ES2239493A1 - System controlling and monitoring quality of underwater in archaeological field, has thread attached to anchor by remote control unit, and self-protection system provided with water level unit and deep anchoring unit - Google Patents

Abstract

The system has electronic hydrophone sensors (1) integrated inside a waterproof floating element (2). The sensors generate a detection signal according to a Bluetoothtechnology. A self-protection system is provided with a water level unit (4) and a deep anchoring unit (5). A thread (6) is attached to an anchor (7) by a remote control unit.

Description

Control and monitoring system of remains Underwater archeology and water quality.

The invention falls within the technical sector of processes destined to the control and surveillance of the remains underwater archeology and the environment in which they are: seas and rivers. Combining the determinants of different databases: acoustic, biological, computer, communications and Analytical

The protection and dissemination of underwater archaeological remains is currently necessary and mandatory. UNESCO establishes this, but it is very difficult, at present, to meet the requirements of protection and public approach to them and, with the control and surveillance system, the proposed objectives are achieved. Watch to avoid theft, watch so that your visualization, in situ , is adequate, safe and not harmful.

Watch and control the state of the waters surrounding the wreck, which is a remarkable technical advance that it entails the surveillance, control and security of the remains and of people since the system gives us the necessary information about the state of the waters, their visibility, the currents, their quality.

The invention provides the solution to problems raised by the occupation of bulky devices, which deteriorate the landscape and the environment near the coast where they combine the influx of bathers with sports activities, nautical, diving or fishing.

Because of its size it is very useful to be integrated into surveillance and control uses in ports and especially in its swamps where the spills of substances Pollutants is difficult to control. A device placed in a pantanal would detect in thousands of seconds the contamination of Water. A device placed at the exit of an industry that pour into the river or sea would detect in the same way if the water that is Pouring contains substance that may endanger the health of waters Thus avoiding irreversible ecological tragedies.

The system monitors foreign agents located on the archaeological remains: ships, people and agents pollutants, alerting the checkpoint by alarm corresponding, which will have the ability to register, control and Alarm incident management.

The system is a floating and watertight element with sensors and electronics inside that is located in the center of The supervision zone. With energy subsystem.

Intruder detection is carried out by aquatic hydrograph and pollutants with specific and determined microsensors for different analysis.

The data will be transmitted with BLUETOOTH technology that allows reception in thousandths of seconds the alarm of intruders or pollutants.

Your reversible data collection system in the water surface and underwater bottom allows other non-existent applications First theft is avoided, deterioration or accidental rupture providing you with an intelligent system of self protection. His performance from the underwater bottom would be great utility to detect stains and thicknesses of agents strange and harmful to the aquatic environment as well as the address of them. For example an oil stain today in day it can be viewed via satellite when it has already appeared and Also your address. The new system would immediately detect the crude oil output in thousandths of seconds and the internal current e external water.

Automatic release of the anchor system and its operation by remote or robotic control makes the system have your application for maintenance moving to the place tidy and also be very useful to chase the stranger, be this object or polluting material.

Description of figure 1

The control and surveillance system of remains Archaeological and water quality is composed of an antenna underwater (1) that receives the hydrophone information about the which is situated (2).

The hydrophone passes through the power device or battery (3) and the device box (4) appearing behind its fund in the same higher proportion.

The device box contains a grid of water passage (5) for communication with internal sensors for analysis.

It joins the bottom anchor (9), close to the wreck to be protected (8), by means of a high resistance wire (6) which It contains a sensor (7).

Claims (5)
