Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation aid vessel technology, specifically to a navigation aid vessel with a swimmer warning function. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of navigation aid vessels is to ensure the normal operation of navigation aids, provide navigation, positioning, and warning functions for ships, and ensure safe navigation in complex waters. With the increasing frequency of swimming activities in summer, some swimmers may approach navigation aid vessels to climb or play, which not only interferes with the normal operation of the vessels but also poses significant safety hazards.

[0003] Existing navigation aid vessels typically only have navigation and marking functions and lack warning mechanisms for swimmers, making it difficult to effectively prevent swimmers from approaching the vessels and increasing the risk of accidents. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a navigational aid vessel with a swimmer warning function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a navigation buoy vessel with a swimmer warning function, comprising:

[0006] The hull of the navigation beacon is evenly distributed with multiple sensor groups around it, the sensor groups including infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors.

[0007] A cylindrical support is installed on the upper side of the hull of the navigation beacon. A navigation light is installed on the top of the cylindrical support. A rotating sleeve is connected to the top of the cylindrical support through a bearing. A camera is installed on the rotating sleeve. High-volume speakers are installed at equal intervals on the upper sidewall of the cylindrical support. A drive assembly for driving the rotating sleeve to rotate is provided on the cylindrical support.

[0008] The buoy vessel is equipped with a processing control module and a communication module. The processing control module and the communication module are electrically connected. The communication module is connected to a walkie-talkie for staff. The processing control module is electrically connected to a loudspeaker and a camera.

[0009] When the drive components, tweeter, and camera are not in operation, they are in a low-power standby mode, and the sensor group performs periodic detection at a low frequency.

[0010] Furthermore, the buoy vessel is equipped with photovoltaic modules, which include solar panels, a photovoltaic controller, and a battery. The battery is nested within the buoy vessel's hull, and the solar panels are mounted on the photovoltaic controller, which is installed on the upper surface of the buoy vessel's hull. The solar panels are electrically connected to the photovoltaic controller, which is electrically connected to the battery. The battery is electrically connected to the sensor array, the buoy light, the loudspeaker, and the camera. The photovoltaic modules supply power to the sensor array, camera, loudspeaker, and other equipment, and are separate from the power supply system of the buoy light, ensuring the independent operation of the warning function.

[0011] Furthermore, the buoy vessel is equipped with a backup battery, which is electrically connected to the processing control module, sensor group, buoy light, loudspeaker and camera. The backup battery can provide emergency power support to the sensor group, loudspeaker and camera when the battery is depleted or malfunctions, ensuring that the equipment can still work normally at critical moments.

[0012] Furthermore, the communication module is connected to the control center.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the rotating sleeve is provided with an end face gear, and the driving component includes a servo motor and a transmission gear. The transmission gear is located below the end face gear and is meshed with the end face gear. The servo motor is installed in the cylindrical bracket, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the transmission gear. The servo motor drives the rotating sleeve to rotate through the meshing transmission between the transmission gear and the end face gear. The rotation of the rotating sleeve drives the camera to turn towards the target position.

[0014] Furthermore, an opening is provided on the cylindrical support corresponding to the position of the transmission gear.

[0015] Furthermore, the processing control module is electrically connected to the servo motor, and the processing control module controls the servo motor to work, causing the camera to turn towards the target position.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0017] 1. By evenly distributing infrared and ultrasonic sensors around the buoy vessel, it can detect approaching swimmers in a timely manner. When a swimmer is detected approaching, a warning sound can be emitted through a loudspeaker to remind the swimmer to stay away. Staff can also communicate with the approaching person through a staff walkie-talkie to further remind them to leave, effectively preventing swimmers from climbing or approaching the buoy vessel, reducing the risk of accidents, and ensuring the safety of swimmers and the buoy vessel.

[0018] 2. The camera can monitor the surrounding waters in real time. With the help of the drive component, the camera can be rotated to expand the monitoring range, so that the staff can have a more comprehensive understanding of the situation around the navigation buoy, and promptly detect abnormalities and take corresponding measures.

[0019] 3. When the drive components, tweeter, and camera are not in operation, they are in a low-power standby mode, and the sensor group performs periodic detection at a low frequency. This design significantly reduces the energy consumption of the device and extends its service life while ensuring normal operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated buoy vessel with swimmer warning function includes:

[0030] The buoy hull 1 is surrounded by multiple sensor groups 2, which include infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors.

[0031] A cylindrical support 3 is installed on the upper side of the hull 1 of the navigation beacon. A navigation light 4 is installed on the top of the cylindrical support 3. A rotating sleeve 5 is connected to the top of the cylindrical support 3 through a bearing. A camera 6 is installed on the rotating sleeve 5. High-volume speakers 7 are installed at equal intervals on the upper side wall of the cylindrical support 3. A drive assembly for driving the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate is provided on the cylindrical support 3.

[0032] The navigation beacon hull 1 is equipped with a processing control module 8 and a communication module 9. The processing control module 8 and the communication module 9 are electrically connected. The communication module 9 is connected to a staff walkie-talkie 10. The processing control module 8 is electrically connected to a loudspeaker 7 and a camera 6.

[0033] When the drive components, tweeter 7, and camera 6 are not in operation, they are in a low-power standby mode, and sensor group 2 performs low-frequency periodic detection.

[0034] Communication module 9 connects to the control center.

[0035] The bottom wall of the rotating sleeve 5 is provided with an end face gear 15. The drive assembly includes a servo motor 16 and a transmission gear 17. The transmission gear 17 is located below the end face gear 15 and meshes with the end face gear 15. The servo motor 16 is installed in the cylindrical bracket 3. The output end of the servo motor 16 is connected to the transmission gear 17. The servo motor 16 drives the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate through the meshing transmission between the transmission gear 17 and the end face gear 15. The rotation of the rotating sleeve 5 drives the camera 6 to turn towards the target position.

[0036] An opening 18 is provided on the cylindrical bracket 3 at the position corresponding to the transmission gear 17.

[0037] The processing control module 8 is electrically connected to the servo motor 16. The processing control module 8 controls the servo motor 16 to work, so that the camera 6 turns to the target position.

[0038] In this invention, multiple sensor groups 2 are evenly distributed around the hull of the buoy vessel 1. The sensor group 2 includes infrared sensors and ultrasonic sensors. The infrared sensors are sensitive to heat sources and detect human bodies, while the ultrasonic sensors can measure distances. The sensor group 2 periodically detects the sea conditions around the buoy vessel 1 at a low frequency. When the infrared sensors in the sensor group 2 detect a human body heat source, the ultrasonic sensors detect the distance. At the same time, the sensor group 2 sends the relevant information to the processing control module 8 for processing. The processing control module 8 controls the servo motor 16 and the corresponding high-volume speaker 7 to work. The high-volume speaker 7 emits a warning sound to remind swimmers to stay away. The servo motor 16 drives the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate through the meshing transmission gear 17 and the end face gear 15. The rotation of the rotating sleeve 5 drives the camera 6 to turn to the target position. The camera 6 collects video information. At the same time, the processing control module 8 sends the corresponding information to the control center. Staff can communicate with people who are approaching through the staff intercom 10 to further remind them to leave. This effectively prevents swimmers from climbing or approaching the buoy vessel, reduces the risk of accidents, and ensures the safety of swimmers and the buoy vessel.

[0039] When the drive components, tweeter 7, and camera 6 are not in operation, they are in a low-power standby mode. The sensor group 2 performs low-frequency periodic detection. This design significantly reduces the energy consumption of the device and extends its service life while ensuring normal operation.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the hull 1 of the navigation beacon is equipped with photovoltaic modules, which include a solar panel 11, a photovoltaic controller 12, and a battery 13. The battery 13 is nested inside the hull 1 of the navigation beacon.

The solar panel 11 is electrically connected to the photovoltaic controller 12, and the photovoltaic controller 12 is electrically connected to the battery 13. The battery 13 is electrically connected to the sensor group 2, the navigation light 4, the loudspeaker 7, and the camera 6.

[0041] The hull 1 of the navigation beacon is equipped with a backup battery 14, which is electrically connected to the processing control module 8, the sensor group 2, the navigation light 4, the loudspeaker 7 and the camera 6.

[0042] In this invention, photovoltaic modules are used to power the sensor group 2, navigation light 4, camera 6, loudspeaker 7, and other equipment. Furthermore, a backup battery 14 is installed inside the hull of the navigation vessel 1. The backup battery 14 can provide emergency power support to the sensor group 2, navigation light 4, loudspeaker 7, and camera 6 when the battery 13 is depleted or malfunctions, ensuring that the equipment can still work normally at critical moments.

[0043] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
