[0009] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0010] As shown in the attached figure, an energy-saving urban flood-prone area monitoring and early warning device includes a detection cylinder 6 with a water-swellable rubber 12 built into its bottom. The lower part of the cylinder 6 has a through hole 16 on the wall where the water-swellable rubber 12 is placed. A cover 18 is fixed to the upper end of the detection cylinder 6. A piston 5 is placed on top of the water-swellable rubber 12, and the upper surface of the piston 5 is connected to the lower end of a main return spring 17. The upper end of the main return spring 17 presses against the lower surface of the cover 18. A pull rod 4 is fixed to the left side of the piston 5, and a protrusion 11 is fixed to the right side. The pull rod 4 and the protrusion 11 pass through through slots on both sides of the detection cylinder 6. A fixed cone 10 is located on the outer right side of the detection cylinder 6, and a lever 7 is installed on the fixed cone 10. A torsion spring is installed at the connection between the fixed cone 10 and the lever 7. The left end of the lever 7 is located above the protrusion 11, and a magnet 8 is installed below the right end of the lever 7. A ferromagnetic switch 9 is installed below the magnet 8. A rope 13 is tied to the left end of the pull rod 4, and the lower end of the rope 13 is tied to the upper surface of the sealing cover 2. A compression spring 3 is installed on the upper surface of the sealing cover 2, and the upper end of the compression spring 3 presses against a fixed object. The sealing cover 2 is in contact with the ground. A water level measuring cylinder 14 is installed on the ground inside the sealing cover 2. The water level measuring cylinder 14 has a through hole at its lower end, and a water level measuring ball 15 is inside the water level measuring cylinder 14. Several Hall switches 1 are installed vertically on the outside of the sealing cover 2. The two contacts of the ferromagnetic switch 9 are sealed inside a glass tube and do not contact under normal conditions. The upper contact of the ferromagnetic switch 9 is a fixed contact, and the lower contact is a movable contact. It is made of ferromagnetic material. The density of the water level measuring ball 15 is less than that of water, and it contains a magnet. The relay KA coil is connected in series with its normally open contact KA1. KA1 is connected in parallel with the ferromagnetic switch 9. The other normally open contact KA2 of the relay KA is the main switch for Hall switch 1 and the rest of the circuit of the energy-saving urban flood-prone area monitoring and early warning equipment. The ferromagnetic switch 9 is symbolized as S in the circuit diagram.
[0011] Under normal conditions, lever 7 is in a horizontal position under the action of the torsion spring, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power supply is connected to both ends of the relay KA coil. However, the normally open switch KA1 and the ferromagnetic switch 9 controlled by the KA coil are both in the open state, so the relay KA coil is not energized. Simultaneously, the other normally open contact KA2 of the relay KA is the main switch for Hall switch 1 and the remaining circuits of the energy-saving urban flood-prone area monitoring and early warning equipment, and it is also in the normally open state. Therefore, Hall switch 1 and the remaining circuits of the energy-saving urban flood-prone area monitoring and early warning equipment are also not energized. Under normal conditions, the sealing cover 2 is pressed firmly against the ground by the compression spring 3, preventing dust and water from entering the interior of the sealing cover 2.
[0012] When the flood disaster occurs, water enters the through hole 16 in the lower part of the detection cylinder 6, the water-swelling rubber 12 placed in the lower part of the detection cylinder 6 swells when water, pushes the piston 5 to move upwards, compresses the main reset spring 17, and the protrusion 11 drives the lever 7 to rotate clockwise around the fixed cone 10, so that the left side moves upwards and the right side moves downwards, the magnet 8 moves downwards, the magnetic field in the ferromagnetic switch 9 increases, the lower side contact of the ferromagnetic switch 9 moves upwards under the action of magnetic force and is connected with the upper side contact of the ferromagnetic switch 9, S is connected, the relay KA coil circuit is connected, the normally open switch KA1 and the normally open contact KA2 are connected, the normally open switch KA1 is self-locked, and the relay KA coil is always powered. The piston 5 continues to move upwards, the protrusion 11 and the lever 7 are disconnected, the lever 7 returns to the horizontal state under the action of the torsional spring, the magnetic field in the ferromagnetic switch 9 decreases, and the lower side contact of the ferromagnetic switch 9 moves downwards and is disconnected with the upper side contact of the ferromagnetic switch 9, S is disconnected.
[0013] In the process of moving the piston 5 upwards, the pull rod 4 pulls the sealing cover 2 upwards through the rope 13, the flood enters the water level measuring cylinder 14 through the through hole at the lower end of the water level measuring cylinder 14, and under the action of buoyancy, the water level measuring ball 15 moves upwards and directly measures the height of the water level. When the water level measuring ball 15 moves to the height corresponding to each Hall switch 1, the magnet inside the water level measuring ball 15 makes the Hall switch 1 at the corresponding height connected, thereby controlling the alarm of the energy-saving city prone to flooding point monitoring and early warning equipment and displaying the current water level height.
[0014] When the flood is over, the rescue personnel manually reset the power supply, the relay KA coil is powered off, KA1 and KA2 are disconnected, but the water-swelling rubber 12 will not immediately return to its original state after losing water, but will slowly shrink. With the shrinkage of the water-swelling rubber 12, the piston 5 slowly moves downwards under the action of the main reset spring 17, when the protrusion 11 contacts the lever 7, the lever 7 rotates counterclockwise around the fixed cone 10, the left side moves downwards and the right side moves upwards, and the magnet 8 moves upwards, so the ferromagnetic switch 9 is not affected and will not be closed. In the process of slowly moving the piston 5 downwards under the action of the main reset spring 17, the sealing cover 2 moves downwards under the action of the compression spring 3 until the sealing cover 2 is tightly pressed against the ground again.
