Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent monitoring buoy sensor technology, and specifically discloses an intelligent marine monitoring buoy sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Marine environmental monitoring is an extremely important project. With increasing efforts in marine environmental monitoring, the use of various monitoring equipment is also increasing. Smart buoys are key platforms for marine observation, exploration, and deep-sea development. Currently, countries around the world are vigorously developing new deep-sea buoy technologies to seize the commanding heights in the new round of deep-sea competition. "Smart Buoys for the Global Deep Ocean" is the first national major scientific instrument development project approved in my country's marine science field. It plays an important role in promoting the leapfrog development of my country's deep-sea research and making the deep ocean "transparent".

[0003] A marine intelligent monitoring buoy sensor, with Chinese patent number CN211893564U, includes a buoy shell. A buoy-enhancing ring is fixedly connected to the top surface of the buoy shell. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the inner wall of the buoy shell. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block and inside the buoy shell. A balancer is provided at corresponding positions on the surface of the buoy shell. The working end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the balancer. A balance weight is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the buoy shell by an anchor chain. A drive propeller is provided on one side of the buoy shell near the buoy-enhancing ring, achieving good stability and accurate detection.

[0004] The aforementioned device mounts the water quality detector on the outer wall of the buoy hull, making it inconvenient to disassemble and maintain. Furthermore, in harsh sea conditions, the water quality detector is prone to measurement errors due to collisions or biological adhesion. Therefore, a marine intelligent monitoring buoy sensor is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a marine intelligent monitoring buoy sensor that facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the probe, prevents the probe from colliding with floating objects in the sea, and makes it easy to clean the probe, thus ensuring the stability of long-term monitoring data.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a marine intelligent monitoring buoy sensor includes a system main control compartment. The outer wall of the system main control compartment is provided with a buoy body and a water quality sensor chamber. The water quality sensor chamber includes an upper shell fixedly connected to the outer wall of the system main control compartment. The upper shell is internally threaded with a support ring. The lower end of the support ring is fixedly connected with a filter cover. The outer wall of the filter cover is provided with a cleaning mechanism. The interior of the water quality sensor chamber is provided with a detection mechanism.

[0007] The detection mechanism includes a hexagonal prism support plate fixedly installed on the outer wall of the system's main control compartment. The outer wall of the hexagonal prism support plate has multiple internal threaded slots, and probes are threaded into the interior of each of the multiple internal threaded slots. Multiple brackets are fixedly connected to the top of the upper shell, and transducers are detachably connected to the outer walls of each of the multiple brackets via flanges.

[0008] The cleaning mechanism includes a mounting frame fixedly connected to the upper end of the system's main control compartment. A stepper motor is installed inside the mounting frame. The output end of the stepper motor passes through the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to a drive rod. A guide ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support ring. A card seat that is slidably connected to the guide ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drive rod. A scraper is fixedly connected to the lower end of the card seat.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent marine monitoring buoy sensor of this utility model, the filter cover is composed of a stainless steel outer mesh and a PTFE inner filter mesh stacked together.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent marine monitoring buoy sensor of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed solar panels are provided between the buoy body and the main control compartment of the system.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. Multiple probes can be protected by a filter cover to prevent them from colliding with floating objects in the water. The filter cover can also initially block impurities in the water. Multiple transducers can convert electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid. When the bubbles collapse instantly, they release micro-jet streams and shock waves to peel off barnacles, algae and other attached substances on the probe surface, ensuring the stability of long-term monitoring data.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A marine intelligent monitoring buoy sensor includes a system main control chamber 2. The outer wall of the system main control chamber 2 is provided with a buoy body 1 and a water quality sensor chamber 5. The water quality sensor chamber 5 includes an upper shell 3 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the system main control chamber 2. The upper shell 3 is internally threaded with a support ring 4. The lower end of the support ring 4 is fixedly connected with a filter cover 6. The outer wall of the filter cover 6 is provided with a cleaning mechanism. The interior of the water quality sensor chamber 5 is provided with a detection mechanism.

[0025] The testing mechanism includes a hexagonal prism support plate 7 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main control compartment 2 of the system. The outer wall of the hexagonal prism support plate 7 is provided with multiple internal thread slots 18. The probes 17 are threadedly connected to the inside of the multiple internal thread slots 18. Multiple brackets 8 are fixedly connected to the top inside the upper shell 3. The outer walls of the multiple brackets 8 are detachably connected to transducers 10 through flanges.

[0026] The cleaning mechanism includes a mounting bracket 16 fixedly connected to the upper end of the system main control compartment 2. A stepper motor 15 is installed inside the mounting bracket 16. The output end of the stepper motor 15 passes through the mounting bracket 16 and is fixedly connected to a drive rod 12. A guide ring 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support ring 4. A card seat 13 that is slidably connected to the guide ring 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drive rod 12. A scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the card seat 13.

[0027] In this embodiment: When in use, the buoy body 1 is placed on the water surface. Multiple probes 17 can be used to detect the water quality in the sea. The filter cover 6 can protect the multiple probes 17 from collision with floating objects in the water. The filter cover 6 can also initially block impurities in the sea. Multiple transducers 10 (recommended models can be APC International's PZT-8 series, such as PZT-8-15x15x5) can convert electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid. When the bubbles collapse instantaneously, they release micro-jet and shock waves to peel off barnacles, algae and other attached substances on the surface of the probes 17.

[0028] When the probe 17 needs to be replaced or maintained, first remove the filter cover 6 from the inner wall of the upper shell 3, then loosen the probe 17 so that the probe 17 is disengaged from the internal threaded slot 18, so that the probe 17 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the filter cover 6 is composed of a stainless steel outer mesh and a PTFE inner filter mesh stacked together.

[0030] In this embodiment: the stainless steel outer mesh can provide rigid support and resist direct impact, while the PTFE inner filter can act as a secondary barrier to intercept fine particles, forming a gradient protection system of "coarse screening + fine filtration".

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the main control compartment 2 of the system integrates a wireless transmission module 9, which is electrically connected to the transducer 10 and the probe 17 through a waterproof wire.

[0032] In this embodiment, the wireless transmission module 9 is electrically connected to the transducer 10 and the probe 17 via a waterproof wire, which facilitates the transmission of electrical signals.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lower end of the filter cover 6 is fixedly connected to an anchor frame.

[0034] In this embodiment: the mooring frame is the key structure connecting the filter cover 6 to the seabed anchor point.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the card holder 13 has a U-shaped structure.

[0036] In this embodiment, the U-shaped structure allows the card holder 13 to be easily locked onto the outer wall of the guide ring 11, increasing the stability of the rotation of the card holder 13.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two symmetrically distributed solar panels are installed between the buoy body 1 and the system main control compartment 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, solar energy is converted into electrical energy to provide continuous power to sensors (such as CTD and pH meter), wireless transmission modules 9 (such as NB-IoT or LoRa), data processing units, and cleaning mechanisms (such as stepper motor 15) in the main control compartment 2 of the system, completely eliminating the dependence on traditional battery replacement or cable power supply.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the buoy body 1 is placed on the water surface, and the anchor frame is fixed to the seabed anchor point (existing technology). Multiple probes 17 can be used to detect the water quality in the sea. The filter cover 6 can protect the multiple probes 17 to prevent the probes 17 from colliding with floating objects in the water. The filter cover 6 can also initially block impurities in the sea. Multiple transducers 10 can convert electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration to generate cavitation bubbles in the liquid. When the bubbles collapse instantly, they release micro-jet and shock wave to peel off barnacles, algae and other attached substances on the surface of the probes 17.

[0040] When the probe 17 needs to be replaced or maintained, first remove the filter cover 6 from the inner wall of the upper shell 3, then loosen the probe 17 so that the probe 17 is disengaged from the internal threaded slot 18, so that the probe 17 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "front", "back", "inner", "outer", "back", "middle", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0042] However, the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, any substitution of equivalent components or equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of protection of this utility model should still fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
