[0010] The bottom of the housing is provided with a connector that matches the mounting groove. The connector extends into the mounting groove and the two are movably connected. This invention allows the buoy body to be movably connected to the housing, facilitating maintenance of components such as the power supply and positioning device, while reducing maintenance costs.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting groove is threadedly connected to the connector.

[0012] Preferably, the connector engages with the mounting slot.

[0013] Preferably, the housing is transparent; the power source is a solar power source. This invention uses a solar power source to continuously supply power to the signal lights and positioning devices by receiving solar energy.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the housing is provided with a plug-in protrusion, which has a through hole identical to the inner cavity of the housing. The plug-in protrusion matches the cavity of the extension tube and is inserted into the extension tube. This design ensures convenient and stable installation.

[0022] The following describes the embodiments and related details and working principle of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. This type of fishing net positioning buoy includes a buoy body 4, an electrical control component 3, and an extension tube 2. A fishing net connecting ring 5 is provided at the bottom of the buoy body 4, and the buoy is connected to the fishing net through the fishing net connecting ring 5. The electrical control component 3 includes a housing 7, a positioning device 8, and a power supply. The housing 7 is installed on the top of the buoy body 4, and the positioning device 8 and power supply are housed inside the housing 7, with the positioning device 8 connected to the power supply. The extension tube 2 is a hollow tube, with one end connected to the housing 7 and the other end equipped with a signal light 1. The signal light 1 is connected to an electrical wire, which passes through the extension tube 2 and connects to the power supply inside the housing 7. This utility model provides a signal light 1 and a positioning device 8 on the buoy body 4, allowing fishermen to quickly identify the location of the fishing net. Furthermore, the signal light 1 is positioned at the top of the extension tube 2, increasing its height and preventing it from being obstructed by waves, thus facilitating identification by fishermen.

[0023] The buoy body 4 has a mounting groove 10 at its top; the housing 7 has a connector 9 at its bottom that matches the mounting groove 10. The connector 9 extends into the mounting groove 10 and the two are movably connected. The movable connection between the buoy body 4 and the housing 7 facilitates maintenance of components such as the power supply and positioning device 8. When the power supply or positioning device 8 malfunctions and requires maintenance or replacement, the housing 7 can be disassembled from the buoy body 4 for repair or replacement, reducing maintenance costs. The movable connection between the housing 7 and the buoy body 4 can be achieved in different ways. For example, the mounting groove 10 and the connector may have matching threads, forming a threaded connection; or the connector may be snapped into the mounting groove 10, with the connector consisting of several cantilever arms. The mounting groove 10 has grooves that match the protrusions on the cantilever arms. The connector enters the mounting groove 10, and the protrusions on the cantilever arms enter the grooves to achieve a snap-fit. When disassembling, the cantilever arms are squeezed to disengage the protrusions from the grooves, allowing the connector to be pulled out of the mounting groove.

[0024] The top of the housing 7 is provided with a plug-in protrusion 6. The plug-in protrusion 6 has a through hole that is the same as the inner cavity of the housing 7. The plug-in protrusion 6 matches the cavity of the extension tube 2. The plug-in protrusion 6 is inserted into the extension tube 2, and the two fit tightly. Adhesive can also be added to make the plug-in protrusion 6 and the extension tube 2 firmly connected.

[0025] The shell 7 is transparent; the power source is solar power, which continuously provides power to the signal light 1 and the positioning device 8 by receiving solar energy. The buoy body 4 is cylindrical with a funnel-shaped lower end; the buoy body 4 is heavier at the bottom and lighter at the top.

[0026] The fishing net connecting ring 5 can be a closed loop, connected to the fishing net via a net cable. For ease of use, the fishing net connecting ring 5 includes a fixed ring body 11 and a swing arm. The fixed ring body 11 is connected to the buoy body 4. The fixed ring body 11 has a notch, and the swing arm 13 engages with the notch of the fixed ring body 11. The ends corresponding to the notch of the fixed ring body 11 are a first end 12 and a second end 15, respectively. One end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to the first end 12. The other end of the swing arm is a swing end 14, which is connected to a spring that closes the swing end 14 with the second end 15. That is, the spring force causes the swing end 14 of the swing arm 13 to swing toward the second end 15 of the fixed ring body 11, and the two are pressed together, closing the notch. If the swing arm 13 is pushed, causing its swing end 14 to move away from the second end 15, the notch opens, thus allowing for quick installation of the buoy body 4.
