Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, specifically a multi-sensor integrated hydrological monitoring unmanned vessel device that can be quickly assembled and disassembled. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) have become an important tool in the field of hydrological monitoring. However, the sensors of existing hydrological monitoring USVs are mostly fixedly installed (such as by direct welding or multiple bolts) or require complex wiring to connect to the main control system of the vessel. When switching monitoring tasks, multiple components need to be disassembled, rewiring and parameters need to be adjusted, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of "rapid response and instant switching" in emergency monitoring. Different brands and types of hydrological sensors have different interface specifications. Existing USVs are mostly customized integrations that only support specific sensor models. When replacing incompatible equipment, the hull structure or main control program needs to be modified, resulting in poor scalability and difficulty in flexibly responding to diverse monitoring parameter requirements. To address this, we propose a multi-sensor integrated hydrological monitoring USV device that can be quickly disassembled and assembled. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a multi-sensor integrated hydrological monitoring unmanned vessel device that can be quickly assembled and disassembled.

The unmanned surface vessel 1 has a set of mounting slots on both its front and rear sides. These slots are located on the outer side of the hull and are not connected to the vessel's internal cavity. The monitoring component 200 includes a mounting box 2. Inside the mounting box 2, a rechargeable lithium battery 21, a main controller 22, and a hydrological sensor 23 are fixedly installed.

The top of the box cover 28 has a first through hole evenly distributed throughout. The top of the mounting box 2 has a first threaded hole evenly distributed throughout. A first bolt 291 is rotatably installed in the first through hole and screwed into the first threaded hole. The box cover 28 is fixed to the top of the mounting box 2 by the first bolt 291. The bottom of the mounting box 2 is through... An avoidance opening is provided, through which the monitoring end of the hydrological sensor 23 passes. A first sealing sleeve 26 is installed between the monitoring end of the hydrological sensor 23 and the avoidance opening, sealing the connection gap between the hydrological sensor 23 and the mounting box 2. A set of connecting sleeves 27 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the box cover 28. The mounting groove extends through the upper and lower sides of the unmanned vessel 1. A set of positioning blocks 12 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the inner sidewall of the mounting groove. A first sealing sleeve 27 is fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the mounting groove and the outer sidewall of the positioning blocks 12. A sealing gasket 11 is provided. A set of positioning grooves are provided on both the left and right sides of the mounting box 2. The positioning block 12 is slidably set in the positioning groove. The first sealing gasket 11 is in contact with the outer wall of the mounting box 2. The first sealing gasket 11 seals the connection gap between the mounting box 2, the unmanned vessel 1, and the positioning block 12. The main controller 22 is electrically connected to the rechargeable lithium battery 21, the hydrological sensor 23, and the signal transceiver 24. The two sets of signal transceivers 24 operate at different frequency bands, which can prevent signal interference between the two sets of signal transceivers 24.
[0018] The quick-release assembly 300 includes a bidirectional lead screw 31. Two sets of internally threaded sliders 32 are evenly screwed onto the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 31. A connecting plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the internally threaded sliders 32. Two sets of fixing pins 35 are evenly fixed on opposite sides of the two sets of connecting plates 3. A handwheel 33 is fixedly installed on the right side of the bidirectional lead screw 31. A second through hole is opened through the right side of the handwheel 33, and a second bolt 34 is rotatably installed in the second through hole. A sliding groove is opened on the top of the unmanned vessel 1. The bidirectional lead screw 31 is rotatably installed in the sliding groove. The right side of the bidirectional lead screw 31 passes through the right side of the sliding groove and connects to the handwheel 33. A second threaded hole is opened on the right side of the unmanned vessel 1. The second bolt 34 is screwed into the second threaded hole. The fixing pins 35 are inserted into the connecting sleeve 2. Inside 7, the counterweight assembly 400 includes a counterweight block 4, a magnetic block 42 is embedded in the bottom of the counterweight block 4, a clearance groove is opened on the top of the counterweight block 4, and a handle 43 is fixedly installed in the clearance groove.

The counterweight assembly 400 and the iron block 41 are both rust-proofed. The magnetic block 42 is magnetically attracted to the iron block 41. The magnetic block 42 corresponds to the top of the counterweight block 4 and the handle 43. The outer side wall of the unmanned boat 1 is evenly printed with a baseline 13. The inner side wall of the slide is evenly provided with a first drainage groove, and the inner side wall of the groove is provided with a second drainage groove. The first drainage groove and the second drainage groove can prevent water from accumulating in the slide and the groove, respectively.
[0019] A method for using a multi-sensor integrated hydrological monitoring unmanned surface vessel device that can be quickly assembled and disassembled: Step 1: Place the mounting box 2 into the mounting slot of the unmanned vessel 1, and insert the positioning block 12 into the positioning slot of the mounting box 2. Then, rotate the handwheel 33 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 31 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 31 drives the two sets of internal threaded sliders 32 to move inward synchronously, which in turn drives the two sets of connecting plates 3 to move inward synchronously. The connecting plates 3 drive the fixing pin 35 to be inserted into the connecting sleeve 27. In this way, the two sets of monitoring components 200 can be quickly fixed in the mounting slot of the unmanned vessel 1. At this time, the second bolt 34 is aligned with the second thread of the unmanned vessel 1. The second bolt 34 is screwed through the second through hole of the handwheel 33 and the second threaded hole to lock the handwheel 33, thereby ensuring the reliability of the direct connection between the monitoring component 200 and the unmanned vessel 1. Similarly, after separating the second bolt 34 from the unmanned vessel 1, the handwheel 33 can be rotated in reverse to separate the fixing pin 35 from the connecting sleeve 27. In this way, the two sets of monitoring components 200 can be unlocked at the same time, so that the monitoring component 200 equipped with different types of first sealing sleeves 26 can be quickly replaced.
[0020] Step 2: After the monitoring component 200 and the unmanned boat 1 are installed, place the unmanned boat 1 on a calm water surface. Then, according to the tilt angle of the unmanned boat 1, put counterweights 4 into the grooves opened at different positions on the unmanned boat 1 to adjust the balance of the boat. During this process, the reference line 13 can help the user to observe the tilt of the unmanned boat 1 more clearly. When the counterweights 4 are put into the grooves, the magnet 42 will be attracted to the iron block 41. When multiple sets of counterweights 4 are stacked in the grooves, the iron block 41 at the bottom of the upper counterweight 4 will be attracted to the top of the lower counterweight 4 and the handle 43, thus ensuring the stability of the counterweights 4 in the grooves. The magnet 42 can be used by the user to easily remove the counterweights 4 from the grooves with hooks or other tools.
[0021] Step 3: After the tilt of the unmanned vessel 1 is adjusted, it can be placed into the water area to be monitored. At this time, the rechargeable lithium battery 21 supplies power to the main controller 22, the hydrological sensor 23 and the signal transceiver 24. The main controller 22 transmits the monitoring data of the hydrological sensor 23 to the terminal device through the signal transceiver 24.
