Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of marine monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a marine organism monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Marine water quality monitoring is a crucial aspect of marine environmental protection and the safe operation of offshore platforms. Currently, water quality monitoring devices used in the marine environment (especially near offshore platforms), such as multi-parameter water quality sensors and optical sensors, need to be deployed in seawater for extended periods. However, the marine environment contains a large number of microorganisms, algae, barnacles, shellfish, and other organisms, which can easily attach to the probes and shells of monitoring devices, grow and reproduce, and cause biofouling.

[0003] Biofouling can cause a series of serious problems: First, fouling organisms directly cover the detection windows of optical or chemical sensors, severely interfering with light transmittance and chemical diffusion, resulting in serious distortion of monitoring data and a sharp drop in accuracy; second, biofouling increases the size and weight of the equipment, alters its hydrodynamic characteristics, and may cause the equipment to shift or be damaged in strong flow environments; third, biological metabolites may corrode equipment materials and shorten the equipment's service life.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for removing attached marine organisms are manual cleaning and mechanical cleaning. Manual cleaning is inefficient and easily affected by weather and sea conditions. Mechanical cleaning devices, on the other hand, are complex in structure and expensive. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a marine organism monitoring device with simple structure, good protection, automatic periodic cleaning and no impact on normal operation.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a marine organism monitoring device includes a protective cabin 1, a monitoring instrument 2, a cleaning brush 3, a lifting drive assembly 4, a connecting and fixing plate 5, and a power control compartment 6.

[0043] The protective cabin 1 includes a cabin body 7 and a detachable cover 8 located on the top of the cabin body 7; the cabin body 7 has multiple water-permeable holes 9 distributed on it, and the inner side wall of the cabin body 7 is provided with a ring of mounting plates 10 along the circumference.

[0044] The monitor 2 includes a monitor body 11 that is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 10 and a plurality of monitoring sensors 12 that are suspended from the bottom of the monitor body 11;

[0045] The cleaning brush plate 3 has multiple round holes, and each round hole is fitted with a cleaning ring 14 with a cleaning brush 13. The monitoring sensors 12 are inserted into the cleaning rings 14 one by one, and the cleaning brush 13 contacts the surface of the monitoring sensor 13. There are two guide columns 15 between the mounting plate 10 and the bottom plate of the cabin 7. The guide columns 15 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the cleaning brush plate 3. The guide columns 15 are fitted with sliding sleeves 16, and the two ends of the cleaning brush plate 3 are provided with crossbars 17 that connect to the sliding sleeves 16 on both sides.

[0046] The connecting fixing plate 5 is located above the protective chamber 1, and one end of the connecting fixing plate 5 is provided with an L-shaped plate 18 with threaded holes;

[0047] The lifting drive assembly 4 includes a lifting drive rod 19 mounted on the connecting fixing plate 5 and a push rod 20 connected to the lifting end of the lifting drive rod 19; the lower end of the push rod 20 passes through the through hole on the hatch cover 8 and extends into the cabin 7 to connect with the sliding sleeve 16, thereby pushing the sliding sleeve 16 to lift.

[0048] The power control compartment 6 is mounted on the connecting fixing plate 5. The power control compartment 6 includes a waterproof compartment 21, an energy storage device and a signal transmission module located inside the waterproof compartment 21, and a solar panel 22 located on the top of the waterproof compartment 21.

[0049] The working principle of the marine organism monitoring device described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0050] Monitoring Phase: The protective chamber 1 is submerged in seawater, which flows freely in and out through the permeable holes 9 on the chamber 7; the monitoring sensor 12 continuously collects environmental parameters such as water temperature, salinity, pH value, and dissolved oxygen, and transmits the collected data to the signal transmission module in the power control chamber 6, which wirelessly sends the data to the remote control center; the solar panel 22 converts light energy into electrical energy to charge the internal energy storage device (such as a battery); the energy storage device provides power to the entire system, including the monitoring instrument 2, the signal transmission module, and the lifting drive assembly 4; at this time, the cleaning brush 3 is in a stationary state.

[0051] Cleaning phase: At the preset cleaning time, the lifting drive rod 19 (such as an electric push rod or hydraulic rod) is activated, pushing the push rod 20 connected to it to rise and fall; the push rod 20 pushes the sliding sleeve 16 connected to it to rise and fall, and the sliding sleeve 16 moves smoothly along the guide column 15. Since the cleaning brush plate 3 is connected to the sliding sleeves 16 on both sides through the crossbar 17, the cleaning brush plate 3 also moves synchronously; the cleaning brush 13 installed in the cleaning ring 14 will scrape and scrub the surface of the monitoring sensor 12, peel off the attached marine organisms, and let them be discharged outside the cabin with the water flow through the water permeable hole.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the difference is that it also includes a detachable anti-collision cage 23 located on the outside of the protective compartment 1. The anti-collision cage 23 can protect the protective compartment 1 from impacts by floating objects, fishing nets, or marine life.

[0054] Example 3

[0055] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, based on Embodiment 2, the difference is that it also includes a cabin cleaning assembly. The cabin cleaning assembly includes a ring plate 24 sleeved on the outer wall of the cabin 7, a brush head 25 disposed on the inner wall of the ring plate 24, and a sliding block 26 connected to the ring plate 24. The brush head 25 contacts the outer wall of the cabin 7. A vertical groove 27 is provided on the side wall of the cabin 7, and the sliding block 26 is slidably disposed in the groove 27. The sliding block 26 is detachably connected to the lower end of the push rod 20. During the lifting and lowering process of the push rod 20, it will drive the sliding block 26 to move along the groove 27, thereby driving the cabin cleaning assembly to clean the outer wall of the cabin 7.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
