AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, gyroscopes in underground water pipes cannot accurately determine whether they are in contact with water flow under conditions of insufficient lighting, resulting in low measurement efficiency.
The device employs a lead screw and lifting cylinder structure. Through the cooperation of gear one and gear two, the measuring plate rotates under the impact of water flow, driving gear two to rotate. The locking block separates from the threaded tube, enabling the gyroscope to descend and stop precisely. Combined with the threaded column driving gear one to rise and disengage from gear two, it ensures that the measuring plate stops descending after contacting the water surface.
This technology enables the gyroscope to make precise contact with and stop descending in water flow, improving the accuracy and efficiency of measurements and reducing measurement errors from multiple experiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-5 The application is further described in detail.
[0034] The application discloses a gyroscope for pipeline underground water flow direction survey. Referring to Figure 1 , the gyroscope for pipeline underground water flow direction survey comprises a lead screw 11 and a lifting cylinder 1 which is lifted by the lead screw 11 in a threaded transmission mode. The bottom end of the lifting cylinder 1 is used for mounting a gyroscope 4 and a measuring plate 12 which is used for measuring the water level.
[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the lifting cylinder 1 is a circular cylinder, and a plurality of rollers 13 are fixedly arranged on the vertical outer circumferential surface of the lifting cylinder 1. When the lifting cylinder 1 is lifted, the rollers 13 can be used for sliding cooperation with the pipe wall. The length of the lifting cylinder 1 is arranged to be equivalent to the inner diameter of the water pipe, so that the rollers 13 can be closely attached to the inner wall of the water pipe when the lifting cylinder 1 is lowered, thereby preventing the lifting cylinder 1 from rotating in the water pipe. One side of the lifting cylinder 1 is fixedly connected with a lifting box 2 which is communicated with the lifting cylinder 1. The lead screw 11 is arranged to pass through the lifting box 2. A gear one 21 is rotatably arranged in the lifting cylinder 1, and a gear two 22 which is engaged with the gear one 21 is rotatably arranged on the inner bottom surface of the lifting box 2. The lead screw 11 is coaxially connected with the gear two 22.
[0036] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a circular mounting hole 23 is coaxially arranged on the top surface of the gear two 22, a limiting tube 24 is rotatably arranged in the mounting hole 23, a threaded tube 25 is rotatably arranged in the limiting tube 24, and the lead screw 11 passes through the threaded tube 25 and is in threaded transmission cooperation with the threaded tube 25. A sliding slot one 26 is symmetrically arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the limiting tube 24 along the radial direction of the limiting tube 24, and a clamping block 27 is slidably arranged in the sliding slot one 26. Two arc-shaped slots 14 are symmetrically arranged on the inner circumferential surface of the gear two 22. In this embodiment, the central angles of the two arc-shaped slots 14 are both 90°, that is, the arc-shaped slots 14 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 23 equally divide the four sides of the mounting hole 23 into four regions, and the arc-shaped slots 14 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 23 are arranged in pairs with a spacing. One end of the clamping block 27 can be inserted into the arc-shaped slot 14, and the other end can be inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the threaded tube 25.
[0037] Since the limiting tube 24 is in rotational cooperation with the threaded tube 25, the threaded tube 25 cannot be in threaded transmission cooperation with the lead screw 11 when the threaded tube 25 is in an un-limited state. The clamping block 27 can provide a limiting action for the threaded tube 25 when the clamping block 27 is inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the threaded tube 25. When the limiting tube 24 is rotated to the state that the clamping block 27 is inserted into the arc-shaped slot 14, the clamping block 27 is separated from the threaded tube 25, and at this time, the threaded tube 25 rotates with the lead screw 11, so that the lifting box 2 stops vertical movement.
[0038] With reference to Figure 3 The clamping block 27 is fixed with a guide piece 31 on both sides, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 26 is symmetrically provided with a guide groove 32, and the guide piece 31 is slidably connected with the guide groove 32 along the radial direction of the limiting tube 24. The guide piece 31 is fixed with a return spring 33 on the side away from the threaded tube 25, and the end of the return spring 33 away from the guide piece 31 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the guide groove 32 away from the threaded tube 25.
[0039] With reference to Figure 2 The lifting cylinder 1 is fixed with a connecting cylinder 3 at the bottom, and the connecting cylinder 3 is used for setting a gyroscope 4. The gyroscope 4 includes an outer ring 41 rotatably arranged in the connecting cylinder 3 and a rotor 42 rotatably arranged in the outer ring 41. The outer ring 41 rotates around the axis of the gear 1 as the axis. The outer ring 41 is fixed with a bottom shaft 43 at the bottom of the outer circumferential surface and is fixed with a top shaft 44 at the top of the outer circumferential surface. The bottom shaft 43 is fixedly connected with the top surface of the measuring plate 12. The measuring plate 12 is a wedge-shaped block with a trapezoidal cross section. The top surface of the gear 1 is provided with a through hole 52 through which the top shaft 44 passes, and the outer circumferential surface of the top shaft 44 is fixed with a guide strip 53, and the inner wall of the through hole 52 is provided with a guide hole which is slidably connected with the guide strip 53.
[0040] The length of the narrow end of the measuring plate 12 is less than the length of the wide end. After the measuring plate 12 is immersed in water, it will rotate under the impact of water flow, and at the same time, it will drive the gear 1 to rotate, and the gear 2 will rotate to trigger the disengagement of the limiting tube 24 and the threaded tube 25. The wide end of the measuring plate 12 is fixedly connected with a floating ball 54 by a hanging line.
[0041] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner top surface of the lifting cylinder 1 is fixed with a screw rod 5, and the top surface of the gear 1 is fixed with a threaded column 51 which is in threaded transmission cooperation with the screw rod 5. Since the threaded column 51 and the screw rod 5 will be in threaded cooperation after the gear 1 rotates, and the gear 1 will rise, and after the gear 1 continuously rotates, the gear 1 will disengage from the gear 2 due to its rising, so that the gear 2 stops rotating. The screw rod 5 is provided with a straight rod section, and the threaded column 51 stops rising after moving to the straight rod section.
[0042] The implementation principle of the gyroscope 4 for pipeline underground water flow direction survey in the embodiment of the application is as follows:
[0043] After the screw rod 11 is lifted into the pipe, the supporting device of the screw rod 11 is arranged at the pipe opening part, and the lifting box 2 is connected to the screw rod 11. The motor connected to the end of the screw rod 11 is turned on to drive the screw rod 11 to rotate. At this time, the clamping block 27 is inserted into the threaded pipe 25, and the threaded pipe 25 is limited.
[0044] When the lifting cylinder 1 is lowered to the measuring plate 12 contacting the water surface, the measuring plate 12 rotates under the impact of the water flow, and drives the outer ring 41 of the gyroscope 4 to rotate, and the outer ring 41 drives the gear one 21 to rotate, and the gear one 21 drives the gear two 22 to rotate in the rotating process. After the gear two 22 rotates to the position where the arc-shaped groove 14 is aligned with the clamping block 27, the clamping block 27 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 14 under the elastic force of the reset spring 33, so that the clamping block 27 is separated from the threaded pipe 25, and the threaded pipe 25 loses the limiting action and rotates with the screw rod 11, and the lifting cylinder 1 stops descending.
[0045] In the subsequent rotating process of the measuring plate 12, the gear one 21 is gradually lifted by cooperating with the screw rod 5, and the gear one 21 is lifted to be separated from the gear two 22, and the gear two 22 stops rotating.
[0046] The data recording device connected with the gyroscope 4 is also installed in the lifting cylinder 1, which is used to store the rotating data of the gyroscope 4. After the experimental measurement is completed, the screw rod 11 is pulled out from the pipe, and the lifting cylinder 1 can be recycled.
[0047] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present application, which do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
