Abstract:

        We design a new intelligent electromechanical rotary ocean current measurement meter in view of high-threshold flow rate, large volume, and poor stability of a traditional rotary paddle ocean current meter. The meter includes an underwater detector and a overwater receiver. It employs ATxmega microcontroller as a core control device so it has dual CPU structure. The underwater detector has such new characteristics as an independent draw bar and a separate tail. Comarative test shows that the meter works stably.

Key words: ocean current meter, structural design, rotary, mechatronics
