Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological cableways, and in particular to a warning float. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of hydrological cableways, the catfish is an important hydrological monitoring tool, often placed in the water for the collection and monitoring of data such as water flow and water level. Its stable operation is crucial to ensuring the accuracy and continuity of hydrological monitoring data. However, traditional hydrographic measuring tools have significant shortcomings in practical applications. Because they are placed directly in the water without effective marking and warning measures, they are not easily visible in the aquatic environment. This makes them highly susceptible to being bumped by passing vessels, underwater equipment, or other moving objects who fail to notice their presence. Such contact can damage the structure of the measuring tool, affecting its normal monitoring function and causing data interruption or distortion. Furthermore, the movement of the measuring tool can interfere with the overall monitoring system of the hydrological cableway, causing numerous inconveniences and potential risks to hydrological monitoring work, and making it difficult to ensure that the measuring tool is not affected by external factors during the detection process. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a warning float that solves the technical problem in the prior art where the mantis shrimp is placed directly in the water without effective marking and warning measures, making it not conspicuous in the aquatic environment. At the same time, it makes it easy for passing ships, underwater work equipment or other objects in the water to come into contact with the mantis shrimp because they fail to notice its presence in time.
[0004] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.
[0005] A warning float includes a float, hooks for securing a jackhammer, two sets of pull ropes symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the float, a warning light for alerting the outside world, and a mounting base for securing the warning light; the hooks are connected to the connection points of the two sets of pull ropes; two sets of mounting bases are symmetrically arranged on the top of the float; each set of mounting bases has a mounting groove on its top for mounting the warning light; the bottom of the warning light is installed in the mounting groove and fixedly connected to the mounting base.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: A further technical solution is as follows: the fixing base is detachably fixed to the top of the float by bolts; the warning light is detachably fixed to the fixing base by bolts.
[0007] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: 1. The system employs a buoy, hook, two sets of pull ropes, warning lights, and two fixed bases. The fish is connected to the buoy via the hook and ropes, and the buoy floats on the water surface, clearly indicating the fish's location. Passing vessels and underwater equipment can easily detect the signals emitted by the buoy and warning lights, avoiding contact with the fish, reducing the possibility of structural damage, ensuring its normal monitoring function, guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of hydrological monitoring data, and protecting the fish from external interference during the monitoring process. Two symmetrically positioned warning lights emit warning signals from different directions, and the solar power supply allows for stable operation in water environments lacking external power. The night-flash function further enhances the visibility of the warnings, effectively alerting others to the presence of monitoring equipment both day and night. The fixed bases are detachably bolted to the buoy, and the warning lights are detachably bolted to the fixed bases. When the warning lights malfunction or need replacement, personnel can easily disassemble and install them, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. Furthermore, the buoy, pull ropes, and other components are made of suitable materials, improving the durability of the entire device and extending its service life. Attached Figure Description

[0011] This application provides a warning float that solves the technical problem in the prior art where the mantis shrimp is placed directly in the water without effective marking and warning measures, making it not conspicuous in the aquatic environment. At the same time, it makes it easy for passing ships, underwater work equipment or other objects in the water to come into contact with the mantis shrimp because they fail to notice its presence in time.
[0012] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows: To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0013] A warning float, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the device includes a float 1, hooks 2 for securing the tongs, two sets of pull ropes 3 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the float 1, a warning light 4 for alerting the outside world, and a mounting base 5 for securing the warning light 4. The hooks 2 are connected at the junction of the two sets of pull ropes 3. Two sets of mounting bases 5 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the float 1. Each set of mounting bases 5 has a mounting groove 51 for mounting the warning light 4. The bottom of the warning light 4 is installed in the mounting groove 51 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base 5.
[0014] The mounting base 5 is detachably fixed to the top of the float 1 by bolts; the warning light 4 is detachably fixed to the mounting base 5 by bolts. The float 1 is made of high-strength plastic material, which has good buoyancy and can float on the water surface. Two sets of pull ropes 3 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the float 1. The pull ropes 3 are made of wear-resistant and high-strength nylon material. One end of the rope is fixedly connected to the bottom of the float 1, and the other end converges and connects to the hook 2. The hook 2 is used to fix the catfish and suspend the catfish in a suitable monitoring position in the water. Two symmetrically arranged mounting bases 5 are installed on the top of the float 1. The mounting bases 5 are detachably fixed to the top of the float 1 with bolts, facilitating subsequent disassembly and replacement. Each mounting base 5 has a mounting groove 51 on its top. The bottom of the warning light 4 is installed in the mounting groove 51 and is detachably fixed to the mounting base 5 with bolts. The warning light 4 is solar-powered and has a night-flashing illumination function, providing a conspicuous warning signal under different lighting conditions. Beneficial effects The system employs a buoy 1, hook 2, two sets of ropes 3, warning lights 4, and two mounting bases 5. The fish is connected to the buoy 1 via the hooks 2 and ropes 3, and the buoy 1, floating on the water surface, clearly marks the fish's location. Passing vessels and underwater equipment can easily detect the signals emitted by the buoy 1 and warning lights 4, avoiding contact with the fish, reducing the possibility of structural damage, ensuring its normal monitoring function, guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of hydrological monitoring data, and protecting the fish from external interference during the monitoring process. The two symmetrically positioned warning lights 4 emit warning signals from different directions, and their solar power supply allows for stable operation even in water environments lacking external power. The night-flash function further enhances the visibility of the warning, effectively alerting others to the presence of monitoring equipment both day and night. The mounting bases 5 and buoy 1, as well as the warning lights 4 and mounting bases 5, are all connected by detachable bolts. When the warning lights 4 malfunction or need replacement, personnel can easily disassemble and install them, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. Meanwhile, the use of suitable materials for components such as float 1 and pull rope 3 has improved the durability of the entire device and extended its service life.
