The invention provides a simple open channel mud level meter convenient to install. The simple open channel mud level meter comprises a fixing frame, a box body, a pay-off reel device, a weighing device, a meter
counter device, a steering device, an anti-collision beam device, a controller, a steel
wire rope and a fish lead, the fixing frame is connected with the box body in a riveting mode, and the anti-collision beam device, the weighing device, the steering device, the pay-off reel device and a meter counting wheel support are mechanically connected with the box body. One end of the steel
wire rope is mechanically connected with the pay-off reel device, the steel
wire rope sequentially penetrates through the weighing device, the meter
counter device, the steering device and the anti-collision beam device, the
tail end of the steel wire
rope is mechanically connected with the fish lead, and the controller is electrically connected with the pay-off reel device, the weighing device, the meter
counter device and the anti-collision beam device. The controller is the control core of the whole device. It can be guaranteed that the mud level depth of the yellow-guiding main canal or the open canal is conveniently measured, the accuracy of updating canal section information in real time through
radar flow measurement and ultrasonic flow measurement sensors is guaranteed, the
automation level is high, operation is easy, and safety and reliability are achieved.
