Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fish finder technology, and in particular to a fish finder that integrates water quality monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] There are two main types of fish finders: sonar fish finders and visual fish finders. A sonar fish finder consists of a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter floats on the water's surface and emits sonar signals underwater. Once the sonar signals detect fish, they are transmitted to the main unit, which then uses the feedback from the sonar signals to generate an image of the fish. A visual fish finder is equipped with an underwater camera, allowing users to directly observe the location, species, and quantity of fish through the images.

[0003] A patent document with publication number CN222531746U discloses a visual fish finder with water quality detection function. When the main body is placed in the water, the first actuator can drive the blades below to rotate through the internal motor. The blades in the first actuator are arranged vertically up and down, so that when the main body is submerged in the water, the blades will push the main body up and down in the water during the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. The second actuator is fixedly installed on both sides of the main body. When the internal motor of the several sequentially arranged second actuators drives the blades to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, the blades in the second actuator are arranged horizontally left and right, so that the second actuator can push the main body to move laterally. This allows the main body to move vertically and laterally to monitor the water. It also makes it easier for the main body to adjust the monitoring angle of the camera, improves the comprehensiveness of the underwater image monitoring process, and increases the detection efficiency of fish. Both the inlet and outlet are fixedly connected to filter screens to remove garbage and impurities from the water area, preventing them from entering the detection chamber and causing problems. When the main body is in the water area, water is introduced and discharged. Water guide pipes are fixedly connected to the sides of the inlet and outlet to guide the detection water inside the detection chamber. The water guide pipes are S-shaped, so when the water flow impacts the inlet and outlet, the impact is offset by the curved water guide pipes. This prevents the detection probe inside the detection chamber from being worn by the water flow and extends the service life of the detection probe.

[0004] Although the aforementioned visual fish finder with water quality detection function can solve the corresponding technical problems, when in use, aquatic plants, floating objects and other debris in the water will adhere to the surface of the filter screen and are difficult to remove, which will easily cause the filter screen to become clogged, making it difficult for water in the water to enter the detection chamber for detection, thus affecting the efficiency of water quality monitoring.

[0005] To address this, a fish finder integrating water quality monitoring functions is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fish finder that integrates water quality monitoring functions, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a fish finder integrating water quality monitoring functions, including a movable base 100, a monitoring mechanism 200 capable of monitoring water quality, a cleaning mechanism 300 for cleaning debris from the surface of the monitoring mechanism 200, a guide component 400 for guiding the cleaning mechanism 300, and a camera 500 capable of detecting fish in the water. The monitoring mechanism 200 is located on the top of the movable base 100, the cleaning mechanism 300 and the guide component 400 are both located on the monitoring mechanism 200, and the camera 500 is installed at the bottom of the movable base 100. The cleaning mechanism 300 includes a movable frame 310 movably disposed on the surface of the monitoring mechanism 200 and having an arc-shaped structure. Brushes 320 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the movable frame 310, and the inner wall of the brushes 320 is movably connected to the monitoring mechanism 200. The cleaning mechanism 300 also includes a driving component for driving the movable frame 310 and the brushes 320 to rotate about the center of the monitoring mechanism 200, and the driving component is located inside the monitoring mechanism 200.

[0028] It should be noted that the structure of the aforementioned movable base 100 is the same as that of the main body, the first driver, and the second driver in a visual fish finder with water quality detection function disclosed in the existing announcement number CN222531746U. It can realize longitudinal and lateral movement to monitor the interior of the water area, making it easier for the main body to drive the camera to adjust the monitoring angle, improving the comprehensiveness of the underwater image monitoring process, and increasing the detection efficiency of fish schools. It is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0029] The monitoring mechanism 200 includes a support 210 fixedly connected to the top of the movable base 100. A water quality monitoring sensor 220 is installed in the inner cavity of the support 210. A groove is opened on both sides of the surface of the support 210. A filter screen 230 is installed in the inner cavity of the groove. A set of guide channels 240 is opened between the support 210 and the inner cavity of the groove. There are at least two guide channels 240 arranged vertically in each set. The brush 320 is in contact with the surface of the filter screen 230. When the fish finder with integrated water quality monitoring function is placed in the water area, the water in the water area can flow into the inner cavity of the support 210 through the groove and the guide channel 240, and be monitored by the water quality monitoring sensor 220. The filter screen 230 can prevent debris in the water area (such as aquatic plants, floating objects, etc.) from entering the inner cavity of the support 210 and affecting the water quality monitoring sensor 220.

[0030] It should also be noted that the structure of the water quality monitoring sensor 220 is consistent with the detection probe in a visual fish finder with water quality detection function disclosed in the existing announcement number CN222531746U. It can monitor comprehensive indicators of water quality, such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity and pH value. It is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0031] The support 210 has an inspection port on its top, and a sealing cover 250 is installed on the top of the support 210 to seal the inspection port. The inspection port and the sealing cover 250 are used together to facilitate the subsequent removal of the sealing cover 250 to maintain or repair the water quality monitoring sensor 220 inside the support 210. The top of the sealing cover 250 has an integrally formed handle 251, which can be used to connect a towing rope to facilitate the subsequent retrieval of the fish finder with integrated water quality monitoring function from the water area.

[0032] The driving component includes a motor mount 330 located inside the support 210. The motor mount 330 is installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 250. A motor 340 is installed inside the motor mount 330. The output shaft of the motor 340 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 350 coaxially arranged with the support 210. The top of the connecting rod 350 extends through to the top of the movable frame 310 and is detachably connected by a nut. By starting the motor 340, the output shaft of the motor 340 can drive the connecting rod 350, the movable frame 310 and the brush 320 to rotate synchronously. This allows the brush 320 to sweep away the debris attached to the surface of the filter screen 230 to prevent the debris from clogging the filter screen 230. The detachable connection formed by the nut makes it convenient to remove the movable frame 310 and the brush 320 from the connecting rod 350 for replacement.

[0033] Among them, motor 340 is a stepper motor, which can realize the functions of stopping at any position and rotating in both directions.

[0034] The movable frame 310, handle 251 and sealing cover 250 are all provided with through holes for the connecting rod 350 to pass through. The inner wall of the through hole on the movable frame 310 contacts the connecting rod 350. The through holes on the handle 251 and sealing cover 250 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 350 through bearings. The bearings can support the connecting rod 350 to ensure the stability of the connecting rod 350 when it rotates.

[0035] The connecting rod 350 is fitted with a rubber pad 360. The top of the rubber pad 360 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable frame 310, and the bottom of the rubber pad 360 contacts the top of the handle 251. The rubber pad 360 can provide auxiliary support for the middle part of the movable frame 310, thereby improving the connection between the movable frame 310 and the connecting rod 350. It can also prevent the bottom of the movable frame 310 from directly contacting the top of the handle 251, so as to prevent wear on the surface of the handle 251 during rotation.

[0036] The guide assembly 400 includes a guide ring 410 fixedly connected to the surface of the support 210 and located above the filter screen 230. Two symmetrical connectors 420 are movably provided on the surface of the guide ring 410. The two connectors 420 are respectively located at both ends of the surface of the movable frame 310. When the movable frame 310 rotates, the guide assembly 400 can drive the connectors 420 to slide on the surface of the guide ring 410, thereby improving the stability of the impurity removal mechanism 300 when rotating and preventing the end of the impurity removal mechanism 300 from tilting up.

[0037] The connector 420 includes a guide sleeve 421 sleeved on the end of the surface of the movable frame 310. The guide sleeve 421 has a guide groove 422 adapted to the guide ring 410 on the side facing the support 210. The opening size of the guide groove 422 is smaller than the diameter size, which can effectively prevent the guide sleeve 421 from slipping off the surface of the guide ring 410.

[0038] The guide sleeve 421 has a U-shaped structure, and a side lug 423 is integrally formed on one side of the guide sleeve 421. A baffle 424 is hinged to the other side of the guide sleeve 421. The baffle 424 and the side lug 423 are connected by bolts and nuts to form a detachable connection so that the movable frame 310 can be disassembled later.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The fish finder with integrated water quality monitoring function is placed in the water area to be monitored. The movable base 100 allows the fish finder to move up, down, and horizontally within the water, enabling longitudinal and lateral movement for monitoring the water's interior. Water in the water flows through the filter holes, grooves, and guide channels 240 of the filter screen 230 into the inner cavity of the support 210, allowing the water quality sensor 220 to monitor the water quality. The motor 340 is started, and its output shaft drives the connecting rod 350, rubber pad 360, movable frame 310, brush 320, and connecting piece 420 to rotate, causing the brush... The brush 320 can swing horizontally back and forth on the surface of the filter screen 230 with the center of the monitoring mechanism 200 as the axis. This allows the brush 320 to sweep away the aquatic plants, floating objects and other debris attached to the surface of the filter screen 230, preventing the debris from clogging the filter screen 230 and affecting the water quality monitoring efficiency of the monitoring mechanism 200. The guide sleeve 421 drives the guide groove 422 to move synchronously, allowing the guide ring 410 to slide in the inner cavity of the guide groove 422. This improves the stability of the debris removal mechanism 300 when it rotates, ensuring that the debris removal mechanism 300 always fits against the surface of the monitoring mechanism 200, thereby helping to improve the debris removal effect of the brush 320.

[0040] All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model 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 this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
