Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, specifically to a hydrological monitoring buoy. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrological monitoring is a complex and comprehensive system engineering project that uses scientific methods to monitor, measure, analyze, and provide early warnings about the spatial and temporal distribution and changing patterns of water in nature. It is a comprehensive discipline. Hydrological monitoring buoys are buoys that can automatically detect hydrological elements on the water surface.

[0003] Existing hydrological monitoring buoys ensure stable floating on the water surface through a float body during operation, and then send back the measured hydrological data to the monitoring terminal according to the set requirements.

[0004] Existing hydrological monitoring buoys have the following problems: they have poor impact resistance and are easily damaged when they are hit by ships or encounter severe weather. Therefore, we propose a new type of hydrological monitoring buoy. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a hydrological monitoring buoy that reduces the impact force on the hydrological monitoring buoy when it encounters an accident through a buffer mechanism, thereby reducing the damage to the hydrological monitoring buoy and effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydrological monitoring buoy, comprising a buoy body, a buffer cavity formed on the inner and outer sides of the buoy body, and a buffer mechanism;

[0007] The buffer mechanism includes an H-shaped seat, a first connecting rod, a U-shaped seat, a sliding seat, limiting posts, and springs. The buffer cavity has evenly distributed H-shaped seats on its side wall away from the center of the float. The upper and lower sides of the H-shaped seats are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod via pins. The end of the first connecting rod away from the H-shaped seat is rotatably connected to the U-shaped seat via a second pin. The side of the U-shaped seat closest to the center of the float is fixedly connected to a sliding seat. The buffer cavity has evenly distributed limiting posts inside. Each sliding seat is slidably connected between two adjacent limiting posts. Springs are movably fitted at the upper and lower ends of the outer surface of each limiting post. The springs are located between the sliding seat and the inner wall of the buffer cavity on the side of the sliding seat away from the H-shaped seat. This buffer mechanism reduces the impact force on the hydrological monitoring buoy when it encounters an accident, thus reducing damage to the buoy.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper surface of the float is provided with evenly distributed support columns, and the upper surfaces of the four support columns are fixedly connected to the lower surface of a support plate. The outer surface of the support plate is fixedly connected with a slip ring to facilitate the support of the solar panel.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate. A second connecting rod is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft. A solar panel is provided at the end of the second connecting rod away from the rotating shaft. A contact block is provided at the lower end of the solar panel on the side close to the rotating shaft. The inner wall of the groove of the contact block contacts the outer surface of the slip ring, which facilitates changing the orientation of the solar panel.

[0010] Furthermore, the float is equipped with a storage battery inside, and a solar controller is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the float. The output end of the solar panel is electrically connected to the input end of the solar controller, and the output end of the solar controller is electrically connected to the input end of the storage battery, so as to facilitate the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy for storage.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a microcontroller, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the float. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the output terminal of the battery to facilitate control of the rotation of the solar panel.

[0012] Furthermore, a motor is provided on the lower surface of the support plate. The upper end of the motor's output shaft is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller to provide driving force.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower surface of the float is provided with evenly distributed connecting blocks, and the lower surface of each connecting block is provided with a connecting chain. The lower ends of the four connecting chains are fixedly connected to the upper surface of a counterweight block, which facilitates the float to float stably on the water surface.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This hydrological monitoring buoy has the following advantages:

[0015] When a hydrological monitoring buoy is impacted, the lateral impact force compresses the outer surface of the buoy body, causing the H-shaped seat to move closer to the center of the buoy body. Under the restriction of the limiting post, the first connecting rod rotates around the first pin, which drives the vertically adjacent sliding seat to move in the opposite direction through the U-shaped seat, compressing the spring and converting the lateral impact force into forces in both the upward and downward directions. This reduces the impact force on the hydrological monitoring buoy when it encounters an accident, thus reducing the damage to the hydrological monitoring buoy. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figs. 1-3This embodiment provides a technical solution: a hydrological monitoring buoy, including a float 1, which is a polyurethane foam float. A buffer cavity 2 is formed on the inner and outer sides of the float 1. It also includes a buffer mechanism 3. The upper surface of the float 1 is provided with evenly distributed support columns 5. The upper surfaces of the four support columns 5 are all fixedly connected to the lower surface of a support plate 6. A slip ring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support plate 6. A rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 6. A second connecting rod 8 is provided at the upper end of the rotating shaft 7. A sunshade is provided at the end of the second connecting rod 8 away from the rotating shaft 7. The solar panel 9 has a contact block 11 at its lower end near the rotating shaft 7. The inner wall of the groove of the contact block 11 contacts the outer surface of the slip ring 10. A battery 13 is installed inside the float 1. A solar controller 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the float 1. The output end of the solar panel 9 is electrically connected to the input end of the solar controller 17, and the output end of the solar controller 17 is electrically connected to the input end of the battery 13. The float 1 also includes a microcontroller 4, which is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the float 1. The input end of the microcontroller 4 is electrically connected to the output end of the battery 13. At the end, a motor 12 is provided on the lower surface of the support plate 6. The upper end of the output shaft of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 7. The input end of the motor 12 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 4. The lower surface of the float 1 is provided with evenly distributed connecting blocks 14. Each connecting block 14 has a connecting chain 15 on its lower surface. The lower ends of the four connecting chains 15 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of a counterweight block 16. After the staff places the hydrological monitoring buoy in a suitable position on the water surface, the counterweight block 16 pulls the connecting chain 15 by its own weight. The hydrological monitoring buoy is positioned between the float 1 and the counterweight block. Under the combined action of 16, it floats stably on the water surface. When the solar panel 9 is exposed to sunlight, it converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is transmitted to the solar controller 17 and converted into direct current. The direct current is then sent to the storage battery 13 for storage. When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the solar panel 9, the microcontroller 4 is controlled to turn on the motor 12. The output shaft of the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. Under the restriction of the slip ring 10 and the contact block 11, the rotation of the rotating shaft 7 drives the solar panel 9 to rotate around the rotating shaft 7 through the second connecting rod 8, thereby changing the orientation of the solar panel 9.

[0022] Buffer mechanism 3 includes an H-shaped seat 31, a first connecting rod 32, a U-shaped seat 33, a sliding seat 34, a limiting post 35, and a spring 36. The buffer cavity 2 has evenly distributed H-shaped seats 31 on its side wall away from the center of the float 1. The upper and lower sides of the H-shaped seat 31 are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 32 via pins. The end of the first connecting rod 32 away from the H-shaped seat 31 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped seat 33 via a second pin. The side of the U-shaped seat 33 closest to the center of the float 1 is fixedly connected to a sliding seat 34. The buffer cavity 2 has evenly distributed limiting posts 35. Each sliding seat 34 is slidably connected between two adjacent limiting posts 35. The outer surface of the limiting post 35... Springs 36 are movably fitted at both the upper and lower ends of the buoy. The springs 36 are located on the side of the sliding seat 34 away from the H-shaped seat 31, between the inner wall of the buffer cavity 2. When the hydrological monitoring buoy is impacted, the lateral impact force squeezes the outer side of the buoy 1, causing the H-shaped seat 31 to move towards the center of the buoy 1. Under the restriction of the limiting post 35, the first connecting rod 32 rotates around the first pin, which drives the vertically adjacent sliding seat 34 to move in the opposite direction through the U-shaped seat 33, squeezing the springs 36 and converting the lateral impact force into forces in the upward and downward directions. This reduces the impact force on the hydrological monitoring buoy and reduces the damage to the hydrological monitoring buoy.

[0023] The working principle of the hydrological monitoring buoy provided by this utility model is as follows: After the staff places the hydrological monitoring buoy in a suitable position on the water surface, the counterweight 16 pulls the connecting chain 15 by its own weight. Under the combined action of the float 1 and the counterweight 16, the hydrological monitoring buoy floats stably on the water surface. When the solar panel 9 is exposed to sunlight, it converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is transmitted to the solar controller 17 and converted into direct current. The direct current is then sent to the battery 13 for storage. When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the solar panel 9, the microcontroller 4 is controlled to turn on the motor 12. The output shaft of the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, which is restricted by the slip ring 10 and the contact block 11. The rotation of the shaft 7 drives the solar panel 9 to rotate around the shaft 7 via the second connecting rod 8, thereby changing the orientation of the solar panel 9. When the hydrological monitoring buoy is impacted, the lateral impact force compresses the outer side of the float 1, causing the H-shaped seat 31 to move towards the center of the float 1. Under the restriction of the limiting post 35, the first connecting rod 32 rotates around the first pin, which drives the vertically adjacent sliding seat 34 to move in the opposite direction via the U-shaped seat 33, compressing the spring 36 and converting the lateral impact force into forces in the upward and downward directions. This reduces the impact force on the hydrological monitoring buoy and reduces the damage to the hydrological monitoring buoy.

[0024] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 4 disclosed in the above embodiments can be an EFM32LG995, the motor 12 can be a YE3-631-2, and the solar controller 17 can be an MPPT solar controller. The microcontroller 4 controls the operation of the motor 12 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
