Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buoy technology, specifically to a wind-adaptive adjustment device for a rope buoy. Background Technology
[0002] Rope buoys, widely used in marine and riverine aquatic environments for monitoring and navigation, primarily function to provide crucial hydrological and meteorological data for scientific research and shipping activities by monitoring changes in their position and status. They can also serve to mark waterways and warn of dangerous areas. In complex and variable aquatic environments, wind is a significant factor affecting the operational status and data accuracy of rope buoys. When winds are too strong, rope buoys may tilt, shift, or even be swept away by waves due to uneven stress, leading to distorted monitoring data and navigational malfunctions. This can ultimately hinder scientific research and threaten shipping safety. Therefore, to ensure that rope buoys function stably and accurately under varying wind conditions, developing a wind-adaptive adjustment device that automatically adjusts its position according to wind changes is crucial.
[0003] In the field of wind-adaptive adjustment of rope buoys, traditional technologies mostly employ fixed structures or simple mechanical adjustment methods. Fixed-structure rope buoys cannot adaptively adjust to changes in wind force, are easily damaged in strong winds, leading to data interruption and failing to provide continuous and reliable support for subsequent scientific research and shipping activities. While simple mechanical adjustment methods can adjust the buoy's attitude to some extent, they suffer from low adjustment accuracy and slow response speed. When wind force changes suddenly, traditional mechanical adjustment devices often fail to react accurately and promptly, resulting in delayed buoy attitude adjustment, inability to effectively resist wind influence, and potential tilting or shifting of the buoy, affecting its normal operation. Furthermore, traditional technologies typically require regular manual maintenance and adjustment, increasing labor costs and posing significant challenges and risks in adverse weather conditions, further limiting the effectiveness and applicability of rope buoys. Therefore, we propose a wind-adaptive adjustment device for rope buoys. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a wind-adaptive adjustment device for rope buoys, which solves the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rope buoy wind force adaptation adjustment device, comprising a float, a fixed cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the float, an adjusting cover fixedly connected to the top of the fixed cylinder, a forward and reverse motor fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the adjusting cover, a rotating disk fixedly connected to the bottom rotating shaft of the forward and reverse motor, six arc-shaped limiting grooves evenly distributed in an annular pattern on the top of the rotating disk, six sliding grooves evenly distributed in an annular pattern on the top of the fixed cylinder, a sliding rod slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the sliding groove, and one end of the top of the sliding rod slidingly engaging with one end of the inner wall of the rotating disk.
[0006] Preferably, a fan plate is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the slide rod, and the fan plate extends to one end of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the float is fixedly connected to six slide rails that are equidistantly distributed in a ring, and the bottom output end of the fan plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the slide rails.
[0008] Preferably, a float ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the float.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the adjustment cover is provided with a top cap, and the outer wall of one end of the top cap is provided with six photovoltaic panels distributed in a ring at equal intervals.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the float is provided with three anchor chains that are distributed in a ring at equal intervals.
[0011] Preferably, a sinker is fixedly connected to the bottom of the anchor chain.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a wind force adaptation adjustment device for rope buoys, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This rope buoy wind adaptation adjustment device, compared to traditional rope buoy wind adjustment technologies that rely heavily on manual estimation or simple mechanical structures, suffers from insufficient accuracy and timeliness in the face of complex and ever-changing wind environments. For example, in the event of a sudden strong wind, traditional devices cannot quickly and accurately adjust their own attitude, causing the buoy to tilt or shift, resulting in data deviations or even interruptions. In contrast, this device uses a rotating disk driven by a forward and reverse motor to precisely move the sliding rod and fan blades. It can automatically adjust the fan blade deployment angle in real time according to the wind force and direction, accurately changing the area exposed to wind, ensuring the buoy remains stable. This provides continuous and accurate data support for scientific research and shipping, significantly improving data stability.
[0014] 2. Compared to traditional rope buoy wind force adjustment devices, this device features a simpler structure. However, under prolonged exposure to wind and waves, components are prone to wear and loosening, leading to performance degradation and a shortened lifespan. For example, the connection between the fan plate and the buoy in some traditional devices is not secure enough, making them susceptible to deformation or damage in strong winds and waves. This device features an optimized structural design. The coordinated design of the sliding rod, groove, and rail makes the fan plate movement more stable and smooth. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the bottom of the fan plate and the rail further enhances the fan plate's support. In addition, the float ring design increases the buoyancy of the buoy, and the combination of anchor chain and sinker makes the buoy more firmly secured. These optimizations significantly improve the device's resistance to wind and waves and its durability, enabling long-term stable operation in harsh aquatic environments.
[0015] 3. The wind force adaptation adjustment device of this rope buoy has annularly distributed slide rails on the top of the buoy to guide and support the movement of the fan plate, ensuring that the fan plate remains stable during the adjustment process. This effectively prevents the fan plate from shifting or being damaged due to wind or other external forces, thus improving the reliability and durability of the device. Attached Figure Description

A sliding rod 8 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the sliding groove 7, with one end of the sliding rod 8 slidingly engaged with one end of the inner wall of the rotating disk 5. The forward and reverse motor 4 drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate, and the sliding rod 8 slides within the sliding groove 7 by utilizing the engagement of the arc-shaped limiting grooves 6 and the sliding rod 8, providing a power basis for the subsequent adjustment of the fan plate 9 and enhancing the flexibility and adjustability of the device.
[0023] Furthermore, a fan plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the slide rod 8. The fan plate 9 extends to one end of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 2. The fan plate 9 moves with the slide rod 8. By adjusting the unfolding angle of the fan plate 9, the wind area received by the device can be changed, thereby adapting to different wind environments and improving the stability and adaptability of the device.
[0024] Furthermore, the top of the float 1 is fixedly connected to six slide rails 10 that are distributed in a ring at equal intervals. The bottom output end of the fan plate 9 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the slide rail 10.

[0025] Furthermore, a float ring 11 is fitted onto the outer wall of the float 1. The float ring 11 increases the buoyancy of the float 1, keeps the device stable on the water surface, and at the same time plays a certain role in buffering, reducing the swaying caused by wind and waves, and improving the device's resistance to wind and waves.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the adjustment cover 3 is provided with a top cap 12, and six photovoltaic panels 13 are provided on the outer wall of one end of the top cap 12 in a ring and equidistant arrangement.

The top cap 12 plays a protective role for the adjustment cover 3, preventing rainwater and other substances from entering the device. At the same time, the ring arrangement of the photovoltaic panels 13 also ensures the aesthetics of the device.
[0027] Furthermore, the bottom of the float 1 is provided with three anchor chains 14 that are distributed in a ring at equal intervals. The anchor chains 14 fix the float 1 in a designated position to prevent the device from drifting due to wind or water flow, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the device and providing a reliable guarantee for subsequent measurement or monitoring work.
[0028] Furthermore, a sinker 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the anchor chain 14.

[0045] Working Principle: The device is initially supported by a float 1, with a fixed cylinder 2 and an adjusting cover 3 connected sequentially to the top of the float 1. Inside the adjusting cover 3, a forward / reverse motor 4 serves as the core power source, its bottom rotating shaft connected to a rotating disk 5. When the device starts working, the forward / reverse motor 4 activates, driving the rotating disk 5 to rotate. Six equidistant arc-shaped limiting grooves 6 on the top of the rotating disk 5 cooperate with six equidistant arc-shaped sliding grooves 7 on the top of the fixed cylinder 2, each containing a sliding rod 8. One end of the sliding rod 8 slides within the arc-shaped limiting groove 6 on the inner wall of the rotating disk 5. As the rotating disk 5 rotates, the sliding rod 8 performs a linear reciprocating motion within the sliding groove 7. A fan plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 8, extending to one end of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 2. Due to the linear reciprocating motion of the sliding rod 8, the fan plate 9 also moves accordingly. Meanwhile, six equally spaced, circular slide rails 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the float 1. The bottom output end of the fan plate 9 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the slide rails 10. This allows the fan plate 9 to move stably along the slide rails 10 during movement, further ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement. When the wind force changes, the forward and reverse motors 4 are activated according to a preset program or a signal from the sensor, driving the slide bar 8 and the fan plate 9 to move via the rotating disk 5. The movement of the fan plate 9 changes the force distribution on the buoy in the horizontal direction, thereby adjusting the buoy's attitude. For example, when the wind is strong, the movement of the fan plate 9 can cause the buoy to deflect horizontally, reducing the direct impact of the wind on the buoy and lowering the risk of it being capsized. Furthermore, a float ring 11 is fitted onto the outer wall of the float body 1, increasing buoyancy and improving the buoy's stability. The top of the adjusting cover 3 has a cap 12, with six equidistantly arranged photovoltaic panels 13 on one end of its outer wall, providing power to components such as the forward and reverse motors 4. The bottom of the float body 1 has three equidistantly arranged anchor chains 14, with sinkers 15 fixedly connected to their bottoms, securing the buoy in a designated position and preventing it from drifting with the wind and waves. Through the coordinated action of these components, the device can effectively adapt to different wind conditions, ensuring the buoy remains stable in various environments.
