[0039] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the present invention is a water level observation device, comprising a lower seat body 1, an upper seat body 2 and a connecting column 3, wherein the lower seat body 1, the upper seat body 2 and the connecting column 3 are all vertically distributed, and the lower seat body 1 is located at the lower side of the upper seat body 2;

[0042] A connecting flange is provided at the bottom end of the lower seat body 1, and the lower seat body 1 is fixed to a cement base by bolts. The cement base is a truncated cone structure, and a plurality of bolts are provided on its surface, and the cement base is cast in the river channel;

[0043] The lower seat body 1 and the upper seat body 2 are connected by a connecting column 3, a stand 8 is installed on the top of the connecting column 3, an observation device is installed on the stand 8, a sliding seat 4 is installed on the connecting column 3, the sliding seat 4 is located between the lower seat body 1 and the upper seat body 2, the sliding seat 4 slides up and down along the connecting column 3, a mounting frame 5 is sleeved on the sliding seat 4, blades 6 are installed at both ends of the mounting frame 5, the mounting frame 5 is installed on the sliding seat 4, a column structure is provided at both ends of the mounting frame 5, the mounting frame 5 is a hollow structure, the interior of the mounting frame 5 is connected to the through hole 401, and the end surface of the column structure is installed with a blade 6;

[0044] The observation equipment includes a water level detector 12 and a camera to detect the water height in the river in real time. The water level detector 12 uses a radar water level sensor. The water level data collected by the radar water level sensor is transmitted to the monitoring center via 4G / 5G wireless communication technology. The monitoring center is equipped with powerful data analysis software and database system to process, store and analyze a large amount of water level data in real time.

[0045] The stand 8 is a hollow structure, the main body of the stand 8 is a box 801, an extension rod 802 is installed on one side of the box 801, and an observation device is installed on the extension rod 802. A driving wheel 15 and a generator 17 are installed inside the stand 8. The driving wheel 15 and the generator 17 are connected by a planetary gear set 14, and the blade 6 is connected by a transmission assembly 11 to the driving wheel 15.

[0046] After installation, the mounting frame 5 is located below the water surface. The water flowing in the river channel drives the blades 6 to rotate. The rotating blades 6 drive the generator to rotate through the transmission assembly 11, thereby realizing power generation. The inverter and battery installed in the stand 8 realize the storage of electric energy, solving the problem that it is inconvenient to set up wires for power supply in the outdoor environment. The use of water flow to generate electricity also reduces energy loss.

[0047] The planetary gear set 14 is driven to rotate by the driving wheel 15, and the gear on the outer side of the planetary gear set 14 drives the gear on the input end of the generator 17 to rotate. By installing multiple generators 17, the power generation is increased;

[0048] The mounting frame 5 is connected with a float 7. As the water level in the river changes, the float 7 drives the mounting frame 5 to move up and down, so that the mounting frame 5 is located in the upper layer of the river. Since the water flow rate in the upper layer of the river is greater than the water flow rate in the lower layer of the river, the utilization rate of the water flow can be effectively improved, thereby improving the power generation effect.

[0049] There are three connecting columns 3, and both ends of the connecting columns 3 are provided with step surfaces, and external threads are opened on the step surfaces. The lower seat body 1 includes a lower ring body 101, and the upper seat body 2 includes an upper ring body 201. One ends of the three connecting columns 3 pass through the end surface of the upper ring body 101 and the first connecting plate 102 to install a set of nuts, and the outer side of the first connecting plate 102 is installed with an upper sleeve 103. One ends of the three connecting columns 3 pass through the end surface of the lower ring body 201 and the second connecting plate 202 to install another set of nuts, and the outer side of the second connecting plate 202 is installed with a lower sleeve 203.

[0050] The installed connecting column 3 supports the lower seat body 1. By increasing the number of connecting columns 3 and the carrying capacity, and by adopting a detachable connection method between the lower seat body 1, the upper seat body 2 and the connecting column 3, the problem that large parts are more difficult to transport than small parts is solved.

[0051] The transmission assembly 11 includes a rotating shaft 1101, a first transmission rod 1102 and a second transmission rod 1103. The rotating shaft 1101 is installed in the column structure, the first transmission rod 1102 is installed inside the mounting frame 5, the second transmission rod 1103 is installed vertically, the bottom end of the second transmission rod 1103 is located inside the mounting frame 5, and the top end of the second transmission rod 1103 is located inside the stand 8. The rotating shaft 1101 and the first transmission rod 1102 are connected by a set of bevel gears, and the first transmission rod 1102 and the second transmission rod 1103 are connected by a set of bevel gears.

[0052] There are two rotating shafts 1101 and two first transmission rods 1102. The rotating shafts 1101 and the first transmission rods 1102 are arranged on both sides of the second transmission rod 1103. The rotating shafts 1101 and the first transmission rods 1102 are horizontally distributed, and the rotating shafts 1101 and the first transmission rods 1102 are perpendicular to each other. The blades 6 drive the rotating shafts 1101 to rotate, and the power is transmitted through the installed bevel gear set.

[0053] The second ratchet 1104 is sleeved on the top of the second transmission rod 1103. The main body of the driving wheel 15 is a ring tooth 1501. A step hole is provided at the bottom of the ring tooth 1501. The second ratchet 1104 is located in the step hole. A second pawl 1105 cooperating with the second ratchet 1104 is installed in the step hole.

[0054] The second transmission rod 1103 is a prismatic structure, and the second ratchet 1104 slides up and down along the second transmission rod 1103. An annular seat is installed in the bottom opening of the ring gear 1501 to prevent the second ratchet 1104 from sliding out of the step hole;

[0055] During operation, the second transmission rod 1103 drives the second ratchet 1104 to rotate synchronously, the second ratchet 1104 promotes the overall rotation of the driving wheel 15 through the second pawl 1105, and the ring gear 1501 in the driving wheel 15 drives the planetary gear set 14 to rotate.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] like Figure 5-9 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is as follows:

[0058] A sleeve rod 9 is installed in the middle of the box body 801, and the top end of the sleeve rod 9 extends out of the box body 801. A wind cup 10 is installed on the extended end of the sleeve rod 9. A first ratchet 1502 is provided at the upper end of the ring tooth 1501. The bottom end of the sleeve rod 9 is sleeved on the first ratchet 1502. A first pawl 901 is installed in the bottom end of the sleeve rod 9, and the first pawl 901 is installed in cooperation with the first ratchet 1502.

[0059] A convex ring 1503 is provided at the bottom end of the ring gear 1501 , and a disc 16 is sleeved on the convex ring 1503 . The planetary gear set 14 and the generator 17 are mounted on the upper surface of the disc 16 .

[0060] Since the wind cup 10 is installed, the wind drives the wind cup 10 and the sleeve rod 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the sleeve rod 9, the sleeve rod 9 drives the first ratchet 1502 to rotate through the first ratchet 901, and the rotating first ratchet 1502 drives the planetary gear set 14 to rotate;

[0061] The installation direction of the first pawl 901 is opposite to that of the second pawl 1105. If the rotation speed of the sleeve rod 9 is higher than that of the second transmission rod 1103, the sleeve rod 9 drives the driving wheel 15 to rotate.

[0062] If the rotation speed of the sleeve rod 9 is lower than the rotation speed of the second transmission rod 1103 , the second transmission rod 1103 drives the driving wheel 15 to rotate.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] like Figure 5-10 As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is as follows:

[0065] A corner frame 18 is installed on the outer side of the box body 801, and a photovoltaic panel 19 is installed on the corner frame 18;

[0066] In addition, the photovoltaic panel 19 is installed on the sunny side to supplement the power generation through the photovoltaic panel 19, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient power supply in windless conditions after the river dries up, and effectively ensures the normal operation of the observation device.

[0067] Example 4

[0068] A method for using a water level observation device comprises the following steps:

[0069] Step 1: Use the water level detector 12 to collect water level data in real time;

[0070] Step 2: Transmit the collected water level data to the monitoring center via 4G / 5G wireless communication technology;

[0071] Step three: The monitoring center compares the detected data with the upper and lower limit thresholds of the set water level alarm. If the detected data is not within the range of the upper and lower limit thresholds, an alarm is issued.

[0072] The upper and lower thresholds of the water level alarm are set as follows:

[0073] The maximum distance between the mounting frame 5 and the water level detector 12 is M, and the minimum distance between the mounting frame 5 and the water level detector 12 is N. The upper threshold of the water level alarm is N, and the lower threshold of the water level alarm is M.

[0074] When the water level data exceeds the preset alarm threshold, the alarm mechanism is triggered. The alarm signal can be sent in a variety of ways, including sound and light alarm, SMS notification, email notification, APP push, etc. The alarm information should include key information such as water level data, alarm time, alarm type (high water level alarm / low water level alarm), etc.
