After the first filter plate 210 filters the sediment, the second flow sensor 140 monitors the water flow rate;

[0048] Finally, the cleaning assembly 220 sends the sediment filtered on the first filter plate 210 into the filter cylinder 270, and the centrifugal weighing assembly 280 centrifugally weighs the sediment to measure the sediment content;

[0049] The cleaning assembly 220 includes a magnetic scraping plate 221 slidably arranged at the left end of the first filter plate 210.

The jet component 224 includes a high-pressure spray gun 2241 arranged on the magnet 223. The high-pressure spray gun 2241 is used to spray air flow into the filter holes of the first filter plate 210 to assist in cleaning the sediment;

[0051] The jet component 224 further includes a piston 2242 and a fixed plug 2243 arranged in the high-pressure spray gun 2241. Check valves 2244 are arranged on both the piston 2242 and the fixed plug 2243;

[0052] The high-pressure spray gun 2241 is provided with a first sealing groove 2245, a first sealing plate 2246 is slidably arranged in the first sealing groove 2245, and the first sealing plate 2246 is connected to the piston 2242 through a connecting piece 2247;

[0054] A plurality of first sealing plates 2246 are connected in sequence;

[0055] The reciprocating motion assembly 225 includes a second sealing groove 2251 opened in the housing 100, a second sealing plate 2252 is slidably arranged in the second sealing groove 2251, the second sealing plate 2252 is connected to the sliding seat 222, one of the first sealing plates 2246 is connected to the second sealing plate 2252, and a first turntable 2253 is rotatably arranged on the second sealing plate 2252, and a connecting plate 2254 is arranged on the second sealing plate 2252;

[0056] The reciprocating motion assembly 225 further includes a first connecting rod 2255, both ends of the first connecting rod 2255 are movably hinged to the first turntable 2253 and the connecting plate 2254 through hinge shafts respectively, a gear 2256 is arranged on the first turntable 2253, and a rack 2257 is arranged in the housing 100, and the gear 2256 meshes with the rack 2257;

[0057] A flow guiding plate 226 and a first air cylinder 227 are arranged in the housing 100, the flow guiding plate 226 is located between the water inlet 110 and the first filter plate 210, and the piston rod of the first air cylinder 227 is connected to the sliding seat 222;

[0058] A sluice gate 230 and a second air cylinder 240 are arranged in the housing 100, the piston rod of the second air cylinder 240 is connected to the sluice gate 230, a drain groove 250 is opened in the housing 100, the drain groove 250 is located below the sluice gate 230, the filter cartridge 270 is located in the drain groove 250, and a first solenoid valve 260 is arranged in the drain groove 250.

[0059] In this embodiment: The housing 100 is placed in the water body, and the height can be adjusted through a bracket installed on the shore or through a bracket inserted into the bottom of the water. Water flows into the housing 100 from the water inlet 110. First, the first flow sensor 130 detects the flow rate of the mixture of sediment and water, then the sediment is filtered off through the filter holes on the first filter plate 210, and then the second flow sensor 140 detects the flow rate of the water, and the sediment flow rate can be obtained through calculation. The first flow sensor 130 and the second flow sensor 140 can adopt various flow detection devices such as ultrasonic flow sensors. As a conventional technical means, the working principle thereof will not be elaborated.

[0060] Finally, water flows out from the water outlet 120, and the filtered sediment is swept off the first filter plate 210 by the cleaning assembly 220. At this time, the second cylinder 240 drives the gate plate 230 to move leftward, opening the channel between the first filter plate 210 and the drainage trough 250, and the sediment is removed into the filter cylinder 270. The filter cylinder 270 undergoes centrifugal dehydration through the centrifugal weighing assembly 280 and then is weighed. The sediment content can be calculated based on the weight of the sediment, the water passing time, and the flow rates measured by the first flow sensor 130 and the second flow sensor 140.

[0061] The water thrown out by the filter cylinder 270 converges to the first solenoid valve 260 through the drainage trough 250 inclined towards the first solenoid valve 260 and is discharged into the water body by the first solenoid valve 260. The first solenoid valve 260 can also be a water pump.

[0062] Specifically, when cleaning the first filter plate 210, the sediment converges at the left end of the first filter plate 210, but some sediment blocks the filter holes. The first cylinder 227 drives the slide seat 222 to descend. At this time, the magnet 223 descends together with the slide seat 222. Since the slide seat 222 has a magnetic attraction force on the magnetic scraping plate 221, the magnetic scraping plate 221 will also be driven to descend.

[0063] On the left side, the magnetic scraping plate 221 scrapes the sediment at the left end of the first filter plate 210 downward, while on the right side, from Figure 7 As can be seen, a chute is provided at the lower end of the slide seat 222, and the diversion plate 226 is slidably installed in the chute of the slide seat 222.

[0064] During the descent of the second sealing plate 2252, since the gear 2256 meshes with the rack 2257, the gear 2256 and the first turntable 2253 rotate, and through the transmission of the first connecting rod 2255, the connecting plate 2254, the second sealing groove 2251, and several first sealing plates 2246 move left and right reciprocally.

[0065] The upper end of the high-pressure spray gun 2241 extends out of the water surface, and the one-way valve 2244 is used to restrict the one-way flow of air from right to left.

[0066] When several pistons 2242 are driven to move reciprocally by several first sealing plates 2246, when the piston 2242 and the one-way valve 2244 on the right side move to the right, the one-way valve 2244 on the right side opens, while the one-way valve 2244 on the fixed plug 2243 at the fixed position on the left side closes, creating a negative pressure environment between the piston 2242 and the fixed plug 2243, and sucking the air on the water surface into the space between the piston 2242 and the fixed plug 2243 under the pressure difference.

[0067] When the piston 2242 and the one-way valve 2244 on the right move to the left, the one-way valve 2244 on the right closes, and the one-way valve 2244 on the left opens. The gas between the piston 2242 and the fixed plug 2243 is pushed by the piston 2242 through the one-way valve 2244 on the left and enters the left side of the fixed plug 2243. Then the gas enters the high-pressure spray gun 2241 from the left side of the fixed plug 2243. The high-pressure spray gun 2241 is equipped with a high-pressure nozzle, which can increase the pressure of the gas and spray it towards the first filter plate 210.

[0068] Meanwhile, the sediment blocked on the first filter plate 210 will be ejected to the left by the airflow, land on the inner wall of the magnetic scraping plate 221, and then fall off.

[0069] In addition, the guiding plate 226 is used to block the water flow and reduce the impact of the water flow on the upper side of the first filter plate 210. The first sealing plate 2246 can slide left and right in the first sealing groove 2245 to maintain good sealing, and the second sealing plate 2252 can slide up and down and left and right in the second sealing groove 2251 to maintain good sealing.

[0070] Embodiment 2 is an improved description based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 2-9 , the centrifugal weighing assembly 280 includes a turntable 281 rotatably arranged in the drainage tank 250. A bottom plate 282 is arranged on the turntable 281, and a weight sensor 283 is arranged on the bottom plate 282;

[0071] A first connecting seat 284 and a third cylinder 285 are arranged in the drainage tank 250. The piston rod of the third cylinder 285 is connected to the first connecting seat 284, and a second connecting seat 286 is arranged on the bottom plate 282;

[0072] The centrifugal weighing assembly 280 further includes a second connecting rod 287. The two ends of the second connecting rod 287 are respectively movably hinged to the first connecting seat 284 and the second connecting seat 286 through hinge shafts;

[0073] A motor 288 is also arranged in the drainage tank 250. The output shaft of the motor 288 is connected to the filter cylinder 270 through a belt transmission device 289.

[0074] In this embodiment: The filter cylinder 270 is rotatably installed on the top wall of the drainage tank 250. The bottom plate 282 and the weight sensor 283 seal the bottom end of the filter cylinder 270 with the support of the third cylinder 285, and the sediment falling on the weight sensor 283 can be weighed. By operating the motor 288, the belt transmission device 289 drives the filter cylinder 270 to rotate, and the water in the sediment can be thrown out. The belt transmission device 289 is composed of two belt pulleys and a belt.

[0075] After weighing is completed, the third cylinder 285 drives the first connecting seat 284 to slide down along the inner wall of the drain trough 250. At this time, through the transmission of the first connecting seat 284, the second connecting rod 287 and the second connecting seat 286, the bottom plate 282 and the weight sensor 283 rotate clockwise based on the turntable 281, opening the lower end of the filter cartridge 270 to allow the sediment to fall, and the sediment is also discharged by controlling the opening and closing of the first solenoid valve 260.

[0076] Embodiment 3 is an improved description based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 2-5 , two first filtering mechanisms 200 are provided. The diameter of the filter holes of the first filter plate 210 on the left is larger than the diameter of the filter holes of the first filter plate 210 on the right.

[0077] A third flow sensor 150 is provided in the housing 100. The second flow sensor 140 is located between the two first filter plates 210, and the third flow sensor 150 is located on the right side of the first filter plate 210 close to the right side.

[0078] A second solenoid valve 160, a drain pipe 170 and a water pump 180 are provided on the housing 100. The second solenoid valve 160 is located at the right end of the housing 100. One end of the drain pipe 170 is connected to the water pump 180, and the other end of the drain pipe 170 is connected to the water outlet 120.

[0079] In this embodiment: Further, two first filtering mechanisms 200 are provided in total on the left and right. The filter holes of the first filter plate 210 on the left can allow some sediment with smaller particle sizes to pass through. When reaching the right side, all the sediment is intercepted by the filter holes of the first filter plate 210 on the right. By adding a third flow sensor 150, the flow rate of small-particle-size sediment and the flow rate of large-particle-size sediment can be obtained.

[0080] The second solenoid valve 160, in cooperation with the drain pipe 170 and the water pump 180 for pumping water, can be used to drain all the water in the housing 100.

[0081] Embodiment 4 is an improved description based on Embodiment 1. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1-10 , a second filtering mechanism 300 is further provided on the housing 100. The second filtering mechanism 300 includes a second filter plate 310 provided at the left end of the housing 100. A third filter plate 320 is slidably provided on the second filter plate 310. Both the second filter plate 310 and the third filter plate 320 are arc-shaped.

[0082] A second turntable 330 is rotatably provided on the housing 100. An impeller 340 is provided on the second turntable 330. The second filtering mechanism 300 further includes a third connecting rod 350. The two ends of the third connecting rod 350 are respectively movably hinged to the third filter plate 320 and the second turntable 330 through hinge shafts.

[0083] In this embodiment: Considering that there may be relatively large objects in the water body, such as stones or other objects, which have nothing to do with the sediment content but will affect the measurement results and damage the device.

[0084] Therefore, the second filter plate 310 and the third filter plate 320 installed at the water inlet 110 are used to block relatively large objects. The filter holes of the two are in one-to-one correspondence. However, under the action of the water flow impacting the impeller 340, the impeller 340 drives the second turntable 330 to rotate without restricting the rotation direction. As long as the second turntable 330 rotates, through the transmission of the third connecting rod 350, the third filter plate 320 can be driven to slide in an arc on the second filter plate 310. By continuously misaligning the filter holes of the second filter plate 310 and the third filter plate 320, the second filter plate 310 can be prevented from being blocked by large-particle objects.

[0085] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
