DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cable well monitoring device according to the present invention comprises a support part 2 arranged at the bottom of a well cover 1, and the support part 2 and the well cover 1 are preferably detachably connected to facilitate replacement and adjustment thereof, wherein the support part 2 is coaxially arranged with the well cover 1, and the upper and lower ends of one side of the support part 2 are respectively rotatably arranged with a first guide wheel 3 and a second guide wheel 4, wherein the axes of the first guide wheel 3 and the second guide wheel 4 are not in the same straight line; a counterweight block 6 is arranged at one end of the measuring ruler 5, and a floating ball 7 is connected to the other end after passing through the top of the first guide wheel 3 and the bottom of the second guide wheel 4 in turn, and the floating ball 7 is movably connected to the support part 2; in the initial state, the counterweight block 6 and the floating ball 7 are both located at the lower part of the support part 2; a distance measuring sensor 8 is connected to the rotating shaft of the first guide wheel 3 or the second guide wheel 4, and the distance measuring sensor 8 can adopt a photoelectric coding sensor, and the number of rotations of the rotating shaft is used to judge the distance that the floating ball 7 drives the measuring ruler 5 to rise, so as to facilitate remote monitoring by the staff. The specific model of the photoelectric coding sensor can be adaptively matched according to the installation position of the entire monitoring device, the internal environment of the well and the size of the rotating shaft.

[0018] During operation, the rising water level pushes the float 7 up, and the buoyancy is greater than the weight of the counterweight 6. The float 7 will pull the measuring ruler 5 to move and drive the counterweight 6 to rise. At this time, the first guide wheel 3 and the second guide wheel 4 will rotate synchronously, and the photoelectric encoding sensor will process the data of the clockwise rotation of the detected shaft and send it to the background for remote monitoring by the staff; water level monitoring can be carried out without opening the manhole cover 1, which saves time and effort and has high safety; after use, as the water level drops, the measuring ruler 5 and the float 7 will be reset under the drive of the counterweight 6; the setting of the measuring ruler 5 is also convenient for opening the manhole cover 1 on site to intuitively read data, thereby enhancing the practicality of the present invention.

[0019] Furthermore, an observation port 9 is provided through the manhole cover 1 above the first guide wheel 3, and scale lines are provided on the measuring ruler 5; the setting of the observation port 9 facilitates the on-site staff to directly read the scale on the measuring ruler 5 through it. In addition, a transparent protective cover 10 is provided on the observation port 9, and the protective cover 10 can be made of transparent glass or transparent plastic material, and the top of the protective cover 10 does not protrude from the observation port 9 to reduce the wear and tear on the protective cover 10. Preferably, the top of the protective cover 10 is lower than the top of the observation port 9, and a sealing plug 11 is detachably provided in the observation port 9 above the protective cover 10. Under normal conditions, the sealing plug 11 is inserted into the observation port 9 to protect the protective cover 10.

[0020] Furthermore, the support part 2 is a sleeve structure with a hollow interior, and a support frame 12 is arranged inside the support part 2. The support frame 12 is a hollow structure for water flow to pass through. In the initial state, the float 7 is located on the support frame 12 to provide support for the float 7. In addition, a limit plate 13 is arranged on the counterweight 6, and a limit groove 14 is provided on the support part 2 in the vertical direction. The limit plate 13 is slidably connected with the limit groove 14, which can ensure the stability of the counterweight 6 moving up and down and avoid the counterweight 6 from swinging during the up and down movement. Preferably, a ball is movably arranged on the limit plate 13, and the ball is movably located in the limit groove 14, further reducing the friction between the limit plate 13 and the limit groove 14, so that the limit plate 13 can slide up and down smoothly along the limit groove 14. In addition, a brush 15 for cleaning the measuring ruler 5 is arranged on the limit plate 13, which can clean the dirt adhering to the surface of the measuring ruler 5 during the movement, ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the measuring ruler 5, so that the workers can read the data intuitively on site.

[0021] Further, a measuring sleeve 16 is coaxially movably arranged in the support part 2, and a scale is arranged on the measuring sleeve 16. The measuring sleeve 16 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior. A movable hole for the measuring sleeve 16 to pass through is arranged on the manhole cover 1. A limit block 17 is arranged on the inner wall of the measuring sleeve 16, and a limit plate 18 is arranged at the bottom of the float 7. The diameter of the limit plate 18 is smaller than the inner diameter of the measuring sleeve 16; a limit cavity 19 is arranged on the side of the limit plate 18, and an avoidance groove 20 penetrating the limit cavity 19 is arranged on the limit plate 18; in the initial state, the measuring sleeve 16 The sleeve is arranged on the outside of the limit plate 18, and the limit block 17 is located in the avoidance groove 20. Preferably, after the limit block 17 is located in the avoidance groove 20, its top is not higher than the top of the limit cavity 19, and its bottom is not lower than the bottom of the limit cavity 19, so that the measuring sleeve 16 can be rotated and the limit block 17 can smoothly enter the limit cavity 19. A sealing disk 21 is arranged on the top of the measuring sleeve 16, and the sealing disk 21 is detachably arranged in the movable hole. The inner wall of the movable hole is provided with a convex edge for receiving the sealing disk 21, and the sealing disk 21 is detachably fixed on the convex edge by bolts.

[0022] The setting of the measuring sleeve 16 can release the fixed connection of the sealing disk 21 when necessary, and rotate the measuring sleeve 16 to place the limit block 17 in the limit cavity 19. At this time, as the water level rises, the float 7 will push the measuring sleeve 16 to rise from the manhole cover 1, so that the water level rise can be observed more intuitively on site, avoiding the situation where rainwater drips on the ground and covers the protective cover 10, making it inconvenient to read the data on site; in addition, an overflow hole 22 is opened on the side wall of the measuring sleeve 16 in the vertical direction, which is convenient for using the overflow hole when there is heavy rain on the road surface 22 is used to increase the efficiency of water discharge into the well. Preferably, a filter screen 23 is provided on the overflow hole 22 to filter the dirt entrained in the rainwater to avoid clogging caused by the rainwater flowing into the well. A conical guide sleeve 24 is provided in the measuring sleeve 16, and a drainage hole for rainwater to drip is formed between the guide sleeve 24 and the inner wall of the measuring sleeve 16. The setting of the guide sleeve 24 can guide the rainwater entering the measuring sleeve 16 to the surrounding side to avoid the rainwater flowing into the measuring sleeve 16 directly dripping on the float 7, causing the float 7 to shake significantly.

[0023] When the present invention is in use, the floating ball 7 is driven to rise by the rising water level, so that the measuring ruler 5 can drive the counterweight block 6 to move upward, and the first guide wheel 3 and the second guide wheel 4 will also rotate synchronously. At this time, the data on the measuring ruler 5 can be read on the spot through the observation port 9, and the remote water level data can be read according to the number of rotations of the rotating shaft received by the photoelectric encoding sensor; there is no need to open the manhole cover 1, which saves time and effort and has strong safety; when on the spot, if it is inconvenient to read from the observation port 9 due to heavy rain, the sealing disk 21 can be released, and when the limit block 17 is located in the avoidance groove 20, the measuring sleeve 16 can be directly rotated to make the limit block 17 located in the limit cavity 19, and as the water level rises, the measuring sleeve 16 will be synchronously raised from the lower part of the manhole cover 1 above the ground, which is convenient for more intuitive data reading; in addition, when the through hole on the manhole cover 1 is too large to drain water in time, the overflow hole 22 on the measuring sleeve 16 can be used to assist in the discharge of rainwater, thereby enhancing the practicality of the present invention.
