Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of communication equipment technology, and in particular to a buoyancy device and a floating base station. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, buoyancy devices are typically used to support the floating of surface base stations (such as water quality monitoring stations and rescue signal base stations). Traditional buoyancy devices and surface base stations are mostly integral structures (also known as "integral buoyancy devices"), meaning they are fixedly connected. This necessitates handling the entire device during maintenance or transportation, resulting in significant space requirements and cumbersome operation. Furthermore, integral buoyancy devices cannot be adjusted to suit the size of the base station equipment or the pool environment, leading to poor versatility. In addition, after prolonged use, the fixed connection between the buoyancy device and the surface base station is prone to water ingress or wear, affecting buoyancy stability. Overall, integral buoyancy devices and surface base stations suffer from inconvenient assembly and disassembly, insufficient flexibility, poor versatility, and sealing issues. Therefore, providing a detachable, easily assembled, and highly sealed buoyancy device and floating base station is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a buoyancy device that enables a detachable connection between the buoyancy device and the floating base station through the buoyancy body, so that the floating base station floats on the water surface.

[0013] Furthermore, the base station body includes a first end and a second end away from the first end, and the buoyancy body is located between the first end and the second end. When the base station body is placed on the water surface, the first end is above the water surface and the second end is below the water surface.

[0014] Furthermore, the buoyancy body is arranged in a ring shape, and the ring-shaped buoyancy body is sleeved on the outside of the base station body.

[0015] This application also discloses a floating base station, including a communication module, and the floating base station further includes the buoyancy device described in any embodiment of this application.

[0028] The technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] This application provides a buoyancy device and a floating base station. The buoyancy device provides buoyancy for the floating base station and can be applied, for example, in a pool. The pool is, for example, a pool-shaped structure. The pool-shaped structure can be a swimming pool, a water storage tank, a spa pool, a water tank, a water storage trough, etc. The floating base station can be a water quality monitoring station, a rescue signal station, a buoy-type base station, a surface platform base station, an underwater communication relay base station, etc. This application does not limit the specific presentation of the buoyancy device, floating base station, and pool-shaped structure, as long as they achieve the technical principles of this application.

Figure 5 An exploded view of the buoyancy device is shown, including the relationship between the first component, the second component, the buoyancy block, and the reinforcing ribs. Figure 6 This diagram illustrates the structure of a buoyancy device and a floating base station according to an embodiment of this application.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a buoyancy device for providing buoyancy to a floating base station. The floating base station includes a base station body 20, and the buoyancy device includes a buoyancy body 10. The buoyancy body 10 is detachably connected to the base station body 20 so that the base station body 20 floats on the water surface.

[0032] The buoyancy body 10 is the main part of the buoyancy device, providing support for the installation and fixation of other components of the buoyancy device. The base station body 20 is the main part of the floating base station, providing support for the installation and fixation of other components of the floating base station. The buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably connected. It is understood that both the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are provided with mating structures, which are detachably connected to the mating structures of the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 through detachable parts independent of the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20. For example, both the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are provided with keyways, and a detachable keyway connection is achieved by an independent key structure engaging with the two keyways; or both the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are provided with threaded holes, and a detachable threaded connection is achieved by an independent bolt passing through the two threaded holes. When the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are connected and placed in water, the buoyancy body 10 experiences a downward gravitational force and an upward buoyancy force in the vertical direction. The buoyancy force is greater than the gravitational force, resulting in a net upward force on the buoyancy body 10, which causes it to float on the water surface. The base station body 20 experiences a downward gravitational force, an upward buoyancy force, and a supporting force from the buoyancy body 10 in the vertical direction. The buoyancy force and the supporting force are greater than the gravitational force, resulting in a net upward force on the base station body 20, which also causes it to float on the water surface. Thus, the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably connected, allowing the base station body 20 to float on the water surface.

[0033] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the buoyancy body 10 or the base station body 20 is provided with a connector 11, which is used to detachably connect the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20. The buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably connected to each other by providing a component for detachable connection on one of them. This arrangement integrates the connector 11 into one component, simplifying the structural design of the other component, reducing the overall design complexity of the buoyancy device, and effectively achieving a detachable connection between the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20. In some embodiments, the connector 11 can be integrally formed or assembled into the buoyancy body 10 or the base station body 20.

[0034] In one example, the connector 11 includes at least one of a sleeve portion 111, a plug portion 112, a snap-fit ​​portion 113, and a magnetic attraction portion. The buoyancy body 10 is detachably sleeved, detachably plugged, detachably snap-fitted, and detachably magnetically attracted to the outside of the base station body 20. A detachable sleeved connection uses one component (outer sleeve) to enclose or cover another component (inner sleeve). This configuration is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and has high positioning accuracy. Furthermore, because the sleeved connection restricts freedom of movement in multiple directions, the device maintains good assembly even under stress. A detachable plugged connection uses one component to insert into another component, achieving connection through insertion and removal. Insertion and removal connections are very convenient to assemble and disassemble, and can also achieve a certain degree of fixation. A detachable snap-fit ​​connection achieves a "biting" connection through elastic elements or snap-fit ​​structures, requiring no additional tools or fasteners. Assembly is quick and easy, allowing for rapid detachable connection. A detachable magnetic attraction utilizes magnets or magnetic materials for adsorption. This design simplifies assembly (they simply need to be brought close together to engage), results in an aesthetically pleasing structure, eliminates the need for complex mechanical structures, and effectively enables detachable connections. In some embodiments, the buoyancy body is positioned on the outer side of the base station body, allowing for easy disassembly and installation. Furthermore, the outer buoyancy body provides a larger contact area with water, thereby enhancing the buoyancy it provides to the base station body.

[0035] When the connector 11 includes a sleeve portion 111, the diameter of the sleeve portion 111 gradually decreases in its extending direction; and / or when the connector 11 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 113, the snap-fit ​​portion 113 is slidably disposed on the buoyancy body 10, one end of the snap-fit ​​portion 113 is provided with a snap-fit ​​barb 1131, and the other end is in contact with the elastic member 1132, driving the snap-fit ​​portion 113 to move toward the base station body 20 so that the snap-fit ​​portion 113 locks the base station body 20, driving the snap-fit ​​portion 113 to move away from the base station body 20 so that the snap-fit ​​portion 113 releases the base station body 20; and / or when the connector 11 includes a plug portion 112, the plug portion 112 includes a plug groove or a plug key.

[0036] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, when the connector 11 includes a sleeve portion 111, the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably sleeved. The sleeve portion 111 is disposed on the buoyancy body 10, and the diameter of the sleeve portion 111 gradually decreases in its extending direction. That is, during normal operation of the buoyancy device and the floating base station on the water surface, the inner diameter of the sleeve portion 111 gradually narrows from top to bottom. In other words, viewed from top to bottom, the inner diameter of the sleeve portion 111 gradually decreases. The base station body 20 is connected to the buoyancy body 10 through the sleeve portion 111. The inner diameter of the sleeve portion 111 gradually narrows from top to bottom, so that the limiting effect on the base station body 20 is not only in the radial direction of the sleeve portion 111, but also in the axial direction of the base station body 20. For example, the socket 111 is located inside the buoyancy body 10, and the base station body 20 is inserted into the socket 111. The buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably connected through the socket 111. If it is necessary to release the base station body 20 from the buoyancy body 10, the base station body 20 can be separated from the socket 111. In this way, the buoyancy device and floating base station have a simple disassembly and assembly structure, are easy to operate, and can be disassembled and installed by a single person, effectively improving maintenance convenience and structural versatility.

[0037] It should be noted that the socket 111 can be Figure 3 The ring structure shown can also be a square structure, or other irregular shape structures set according to the needs of use. This application does not limit the specific shape of the socket 111, as long as it can realize the technical principle of this application.

[0038] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, when the connector 11 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 113, the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably snap-fitted together. The snap-fit ​​portion 113 is slidably disposed on the buoyancy body 10, one end of the snap-fit ​​portion 113 is provided with a snap-fit ​​barb 1131, and the other end is in contact with the elastic member 1132. The snap-fit ​​portion 113 can move toward the base station body 20 (for example, the elastic member 1132 can drive the snap-fit ​​barb 1131 to move toward the base station body 20) so that the snap-fit ​​portion 113 locks the base station body 20. The snap-fit ​​portion 113 can move away from the base station body 20 so that the snap-fit ​​portion 113 releases the base station body 20. The base station body 20 is provided with a snap-fit ​​position 21 corresponding to the position of the snap-fit ​​portion 113 of the buoyancy body 10, and the snap-fit ​​position 21 is used for the snap-fit ​​portion 113 to snap into place.

[0039] For example, a locking part 113 is slidably provided on the buoyancy body 10. One end of the locking part 113 is provided with a locking hook 1131, and the other end of the locking part 113 is in contact with an elastic member 1132. The elastic member 1132 can drive the locking hook 1131 to move, and the locking hook 1131 can engage with the locking position 21 provided on the base station body 20. Thus, if it is necessary to fix the base station body 20 on the buoyancy device, the base station body 20 is placed inside the buoyancy body 10, and the elastic member 1132 drives the locking hook 1131 to move towards the base station body 20 until the locking hook 1131 engages with the locking position 21, so that the locking part 113 locks the base station body 20, thereby fixing the base station body 20. If it is necessary to release the base station body 20 from the buoyancy body 10, an external force is applied to the elastic element 1132, which drives the locking hook 1131 away from the base station body 20. The locking hook 1131 disengages from the locking position 21, and the locking part 113 releases the base station body 20, so that the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are separated.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the connector 11 includes a plug-in portion 112, the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably plugged in. The plug-in portion 112 includes a plug-in groove or a plug-in key. The base station body 20 is provided with a plug-in mating portion 22 corresponding to the position of the plug-in portion 112 of the buoyancy body 10. For example, the buoyancy body 10 is provided with an L-shaped plug-in groove, and the base station body 20 is provided with a corresponding plug-in mating portion 22 for use. Thus, when the connector 11 is disposed on the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 is placed inside the buoyancy body 10, the plug-in mating portion 22 on the base station body 20 engages with the plug-in groove or plug-in key on the buoyancy body 10, achieving a detachable plug-in connection between the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20, and the base station body 20 is fixed on the buoyancy device. If it is necessary to release the base station body 20 from the buoyancy body 10, an external force is applied to separate the plug slot or plug key from the plug mating part 22, thereby releasing the base station body 20.

[0041] It should be noted that the L-shaped insertion slot is only an example of this application. This application does not limit the shape and structure of the insertion slot or insertion key. Those skilled in the art can limit it according to actual use needs, as long as it meets the technical principles of this application.

[0042] When the connector 11 includes a magnetic attraction part, the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 are detachably magnetically attracted. In one example, the connector 11 is a magnetic material with strong magnetic attraction, such as a magnetic block. The base station body 20 is provided with a magnetic material that attracts the magnetic material on the connector 11 or a material that can be magnetically attracted by the magnetic material on the connector 11, such as a magnetic block or a magnetically attracted metal block. Thus, when the connector 11 is disposed on the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20 is placed inside the buoyancy body 10, the magnetic material on the connector 11 attracts the magnetic material or magnetic material on the base station body 20 and combines with it, achieving a detachable magnetic attraction between the buoyancy body 10 and the base station body 20, so that the floating base station is fixed on the buoyancy device. If the buoyancy device and the floating base station need to be separated, an external force is applied to separate the magnetic attraction part from the base station body 20, that is, the base station body 20 is released.

[0043] It should be noted that the connector 11 includes at least one of the following: a socket part 111, a plug part 112, a snap-fit ​​part 113, and a magnetic part. This means that the connector 11 can include any one of the following: a socket part 111, a plug part 112, a snap-fit ​​part 113, and a magnetic part. It can also be a combination of any two of the following: a socket part 111, a plug part 112, a snap-fit ​​part 113, and a magnetic part. It can also be a combination of any three of the following: a socket part 111, a plug part 112, a snap-fit ​​part 113, and a magnetic part. Or it can be a combination of all four: a socket part 111, a plug part 112, a snap-fit ​​part 113, and a magnetic part. This application does not impose specific limitations, as long as the technical principle of this application can be achieved.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the buoyancy body 10 includes a first component 101 and a second component 102. The first component 101 and the second component 102 together form a hollow structure. The first component 101 and the second component 102 are correspondingly arranged and are detachably connected. The buoyancy device also includes a buoyancy block 12, which is disposed in the hollow structure; and / or, the hollow structure is provided with reinforcing ribs 13.

[0045] Specifically, the buoyancy body 10 includes a first component 101 and a second component 102, which together form a hollow structure. The hollow structure is equipped with buoyancy blocks 12 (e.g., foam or airbags), which assist in enhancing the buoyancy of the buoyancy body 10. This ensures that after the base station body is fixed, it provides sufficient support to allow the floating base station to float on the water surface. The first component 101 and the second component 102 are correspondingly arranged and are detachably connected, for example, by using screws, facilitating assembly and disassembly. The hollow structure is equipped with reinforcing ribs 13 to provide structural reinforcement to the buoyancy body 10. Thus, the detachable connection of the first component 101 and the second component 102 allows for both buoyancy adjustment of the buoyancy body 10 and convenient disassembly, assembly, and transportation during replacement.

[0046] In one example, the buoyancy body 10 may also be provided with an anti-collision structure to provide impact cushioning and ensure the service life of the buoyancy device. A sealing material, such as a rubber sealing ring, is provided at the connection between the first component 101 and the second component 102 to prevent water from seeping into the intermediate structure during use of the buoyancy device.

[0047] In one example, the buoyancy body 10 can be injection molded from a corrosion-resistant material, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which can effectively prevent corrosion when used in water.

[0048] It should be noted that the first component 101 and the second component 102 can be a semi-circular ring structure or a square structure. This application does not limit the specific shape and structure of the first component 101 and the second component 102. Those skilled in the art can limit them according to actual use needs, as long as the technical principle of this application can be achieved. The buoyancy block 12 can be foam or other materials for buoyancy adjustment. This application does not specifically limit it, as long as the technical principle of this application can be achieved. The material of the buoyancy body 10 is only an example. This application does not specifically limit it. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual use needs, as long as the technical principle of this application can be achieved.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the base station body 20 includes a first end 201 and a second end 202 away from the first end 201. The buoyancy body 10 is located between the first end 201 and the second end 202. When the base station body 20 is placed on the water surface, the first end 201 is above the water surface and the second end 202 is below the water surface.

[0050] The base station body 20 is roughly elongated and includes a first end 201 and a second end 202. The first end 201 and the second end 202 are located on both sides of the base station body 20. When the buoyancy body 10 is connected to the base station body 20 and is working normally, the base station body 20 is in a vertical standing position. The buoyancy body 10 is located in the middle of the base station body 20, that is, between the first end 201 and the second end 202, so as to provide support for the base station body 20. At this time, the base station body 20 floats on the water surface, partially submerged but not completely submerged. That is, the first end 201 of the base station body 20 is above the water surface, and the second end 202 is below the water surface.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the buoyancy body 10 is arranged in a ring shape, and the ring-shaped buoyancy body 10 is sleeved on the outside of the base station body 20.

[0052] Specifically, the buoyancy body 10 is arranged in a ring shape, and the inside of the ring of the buoyancy body 10 has a space to accommodate the base station body 20. The buoyancy body 10 is fitted on the outside of the base station body 20, so that the base station body 20 is located inside the buoyancy body 10. The buoyancy body 10 can provide uniform support for the base station body 20, ensuring that the base station body 20 floats on the water surface.

[0053] This application also provides a floating base station, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the floating base station includes a communication module, and the floating base station also includes the buoyancy device described in any embodiment of this application.

[0054] The floating base station includes a base station body 20, a communication module, and a buoyancy device. The buoyancy device provides support for the base station body 20 to float on the water surface and fixes the base station body 20 in place. The communication module is used to realize data transmission and information exchange, responsible for transmitting data collected by the floating base station, such as monitoring data on water quality, weather, and equipment status, and receiving instructions. The communication module can be one or more of satellite communication modules, cellular communication modules, and short-range wireless communication modules, or other communication modules that realize communication functions. This application does not impose specific limitations, as long as they can realize the technical principles of this application.

[0055] It should be noted that the floating base station may also include components such as a sealed compartment, a decorative cover, and a shock-absorbing rubber cover. Those skilled in the art can add, subtract, or configure the above components according to actual usage needs. This application does not impose specific limitations, as long as the technical principles of this application can be achieved.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, the base station body 20 is provided with a latching position 21 at the position corresponding to the latching part 113 of the buoyancy body 10, and the latching position 21 is used for the latching part 113 to latch; or, the base station body 20 is provided with a plug-in mating part 22 at the position corresponding to the plug-in part 112 of the buoyancy body 10, and the plug-in mating part 22 is used to cooperate with the plug-in part 112 to plug in.

[0057] The specific setup and mating process of the snap-fit ​​position 21 and the insertion mating part 22 have been described in detail above, and will not be repeated here.
