Description

[0001] WAVE POWERED UNDERWATER VERTICAL RECIPROCATING PROFILER [0002]

The present invention relates to a profiler apparatus for underwater environment measurement capable of ascending and descending in water without requiring a separate power source by utilizing a change in height of a wave.

Accurate observations are needed to understand the changes in the oceanic environment due to changes in physical properties or natural variability caused by climate change. The Conductivity Temperature Depth Profiler (CTD), widely used in oceanography today, is a very precise instrument for measuring water temperature, conductivity, and pressure.

A common method for observing the marine environment with depth by using CTD equipment is to submerge CTD equipment of negative buoyancy in the submergence of the water such as a ship or to bind the positive buoyant CTD equipment to the anchor, The method of adjustment is used.

Patent Document (0001) "Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1025872, entitled" Seawater vertical structure observation device in buoy capable of observing the blue, (Notification date: March 30, 2011, Patentee: Korea Ocean Research Institute) " Discloses a configuration in which an observer 33 connected to a wire 32 is submerged in water to observe an underwater marine environment and a water depth position of the observer 33 is adjusted through a winch 31.

However, the configuration of the observer 33 including the plurality of sensors described above is connected to the other end of the wire 32 having one end as a fixed end and the other end as a free end, The water depth position of the observer 33 is different from the winding length of the set wire 32, and the vessel is required to adjust the water depth position of the CTD equipment. In addition, It is troublesome to adjust the depth of the CTD equipment. In order to solve such a problem, it is well known that several CTD devices are simultaneously used at each depth of the water. However, this also has a cost problem in that CTD devices, which are expensive equipments, are required to be put into one place.

In addition, Patent Document (0002) US Patent No. 9,372,082 entitled Method for along-the-cable underwater profile measurement (published on June 21, 2016, OCEAN UNIVERSITY OF CHINA) And an observation platform 2 is installed on a cable to which both ends of the anchor 9 and float 7 are confined.

However, the above-described prior art configuration also imposes weight control and buoyancy control for the lifting and lowering of the observation platform 2 by means of an electric driving force, which causes a problem of weight increase of the profiler device, The problem of installation due to the complexity of the configuration of the apparatus, and the problem of the use time limitation of the observation apparatus due to power consumption supplied to the elevation function.

When the lower end stopper is lowered along the hooking rope and the profiler collides or contacts with the lower stopper, the hooking of the hooking device is released, and the profile is raised due to the difference in specific gravity with respect to water without interference with the hooking jaw. The latching device can be caught by the latching jaw and can be lowered in the direction of the lower stopper.

The apparatus may further include a telescopic rope connected between the lower end of the locking rope and the anchor, the telescopic rope being made of a stretchable material of high elasticity.

3 is a block diagram for explaining the overall configuration of an underwater elevating profiler apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the underwater lifting type profiler apparatus AP (hereinafter, referred to as 'profiler apparatus') using waves of the present invention is constructed such that upper and lower ends are constrained by the anchor 400 and the subsidiary body 100 The lifting path of the underwater environment profiling profiler 500 is provided through the hooking rope 200 and the flow force of the subsidiary body 100 interlocked with the wave is connected to the subsidiary body 100 to be moved together The profiler 500 is gradually or intermittently lowered by using the engagement structure formed on the rope 200 and then continuously raised by the buoyancy force so that the profiler 500 repeatedly reciprocates between the sea surface and the sea floor, Can be used to continuously measure the marine environment by water depth without the need for manual operation or separate power source.

The profiler apparatus AP of the present invention may be used to perform the functions described hereinabove with respect to the main body 100, the locking rope 200, the telescopic rope 300, the anchor 400, the profiler 500, the upper stopper 600, and a lower stopper 700.

The buoy body 100 refers to a buoy floating on the water surface and its shape and structure may be a spherical or conical shape for supporting buoyancy of the water surface, Can be formed.

In addition, a communication device capable of wirelessly communicating observation data measured by the profiler 500 to an external server may be installed in the subscriber 100, but the present invention is not described in detail. .

The hanging rope 200 is made of a fiber, a synthetic resin, or a metal material and has an upper and a lower ends connected to an anchor 400 to be described later, Respectively.

At this time, the outer periphery of the locking rope 200 is formed with a conical shape, that is, a lower end, that is, a tapered engaging protrusion 210 having a larger outer radius toward the anchor 400, The profiler 500 performs a function as a step for measuring the marine environment by the depth of water while descending along the interval of the catching jaws 210.

Here, the lifting principle of the profiler 500 through the jaw 210 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, which will be described later.

The telescopic rope 300 is made of a material with high elasticity and high elasticity so that the lower end of the locking rope 200 and the upper end of the anchor 400 to be described later are connected to each other so that the behavior of the buoyant 100 and the engagement rope 200 And also allows the buoyant 100 and the locking rope 200 to be oriented in a vertical direction between the sea level and the sea floor.

Here, the stretch ropes 300 are provided in such a structure that the length thereof is narrow and longer than the width, similar to the structure of the above-mentioned latching rope 200, so that the shape of the stretch ropes 300 is easily deformed by the external environment, Or a synthetic resin material.

The anchor 400 is anchored to the bottom of the sea so as to prevent the release rope 200 from being loosened and disconnected from the subsidiary body 100 and the subsidiary body 100, Thereby restricting the flow of the locking rope 200 and the subsidiary body 100.

The profiler 500 is a receiver for receiving sensors for observing the underwater environment of the ocean, and includes a mounting body 520 corresponding to the body, a water depth, a water temperature, a water pressure, a flow rate, a salt, PH, dissolved oxygen, (Not shown) for measuring the physical / chemical characteristics of the engaging rope 200 and the configuration of the retaining device 510 for enabling the stepper or intermittent descent of the profiler 500 corresponding to the retaining jaw 210 of the engagement rope 200 .

Here, the profiler 500 may be the above-described CTD equipment, and it is preferable that the external shape of the installation body 520 is formed in a spherical or cylindrical shape so that the influence of the hydraulic pressure or the flow velocity is reduced and supported by the set buoyancy However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the above-described latching device 510 is provided in the axial direction, and a through hole 521 for receiving the latching rope 200 is formed.

At this time, the engagement protrusions 511 corresponding to the above-described engagement protrusions 210, which enable gradual or intermittent descent of the profiler 500, are inserted into the through holes 521, that is, at the inner periphery of the profiler 500, The latching unit 512 is provided in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the hole 521 and is provided with a latching shaft 512 for connecting the latching units 511 to each other or connecting the latching units 511 together to form the latching unit 510 described above.

Here, the locking protrusion 511 is connected to the elastic member and is reciprocated in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the locking rope 200, or the locking protrusion 511 and the locking protrusion 210 itself have predetermined elasticity So that the locking protrusion 511 can exceed the inclination of the tapered locking protrusion 210 through the elastic force of the locking protrusion 511 and can be seated and fixed by the locking structure of the locking protrusion 210. [

The upper stopper 600 is a flat plate-like structure that is engaged with the latching rope 200 at the upper end of the latching rope 200, that is, near the passenger 100. The upper stopper 600 includes a profiler 500 rising along the latching rope 200, And also reduces the radius of the peripheral edge of the ascending profiler 500 to convert the ascending operation of the profiler 500 to the descending operation.

The lower stopper 700 is also a flat plate type structure that is coupled to the lower end of the latching rope 200, that is, the vicinity of the telescopic rope 300. The lower stopper 700 is a profiler descending along the latching rope 200 500 and also by changing the radius of the periphery of the descending profiler 500 to change the descending operation of the profiler 500 to the ascending operation again.

The configuration and function of the upper and lower stoppers 600 and 700 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 which will be described later.

Hereinafter, the operation principle of the underwater lifting type profiler apparatus will be described.

4 is a view for explaining the operation principle of an underwater lifter type profiler apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the profiler apparatus AP according to the present invention is provided between the lower end of the engagement rope 200 and the upper end of the anchor 400, as described above, It is possible to accommodate the behavior of the subsidiary body 100 and the engagement rope 200 by the wave through the construction of the telescopic rope 300 provided on the sea floor 100 and the engagement rope 200, So that it can be oriented in a vertical direction between the surfaces.

The hooking rope 200 of the present invention is provided with an underwater ascending / descending path of the profiler 500 connecting the sea surface and the sea floor with both ends fixed to the ship 100 and the anchor 400, It is possible to observe the marine environment by depth.

However, the technique of providing an underwater lifting route using a rope provided between the buoy and the anchor is a well-known technique. In view of the behavior of the buoy, which conventionally has its height or position changed by waves, Since the length of the rope connecting the anchor and the buoy is provided in a margin relative to the depth of the sea floor, when the buoyancy of the seawater is in the geothermal state, the position of the buoy is formed in a diagonal direction not perpendicular to the anchor, There is a problem that it is difficult to be formed in a vertical direction on the seabed.

Therefore, the operation of the profiler ascending and descending along the rope is unfavorable, and the marine environment data observed by the profiler is also uneven.

Therefore, the profiler apparatus AP of the present invention is provided with the extension rope 300 provided with the high elasticity / high elasticity material, the bypass rope 100 having the height changed by the wave without providing the length of the rope, The lifting path of the profiler 500 is moved from the anchor 400 to the vertical position so that the tension of the clamping rope 200 can be maintained while the movement of the clamping rope 200 interlocked with the support 100 and the subsidiary body 100 is accommodated, It can be oriented in one direction.

4, the profiler device AP of the present invention can be used to measure the profile of a wave in the profiler 500 without any additional power source except for the power used in the measuring devices in the profiler 500. That is, So that the rope 500 can be moved up and down along the rope 200.

Specifically, as described above, the subsidiary body 100 and the locking rope 200 of the present invention are connected to the telescopic rope 300, so that the length of the telescopic rope 300 can be increased or decreased according to the variation of the sea level Direction.

At this time, since the profiler 500 is immersed in water and its behavior is restricted and fixed, the engaging rope 200 bound to the periphery of the profiler 500 can be reciprocated along the axial direction of the profiler 500 have.

Here, the specific gravity of the subsidiary body 100 and the profiler 500 is set so as to be larger than the air and smaller than the water, that is, the specific gravity is formed to be larger in order of the air <the subsidiary 100> the profiler 500 < The body 100 located in the air above the water surface freely behaves due to the height of the water surface and the behavior of the profiler 500 located in the water is constrained by the difference in specific gravity. The locking rope 200 is also located in water but is connected to the passenger 100 and reciprocates in the vertical direction so that it is free from the resistance of water generated in the water and its behavior is also interlocked with the behavior of the passenger 100. [

Therefore, the profiler 500 of the present invention can be manufactured by forming the hooking rope 200 formed on the hanging rope 200 through the behavior of the hanging rope 200 which freely reciprocates with respect to the profiler 500 fixed in water. And may be moved upward or downward along the latching rope 200 by receiving power exceeding the inclination of the latching jaw 210.

For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, a positive buoyancy is formed in the profiler 500, and the shape of the stopping jaw 210 is formed in a tapered shape such that its radius increases gradually as it goes downward, And the engagement rope 200 interlocked therewith are reciprocated in the vertical direction in accordance with the change in the height of the water surface, the engagement rope 200 can move upward with respect to the profiler 500, but can not move downward The profiler 500 caught on the catching jaw 210 is gradually lowered along the caught rope 200 in the sea floor direction when the ship body 100 is lifted again.

In addition, the profiler 500 descending stepwise or intermittently can rise continuously and not toward the upper stopper 600, stepwise or intermittently, without interfering with the stopper 210 starting from the lower stopper 700 .

Here, it is preferable that the ocean observing operation by the water depth of the profiler 500 is performed in the ascending operation rather than the descending operation. Specifically, since the variation of the height of the body 100 by the waves is relatively uneven, the profiler 500, which is gradually or intermittently lowered through the latching jaw 210, may be difficult to descend at regular intervals, It is more preferable that observations by water depth are performed in a rising operation rather than a descending operation of the profiler 500 because continuous water depth data can be collected.

For example, it is possible to form the lowering operation of the profiler 500 at a predetermined interval by increasing the inclination of the stopping jaw 210. However, when the flow of the wave is weak, the profiler 500 may be inclined with a high inclination 210), so that the lowering operation can not be performed.

Accordingly, it is preferable that the inclination of the latching jaw 210 is set according to the intensity of the waves. It is needless to say that the profiler 500 descending due to the waves can be lowered at irregular intervals instead of being lowered at regular intervals. However, since the accuracy of the observation data of the marine environment according to the depth of water is abundant, it is preferable to perform the observation of the marine environment by the depth of water in the descending operation of the profiler 500.

By measuring the marine environment by water depth through the above-described configuration and function, it is possible to facilitate the installation and management of the profiler 500, as well as to measure the marine environment information of the charged power source of the profiler 500 So that the effect of extending the use time of the profiler apparatus (AP) can be obtained.

In the following, the profiler for marine environment observation will explain how the up and down movements are switched from the upper and lower stoppers.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged view for explaining a process in which a descending operation of a constrained profiler according to an embodiment of the present invention is switched to a rising operation, and FIG. 6 is a view for explaining an operation of a constrained profiler according to an embodiment of the present invention FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the main portion for explaining the process of the rising operation being switched to the falling operation.

As described above, the profiler apparatus (AP) of the present invention can observe the marine environment for each water depth when it descends along the hanging rope 200, but the marine observation is not limited to one time, It is preferable that the elevated profiler 500 descends again to repeat the ascending operation and the descending operation.

Accordingly, the profiler 500 descends stepwise or intermittently in the downward direction of the engagement rope 200 and then rises toward the upper stopper 600 again without interfering with the engagement protrusion 210 starting from the lower stopper 700 And is configured to descend toward the lower stopper 700 from the upper stopper 600 as a starting point.

5 and 6, the profiler 500 of the present invention may be configured such that the protruding protrusion 511 protrudes toward the locking protrusion 210, The upper and lower stoppers 600 and 700 may be moved in the direction of the protrusions 511 and the upper and lower stoppers 600 and 700, A driving force should be provided to enable protruding or retracting movement.

The upper stopper 600 of the present invention is provided with a reduction protrusion 610 for protruding the locking protrusion 511 and an extension protrusion 710 for pulling the locking protrusion 511 is formed on the lower stopper 700 So that the driving load caused by the protruding structure is transmitted to the profiler 500 which collides with or comes in contact with the respective stoppers 600 and 700.

In order to perform the function of switching the upward or downward movement of the profiler 500 by the load transmitted through the protrusions 610 and 710 of the stoppers described above, the profiler 500 of the present invention is provided with a stopper A horizontal elastic member 513, a fitting base 514, a vertical elastic member 515, and a load transmission shaft 517. The horizontal elastic member 513,

The locking protrusion 511 is provided in a shape corresponding to the locking protrusion 210 as described above with reference to FIG. Specifically, the upper surface is provided in a flat shape so as to correspond to and be seated on the lower surface of the engaging jaw 210, thereby fixing the profiler 500 to the engaging jaw 210. The lower surface of the engaging jaw 210 is provided with a gentle curvature, The extension protrusion 710 provided on the lower stopper 700 is guided to the end of the locking protrusion 511 by the gentle curvature of the locking protrusion 511 so that the inclination of the locking protrusion 511 May be pulled into the profiler 500. [0035]

When the one locking protrusion 511 is operated by connecting the plurality of locking protrusions 511 to the locking axis 512, the remaining locking protrusions 511 are interlocked with each other by one locking protrusion 511, .

The horizontal elastic member 513 is provided between the mounting body 520 and the locking protrusion 511 to generate and transmit a load protruding toward the locking protrusion 210 from the locking protrusion 511.

The engaging projections 514 are formed on the upper portion of the engaging projection 511 so as to be inserted into the engaging recesses 516 to be described later so that the engaging projections 511 are projected toward the attaching body 520 of the profiler 500 To be fixed in the drawn state.

The vertical elastic member 515 is provided between the engaging projection 511 and the engaging projection 514 to project the engaging projection 514 by elasticity when the engaging projection 514 reaches the engaging recess 516, The engaging projections 514 are drawn between the engaging projections 511 by elasticity.

The engaging groove 516 serves as a fixing groove for fixing the engaging projection 511 by fitting the engaging projection 514 as described above and penetrates the upper and lower portions of the profiler 500, ).

The load transmission shaft 517 is axially moved in a state of being fitted in the groove 516 to transmit the load of the reduction projection 610 formed on the upper stopper 600 to the insertion slot 514.

The profiler apparatus AP of the present invention enables the elevator operation and the operation of the profiler 500 to be switched using the elastic members and the lock protrusions in one embodiment, (For example, a configuration using the magnetic force of the permanent magnet) which is capable of switching between the rising motion and the falling motion at the upper and lower portions of the engaging rope 200 is used for the profiler 500, And will be included in the technical idea of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the upward and downward movement of the profiler, which is switched from the upper and lower stoppers to the starting point, will be described.

5 and 6, the profiler 500 of the present invention starts to operate in a state in which the latching protrusion 511 of the latching device 510 is fitted in the latching protrusion 210 of the latching rope 200 , The subsidiary body 100 ascended and descended by the wave and the oscillating rope 200 connected to the subsidiary body 100 are lowered stepwise or intermittently along the stopping rope 200 by the reciprocating movement of the oscillating rope 200, To measure the marine environment by depth.

On the other hand, when the profiler 500 observes the marine environment step by step or intermittently reaches the lower stopper 700, the lower stopper 700 rises by the waves to collide or contact the upper part of the profiler 500 The extension protrusion 710 protruding from the lower stopper 700 is drawn into the profiler 500 along the curvature of the protrusion 511 and the protrusion 511 is inserted into the profiler 500 and the recessed protrusion 511 of the retracted protrusion 511 is fitted into the recessed groove 516 so that the radius of the inner periphery of the profiler 500 is fixed in the extended state do.

At this time, the other plurality of locking protrusions 511 may also be retracted by the locking axis 512 to be fixed to the recesses 516, respectively. Here, the length of the other locking protrusions 511 is shortened toward the upper part of the profiler 500, and the rigidity of the horizontal elastic member 513 is made weak so that the load transmitted through the extended protrusion 710 is reduced by half .

When the inner periphery of the profiler 500 reaches the lower stopper 700 as described above, the profiler 500 ascends without interfering with the engagement protrusions 210 formed on the engagement rope 200, ). Here, the profiler 500 is provided to have a positive buoyancy so that it can be raised by its buoyant force. By adjusting the amount of the buoyancy, the profiler 500 ascends in the direction of the upper stopper 600, Can be observed.

Thereafter, the profiler 500 which has risen to the upper stopper 600 comes into collision with or comes into contact with the upper stopper 600 which is lowered by the buoyancy or upward force of the buoyancy force, and the upper stopper 600, The profiled projecting portion 610 is inserted into the fitting groove 516 formed along the longitudinal direction of the profiler 500. [

The load transfer shaft 517 descends to draw the insertion slot 514 from the insertion slot 516 so that the locking projection 511 protrudes again due to the elastic force of the horizontal elastic member 513, The radius of the periphery of the profiler 500 is fixed in a reduced state.

As described above, the profiler 500 with the reduced inner radius can be sequentially placed on the catching jaw 210 formed at a predetermined interval as described above, and descended, so that the observation of the marine environment by the water depth can be repeated.

7 is an enlarged view for explaining a configuration of a stopper latch jaw replacing the role of a lower stopper according to another embodiment of the present invention.

7, the configuration of the lower stopper 700 and the extension protrusion 710 of the present invention can be modified and used as the configuration of the stopper stopper 220 having a larger radius of the stopper.

The lower stopper 700 and the extension protrusion 710 limit the descending range of the profiler 500 and extend the radius of the periphery of the profiler 500 to prevent the profiler 500 from being caught by the jaws 210 in the direction of the upper stopper 600 without interference.

Therefore, in the stopper stopping jaw 220 according to the other embodiment, when the profiler 500 reaches the stopper stopping jaw 220 and the stopping protrusion 511 is retracted by the shape of the stopper stopping jaw 220, The profiler 500 having a larger radius is immediately raised to the upper stopper 600.

In other words, the lowering range of the profiler 500 can be limited not only by the radial expansion function of the inner periphery according to the shape of the stopper stopper 220, but also the lowering operation can be switched to the upward operation.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments.
