Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underground water level monitoring in water diversion hubs, pumping stations, levees, reservoirs, foundation pits and slopes, and more specifically, it is a device for solving the mutual interference between manual and automatic observation of pressure measuring tubes. The present invention also relates to a method for using the device for solving the mutual interference between manual and automatic observation of pressure measuring tubes. Background Art

[0002] Pressure gauges are an important means of monitoring groundwater levels in water diversion hubs, hydropower generation, embankments, reservoirs, foundation pits, and slopes. Depending on different geological conditions and building types, there are two methods for data collection: manual data collection and automated data collection.

[0003] During the excavation of deep foundation pits, the specification requires that the observation frequency of foundation pits with an excavation depth of more than 10m should be twice a day. In addition, when the groundwater level continues to drop during the excavation of the foundation pit or encounters special working conditions, the observation frequency needs to be increased. This is an urgent need to install automated observation equipment for monitoring projects with a wide range of work, tight personnel, strong construction, and fast progress. In order to achieve automated observation, a piezometer needs to be installed inside the piezometer. According to the specification requirements, the water level elevation in the piezometer hole needs to be manually checked regularly with an electric water level gauge.

[0004] The difficulty of simultaneous manual and automated observation of the piezometer mainly lies in the following: the piezometer cable, steel wire rope and manual water level gauge ruler connected to the piezometer hole are entangled, making it difficult to collect real data, and it is easy to damage the electric water level gauge or piezometer, making it impossible to know the integrity of the instrument in a timely manner.

[0013] In the above technical solution, a positioning cover is provided on the top of the pressure measuring tube; and the cable protection tube is connected to the piezometer outlet hole on the positioning cover.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the middle part of the U-shaped buckle is sleeved on the cable protection tube, and the two ends are close to the inner wall of the pressure measuring tube.

[0017] In the above technical solution, a circle of steel bar heads is provided on the hole protection tube located in the concrete pier.

[0018] In order to achieve the above second purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for using a device to solve the mutual interference between manual and automatic observation of a pressure measuring tube, characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Complete the drilling according to the design drawing requirements, and use Φ70PE pipe for the pressure measuring pipe installation;
