Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of navigation aids technology, and in particular to a buoy device for underwater environmental monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] Buoys are specialized devices that float on or in water, primarily used for marking and positioning, environmental monitoring, or auxiliary operations. For example, navigation buoys mark safe routes and guide directions, monitoring buoys collect water quality and temperature data, and fishery buoys mark the location of fishing nets. Based on their function, they can be divided into conventional functional buoys and professional monitoring buoys. Conventional functional buoys are mainly for marking and warning, with simple structures and low costs. Professional monitoring buoys integrate precision equipment and can collect and transmit data. Therefore, there is a particular need for a buoy device for underwater environmental monitoring.

[0003] Chinese patent CN220054081U, published on November 21, 2023, discloses a buoy. Depending on the size of the waves in the sea area, an appropriate number of counterweights are installed at the bottom of the buoy's lower body to increase the weight and draft of the buoy, thereby improving its stability and safety. However, during long-term use, the lamp cover is easily damaged and corroded by seawater and microorganisms, which reduces its light transmission performance, weakens its indication effect, and may even have an adverse effect on the lamp tube. Due to the lack of an effective lamp cover disassembly and assembly structure, subsequent surface maintenance operations are relatively cumbersome. Staff need to spend more time and manpower to complete the disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly steps, which significantly increases the complexity of the maintenance process and the operating cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a buoy device for underwater environmental monitoring to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a buoy device for underwater environmental monitoring, comprising a buoy body, a tailpipe fixedly connected to one side surface of the buoy body, a mounting frame fixedly connected to one side surface of the buoy body, a mounting plate fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting frame, and a disassembly and assembly mechanism provided on one side surface of the mounting plate. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a mounting plate. One side surface of the mounting plate has a threaded connection groove, a circular groove, and a sliding groove. A spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the circular groove. A circular insert is fixedly connected to one side surface of the spring. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side surface of the circular insert. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to one side surface of the connecting block. A groove is formed on one side surface of the sliding plate. A protrusion is fixedly connected to one side surface of the sliding plate. A limit block is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting plate. A connecting ring is threaded into the inner side of the threaded connection groove. A fixing groove is formed on one side surface of the connecting ring. A lampshade is fixedly connected to one side surface of the connecting ring. A lamp tube is provided on one side surface of the mounting plate. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting plate.

[0006] Preferably, the sealing ring is made of nitrile rubber, the size of the sealing ring is adapted to the size of the lampshade, and the size of the connecting ring is adapted to the size of the threaded connecting groove.

[0007] Preferably, the protrusions are provided in multiples of the same size and are arranged at equal distances along the side surface of the sliding plate away from the connecting block, and the sliding plate and the mounting plate are slidably connected.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting blocks are provided in two identical sizes, and the grooves are provided in two identical sizes, and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the sliding plate. The cross-section of the limiting blocks is designed in an "L" shape, and the dimensions of the limiting blocks and the grooves are adapted to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the circular insert is adapted to the size of the fixing groove, and the buoy body, tailpipe, mounting bracket, mounting plate and mounting disc are located on the same vertical horizontal line.

[0010] Preferably, the circular groove is adapted to the size of the spring and the circular insert, and the circular groove and the sliding groove are connected.

[0011] Preferably, the dimensions of the connecting block and the sliding groove are matched, and the vertical central axis of the connecting block is perpendicular to the horizontal central axis of the sliding plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The precise engagement of the connecting ring and the threaded groove initially secures the lampshade to the mounting plate. The locking effect of the circular insert after being inserted into the fixing groove further enhances the fixing effect, effectively preventing the lampshade from loosening or shifting when the buoy is affected by external forces such as water flow and wave movement underwater. At the same time, the nitrile rubber sealing ring fits tightly against the outer wall of the lampshade. Nitrile rubber itself has excellent oil resistance, wear resistance, and water resistance, and can maintain good elasticity underwater for a long time. It tightly fills the gap between the lampshade and the mounting plate, completely preventing water, silt, microorganisms, and other impurities from entering the lampshade. This provides a dry and clean working environment for the lamp tube, ensuring long-term stable light emission, preventing lamp tube damage caused by impurities, extending the lamp tube's service life, and reducing equipment maintenance and replacement costs. Staff can quickly remove the lamp cover to inspect or replace the internal lamp tubes. They can also clean the surface and interior of the lamp cover, removing adhering mud, algae, and other impurities to ensure its light transmittance and allow the light emitted by the lamp tubes to penetrate normally, meeting the lighting requirements during underwater monitoring. Compared to traditional buoy devices that require disassembly of multiple complex components for maintenance, this significantly shortens maintenance time and reduces maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an underwater environmental monitoring buoy device, including a buoy body 1, a tailpipe 2 fixedly connected to one side surface of the buoy body 1, a mounting frame 3 fixedly connected to one side surface of the buoy body 1, a mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to one side surface of the mounting frame 3, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism 5 provided on one side surface of the mounting plate 4; the disassembly / assembly mechanism 5 includes a mounting disc 501, a threaded connection groove 502 formed on one side surface of the mounting disc 501, a circular groove 503 formed on one side surface of the mounting disc 501, a sliding groove 504 formed on one side surface of the mounting disc 501, and a spring 505 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the circular groove 503, and a spring 505 fixedly connected to one side surface of the spring 505. A circular insert 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the circular insert 506. A connecting block 507 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 507. A sliding plate 508 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 508. A groove 509 is formed on one side of the sliding plate 508. A protrusion 510 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 508. A limit block 511 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 501. A connecting ring 512 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded connecting groove 502. A fixing groove 513 is formed on one side of the connecting ring 512. A lamp cover 514 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting ring 512. A lamp tube 515 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 501. A fixed lamp cover 514 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 501. The lampshade 514 is connected to a sealing ring 516. Through the arrangement of the mounting plate 501, threaded connection groove 502, circular groove 503, sliding groove 504, spring 505, circular insert 506, connecting block 507, sliding plate 508, groove 509, limiting block 511, connecting ring 512, fixing groove 513, lampshade 514, and sealing ring 516, in use, the sliding plate 508 is pushed along the sliding groove 504, causing the connecting block 507 to drive the circular insert 506 to retract into the circular groove 503, compressing the spring 505. Then, the connecting ring 512 on one side of the lampshade 514 is aligned with the threaded connection groove 502 of the mounting plate 501, and the connecting ring 512 is rotated clockwise until fully engaged. The nitrile rubber sealing ring 516 on the outer wall of the lampshade 514 is tightly attached to the surface of the mounting plate 501, which initially achieves fixation and sealing. The fixing groove 513 of the connecting ring 512 is precisely aligned with the circular groove 503 of the mounting plate 501. Then, the sliding plate 508 is released, and the spring 505 in the circular groove 503 rebounds, pushing the circular insert 506 into the fixing groove 513 to complete the locking. At the same time, the sliding plate 508 is synchronously reset under the action of the connecting block 507. The groove 509 on its surface fits with the "L"-shaped limiting block 511 of the mounting plate 501, limiting the displacement of the sliding plate 508 and ensuring a stable locking state. No tools are needed, which greatly shortens the maintenance time and reduces the maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0017] Furthermore, the sealing ring 516 is made of nitrile rubber. The size of the sealing ring 516 is compatible with that of the lamp cover 514, and the size of the connecting ring 512 is compatible with that of the threaded connecting groove 502. With the setting of the sealing ring 516, the nitrile rubber sealing ring 516 has excellent water resistance and aging resistance during use. Even if the buoy device is immersed in different water environments such as fresh water and seawater for a long time, the sealing ring 516 can always maintain stable physical properties and will not crack, deform or lose elasticity due to water erosion, effectively preventing water from seeping in from the connection gap between the lamp cover 514 and the mounting plate 501.

[0018] Furthermore, multiple protrusions 510 of the same size are provided and are arranged at equal distances along the side surface of the sliding plate 508 away from the connecting block 507. The sliding plate 508 and the mounting plate 501 are slidably connected. With the provision of protrusions 510, multiple protrusions 510 can effectively increase the friction between the sliding plate 508 and the hand during use, ensuring smoother and more stable operation.

[0019] Furthermore, two limit blocks 511 of the same size and two grooves 509 of the same size are provided, and they are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the sliding plate 508. The cross-section of the limit block 511 is "L" shaped. The size of the limit block 511 and the groove 509 are adapted to each other. Through the setting of the limit block 511 and the groove 509, when in use, the two limit blocks 511 can restrict the sliding plate 508 through the groove 509, so as to ensure that the sliding plate 508 always maintains the predetermined path when the sliding plate 508 is pushed.

[0020] Furthermore, the circular insert 506 is sized to match the fixing groove 513. The buoy body 1, tail tube 2, mounting bracket 3, mounting plate 4, and mounting disk 501 are located on the same vertical horizontal line. With the setting of the circular insert 506 and the fixing groove 513, the circular insert 506 can be firmly locked in the fixing groove 513 during use, restricting the rotational displacement of the connecting ring 512, avoiding problems such as loosening and stripping of the threaded connection due to long-term stress, and ensuring that the lamp cover 514 is always tightly fixed on the mounting disk 501, fundamentally eliminating the risk of the lamp cover 514 falling off.

[0021] Furthermore, the circular groove 503 is adapted to the size of the spring 505 and the circular insert 506. The circular groove 503 is connected to the sliding groove 504. Through the arrangement of the circular groove 503, the spring 505 and the circular insert 506, the circular groove 503 can guide the spring 505 and the circular insert 506 during use, ensuring that the spring 505 and the circular insert 506 are not prone to displacement or shaking, effectively improving the stability of the mechanism.

[0022] Furthermore, the dimensions of the connecting block 507 and the sliding groove 504 are matched, and the vertical central axis of the connecting block 507 is perpendicular to the horizontal central axis of the sliding plate 508. Through the setting of the connecting block 507 and the sliding groove 504, the sliding groove 504 can provide a guiding function for the connecting block 507 during use, ensuring that the connecting block 507 and the sliding plate 508 are not prone to loosening, and greatly improving the sealing performance of the mechanism.

[0023] Working principle: When installing the lampshade 514, first push the sliding plate 508, causing the connecting block 507 to drive the circular insert 506 to retract into the circular groove 503, compressing the spring 505. Then, align the connecting ring 512 on one side of the lampshade 514 with the threaded connection groove 502 of the mounting plate 501, and rotate the connecting ring 512 clockwise until fully engaged. At this time, the outer wall of the lampshade 514 is tightly against the nitrile rubber sealing ring 516 on the surface of the mounting plate 501, initially achieving fixation and sealing. The fixing groove 513 of the connecting ring 512 is precisely aligned with the circular groove 503 of the mounting plate 501. Then, release the sliding plate 508, and the spring 505 in the circular groove 503 rebounds, pushing the circular insert 506 into the fixing groove 513 to complete locking. At the same time, the sliding plate 508 is synchronously reset under the action of the connecting block 507, and the groove 509 on its surface aligns with the threaded connection groove 502 of the mounting plate 501. The L-shaped limiting block 511 fits to restrict the sliding plate 508 from shifting, ensuring a stable locking state. When disassembling the lamp cover 514, push the protrusions 510 on the sliding plate 508 by hand. Multiple protrusions 510 are arranged at equal intervals to increase hand friction and facilitate force application. The sliding plate 508 slides along the mounting plate 501, and the connecting block 507 pulls the circular insert 506 into the circular groove 503, compressing the spring 505 until the circular insert 506 completely disengages from the fixing groove 513 of the connecting ring 512, releasing the locking state. Then rotate the lamp cover 514 counterclockwise to make the connecting ring 512 unscrew from the threaded connecting groove 502 of the mounting plate 501. After removing the lamp cover 514, the internal lamp tube 515 can be inspected or the lamp cover 514 itself can be cleaned. This completes the use of an underwater environmental monitoring buoy device.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
