[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) water quality monitoring buoy is a device installed in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and nearshore sea areas to monitor water quality parameters in real time. By being equipped with a variety of high-precision sensors, it can continuously and automatically monitor various parameters of the water body, such as dissolved oxygen, pH value, conductivity, and temperature, providing a scientific basis for water quality management and environmental protection.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216595079U, which discloses a water quality monitoring device based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The device includes a floating mechanism and a height adjustment mechanism. The floating mechanism comprises a float and a cylinder, with one end of the cylinder connected to one side of the float. The height adjustment mechanism includes a servo motor, a ball screw, a sliding plate, and mounting components. The servo motor is connected to the other side of the float, and the ball screw is mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor, extending through the cylinder. A threaded hole is formed on the inner surface of the sliding plate, through which the ball screw thread passes. Two mounting components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding plate. This application, by setting a height adjustment structure, enables the water quality monitoring device to monitor the quality of water at different depths, resulting in comprehensive water quality monitoring results and improving their accuracy, which is beneficial for water quality management.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned patents have certain drawbacks. They lack protective mechanisms, and the water quality detection probes are submerged in water for extended periods. In actual use, they are easily damaged by collisions with foreign objects such as stones carried by the water flow. Therefore, they are not practical enough. So, we propose a water quality monitoring buoy device based on the Internet of Things. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a water quality monitoring buoy device based on the Internet of Things, including a floating mechanism 1, a monitoring mechanism 2 installed at the bottom of the floating mechanism 1, a base 101, a control box 102 installed at the top of the base 101, an adjustment component 103 installed from the top of the base 101 through the bottom, a float box 104 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 101 near the periphery, and a protective cage 105 fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 101 and inside the float box 104. Several protective components 106 are equidistantly installed around the bottom of the base 101 and the periphery of the float box 104. The monitoring mechanism 2 includes a water tank 201, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 101. A water pump 202 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 201, and a water quality monitoring sensor 203 is installed at the top of the water tank 201. A drain outlet 204 is provided near the top of the periphery of the water tank 201. The water quality monitoring sensor 203 and the water pump 202 are electrically connected to the controller 1022 and the battery 1023. Example 2

[0035] like Figure 1-4As shown, a transceiver 1021 is installed near the right side of the control box 102. A controller 1022 and a battery 1023 are installed sequentially from top to bottom near the left side of the control box 102. Both the transceiver 1021 and the controller 1022 are electrically connected to the battery 1023, and the transceiver 1021 is electrically connected to the controller 1022. The battery 1023 provides power to the entire device, the controller 1022 controls the entire device, and the transceiver 1021 can receive information from IoT terminals or transmit water quality monitoring information to IoT terminals. A solar panel 1024 is installed on the top of the control box 102. 024 is electrically connected to the storage battery 1023. The solar panel 1024 can supplement the power of the storage battery 1023 through the solar power generation panel 1024, thereby improving the range. The adjustment component 103 includes a motor 1031, which is electrically connected to the storage battery 1023 and the controller 1022 respectively. The motor 1031 is fixedly connected to the base 101. A lead screw 1032 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1031. The lead screw 1032 is rotatably connected to the protective cage 105. A slider 1033 is sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw 1032. A water inlet connector 1034 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the slider 1033. The motor 1031 can drive the lead screw 1032 to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw 1032 to move through the slider 1033. The inlet connector 1034 moves up and down to monitor water sources at different depths. The top of the inlet connector 1034 is connected to the water pump 202 via a hose. A filter screen is installed inside the inlet connector 1034. The water pump 202 draws water into the water tank 201 through the inlet connector 1034 and the hose for monitoring by the water quality monitoring sensor 203. The filter screen filters out impurities such as sediment. The protective cage 105 is made of stainless steel, and a limit rod 1051 is welded to its inner side and outside the lead screw 1032. The limit rod 1051 is slidably connected to the slider 1033, which limits the slider 1033 during sliding to prevent it from deviating. To improve stability during use, the protective component 106 includes a fixing plate 1061, which is welded to the base 101. A baffle 1062 is provided on the outer side of the fixing plate 1061. Several sliding rods 1063 are evenly welded between the outer side of the fixing plate 1061 and the baffle 1062. A sleeve 1064 is slidably connected to the outer end of the sliding rod 1063. The sleeve 1064 is welded to the baffle 1062. A buffer spring 1065 abuts between the sliding rod 1063 and the sleeve 1064. The baffle 1062 can block impacting foreign objects, and the buffer spring 1065 can buffer the impact force to prevent foreign objects from damaging the float box 104. A protective pad is adhered to the outer periphery of the baffle 1062.

[0036] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using an IoT-based water quality monitoring buoy device for water quality monitoring, the IoT terminal first sends a command to the controller 1022 via the transceiver 1021, causing the controller 1022 to control the motor 1031 to rotate. This causes the motor 1031 to drive the lead screw 1032 to rotate, which in turn drives the inlet connector 1034 to move up and down via the slider 1033 until the inlet connector 1034 reaches the depth to be monitored. Then, the water pump 202 pumps water into the water tank 201 through the inlet connector 1034 and the hose, thereby enabling the water quality monitoring sensor 203 to monitor the water quality. As the water pump 202 continues to operate, the water level component inside the water tank 201 rises. The water is discharged through the drain outlet 204. The water quality monitoring sensor 203 transmits the water quality information to the controller 1022, which in turn transmits it to the signal transceiver 1021. Finally, the signal transceiver 1021 transmits the information to the IoT terminal to complete the entire monitoring process. During the process, the protective cage 105 can prevent the lead screw 1032, slider 1033 and water inlet connector 1034 from being hit by foreign objects. The baffle 1062 can block the impacting foreign objects, and the buffer spring 1065 can buffer the impact force to prevent foreign objects from damaging the float box 104. Furthermore, the water quality monitoring sensor 203 is located inside the water tank 201, which greatly reduces the probability of equipment damage caused by foreign object collisions and effectively improves practicality.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
