The utility model belongs to the technical field of
tide level instruments, and particularly relates to a
tide level instrument protection device for marine surveying and mapping, which comprises an outer protection cover, a flow guide plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the outer surface of the outer protection cover, and a spiral groove is formed in the lower side of the outer surface of the outer protection cover; the flow guide plates can change the
water flow direction, reduce the front
impact area and guide marine organisms to slide off along the slopes, the spiral grooves can induce
water flow to form axial flow, destroy
water flow continuity, decompose large vortexes into small-scale turbulent flow and reduce
wave resistance, and therefore the transverse swing amplitude of the
buoy is reduced, and the service life of the
buoy is prolonged. A
honeycomb structure in the
honeycomb composite buffer plate provides rigid support, energy is absorbed through plastic deformation during collision, the
damper buffers the
impact force transmitted into the fixing rod again, and therefore under the cooperation of the flow guide plate, the spiral groove, the
honeycomb composite buffer plate and the
damper, the
impact force buffering strength of the protection device is improved, and the service life of the protection device is prolonged. And therefore, the protection effect on the
tide level meter is improved.
