Description

Floating ocean meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of marine measurement equipment, and in particular to a floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] To promote the effective utilization of offshore wind energy, such as offshore wind power generation, it is necessary to accurately monitor offshore wind resources, such as collecting offshore meteorological and hydrological data. The applicant has previously proposed a floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device capable of floating at sea, even in deep sea areas, to monitor offshore meteorological and hydrological data.

[0003] The stability of equipment while floating at sea is crucial for data accuracy. Due to the complex offshore environment, including waves and winds, equipment can experience heave, roll, and rotational motion—vertical and pendulum-like movements, as well as rotational motion around itself. This can affect data accuracy and complicate post-processing. Therefore, minimizing these motions is essential.

[0004] WO2022148427 discloses a floating measuring device, wherein a weight block connected by a thin rod is provided under the measuring frame to improve the overall stability of the floating measuring device.

[0005] CN218229316U discloses a water area buoy, wherein a counterweight assembly is provided below the buoy body, and the counterweight assembly comprises a column, a vertical baffle connected to the column, and a transverse baffle connected to the vertical baffle.

[0006] However, in the above structure, the open spaces between the thin rods or columns can still allow a large amount of water to flow through, so the components that can actually improve stability are mainly weights and baffles, and the stability improvement effect is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to provide a highly stable floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device, which further improves stability through an improved design of the counterweight.

[0008] The floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment according to this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device includes a float assembly; a central buoy assembly arranged in the float assembly; a counterweight arranged below the central buoy assembly, the counterweight being connected to the central buoy assembly via a plurality of columns, wherein side walls are arranged between the plurality of columns.

[0010] By adopting this technical solution, the side walls between the columns increase the lateral resistance to the seawater, thereby further reducing the rolling motion, making better use of space without significantly increasing equipment costs, and improving the stability of data acquisition.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the multiple columns include at least three columns, and the columns and the side walls are configured to enclose an internal space with the central buoy assembly and the counterweight; at least one water outlet is provided on the side wall.

[0012] By adopting this technical solution, after the device enters the water, seawater can enter through the water inlet into the tank-like interior space enclosed by the side walls and columns. Without significantly increasing the material used for the counterweight, the weight of the counterweight is greatly increased, allowing the device to quickly return to its original position after rolling motion. The increased weight also reduces heave motion, ensuring the accuracy of the collected data.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the water inlet is only provided on one side of the side wall close to the counterweight.

[0014] By adopting this technical solution, when the equipment is subjected to heaving motion, the upper half of the side wall may float to the surface due to the heaving or rolling motion. Since the water inlet is only arranged on the side close to the counterweight, the seawater in the internal space does not flow out, the deadweight of the counterweight and therefore the center of gravity remain unchanged and exert a force on the equipment to return to its original posture or make the equipment have a tendency to return to its original posture.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the water inlet is configured as a water-passing gap and is arranged at a position where the side wall is connected to the counterweight.

[0016] By adopting this technical solution, when the device is pulled out of the sea, for example for maintenance or replacement, the water in the internal space can be completely drained by gravity, facilitating maintenance and reducing the pressure of transportation. In addition, the design of the gap prevents foreign matter in the seawater from entering the internal space, reducing the risk of interference with measurements.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a wing plate is provided on the section of the central buoy assembly extending below the float assembly, the wing plate extends to the float assembly, a vertical baffle is connected to the outer side of the column, at least one horizontal baffle is provided between the vertical baffles, and the horizontal baffle is connected to the vertical baffle and the side wall.

[0018] By adopting this technical solution, the wing plates exert tangential resistance on the seawater, which can reduce the rotational movement of the equipment. The use of transverse and vertical baffles further reduces the heave and rotational movement of the equipment.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a first hydrological monitoring device is provided inside the central buoy assembly, and the top of the central buoy assembly includes a circular platform, on which a first meteorological monitoring device is provided. The first meteorological monitoring device is arranged in a rectangular shape, so that the platform has space for arranging a second meteorological monitoring device on both sides of the first meteorological monitoring device, and the first hydrological monitoring device and the second meteorological monitoring device are arranged so that the redundancy of the monitored data is at least twice.

[0020] By adopting this technical solution, operation and maintenance personnel can have more space to operate and maintain meteorological monitoring devices, such as radars. At the same time, the extra space can be used to install more meteorological monitoring devices, such as a second meteorological monitoring device with the same function as the first meteorological monitoring device, such as a sensor, such as a communication device, a navigation safety monitoring device, a meteorological data monitoring device, etc., to increase the redundancy of data collection and provide reliability of data collection. The first hydrological monitoring device, such as a wave sensor, is provided with a redundant motion sensor. Among them, for example, the data type of the second meteorological monitoring device and the data type of the first hydrological monitoring device can be converted to each other, that is, redundancy is achieved, for example, by redundancy of data quantity and / or redundancy of data type.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the central float assembly also includes a plurality of vertically arranged mounting columns, a plurality of support plates are provided on the mounting columns, at least one solar panel assembly is provided on one pair of support plates of adjacent mounting columns, wherein different solar panel assemblies are connected to different pairs of support plates, and the solar panel assembly includes a support provided on the support plate, a support beam hingedly connected to the support, a solar panel rack detachably connected to the support beam, and a first solar panel installed on the solar panel rack.

[0022] This technical solution reduces interference between adjacent solar panel assemblies, making installation easier and more efficient. During maintenance, the solar panel assemblies can be pivoted away from the frame, and therefore away from the weather monitoring device. This pivoting arrangement increases the space available for maintenance personnel. The removable connection between the support beam and the solar panel rack also enhances operational convenience, eliminating the need for on-site replacement and complex wiring.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the first solar panel and the solar panel frame are pressed together by a pressing block and fixed by fasteners.

[0024] This technical solution makes the installation and removal of solar panels much easier. It also allows for easier switching between different solar panel types, such as choosing between single-glass and double-glass panels based on actual needs, increasing product diversity and flexibility. Furthermore, this technical solution eliminates the need for traditional solar panel frames, further reducing the weight above the float assembly and improving the stability of the equipment.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a guardrail assembly is provided on the float assembly, and the guardrail assembly is surrounded by the periphery of the central buoy assembly. The guardrail assembly includes an inner ring, an outer ring and an anti-falling portion arranged between the inner ring and the float assembly. At least one reinforcing rib is provided between the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring, the outer ring and the reinforcing rib form a frame structure, and at least one second solar panel can be arranged in the frame structure.

[0026] This technical solution creates a truss-like frame structure between the inner and outer rings, enhancing the guardrail assembly's protective capabilities. Furthermore, utilizing the space between the inner and outer rings allows for the installation of more solar panels without significantly increasing the device's size, thereby increasing the device's overall power generation capacity.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the at least one second solar panel is arranged on the top of the frame structure.

[0028] By adopting this technical solution, the second solar panel can be installed at a position of the equipment relatively far away from the sea water, reducing the possibility of damage, and the upward orientation can maximize the power of the solar panel.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0030] 1. After the device enters the water, seawater can flow through the water inlet into the tank-like interior space enclosed by the side walls and columns. Without significantly increasing the material used for the counterweight, the weight of the counterweight is greatly increased, allowing the device to quickly return to its original position after a roll motion. The increased weight also reduces heave motion, ensuring the accuracy of the collected data.

[0031] 2. The guardrail assembly forms a truss-like frame structure, enhancing its protective function. Furthermore, the space between the inner and outer rings allows for the installation of more solar panels without significantly increasing the size of the equipment, thereby increasing the overall power generation capacity of the equipment.

[0032] 3. The circular platform design provides more space for maintenance personnel to operate and maintain weather monitoring equipment, such as radar. The extra space can also be used to install more weather monitoring equipment, such as sensors, to increase data collection redundancy and improve data collection reliability.

[0033] The optimized installation method of solar panel components improves the convenience of operation, maintenance and installation, and the detachable installation design of some components also improves the overall flexibility and diversity of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-8.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses a floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device.

[0045] 1 , the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device includes a float assembly 1 and a central buoy assembly 2 installed in the float assembly 1. In this embodiment, the float assembly 1 is composed of four PE floats, specifically linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) floats.

[0046] In this embodiment, a central buoy assembly 2 is mounted in the center of the float assembly 1 and extends at least partially from above the float assembly 1 through the center of the float assembly 1 to below the float assembly 1. A first hydrological monitoring device (not shown), such as a wave sensor, is mounted within the central buoy assembly 2, thus shielding it from seawater contact. The wave sensor includes a redundant motion sensor for data measurement, for example, with at least two-fold redundancy, preferably three-fold redundancy.

[0047] An open sea well 10 is provided in the floating body for installing a second hydrological monitoring device (not shown), such as a hydrological sensor, such as a temperature, salinity, current sensor, etc., which is therefore in contact with the seawater.

[0048] As can also be seen in Figure 1, the portion of the central buoy assembly 2 above the float assembly 1 further includes vertically arranged mounting posts 24. In this embodiment, there are four mounting posts 24, whose cross-sections form the four corners of a square. Multiple support plates 240 are mounted on the mounting posts 24. Solar panel assemblies 25 are mounted on pairs of support plates 240 adjacent to the mounting posts 24. Specifically, different solar panel assemblies 25 are connected to different pairs of support plates 240, thereby preventing interference between adjacent solar panel assemblies 25 during installation and improving space utilization.

[0049] The top of the central buoy assembly 2 includes a circular platform 21. A first meteorological monitoring device 22 is provided on the platform 21. In this embodiment, the first meteorological monitoring device 22 is, for example, a laser radar wind measuring device.

[0050] Figure 1 also shows the guardrail assembly 4, which comprises an inner ring 41 mounted around the perimeter of the float assembly 1, an outer ring 42 connected and reinforced to the inner ring 41 via ribs 43, and a fall prevention member 45 mounted between the float assembly 1 and the inner ring 41. The inner ring 41, outer ring 42, and ribs 43 form a truss-like frame structure, enhancing the strength of the guardrail assembly 4. Due to the large hollow space within the frame structure, the fall prevention member 45 is installed to protect operation and maintenance personnel from falling from the equipment. The fall prevention member 45 can be, but is not limited to, a floor or a fall prevention net.

[0051] In this embodiment, an additional solar panel, referred to herein as a second solar panel 44, is installed atop the frame structure, more specifically in the area between the inner ring 41 and the top of the outer ring 42. This increases power generation without occupying space in the area surrounding the central buoy assembly 2. Since the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment of this application is not particularly large, yet requires high energy, fully utilizing space to increase the equipment's power generation capacity is both significant and important. In other embodiments, the second solar panel 44 can be installed on the guardrail assembly 4, more specifically, at any suitable location within the frame structure, depending on the actual marine environment or functional requirements.

[0052] Figure 1 also shows a counterweight 30 below the float assembly 1, which is fixedly connected to the central buoy assembly 2 via a column 31. Vertical baffles 33 are connected to the columns 32. In this embodiment, there are four columns, which form four corners similar to a square in cross section. More than one roughly circular fan-shaped transverse baffle 34 is connected between adjacent vertical baffles 33. Side walls 34 are connected between adjacent columns 32. Thus, the columns 31, side walls 32, the bottom of the central buoy assembly 2 and the top of the counterweight 30 form an internal space in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. In other embodiments, other numbers of columns may be provided, such as two columns, or more than or equal to three columns. A water inlet 35 is provided on the side wall.

[0053] After the device enters the water, seawater can enter the tank-like interior space enclosed by sidewalls 32 and columns 31 through water inlet 35. Without significantly increasing the material used for the counterweight, the device's deadweight is significantly increased, allowing it to quickly return to its original position after a roll motion. The increased deadweight also reduces heave motion, ensuring the accuracy of the collected data.

[0054] Figures 2 through 4 further illustrate various embodiments of the water opening 35 through the detailed view A of Figure 1. Figure 2 shows a first embodiment of the water opening 35. In this embodiment, the water opening 35 is constructed as a horizontal water-passing slit extending across all or part of the sidewall 32 at the junction of the counterweight 30. This configuration of the water opening 35 allows the water in the internal space to drain completely by gravity when the equipment is retrieved from the sea, for example, for maintenance or replacement, facilitating maintenance and reducing transportation pressure. Furthermore, the slit prevents foreign matter from entering the internal space, reducing the risk of interference with measurements. Furthermore, when the equipment is subjected to heaving motion, the upper portion of the sidewall 32 may emerge from the water due to heaving or rolling motion. Because the water-passing slit is located near the counterweight 30, the water in the internal space does not escape, and the counterweight's deadweight, and therefore its center of gravity, remains unchanged, exerting a force or tendency to return the equipment to its original position.

[0055] FIG3 shows a second embodiment of the water vent 35. In this embodiment, the water vent 35 is constructed as a water-passing gap extending vertically on the entire or part of the side wall at the position where the side wall 32 meets the column 31. This structure of the water vent 35 allows the water in the internal space to be completely discharged due to gravity when the equipment is fished out of the sea, for example for operation and maintenance or replacement, which facilitates operation and maintenance and reduces the pressure of transportation. In addition, the design of the gap can prevent foreign matter in the sea water from entering the internal space, reducing the risk of interference with measurement. In addition, this structure of the water vent 35 can simplify the installation of the side wall 32, as shown in FIG3, by using a flange or flanging to fix the connection at the junction of the side wall 32 and the counterweight 30 or the side wall 32 and the transverse baffle 34, for example, by welding.

[0056] FIG4 shows a third embodiment of the water opening 35. In this embodiment, the water opening 35 is constructed as a water hole on the side close to the counterweight 30. A filter is provided in the water hole to prevent foreign matter in the seawater from entering the internal space, thereby reducing the risk of interference with the measurement. The design of the water hole facilitates processing. In addition, when the device is subjected to heaving motion, the upper half of the side wall 32 may float to the surface due to heaving or rolling motion. Since the water opening is provided on the side close to the counterweight 30, the seawater in the internal space does not flow out, the deadweight of the counterweight and therefore the center of gravity remain unchanged and exert a force on the device to return to its original posture or make the device have a tendency to return to its original posture.

[0057] Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment according to the present application from the counterweight side. Wings 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the section of the central buoy assembly 2 extending below the float assembly 1. In this embodiment, the wing panels 36 extend between the central buoy assembly 2 and the float assembly 1 and are symmetrically arranged, but are not limited to this. When the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment is operating at sea, the float assembly 1 and the portion above it can float on the sea surface, and the counterweight sinks into the seawater to stabilize the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment. The relatively large area of ​​the wing panels 36 can further reduce the rotational movement of the equipment.

[0058] Figure 6 shows a bottom-up perspective view of a floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring device according to the present application. A first meteorological monitoring device 22 is mounted on a circular platform 21. In this embodiment, the first meteorological monitoring device 22 is, for example, a roughly rectangular laser radar wind measuring device. Thus, free space is created on the circular platform on either side of the long sides of the laser radar wind measuring device, providing convenient access for maintenance personnel. Furthermore, this space can be used to install more sensors, such as a second meteorological monitoring device 23 with the same function as the first meteorological monitoring device 22, or a meteorological monitoring device located higher on the mast. These sensors, such as communication devices, navigation safety monitoring devices, and meteorological data monitoring devices, ensure data redundancy, for example, at least two-fold redundancy, preferably three-fold redundancy. The data types of the first meteorological monitoring device 22, the second meteorological monitoring device 23, and the meteorological monitoring device located higher on the mast can be converted to and from the data types measured by the aforementioned first hydrological monitoring device, such as the motion sensor in the wave sensor. In other words, redundancy is achieved, for example, through redundancy in the amount of data and / or data type. Because sensors higher up on the mast cannot be well protected by guardrails, redundant sensors or weather monitoring devices are important and meaningful.

[0059] Figure 7 shows a side view of the floating marine meteorological and hydrological monitoring equipment according to the present application. To better illustrate the specific installation method of the solar panel assembly 25, the guardrail assembly 4 and counterweight are omitted. The solar panel assembly 25 includes a support 251 mounted on a support plate 240. The support 251 is hingedly connected to a support beam 252, allowing the solar panel assembly 255 to pivot about the support 251. The support beam 252 is detachably connected to a solar panel rack 253. The solar panel rack 253 includes multiple legs. The legs of the solar panel rack 253 are detachably connected to the support beam 252, for example, by bolts. A first solar panel 254 is mounted on the solar panel rack 253. The first solar panel 254 and the solar panel rack 253 are pressed together by a pressing block 255 and then secured by a fastener 256. This facilitates the installation and removal of the first solar panel 254 and enables easier switching between different models of first solar panels 254. In addition, the use of a conventional frame for the first solar panel 254 is eliminated, thereby further reducing the weight above the float assembly 1 and making the device more stable.

[0060] Figure 7 also shows the junction box 26 mounted on the central buoy assembly 2. A maintenance window is provided on the side of the junction box 26 facing away from the central buoy assembly 2. At least one desiccant holder is mounted on the inner wall of the junction box 26. This simplifies the maintenance of the junction box 26. The use of desiccant helps electrical components better withstand the humid environment at sea.

[0061] FIG8 shows another side view of the floating ocean meteorological and hydrological monitoring device according to the present application, which is opposite to FIG7 . In order to better illustrate the central buoy assembly 2, the solar panel assembly 25 on one side is omitted on the basis of FIG7 . FIG8 also shows a battery assembly 27 that is detachably mounted on the central buoy assembly 2. The battery assembly 27 includes a battery, such as a fuel cell, and a battery box. In other embodiments, the floating ocean meteorological and hydrological monitoring device may not be equipped with the battery assembly 27. The detachable installation method allows the user to decide whether to equip the battery assembly 27 according to their needs. In addition, FIG8 also shows a wind turbine 28 mounted on top of the mounting column 24. The solar panel assembly 25, the optional battery assembly 27, and the wind turbine 28 constitute the energy management system of the floating ocean meteorological and hydrological monitoring device according to the present application.

[0062] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
