Electrode-started low-power-consumption marine instrument positioning beacon and start-stop method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of beacon machines and particularly relates to an electrode-started low-power-consumption marine instrument positioning beacon and a start-stop method. Anelectrode is arranged on the beacon; when the electrode enters the water, electrolyte is dissolved in the water to generate free charged ions, and the charged ions directionally move to achieve conductivity; a water switch circuit connected with the electrodes is used for switching on and switching off a power supply to realize low power consumption of the beacon. The beacon machine is advantagedin that the external electrode is convenient for free switching of a working state of a beacon machine by utilizing the seawater conduction principle, a condition starting circuit is used for startingan underwater switching circuit in the circuit board, so the number of sensing assemblies in the beacon machine is reduced, and energy consumption is reduced; a cylindrical surface structure is adopted for tool design, fixing and mounting are convenient, the application range is wide, and the beacon can be widely applied to the field of industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of beacon machines, and in particular relates to an electrode-activated low-power marine instrument positioning beacon and a start-stop method. Background technique [0002] Marine scientific research often needs to rely on instruments and equipment to conduct long-term, fixed-point monitoring underwater. Because marine instruments and equipment are expensive and store a large amount of data, in order to facilitate their smooth recovery and prevent their accidental loss, they are usually integrated with a beacon machine before they are deployed and put into the water. A beacon is an instrument that can transmit a specific identification signal to the outside world. After meeting the activation conditions, it will automatically send a radio or position signal to be perceived by the outside world. [0003] At present, most of the mainstream beacon products in the market have their own pressure sensors, relyin...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The above design scheme keeps the traditional beacon in working condition all the time, which increases the power consumption and shortens the working time of the beacon after it comes out of the water. At the same time, the beacon product is heavily dependent on the pressure sensor, resulting in an increase in cost
