Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil and water loss early warning technology, and in particular to a buoy station for early warning of soil and water loss in ditches. Background Technology

[0002] Today, soil erosion has become a major factor restricting the sustainable development of human economy and society. Therefore, monitoring and early warning of soil erosion can help detect problems early, formulate appropriate prevention and control measures, and reduce its adverse effects, thereby promoting ecological civilization construction and sustainable development. Mountain gullies are located in the wild and are "channels" for the natural flow of water and sediment. Traditional methods of manual sampling or fixed-point monitoring are required to detect soil erosion through gullies.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219511630U, which discloses a monitoring device for soil and water conservation. This device includes a buoy mechanism floating on the surface of a river or lake, and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the buoy mechanism. The buoy mechanism monitors its current water level in real time via an attitude detection device. It also outputs a rotational degree of freedom to adjust the relative horizontal orientation angle of the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism outputs a vertical linear degree of freedom to adjust the raising and lowering of a visual detection device, which visually detects the current soil and water conservation status of the environment. This patent, by incorporating the buoy mechanism, adjustment mechanism, and visual detection device, allows for visual detection of the external environment to assess soil and water conservation conditions. However, the water flow in the channel contains floating objects such as trees. These floating objects are carried by the water flow and move quickly, which can cause them to collide with the buoy and cause physical damage to the buoy. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] Example 1: A buoy station for early warning of soil erosion in gullies, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the buoy includes a buoy body 1, which is made of a material with a density less than water. A ring-shaped protective ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the buoy body 1 via multiple circumferentially arranged fixing rods 5. The protective ring 6 includes an inner ring 7 and a rotating outer ring 8. The inner ring 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple fixing rods 5. The rotating outer ring 8 is rotatably fitted onto the outer wall of the inner ring 7. A connecting protrusion 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating outer ring 8. A groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the inner ring 7. The connecting protrusion 12 and the inner wall of the groove 13 are in a limiting rotatable fit. A float 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating outer ring 8. The float 11 is made of rigid polyurethane foam. Multiple circumferentially arranged rubber rings 10 are provided on the outer side of the float 11. A rubber layer 9 is provided on the outer side of the rubber rings 10, completely enclosing the float 11 and the rubber rings 10. The elasticity of the rubber layer 9 is greater than that of the rubber rings 10.

[0022] The top sidewall of the buoy body 1 is equipped with a photovoltaic panel 2 for photovoltaic power generation. A visual detection component 3 is installed at the top of the buoy body 1. The visual detection component 3 includes a visual camera, a rotating gimbal for adjusting the orientation of the visual detection component 3, and a height adjustment component for adjusting the height of the visual detection component 3. The visual camera, rotating gimbal, and height adjustment component are all existing mature technologies, and their basic structure and working principle are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here. A rainfall detection component 4 for detecting rainfall in the area where the device is located is installed on the outer wall of the buoy body 1. The rainfall detection component 4 includes a water-collecting cylinder, a water level sensor, and an electric drain valve. The internal structure of the rainfall detection component 4 is all existing mature technologies, so they will not be described in detail here. The buoy body 1 is also equipped with a posture sensor, a turbidity meter, a current profiler, a water level monitoring mechanism, and other sensors for early warning and monitoring of soil and water loss, as well as a communication module for transmitting data to the background. An anchor cable for fixing the position of the buoy body 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buoy body 1.

[0023] The bottom outer wall of the protective ring 6 is provided with a flexible shielding component, which includes multiple support rods 15 and a protective cable net 16. The multiple support rods 15 are all fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the rotating outer ring 8 through buffer hinges. The multiple support rods 15 are arranged circumferentially, and the bottom ends of the support rods 15 are inclined to the outside of the rotating outer ring 8. The protective cable net 16 is fixedly connected between the multiple support rods 15.

[0024] In this embodiment, all electrical components are electrically connected to the main controller and battery inside the buoy body 1, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control.

[0025] When floating objects such as trees mixed in the water flow move towards the buoy body 1, they will first collide with the rubber layer 9. Since the elasticity of the rubber layer 9 is greater than that of the rubber ring 10, the rubber layer 9 and the rubber ring 10 provide multi-layer buffering of the impact force, preventing the buoy body 1 from being impacted. At the same time, if there is a tangential component force in the impact, it will push the outer ring 8 and the inner ring 7 to rotate relative to each other, guiding the floating objects to the side, achieving deflection and force relief, and improving the buffering effect. Meanwhile, the support rod 15 and the protective cable net 16 can protect the device underwater, preventing underwater debris from colliding with the underwater sensor structure.

[0026] By incorporating a protective ring 6, the impact of floating objects can be buffered, preventing them from directly colliding with the buoy body 1. At the same time, when there is a tangential force during the impact, the floating object can be guided to the side to achieve deflection and force relief, thereby improving the buffering effect.

[0027] By incorporating flexible shielding components, the device can be protected underwater, preventing underwater debris from colliding with the underwater sensor structure.

[0028] Example 2: A buoy station for early warning of soil erosion in gullies. This example is based on Example 1 and makes the following improvements, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the connecting protrusion 12 is provided with an arc-shaped receiving groove, and a rotating roller 14 is provided in the receiving groove to roll in contact with the inner wall of the groove 13.

[0029] When the outer ring 8 rotates relative to the inner ring 7, the rotating roller 14 can convert the sliding friction between the connecting protrusion 12 and the groove 13 into rolling friction, reducing friction and wear, making it easier for the outer ring 8 to rotate relative to the inner ring 7.

[0030] By providing a rotating roller 14, the sliding friction between the connecting protrusion 12 and the groove 13 can be transformed into rolling friction, reducing friction and wear, making it easier for the outer ring 8 to rotate relative to the inner ring 7.

[0031] Working principle: When floating objects such as trees mixed in the water flow move towards the buoy body 1, they will first collide with the rubber layer 9. Since the elasticity of the rubber layer 9 is greater than that of the rubber ring 10, the rubber layer 9 and the rubber ring 10 provide multi-layer buffering of the impact force, preventing the buoy body 1 from being impacted. At the same time, if there is a tangential component force in the impact, it will push the outer ring 8 and the inner ring 7 to rotate relative to each other. The rotating roller 14 can convert the sliding friction between the connecting protrusion 12 and the groove 13 into rolling friction, guiding the floating objects to the side, achieving deflection and force relief, and improving the buffering effect. Meanwhile, the support rod 15 and the protective cable net 16 can protect the device underwater, preventing underwater debris from colliding with the underwater sensor structure.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
