Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of floating platform technology, and in particular to a floating platform for detecting aquaculture waters. Background Technology

[0002] Water quality monitoring is the process of monitoring and measuring the types of pollutants in water bodies, the concentrations of various pollutants, and their changing trends, and evaluating the water quality status. The monitoring scope is very broad, including unpolluted and polluted natural water (rivers, lakes, seas, and groundwater) as well as various industrial wastewater. Real-time monitoring buoys are usually used in water quality monitoring.

[0003] In existing technologies, water quality monitoring buoys typically employ a fixed structure, requiring the detection device to be pre-installed on a floating platform before being deployed as a whole to the target water area. This operational method has significant drawbacks when applied in the central water area: when the detection position needs to be adjusted or the equipment replaced, the entire floating platform must be retrieved, resulting in low operational efficiency and significant consumption of transportation resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome at least one of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, this utility model provides a floating platform for aquaculture water area monitoring. This solves the problem that when the monitoring position needs to be adjusted or the equipment replaced, the entire floating platform must be retrieved, resulting in low operational efficiency and wasted transportation resources.

[0007] The above solution allows for convenient control from inside the floating platform itself. The braking mechanism is connected to the operating lever via a locking head, enabling remote control of the braking mechanism and the operating lever, thus increasing convenience and flexibility. When inspecting the middle of the water, the inspection equipment is placed inside the floating platform. Workers can then move the floating platform to the middle of the water and install the inspection equipment inside for inspection of deeper water areas. This eliminates the need to install the equipment first and then deploy it into the water. Furthermore, the floating platform can be moved remotely in the middle of the water, reducing workload and difficulty.

[0008] Furthermore, the floating platform body has a through groove in the middle, and the through groove is provided with a mounting platform for installing the detection device.

The operating lever is fixedly installed on the pointing head.

[0010] Furthermore, the floating platform body has a long groove on its side, and the operating rod is slidably connected to the long groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the braking mechanism includes a second motor, a lead screw, and a slide rod. The floating platform body has a boss, and the boss has a sliding groove. The slide rod is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The second motor is fixedly installed on one end of the boss.

[0012] Furthermore, the card head includes a first card flap, a second card flap, and a card platform. The bottom of the card platform is provided with a rotating groove, and the upper end of the slide rod is provided with a rotating rod. The rotating rod is rotatably connected in the rotating groove. The lower ends of the first card flap and the lower ends of the second card flap are both connected to the card platform by hinges. The upper ends of the first card flap and the upper ends of the second card flap are both provided with locking platforms. The locking platforms are provided with locking holes, and the locking holes are provided with locking components for locking the locking platforms on the first card flap and the locking platforms on the second card flap.

[0013] Furthermore, the floating platform body is provided with a protective shell for protecting the second motor, lead screw and slide bar, and the protective shell is provided with a rail groove, and the slide bar is slidably connected in the rail groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the floating platform body is provided with an annular groove, and an annular airbag is provided in the annular groove.

Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Example:

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a floating platform for aquaculture water detection includes a floating platform body 1. A connecting platform 431 is provided on the outer side of the floating platform body 1. A rod 23 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 431. A mounting frame 231 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rod 23. A first motor 22 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 231. The output shaft of the first motor 22 passes through the mounting frame 231 and is fixedly connected to a propeller 21 on the outer side. A pointer head 24 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rod 23. An operating rod 3 is fixedly installed on the pointer head 24. One end of the operating rod 3 passes through the floating platform body 1 to the inner side, allowing convenient control of the operating rod 3 from inside the floating platform body 1.

[0034] It should be noted that the rod 23 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 431 via a bearing, so that the rod 23 is restricted from moving up and down while the connecting platform 431 rotates.

[0035] The first motor 22 is a waterproof DC motor. When the first motor 22 is started, the propeller 21 rotates to generate thrust, which drives the floating platform body 1 to move. The operating lever 3 is fixedly installed on the pointer head 24 by bolts. The rotation angle of the lever 23 can be controlled by pushing the operating lever 3, thereby adjusting the propulsion direction of the propeller 21.

[0036] The floating platform body 1 has a long groove 13 on one side, and the operating rod 3 is slidably connected in the long groove 13, so that the operating rod 3 can move in the long groove 13, which facilitates the control of the operating rod 3 and restricts the movement trajectory of the operating rod 3.

[0037] The floating platform body 1 has a boss 14 inside, and a slide groove 141 inside the boss 14. A slide rod 43 is slidably connected in the slide groove 141. A second motor 41 is fixedly installed on one end of the boss 14. A lead screw 42 is fixedly installed on the boss 14 through two fixed platforms 15. The two ends of the lead screw 42 are rotatably connected to the fixed platforms 15 respectively. One end of the lead screw 42 passes through the fixed platform 15 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 41. A connecting platform 431 is provided on the slide rod 43. The connecting platform 431 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 42. The second motor 41 drives the lead screw 42 to rotate. The lead screw 42 drives the connecting platform 431 to slide on the lead screw 42. The connecting platform 431 drives the slide rod 43 to slide in the slide groove 141 on the boss 14.

[0038] The upper end of the slide rod 43 is rotatably connected to the locking head 5. The locking head 5 includes a first locking flap 51, a second locking flap 52, and a locking platform 53. The bottom of the locking platform 53 is provided with a rotating groove 531. The upper end of the slide rod 43 is provided with a rotating rod 432, which is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 531. The lower ends of the first locking flap 51 and the second locking flap 52 are both connected to the locking platform 53 by hinges. The upper ends of the first locking flap 51 and the second locking flap 52 are both provided with locking platforms 511. The locking platforms 511 are provided with locking holes 512, which are used to lock the locking platforms 511 on the first locking flap 51 and the second locking platform 511 on the second locking flap 52. The locking mechanism, via the hinge, allows the first latch 51 and the second latch 52 to rotate on the latching platform 53, opening or closing the first latch 51 and the second latch 52. When the first latch 51 and the second latch 52 are open, the latch head 5 can be disengaged from the operating lever 3, allowing manual operation of the operating lever 3. When the first latch 51 and the second latch 52 are closed, they fit together and are locked by inserting the locking mechanism into the lock hole 512, thus locking the operating lever 3 within the latch head 5, allowing the operating lever 3 to slide within the latch head 5. The latch head 5 is rotatably connected to the slide rod 43, which drives the operating lever 3 to move.

[0039] It should be noted that the locking component refers to the fastening device inserted into the lock hole 512. Specifically, it can be implemented by using a threaded pin or a spring clip, which fixes the relative position of the two locking platforms 511 through mechanical constraint.

[0040] It should be noted that the second motor 41 can be connected to a controller, and the controller can be wirelessly connected to a remote control, thereby enabling remote control of the second motor 41. The specific connection method is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0041] The floating platform body 1 is equipped with a protective shell 16 for protecting the second motor 41, lead screw 42 and slide bar 43. The protective shell 16 is provided with a rail groove 161, and the slide bar 43 is slidably connected in the rail groove 161. The protective shell 16 can protect its internal structure and prevent the operator from touching it, causing unnecessary injury or damage to the internal structure of the protective shell 16.

[0042] The floating platform body 1 has a through groove 12 in the middle, and a mounting platform 121 for installing the detection device is provided in the through groove 12. The surface of the mounting platform 121 has multiple bolt holes to facilitate the installation of the detection device.

[0043] The bottom of the floating platform body 1 is provided with an annular groove 17, and an annular airbag 171 is provided in the annular groove 17. After the annular airbag 171 is inflated, it can provide additional buoyancy and buffer external impact, and can support personnel to carry out installation, disassembly or maintenance operations inside the floating platform body 1.

[0044] The outer surface of the floating platform body 1 is provided with multiple handles 18 arranged in a row. The multiple handles 18 refer to the grip structure that is distributed at intervals along the outer edge of the floating platform, so that the operator can grasp it from different angles. Specifically, metal rings or rubber grips can be used, and the spacing between them is the width suitable for both hands to grip. When it is necessary to move or deploy the floating platform, the operator can apply force at multiple points by gripping the handles 18. At the same time, the handles 18 can be used as fixed points to connect to ropes, which is simple and convenient.

[0045] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
