[0002] Water quality monitoring is the process of monitoring and measuring the types of pollutants in water bodies, the concentrations of various pollutants, and their changing trends to evaluate the water quality status. In aquaculture, it involves observing changes in various data related to the living environment of aquatic products to assess their impact. The main monitoring items can be divided into two categories: one is comprehensive indicators reflecting the water quality status, such as temperature, color, turbidity, pH value, conductivity, suspended solids, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, and biochemical oxygen demand; the other is some toxic substances, such as phenols, cyanides, arsenic, lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, and organic pesticides.
[0003] Chinese patent CN218156270U discloses a water quality testing float, which belongs to the field of water quality testing float technology. It includes an installation cylinder and a floating component. The floating component is sleeved on the installation cylinder, and the installation cylinder is provided with a multi-layer bracket for installing the water quality testing module. The existing technology is prone to tipping over in strong winds due to the overall slender shape of the device and the small direct contact area with the water surface, which can cause failures such as water ingress into the main board.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a highly stable float for water quality testing, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A highly stable water quality testing float includes: a float plate, characterized in that multiple sets of mounting plates are vertically installed at the bottom of the float plate, floats are arranged between the mounting plates, a fixed shaft is installed through the center of the float, an mounting rod is arranged at the bottom of the float plate near the edge, a sensor box is arranged at the bottom of the mounting rod, and a prefabricated sensor is installed inside the sensor box.
[0008] Optionally, an electrical control box is provided on the top of the float, an extension block is provided at the center of the electrical control box, a main board is provided on the top of the extension block, an outer pipeline box is provided on the top of the float near the mounting rod, and inner pipeline boxes are provided on the top and side of the extension block. One end of the inner pipeline box is connected to the main board, and the other end of the inner pipeline box is connected to the outer pipeline box.
[0009] Optionally, a vertical pole is provided at the center of the bottom of the float, a counterweight box is provided at the bottom of the vertical pole, and a counterweight block is provided inside the counterweight box.
[0010] Optionally, the number of floats between the mounting plates can be adjusted as needed, and the number of counterweights inside the counterweight box can be adjusted as needed.
[0011] Optionally, the prefabricated sensor and the motherboard are connected via a quick-connect aviation connector.
[0012] Optionally, a battery is installed on one side of the motherboard inside the riser block.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:
[0014] 1. This highly stable water quality testing float connects prefabricated sensors to a main board via quick-connect aviation connectors. The main board is mounted above the float plate and has no rigid connection to the shore. The main board and sensors are powered by a battery. The counterweight on the bottom column increases the overall weight, forming a structure that prevents the float from capsizing in strong winds, thus achieving a self-stabilizing system.
[0015] 2. This highly stable water quality testing float has a bottom float mounted on a fixed shaft. Multiple mounting plates allow the user to adjust the number of floats installed under the float plate, thereby changing the buoyancy of the device. At the same time, the number of counterweights in the counterweight box can be changed according to the buoyancy, making the device less prone to shaking on the water surface. Its stability can be adjusted according to the stability of the water surface, making the device suitable for various water environments.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a highly stable float for water quality testing, including: float plate 1.
[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple sets of mounting plates 101 are vertically installed at the bottom of the float plate 1. Floats 2 are arranged between the mounting plates 101, and a fixed shaft 201 is installed through the center of each float 2. A mounting rod 6 is located near the edge of the bottom of the float plate 1, and a sensor box 7 is located at the bottom of the mounting rod 6. A prefabricated sensor 8 is installed inside the sensor box 7. The mounting plates 101 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the float plate 1. The fixed shaft 201 passes between two mounting plates 101, and the float 2 is fitted onto the fixed shaft 201 to be installed below the float plate 1. The combination of multiple sets of floats 2 provides buoyancy for the entire device, enabling it to float on the water surface. The sensor boxes 7 below the mounting rods 6 at the four corners contain prefabricated sensors 8. When the float plate 1 floats on the water surface, the mounting rods 6 and sensor boxes 7 are inserted into the water, and the water body is detected by a total of six sensors.
[0029] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, an electrical control box 9 is provided on the top of the float 1. An elevating block 10 is provided at the center of the electrical control box 9. A main board 11 is provided on the top of the elevating block 10. An outer pipeline box 12 is provided on the top of the float 1 near the mounting rod 6. An inner pipeline box 13 is provided on the top and side of the elevating block 10. One end of the inner pipeline box 13 is connected to the main board 11, and the other end of the inner pipeline box 13 is connected to the outer pipeline box 12. The elevating block 10 is used to raise the main board 11 to prevent water splashes from hitting the electrical control box 9 and seeping into the interior of the main board 11, causing damage. The prefabricated sensor 8 passes through the center of the mounting rod 6, through the hole on the float 1, into the outer pipeline box 12, fits inside the outer pipeline box 12, passes through the surface of the electrical control box 9, and enters the inner pipeline box 13. Finally, it is connected to the main board 11, and the main board 11 records the values collected by the prefabricated sensor 8 for dust removal analysis.
[0030] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a vertical pole 3 is provided at the center of the bottom of the float 1, and a counterweight box 4 is provided at the bottom of the vertical pole 3. A counterweight block 5 is provided inside the counterweight box 4. The vertical pole 3 extends downward and is inserted into the water. By placing the counterweight block 5 in the bottom counterweight box 4, the weight of the device is increased, making the float 1 more stable. Under the impact of water waves, the swaying amplitude of the entire float 1 is reduced, thereby making the device less prone to tipping over and improving stability.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the number of floats 2 between the mounting plates 101 in this embodiment can be adjusted as needed, and the number of counterweights 5 inside the counterweight box 4 can be adjusted as needed. Specifically, increasing the number of floats 2 increases the buoyancy of the float plate 1, and at the same time, the number of counterweights 5 inside the counterweight box 4 is increased according to the increased buoyancy to increase the weight of the device, so that buoyancy and weight are kept in balance. As the weight of the device increases, the entire structure becomes more stable. The buoyancy and weight are adjusted according to the water surface in different environments, so that the device is less affected by the swaying of the water flow in areas with large water surface fluctuations, thereby avoiding tipping and improving the flexibility of the device.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the prefabricated sensor 8 and the main board 11 are connected by a quick aviation connector; wherein, the prefabricated sensor 8 is finally connected to the main board 11 through the aviation connector connection line. The aviation connector has a certain waterproof performance, which can prevent water seepage at the connector from causing short circuit failure.
[0033] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a battery 14 is installed on one side of the motherboard 11 inside the riser block 10. The battery 14 supplies power to the motherboard 11 and is fixed in the riser block 10, so that the motherboard 11 can work without being rigidly connected to the shore. The detection data is stored in the motherboard 11 and can be actively retrieved after a period of time to check the data. A wireless connection device can also be added so that the data can be read without retrieval, which greatly improves the working time of the device.
[0034] Working principle: A predetermined number of floats 2 are installed on the mounting plate 101 beforehand. Multiple sets of counterweights 5 are placed in the bottom counterweight box 4. The main board 11 is installed on the riser block 10. The prefabricated sensor 7 is placed in the sensor box 7. The connecting wires pass through the mounting rod 6 and the conduit box, and are finally connected to the main board 11. The upright 3 is placed in the water with the bottom facing down to ensure that the entire device can float on the water surface without rigid connection to the shore. The main board 11 and the prefabricated sensor 8 are powered by the battery 14. The main board 11 stores the data generated by the prefabricated sensor 7. The counterweights 5 increase the overall weight, forming a structure that is tumbler in the water, preventing the device from capsizing under the influence of strong winds and waves, thereby achieving a self-stabilizing system.
