Description

Deep-sea drifting buoy Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of deep-sea buoy technology, specifically to deep-sea drifting buoys. Background Technology

[0002] Drifting buoys maintain their position in the ocean by utilizing the flow and pressure of seawater. They consist of a sheath containing liquid, gas, and seawater. As the seawater flows, the buoy moves with it; as the seawater pressure changes, the buoy's position also changes accordingly. Simultaneously, its position is obtained via satellite or acoustic methods, and the ocean current is derived from the buoy's drift trajectory using the Lagrange method.

[0003] Drifting buoys require compatible electronic components to function properly. Currently, these electronic components are typically fixed directly to the buoy using bolts or other fasteners. While this method improves the stability of the components, the complex marine environment and the buoy's tendency to vibrate violently due to waves make direct bolt installation ineffective at cushioning these vibrations, potentially damaging the electronic components. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a deep-sea drifting buoy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a deep-sea drifting buoy, comprising a middle seat, a top cover, and a bottom cover, wherein the top cover is sealed and installed on the top surface of the middle seat, and the bottom cover is sealed and installed on the bottom surface of the middle seat;

[0006] The bottom cover is a hollow structure, and a damping device is installed inside it;

[0007] The intermediate seat, together with the top cover, forms a sealed space, and electronic components are installed in the sealed space by bolts.

[0008] A first elastic pad and a second elastic pad are provided through the shank of the bolt, and the second elastic pad and the first elastic pad are respectively sandwiched on the upper and lower sides of the electronic component.

[0009] The first elastic pad and the second elastic pad each have a first groove at their upper and lower ends, and the first groove is arranged in a ring around the outside of the rod.

[0010] Preferably, an annular washer is provided between the head of the bolt and the top of the second elastic pad, the diameter of the annular washer being larger than the diameter of the second elastic pad; a second annular protrusion is fixed on the lower surface of the annular washer, the second annular protrusion being inserted into the first groove located on the top of the second elastic pad in an interference fit manner.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the intermediate seat is fixed with a first annular protrusion, which is inserted into the first groove located at the bottom of the first elastic pad in an interference fit manner.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of photovoltaic panels are fixedly installed on the top of the intermediate seat, and the plurality of photovoltaic panels are evenly arranged in a ring around the top cover.

[0013] Preferably, a hook is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bottom cover.

[0014] Preferably, the damping device includes a damping block and a connector, the top end of the connector is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the bottom cover, the bottom end of the connector is fixedly connected to the damping block, and the damping block does not contact the inner bottom surface of the bottom cover.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom end of the top cover is fixedly connected to a mounting flange, the mounting flange is mounted on the intermediate seat by fasteners, and a sealing ring is provided between the mounting flange and the intermediate seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention allows the bottom surface of the entire electronic component to be supported by multiple discretely arranged first elastic pads, and the top surface and multiple heads are also padded with second elastic pads.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] The deep-sea drifting buoy includes a middle seat 1, a top cover 2, and a bottom cover 4. The middle seat 1 is a circular structure, and the middle seat 1, top cover 2, and bottom cover 4 are all made of corrosion-resistant materials.

[0027] The top cover 2 is sealed and installed on the top surface of the intermediate seat 1. Specifically, the bottom end of the top cover 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting flange 201. In some embodiments, the top cover 2 and the mounting flange 201 can be made of the same material, and the top cover 2 and the mounting flange 201 can be integrally formed. The mounting flange 201 is installed on the intermediate seat 1 by fasteners (the fasteners are not specifically limited here, such as corrosion-resistant bolts, etc.). A sealing ring 8 is provided between the mounting flange 201 and the intermediate seat 1. The sealing ring 8 is made of corrosion-resistant rubber material.

[0028] Several photovoltaic panels 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the intermediate seat 1, and the photovoltaic panels 3 are evenly arranged in a ring around the top cover 2. The photovoltaic panels 3 can convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery module (not shown in the figure) set on the buoy, and then provides power for the entire buoy's function.

[0029] The bottom cover 4 is sealed and installed on the bottom surface of the intermediate seat 1. Specifically, in some embodiments, the bottom cover 4 and the intermediate seat 1 can also be sealed by setting a sealing ring, which is not specifically limited here.

[0030] The bottom end of the bottom cover 4 is fixedly connected with a hook 401.

[0031] The bottom cover 4 is a hollow structure with a damping device inside. This device enhances the buoy's resistance to wind and waves, buffering the amplitude of oscillations caused by waves and allowing for rapid righting after capsizing. Specifically, the damping device includes a damping block 6 and a connecting piece 7. The damping block 6 can be a sphere with a certain weight, and the connecting piece 7 can be a thin rope, chain, etc. The top end of the connecting piece 7 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the bottom cover 4, and the bottom end of the connecting piece 7 is fixedly connected to the damping block 6, without contact between the damping block 6 and the inner bottom surface of the bottom cover 4. When the buoy tilts due to waves, the damping block 6 and the connecting piece 7 can buffer the tilt amplitude, reducing it. When the buoy is capsized by waves, the presence of the damping block 6 keeps the buoy's center at the bottom, allowing it to quickly right itself.

[0032] The intermediate seat 1 and the top cover 2 form a sealed space, and the electronic component 5 is installed in the sealed space by bolts 9. Specifically, the bolt 9 includes a head 901 and a rod 902. As shown in Figure 5, a first elastic pad 10 and a second elastic pad 11 are provided through the rod 902 of the bolt 9, and the second elastic pad 11 and the first elastic pad 10 are respectively sandwiched on the upper and lower sides of the electronic component 5. The first elastic pad 10 is placed between the intermediate seat 1 and the electronic component 5, and the second elastic pad 11 is placed between the electronic component 5 and the head 901. This arrangement allows the bottom surface of the entire electronic component 5 to be supported by multiple discretely arranged first elastic pads 10, and the top surface is also placed between multiple heads 901. This achieves flexible contact between the electronic component 5 and the buoy, improving the shock resistance of the electronic component 5, and also leaves a gap between the electronic component 5 and the intermediate seat 1 to facilitate heat dissipation of the electronic component 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the first elastic pad 10 and the upper and lower ends of the second elastic pad 11 are provided with first grooves 1001. The first grooves 1001 are arranged in a ring around the outside of the rod 902. As can be seen from the figure, the diameter of the first groove 1001 is larger than the diameter of the rod 902. Therefore, when the electronic component 5 is installed and fixed by the bolts 9, it can not only buffer the vibration of the electronic component 5 in the vertical direction, but also buffer the vibration of the electronic component 5 in the horizontal direction, and the buffering effect is better.

[0034] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, an annular washer 12 is provided between the head 901 of the bolt 9 and the top of the second elastic pad 11. The diameter of the annular washer 12 is larger than the diameter of the second elastic pad 11, so that the compressive force generated when tightening the bolt 9 can be applied evenly and comprehensively to the first elastic pad 10 and the second elastic pad 11.

[0035] Furthermore, a second annular protrusion 1201 is fixed to the lower surface of the annular gasket 12, and the second annular protrusion 1201 is inserted into the first groove 1001 located at the top of the second elastic pad 11 in an interference fit manner. A first annular protrusion 101 is fixed to the top of the intermediate seat 1, and the first annular protrusion 101 is inserted into the first groove 1001 located at the bottom of the first elastic pad 10 in an interference fit manner. The aforementioned first annular protrusion 101 and second annular protrusion 1201 are used to fix the position of the first elastic pad 10 and the second elastic pad 11, ensuring that each position of the first elastic pad 10 and the second elastic pad 11 is subjected to uniform force, thus ensuring their vibration damping performance.

[0036] 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.
