Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrogeological equipment, and in particular to an interference-proof groundwater level measuring probe. Background Art

[0002] In the hydrology, hydrogeology, agriculture and other industries, it is often necessary to obtain the accurate buried depth value of the groundwater level. The measured groundwater outcropping points are mostly machine wells, water wells, etc. When measuring the water level, the probe needs to touch the water surface. Because most water wells are in normal use, pipes, pump bodies, cables, etc. are all in the wellbore. During the lowering of the probe, it is necessary to overcome the interference of items in the wellbore such as cables, flanges, and wire ropes. There will often be a jam during the lifting and lowering process, or the probe will be held up in the middle and cannot be put down. Because it cannot be seen in the wellbore, it can only be felt by hand at this time, and the existence status of the probe cannot be accurately judged, resulting in the probe being stuck and unable to measure. In addition, the current probe rope is fixed together with the probe. When the rope is lowered, the probe has a large deadweight and a large swing amplitude. It is easy to be entangled with the cable or rope and cannot be lifted out, thus being damaged. Because the dynamic water level is often measured when measuring the water level, it is carried out in a well that is being pumped. At this time, the rapid flow of water on the well wall forms a water curtain, which produces a false water level position signal, affecting the accuracy of the measurement. In view of this, it is necessary to provide an anti-interference groundwater level measurement probe to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

A second conductive contact piece 9 is opposite to the ring 6, and the upper ends of the first conductive contact piece 8 and the second conductive contact piece 9 are hinged to the counterweight shell 2 by means of a conductive pin shaft. Floating rod holes 10 corresponding to the first conductive contact piece 8 and the second conductive contact piece 9 are respectively arranged on both sides of the counterweight shell wall. The floating rod hole is high inside and low outside and tilted downward. A first buoyancy rod 11 connected to the first conductive contact piece 8 and a second buoyancy rod 12 connected to the second conductive contact piece 9 are respectively arranged in the floating rod hole. A first buoyancy body 13 is arranged on the outside of the first buoyancy rod 11, and a second buoyancy body 14 is arranged on the outside of the second buoyancy rod 12; a threading hole is arranged at the center of the upper end of the counterweight shell, and the load-bearing steel wire rope and the circuit cable are inserted into the detection cavity through the threading hole; the circuit cable package The first circuit 15, the second circuit 16 and the third circuit 17 are provided with a third conductive contact 18 at the bottom of the third circuit, and the third conductive contact 18 passes downward through the center of the limit plate 4. The first circuit 15 is connected to the bottom conductive copper ring 5, and the second circuit 16 is connected to the upper conductive copper ring 6; the third conductive contact 18 can be connected to the state sensing ball 3 when the state sensing ball 3 is at the lowest point of the concave semi-spherical bottom of the detection cavity. The state sensing ball 3 is a conductive metal material, and the limit plate 4 is an insulating plate; the first circuit 15, the second circuit 16 and the third circuit 17 are all independent cables with an insulating layer, and the sound and light alarm includes a control circuit board 19, a first warning light 20, a second warning light 21, and a second warning light 22. The first circuit 15 is connected to the positive circuit of the first warning light 20, the second circuit 16 is connected to the positive circuit of the second warning light 21, and the third circuit 17 is connected to the positive circuit of the third warning light 22. The bottom end of the load-bearing steel wire rope 1 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing clamp 7.

The load-bearing clamp 7 and the counterweight shell 2 are connected by a fourth conductive contact piece 29. The load-bearing steel wire rope is connected to the negative circuit of the sound and light warning device as a conductive circuit while bearing the weight of the probe body; the bottom conductive copper ring 5, the upper conductive copper ring 6, and the load-bearing clamp 7 are insulated from each other.When the present invention is in operation, the probe body is lowered into the well for detection, and a status sensing ball is arranged in the counterweight shell. If the probe body is blocked during the lowering process, the counterweight shell will tilt because the bottom of the counterweight shell of the probe body is pointed, and the status sensing ball will roll to a position deviating from the center, and the third conductive contact piece 18 will lose contact with the status sensing ball, and the third warning light 22 will be turned off. The ground staff can judge whether the probe body is dragged and tilted during the lowering process by the status of the third warning light 22. If it is found that the probe body is dragged and tilted, it can be lifted and put again. The present invention utilizes a first float and a second float to sense the water level. The first float and the second float are distributed on both sides of the counterweight shell and have different heights. The first float drives the first conductive contact piece 8 to connect with the bottom conductive copper ring 5 through the first buoyancy rod 11. The bottom conductive copper ring 5 is connected to the first warning light 20 through the first circuit 15. The first conductive contact piece 8 itself is connected to the counterweight shell 2, the fourth conductive contact piece 29, the bearing clamp 7, the load-bearing steel wire rope 1 in sequence through the conductive pin shaft, and finally connected to the negative circuit of the sound and light alarm. When the first float touches the first conductive contact piece 8, the first warning light 20 can be lit through the control circuit board 19, and the warning sound 23 can further emit a warning sound. The second float drives the second conductive contact piece 9 to connect with the upper conductive copper ring 6 through the second buoyancy rod 12. The upper conductive copper ring 6 is connected to the second warning light 20 through the second line 16. The second conductive contact piece 9 is also connected to the negative line of the sound and light alarm. When the second float touches the second conductive contact piece 9, the second warning light 21 can be lit through the control circuit board 19. When a water curtain appears in the well pipe, the line on one side can be connected to light up one of the first warning light 20 and the second warning light 21. Only when the probe body enters the water and the first float and the second float float up at the same time to connect the lines on both sides, can the first warning light 20 and the second warning light 21 be lit at the same time, which can effectively avoid false alarms caused by a water curtain on one side. The first float of the present invention is lower than the second float, which further improves the anti-water curtain interference ability of the present invention.

[0019] A nylon sleeve 25 is provided in the threading hole, and the center of the nylon sleeve 25 passes through the load-bearing steel wire rope 1 and the circuit cable. The bottom end of the nylon sleeve is connected to the bearing fixture, and the upper end of the nylon sleeve is provided with a fixed upper cover 26 for limiting the counterweight shell. The counterweight shell can rotate around the nylon sleeve, and the load-bearing steel wire rope and the circuit cable pass through the center of the nylon sleeve and the upper cover ring. The upper part of the upper cover ring is provided with an upper cover sealing pad 27. During the lowering process, the probe body will rotate continuously due to its own weight and the upper load-bearing steel wire rope. The longer the load-bearing steel wire rope is, the greater the rotation amplitude is. The present invention sets the counterweight shell of the probe body to be rotatable, and the counterweight shell may not rotate synchronously with the load-bearing steel wire rope and the circuit cable, which can avoid the probe body rotating too much and causing the load-bearing steel wire rope and the circuit cable to be entangled and knotted, thereby reducing the probability of the probe being stuck.

[0020] The counterweight shell is composed of an upper and lower shell, which are connected by a threaded buckle 28. The counterweight shell 2 is made of a solid metal cylindrical material with a density greater than or equal to that of iron. The detection cavity and the bottom tip of the counterweight shell are processed by milling. The float rod hole is a stepped shape with a small inner diameter and a large outer diameter; the first float and the second float are both located in the larger diameter section outside the float rod hole 10, and the first float and the second float are both provided with a reset spring 30 inside. The reset spring is stuck in the step of the float rod hole. The first buoyancy rod and the second buoyancy rod are provided with a float rod hole sealing gasket 31 at the contact part of the smaller diameter section of the float rod hole. The third conductive contact 18 is an elastic metal conductive sheet to adapt to the rolling instability of the state sensing ball 3.

[0021] The bearing fixture 7 is provided with a plurality of clamping rings, and the clamping ring 32 is used to clamp the load-bearing steel wire rope 1. By adjusting the number of clamping rings that clamp the load-bearing steel wire rope, the bearing capacity of the bearing fixture can be adjusted. The number of clamping rings that clamp the load-bearing steel wire rope is adjusted according to the weight of the probe body and the detection depth. In the event of an emergency where the probe is stuck, the load-bearing steel wire rope can be detached from the bearing fixture and the probe body can be abandoned in the well, so as to avoid too many load-bearing steel wire ropes and circuit cables being left in the well, affecting the next re-detection and reducing the detection cost.

Various modifications to the above embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
