Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring buoys, specifically a water ecological monitoring buoy. Background Technology
[0002] Aquatic ecological environment monitoring buoys are devices used to monitor the ecological environment of aquatic bodies. They are divided into fixed buoys and floating buoys. They are usually equipped with a variety of sensors and data acquisition systems to monitor water quality, water temperature, water level, oxygen content, pH value and other water indicators in real time. The collected data can be transmitted to a data center via wireless network or satellite communication for subsequent analysis and evaluation.
[0003] In the prior art, when monitoring aquatic ecosystems such as lakes, aquatic plants such as aquatic grasses and algae in the lakes are easily attached to the outside of the bottom filter screen of the detector, thus affecting the detector installed inside the filter screen from detecting water quality. It is necessary to manually clean the outside of the filter screen regularly. Based on this, this utility model proposes an aquatic ecosystem monitoring buoy. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water ecological monitoring buoy in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water ecological monitoring buoy, including a buoy body, and a solar panel mounted on the top of the buoy body via a mounting bracket. The outer wall of the buoy body is also connected by a shaft to a hollow buoy ball for providing buoyancy to the buoy body. A filter screen for protecting a data acquisition instrument is installed at the bottom of the buoy body. The data acquisition instrument is mounted on a partition between the buoy body and the filter screen and extends into the inner cavity of the filter screen. The data acquisition instrument is used to collect and detect water quality data. The buoy also includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the filter screen.
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a first cleaning unit and a second cleaning unit;
[0007] The first cleaning unit is used to clean the debris adhering to the outside of the filter screen;
[0008] The second cleaning unit is used to clean debris stuck in the pores of the filter screen.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the first cleaning unit includes a drive motor, a rotating rod, a first transmission rod, and a first cleaning rod;
[0010] The drive motor is installed on the top of the partition at the connection between the buoy body and the filter screen. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a rotating rod that penetrates the bottom plate of the filter screen through a rotating shaft and a coupling. The rotating rod is used to drive the first transmission rod fixed at the bottom to rotate. The first transmission rod is used to drive the first cleaning rod fixed at the end to clean the outside of the filter screen.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the second cleaning unit includes a fixed plate, a second transmission rod, an L-shaped cleaning rod, a guide rod, and a guide groove;
[0012] The fixed plate is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating rod. The fixed plate is used to drive the second transmission rod, which is fixedly connected at the eccentric position, to rotate circumferentially. An L-shaped cleaning rod for cleaning the gap of the filter screen is slidably sleeved at the end of the second transmission rod.
[0013] The bottom of the L-shaped cleaning rod is fixed with a guide rod extending into the inner cavity of the guide groove. The guide rod causes the L-shaped cleaning rod to reciprocate axially along the inner cavity of the guide groove in a circumferentially rotating state.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the guide groove has a circumferential sawtooth structure and is distributed at the top of the bottom plate of the filter screen with the center of the filter screen as the midpoint.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner cavity of the bottom crossbar of the L-shaped cleaning rod matches the outer wall of the second transmission rod, and the L-shaped cleaning rod and the first cleaning rod are both provided with brushes for cleaning the filter screen on the side near the filter screen.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer wall of the guide rod matches the inner cavity of the guide groove.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] By setting up a cleaning mechanism, when it is necessary to clean algae and other debris adhering to the outside of the filter screen, the first cleaning rod can be driven to rotate circumferentially along the outside of the filter screen by starting the drive motor, thereby cleaning the outside of the filter screen. At the same time, the L-shaped cleaning rod will also rotate circumferentially under the action of the drive motor under the action of the guide rod and guide groove, while the L-shaped cleaning rod will move axially to push out the debris adhering to the pores of the filter screen, further improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a water ecological monitoring buoy includes a buoy body 1, a solar panel 2 mounted on the top of the buoy body 1 via a mounting bracket, a hollow buoy 3 connected to the outer wall of the buoy body 1 via a shaft to provide buoyancy to the buoy body 1, a filter screen 4 for protecting a data acquisition instrument 5 mounted on the bottom of the buoy body 1, the data acquisition instrument 5 mounted on a partition between the buoy body 1 and the filter screen 4 and extending into the inner cavity of the filter screen 4, the data acquisition instrument 5 for collecting and detecting water quality data, and a cleaning mechanism 6 for cleaning the filter screen 4.
[0025] The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a first cleaning unit and a second cleaning unit;
[0026] The first cleaning unit is used to clean the debris adhering to the outside of the filter screen 4;
[0027] The second cleaning unit is used to clean the debris stuck in the pores of the filter screen 4;
[0028] The first cleaning unit includes a drive motor 601, a rotating rod 602, a first transmission rod 603, and a first cleaning rod 604;
[0029] The drive motor 601 is installed on the top of the partition at the connection between the buoy body 1 and the filter screen 4. The output end of the drive motor 601 is connected to a rotating rod 602 that penetrates the bottom plate of the filter screen 4 through a rotating shaft and a coupling. The rotating rod 602 is used to drive the first transmission rod 603 fixed at the bottom to rotate. The first transmission rod 603 is used to drive the first cleaning rod 604 fixed at the end to clean the outside of the filter screen 4.
[0030] The second cleaning unit includes a fixed plate 605, a second transmission rod 606, an L-shaped cleaning rod 607, a guide rod 608, and a guide groove 609;
[0031] The fixed plate 605 is fixed to the outer wall of the rotating rod 602. The fixed plate 605 is used to drive the second transmission rod 606, which is fixedly connected at the eccentric position, to rotate circumferentially. The end of the second transmission rod 606 is slidably sleeved with an L-shaped cleaning rod 607 for cleaning the gap of the filter screen 4.
[0032] The bottom of the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 is fixed with a guide rod 608 extending into the inner cavity of the guide groove 609. The guide rod 608 causes the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 in a circumferential rotation state to reciprocate axially along the inner cavity of the guide groove 609.
[0033] In this embodiment: With this structure, when it is necessary to clean algae and impurities adhering to the filter screen 4, the drive motor 601 installed on the partition plate between the buoy body 1 and the filter screen 4 is activated. The drive motor 601 drives the rotating rod 602 connected to the output end to rotate. The rotating rod 602 drives the fixed disk 605 fixed on the outer wall and the first transmission rod 603 fixed at the bottom to rotate circumferentially. The rotation of the first transmission rod 603 drives the first cleaning rod 604 at the end to rotate circumferentially synchronously, cleaning the algae and impurities adhering to the outside of the filter screen 4. Meanwhile, the rotation of the fixed disk 605 synchronously fixes the eccentric position of the outer wall. The second transmission rod 606 rotates circumferentially, causing the L-shaped cleaning rod 607, which is axially slidably sleeved at the end of the second transmission rod 606, to rotate as well. The rotating L-shaped cleaning rod 607 drives the bottom-fixed guide rod 608 to rotate circumferentially, causing the guide rod 608 to move along the inner cavity of the serrated guide groove 609. This allows the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 to reciprocate axially along the outer wall of the second transmission rod 606 during its circumferential movement, further cleaning algae adhering to the gaps in the filter screen 4. This further improves cleaning efficiency and quality. It should be noted that the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 can cover the previously uncleaned space left when moving along the inner cavity of the serrated guide groove 609 towards the filter screen 4, thus cleaning the area.
[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 The guide groove 609 has a circumferential sawtooth structure and is distributed at the top of the bottom plate of the filter screen 4 with the center of the filter screen 4 as the center point. The inner cavity of the bottom crossbar of the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 matches the outer wall of the second transmission rod 606. The L-shaped cleaning rod 607 and the first cleaning rod 604 are both provided with brushes for cleaning the filter screen 4 on the side near the filter screen 4. The outer wall of the guide rod 608 matches the inner cavity of the guide groove 609.
[0035] In this embodiment: With this structure, when the guide rod 608 moves circumferentially along the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 and the second transmission rod 606, the guide rod 608 will tilt along the inclined inner cavity of the guide groove 609 under the circumferential rotational force, so that the guide rod 608 is subjected to the reaction force from the inner cavity of the guide groove 609 and synchronously drives the L-shaped cleaning rod 607 to reciprocate axially.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
