[0002] Hydrological surveying refers to the work of collecting and analyzing hydrological characteristic data of water bodies through systematic technical means in order to understand their dynamic change patterns.

[0003] Hydrological surveying plays a systematic role in environmental protection, resource management, engineering construction, and disaster prevention and mitigation. Buoys are the core instruments in hydrological surveying, capable of real-time monitoring and transmission of hydrological information such as ocean wave parameters (e.g., wave height, period, and direction), current velocity, water temperature, and salinity, as well as meteorological data such as wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, air pressure, and humidity. However, when using existing buoys, they float on the water surface for extended periods, making their surfaces susceptible to impacts from external objects. This can not only damage the buoys but also cause them to tip over, damaging the surveying instruments on them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a buoy for hydrological surveying, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when a buoy is used, it floats on the water surface for a long time, and its surface is easily hit by external objects, which not only damages the buoy, but may also cause the buoy to tip over, thus damaging the surveying instruments on it.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a buoy for hydrological surveying, comprising:

[0006] The platform includes a buoy platform, and a surveying instrument is installed on the surface of the buoy platform;

[0007] The anti-collision mechanism includes an inflatable bladder-type sealing ring, which acts on the surface of the buoy platform. A mounting block is fixedly connected to the surface of the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring. A connecting rod is movably connected to the surface of the mounting block. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod. A deformation buckle is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting block is connected by surface mating with the mounting slot and the connecting block, the connecting plate is connected by internal abutment with the mounting block and the mounting slot, one end of the connecting block is inclined, and one end of the mounting slot is inclined.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting plate is movably connected to the surface of the mounting slot and the mounting block, and the connecting rod is movably connected to the surface of the connecting plate and the mounting block.

[0011] Preferably, the deformation buckles are evenly distributed in four groups on the surface of the connecting rod, and the deformation buckles are connected by surface engagement between the connecting rod and the slot.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a fixing block, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the buoy platform. An adjustment knob is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing block. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment knob. A fixing shaft is fixedly connected inside the fixing block. A worm wheel is meshed with the surface of the worm gear. A limit buckle is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm wheel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] By connecting the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring and the mounting block, and connecting the buoy platform and the connecting block, the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring can be installed on the surface of the buoy platform. The mounting block is then installed on the surface of the connecting block. The mounting block is then connected to the mounting slot, and the connecting plate is connected to the mounting slot. The mounting block is installed into the mounting slot, causing the connecting plate to act inside the mounting slot and move due to the abutment of the mounting slot. The connecting plate is connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the deformation buckle, allowing the connecting rod and the deformation buckle to move with the connecting plate. Finally, the deformation buckle is connected to the slot, allowing the deformation buckle to deform and engage inside the slot, thus fixing the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring to the surface of the buoy platform.

Then, by connecting the limit buckle to the mounting block, the limit buckle can be installed inside the mounting block. By connecting the adjusting knob to the worm gear, the worm gear can rotate with the rotation of the adjusting knob. By connecting the worm gear to the worm wheel, and the fixed shaft to the worm wheel, the worm wheel can rotate with the rotation of the worm gear. Finally, by connecting the worm wheel to the limit buckle, and the limit buckle to the mounting block, the limit buckle can press against the inside of the mounting block as the worm wheel rotates, thereby fixing the surveying instrument on the surface of the buoy platform, achieving the effect of facilitating the installation of the surveying instrument.

[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 see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0026] A hydrological survey buoy includes:

[0027] The platform includes a buoy platform 1, and a surveying instrument 11 is installed on the surface of the buoy platform 1. Both the buoy platform 1 and the surveying instrument 11 are existing products and are not considered as technical protection points of this application. They will not be described in detail here.

[0028] The anti-collision mechanism includes an inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2. The inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2 acts on the surface of the buoy platform 1 to prevent the buoy platform 1 from colliding, protect the buoy platform 1, and improve the floating stability of the buoy platform 1. An installation block 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2 for insertion into the surface of the connecting block 25. A connecting rod 22 is movably connected to the surface of the installation block 21 for connecting the connecting plate 23 and the deformation buckle 24. A connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 22 for abutting against the surface of the connecting block 25, thereby driving the connecting rod 22 and the deformation buckle 24 to move. A deformation buckle 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 22 away from the connecting plate 23 for engaging in the slot 27. A connecting block 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the buoy platform 1 for installing the installation block 21. An installation slot 26 is provided on the surface of the connecting block 25 for inserting the installation block 21. A slot 27 is provided on the surface of the installation slot 26 for engaging the deformation buckle 24.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting blocks 21 are symmetrically distributed in two groups on the surface of the inflatable bladder seal ring 2, and the connecting blocks 25 are symmetrically distributed in two groups on the surface of the buoy platform 1. The inflatable bladder seal ring 2 is fitted onto the surface of the buoy platform 1, so that the mounting blocks 21 are inserted into the mounting slots 26.

[0030] Furthermore, the mounting block 21 is connected to the mounting slot 26 and the connecting block 25 by surface mating, and the connecting plate 23 is connected to the mounting block 21 and the mounting slot 26 by internal abutment. One end of the connecting block 25 is inclined, and one end of the mounting slot 26 is inclined. Both the mounting block 21 and the mounting slot 26 are inclined at one end, so that when the mounting block 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 26, it will drive the connecting plate 23 to abut against the inclined part inside the mounting slot 26, thereby causing the connecting plate 23 to drive the connecting rod 22 and the deformation buckle 24 to move on the surface of the mounting block 21.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting plate 23 is movably connected to the surface of the mounting slot 26 and the mounting block 21, and the connecting rod 22 is movably connected to the surface of the connecting plate 23 and the mounting block 21. As the mounting block 21 is fully inserted, the connecting plate 23 moves towards the slot 27, so that the connecting rod 22 and the deformation buckle 24 move with the movement of the connecting plate 23.

[0032] Furthermore, the deformation buckles 24 are evenly distributed in four groups on the surface of the connecting rod 22. The deformation buckles 24 are connected by the surface engagement of the connecting rod 22 and the slot 27. The deformation buckles 24 are inserted into the slot 27 as the connecting plate 23 moves, thereby deforming and engaging in the slot 27, thus fixing the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2 to the surface of the buoy platform 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism includes a fixing block 3, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the buoy platform 1 for connecting the mounting block 36. An adjustment knob 31 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing block 3 for driving the worm gear 32 to rotate. The worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment knob 31 for driving the worm wheel 34 to rotate. A fixing shaft 33 is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 3 for connecting the worm wheel 34. The worm gear 32 is meshed with the worm wheel 34 for driving the limit buckle 35 to rotate. The limit buckle 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm wheel 34 for connecting the mounting block 36. The surface of the surveying instrument 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 36 for connecting the limit buckle 35.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting buckle 35 is connected to the surface of the surveying instrument 11 and the mounting block 36 by surface insertion, and the worm gear 32 is connected to the internal rotation of the fixing block 3 by adjusting the knob 31. The surveying instrument 11 is installed on the surface of the buoy platform 1, so that the mounting block 36 abuts against the surface of the fixing block 3, thereby allowing the limiting buckle 35 to be inserted into the interior of the mounting block 36. Then, rotating the adjusting knob 31 can drive the worm gear 32 to rotate.

[0035] Furthermore, the worm gear 34 is rotatably connected to the surface of the worm 32 and the fixed shaft 33, and the limiting buckle 35 is abutted to the inside of the mounting block 36 through the worm gear 34. The worm gear 34 rotates with the rotation of the worm 32, thereby driving the limiting buckle 35 to rotate inside the mounting block 36, thus abutting against the inside of the mounting block 36. The worm 32 and the worm gear 34 are self-locking structures and will not rotate without external force, thereby fixing the surveying instrument 11 to the surface of the buoy platform 1.

[0036] Working principle: When using the buoy platform 1, firstly, the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2 is placed on the surface of the buoy platform 1, so that the mounting block 21 is inserted into the mounting slot 26. As the mounting block 21 is fully inserted, the connecting plate 23 moves towards the slot 27, so that the deformation buckle 24 follows the movement of the connecting plate 23 and is inserted into the slot 27, thus deforming and engaging in the slot 27, thereby fixing the inflatable bladder-type sealing ring 2 to the surface of the buoy platform 1. Then, the surveying instrument 11 is installed on the surface of the buoy platform 1, so that the mounting block 36 abuts against the surface of the fixing block 3, thereby allowing the limiting buckle 35 to be inserted into the interior of the mounting block 36. Then, rotating the adjusting knob 31 drives the worm gear 32 to rotate, and the worm wheel 34 rotates with the rotation of the worm gear 32, thereby driving the limiting buckle 35 to rotate inside the mounting block 36, so that the limiting buckle 35 abuts against the interior of the mounting block 36, thereby fixing the surveying instrument 11 to the surface of the buoy platform 1.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
