[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0022] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an embodiment of the present invention of a wave buoy capable of measuring water level data.
[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, a wave buoy capable of measuring water level data according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a buoy 1 and a sealing mechanism 6. The buoy 1 includes an outer shell 11 and a protective shell 12. The protective shell 12 is disposed on the outer shell 11. The sealing mechanism 6 includes a sealing ring 62 and a partition plate 64. One end of the outer shell 11 is provided with an installation groove 61. The sealing ring 62 is disposed in the installation groove 61. The outer shell 11 is provided with a connection groove 63. The partition plate 64 is disposed in the connection groove 63. The partition plate 64 is provided with a wiring groove 65.
[0024] The buoy 1 also includes a trapezoidal shell 2, a power supply component 3, a storage component 4, and a detection component 5. The trapezoidal shell 2 is located at the connection between the outer shell 11 and the protective shell 12. The power supply component 3 is located on the trapezoidal shell 2. The storage component 4 is located inside the outer shell 11. The detection component 5 is located inside the outer shell 11.
[0025] It should be noted that the buoy 1 described in this embodiment is a commercially available buoy 1 used for water level detection, and it integrates a detection unit (not shown in the figure), a data processing unit (not shown in the figure), and a transmission unit (not shown in the figure). Its main function is to detect changes in water level height and accurately transmit the acquired water level data to the data processing terminal. Since all buoys 1 used for water level detection are equipped with this structure, it will not be described in detail here.
[0026] Specifically, when water level data needs to be measured, staff can place buoy 1 in the specific water area where the measurement is required. The integrated detection unit of the buoy can detect changes in water level in real time, and the acquired water level data is processed by the data processing unit and then accurately transmitted to the data processing terminal via the transmission unit, thus providing data support for water level monitoring.
[0027] When installing the outer shell 11 and protective shell 12 of buoy 1, the relevant personnel will first place the battery integrated compartment 42 inside the outer shell 11 and fix it with the fixing plate 43. Then, the relevant personnel will splice the two partition plates 64 into a disc and fix it in the connecting groove 63 with bolts. At this time, the relevant personnel will place the trapezoidal shell 2 on the partition plate 64. At this time, the bottom of the trapezoidal shell 2 will be contacted and squeezed by the sealing ring 62 in the installation groove 61, so that it fills the installation groove 61 to achieve a sealing effect. At the same time, the structural sealant will be used to enhance the sealing effect. Finally, the solar panel 33 will be installed on the outer wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, and the protective shell 12 will be sleeved on the outside of the trapezoidal shell 2. The protective shell 12, the trapezoidal shell 2 and the outer shell 11 will be fixed with bolts.
[0028] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply component 3 includes a limiting block 32, a solar panel 33, and a positioning plate 34. The outer wall of the trapezoidal shell 2 is provided with a placement groove 31. The limiting block 32 is disposed on the trapezoidal shell 2, the solar panel 33 is disposed on the outer wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, and the positioning plate 34 is disposed on the trapezoidal shell 2.
[0029] The storage component 4 includes a support shell 41, a battery compartment 42, and a fixing plate 43. The support shell 41 is disposed inside the outer shell 11, the battery compartment 42 is disposed inside the support shell 41, and the fixing plate 43 is disposed on the battery compartment 42.
[0030] Specifically, when installing the solar panel 33, the relevant personnel insert one side of the solar panel 33 into the gap between the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32. At this time, both sides of the solar panel 33 will contact the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32 respectively. Then, the relevant personnel will fix the positioning plate 34 to one side of the trapezoidal shell 2 with bolts. At this time, one side of the positioning plate 34 will contact the solar panel 33. At the same time, due to the inclination of the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, when the solar panel 33 is inserted into the gap between the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32 and contacts the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, the positioning plate 34 can fix the solar panel 33 to the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2.
[0031] Meanwhile, relevant personnel will first install the battery integrated compartment 42 into the support shell 41 inside the outer shell 11, and then fix the fixing plate 43 to the support shell 41 with bolts, thereby fixing the battery integrated compartment 42 inside the support shell 41, and connecting the solar panel 33 to the battery integrated compartment 42 through wiring.
[0032] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the detection component 5 includes a mounting ring 52, a sensor 53, and a nut 54. The outer wall of the housing 11 has a connection hole 51. The mounting ring 52 is disposed in the connection hole 51. The sensor 53 is threadedly connected to the mounting ring 52, and the nut 54 is threadedly connected to the sensor 53.
[0033] It should be noted that the sensor 53 described in this embodiment includes a wave sensor 53, a temperature sensor 53, and a water level sensor 53. Its main functions are to monitor key parameters such as wave height, period, direction, and energy spectrum in real time through the wave sensor 53, monitor water temperature changes in real time through the temperature sensor 53, and convert the physical changes in liquid level height into measurable electrical signals through the water level sensor 53, and display the data measured by multiple sensors 53 on a relevant display device.
[0034] Specifically, the sensor 53 is connected to the mounting ring 52 by threads, and the position of the sensor 53 is restricted by the nut 54. Then, the mounting ring 52 is inserted into the connection hole 51 and fixed with structural adhesive.
[0035] Working principle: When installing the outer shell 11 and protective shell 12 of buoy 1, the relevant personnel will first place the battery compartment 42 inside the outer shell 11 and fix it with the fixing plate 43. Then, the relevant personnel will splice the two partition plates 64 into a disc and fix it in the connecting groove 63 with bolts. At this time, the relevant personnel will place the trapezoidal shell 2 on the partition plate 64. At this time, the bottom of the trapezoidal shell 2 will be contacted and squeezed by the sealing ring 62 in the installation groove 61, so that it fills the installation groove 61 to achieve a sealing effect. Finally, the solar panel 33 is installed on the outer wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, and the protective shell 12 is sleeved on the outside of the trapezoidal shell 2. The protective shell 12, the trapezoidal shell 2 and the outer shell 11 are fixed with bolts.
[0036] When installing the solar panel 33, the relevant personnel insert one side of the solar panel 33 into the gap between the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32. At this time, both sides of the solar panel 33 will contact the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32 respectively. Then, the relevant personnel will fix the positioning plate 34 to one side of the trapezoidal shell 2 with bolts. At this time, one side of the positioning plate 34 will contact the solar panel 33. At the same time, due to the inclination of the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, when the solar panel 33 is inserted into the gap between the trapezoidal shell 2 and the limiting block 32 and contacts the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2, the positioning plate 34 can fix the solar panel 33 to the side wall of the trapezoidal shell 2.
[0037] Meanwhile, relevant personnel will first install the battery integrated compartment 42 into the support shell 41 inside the outer shell 11, and then fix the fixing plate 43 to the support shell 41 with bolts, thereby fixing the battery integrated compartment 42 inside the support shell 41, and connecting the solar panel 33 to the battery integrated compartment 42 through wiring.
[0038] The sensor 53 is connected to the mounting ring 52 by threads, and the position of the sensor 53 is restricted by the nut 54. Then, the mounting ring 52 is inserted into the connection hole 51 and fixed with structural adhesive.
