[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1-2 The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a floating carbon emission monitoring device for reservoirs, characterized by comprising: a floating platform, specifically, the edge of which integrates a GPS positioning module and multiple ultrasonic obstacle avoidance sensors 15 to achieve autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance on the water surface; a navigation light group 14 is also provided on the edge of the floating platform. The floating platform is connected to a pod 5 via a lifting mechanism, a balance adjustment module is provided at the bottom of the floating platform, and a power supply unit 11 is arranged around the side of the floating platform.

[0027] Specifically, the pod 5 is arrayed with a non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor, a TDLAS methane analyzer, a four-electrode conductivity probe, and a chlorophyll fluorescence sensor. In an optional embodiment, the non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor has a range of 0-5000 ppm and a response time of T90 < 30 s; the TDLAS methane analyzer has a laser wavelength of 1653 nm and a detection limit of 50 ppb; the four-electrode conductivity probe has an accuracy of ±0.5% and automatic temperature compensation. The chlorophyll fluorescence sensor has an excitation wavelength of 470 nm and a detection range of 0-500 μg / L. Each sensor surface is covered with an ultrasonic vibration ring with a vibration frequency of 40 kHz and an amplitude of 5 μm to prevent biofilm adhesion.

[0028] In this embodiment, the main frame of the floating platform is assembled from six pontoon modules 1. Each pontoon module 1 is made of nylon material, and the interior of each pontoon module 1 has a hexagonal honeycomb structure. The floating platform has six independent compartments inside; four of these compartments are buoyancy chambers, each filled with closed-cell foam material, and the other two are counterweight chambers. The counterweight chambers use electric water injection valves to adjust the water volume and regulate the draft of the floating platform.

[0029] Furthermore, the balance adjustment module includes two sets of balance wings located at the bottom of the floating platform, each set driven by a servo motor. The module also includes a three-axis MEMS gyroscope 8, a fiber optic gyroscope 9, and a hydraulic wave compensator 10, all located at the bottom of the floating platform. The three-axis MEMS gyroscope 8 and fiber optic gyroscope 9 are redundantly designed to acquire the attitude angle of the floating platform in real time. The balance wings have a wingspan of 1.8m and a chord length of 0.3m, are driven by servo motors, and can rotate ±30° around their axes. The angle of attack of the balance wings is adjusted in real time based on feedback from the three-axis MEMS gyroscope 8 or the fiber optic gyroscope 9.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the hydraulic wave compensator 10 includes a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and an accumulator, with the double-acting hydraulic cylinder controlled by a proportional valve. In the device's balance adjustment module, the double-acting hydraulic cylinder and the accumulator together constitute the hydraulic wave compensator 10. The double-acting hydraulic cylinder performs active or passive extension and retraction movements in the vertical direction to counteract or follow the rise and fall of the floating platform caused by waves. The accumulator absorbs the hydraulic oil pressure fluctuations generated by the compression of the double-acting hydraulic cylinder during wave impact, preventing pressure peaks from damaging the system. It also releases the stored hydraulic energy when the waves recede, assisting the hydraulic cylinder in quickly returning to its original position or providing a reaction force, thereby smoothing the movement of the hydraulic cylinder and reducing impact and vibration. The combined effect significantly improves the system's efficiency in absorbing wave energy, working together to stabilize the vertical position of the lifting platform. The proportional valve is the core control element in the hydraulic wave compensator 10; it directly adjusts the flow rate of the hydraulic oil passing through the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, and can precisely and quickly change the valve opening.

[0031] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism is a winch system 6. The first cable in the winch system 6 is connected to the top of the pod 5 via a universal joint, allowing the pod 5 to swing freely 360° in the horizontal plane, with a maximum deflection angle of ±15°, preventing the first cable from tangling. The pod 5 is a stainless steel cylinder, and a pressure sensor 7 is installed at the bottom of the pod 5. The pressure sensor 7 is used for depth feedback, providing real-time feedback on the diving depth. The diving depth of the pod 5 is 0.5-15m. The interior of the pod 5 is filled with silicone oil for pressure compensation, with a pressure resistance depth of 20m.

[0032] In addition, the power supply unit 11 includes a ring-shaped monocrystalline silicon solar panel and a battery pack arranged around the floating platform. The battery pack is charged via a controller, supporting continuous operation for 30 days without sunlight. The floating platform is also equipped with a LoRa module 12 and a 4G Beidou integrated device 13; the LoRa module 12 is used for short-range data transmission, and the 4G Beidou integrated device 13 is used for uploading data to the cloud, enabling timely data transmission.

[0033] Finally, multiple side anchoring rings 2 are symmetrically arranged on the edge of the floating platform; a bottom anchoring ring 3 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the floating platform, and the bottom anchoring ring 3 suspends the counterweight block through a second cable. The second cable connecting the counterweight block is equipped with a tension sensor; multiple lifting rings 4 are evenly arranged on the top surface of the floating platform.

[0034] When in use, the device is lifted to the target water area by the lifting ring 4, and the bottom anchoring ring 3 suspends a concrete counterweight to stabilize the posture, and then reservoir monitoring is carried out.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
