<p>The invention relates to a buoy intended to be employed for confining navigation signalling, prospecting and tracking signals, as well as in immersion, being provided with storm protection, in case that it is lost or displaced from the anchorage place. According to the invention, the buoy consists of a body in the shape of a truncated pyramid having the large base at its top, while at its bottom there is mounted a mechanical flood valve (12) connected to an anchor by some anchoring ties (14) and an immersion control electric valve (13) which is electrically or pneumatically controlled as to open and allow the flooding of the body which enters into immersion either for protection in case of storm, or for sampling data from deep water, an emitter achieving the remote refloating thereof by controlling the opening of a compressed-air electric valve (6) concomitantly with a water discharge electric valve (7) which, when opened, receive air from the cylinder of a compressor (5) which, at the water surface, automatically renews the reserve of air required for refloating, at its top part the body being also provided with a long-wave hydroacoustic receiver (4) having a hydroacoustic control antenna (11) with a GPS device (10) provided with a satellite transmission antenna (9) and a meteorological integrated system equipment (8), which are supplied from some unspillable accumulators (3) charged from some photovoltaic panels (1, 1' and 2, 2').</p> |
