Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buoy technology, and in particular to a moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for equipment inside a buoy compartment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of marine environmental monitoring, drifting buoys play an irreplaceable role as an important monitoring device. For example, a drifting buoy disclosed in publication number CN219237295U comprises a sail body and an instrument compartment, connected by steel cables. The instrument compartment has a meteorological observation module at the top for observing meteorological parameters above the sea surface and a hydrological observation module at the bottom for observing seawater hydrological parameters. The instrument compartment is spherical, consisting of an upper and lower buoyancy sphere, with O-rings at their contact surfaces and a buoyancy ring fitted over the connection. This design ensures a certain degree of airtightness of the instrument compartment, and the buoyancy ring keeps the connection point above sea level, preventing seawater and salt spray intrusion and ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data.

[0003] However, the marine environment is characterized by high humidity and high salt spray, making internal ventilation and dehumidification crucial for buoy equipment operating in this environment for extended periods. While existing buoy technologies, through their sealed designs, prevent direct intrusion of external seawater and salt spray, they do not facilitate effective ventilation and dehumidification of the buoy's interior. In the marine environment, factors such as diurnal temperature variations and changes in air humidity easily create a humid environment inside the buoy compartment, leading to condensation on the surfaces of equipment. The moisture from this condensation can severely damage electronic equipment and precision instruments within the buoy compartment, affecting normal operation, reducing equipment lifespan, and even causing equipment malfunctions. This can render the entire buoy monitoring system inoperable, preventing accurate acquisition of marine meteorological and hydrological data and posing significant challenges to marine environmental monitoring. Therefore, solving the problem of moisture and condensation prevention within the buoy compartment to ensure the long-term stable operation of buoys in harsh marine environments has become a critical issue urgently needing to be addressed in the field of marine drifting buoy technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for equipment inside a buoy. Through improvements in various aspects such as optimizing the installation structure, enhancing sealing performance, innovating ventilation methods, and preventing gas backflow, it effectively solves the existing problems of moisture-proof and condensation-proof buoys, providing strong support for the reliable operation of ocean drifting buoys in harsh marine environments, and has significant economic and social benefits.

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

[0006] A moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for equipment inside a buoy compartment includes:

[0007] The lower buoy body and the upper buoy body used in conjunction with the lower buoy body, wherein a blower for air circulation inside the upper buoy body is installed on one side of the top of the upper buoy body, and an anti-backflow component for gas discharge inside the upper buoy body is installed on the other side of the top of the upper buoy body.

[0008] The aforementioned buoy compartment equipment moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure includes a connecting lug 1 installed on the lower buoy body, and a connecting lug 2 installed on the upper buoy body at a position corresponding to the connecting lug 1, which is used in conjunction with the connecting lug 1.

[0009] The aforementioned buoy compartment equipment moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure includes an annular sealing groove at the top of the lower buoy body and a sealing ring that matches the annular sealing groove fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper buoy body.

[0010] The aforementioned buoy compartment equipment moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure includes an anti-backflow component comprising a ventilation pipe installed on the upper buoy body, an annular plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation pipe, and a liftable sealing plate provided on the top of the annular plate.

[0011] The aforementioned buoy cabin equipment moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure includes a sealing hemisphere that matches the ring plate and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plate.

[0012] The aforementioned moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for the equipment inside the buoy compartment includes a positioning slide rod fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the ring plate for limiting the sealing plate, and a positioning slide sleeve that is slidably connected to the positioning slide rod is provided on the sealing plate at the position corresponding to the positioning slide rod.

[0013] The aforementioned moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for the equipment inside the buoy compartment includes a connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the positioning slide rod, and a sleeve spring sleeved between the connecting block and the sealing plate.

[0014] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model realizes a moisture-proof and condensation-proof ventilation structure for equipment inside a buoy compartment. It achieves convenient docking and installation through the connecting lug 1 of the lower buoy body and the connecting lug 2 of the upper buoy body. The annular sealing groove of the lower buoy body and the sealing ring of the upper buoy body enhance the docking seal, preventing the intrusion of seawater, salt spray, and humid air. The blower of the upper buoy body inflates the compartment with air, and humid gas is discharged through the ventilation pipe. During blowing, the gas compresses the sealing hemisphere inside the ventilation pipe, causing it to detach from the ring plate and compress the sleeve spring, achieving efficient ventilation and dehumidification. When the blower stops, the spring force drives the sealing hemisphere to block the ring plate, preventing gas backflow and comprehensively ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment inside the buoy compartment in harsh marine environments.

[0016] 2. Improved Installation Ease: This invention features a connecting lug 1 on the lower buoy body and a connecting lug 2 on the upper buoy body. This design facilitates the docking and installation of the lower and upper buoy bodies. During actual installation, workers can quickly and accurately dock the upper and lower buoy bodies using connecting lugs 1 and 2, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing installation time and labor costs. It is particularly suitable for the rapid deployment and maintenance of buoys in marine environments.

[0017] 3. Enhanced Sealing Performance: By incorporating an annular sealing groove on the lower buoy body and a sealing ring on the upper buoy body, the sealing ring engages with the annular sealing groove when the upper and lower buoy bodies are joined. This structure enhances the sealing performance of the connection. Effective sealing further prevents seawater, salt spray, and humid air from entering the buoy compartment through the joint, providing more reliable protection for the equipment inside the buoy compartment. This ensures the equipment operates in a dry and stable environment, improving its reliability and service life.

[0018] 4. High-efficiency ventilation and dehumidification: This utility model innovatively incorporates a blower pump and ventilation duct structure. The blower pump inflates the upper buoy body and expels humid air from inside the buoy body through the ventilation duct. During the blowing process, the gas compresses the sealed hemisphere inside the ventilation duct, causing the sealed hemisphere to release from the pressure of the ring plate, while simultaneously compressing the sleeve spring, allowing the humid air to be smoothly discharged through the ventilation duct. This ventilation method can effectively and promptly expel humid air from the buoy compartment, reduce humidity inside the compartment, effectively prevent condensation problems caused by a humid environment, create a dry and suitable working environment for the equipment inside the buoy compartment, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0019] 5. Preventing Gas Backflow: When the blower pump stops blowing air, the spring, under its elastic force, drives the sealing hemisphere to block the ring plate, forming a good seal. This design effectively prevents external gas from flowing back into the buoy compartment, preventing external humid air, salt spray, etc., from re-entering the compartment and damaging the equipment. Through this automatic sealing mechanism, continuous protection of the buoy compartment can be achieved without additional operation, further improving the moisture-proof and anti-condensation effect of the equipment inside the buoy compartment, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment in the marine environment.

[0034] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a moisture-proof and anti-condensation ventilation structure for equipment inside a buoy compartment, including: a lower buoy body 1 and an upper buoy body 2 used in conjunction with the lower buoy body 1. A blower pump 3 for air circulation inside the upper buoy body 2 is installed on one side of the top of the upper buoy body 2, and an anti-backflow component 4 for gas discharge inside the upper buoy body 2 is installed on the other side of the top of the upper buoy body 2.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, convenient docking and installation are achieved through the connecting lug 101 of the lower buoy body 1 and the connecting lug 2 1011 of the upper buoy body 2; the annular sealing groove 102 of the lower buoy body 1 and the sealing ring 1021 of the upper buoy body 2 enhance the docking sealing performance and prevent seawater, salt spray and humid air from entering; the blower pump 3 of the upper buoy body 2 inflates the cabin with air and discharges humid gas through the ventilation pipe 401. When blowing air, the gas squeezes the sealing hemisphere 402 in the ventilation pipe 401, causing it to escape the compression of the ring plate 4011 and compress the sleeve spring 4041, achieving efficient ventilation and dehumidification; when the blower pump 3 stops, the elasticity of the sleeve spring 4041 drives the sealing hemisphere 402 to block the ring plate 4011, preventing gas backflow and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment in the buoy cabin in harsh marine environments.

[0037] To facilitate the precise docking and installation of the lower buoy body 1 and the upper buoy body 2, in this embodiment: a connecting lug 101 is securely installed on the lower buoy body 1, and a connecting lug 2 1011, which works in conjunction with the connecting lug 101, is precisely installed on the upper buoy body 2 at the position corresponding to the connecting lug 101. This design allows workers to quickly and accurately dock the lower buoy body 1 and the upper buoy body 2 when assembling the buoy, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing the time and effort wasted due to inaccurate positioning during installation. It is especially suitable for the rapid deployment and maintenance of buoys in marine environments.

[0038] To enhance the sealing performance at the docking point of the lower buoy body 1 and the upper buoy body 2, in this embodiment: the top of the lower buoy body 1 is carefully provided with an annular sealing groove 102, and the bottom of the upper buoy body 2 is firmly fixedly connected with a sealing ring 1021 that matches the annular sealing groove 102. When the upper buoy body 2 and the lower buoy body 1 dock, the sealing ring 1021 is tightly embedded in the annular sealing groove 102, forming a reliable sealing barrier, which effectively prevents seawater, salt spray and humid air in the marine environment from entering the buoy compartment from the docking point, providing more reliable protection for the equipment inside the compartment and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0039] To construct the basic ventilation structure of the anti-backflow component 4, in this embodiment: the anti-backflow component 4 includes a ventilation pipe 401 installed on the upper buoy body 2, a ring plate 4011 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 401, and a liftable sealing plate 4012 is provided on the top of the ring plate 4011. The ventilation pipe 401 provides a channel for gas exchange between the inside and outside of the buoy compartment. The ring plate 4011 and the liftable sealing plate 4012 lay the foundation for the subsequent realization of ventilation and anti-backflow functions, and can flexibly control the direction of gas flow according to the working status of the blower pump 3.

[0040] In order to achieve effective sealing and opening functions within the ventilation duct 401, in this embodiment: a sealing hemisphere 402 matching the ring plate 4011 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plate 4012. The design of the sealing hemisphere 402 and the ring plate 4011 can tightly block the ring plate 4011 when the blower pump 3 stops working, effectively preventing external gas from flowing back into the buoy compartment, avoiding secondary damage to the equipment inside the compartment caused by external humid air, salt spray, etc., and ensuring a dry operating environment for the equipment.

[0041] In order to accurately limit the lifting and lowering of the sealing plate 4012, in this embodiment: both sides of the top of the ring plate 4011 are fixedly connected with positioning slide rods 403 for limiting the sealing plate 4012. The sealing plate 4012 is provided with a positioning sleeve 4031 that is slidably connected to the positioning slide rod 403 at the position corresponding to the positioning slide rod 403. The cooperation between the positioning slide rod 403 and the positioning sleeve 4031 ensures that the sealing plate 4012 always maintains vertical movement during the lifting and lowering process and will not deviate. This ensures that the sealing hemisphere 402 can accurately seal and open the ring plate 4011, and improves the working reliability of the anti-backflow component 4.

[0042] In order to enable the sealing plate 4012 to have an automatic reset function, in this embodiment: a connecting block 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning slide rod 403, and a sleeve spring 4041 is sleeved between the connecting block 404 and the sealing plate 4012. When the blower pump 3 stops blowing air, the sleeve spring 4041 can use its own elasticity to push the sealing plate 4012 upward, so that the sealing hemisphere 402 quickly blocks the ring plate 4011, realizing the automatic sealing function without additional operation control, simplifying the workflow of the anti-backflow component 4 and improving its automation level.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] Not only do the connecting lug 101 on the lower buoy body 1 and the connecting lug 2 1011 on the upper buoy body 2 facilitate convenient docking and installation, greatly improving installation efficiency, but the annular sealing groove 102 on the lower buoy body 1 and the sealing ring 1021 on the upper buoy body 2 also enhance the sealing performance of the docking, effectively preventing the intrusion of seawater, salt spray, and humid air from the marine environment, providing reliable protection for the equipment inside the vessel. Furthermore, the blower pump 3 on the upper buoy body 2 can inflate the upper buoy body 2 and expel the humid gas inside the upper buoy body 2 through the ventilation pipe 401. When the blower pump 3 inflates the upper buoy body 2 and vents through the ventilation pipe 401, the gas compresses the sealing hemisphere 402 inside the ventilation pipe 401, causing the sealing hemisphere 402 to disengage from the ring plate 4011, while simultaneously compressing the sleeve spring 4041, thereby smoothly expelling the humid gas inside the upper buoy body 2. When the blower pump 3 stops blowing air, the spring 4041, under the action of elasticity, drives the sealing hemisphere 402 to re-block the ring plate 4011, effectively preventing gas backflow and ensuring that the buoy compartment always maintains a dry and suitable environment, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the equipment inside the compartment.
