Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine monitoring, specifically a buoy for marine monitoring. Background Technology
[0002] The marine environment is highly variable. To better understand the ocean, we must monitor its dynamics, primarily focusing on marine environmental elements such as water depth, temperature, currents, waves, and color, as well as marine chemical elements and pollutants. Monitoring these dynamics typically involves deploying numerous marine monitoring buoys to track wave height, current direction, seawater temperature, direction, and air pressure.
[0003] Current ocean buoys are mainly composed of observation buoys anchored at sea, forming automatic marine hydrological, water quality, and meteorological observation stations. They can collect necessary marine hydrological, water quality, and meteorological data for long-term, continuous purposes, including marine scientific research, offshore oil (gas) development, port construction, and national defense. In particular, they can collect data on severe weather and sea conditions that are difficult for survey vessels to obtain. However, due to the complexity and unpredictability of sea conditions, the impact of waves keeps the buoys in a constant state of motion. Existing ocean buoys are extremely small compared to the vast ocean surface, and when the sea is rough, they may capsize at any time. If this happens, it will lead to inaccurate monitoring data, or even damage to the buoy, rendering it unable to continue operating. Therefore, to solve this problem, it is essential to design a new type of ocean monitoring buoy. Utility Model Content
