DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an automatic water and rainfall monitoring system, including a base 1, a water collecting tank 3, a locking mechanism and a monitoring system. A support column 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the base 1, and the water collecting tank 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 2. A protective mechanism is slidably arranged in the water collecting tank 3, and the monitoring system is fixedly connected to the protective mechanism. The four sides of the water collecting tank 3 are inclined surfaces, and the design of the inclined surfaces makes the opening of the water collecting tank 3 larger than the bottom of the water collecting tank 3, which is convenient for rapid rainwater collection, so that the protective mechanism and the monitoring system in the water collecting tank 3 can monitor the rainfall conditions in time.

[0026] The monitoring system includes a rainfall measuring device, a wireless module, a control unit and a battery. The rainfall measuring device is a rain gauge, which is an existing rainfall measuring device. The specific working principle will not be repeated again. The rain gauge includes a rain receiver 10 and a sensor, and the sensor is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the rain receiver 10. The sensor, wireless module and battery are all electrically connected to the control unit. The rain receiver 10 is fixedly connected to the protective mechanism. When rainwater enters the rain receiver 10, the sensor transmits the rainfall information to the control unit. The control unit controls the wireless module according to the settings and specific rainfall conditions, converts the rainfall information into data and transmits it wirelessly to the rainfall monitoring room, so that the on-duty personnel can understand the rainfall information in time and take corresponding measures. It greatly reduces the rainfall response time, reduces the manpower burden and reduces the serious losses caused by floods.

[0027] The four sides of the water collecting box 3 are fixedly provided with sound and light alarms 17, which are electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit controls the wireless module to transmit the rain information to the rain monitoring room, and controls the battery to supply power to the sound and light alarm 17. The sound and light alarm 17 is powered on to issue a sound alarm to stay away from here, and emits a red warning light to prevent irrelevant personnel from entering the dangerous area and causing unnecessary injuries or losses.

[0028] The protective mechanism includes a float 5, a sleeve 8 and a protective assembly. A slide groove 4 is provided in the middle of the four inclined surfaces of the water collecting box 3. The float 5 slides in the slide groove 4. The sleeve 8 is fixedly provided on the front end surface of the float 5. A connecting rod 9 is slidably provided in the sleeve 8. One end of the connecting rod 9 extending out of the sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the rain receiver 10. Due to the four inclined surfaces of the water collecting box 3, the opening of the water collecting box 3 is relatively large, ensuring that rainwater can be quickly collected in the water collecting box 3 when it rains. Rainwater gathers at the bottom of the water collecting box 3, so that the float 5 floats on the water surface. As the rainwater in the water collecting box 3 gradually increases, the float 5 drives the connecting rod 9 to continuously rise through the sleeve 8, so that the connecting rod 9 drives the rain receiver 10 to rise. Since the four inclined surfaces of the water collecting box 3 are inclined surfaces, and the floating block 5 is slidably set in the slide groove 4 on the inclined surfaces, as the floating block 5 rises, the floating block 5 will gradually move away from the rain receiver 10. At this time, the connecting rod 9 gradually extends from the sleeve 8 to ensure that the floating block 5 can continue to rise.

[0029] As the floating block 5 gradually moves away from the rain receiver 10, the protective component fixedly connected to the floating block 5 also moves away from the rain receiver 10 as the floating block 5 moves away from the rain receiver 10, interrupting the protection of the rain gauge by the protective component, so that the rain receiver 10 can collect water in time and the sensor at the bottom of the rain receiver 10 can monitor the rainfall in time.

[0030] The protection assembly includes a support plate 6, a first protection plate 7, and a second protection plate 11. There are two support plates 6, and the two support plates 6 are fixedly arranged on the upper parts of two opposite floating blocks 5, and the first protection plate 7 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of one of the support plates 6. The second protection plate 11 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the other support plate 6. A protrusion that cooperates with the second protection plate 11 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the first protection plate 7. The first protection plate 7 and the second protection plate 11 cooperate above the rain receiver 10. When it is not raining, the floating block 5 is at the bottom of the water collecting tank 3, so that the first protection plate 7 and the second protection plate 11 are close to each other, avoiding debris from falling into the rain receiver 10 when it is not raining, thereby avoiding the occurrence of large monitoring errors of the rain gauge when it is raining. After the protrusion on the upper part of the first protection plate 7 cooperates with the second protection plate 11, the gap between the first protection plate 7 and the second protection plate 11 is filled, further strengthening the protection of the rain receiver 10.

[0031] When it rains, the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 move backwards with the floating block 5 as the floating block 5 rises, so that the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 are away from the rain receiver 10. The inclined angle of the water collecting tank 3 satisfies that the speed of the backward movement of the floating block 5 is greater than the upward movement speed of the floating block 5, so as to avoid the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 from continuing to cover the rain receiver 10 when the floating block 5 rises to the top of the chute 4, so that the rain receiver 10 can work better.

[0032] The locking mechanism is movably connected to the base 1. The locking mechanism includes a locking bolt 12. The locking bolt 12 and the base 1 are connected by threads. The locking bolt 12 can stably fix the base 1 at a position where rain monitoring is required.

[0033] A cavity 13 is provided inside the locking bolt 12, and a reinforcement component is movably arranged inside the cavity 13. The reinforcement component includes a stabilizing pin 14, a spring 15 and a top bolt 16. Through holes are symmetrically provided on the side walls of the cavity 13, and there are two stabilizing pins 14, which are slidably arranged in the cavity 13. A protrusion is fixedly provided at one end of the two stabilizing pins 14 close to each other, and the spring 15 is movably sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the stabilizing pin 14, one end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the protrusion, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 13. The arrangement of the spring 15 enables the stabilizing pin 14 to remain inside the locking bolt 12 under normal circumstances, avoiding obstruction to the installation of the locking bolt 12. The top bolt 16 is threadedly connected in the cavity 13, and the top bolt 16 cooperates with the stabilizing pin 14. The lower part of the top bolt 16 is chamfered, and the two stabilizing pins

[0034] The protrusions on 14 cooperate with the top bolt 16, and the upper parts of the matching surfaces of the two protrusions and the top bolt 16 are chamfered.

[0035] After the locking bolt 12 fixes the base 1, the top bolt 16 is inserted into the cavity 13 in the locking bolt 12, and the top bolt 16 is tightened with a tool. The chamfered slope at the front end of the top bolt 16 cooperates with the slopes on the two protrusions. As the top bolt 16 is continuously tightened, the top bolt 16 gradually moves downward, so that the top bolt 16 squeezes the two stabilizing pins 14 of the protrusions, so that the stabilizing pins 14 extend horizontally out of the locking bolt 12 and penetrate into the soil, increasing the contact area with the soil, making the base 1 more firmly stabilized on the bottom surface, avoiding the base 1 from being loose due to rain and causing the equipment to fall over, thereby avoiding the occurrence of detection interruption caused by the equipment falling over. The reliability of the present invention is greatly improved.

[0036] When in use, the base 1 can be stably fixed at a position where rain monitoring is required by the locking bolt 12. Then the top bolt 16 is inserted into the cavity 13 in the locking bolt 12, and the top bolt 16 is tightened with a tool. The chamfered slope at the front end of the top bolt 16 cooperates with the slopes on the two protrusions. As the top bolt 16 is continuously tightened, the top bolt 16 gradually moves downward, so that the top bolt 16 squeezes the two stabilizing pins 14 of the protrusions, so that the stabilizing pins 14 extend laterally out of the locking bolt 12 and penetrate into the soil, increasing the contact area and the complexity of the contact with the soil, making the base 1 more firmly stabilized on the bottom surface, avoiding the equipment from tipping over due to the loose soil caused by rain, thereby avoiding the occurrence of detection interruption caused by the tipping over of the equipment. The reliability of the present invention is greatly improved.

[0037] When it is not raining, since there is no water in the water collecting tank 3, the floating block 5 will be stable at the bottom of the water collecting tank 3. At this time, the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 are close to each other, which prevents debris from falling into the rain receiver 10 when it is not raining, thereby avoiding the occurrence of large monitoring errors of the rain gauge during rain. After the protrusion on the upper part of the first protective plate 7 cooperates with the second protective plate 11, the gap between the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 is filled, further strengthening the protection of the rain receiver 10. When it rains, the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 follow the floating block 5 to move backwards as the floating block 5 rises, so that the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 are away from the rain receiver 10. And the inclined angle of the water collecting tank 3 satisfies that the speed of the floating block 5 moving backwards is greater than the speed of the floating block 5 moving upwards, so as to prevent the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 from continuing to block the rain receiver 10 when the floating block 5 rises to the top of the chute 4, so that the rain receiver 10 can better perform monitoring work.

[0038] As the monitoring is carried out, rainwater enters the rain receiver 10, and the sensor transmits the rainfall information to the control unit. The control unit controls the wireless module according to the settings and specific rainfall conditions, converts the rainfall information into data and transmits it to the rainfall monitoring room through wireless, so that the on-duty personnel can understand the rainfall information in time and take corresponding measures. The rainfall response time is greatly reduced, the manpower burden is reduced, and the serious losses caused by floods are reduced. At the same time, the control unit controls the battery to power the sound and light alarm 17. The sound and light alarm 17 is powered on to issue a sound alarm to stay away from here, and a red warning light is emitted. Avoid irrelevant personnel from entering the dangerous area and causing unnecessary injuries or losses.

[0039] After the rain stops, the patrol personnel need to drain the accumulated water in the water collecting box 3. During the rainwater drainage process, the floating block 5 automatically descends. The floating block 5 drives the rain receiver 10 to descend through the sleeve 8 and the connecting rod 9, and at the same time drives the first protective plate 7 and the second protective plate 11 to descend and cooperate again, and protect the rain receiver 10 again for the next use.

[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
