Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of detection equipment technology, specifically a self-cleaning ultrasonic marine organism monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] The marine fisheries environmental monitoring device aims to comprehensively, in real time, and accurately monitor key parameters in the marine fisheries environment, providing a scientific basis for fisheries production, marine ecological protection, and resource management.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN112902998B, which discloses a marine ranch environmental monitoring device, including sensors distributed on a flexible cylinder. One end of the flexible cylinder is retracted by a retraction device, and the other end of the flexible cylinder is turned outward and connected to a float. The cylinder turned outward is the outer cylinder, and the cylinder located on the inner side is the inner cylinder. A sinker is provided between the inner and outer cylinders.
[0004] The aforementioned device draws seawater through pipes. However, marine organisms (such as oysters and barnacles) in the seawater can attach to the seabed gate and the seawater inlet pipes. Their reproductive capacity is very strong, and they can multiply rapidly in a short period of time, which may cause the pipes to become blocked. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning ultrasonic marine organism monitoring device, comprising a cover and a float, wherein the cover and the float are connected as a whole by bolts, a monitoring component is installed inside the cover, the monitoring component includes a mounting frame, the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cover, a controller and a battery are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting frame, a water suction pipe is fixedly inserted inside the cover, one end of the bottom of the water suction pipe penetrates the cover and extends towards the float, ultrasonic transducers are installed outside the water inlet at the bottom of the water suction pipe and at the bottom of the outer circumference of the float, and several ultrasonic transducers are electrically connected to the controller and the battery through wires.
[0007] It can self-clean the suction pipe and float, effectively preventing marine organisms from clogging the pipes and affecting equipment use, thus extending the lifespan of the device. The ultrasonic transducer can be directly welded to the outer surface of the equipment that needs to be protected against marine organisms, and connected to the ultrasonic transducer using wires. The continuous ultrasonic vibrations generated prevent marine organisms from adhering to the pipe wall and the outer wall of the float. The cleaning principle is: using the strong ultrasonic field to treat the fluid of marine organisms, causing a series of changes in their physical form and chemical properties, resulting in the dispersion, crushing, and death of marine organisms, thus preventing them from adhering and accumulating.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a water pump is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting bracket, a drain pipe is fixedly inserted inside the cover, and the outlet of the drain pipe is set downwards. The ends of the suction pipe and the drain pipe that are close to each other are respectively fixedly installed outside the inlet and outlet of the water pump. A sensor is installed outside the suction pipe and the drain pipe. The water pump and the two sensors are electrically connected to the controller and the battery through wires.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a number of equidistant stabilizing components are installed on the outside of the float. Each stabilizing component includes a hinge seat, which is fixedly connected to the top of the outer circumference of the float. A horizontally arranged stabilizing float plate is hinged inside the hinge seat. A limit pin is slidably inserted inside the hinge seat.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a rope is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the counterweight, and an anchor hook is provided at one end of the bottom of the rope.
[0015] This invention provides a self-cleaning ultrasonic marine organism monitoring device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] (1) This utility model can clean the water pipe and float by setting up an ultrasonic transducer, controller and storage battery, effectively avoiding the blockage of water pipe by marine organisms and affecting the use of equipment, which is conducive to improving the service life of the device. The ultrasonic transducer can be directly welded to the outer surface of the equipment that needs to be protected against marine organisms, and connected to the ultrasonic transducer by wires. The continuous oscillation of the ultrasonic waves generated by it makes it impossible for marine organisms to adhere to the pipe wall and the outer wall of the float. The cleaning principle is: using the strong ultrasonic field to treat the fluid of marine organisms, causing a series of changes in their physical form and chemical properties, resulting in the dispersion, crushing and death of marine organisms, so that they cannot adhere and accumulate.

When the device tilts, the end of the stabilizing float will enter the water, and the buoyancy will push the tilted part of the device upward, effectively preventing the device from tipping over.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment, a self-cleaning ultrasonic marine organism monitoring device includes a cover 1 and a float 2. The cover 1 and the float 2 are connected as a whole by bolts. A monitoring component 8 is installed inside the cover 1. The monitoring component 8 includes a mounting frame 801, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the cover 1. A controller 4 (preferably a HOLLiAS-MACS series IoT controller) and a battery 5 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting frame 801. A water suction pipe 803 is fixedly inserted inside the cover 1. One end of the water suction pipe 803 passes through the cover 1 and extends towards the float 2. Ultrasonic transducers 7 are installed on the outside of the water inlet at the bottom of the water suction pipe 803 and on the bottom of the outer circumference of the float 2. Several ultrasonic transducers 7 are electrically connected to the controller 4 and the battery 5 through wires.
[0025] The ultrasonic transducer 7 can be directly welded to the outer surface of the equipment that needs to protect against marine organisms, and connected to the ultrasonic transducer 7 by means of wires. The continuous oscillation of the ultrasonic waves generated by the transducer prevents marine organisms from adhering to the pipe wall and the outer wall of the float 2. The cleaning principle is: the strong ultrasonic field is used to treat the fluid of marine organisms, causing a series of changes in their physical form and chemical properties, resulting in the marine organisms being dispersed, crushed, and killed, thus preventing them from adhering and accumulating.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water pump 802 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting bracket 801. A drain pipe 804 is fixedly inserted into the inside of the cover 1, and the outlet of the drain pipe 804 is set downward. The ends of the suction pipe 803 and the drain pipe 804 are fixedly installed outside the inlet and outlet of the water pump 802, respectively. A sensor 805 (the two models are: HACHSL1000 portable pH sensor and Endress+Hauser COS41 electrochemical dissolved oxygen sensor) is installed outside the suction pipe 803 and the drain pipe 804. The water pump 802 and the two sensors 805 are electrically connected to the controller 4 and the battery 5 through wires.
[0027] The monitoring process is as follows: the water pump 802 is controlled to generate suction, and the seawater is drawn into the suction pipe 803. After passing through the water pump 802, it is discharged outward through the drain pipe 804. The sensor 805 installed on the outside of the suction pipe 803 and the drain pipe 804 can detect the pH value and oxygen content in the seawater.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, several equidistant stabilizing components 9 are installed on the outside of the float 2. Each stabilizing component 9 includes a hinge 901, which is fixedly connected to the top of the outer circumference of the float 2. A horizontally arranged stabilizing float plate 902 is hinged inside the hinge 901. A limit pin 903 is slidably inserted inside the hinge 901. Two limit holes 904 adapted to the limit pin 903 are opened inside the stabilizing float plate 902.
[0029] During transportation, the stabilizing float 902 is attached to the outer wall of the float 2, which does not take up too much space and is easy to store. Before placement, remove the limiting pin 903, then flip the stabilizing float 902 to expand it outward, and then pass the stabilizing float 902 through the hinge seat 901 and the corresponding limiting hole 904, thereby fixing the stabilizing float 902. When the device tilts, the end of the stabilizing float 902 will enter the water, and the buoyancy will push the tilted part of the device upward, effectively preventing the device from tipping over.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a vertically arranged counterweight 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom outer wall of the float 2. Under the action of gravity, the bottom counterweight 6 will generate a vertical downward pulling force on the float 2. When the device tilts, the device will quickly return to a horizontal state under the pull of the counterweight 6, which can further improve the stability of the device.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two symmetrically arranged solar panels 3 are fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the cover 1. The solar panels 3 are electrically connected to the battery 5 through wires, and both solar panels 3 are inclined to avoid some small impurities from staying on the top of the solar panels 3.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several mounting tubes are fixedly connected to the outside of the cover 1. External wires can enter the cover 1 through the mounting tubes, and the mounting tubes are all inclined downwards to prevent seawater from entering the buoy through the mounting tubes.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rope is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the counterweight 6, and an anchor hook is provided at one end of the rope.
[0034] This utility model provides a self-cleaning ultrasonic marine organism monitoring device, the specific working principle of which is as follows:
[0035] When the device is in operation, the cover 1 is fixed to the top of the float 2, so that the water pump 802, controller 4, battery 5 and sensor 805 are all in a closed space. During transportation, the stabilizing float 902 is attached to the outer wall of the float 2, which does not occupy too much space and is easy to store. Before placement, remove the limiting pin 903, then flip the stabilizing float 902 to expand it outward, and then pass the stabilizing float 902 through the hinge seat 901 and the corresponding limiting hole 904, thereby fixing the stabilizing float 902. When the device tilts, the end of the stabilizing float 902 will enter the water, and the buoyancy will push the tilted part of the device upward, effectively preventing the device from tipping over. The counterweight 6 at the bottom will generate a vertical downward pulling force on the float 2 under the action of gravity. When the device tilts, the device will quickly return to a horizontal state under the pull of the counterweight 6, which can further improve the stability of the device. The monitoring process is as follows: the water pump 802 generates suction, drawing seawater into the suction pipe 803. After passing through the water pump 802, the seawater is discharged through the drain pipe 804. Sensors 805 installed on the outside of the suction pipe 803 and the drain pipe 804 can detect the pH value and oxygen content in the seawater. The ultrasonic transducer 7 can be directly welded to the outer surface of the equipment to be protected against marine organisms and connected to it using wires. The continuous ultrasonic vibrations generated prevent marine organisms from adhering to the pipe wall and the outer wall of the float 2. The cleaning principle is: the strong ultrasonic field is used to treat the fluid of marine organisms, causing a series of changes in their physical form and chemical properties, resulting in the dispersion, crushing, and death of the marine organisms, thus preventing them from adhering and accumulating.
[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.
