[0002] Water pollution seriously affects people's production and daily life safety. Comprehensive, accurate and real-time monitoring of lake and river water quality is of great significance for water environment management and water quality safety.
[0003] Existing automatic water quality monitoring stations are difficult to detect pollution sources in a timely manner due to their fixed locations. Unmanned water quality monitoring vessels have solved this problem well, but when samples need to be taken, staff need to travel back to the location by boat to collect them, which causes inconvenience to the staff. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an unmanned surface vessel for water quality monitoring, thereby resolving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water quality monitoring unmanned surface vessel (USV), wherein a motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the hull, a rotating roller is fixedly installed on the rear side of the motor, a propeller is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating roller away from the motor, a connecting rod is fixedly installed on the side of the hull, an airbag is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting rod away from the hull, a water intake device is fixedly installed on the top surface of the hull, an inspection device is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water intake device, a water pump is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner side of the hull, a water inlet hose is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water pump, an injection device is fixedly installed at the end of the water inlet hose away from the water pump, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the water intake device, a gripper is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, and a test tube is provided on the inner side of the water intake device.
[0008] Preferably, the water intake device includes a base, a turntable is movably mounted on the top surface of the base, a rotating cylinder is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the turntable, an installation plate is fixedly mounted on the inner top surface of the rotating cylinder, an installation groove is formed on the top surface of the installation plate, a fixing cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base, and a fixing base is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom surface of the fixing cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the lower end of the test tube has the same diameter as the mounting groove.
[0010] Preferably, the number of test tubes is equal to the number of mounting slots.
[0011] Preferably, the water pump has a pumping hose fixedly installed on the side away from the inlet hose, and the bottom end of the pumping hose passes through the hull.
[0012] Preferably, the portions of the pumping hose and the rotating roller that pass through the hull are equipped with rubber sealing rings.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an unmanned surface vessel for water quality monitoring, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This unmanned surface vessel (USV) for water quality monitoring firstly requires the test tubes to be numbered and placed in the water sampling device before being placed in the water body to be monitored. The mounting slots on the mounting plate can hold the bottom of the test tubes in place, fixing them inside the mounting plate and allowing them to rotate with the plate. After the test tubes are installed, the USV is placed in the water body to be monitored. After starting the motor, the rotating roller at the rear of the motor drives the propeller to rotate, allowing the USV to move in the water. The direction of the USV can be controlled by a remote control. When sampling the water, the water surface may fluctuate significantly due to weather conditions. The airbags on the sides and front can effectively help the vessel maintain stability. In some water bodies with abundant ecosystems, the airbags can also clear away floating aquatic plants, preventing them from tangling with the propeller and causing it to malfunction.
[0015] 2. This unmanned surface vessel (USV) for water quality monitoring can stop its motor via remote control after reaching the sampling location. The water pump then begins pumping water, and the sampled water passes through an inlet hose to the injection device. One end of the inlet hose is connected to an injection needle, which injects the sample into a test tube. After injection, the needle is removed, and the turntable rotates, allowing for subsequent injections into new test tubes. Once the turntable has rotated, the test tube moves to the notch in the middle of the sampling device. An electric telescopic rod extends, and a gripper picks up the test tube and moves it below the monitoring device. The top-mounted detection device monitors the collected water sample. After monitoring, the test tube is moved into the mounting slot by the gripper and temporarily stored. It is then collected by monitoring personnel upon the vessel's return.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a water quality monitoring unmanned vessel, wherein a motor 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the hull 1, a rotating roller 3 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the motor 6, a propeller 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the rotating roller 3 away from the motor 6, a connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the hull 1, an airbag 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting rod 4 away from the hull 1, a water intake device 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the hull 1, a detection device 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water intake device 7, a water pump 8 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the inner side of the hull 1, a water inlet hose 9 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the water pump 8, an injection device 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the water inlet hose 9 away from the water pump 8, an electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the water intake device 7, a gripper 13 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 12, and a test tube 11 is provided on the inner side of the water intake device 7.
[0023] Furthermore, the water intake device 7 includes a base 701, a turntable 702 is movably mounted on the top surface of the base 701, a rotating cylinder 703 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the turntable 702, an installation plate 705 is fixedly mounted on the inner top surface of the rotating cylinder 703, an installation groove 704 is provided on the top surface of the installation plate 705, a fixing cylinder 706 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base 701, and a fixing base 707 is fixedly mounted on the inner bottom surface of the fixing cylinder 706.
[0024] With the above technical solution, after the test tube 11 takes a water sample, it is rotated by the turntable 702 and enters the middle of the water sampling device 7, where the water quality is tested by the detection device 15.
[0025] Furthermore, the lower end of test tube 11 has the same diameter as the mounting groove 704.
[0026] Through the above technical solution, the test tube 11 can be placed inside the mounting groove 704. The diameter of the part of the test tube 11 that is higher than the mounting groove 704 will be larger than the diameter of the mounting groove 704, so that when the test tube 11 is placed inside the mounting groove 704, it can stand more stably and avoid the test tube 11 being tilted.
[0027] Furthermore, the number of test tubes 11 is equal to the number of mounting slots 704.
[0028] With the above technical solution, six installation slots 704 are provided, and six matching test tubes 11 are also provided, which can be used to test the water quality of more different locations in the same body of water, such as the center of the lake and the lakeside.
[0029] Furthermore, a water pump 8 is fixedly installed with a water suction hose 10 on the side away from the water inlet hose 9, and the bottom end of the water suction hose 10 passes through the hull 1.
[0030] Through the above technical solution, the water pump 8 can pump water and inject it into the test tube 11.
[0031] Furthermore, the portions of the pumping hose 10 and the rotating roller 3 that pass through the hull 1 are equipped with rubber sealing rings.
[0032] The above technical solution ensures that water will not enter the monitoring vessel and cause it to sink when in use.
[0033] Working Principle: Before placing the monitoring vessel in the water body to be monitored, test tubes 11 are numbered and placed in the water sampling device 7. The mounting groove 704 on the mounting plate 705 can hold the bottom of the test tube 11, fixing it inside the mounting plate 705 and allowing it to rotate with the mounting plate 705. After installing the test tubes 11, the monitoring vessel is placed in the water body to be monitored. After starting the motor 6, the rotating roller 3 on the rear side of the motor 6 drives the propeller 2 to rotate, allowing the monitoring vessel to move in the water. The direction of the monitoring vessel is then controlled by a remote control. When sampling the water body, due to weather conditions, the water surface may experience significant fluctuations. The airbags 5 on both sides and the front can effectively help the vessel 1 maintain stability. At the same time, in some water bodies with vigorous ecosystems, the airbags 5 can clear away floating aquatic plants, preventing them from entangled in the propeller 2 and causing it to spin. In case of malfunction, after the monitoring vessel reaches the sampling position, the motor 6 can be stopped via remote control. At this time, the water pump 8 starts pumping water. The extracted water sample reaches the water injection device through the water inlet hose 9. One end of the water inlet hose 9 is connected to the water injection needle. The water sample can be injected into the test tube 11 through the water injection needle. After the injection is completed, the water injection needle is pulled out, and the turntable 702 will rotate so that the next water injection can be injected into a new test tube 11. After the water injection is completed, the test tube 11 will come to the notch in the middle of the water sampling device 7 after the turntable 702 rotates. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 12 extends, the clamp 13 clamps the test tube 11 and moves it to the bottom of the monitoring device. The detection device 15 on the top side will monitor the collected water sample. After the monitoring is completed, the test tube 11 will be moved to the inside of the installation slot 704 by the clamp 13 and temporarily stored. When the monitoring vessel returns, it will be collected by the monitoring personnel.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
