The control box 3 contains a data processing module, a power supply module, a communication module, and a control module. It also includes a cast-in-place foundation 7, on the top of which a screw rod 8 is fixedly installed. The screw rod 8 is inserted into the four corners of the base plate 1, and a nut 9 is screwed onto the outside of the screw rod 8, fitting against the top of the base plate 1. A self-locking motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 4, and the output end of the self-locking motor 6 movably passes through the interior of the bracket 4 and is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 5. A conical cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on the front of the monitoring cylinder 21. An internal frame 27 is fixedly installed inside the conical cylinder 22. A turbine 29 is rotatably connected to the front of the internal frame 27. A waterproof motor 28 is fixedly installed on the back of the internal frame 27. The output end of the waterproof motor 28 movably passes through the interior of the internal frame 27 and is fixedly connected to the turbine 29. The power module is electrically connected to the data processing module, the communication module, and the control module. The data processing module is electrically connected to the pH sensor 23, the dissolved oxygen sensor 24, the conductivity sensor 25, and the turbidity sensor 26. The data processing module is also electrically connected to the communication module. The control module is electrically connected to the self-locking motor 6 and the waterproof motor 28.

[0025] In this embodiment: Device fixing and installation: The screws 8 at the top of the cast foundation 7 are inserted into the four corners of the base plate 1. By tightening the nuts 9, the entire device is firmly installed in the aquaculture area to ensure that the device remains stable during use and is not displaced by factors such as water flow, thus completing the water quality monitoring workflow.

[0026] Sensor data acquisition: The pH sensor 23, dissolved oxygen sensor 24, conductivity sensor 25 and turbidity sensor 26 inside the monitoring tube 21 detect key water quality parameters such as acidity, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen content, conductivity and turbidity in the aquaculture water in real time. These sensors convert the detected physicochemical signals into electrical signals.

[0027] Data transmission and processing: The electrical signals generated by the sensors are transmitted to the data processing module in the control box 3. The data processing module analyzes, filters, calibrates and processes these raw data to convert them into accurate and effective water quality data. The processed data is then transmitted to the communication module. The communication module can remotely transmit the water quality data to user terminals such as mobile phones, computers or management platforms via wireless networks such as 4G, 5G, NB-IoT or wired networks, so that aquaculture personnel can monitor the water quality status in real time.

[0028] Monitoring position adjustment: The control module sends a command to the self-locking motor 6, which starts and drives the vertical rod 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the monitoring cylinder 21. After reaching the designated position, the self-locking motor 6 locks itself, keeping the monitoring cylinder 21 stable and continuing the water quality monitoring work.

[0029] Self-cleaning function is achieved: Inside the conical cylinder 22 on the front of the monitoring cylinder 21, the waterproof motor 28 is started under the control of the control module, driving the turbine 29 to rotate at high speed. The water flow generated by the rotation of the turbine 29 can wash the surface of the monitoring cylinder 21 and the sensor probe, removing pollutants such as algae, silt, and biological residues attached to its surface, preventing pollutants from affecting the detection accuracy and service life of the sensor, and realizing the self-cleaning function of the device.

[0030] Energy supply: The power module provides power support for the entire device. It is electrically connected to the data processing module, communication module, control module, self-locking motor 6, waterproof motor 28, etc. in the control box 3 to ensure that each component can operate normally. The power module can be powered by solar energy, battery power or external power supply to meet the needs of different breeding environments.

[0031] The pH sensor 23 inside the monitoring cylinder 21 uses a Honeywell Durafet II pH electrode, the dissolved oxygen sensor 24 uses a YSI 550A dissolved oxygen meter probe, the conductivity sensor 25 uses a Hach CDC401 conductivity electrode, and the turbidity sensor 26 uses a Hach 2100Q portable turbidity meter probe. These sensors convert the detected water quality parameters into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the data processing module inside the control box 3. The data processing module uses an ARM Cortex-M4 series STM32F407 microcontroller. After analysis and processing, the data is transmitted via a communication module such as a SIM800CGSM module. The module transmits data to the user terminal via a wireless network. When the monitoring position needs to be adjusted, the control module, based on the STM32F407, sends a command to the self-locking motor 6, which is a stepper self-locking motor of model 42BYGH40-1704A, to drive the vertical rod 5 to rotate. After reaching the position, the motor self-locks. During self-cleaning, the control module controls the waterproof motor 28 (model JY-370) inside the conical cylinder 22 to start, driving the turbine 29 to rotate and flush the surface of the monitoring cylinder 21 and the sensor probe. The power module supplies power to the entire system, ensuring the stable operation of each component. Each module works closely with the controller to achieve accurate water quality monitoring and automatic cleaning.
