[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The following is combined Figure 1-2 This invention describes a specific embodiment of a fishing float based on a multi-channel vibration switch, comprising a float body 11, and float feet 12 and float tails 13 connected to both ends of the float body 11. The float body 11 is made of hollow buoyancy material, and the interior of the float body 11 is provided with:

[0027] Vibration switch 111 can detect and generate a signal that a fish has taken the bait;

[0028] The logic control circuit 112 is electrically connected to the vibration switch 111. It eliminates water flow interference through logic operations and compares the floating value of the signal with a preset floating threshold to determine whether a fish has taken the bait.

[0029] The microcontroller (MCU) 113 is electrically connected to the logic control circuit 112 and is used to output control current. When it is determined that the signal exceeds the preset floating threshold, the microcontroller 113 outputs current to control the alarm unit 114 to issue an alarm, warning the angler to pull up the fishing rod.

[0030] The alarm unit 114 is electrically connected to the microcontroller (MCU) 113 and is used to output a fish bite alarm signal. The alarm unit 114 is controlled by the microcontroller 113 so that it emits an alarm signal when a fish bites the hook.

[0031] The power module 115 is electrically connected to the vibration switch 111, the logic control circuit 112, the microcontroller unit (MCU), and the alarm unit 114. The power module 115 is used to supply power to multiple components.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the vibration switch 111 includes a vibration switch in the longitudinal axis direction and a vibration switch in the transverse axis direction of the float body, which correspond to the longitudinal and transverse floating of the float, respectively. When a fish bites the hook, the longitudinal vibration intensity is high, which realizes the signal generation of the longitudinal switch; water flow interference manifests as continuous transverse vibration or slight longitudinal vibration.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-2As shown, the static current of the vibration switch 111 is <0.01mA, and the dynamic trigger current is ≤10mA. In single-channel mode, when only a slight fluctuation of the lateral and / or longitudinal vibration switches caused by water flow is detected, the logic control circuit 112 and the microcontroller 113 determine that the state is not bitten, and the alarm unit 114 operates in the lowest current standby mode, in a sleep state, reducing the power consumption of the alarm unit 114. When the longitudinal and lateral vibration switches detect large fluctuations in both the longitudinal and lateral directions, the logic control circuit 112 and the microcontroller 113 detect and analyze that the state is bitten. It should be noted that at the moment the fish bites the hook, the float moves both laterally and longitudinally. When both the longitudinal vibration switch and the lateral control switch exceed the preset fluctuation threshold corresponding to the threshold, the alarm unit 114 is awakened to provide alarm service. By using the dual-mode setting of sleep and wake-up that can be switched between each other, the accurate judgment of the bite can be achieved, while the power module 115 can be saved.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the logic control circuit 112 includes:

[0035] A threshold storage unit is used to store the floating thresholds of the longitudinal vibration switch and the lateral vibration switch. The built-in threshold storage unit stores the floating thresholds of each vibration switch. The preset floating thresholds of the longitudinal and lateral vibration switches can be adjusted according to the hanging scenario to adapt to different water surface conditions. When the first signal and the second signal exceed their corresponding floating thresholds, and the floating signal interval between the longitudinal and lateral vibration switches is ≤0.1s, it indicates a fish bite continuously pulling the float longitudinally and laterally. In this case, the logic control circuit 112 outputs a dual-mode signal. When the longitudinal signal does not exceed its corresponding floating threshold, the logic control circuit 112 outputs a single-mode signal. When only lateral movement exists, it indicates water flow interference, causing the float to remain in sleep mode to reduce power consumption and improve the accuracy of detecting a fish bite.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the microcontroller (MCU) 113 uses an integrated filtering algorithm to determine the characteristics of a fish bite and outputs a current to control the alarm unit 114. When the logic control circuit 112 detects a dual-path mode, the microcontroller 113 outputs a current signal to control the alarm unit 114. In addition, before detecting the dual-path mode output current signal, the microcontroller 113 uses a filtering algorithm to detect and judge the output signal. The filtering algorithm (such as time window detection) distinguishes between valid fish bite signals and environmental interference to determine whether to output the current to control the alarm unit 114. The filtering algorithm is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the alarm unit 114 includes a strobe module installed in the float 13. The strobe module contains at least two color codes. In the dormant state, the float 13 is in a single-color low-brightness illumination mode. After the hook is bitten, it provides high-frequency flashing of multiple colors to warn the angler to lift the rod.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the alarm unit 114 also includes a wireless transmission module disposed within the drift tail 13, which can support Bluetooth connection to the user terminal, and send signals and alerts to the user terminal through the wireless module. The wireless transmission module is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the power module 115 is a lithium battery installed inside the float body, which uses the lightweight nature of the lithium battery to power multiple components.

[0040] Working principle of this utility model:

[0041] The float floats on the water surface. The float body 11 is equipped with a vibration switch 111, which includes a first vibration switch for detecting the float's up-and-down movement in the water flow and a second vibration switch for detecting the float's lateral movement under the interference of the water flow. The vibration switch 111 is used to detect the float's lateral and longitudinal movement.

[0042] After the vibration switch 111 detects the floating signal, it transmits the detection signal to the logic control circuit 112 for floating analysis. The logic control circuit 112 has preset floating thresholds for the longitudinal and lateral vibration switches. By comparing the floating value detected by the vibration switch 111 with the preset floating thresholds, if both the longitudinal and lateral vibration switches exceed the preset floating thresholds, a pre-detection of a biting state is established, and the detection signal is output to the microcontroller 113. The microcontroller 113 uses an integrated filtering algorithm to determine whether the fish biting characteristics are met. If the biting characteristics are met, the alarm unit 114 is activated. However, if the fish biting characteristics are not met, the alarm unit 114 does not issue an alarm signal. When the logic control circuit 112 detects that the lateral vibration switch exceeds its preset floating threshold, the alarm unit 114 enters a sleep state to reduce the power consumption of the microcontroller 113.

[0043] By utilizing the close cooperation between various modules, accurate alarms can be triggered for hook bites, while energy-saving work can be carried out before the hook bites.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
