Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water quality monitoring vessels, specifically an unmanned water quality monitoring vessel device. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, water pollution has become increasingly serious, posing a major threat to the ecological environment, human health, and socio-economic development. In order to protect water resources and achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to monitor water quality in a timely and accurate manner, which leads to the use of unmanned vessels for water quality testing.

[0003] Currently, unmanned water quality monitoring vessels consist of a main hull, a power system, a navigation module, and sensors. When monitoring water quality, sensors are inserted into the water source area to detect the water, quickly acquiring water quality parameters and transmitting the data to terminal equipment. This allows personnel to understand the water quality of the area. However, when the sensors of the unmanned vessel are inserted into the water, they only support real-time detection and cannot store the collected water samples, which is inconvenient for subsequent analysis. Furthermore, since there may be a large number of suspended solids or large particulate impurities in the water, these substances can easily adhere to the sensor surface or interfere with the sensor's operation, thus easily leading to inaccurate detection results.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an unmanned water quality monitoring vessel device, including...

[0025] The monitoring unit 100 includes an unmanned surface vessel 110, a microcontroller 120 disposed on one side of the top of the unmanned surface vessel 110, a connecting cylinder 130 disposed on one side of the unmanned surface vessel 110, a connecting pipe 140 connected to the top of the connecting cylinder 130, a sensing component 150 disposed inside the connecting cylinder 130 for sensing and monitoring water quality, an interception net 160 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 130 for intercepting debris in the water, a scraper 180 disposed at the bottom of the interception net 160 for scraping debris, and a motor 170 disposed inside the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 130 for providing power to the scraper 180.

[0026] The sample storage unit 200 includes a transfer pump 210, a sample storage box 230 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the unmanned vessel 110 for storing water samples, and there are four sample storage boxes 230, a water supply pipe 220 connected to the water outlet of the transfer pump 210, a water inlet pipe 240 connected to the top of each sample storage box 230, and a solenoid valve 250 disposed on the surface of the water inlet pipe 240 for controlling the unobstructed state of the water inlet pipe 240.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the unmanned boat 110 can move the sensing component 150 to the target water monitoring point. The water will pass through the interception net 160 and enter the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 130. At the same time, the motor 170 will drive the scraper 180 to rotate, so that the scraper 180 can clean the debris on the interception net 160. This can prevent the sensing component 150 from being affected by debris during subsequent monitoring. The sensing component 150 can monitor the pH value, conductivity and dissolved oxygen concentration of the water in real time. The monitored data can be transmitted to external terminal equipment through the microcontroller 120, which is an ESP32 series single-chip microcontroller. The water sample can be extracted from the water body and transmitted to the water pipe 220 by starting the transfer pump 210. By selectively opening a solenoid valve 250 as needed, the water sample is injected into the corresponding sample storage box 230 to realize the storage of the water sample, which facilitates further laboratory analysis later.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the transfer pump 210 is located in the inner cavity of the unmanned vessel 110 and is used to provide power for water sample extraction. The water inlet of the transfer pump 210 is connected to the connecting pipe 140, and the water delivery pipe 220 is connected to the water inlet pipe 240.

[0031] Each sample storage box 230 has a liquid level gauge 260 on the back of its inner cavity, and the output end of the liquid level gauge 260 is connected to the input end of the microcontroller 120. Each sample storage box 230 has a drain pipe 270 on its front, and a manual valve is provided on the surface of the drain pipe 270.

[0032] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the MaxBotix MB7066 ultrasonic sensor of the level gauge 260 is installed in the inner cavity of each sample storage box 230 to monitor the liquid level in each sample storage box 230. When the liquid level reaches the set value, the level gauge 260 sends a signal to the microcontroller 120, which closes the corresponding solenoid valve 250, and the drain pipe 270 is used to drain the water sample in the sample storage box 230.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0035] In this embodiment, a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the motor 170, and one end of the support plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 130. The output shaft of the motor 170 is connected to the scraper 180 for transmission.

[0036] The sensing component 150 includes a pH sensor 151, a conductivity sensor 152, and a dissolved oxygen sensor 153, and the pH sensor 151, conductivity sensor 152, and dissolved oxygen sensor 153 are all disposed on the inner wall of the connecting cylinder 130. The output terminals of the pH sensor 151, conductivity sensor 152, and dissolved oxygen sensor 153 are all connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller 120.

[0037] The microcontroller 120 is connected to an external terminal device via a communication module. The input terminal of the transfer pump 210 is connected to the output terminal of the microcontroller 120, and the output terminal of the microcontroller 120 is connected to the input terminal of the solenoid valve 250.

[0038] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the support plate provides stable support for the motor 170, ensuring its operational stability. The motor 170 is a WEG W22 series model, which has good waterproof properties and can be submerged in water for extended periods, thus improving operational safety. The microcontroller 120 connects to external terminal devices via a communication module, facilitating the transmission of monitoring data for easy viewing. The communication module supports 4G / 5G or LoRa communication protocols. The pH sensor 151 is an Eutech pH 11 model, which measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. The conductivity sensor 152 is an ATLAS SCIENTIFIC EZO circuit board model, which measures the ion concentration in the water. The dissolved oxygen sensor 153 is an ATLAS SCIENTIFIC DO EZO circuit board model, which measures the dissolved oxygen content in the water. The monitored data can be transmitted to the microcontroller 120.

[0039] In use, the unmanned surface vessel 110 is first placed in the target water area. The autonomous navigation system within the 110 allows it to move to the monitoring point. Water then passes through the interception net 160 and enters the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 130. The motor 170 drives the scraper 180 to rotate, clearing debris from the interception net 160. This prevents debris from adhering to the sensing component 150 and affecting monitoring quality later. Simultaneously, the water passes through the sensing component 150, where the pH sensor 151, conductivity sensor 152, and dissolved oxygen sensor 153 monitor the pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen concentration in real time. The monitored data is transmitted to the microcontroller 120. The microcontroller 120 can transmit data to an external terminal device via a communication module for easy viewing. Then, the microcontroller 120 controls the transfer pump 210 to start, which extracts the water sample from the water body and transfers it to the water pipe 220. Next, the microcontroller 120 selectively opens a solenoid valve 250, and the water sample enters the sample storage box 230 through the inlet pipe 240. The level gauge 260 monitors the liquid level in the sample storage box 230. When the set value is reached, the solenoid valve 250 is closed, thus completing the water quality monitoring operation. After the monitoring is completed, the unmanned boat 110 is retrieved, and personnel can manually open the manual valve on the drain pipe 270 to drain the water sample from the sample storage box 230, which facilitates further laboratory analysis of the water sample.
