They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 The diagram illustrates a dredging pipeline floating device with a warning light, comprising an upper float 1, a lower float 2, and a warning light assembly 5, which are connected and locked together via a connecting hole 3. Specifically, the design of the connecting hole 3 allows for the use of suitable connectors (such as bolts, pins, etc.) to pass through the upper float 1 and lower float 2 during assembly, forming a stable connection structure. This ensures the entire floating device can float stably in the dredging operation area, resisting the impact of water flow and waves.
[0029] The upper float 1 is provided with mounting holes 4, the main function of which is to provide a mounting position for the warning light assembly 5. The lower part of the warning light assembly 5 is firmly set in the mounting hole 4, while the upper part extends to the outer side of the upper end face of the upper float 1. This mounting method can ensure that the warning light assembly 5 is tightly connected to the upper float 1, and also allow the light-emitting part of the warning light assembly 5 to be exposed to the external environment as much as possible, so as to achieve the maximum range of light propagation.
[0030] The warning light assembly 5 includes a transparent housing 501. The transparent housing 501 not only has excellent light transmission properties to ensure that the light emitted by the internal LED lights 503 can be emitted smoothly, but it is also made of glass fiber reinforced transparent resin composite material. This material has high strength and corrosion resistance, effectively resisting damage from acidic and alkaline substances in water and external impacts. The transparent housing 501 has a light chamber 502, within which multiple LED lights 503 are arranged in a circular array. This circular array arrangement allows the LED lights 503 to emit light simultaneously from multiple angles, forming a 360-degree warning light coverage without blind spots, greatly improving the warning effect. Even in dim light or in adverse weather conditions such as heavy fog, distant vessels can clearly identify the dredging area.
[0031] The lower part of the LED light 503 is equipped with a sealed compartment 504, which provides a reliable protective space for the internal electronic components. A pentagonal handle 509 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the sealed compartment 504. The unique shape of the pentagonal handle 509 not only facilitates gripping during the disassembly and installation of the warning light assembly 5, but also allows for threaded connection or separation between the sealed compartment 504 and the transparent cover 501 by rotating the pentagonal handle 509, making operation very convenient. In addition, the lower end of the sealed compartment 504 also features a charging port 510 using a USB-C interface. The USB-C interface offers advantages such as reversible insertion and high transmission speed, facilitating connection to various charging devices to charge the rechargeable battery 506.
[0032] The sealed chamber 504 houses a control circuit board 505 and a rechargeable battery 506. The LED light 503 is reliably fixed to the upper surface of the sealed chamber 504, ensuring it will not loosen under conditions such as water flow or agitation. Its pins are electrically connected to the control circuit board 505, which controls the LED light 503's on / off state, flashing frequency, and other operating states, and can be set with different warning modes according to actual needs. The outer ring of the control circuit board 505 is firmly connected to the inner wall of the sealed chamber 504 and electrically connected to the battery 506, thus forming a complete power supply and control circuit system.
[0033] The outer wall of the sealed chamber 504 and the inner wall of the transparent cover 501 are connected by threads. This connection method is not only convenient for installation and disassembly, but also has a sealing structure at the connection. Specifically, the bottom surface of the transparent cover 501 is provided with an annular sealing groove 512, and a sealing cover 507 is installed on the sealing groove 512. The upper surface of the sealing cover 507 is provided with an annular boss 508 that matches the sealing groove 512. When the sealing cover 507 is installed on the sealing groove 512, the annular boss 508 and the annular sealing groove 512 fit tightly together to form a good sealing effect, effectively preventing water from entering the interior of the sealed chamber 504 and protecting electronic components such as the control circuit board 505 and the rechargeable battery 506.
[0034] The lower outer ring of the transparent cover 501 is also connected to the mounting hole 4 by a threaded connection, which ensures a stable installation between the warning light assembly 5 and the upper float 1. Meanwhile, the upper part of the transparent cover 501 is equipped with a removable nut 511, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to the transparent cover 501. This further reinforces the connection between the warning light assembly 5 and the upper float 1, ensuring that it will not loosen during long-term use. The upper part of the transparent cover 501 is designed in a hemispherical shape, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also reduces the impact of water flow on the warning light assembly 5, improving the stability of the device in water.
[0035] The upper floating body 1 is provided with a mounting surface 6. After the warning light assembly 5 is installed in the mounting hole 4, the lower end face of the nut 511 is loosened and tightly abuts against the mounting surface 6. Through this surface contact, the external force on the warning light assembly 5 can be evenly distributed, further enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0036] Working principle
[0037] The rechargeable battery 506 provides power to the control circuit board 505 and the LED lights 503. The control circuit board 505 precisely controls the on / off state and flashing frequency of the LED lights 503 according to a preset program or external commands. Multiple layers of waterproof protection are formed through the threaded connection between the sealed chamber 504 and the transparent cover 501, and the sealing structure between the sealed cover 507 and the transparent cover 501, effectively ensuring the internal sealing of the warning light assembly 5. Even underwater at a certain depth or in harsh environments such as heavy rain, it prevents water from entering and damaging electronic components. When charging is required, a charging device is connected using the USB-C charging port 510. Its fast charging and reversible insertion characteristics allow for efficient charging of the battery 506. Operators can easily disassemble and install the sealed chamber 504 by rotating the pentagonal handle 509, facilitating the inspection and replacement of internal electronic components. Multiple LED lights 503 arranged in a circular array emit warning light from different angles, comprehensively covering the perimeter of the dredging area and significantly improving the warning effect.
