Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation light technology, and in particular to a digital display device for monitoring ocean currents or tidal currents. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of global trade and the increase in the number of ships, the requirements for navigation safety are becoming increasingly stringent. As an important navigation safety facility, the demand for navigation aids will continue to grow. The government is increasingly supporting the navigation aid management industry, providing a favorable policy environment and market opportunities for the development of digital navigation aid displays. At the same time, the continuous development of computer and communication technologies will further promote and apply digital navigation aid technology, driving the rapid development of the digital navigation aid display field.

[0003] The "National Coastal Navigation Aids Master Plan" outlines the overall goals, tasks, and policy measures for the construction and development of coastal navigation aids in my country, including the construction and promotion of digital navigation aids. This reflects the state's emphasis on and support for the development of digital navigation aid technology. The "Maritime Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates the requirements for the installation, maintenance, and management of navigation aids, providing a legal basis for the application of digital navigation aid technology.

[0004] Domestically used navigation marks do not have digital display devices for monitoring the speed and direction of ocean currents (tidal currents). Even if they are deployed, the data is transmitted periodically to the management unit's backend system via the Internet of Things (IoT) for display, and then shared with the crew. This makes it impossible for vessels navigating within the current navigation mark area to obtain more intuitive, real-time, and accurate information on the instantaneous speed and direction of ocean currents (tidal currents).

[0014] The acquisition unit (4.1) is connected to an external data source via an Internet of Things data link to acquire ocean current / tidal current data at a predetermined period. The acquisition unit is connected to the display unit via a processing unit (4.2). The processing unit is used to convert the ocean current data acquired by the acquisition unit into a data format that the display unit can display.

[0015] The display unit, processing unit, and acquisition unit are all connected to the control unit to receive control commands. The display unit, processing unit, acquisition unit, and control unit are all powered by the power supply unit (3).

[0017] The control box is also equipped with a control device (4) that integrates a data acquisition unit, a processing unit and a control unit. The control box is connected to the display unit via a power supply cable and a data cable.

[0018] This invention proposes a digital display device for monitoring ocean currents or tidal currents, comprising a power supply unit, a data acquisition unit, a processing unit, a control unit, and a display unit. The display unit's LED matrix for displaying azimuth is composed of red LEDs arranged to form the letters "W," "S," "E," and "N," with different letter combinations representing eight azimuth angles at night.
