[0002] Aquatic environmental monitoring buoys are devices used to monitor aquatic environmental parameters in real time, such as those found in oceans or lakes. They are typically designed to float on the water surface and are equipped with various sensors to measure multiple parameters, including water quality, meteorological, and hydrological parameters. However, some existing buoys lack flexible depth adjustment capabilities, making them unable to adapt to monitoring needs at different water depths, thus limiting the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the monitoring data. Furthermore, some buoys have insufficient protective measures, making their detection components susceptible to the effects of impurities and plankton in the water, shortening their lifespan or affecting data accuracy. Additionally, there is room for improvement in areas such as energy supply stability and structural stability, making it difficult to meet the needs of long-term, efficient, and stable aquatic environmental monitoring.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a water surface environment monitoring buoy includes: a float base 1, a housing 101 mounted on the top of the float base 1, a detection probe 102 disposed at the bottom of the float base 1, and an adjustment component disposed on the top of the detection probe 102 for adjusting the working depth of the detection probe 102. The adjustment component includes: a vertical rod 2, a motor 201, a lead screw 202, an adjustment block 203, and an adjustment rod 204.

[0020] The detection probe 102 is a common water surface environment monitoring component in the prior art and has been widely used in various water body monitoring scenarios in the industry. The innovation of this application does not lie in improving the structure, material or working principle of the detection probe 102 itself, but mainly in the structural layout of the entire water surface environment monitoring buoy and the design of the depth adjustment of the detection probe 102. Therefore, this application does not provide a detailed description of the working principle of the detection probe 102.

[0021] The outer casing 101 has a vertical rod 2 installed on its top, and a motor 201 is installed inside the vertical rod 2. The bottom of the motor 201 is connected to a lead screw 202, and an adjustment block 203 is set on the outside of the lead screw 202. An adjustment rod 204 is set on the top of the detection probe 102. The vertical rod 2 on the top of the outer casing 101 is an important support structure, providing installation space for the motor 201 and ensuring its stable operation. It also provides an installation foundation for the photovoltaic panel 6. The motor 201 inside the vertical rod 2 is the power source for adjusting the depth of the detection probe 102. The lead screw 202 connected to the bottom of the motor 201 can convert the rotational motion of the motor into the lifting motion of the adjustment block 203, which is the core component of motion conversion. The adjustment block 203 on the outside of the lead screw 202 can convert the rotational motion of the lead screw into its own lifting motion, thereby driving the movement of related components and playing the role of motion transmission. The adjustment rod 204 on the top of the detection probe 102 connects the lifting block 302 and the detection probe 102, and can transmit the movement of the lifting block 302 to the detection probe 102 to realize the lifting of the detection probe, thereby adjusting the detection depth.

[0022] The adjusting block 203 has an adjusting hole 3 at its top that matches the lead screw 202. Lifting rods 301 are connected to both sides of the bottom of the adjusting block 203. A lifting block 302 is installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 301, and the bottom of the lifting block 302 is connected to the adjusting rod 204. A filter shell 303 is installed on the outside of the detection probe 102, and the top of the filter shell 303 is connected to the adjusting rod 204. The adjusting hole 3, through threaded matching, allows the adjusting block 203 to rise and fall with the lead screw 202. The lifting rod 301 transmits the movement of the adjusting block 203, and the two sides ensure stability. The lifting block 302 transmits the movement to the adjusting rod 204 and enhances connection stability. The filter shell 303 blocks impurities to protect the probe and rises and falls with the probe.

[0023] The vertical rod 2 has a cylindrical lifting hole 4 at its bottom. Inside the lifting hole 4, there are fixing blocks a401 and b402. The fixing block b402 is located directly below the fixing block a401. The top of the fixing block b402 has two openings 403. The lifting hole 4 provides space for the lifting of related components. The fixing block b402 is used to guide and limit the lifting rod 301 to ensure stable lifting. The openings 403 provide a moving channel for the lifting rod 301 to avoid jamming. The fixing block a401 is used to install the motor 201 inside the lifting hole 4.

[0024] The outer casing 101 has two cavities 5, each housing a battery 501, a wireless module 502, and a control panel 503. The cavities 5 provide installation and protection space for electronic components. The battery 501 stores and supplies power. The wireless module 502 transmits processed monitoring data to a remote monitoring terminal. The control panel 503 processes, analyzes, and stores the data detected by the detection probe 102. The detection probe 102 is electrically connected to both the battery 501 and the control panel 503 via cables. Both the wireless module 502 and the control panel 503 are existing structures. This application does not improve the internal circuit structure, signal processing mechanism, or communication protocol of the wireless module 502. It only plays a conventional data transmission role in the surface environment monitoring buoy, therefore, there is no need to elaborate on its working principle. Similarly, this application does not improve the internal structure, processing algorithm, or program logic of the control panel 503. It only plays a conventional data processing role in the buoy, therefore, there is no need to elaborate on its working principle.

[0025] Two photovoltaic panels 6 are installed on both sides of the outer end of the vertical pole 2. Three fixing plates 601 are installed between the inner side of the photovoltaic panel 6 and the vertical pole 2. The photovoltaic panel 6 converts solar energy into electrical energy and is electrically connected to the battery 501, so the converted electrical energy can be stored. The fixing plates 601 are used to fix the photovoltaic panel 6 to prevent it from shaking or falling off.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] When using this device, the float 1 serves as the core floating carrier, floating stably on the water surface by its own buoyancy, providing a solid support foundation for the entire device. The outer shell 101 installed on the top of the float 1 forms a closed space, which protects the internal electronic components from dust, water, and external impact. The detection probe 102 at the bottom of the float 1 is a key component that directly contacts the water body and collects environmental data, and can monitor indicators such as water temperature and water quality in real time.

[0028] To adapt to monitoring needs at different water depths, motor 201 can be started, and its output shaft drives the lead screw 202 to rotate. Since the adjustment hole 3 at the top of the adjustment block 203 is connected to the lead screw 202 by a matching thread, the rotational motion of the lead screw 202 is converted into the lifting and lowering motion of the adjustment block 203 along the axial direction of the lead screw 202. The lifting rods 301 connected to both sides of the bottom of the adjustment block 203 rise and fall synchronously, thereby driving the lifting block 302 installed at the bottom of the lifting rod 301 to move up and down. The bottom of the lifting block 302 is connected to the adjusting rod 204, which allows the adjusting rod 204 to drive the detection probe 102 to move smoothly within the cylindrical lifting hole 4 at the bottom of the vertical rod 2, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the detection depth of the detection probe 102. During this process, the fixing blocks a401 and b402 installed inside the lifting hole 4 guide and limit the lifting rod 301, ensuring the stability of the lifting process. In addition, the filter shell 303 installed on the outside of the detection probe 102 can effectively block impurities, plankton, etc. in the water from entering the probe, preventing the probe from being blocked or contaminated, and ensuring the accuracy of the detection data.

[0029] The photovoltaic panel 6 converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery 501. The battery 501 provides continuous and stable power support for all electrical components, including the motor 201, the detection probe 102, the wireless module 502, and the control panel. The raw environmental data collected by the detection probe 102 is transmitted to the control panel inside the cavity 5 of the outer shell 101 via a cable. After the control panel processes, analyzes, and stores the data, it sends the processed monitoring data to the remote monitoring terminal in the form of a wireless signal via the wireless module 502. Staff can obtain various indicators of the water surface environment in real time, enabling dynamic management and timely response of the monitoring area.
