Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water level measurement, in particular to a device for determining the water level height of a cascade reservoir. Background Art

[0002] Reservoirs play many important roles. For example, during flood season, they can reduce peak flows by storing water, alleviate flood threats in downstream areas, protect people's lives, property and infrastructure, and use the head drop of reservoirs to generate hydroelectric power and provide clean energy. Reservoirs are usually divided into valley-type reservoirs, plain-type reservoirs, and hilly-type reservoirs according to their location and formation conditions. A cascade reservoir refers to a series of reservoirs distributed in a stepped manner formed by building multiple reservoirs on a river. Its form consists of multiple reservoirs located in different geographical locations, adjacent to upstream and downstream, and with a certain drop.

[0003] At present, it is necessary to determine the water level height of cascade reservoirs. The determination of water level height can accurately grasp the water level height, which is helpful to reasonably arrange the water storage and flood discharge of the reservoir. When the flood comes, the flood control safety of the downstream area can be guaranteed by controlling the water level. In addition, too high water level may cause excessive pressure on dams and other water conservancy facilities, threatening the safety of the project. Too low water level may affect the normal function of the reservoir.

A fixed shaft 203 is connected, a winding roller 204 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed shaft 203, a hanging rope 205 is wound around the outside of the winding roller 204, both ends of the hanging rope 205 pass through two positioning holes 108 respectively, both ends of the hanging rope 205 are fixedly connected with reinforcement blocks 208, a rain cover 206 is fixedly connected between the bottoms of the two reinforcement blocks 208, and the rain cover 206 is used to prevent a large amount of rain from pouring into the detection cover 401 from above and affecting the water surface condition inside the detection cover 401. The rain cover 206 is located above the detection cover 401, and the tops of the two reinforcement blocks 208 are fixedly connected with anti-sway telescopic rods 207. The two anti-sway telescopic rods 207 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two reinforcement blocks 208. The top of the retractable rod 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two positioning blocks 107, and the two anti-sway telescopic rods 207 are respectively arranged outside the two ends of the suspension rope 205. The installation component 1 includes a mounting plate 101, and the top of the mounting plate 101 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 103 that plays a supporting role. The top of the fixed plate 103 is provided with two fixed slides 104, and the tops of the two fixed slides 104 are fixedly connected to a connecting top plate 105. The outer surface of one side of the connecting top plate 105 is fixedly connected to a bearing plate 106, and a mounting hole 114 is provided on the top of the bearing plate 106, and an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 is arranged inside the mounting hole 114.

[0032] In this embodiment, when in use, by making the positions of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 and the detection cover 401 correspond to each other, the water surface of the measuring area is framed by the detection cover 401, so that the water surface inside the detection cover 401 will not fluctuate greatly. Under the flow effect of the multiple flow holes 402 at the bottom, the water surface height inside the detection cover 401 can be made the same as the water surface height of the reservoir at the same level, so that the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 can determine the water surface inside the detection cover 401, avoiding the influence of waves, rain, foam, etc., and reducing measurement errors.

When measuring the water level height, the forward and reverse motors 202 are started to rotate their output shafts, thereby driving the fixed shaft 203 and the winding roller 204 to rotate, so that the fixed shaft 203 and the winding roller 204 are wound around the winding roller 20 4, both ends of the hanging rope 205 on the surface are lowered simultaneously. When the hanging rope 205 is wound, the middle part is fixed on the winding roller 204, and the two ends are wound simultaneously. Both ends of the hanging rope 205 pass through the positioning hole 108, so that the lowering position of the hanging rope 205 can always be kept at the same position. At this time, the rain cover 206 will move downward until it reaches the top of the detection cover 401, which can prevent rainwater from dripping inside the detection cover 401 and affecting the detection result. The two multi-stage anti-sway telescopic rods 207 can prevent the rain cover 206 from shaking during the falling process. The ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 is used to measure the water level. The sensor emits ultrasonic pulses to the liquid surface. The ultrasonic wave propagates in the air and is reflected back after encountering the liquid surface. The sensor receives the reflected wave and records the time interval from the emission to the reception of the ultrasonic wave. Since the propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the air is known, the distance from the sensor to the liquid surface can be calculated by measuring the time interval, thereby obtaining the water level.

[0034] In this embodiment, when in use, the connecting top plate 105 and the fixed plate 103 are stacked and installed, and the connecting top plate 105 slides on the top of the fixed plate 103. By pulling the connecting top plate 105, the length between the fixed plate 103 and the connecting top plate 105 can be extended or shortened. When pulling, it is necessary to rotate the fastening bolt 112 first to separate the fastening bolt 112 from the thread groove 109, so that the slider 110 and the positioning slider 113 will slide inside the fixed slideway 104. 0 is below the fixing plate 103, and the connecting top plate 105 is above the fixing plate 103, and the slider 110 and the connecting top plate 105 are fixed together, so when the slider 110 is positioned, the connecting top plate 105 is positioned, and when the connecting top plate 105 is moved to a different position, it is only necessary to install the fastening bolt 112 inside the corresponding thread groove 109, and the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 is installed inside the mounting hole 114, and the protective cover 5 is installed thereon. The protective cover 6 is installed below it, so that the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 can be protected, which can prevent the main part of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 from aging due to rain, dust, sunlight, etc. above it, and can protect the probe part of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7, which can prevent the probe from being damaged by the natural environment for a long time, thereby improving the service life of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7. The ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 is mainly composed of a piezoelectric chip, and its working principle is: the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 sends out an ultrasonic pulse, and the sound wave is converted into an electrical signal by the receiver after being reflected by the liquid surface. The distance between the sensor and the surface of the measured liquid is calculated by the time between the emission and reception of the sound wave, thereby judging the position of the liquid. The specific working process is: the sensor sends an ultrasonic wave to the liquid surface, the ultrasonic wave propagates in the liquid, and is reflected back after encountering the interface. The receiver receives the reflected ultrasonic wave and converts it into an electrical signal. The circuit inside the sensor processes and analyzes the electrical signal, calculates the height of the liquid level, and outputs the corresponding signal or data.

[0035] Embodiment three: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the limit assembly 3 includes an I-shaped block 301, which is slidably connected inside the movable opening 102, and the outer surface of the I-shaped block 301 is fixedly connected to the limit telescopic rod 302, and each connection section of the limit telescopic rod 302 is threadedly embedded with a positioning bolt 303, one end of the limit telescopic rod 302 is fixedly connected to a reinforcement block 304, and the reinforcement block 304 is used to strengthen the connection, the outer surface of the reinforcement block 304 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 305, one end of the fixing rod 305 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 306, and the fixing block 306 is fixedly installed on the outside of the detection cover 401.

[0036] In this embodiment, when in use, the length of the limit telescopic rod 302 needs to be adjusted. First, the positioning bolt 303 is loosened, and then the length of the limit telescopic rod 302 is adjusted so that the position of the detection cover 401 is in a vertical position with the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7, and then the positioning bolt 303 is tightened. The limit telescopic rod 302 and the fixing rod 305 can be installed together through the reinforcing block 304, and then the connection with the detection cover 401 is completed through the fixing block 306, wherein the I-shaped block 301 slides inside the movable opening 102. Therefore, when the detection cover 401 floats on the water, the limit telescopic rod 302 will move up and down at the same time, and the I-shaped block 301 will play a limiting role, so that the limit telescopic rod 302 can only move up and down and will not drift away from the original position.

[0037] The method of use and working principle of the device: When in use, by making the positions of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 and the detection cover 401 correspond, the water surface of the measurement area is framed by the detection cover 401, so that the water surface inside the detection cover 401 will not fluctuate greatly. Under the flow effect of the multiple flow holes 402 at the bottom, the water surface height inside the detection cover 401 can be made the same as the water surface height of the reservoir at the same level, so that the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 can determine the water surface inside the detection cover 401. When the detection cover 401 is in use, the floating plate 405 above it will make the upper part of the detection cover 401 float on the water surface without sinking, and the lower part of the detection cover 401 can be pulled downward by multiple gravity anchors 408, so that the detection cover 401 is pulled straight and stands steadily on the water surface. When measuring the water level, the forward and reverse motor 202 is started to rotate its output shaft, thereby driving the fixed shaft 203 and the roller 204 to rotate, so that the two ends of the suspension rope 205 wound on the surface of the roller 204 are lowered at the same time. When the suspension rope 205 is wound, the middle part is fixed on the roller 204, and the two ends are wound at the same time. The two ends of the suspension rope 205 pass through the positioning hole 108, so that the lowering position of the suspension rope 205 can always be kept in the same position. At this time, the rain cover 206 will move downward until it reaches the top of the detection cover 401. The two multi-stage anti-sway telescopic rods 207 can prevent the rain cover 206 from shaking during the falling process. The water level is measured using the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7, and the sensor emits a signal to the liquid surface. Ultrasonic pulse, ultrasonic wave propagates in the air, and is reflected back after encountering the liquid surface. The sensor receives the reflected wave and records the time interval from the emission to the reception of the ultrasonic wave. Since the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave in the air is known, by measuring the time interval, the distance from the sensor to the liquid surface can be calculated, thereby obtaining the water level height. The specific measurement steps are: the sensor transmits a beam of ultrasonic pulse to the liquid surface, the sensor waits for and receives the ultrasonic wave reflected from the liquid surface, and the timing circuit inside the sensor accurately measures the time interval from the emission to the reception of the ultrasonic wave. According to the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave in the air and the measured time interval, the formula "distance = propagation speed × time interval / 2" is used to calculate the distance from the sensor to the liquid surface, and the distance from the sensor installation position to the reservoir is calculated. The water level height can be obtained by subtracting the calculated distance from the sensor to the liquid surface from the known distance at the bottom. The measured water level height data is processed and converted and output to the monitoring system or display device as a digital signal. When in use, the connecting top plate 105 and the fixed plate 103 are stacked and installed, and the connecting top plate 105 slides on the top of the fixed plate 103. The length between the fixed plate 103 and the connecting top plate 105 can be extended or shortened by pulling the connecting top plate 105. When pulling, it is necessary to rotate the fastening bolt 112 first to separate the fastening bolt 112 from the threaded groove 109. Then the slider 110 and the positioning slider 113 will slide inside the fixed slide 104. Since the bottom of the slider 110 is below the fixed plate 103,The connecting top plate 105 is above the fixed plate 103, and the slider 110 and the connecting top plate 105 are fixed together. Therefore, when the slider 110 is positioned, the connecting top plate 105 is also positioned. When the connecting top plate 105 is moved to a different position, it is only necessary to install the fastening bolts 112 inside the corresponding threaded grooves 109. By installing the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 inside the mounting hole 114, and installing the protective cover 5 above it, and installing the protective cover 6 below it, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7 can be protected. When in use, the length of the limiting telescopic rod 302 needs to be adjusted. First, loosen the positioning screw Bolt 303, and then adjust the length of the limit telescopic rod 302, so that the position of the detection cover 401 is in a vertical position with the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 7, and then tighten the positioning bolt 303, and the limit telescopic rod 302 and the fixing rod 305 can be installed together through the reinforcing block 304, and then the connection with the detection cover 401 is completed through the fixing block 306, wherein the I-shaped block 301 slides inside the movable opening 102, so when the detection cover 401 floats on the water, the limit telescopic rod 302 will move up and down at the same time, and the I-shaped block 301 will play a limiting role, so that the limit telescopic rod 302 can only move up and down, and will not drift away from the original position.
