Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of maritime traffic safety, and in particular to an intelligent monitoring device suitable for marine lighthouses. Background Technology

[0002] Light beacons are fixed navigational aids placed near islands, headlands, or breakwaters in the vicinity of waterways. They provide navigation services to ships through high-intensity navigation lights installed on their tops.

[0003] The relevant technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN214985968U, which discloses a navigational light beacon, including a fixed base, a light beacon post, a climbing ladder, a safety fence, and a photovoltaic power generation light beacon. The safety door is movably connected to one side of the fence body via a hinge. The three searchlights are arranged at a 120° angle around the upper periphery of the fixed post. The photovoltaic panel and photovoltaic energy storage box are installed, and the electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel is directly stored in the photovoltaic energy storage box, which powers the searchlights.

[0004] The aforementioned technologies involve the installation of valuable equipment such as radar transponders, AIS (Automatic Identification System), photovoltaic panels, and batteries on light beacons. The theft of these devices not only causes economic losses but also renders the light beacons ineffective at night, affecting shipping routes. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the probability of equipment being stolen from offshore light beacons and to enable real-time monitoring of the surrounding environment of the light beacons, this application provides an intelligent monitoring device suitable for offshore light beacons.

[0006] This application provides an intelligent monitoring device suitable for marine lighthouses, employing the following technical solution: An intelligent monitoring device for marine lighthouses includes a fixed base and a lighthouse post. The lighthouse post is fixedly installed on the fixed base. A climbing ladder is provided on one side of the lighthouse post. A safety fence is provided on the top of the lighthouse post. A small AIS base station is provided on the safety fence. A fence gate that cooperates with the climbing ladder is provided on the safety fence. An infrared sensor facing the climbing ladder is provided on the safety fence. An electrical control box is provided on the top of the lighthouse post. The electrical control box contains a positioning module, a communication module, and a control module. The positioning module is electrically connected to the control module, the infrared sensor is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module is electrically connected to the communication module. The communication module communicates with a smart terminal or a network server. Several small target detection radars are arranged around the outside of the lighthouse post. The control module is electrically connected to the small target detection radars and the small AIS base station.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, the climbing ladder facilitates workers to reach the top of the light beacon for maintenance or equipment replacement, and the safety fence improves the safety of workers operating on the top of the light beacon. The positioning module is used to obtain the current coordinate information of the marine light beacon in real time and send the corresponding coordinate information to the control module. The control module sends the received coordinate information to the communication module, which then sends it to the smart terminal or network server. The smart terminal then accesses the network server to obtain the current coordinate information of the marine light beacon, thus enabling workers to obtain the current coordinate information of the marine light beacon in real time. The small AIS base station is used to monitor the navigation dynamics of ships equipped with shipborne AIS. Small target detection radar is used to monitor the movement of non-cooperative small targets (small fishing boats, smuggling boats, buoys, etc.) in the waterway; infrared sensors are used to detect whether suspicious persons are approaching. When a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor outputs an alarm signal to the control module. The control module sends the alarm signal to the communication module, which then sends it to the smart terminal or network server. The smart terminal then accesses the network server to obtain the alarm signal of the current location of the marine light beacon. This allows staff to obtain the current alarm signal of the marine light beacon in real time, realize remote monitoring of the location and status of the marine light beacon, and reduce the probability of equipment on the marine light beacon being stolen.

[0008] Optionally, an alarm device electrically connected to the control module is installed on the lamp post, and the alarm device is an audible alarm.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor, the control module receives the alarm signal output by the infrared sensor, and the control module controls the alarm device to emit an audible alarm to alert the suspicious person and reduce the probability of equipment being stolen from the offshore lighthouse.

[0010] Optionally, the communication module is a GPRS communication module.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the GPRS communication module is responsible for receiving the coordinate information and alarm signals sent by the control module, and sending the coordinate information and alarm signals to the smart terminal or network server. The smart terminal then accesses the network server, thereby enabling staff to remotely obtain the current coordinate information and alarm signals of the marine lighthouse.

[0012] Optionally, the positioning module is a GPS positioning module.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the GPS positioning module is used to obtain the coordinate information of the current marine lighthouse in real time and send the corresponding coordinate information to the control module.

[0014] Optionally, a support frame is installed on the light post, and a navigation light is installed on the support frame. The navigation light is electrically connected to the control module.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the navigation light flashes on the support frame to warn nearby ships and reduce the possibility of ships colliding with the sea beacon.

[0016] Optionally, three cameras are mounted on the outside of the support frame, with the three cameras mounted at a 120-degree angle on the support frame, and all three cameras are electrically connected to the control module.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the images captured by the camera generate monitoring information, which is then sent to a smart terminal or network server. The smart terminal then accesses the network server, allowing staff to obtain the ship's monitoring information in a timely manner. The three cameras, positioned at a 120-degree angle, minimize blind spots and achieve full monitoring coverage.

[0018] Optionally, a battery pack is installed inside the electrical control box, and the control modules of the battery pack are connected by wires.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery pack is used to power the control module.

[0020] Optionally, a solar panel is installed on the lamp post, and the solar panel is connected to the battery pack via a wire.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the solar panel converts the sun's light energy into electrical energy to power the battery pack.

[0022] Optionally, a wind turbine is installed on the lamp post, and the wind turbine is connected to the battery pack via a wire.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the wind turbine converts wind energy into electrical energy to power the battery pack.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor outputs an alarm signal to the communication module, which then sends it to the smart terminal or network server. The smart terminal then accesses the network server to obtain the alarm signal of the current location of the marine light beacon, thereby enabling staff to obtain the current alarm signal of the marine light beacon in real time, realize remote monitoring of the location and status of the marine light beacon, and reduce the probability of equipment on the marine light beacon being stolen. 2. When a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor, the infrared sensor confirms that the suspicious person is within the detection range.

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0030] This application discloses an intelligent monitoring device suitable for marine lighthouses.

[0031] like Figure 1 A smart monitoring device for offshore light beacons includes a fixed base 2 and a light beacon post 1. The light beacon post 1 is fixedly installed above the fixed base 2. A climbing ladder 11 is installed on one side of the light beacon post 1, and a safety fence 12 is installed on the top of the light beacon post 1. The climbing ladder 11 facilitates personnel to access the top of the light beacon post 1 for maintenance or equipment replacement, and the safety fence 12 improves the safety of personnel operating on the top of the light beacon post 1.

[0032] like Figure 2 An electrical control box 3 is installed on the top of the lamp post 1, and a battery pack 34 is installed inside the electrical control box 3. A solar panel 6 and a wind turbine 7 are installed on the lamp post 1. The solar panel 6 and the battery pack 34 are connected by wires, and the wind turbine 7 and the battery pack 34 are connected by wires. The solar panel 6 converts solar energy into electrical energy to power the battery pack 34; the wind turbine 7 converts wind energy into electrical energy to power the battery pack 34.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The electrical control box 3 houses a positioning module 31, a communication module 32, and a control module 33. The positioning module 31 is electrically connected to the control module 33, the infrared sensor 122 is electrically connected to the control module 33, and the control module 33 is electrically connected to the communication module 32. The communication module 32 communicates with the intelligent terminal 8 or the network server 9. A battery pack 34 is connected to the control module 33 via wires, and the battery pack 34 supplies power to the control module 33. The control module 33 includes a coordinate information input terminal, an alarm signal input terminal, a monitoring information input terminal, a ship distance information input terminal, a first output terminal, and a second output terminal.

[0034] In this embodiment, the coordinate information input terminal of the control module 33 is electrically connected to the positioning module 31, and the first output terminal of the control module 33 is electrically connected to the communication module 32. The positioning module 31 is used to acquire the coordinate information of the current maritime light beacon in real time and send the corresponding coordinate information to the control module 33. The control module 33 sends the received coordinate information to the communication module 32 through the first output terminal, and the communication module 32 sends it to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9 to obtain the coordinate information of the current maritime light beacon, thereby enabling staff to acquire the coordinate information of the current maritime light beacon in real time. In this embodiment, the positioning module 31 is a GPS positioning module, which is used to acquire the coordinate information of the current maritime light beacon in real time and send the corresponding coordinate information to the control module 33.

[0035] The communication module 32 is a GPRS communication module. The GPRS communication module is responsible for receiving coordinate information sent by the control module 33 through the first output terminal, and sending the coordinate information to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9, thereby enabling staff to remotely obtain the current coordinate information of the marine lighthouse.

[0036] The infrared sensor 122 includes an infrared emitter and an alarm signal output. The alarm signal output of the infrared sensor 122 is electrically connected to the alarm signal input of the control module 33. During installation, the infrared emitter of the infrared sensor 122 faces the climbing ladder 11 on one side of the lighthouse post 1. When there are no suspicious persons within the detection range of the infrared sensor 122, the infrared sensor 122 operates normally. When a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor 122, the suspicious person's body will refract the infrared light. When the infrared sensor 122 receives the refracted infrared light, it confirms that the suspicious person is within the detection range. At this time, the infrared sensor 122 outputs an alarm signal to the control module 33. The control module 33 sends the received alarm signal to the communication module 32 through the first output, and the communication module 32 sends it to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9 to obtain the alarm signal. Staff can obtain the current alarm signal of the marine lighthouse in real time, and staff can promptly know the time and location of suspicious persons entering the climbing ladder 11, thereby further improving the safety of the marine lighthouse.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 An alarm device 13, which is electrically connected to the control module 33, is installed on the light post 1. The alarm device 13 is an audible alarm. The second output terminal of the control module 33 is electrically connected to the alarm device 13. When a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor 122, the infrared sensor 122 outputs an alarm signal to the control module 33. The control module 33 receives the alarm signal output by the infrared sensor and controls the alarm device 13 to immediately emit an audible alarm through the second output terminal to alert suspicious persons in the vicinity, thereby reducing the probability of the equipment on the offshore light post being stolen.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 A small AIS base station 123 is installed on the safety fence 12. The small AIS base station 123 is electrically connected to the control module. The small AIS base station 123 can monitor the navigation dynamics of ships with shipborne AIS and monitor the surrounding environment of the beacon in real time. AIS (Automatic Identification System for Ships) is composed of shore-based (base station) facilities and shipborne equipment. It is a new type of digital navigation aid system and equipment that integrates network technology, modern communication technology, computer technology and electronic information display technology. AIS is existing technology and will not be described in this application.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3Several small target detection radars 14 are installed around the outer side of the light post 1. The small target detection radars 14 are electrically connected to the control module 33 and are used to monitor the movement of non-cooperative small targets (small fishing boats, smuggling boats, buoys, etc.) in the waterway. The small target detection radar 14 includes a pulse transmitter, an antenna receiver, and a ship distance information output terminal. The ship distance information input terminal of the control module 33 is electrically connected to the ship distance information output terminal of the small target detection radar 14. During installation, the transmitter of the small target detection radar 14 faces the outer perimeter of the light beacon 1, pointing towards the sea. It emits electromagnetic waves into the sea through the pulse transmitter. When a ship appears at sea, some of the electromagnetic wave energy is reflected back to the antenna receiver of the small target detection radar 14. The distance between the ship and the light beacon at sea is measured as the ship distance information. The small target detection radar 14 outputs the ship distance information to the control module 33. The control module 33 sends the received ship distance information to the communication module 32 through the first output terminal. The communication module 32 then sends it to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9 to obtain the ship distance information near the light beacon at sea. This allows staff to obtain the ship distance information near the light beacon at sea in real time and monitor the dynamics of non-cooperative small targets (small fishing boats, smuggling boats, buoys, etc.) in the waterway.

[0040] A support frame 4 is installed on the light beacon 1, and a navigation light 41 is installed on the support frame 4. The navigation light 41 flashes on the support frame 4 to warn nearby ships and reduce the possibility of ships colliding with the light beacon at sea.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Three cameras 5 are mounted on the outside of the support frame 4 at a 120-degree angle. All three cameras 5 are electrically connected to the monitoring information input terminal of the control module 33. The 120-degree angle minimizes blind spots, achieving full monitoring coverage. The cameras 5 are constantly on 24 hours a day, continuously monitoring the environment near the sea beacon. While monitoring the area near the climbing ladder 11, they also monitor buoys and ship movement near the sea beacon. The images captured by the cameras 5 generate monitoring information and are output to the control module 33. The control module 33 sends the monitoring information to the communication module 32 via its first output terminal, which then sends it to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9 to obtain the monitoring information. Staff receive the monitoring information from the cameras to obtain images of ships approaching the sea beacon.

[0042] The implementation principle of an intelligent monitoring device for offshore lighthouses according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When there are no suspicious persons within the detection range of the infrared sensor 122, the infrared sensor 122 operates normally; when a suspicious person is within the detection range of the infrared sensor 122, the suspicious person's body will refract infrared rays. When the infrared sensor 122 receives the refracted infrared rays, it proves that the suspicious person is within the detection range. At this time, the infrared sensor 122 outputs an alarm signal to the control module 33. The control module 33 receives the alarm signal output by the infrared sensor and controls the alarm device 13 to immediately emit an audible alarm to alert suspicious persons in the vicinity. At the same time, the control module 33 outputs an alarm signal to the communication module 32, which sends it to the smart terminal 8 or the network server 9. The smart terminal 8 then accesses the network server 9 to obtain the alarm signal. Staff can obtain the current alarm signal of the offshore lighthouse in real time and promptly know the time and location when a suspicious person enters the climbing ladder 11, thereby further improving the safety of the offshore lighthouse.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
