[0024] 2) Simulated River Water: Water is poured into a pool and passed through a cold water heat exchanger or a hot water heat exchanger to simulate water temperature. The water, after being conditioned, enters a sand filter for filtration. Then, it is pumped into a Venturi mixer. The water flows at high speed through the Venturi mixer, creating negative pressure. This negative pressure draws sand from the sand box into the Venturi mixer for mixing. The mixture is then sprayed into the pool through the inlet pipe to simulate actual river conditions. The water entering the pool falls onto the simulated riverbed and is turbulent as it passes through a turbulence plate.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] A typical aquatic environment simulation testing device includes:

[0044] The pool 1 has a simulated riverbed 121 and a water level regulating mechanism 122 arranged from right to left inside. The pool 1 also has an adjustment mechanism 1214 for adjusting the height and tilt angle of the simulated riverbed 121. Multiple turbulence plates 1213 are arranged on the simulated riverbed 121 to simulate turbulence. The right side of the pool 1 has an inlet pipe 8, which is located above the simulated riverbed 121. The left side of the pool 1 has an outlet pipe.

[0045] Specifically, the simulated riverbed 121 includes an inclined plate 1211 and a horizontal plate 1212. The left end of the inclined plate 1211 is hinged to the bottom of the pool, and the right end of the inclined plate 1211 is inclined upward and hinged to the left end of the horizontal plate 1212. The right end of the horizontal plate 1212 is mounted on the adjustment mechanism 1214. There are several turbulence plates 1213, which are detachably mounted on the upper surface of the inclined plate 1211. The detachable mounting method facilitates the adjustment of the spacing and number of turbulence plates. The turbulence plates can be set at equal or non-equal intervals as needed.

[0046] The adjustment mechanism 1214 includes a drive roller 12141, a driven roller 12142, a conveyor belt 12143, a motor 12144, and an adjusting block 12145. The drive roller 12141 and the driven roller 12142 are arranged vertically inside the water tank 1. The drive roller 12141 is driven by the motor 12144. The conveyor belt 12143 is wound around the drive roller 12141 and the driven roller 12142. The width of the conveyor belt 12143 is equal to the width of the water tank 1. An adjusting block 12145 is connected to the connection of the conveyor belt 12143. The length of the adjusting block 12145 is equal to the width of the conveyor belt 12143. The adjusting block 12145 is provided with a slit for inserting the right end of the horizontal plate 1212, and the right end of the horizontal plate 1212 can move within the slit.

[0047] When the conveyor belt 12143 moves under the action of the motor, the horizontal plate is inserted into the adjusting block, which can drive the horizontal plate 1212 to rise or fall. When the horizontal plate rises, due to the increase in the height of the horizontal plate and the inclined plate, the horizontal plate is pulled to the left a certain distance out of the adjusting block; when the horizontal plate falls, the horizontal plate and the inclined plate are lowered, and the horizontal plate is further inserted to the right into the adjusting block a certain distance. This structure realizes the rising and falling of the horizontal plate.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, a vertically arranged partition 11 is provided in the water tank 1, dividing the water tank 1 into a test tank 12 on the left and an equipment tank 13 on the right. The simulated riverbed 121 is located in the test tank 12, and the adjustment mechanism 1214 is located in the equipment tank 13. Specifically, the partition consists of two parts, upper and lower, with a gap between them to facilitate the insertion of a horizontal plate into the adjustment block and its vertical movement.

[0049] Specifically, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the inclined plate, the upper surface of the inclined plate 1211 is provided with several parallel slots 1215. The length extension direction of the slots is parallel to the width direction of the inclined plate. The turbulence plate 1213 is inserted into the slot 1215, and the side wall of the slot 1215 is screwed with fastening screws 1216 for fixing the turbulence plate 1213.

[0050] Specifically, the water level regulating mechanism 122 includes a baffle plate 1221, a scissor-type telescopic frame 1222, a screw 1223, and a nut 1224. Several baffle plates 1221 are vertically arranged and stacked in a stepped configuration. These baffle plates 1221 are connected by the vertically telescopic scissor-type telescopic frame 1222. The baffle plates 1221 are slidably mounted on the inner wall of the water tank 1 on both sides. The screw 1223 is vertically rotatably mounted on one side of the baffle plate 1221. A nut 1224 is fixed to the uppermost baffle plate 1221, and the nut 1224 is sleeved on the screw 1223 and screwed to it. When the screw 1223 is rotated, the nut moves up and down along the screw, thereby pulling the baffle plate up and down, thus adjusting the height of the baffle plate, i.e., regulating the water level.

[0051] Above the simulated riverbed 121, there are several vertically arranged diversion plates 123 arranged side by side. The diversion plates divide the water entering the pool into several parallel streams, so that the flow velocity in the width direction of the entire simulated riverbed remains uniform. Specifically, the lower end of the diversion plate 123 rests on the simulated riverbed 121, and the diversion plate 123 is vertically slidably set on the side wall of the pool 1. When the simulated riverbed moves up and down, the diversion plate also moves up and down accordingly, and the diversion plate always stays on the surface of the simulated riverbed to ensure the diversion effect.

[0052] Meanwhile, the water inlet pipe 8 includes a main pipe 81 and branch pipes 82 connected to the main pipe 81. The number of branch pipes 82 is equal to the number of spaces divided by the diversion plate 123, and each branch pipe 82 extends into the corresponding space to ensure a consistent flow rate.

[0053] Cold water heat exchanger 2 is connected to the outlet pipe and is used to provide cold water;

[0054] Hot water heat exchanger 3 is connected to the outlet pipe and is used to provide hot water. Hot water heat exchanger 3 and cold water heat exchanger 2 can be used together to simulate water temperature in different seasons and regions.

[0055] Sand filter 4 is connected to cold water heat exchanger 2 and hot water heat exchanger 3 respectively via connecting pipes;

[0056] Water pump 5 has its inlet connected to sand filter 4 and its outlet connected to the inlet of venturi mixer 7. The outlet of venturi mixer 7 is connected to water inlet pipe 8.

[0057] The sand box 6 is connected to the vertical inlet of the Venturi mixer 7 so that the sand in the sand box 6 is drawn into the Venturi mixer 7 and mixed with water under negative pressure; the sand box is also connected to the sand filter through a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is equipped with a pump for pumping sand into the sand box.

[0058] Control console 9 is used to control the start and stop of the chilled water heat exchanger 2, the hot water heat exchanger 3, the sand filter 4, and the water pump 5;

[0059] The simulated riverbed 121 is also equipped with a temperature sensor, a sand content sensor, and a water flow sensor, which are connected to the control console 9.

[0060] The console uses a PLC controller with a touchscreen display, and test parameters can be modified via the touchscreen.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the riverbed angle is 0-15 degrees, the water flow velocity is 0.5 m / s, the water temperature is 10℃-35℃, and the sand content is 0-35 kg / m³. 3 Sample placement angle: 45-90°, riverbed width: 1m.

[0062] Figure 8 This is a flowchart of the usage of a typical aquatic environment simulation test device. Before use, the turbulent environment is set up: according to the actual terrain slope ratio, the height and tilt angle of the simulated riverbed 121 are adjusted by adjusting mechanism 1214. The turbulence plate 1213 on the simulated riverbed 121 can simulate the turbulent state of water. The water level height to be simulated is adjusted by the water level adjustment mechanism.

[0063] In operation, water initially passes through a cold or hot water heat exchanger into the sand filter. It is then pumped into a Venturi mixer, where high-speed flow creates negative pressure. This negative pressure draws sand into the mixer, mixes it, and sprays it into a pool through an inlet pipe. The water then falls onto a simulated riverbed, creating turbulence through a flow plate. The water level can be adjusted by changing the baffle height. Water overflowing the baffle passes through the cold or hot water heat exchanger again before returning to the sand filter. The sand in the filter is then pumped back into a sand box, achieving sand recycling. This process is repeated to ensure water circulation.

[0064] During this period, temperature sensors, sand content sensors, and water flow sensors can be used to monitor water temperature, sand content, and water flow rate, which facilitates adjustment.

[0065] During the simulation, the simulated aquatic environment can also be changed. The height and tilt angle of the simulated riverbed 121 can be changed by adjusting mechanism 1214 to simulate changes in terrain; the water level can be changed by adjusting mechanism to simulate changes in river water level.

[0066] The typical aquatic environment simulation testing device described in this invention is used to simulate river erosion. It allows for setting water flow velocity, test water temperature, riverbed angle, etc., to simulate the aquatic environment conditions for disaster relief and rescue, and to test and verify the performance of fire-fighting water rescue equipment. The simulated riverbed in the pool has adjustable height and tilt angle to simulate different riverbed conditions as needed. A turbulence plate is installed on the simulated riverbed to simulate turbulence. A hot water heat exchanger and a cold water heat exchanger are used together to simulate water temperatures in different seasons and regions. The inlet pipe is equipped with a Venturi mixer to mix fine sand with water before introducing it into the simulated riverbed, simulating actual river conditions. This typical aquatic environment simulation testing device can simulate typical aquatic environments, making simulation testing simple and reliable.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

The water overflowing the baffle flows out and passes through the cold water heat exchanger or the hot water heat exchanger again, and then comes to the sand filter. This process is repeated to achieve the circulation of water. 3) Change the simulation environment: During the simulation, the height and tilt angle of the simulated riverbed (121) are changed by adjusting the mechanism (1214) to simulate the change of terrain; the water level is changed by adjusting the water level mechanism to simulate the change of river water level.
