Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water and rainfall monitoring technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent water and rainfall telemetry terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Telemetry terminals are intelligent terminal devices that acquire data from various sensors using an embedded system electronic device and transmit the data remotely to the monitoring and control center via a wireless communication network. The embedded system electronic device mainly includes modules for sensor acquisition and data linkage verification and updating of hydrological elements such as water level, rainfall, and water flow; an ARM-based embedded system; RS485 communication; and multi-communication wireless networking. Widely used in remote monitoring and control systems in the fields of hydrology and water resources, telemetry terminals are often installed near reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and other hydrological resources, subject to long-term exposure to rain and water mist. This can easily lead to moisture entering the terminal, compromising its operational safety. While using partitions to prevent moisture ingress can hinder heat dissipation during operation, resulting in higher operating temperatures and reduced lifespan, existing telemetry terminals often lack adaptability to changes in the external environment, making them susceptible to accelerated damage. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent telemetry terminal for water and rainfall conditions to solve the problems encountered in the aforementioned background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent hydrological and rainfall telemetry terminal, comprising:

[0004] A fixed base is used to fix the telemetry terminal in the monitoring area, and a side fixing component is provided on the outside for fixed installation.

[0005] The support column is fixed to the fixed base, and auxiliary fixing columns are arranged in a ring around it;

[0006] The embedded system electronic device body is fixed to the top of the support column;

[0007] The side sealing device is coaxially arranged with the body of the embedded system electronic device, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom of the body of the embedded system electronic device through a connecting ring surface;

[0008] A top sealing device is fixed to the top of the side sealing device;

[0009] Connect the housing and fix it at the connection between the top sealing device and the side sealing device.

[0010] Furthermore, preferably, the support column is a telescopic structure, and the auxiliary fixing column is a column of various specifications. In specific implementation, the fixing base is fixed to the ground, and the side fixing parts distributed in a ring on the outside provide auxiliary fixation to the fixing base. Then, the support column supports and fixes the embedded system electronic device body. The height of the embedded system electronic device body is determined by adjusting the telescopic extension of the support column. Then, the corresponding specification of the auxiliary fixing column is selected to support and fix the embedded system electronic device body to ensure that the position remains fixed during long-term operation.

[0011] Furthermore, preferably, the side sealing device includes:

[0012] The lower ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the embedded system electronic device body via a connecting ring surface;

[0013] The upper ring body is fixedly connected to the top sealing device at the top and fixedly connected to the connecting housing on the side.

[0014] Rotating blades are arranged in a ring, with multiple blades distributed in a circular pattern between the lower ring body and the upper ring body, and the rotating blades are stacked on top of each other in sequence;

[0015] A rotating shaft is set corresponding to the rotating blade and fixed at both ends of the rotating blade, and the upper and lower rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the upper ring body and the lower ring body respectively;

[0016] The transmission gear is located at the top of the upper ring body and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts. When the transmission gear rotates clockwise, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate clockwise as well. The rotating blades rotate between the upper and lower ring bodies under the drive of the shaft, and the rotating blades overlap in sequence to seal the side of the telemetry terminal, preventing moisture from entering and affecting the safe operation of the telemetry terminal. When the transmission gear rotates counterclockwise, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate counterclockwise as well. The rotating blades rotate between the upper and lower ring bodies under the drive of the shaft, and the rotating blades separate in sequence, forming multiple ventilation openings on the side of the telemetry terminal to facilitate gas circulation and continuous heat dissipation for the embedded system electronic equipment inside the telemetry terminal, preventing the electronic equipment from overheating and reducing the service life of the telemetry terminal due to high temperature operation.

[0017] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the upper ring body is equipped with a transmission structure to enable multiple upper rotating shafts to rotate synchronously. That is, driven by the transmission gear, one upper rotating shaft rotates, and then, under the action of the transmission mechanism, the other rotating shafts follow suit, driving multiple rotating blades to rotate synchronously, thus sealing or opening the side of the telemetry terminal.

[0018] Furthermore, preferably, the top sealing device includes:

[0019] The fixed panel is fixedly connected to the connecting housing at its bottom edge;

[0020] Positioning columns are arranged in a ring, with one end fixed to the bottom of the fixed panel and the other end fixedly connected to the upper ring.

[0021] The rotating panel is located between the fixed panel and the upper ring, and its inner ring is connected to the rotating mechanism.

[0022] Multiple sealing plates are arranged in a ring and are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the fixed panel;

[0023] An arc-shaped connecting rod is set to correspond with the sealing plate, and the two ends of the rod are rotatably connected to the rotating panel and the sealing plate, respectively.

[0024] The transmission gear ring is fixed to the bottom of the rotating panel and meshes with the transmission gear. That is, when the rotating panel rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the rotating mechanism, the arc-shaped connecting rod drives the sealing plate to rotate on the fixed panel, sealing the center of the fixed panel. Simultaneously, the transmission gear ring follows the rotating panel, driving the transmission gear to rotate clockwise. Under the action of the transmission mechanism inside the upper rotating shaft and upper ring body, multiple rotating blades rotate synchronously clockwise, sealing the side of the telemetry terminal to prevent rainwater from entering the electronic equipment and affecting it. Conversely, when the rotating panel rotates clockwise under the drive of the rotating mechanism, the arc-shaped connecting rod drives the sealing plate to rotate on the fixed panel, opening the center of the fixed panel. Simultaneously, the transmission gear ring follows the rotating panel, driving the transmission gear to rotate counterclockwise. Under the action of the transmission mechanism inside the upper rotating shaft and upper ring body, multiple rotating blades rotate synchronously counterclockwise, opening the side of the telemetry terminal and ventilating and cooling the embedded system electronic equipment body that generates high heat during operation.

[0025] Furthermore, preferably, the mating surfaces of the fixed panel and the sealing plate are provided with a transmission channel, the bottom of which is at the same level as the top of the connecting housing. When the sealing plate seals the top of the embedded system electronic device, water can easily accumulate on the fixed panel because the sealing plate is below it. The transmission channel allows the water to drain directly to the outside of the fixed panel and then out through the upper surface of the connecting housing, effectively preventing water from corroding the embedded system electronic device.

[0026] Furthermore, preferably, the rotating panel is provided with multiple annularly distributed limiting grooves, which correspond to the positioning columns. When the rotating panel rotates, the limiting grooves move on the positioning columns, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating panel. When the rotating panel rotates counterclockwise and is restricted by the positioning columns, the sealing plate completely seals the top of the telemetry terminal. When the rotating panel rotates clockwise and is restricted by the positioning columns, the sealing plate is in an open state, allowing for ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0027] Furthermore, preferably, the transmission gear ring is located between multiple positioning posts, and the transmission gear meshing with the transmission gear ring is located between two adjacent positioning posts. That is, when the rotating panel drives the transmission gear ring to rotate, the transmission gear ring rotates synchronously with the rotating panel and is not restricted by the positioning posts. Moreover, the transmission gear and the positioning posts are staggered, which effectively avoids the positioning posts restricting the rotation of the transmission gear and prevents jamming.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] In this invention, the side and top sealing devices allow for continuous ventilation and heat dissipation of the embedded system electronic device body during operation on sunny days, keeping the embedded system electronic device at a good operating temperature. On rainy days, the sealing devices close to prevent moisture from entering the embedded system electronic device body and affecting operational safety, thus effectively protecting the embedded system electronic device body. Furthermore, the top water is promptly drained through the transmission channel. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the invention, an intelligent hydrological and rainfall telemetry terminal includes:

[0038] The fixed base 1 is fixed in the monitoring area, and the side fixing part 11 is provided on the outside to fix the telemetry terminal.

[0039] Support column 2 is fixed on fixed base 1, and auxiliary fixed columns 21 are arranged in a ring around it;

[0040] The embedded system electronic device body 3 is fixed to the top of the support column 2;

[0041] The side sealing device 4 is coaxially arranged with the embedded system electronic device body 3, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom of the embedded system electronic device body 3 through a connecting ring surface;

[0042] The top sealing device 5 is fixed to the top of the side sealing device 4;

[0043] The connecting housing 6 is fixed at the connection between the top sealing device 5 and the side sealing device 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, the support column 2 is a telescopic structure, and the auxiliary fixing column 21 is a column of multiple specifications. In specific implementation, the fixed base 1 is fixed on the ground, and the side fixing parts 11 distributed in a ring on the outside provide auxiliary fixation for the fixed base 1. Then, the support column 2 supports and fixes the embedded system electronic device body 3. The height of the embedded system electronic device body 3 is determined by adjusting the telescopic extension of the support column 2. Then, the corresponding specification of the auxiliary fixing column 21 is selected to support and fix the embedded system electronic device body 3 to ensure that the position remains fixed during long-term operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the side sealing device 4 includes:

[0046] The lower ring 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the embedded system electronic device body 3 via a connecting ring surface;

[0047] The upper ring body 42 is fixedly connected to the top sealing device 5 at the top and to the connecting housing 6 at the side;

[0048] Rotating blades 43 are arranged in a ring, with multiple blades distributed in a ring between the lower ring body 41 and the upper ring body 42, and the rotating blades 43 are stacked sequentially.

[0049] The rotating shaft 44 is correspondingly provided to the rotating blade 43 and is fixed at both ends of the rotating blade 43. The upper and lower rotating shafts 44 are rotatably connected to the upper ring body 42 and the lower ring body 41, respectively.

[0050] The transmission gear 45 is located at the top of the upper ring body 42 and is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts 44. When the transmission gear 45 rotates clockwise, driving the rotating shaft 44 to rotate clockwise, the rotating blades 43 rotate between the upper ring body 42 and the lower ring body 41 under the drive of the rotating shaft 44. The rotating blades 43 are stacked in sequence to seal the side of the telemetry terminal to prevent moisture from entering and affecting the safe operation of the telemetry terminal. When the transmission gear 45 rotates counterclockwise, driving the rotating shaft 44 to rotate counterclockwise, the rotating blades 43 rotate between the upper ring body 42 and the lower ring body 41 under the drive of the rotating shaft 44. The rotating blades 43 separate in sequence, forming multiple ventilation holes on the side of the telemetry terminal to allow for air circulation and continuous heat dissipation of the embedded system electronic device body 3 inside the telemetry terminal, preventing the electronic device from overheating and reducing the service life of the telemetry terminal under high temperature.

[0051] In this embodiment, the upper ring body 42 is equipped with a transmission structure inside, which enables multiple upper rotating shafts 44 to rotate synchronously. That is, driven by the transmission gear 45, one of the upper rotating shafts 44 rotates, and then, under the action of the transmission mechanism, the other rotating shafts 44 follow suit, driving multiple rotating blades 43 to rotate synchronously, thus sealing or opening the side of the telemetry terminal.

[0052] In this embodiment, the top sealing device 5 includes:

[0053] The bottom edge of the fixed panel 51 is fixedly connected to the connecting housing 6;

[0054] Positioning columns 52 are arranged in a ring, with one end fixed to the bottom of the fixing panel 51 and the other end fixedly connected to the upper ring 42.

[0055] The rotating panel 53 is located between the fixed panel 51 and the upper ring 42, and its inner ring is connected to the rotating mechanism.

[0056] Multiple sealing plates 54 are arranged in a ring and are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the fixed panel 51;

[0057] An arc-shaped connecting rod 55 is provided correspondingly to the sealing plate 54, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the rotating panel 53 and the sealing plate 54, respectively.

[0058] The transmission gear ring 56 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating panel 53 and meshes with the transmission gear 45. That is, when the rotating panel 53 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the rotating mechanism, the arc-shaped connecting rod 55 drives the sealing plate 54 to rotate on the fixed panel 51, sealing the center of the fixed panel 51. Simultaneously, the transmission gear ring 56 follows the rotation of the rotating panel 53, thereby driving the transmission gear 45 to rotate clockwise. Under the action of the transmission mechanism inside the upper rotating shaft 44 and the upper ring body 42, multiple rotating blades 43 rotate synchronously clockwise, sealing the side of the telemetry terminal to prevent rainwater from entering the embedded system electronic device body 3 and affecting the operation of the telemetry terminal. This has an impact; conversely, when the rotating panel 53 rotates clockwise under the drive of the rotating mechanism, the arc-shaped connecting rod 55 drives the sealing plate 54 to rotate on the fixed panel 51, opening the center of the fixed panel 51. At the same time, the transmission gear ring 56 follows the rotating panel 53 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission gear 45 to rotate counterclockwise. Under the action of the transmission mechanism inside the upper rotating shaft 44 and the upper ring body 42, multiple rotating blades 43 rotate counterclockwise synchronously, opening the side of the telemetry terminal and ventilating and cooling the embedded system electronic device body 3 that generates high heat during operation.

[0059] In this embodiment, the mating surfaces of the fixed panel 51 and the sealing plate 54 are provided with a transmission channel 511, the bottom of which is at the same level as the top of the connecting housing 6. When the sealing plate 54 seals the top of the electronic device, water can easily accumulate on the fixed panel 51 because the sealing plate 54 is located below the fixed panel 51. Under the action of the transmission channel 511, the accumulated water is directly discharged to the outside of the fixed panel 51 and then discharged through the upper surface of the connecting housing 6, effectively preventing water from corroding the telemetry terminal and the electronic device body.

[0060] In this embodiment, the rotating panel 53 is provided with a plurality of annularly distributed limiting grooves 531, which correspond to the positioning column 52. When the rotating panel 53 rotates, the limiting grooves 531 move on the positioning column 52, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating panel 53 under the restriction of the positioning column 52. When the rotating panel 53 rotates counterclockwise and is restricted by the positioning column 52, the sealing plate 54 completely seals the top of the telemetry terminal. When the rotating panel 53 rotates clockwise and is restricted by the positioning column 52, the sealing plate 54 is in an open state for ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0061] In this embodiment, the transmission gear ring 56 is located between multiple positioning posts 52, and the transmission gear 45 meshing with the transmission gear ring 56 is located between two adjacent positioning posts 52. That is, when the rotating panel 53 drives the transmission gear ring 56 to rotate, the transmission gear ring 56 is synchronized with the rotating panel 53 and is not restricted by the positioning posts 52. Furthermore, the transmission gear 45 is misaligned with the positioning posts 52, effectively preventing the positioning posts 52 from restricting the rotation of the transmission gear 45 and thus preventing jamming.

[0062] In practice, the base 1 is first fixed to the ground. The outer ring-shaped side fixing pieces 11 provide auxiliary fixation to the base 1. Then, the embedded system electronic device body 3 is supported and fixed via the support column 2. The height of the embedded system electronic device body 3 is determined by adjusting the extension and retraction of the support column 2. Then, an auxiliary fixing column 21 of the corresponding specification is selected to support and fix the embedded system electronic device body 3. After fixing, the embedded system electronic device body 3 is set up for periodic data acquisition. Under normal working conditions on a sunny day, the top sealing plate 54 and the side rotating blades 43 are both in the open state, promoting gas circulation inside the telemetry terminal, dissipating heat from the electronic device, and effectively preventing the telemetry terminal from operating at high temperatures. This reduces the service life of the telemetry terminal. In severe weather, the rotating mechanism drives the rotating panel 53 to rotate counterclockwise, and the arc-shaped connecting rod 55 drives the sealing plate 54 to rotate on the fixed panel 51, sealing the center of the fixed panel 51. At the same time, the transmission gear ring 56 follows the rotating panel 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 45 to rotate clockwise. Under the action of the transmission mechanism inside the upper rotating shaft 44 and the upper ring body 42, multiple rotating blades 43 rotate clockwise synchronously, sealing the side of the telemetry terminal to prevent severe weather from damaging the embedded system electronic device body 3 and to prevent moisture from entering the electronic device and affecting it. The telemetry terminal can adjust the protection of the telemetry terminal electronic device body in real time according to changes in the external environment.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
