[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a data acquisition device suitable for underwater multi-sensor systems, including a housing 1 and a sensor group 11 disposed on the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a power module 12, a communication module 13 and a positioning module 14 inside, and a protective component 2 is provided on the outside of the housing 1.

[0030] The protective component 2 includes a protective cover 21 located at the upper and lower ends of the housing 1 and a protective plate 23 located on the outside of the housing 1. A first buffer 22 is provided between the protective cover 21 and the housing 1. Multiple sets of protective plates 23 are provided at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the housing 1. A second buffer 24 is provided between the protective plate 23 and the housing 1.

[0031] The sensor group 11 includes multiple sensors, namely a water temperature sensor, a water pressure sensor, a water flow rate sensor, a dissolved oxygen sensor, a pH sensor, a turbidity sensor, an ammonia nitrogen sensor, an optical sensor, a water quality sensor, a sonar sensor, a spectral sensor, a salinity sensor, a radiation sensor, a nitrogen dioxide sensor, a temperature gradient sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a chemical sensor, and a radar sensor, which are used for real-time monitoring of the underwater environment. These are existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0032] In this embodiment, the device consists of a housing 1, a sensor group 11, a power module 12, a communication module 13, and a positioning module 14. The housing 1 serves as the external enclosure of the device, providing physical protection and waterproofing. The sensor group 11 acquires data through the device and obtains the required power through the power module 12. The communication module 13 is responsible for transmitting the acquired data to the host system. The positioning module 14 provides real-time location information to help locate the underwater device. To increase the stability and impact resistance of the device in the underwater environment, a protective component 2 is provided on the outside of the device. The protective component 2 includes a protective cover 21 and a protective plate 23. A first buffer 22 is provided between the protective cover 21 at the upper and lower ends of the housing 1 to provide additional buffering effect, preventing the sensor group 11 from being impacted and avoiding damage. The protective plate 23 is evenly spaced along the circumference of the housing 1 and provides additional buffering effect through the second buffer 24. It can effectively absorb the impact force of external organisms such as fish and mammals, reduce the external pressure on the device, avoid damage to the device caused by the impact force of collision, and prevent the interruption of data acquisition.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the first buffer member 22 includes a sleeve 221 disposed on the housing 1 and a sleeve rod 222 slidably connected to the sleeve 221. One end of the sleeve rod 222 is connected to the protective cover 21. A first elastic member 223 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 221. One end of the first elastic member 223 is connected to the protective cover 21. The first elastic member 223 is a spring.

[0034] In this embodiment, when an external biological impact or collision occurs, the impact force first acts on the protective cover 21. At this time, the protective cover 21 transmits part of the impact force to the sleeve 221 through the sleeve rod 222 and slides into the sleeve 221, so that the impact force is dispersed. At the same time, the energy is absorbed by the first elastic element 223. The deformation and recovery force of the first elastic element 223 play a role in mitigating the impact, effectively avoiding damage caused by the collision of the biological organism.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the protective cover 21 is hemispherical in shape and has a hollowed-out center.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the equipment encounters external force or water flow impact, the hemispherical shape of the protective cover 21 helps to disperse these impact forces, and the hollow design reduces pressure concentration. The protective cover 21 will transmit the external impact to the first buffer 22. Through the sliding of the sleeve 221 and the sleeve rod 222 and the energy absorption effect of the first elastic member 223, the impact force is effectively absorbed and dispersed, avoiding the external force from acting directly on the internal equipment.

[0037] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a through groove 211 is provided on the outer side of the protective cover 21, and multiple sets of through grooves 211 are provided at equal intervals along its circumference.

[0038] In this embodiment, the through groove 211 is used to reduce the resistance of water flow, so that the device can move more smoothly in the water when it is lowered into the water.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the second buffer 24 includes a fixing plate 246 disposed on the outside of the housing 1, and the fixing plate 246 is provided in two sets. A fixing rod 241 is fixed between the two sets of fixing plates 246. A collar 242 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 241, and two sets of collars 242 are symmetrically arranged. A second elastic member 245 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 241, and two sets of the second elastic member 245 are symmetrically arranged, respectively located between the collar 242 and the fixing plate 246. A fixing block 244 is provided on the inner side of the protective plate 23. A connecting rod 243 is hinged to one side of the fixing block 244, and two sets of connecting rods 243 are provided. One end of each set of connecting rods 243 is hinged to the collar 242.

[0040] In this embodiment, when a biological or other external force acts on the protective plate 23, the protective plate 23 drives the fixing block 244 to move outward of the housing 1, thereby pushing the connecting rod 243, causing the collar 242 to slide along the fixing rod 241. During the sliding process, the second elastic element 245 will be compressed. When the second elastic element 245 is subjected to external force, it will undergo elastic deformation, thereby absorbing the energy of external impact and reducing the impact or pressure on the equipment, thus achieving a buffering effect.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the protective plate 23 is arc-shaped.

[0042] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped protective plate 23 can effectively disperse external impact force, and due to the geometric characteristics of its shape, the strength and compressive strength of the protective plate 23 can be increased.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, elastic grids 25 are provided between multiple sets of protective plates 23.

[0044] In this embodiment, the elastic grid 25 can prevent organisms from directly impacting the shell 1 through the gaps between the multiple sets of protective plates 23, and can provide better cushioning and support, further increasing the overall impact resistance.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the protective cover 21 is provided with a hanging ring 212.

[0046] In this embodiment, the device is lifted and placed in suitable water using the lifting ring 212.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer side of the housing 1 is provided with a protective layer 15, which is made of copper metal.

[0048] In this embodiment, by providing a protective layer 15 of copper metal on the outside of the shell 1, this design not only provides excellent physical protection and corrosion resistance, but also enhances the electromagnetic shielding, thermal management and mechanical protection capabilities of the device. At the same time, it has a certain anti-adhesion effect, preventing aquatic organisms such as algae and shellfish from adhering to the outside of the shell 1, and further ensuring its stability during use.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
