Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of controller technology, and in particular to a multifunctional buoy controller. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous fields such as marine monitoring, aquaculture, environmental monitoring, and water sports, buoy controllers are widely used as important aquatic equipment for data acquisition, transmission, and equipment control. These controllers are typically equipped with displays to show real-time monitoring data, system status, and user interfaces, providing users with an intuitive and convenient way to interact with information. However, in practical applications, buoy controllers are often exposed to complex and changing aquatic environments, facing challenges such as wind, sun, rain, and potential physical collisions.

[0003] In existing buoy controllers, the display screen is typically exposed without effective shielding or protection. This makes the screen highly susceptible to environmental corrosion and damage during use. For example, prolonged exposure to sunlight can accelerate aging, while rain, waves, or even accidental collisions can cause breakage. Damage to the display screen not only affects the normal operation of the buoy controller, reducing the accuracy and efficiency of data reading, but may also create safety hazards such as electrical leakage and short circuits, threatening both the equipment itself and the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional buoy controller that utilizes a transparent protective plate to provide efficient shielding and protection for the display screen, effectively resisting external environmental erosion and physical impacts, thus preventing damage to the display screen. Simultaneously, the design of the protective components makes the installation and removal of the transparent protective plate extremely convenient; installation can be completed simply by snapping and pressing, and disassembly is as simple as pulling the sliding lever on the control panel to release it from the snap, greatly simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, this design significantly improves the durability and safety of the buoy controller, reduces maintenance and replacement costs, avoids potential safety hazards caused by display screen damage, and provides users with a more reliable and convenient user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include:

[0006] A multi-functional buoy controller, comprising:

[0009] In the aforementioned multi-functional buoy controller, a positioning block for fixing one end of the transparent protective plate is fixedly connected to the first mounting base, and a snap-fit ​​component for fixing the other end of the transparent protective plate is installed on the second mounting base.

[0010] In the aforementioned multi-functional buoy controller, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a fixed base fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base, and a sliding latch for fixing the transparent protective plate is slidably connected to the fixed base.

[0011] In the aforementioned multi-functional buoy controller, an operating plate is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding lever, a connecting spring is fixedly connected to the side of the operating plate, and the other end of the connecting spring is fixedly connected to the side of the fixed base.

[0012] The aforementioned multi-functional buoy controller has a terminal block at the bottom of the controller body, and a dust plug is fitted onto the terminal block.

[0013] The aforementioned multi-functional buoy controller has a lifting handle fixedly connected to the side of the controller body.

The mounting ears 103 provide a variety of installation methods, so that the controller can be stably installed in the required position to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By installing a protective component 3 on the controller body 1, a transparent protective plate 3012 provides comprehensive shielding protection for the display screen 2. During installation, the user only needs to snap one end of the transparent protective plate 3012 onto the positioning block 302 on the mounting base 1 301, and then press the other end into the mounting base 2 3011. Under the elastic force of the connecting spring 3034, the sliding lever 3032 will automatically snap into the other end of the transparent protective plate 3012, achieving convenient installation. When it is necessary to remove the transparent protective plate 3012, the user only needs to pull the sliding lever 3032 through the operating plate 3033 to disengage it from the snap-fit ​​on one end of the transparent protective plate 3012, and the transparent protective plate 3012 can be easily removed. This design not only effectively protects the display screen 2, but also greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process, improving the convenience and efficiency of use.
