[0022] Preferably, the float 2 has a sandglass-shaped structure, which has better stability in water, can reduce the shaking of the device on the sea surface due to factors such as water flow and waves, make the algal detector 6 more stable during monitoring, ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data, and at the same time, this shape is also conducive to reducing the resistance of water flow to the float 2 and reducing energy consumption.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] This embodiment is based on the function expansion of example 1, specifically:

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The side of the bearing disc is further provided with an anti-collision buffer assembly, which comprises a plurality of buffer plates 11 arranged in an array on the periphery of the bearing disc, a plurality of insertion rods 14 are fixedly installed on the inner ring of the buffer plate 11, the insertion rod 14 is movably inserted into the bearing disc 1, and the end of the insertion rod 14 is provided with a buffer spring 15. The anti-collision buffer assembly can effectively buffer the impact force of external objects on the bearing disc 1. Through the synergistic effect of the buffer plate 11, the insertion rod 14 and the buffer spring 15, the damage of the impact to the internal equipment of the device is reduced, the anti-impact ability of the device in the complex marine environment is improved, and the normal operation and the continuity of the monitoring work of the device are ensured.

[0027] In addition, a plurality of grooves 16 are arranged in an array on the outer side wall of the buffer plate 11, a roller 17 is rotatably installed in the groove 16, and a rubber pad is arranged on the outer side wall of the buffer plate 11.

When the device contacts other objects, the roller 17 can reduce the friction, so that the device can move more smoothly, avoiding damage to the device caused by severe friction. The rubber pad can absorb more impact energy, protecting the device while reducing damage to the impacting object.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] When the algae monitoring device is in use, the bearing disc 1 is floated on the sea surface by the buoyancy of the floating body 2, the hourglass-shaped floating body 2 provides a stable floating state, the photovoltaic panel 13 absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy stored in the battery 3 to power the device. When it is necessary to monitor the marine algae, the servo motor 7 drives the winding roller 5 to rotate, and the data line 4 is released, so that the algae measuring instrument 6 is lowered to the specified depth. In this process, if water algae is encountered, the crushing fan blade 9 is driven to rotate by the crushing motor 10 at the bottom of the protective cage 8, so as to crush the water algae and reduce the obstruction of the water algae to the descent of the algae measuring instrument 6. The algae measuring instrument 6 can effectively resist external impact under the protection of the protective cage 8. When the bearing disc 1 is impacted by external objects, the buffer plate 11 of the anti-collision buffer assembly absorbs the impact force through the insertion rod 14 and the buffer spring 15. The roller 17 and the rubber pad on the outer side wall of the buffer plate 11 further buffer the impact and reduce the friction, thereby protecting the bearing disc 1 and the internal equipment. After the monitoring is completed, the servo motor 7 reversely drives the winding roller 5 to retract the data line 4, so as to lift the algae measuring instrument 6 to the initial position. The transparent protective cover 12 can protect the equipment on the bearing disc 1 from external erosion.
