Description

Pontoon system for water quality measurement

The present invention relates to a pontoon system for measuring water quality, and more particularly, it can stably float in a state with minimal inclination on the water, can control buoyancy, and improve water quality measurement so that foreign substances floating on the water do not get caught. It is about a dragon pontoon system.

At present, awareness of climate change is increasing globally, and the prevention of water pollution caused by environmental changes and the preservation of clean water quality must be carried out in the most initiative as part of the national important policy. To this end, it is necessary to continuously measure the water quality of reservoirs, dams, rivers, rivers, etc. to make efforts to purify water quality.

An example of a mobile water quality observation method applied in reservoirs, dams, and rivers is a pontoon system for water quality measurement.

The pontoon system for water quality measurement installs a buoy that is fixed floating on the water in reservoirs, dams, rivers, etc., and measures the water quality through a water quality meter provided in the buoy to measure turbidity, electrical conductivity, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, and hydrogen ions. Water quality data such as concentration are acquired. And through the acquired data, the improvement points for water purification are reviewed.

Examples of buoys used in conventional water quality measurement pontoon systems are disclosed in Korean Patent Nos. 10-1587243, 10-1603530, and 10-1880976.

However, in the conventional pontoon system for water quality measurement, the buoy is entirely floating on the water, so in places where the water flow is fast or the water level changes severely, a phenomenon of severe shaking occurs according to the flow of water, and even inclined or overturned cases. There is a problem that it is difficult to accurately measure water quality.

In addition, in the conventional water quality measurement pontoon system, foreign matters floating on the water surface are caught by the buoy and hang on the buoy, resulting in a change in the total weight of the buoy, causing a phenomenon in which it is tilted to one side, and accurate water quality measurement is difficult. There is this.
