Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water surface base station equipment technology, and in particular to a water surface base station. Background Technology

[0002] Surface base stations are the core nodes of a pool communication system, responsible for transmitting data collected by underwater equipment (such as automatic pool cleaning equipment and submersibles) to receiving equipment via acoustic signals, or for remotely controlling and managing underwater equipment. In modern surface base station communication systems, underwater acoustic communication modules (such as ultrasonic modules) are generally used as key components for signal transmission and reception, undertaking crucial communication functions. Due to the complexity and variability of the underwater environment, the reliability and ease of maintenance of communication modules become particularly important. However, existing technologies have many shortcomings in the installation and maintenance of communication modules. For example, traditional communication module installation methods typically use mechanical connections such as bolts. This method requires specialized tools for disassembly and installation, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming, reducing maintenance efficiency, and increasing maintenance costs and difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a surface base station, comprising: a base station mounting base with a first connector and a second connector; and a communication component with a first connecting fitting and a second connecting fitting, wherein the first connecting fitting is detachably connected to the first connector, and the second connecting fitting is detachably connected to the second connector, so that the communication component is detachably connected to the base station mounting base. When the first connecting fitting is connected to the first connector, it can limit the communication component axially and radially, and the second connecting fitting can be connected to the second connector to restrict the rotation of the communication component.

[0004] Furthermore, the communication component and the base station mounting base are screwed together via the first connector and the first connecting mating component.

[0005] Furthermore, the first connector includes one of a matching channel and a protrusion, and the first connecting mating member includes the other of the matching channel and the protrusion, wherein the protrusion is located within the channel through an opening in the sidewall of the channel, and the protrusion is movable relative to the channel.

[0006] Furthermore, the channel is spiral-shaped, or, along the rotational direction in which the protrusion is installed within the channel, the diameter of part or all of the channel gradually decreases.

[0007] Furthermore, the second connector includes one of a matching insert and a slot, and the second connecting mating member includes the other of the matching insert and the slot; when the first connector and the first connecting mating member are engaged, a portion of the insert can be inserted into the slot.

[0008] Furthermore, in the case where the second connector includes the slot and the second connecting member includes the plug, the communication component is provided with a sliding groove, the plug is disposed in the sliding groove, and the plug is slidable relative to the sliding groove between a first position and a second position; wherein, when the plug is in the first position, a portion of the plug is inserted into the slot, and when the plug is in the second position, the plug is separated from the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, the sidewall of the sliding groove is provided with a through hole, the through hole extends along the sliding direction of the insertion rod, the insertion rod is provided with a sliding part, the sliding part is located in the through hole, and the sliding part can slide relative to the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the insertion rod is provided with a limiting part, and the communication component also includes a limiting mating part, which is adapted to the limiting part to limit the insertion rod to be located in the first position or the second position.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting part includes two limiting grooves, which are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the insertion rod; the limiting mating part includes a limiting protrusion, which can be selectively disposed in the limiting groove to limit the insertion rod to be located in the first position or the second position.

[0012] Furthermore, the base station mounting base is provided with one of a matching slot and a buckle, and the communication component is provided with the other of the matching slot and buckle; wherein, when the buckle is located in the slot, the first connector is engaged with the first connecting mating member, and the second connector is aligned with the second connecting mating member.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface base station also includes a containment space that is sealed and enclosed to accommodate transmission components to enable power supply and / or communication between the base station mounting and the communication components.

[0014] The embodiments described in this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0015] When the first connecting member is connected to the first connecting component, the sidewalls (one or more sidewalls) of the first connecting member can abut or abut against each other in the axial and radial directions of the communication component, thereby limiting the communication component in the axial and radial directions. When the second connecting member is connected to the second connecting component, the sidewalls (one or more sidewalls) of the second connecting member can abut or abut against each other in the circumferential direction of the communication component, thereby limiting the rotation of the communication component. Thus, by connecting the first connecting member to the first connecting member and the second connecting member to the second connecting member, the communication component can be limited in all three degrees of freedom—axial, radial, and circumferential—ensuring its relative fixation to the base station mounting base and allowing the communication component to be installed on the base station mounting base. When it is necessary to disassemble the communication component, the second connector can be separated from the second connecting mating part, and the first connector can be separated from the first connecting mating part, thereby releasing the restriction on the communication component in three degrees of freedom and allowing the communication component to be disassembled from the base station mounting base.

[0016] This combination of compatible connectors and mating parts allows communication components to be disassembled and installed without the need for specialized tools, enabling maintenance or replacement of the communication components. This simplifies the disassembly and assembly process and improves the speed and convenience of disassembly and assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] This application provides a surface base station, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water surface base station includes a base station mounting base 100 and a communication component 200. The base station mounting base 100 is provided with a first connector 110 and a second connector 120. The communication component 200 is provided with a first connecting fitting 210 and a second connecting fitting 220. The first connecting fitting 210 is detachably connected to the first connector 110, and the second connecting fitting 220 is detachably connected to the second connector 120, so that the communication component 200 is detachably connected to the base station mounting base 100. When the first connecting fitting 210 is connected to the first connector 110, it can limit the communication component 200 axially and radially, and the second connecting fitting 220 can be connected to the second connector 120 to limit the rotation of the communication component 200.

[0029] The first connector 110 and the first connecting mating member 210 are detachably connected, and this detachable connection can be achieved in various ways. For example, the first connector 110 and the first connecting mating member 210 can be connected by at least one of the following detachable connection methods: screw connection, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, pin connection, key connection, and magnetic connection. When the first connecting mating member 210 is connected to the first connector 110, the sidewalls (one or more sidewalls) of the first connector 110 and the sidewalls (one or more sidewalls) of the first connecting mating member 210 can be aligned or abutted against each other in the axial and radial directions of the communication component 200, so that the first connector 110 can limit the first connecting mating member 210 in the axial and radial directions, thereby limiting the communication component 200 in the axial and radial directions.

[0030] The second connector 120 and the second connecting mating member 220 are detachably connected. For example, the second connector 120 and the second connecting mating member 220 can be connected by at least one of the following detachable connection methods: snap-fit, pin connection, key connection, and magnetic connection. When the second connecting mating member 220 is connected to the second connector 120, the sidewall (one or more sidewalls) of the second connector 120 and the sidewall (one or more sidewalls) of the second connecting mating member 220 can mate or abut against each other in the circumferential direction of the communication component 200, so that the second connector 120 can restrict the rotation of the second connecting mating member 220, thereby restricting the rotation of the communication component 200.

[0031] In this way, by connecting the first connector 110 with the first connecting mating part 210 and the second connector 120 with the second connecting mating part 220, the communication component 200 can be limited in the axial, radial and circumferential degrees of freedom, thereby fixing the communication component 200 relative to the base station mounting base 100 and installing the communication component 200 on the base station mounting base 100.

[0032] When it is necessary to disassemble the communication component 200, the second connector 120 can be separated from the second connecting mating part 220, and the first connector 110 can be separated from the first connecting mating part 210, thereby releasing the restriction on the communication component 200 in three degrees of freedom, and allowing the communication component 200 to be disassembled from the base station mounting base 100.

[0033] By using two sets of compatible "connectors + connecting mating parts", the communication component 200 can be disassembled and installed without the need for professional tools, thereby enabling the maintenance or replacement of the communication component 200. This simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps of the communication component 200 and improves the speed and convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0034] By using two sets of compatible "connectors + connecting mating parts" (i.e., the mating first connector 110 and the first connecting mating part 210, and the mating second connector 120 and the second connecting mating part 220), the communication component 200 is constrained in three degrees of freedom, reducing the difficulty of disassembly and assembly when using only one set of mating connectors. For example, when the communication component 200 is disassembled and assembled with the base station mounting base 100 using a set of mating bolts and nuts, specialized tools are required to fix the nuts and tighten the bolts, making the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome and time-consuming, and the communication component 200 difficult to assemble and assemble. Furthermore, the two sets of compatible "connectors + connecting mating parts" provided in this application can also mutually restrict each other, improving the stability and reliability of the connection of the communication component 200.

[0035] Furthermore, the two sets of compatible "connectors + connecting mating parts" provided in this application can ensure the accuracy and stability of the contact docking between the surface base station and the communication component. For example, the base station mounting base 100 is provided with a first contact, and the communication component 200 is provided with a second contact. When the communication component 200 is installed on the base station mounting base 100, the first contact docks with the second contact to enable the communication component 200 to communicate and / or electrically connect with the base station mounting base 100, thereby enabling the surface base station to transmit or receive signals through the communication component 200 and realize the communication function of the surface base station. When the first connector 110 is connected to the first connecting mating part 210, the communication component 200 can be axially and radially limited, so that the second contact abuts against the first contact, reducing the possibility of the communication component 200 falling off the base station mounting base 100 due to water flow or other external forces. Furthermore, when the first connector 110 is connected to the first connecting mating member 210, the second connector 120 can also be connected to the second connecting mating member 220 to restrict the rotation of the communication component 200, prevent misalignment or offset between the first contact and the second contact, reduce signal attenuation or communication interruption caused by the rotation of the communication component 200 relative to the base station mounting base 100, and improve the stability and reliability of the water surface base station operation.

[0036] The following combination Figures 2 to 5 The following explanation will be based on the example of the first connector 110 and the first connecting mating part 210 being able to be screwed together.

[0037] For example, the communication component 200 is screwed to the base station mounting base 100 via the first connector 110 and the first connecting mating part 210.

[0038] The first connector 110 is screwed into the first connecting mating part 210. This allows the first connector 110 to be connected to the first connecting mating part 210 by rotating the communication component 200, eliminating the need for special connecting tools, shortening installation and disassembly time, and improving the ease of installation and disassembly of the communication component 200.

[0039] For example, the first connector 110 includes one of a matching channel 211 and a protrusion 111, and the first connecting mating member 210 includes the other of a matching channel 211 and a protrusion 111. The protrusion 111 can be located within the channel 211 through an opening 212 in the sidewall of the channel 211, and the protrusion 111 can move relative to the channel 211. Exemplarily, the first connector 110 includes a channel, and the first connecting mating member 210 includes a protrusion adapted to the channel; or, the first connector 110 includes a protrusion 111, and the first connecting mating member 210 includes a channel 211 adapted to the protrusion 111.

[0040] Hereinafter, the first connector 110 and the first connecting mating member 210 will be described using the example of the first connector 110 including a protrusion 111 and the first connecting mating member 210 including a channel 211 adapted to the protrusion 111.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, the base station mounting base 100 may have an installation space, within which at least a portion of the communication components 200 can be installed. A channel 211 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the communication components 200, and extends circumferentially along the communication components 200. An opening 212 is provided on the side wall of the channel 211. Along the axial direction of the communication components 200, the opening 212 is located on the side of the channel 211 facing the base station mounting base 100, or, along the circumferential direction of the communication components 200, the opening 212 is located at one end of the channel 211. A protrusion 111 is provided within the installation space of the base station mounting base 100. Along the axial direction of the communication components 200, the side wall of the protrusion 111 includes a first side wall and a second side wall disposed opposite to each other. When the first connector 110 is connected to the first connecting mating member 210, along the axial direction of the communication component 200, the two opposite inner sidewalls of the channel 211 can respectively mate with the corresponding first sidewall and second sidewall to axially limit the protrusion 111, thereby axially limiting the communication component 200.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, protrusion 111 may include, for example, a first sub-protrusion and a second sub-protrusion. One end of the first sub-protrusion is connected to the bottom wall of the mounting space, and the other end of the first sub-protrusion extends axially along the communication assembly 200. One end of the second sub-protrusion is connected to the radial sidewall of the first sub-protrusion, and the other end of the second sub-protrusion extends radially along the communication assembly 200. The term "radial sidewall of the first sub-protrusion" refers to either of two opposite sidewalls of the first sub-protrusion along the radial direction of the communication assembly 200. For example, the radial sidewall of the first sub-protrusion may be the sidewall of the first sub-protrusion facing the axis of the communication assembly 200. The first sidewall may be the sidewall of the first sub-protrusion facing away from the bottom wall of the mounting space, and the second sidewall may be the sidewall of the second sub-protrusion facing the bottom wall of the mounting space. Furthermore, it is understood that in this case, along the radial direction of the communication component 200, the two opposing inner sidewalls of the channel 211 have different extension lengths. One inner sidewall of the channel 211 has a longer extension length to reach the first sidewall of the first sub-protrusion, and the other inner sidewall of the channel 211 has a shorter extension length to reach the second sidewall of the second sub-protrusion, thereby reducing the occurrence of interference between the other inner sidewall of the channel 211 and the first sub-protrusion.

[0043] For example, the protrusion 111 can be provided on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting space of the base station mounting base 100, and the protrusion 111 extends radially along the communication component 200. The first side wall is the side wall of the protrusion 111 facing away from the bottom wall of the mounting space, and the second side wall is the side wall of the protrusion 111 facing the bottom wall of the mounting space.

[0044] It is understood that the above description of the specific arrangement and structure of the protrusion 111 and the channel 211 is merely exemplary. The specific arrangement and structure of the protrusion 111 and the channel 211 can be set according to the experience of those skilled in the art, or according to the specific structure of the communication component 200 and the base station mounting base 100, as long as the radial and axial limiting of the communication component 200 can be achieved through the protrusion 111 and the channel 211, the specific arrangement and structure of the protrusion 111 and the channel 211 are not specifically limited here.

[0045] During the movement of the communication component 200 toward the base station mounting base 100, at least a portion of the protrusion 111 can enter the channel 211 through the opening 212. After the protrusion 111 enters the channel 211, the communication component 200 or the base station mounting base 100 can be rotated, causing the protrusion 111 to rotate relative to the channel 211, thereby rotating the protrusion 111 to the depth of the channel 211, so that the two inner sidewalls of the channel 211 can respectively axially limit the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

[0046] Along the radial direction of the communication component 200, the outer end wall of the channel 211 can abut against the inner peripheral wall of the mounting space, or the outer end wall of the protrusion 111 can abut against the bottom wall of the channel 211, or the inner peripheral wall of the mounting space can abut against the outer peripheral wall of the communication component 200, to radially limit the communication component 200, thereby enabling axial and radial limiting of the communication component 200. Here, the term "outer end wall of the protrusion 111" refers to the side wall of the protrusion 111 facing the communication component 200 along the radial direction of the communication component 200, and the term "bottom wall of the channel 211" refers to the side wall of the channel 211 facing the inner peripheral wall of the mounting space along the radial direction of the communication component 200.

[0047] Furthermore, when the protrusion 111 moves to the depth of the channel 211, it can reduce the occurrence of the protrusion 111 falling off from the opening 212 of the channel 211, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the communication component 200 and the base station mounting base 100. Here, the term "depth of the channel 211" refers to the end of the channel 211 away from the opening 212 of the channel 211 along the circumference of the communication component 200.

[0048] The channel 211 can be spiral-shaped, for example. When the communication component 200 rotates relative to the base station mounting 100, the communication component 200 can also move along the axial direction of the communication component 200 to adjust the relative position between the communication component 200 and the base station mounting 100, thereby improving the accuracy of the installation position of the communication component 200.

[0049] For example, when the base station mounting base 100 is provided with a first contact and the communication component 200 is provided with a second contact, the mating distance between the first contact and the second contact can be finely adjusted by rotating the communication component 200, or the contact force between the first contact and the second contact can be increased, thereby improving the connection effect of the electrical connection and / or communication connection between the communication component 200 and the base station mounting base 100.

[0050] Furthermore, the protrusion 111 can be spiral-shaped, and its shape is adapted to the shape of the channel 211. Along the circumference of the communication component 200, the extension length of the protrusion 111 can be less than or equal to the extension length of the channel 211. Wherein, when the extension length of the protrusion 111 is equal to the extension length of the channel 211, the opening 212 of the channel 211 is located at one end of the circumference of the channel 211.

[0051] Along the direction of rotation in which the protrusion 111 is mounted within the channel 211, the diameter of part or all of the channel 211 may gradually decrease, for example. Herein, the term "channel diameter 211" refers to the distance between the two opposing inner sidewalls of the channel 211 along the axial direction of the communication component 200.

[0052] By setting the diameter of part or all of the channel 211 to gradually decrease, the compressive force on the first and second sidewalls of the protrusion 111 can be gradually increased when the protrusion 111 rotates relative to the channel 211 along the installation direction, thereby axially positioning the protrusion 111 and increasing the friction between the sidewall of the channel 211 and the sidewall of the protrusion 111 to limit the circumferential rotation of the protrusion 111, thereby limiting the rotation of the communication component 200.

[0053] Furthermore, the diameter of the channel 211 gradually decreases, meaning that the diameter at the opening 212 of the channel 211 is larger. This diameter can be greater than or equal to the axial distance between the first and second sidewalls of the protrusion 111, so that the protrusion 111 can rotate into the depth of the channel 211 at the opening 212, reducing the installation difficulty of the communication component 200.

[0054] For example, along the rotational direction of the protrusion 111 installed in the channel 211, the two inner sidewalls of the channel 211 are inclined and close to each other, or one inner sidewall between the two inner sidewalls is inclined and tilted toward the other inner sidewall.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple protrusions 111, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the base station mounting base 100. The number of channels 211 is the same as the number of protrusions 111, and the channels 211 and protrusions 111 correspond one-to-one. When the communication component 200 is installed on the base station mounting base 100, each protrusion 111 is located in its corresponding channel 211, so that multiple circumferential positions of the communication component 200 can be limited, further improving the stability and reliability of the installation of the communication component 200.

[0056] The following, combined with Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 6 The following explanation will be based on the example of the second connector 120 and the second connecting mating part 220 being able to be connected by a pin.

[0057] Exemplarily, the second connector 120 includes one of a mating insert 221 and a slot 121, and the second connecting mating member 220 includes the other of a mating insert 221 and a slot 121. When the first connector 110 is mated with the first connecting mating member 210, a portion of the insert 221 can be inserted into the slot 121. That is, the second connector 120 may include the insert, and the second connecting mating member 220 may include a slot adapted to the insert 221; or, the second connector 120 may include the slot 121, and the second connecting mating member 220 may include the insert 221 adapted to the slot 121.

[0058] The following description will be based on the example of the second connector 120 including a slot 121 and the second connecting mating member 220 including a plug 221 adapted to the slot 121.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the base station mounting base 100 is provided with a slot 121, and the communication component 200 is provided with a plug rod 221. When the first connector 110 is connected to the first connecting mating member 210, that is, when the protrusion 111 rotates to a predetermined position in the channel 211, the plug rod 221 can be correspondingly set with the slot 121 and can be inserted into the slot 121 to circumferentially limit the communication component 200, restrict the rotation of the communication component 200, reduce the rotation of the communication component 200 under the action of external forces such as water flow or water surface base station shaking and vibration, and prevent the communication component 200 from falling off, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the communication component 200 installed on the base station mounting base 100.

[0060] For example, the insertion rod 221 can slide radially toward or away from the base station mounting base 100 along the communication assembly 200 to insert into or remove from the slot 121. Or, as Figure 4 As shown, the insertion rod 221 can slide along the axial direction of the communication component 200 toward or away from the base station mounting base 100 to be inserted into or removed from the slot 121.

[0061] The communication component 200 may be provided with a sliding groove 230, and the insertion rod 221 is disposed in the sliding groove 230. The insertion rod 221 can slide relative to the sliding groove 230 between a first position and a second position.

[0062] When the insertion rod 221 is in the first position, part of the insertion rod 221 is inserted into the slot 121. When the insertion rod 221 is in the second position, the insertion rod 221 is separated from the slot 121.

[0063] The communication component 200 is provided with a sliding groove 230. The insertion rod 221 can slide relative to the sliding groove 230 between a first position and a second position. For example, when the insertion rod 221 is in the first position, it protrudes from the sliding groove 230, allowing it to be inserted into the slot 121 of the base station mounting base 100, thus restricting the rotation of the communication component 200. When the insertion rod 221 slides from the first position to the second position, it slides along the axial or radial direction of the communication component 200, moving away from the base station mounting base 100. When the insertion rod 221 is in the second position, it can move out of the slot 121 and separate from it, releasing the restriction on the communication component 200 and allowing it to separate from the base station mounting base 100. The sliding groove 230 extends in the same direction as the insertion rod 221, and can extend axially or radially along the communication component 200.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the sliding groove 230 may be provided with a through hole 231. The through hole 231 extends along the sliding direction of the insertion rod 221. The insertion rod 221 is provided with a sliding part 222. The sliding part 222 is located in the through hole 231 and can slide relative to the through hole 231.

[0065] The sliding groove 230 has a through hole 231 on its side wall, which connects the outside to the inside of the sliding groove 230. The through hole 231 extends along the sliding direction of the insertion rod 221, that is, the extension direction of the through hole 231 is the same as the extension direction of the sliding groove 230. The insertion rod 221 has a sliding part 222, which is located inside the through hole 231. In this way, the operator can move the sliding part 222 through the through hole 231, so that the sliding part 222 slides relative to the through hole 231, thereby driving the insertion rod 221 to slide relative to the sliding groove 230. The through hole 231 and the sliding part 222 facilitate the operator's operation of the insertion rod 221, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the communication component 200 and improving operational convenience.

[0066] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the insertion rod 221 may be provided with a limiting part, and the communication component 200 may also include a limiting mating part, which is adapted to the limiting part to limit the insertion rod 221 to be in the first position or the second position.

[0067] When the insertion rod 221 is in the first or second position, it can be positioned by the matching limiting part and the limiting mating part, which reduces the occurrence of the insertion rod 221 sliding under the action of external forces such as shaking and vibration of the water flow or water surface base station, thereby reducing the occurrence of the inability to limit the rotation of the communication component 200 and improving the working reliability and stability of the insertion rod 221.

[0068] For example, the limiting part includes two limiting grooves 223, which are spaced apart along the sliding direction of the insertion rod 221. The limiting mating part includes a limiting protrusion 240, which can be selectively disposed in the limiting groove 223 to limit the insertion rod 221 to be in a first position or a second position.

[0069] Along the sliding direction of the insertion rod 221, two limiting grooves 223 are provided at intervals, and one of the limiting protrusions 240 can be set in one of the limiting grooves 223. When the limiting protrusion 240 is located in the limiting groove 223, the limiting protrusion 240 can restrict the sliding of the insertion rod 221, reduce the self-sliding of the insertion rod 221 in the first position or the second position, and improve the working stability and reliability of the insertion rod 221.

[0070] For example, the two limiting grooves 223 include a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove. When the communication component 200 is installed on the base station mounting base 100, along the sliding direction of the insertion rod 221, the first limiting groove is located on the side of the second limiting groove facing the base station mounting base 100. When the insertion rod 221 is in the first position, the limiting protrusion 240 is located in the first limiting groove to limit the insertion rod 221 to the first position. When the insertion rod 221 is in the second position, the limiting protrusion 240 is located in the second limiting groove to limit the insertion rod 221 to the second position.

[0071] For example, the base station mounting base 100 may have one of a matching slot and a buckle, and the communication component 200 may have the other of a matching slot and a buckle. When the buckle is located in the slot, the first connector 110 engages with the first connecting mating member 210, and the second connector 120 aligns with the second connecting mating member 220. That is, the base station mounting base 100 may have a slot, and the communication component 200 may have a buckle adapted to the slot; or, the base station mounting base 100 may have a buckle, and the communication component 200 may have a slot adapted to the buckle.

[0072] When the latch is in the slot, the first connector 110 engages with the first connecting mating part 210, and the second connector 120 aligns with the second connecting mating part 220. Thus, when the first connector 110 and the first connecting mating part 210 are screwed together and fully engaged, the latch is in the slot, achieving initial positioning of the communication component 200 with the water tank base station. This also serves as a reminder to the operator that further screwing is unnecessary, reducing the installation difficulty of the communication component 200.

[0073] When the latch is in the slot, the second connector 120 and the second connecting mating part 220 can be aligned. At this time, the operator only needs to make the second connector 120 and the second connecting mating part 220 engage and connect (for example, by pushing the plug 221 into the slot 121), which reduces the operator's manual alignment process and improves the convenience of installing the communication component 200.

[0074] The water surface base station may also include a housing space 101, which is sealed and enclosed to accommodate transmission components to enable power supply and / or communication between the base station mounting 100 and the communication components 200.

[0075] The accommodating space 101 can accommodate a transmission component, through which the base station mounting base 100 and the communication component 200 can be powered and / or communicated. For example, the transmission component may include a first contact of the base station mounting base 100 and a second contact of the communication component 200. The accommodating space 101 can be sealed to reduce the ingress of external water or dirt into the accommodating space 101, thereby improving the stability and reliability of power supply and / or communication between the base station mounting base 100 and the communication component 200.

[0076] For example, when the communication component 200 is connected to the base station mounting base 100, a portion of the outer peripheral wall of the communication component 200 is connected to the inner peripheral wall of the base station mounting base 100 to enclose the accommodating space 101. The mounting space may include the accommodating space 101.

[0077] The water surface base station may also include a sealing ring that can be pressed at the connection position between the communication component 200 and the base station mounting base 100 to seal the gap between the communication component 200 and the base station mounting base 100, thereby achieving a seal on the accommodating space 101.
