[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water level monitoring, and particularly to a water level monitoring device for farmland water conservancy. Background Technique

[0002] In order to ensure better growth of rice in farmland, it is necessary to monitor the water level of the farmland to ensure appropriate water volume. Currently, usually people roughly estimate the water level by visual observation or using a ruler, and the water level measurement is inaccurate, making it difficult to provide reasonable water volume for farmland crops. In view of the above problems, the Chinese patent with application number 201810441962.9 discloses a farmland water use farmland water level monitoring device, including a bottom plate, support rods, a cross bar, a fixing mechanism, and a monitoring mechanism; support rods are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the top of the bottom plate, fixing mechanisms are provided on the left and right support rods, a cross bar is installed between the upper inner sides of the left and right support rods, and a monitoring mechanism is provided in the middle of the front side of the cross bar. Although this patent improves the accuracy of farmland water level monitoring to a certain extent, there are still many defects:

[0003] First, the technical solution of this patent has a complex structure and high maintenance difficulty. This technical solution includes multiple components (such as guide sleeves, movable rods, springs, bearing seats, slide rails, etc.), and the structure is relatively complex, increasing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

[0004] Secondly, the reliability of the fixing mechanism is poor. In this technical solution, the fixing mechanism relies on the cooperation of insertion blocks and springs, and may not be stable enough in the case of large water level fluctuations or soft soil, resulting in the device tilting or shifting.

[0005] In addition, it is not easy to observe. This technical solution uses the position of the pointer on the scale to indicate the water level value, and it is difficult to observe the value of the needle position on the scale from a long distance during actual use.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new water level monitoring device for farmland water conservancy to provide an effective solution to the defects of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

Specific implementation mode

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 , a water level monitoring device for farmland water conservancy, including a fixing mechanism 1 and a water level monitoring mechanism 13. The fixing mechanism 1 includes three or more support rods 2 distributed in a circular array. The top of the support rod 2 is provided with a cross bar 5 extending horizontally inward. The cross bars 5 at the ends of all the support rods 2 are fixedly connected to the mounting sleeve 6. The circumferential outer wall of the mounting sleeve 6 is provided with a threaded sleeve 7, and a locking screw 8 is threadedly connected in the threaded sleeve 7. The water level monitoring mechanism 13 includes an outer rod sleeve 14 and an inner floating rod 18. The outer rod sleeve 14 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 6 and fixed by the locking screw 8. The upper end of the outer rod sleeve 14 is a long circular tube structure, and the upper end of the outer rod sleeve 14 is higher than the farm crops. The inner floating rod 18 is slidably installed in the outer rod sleeve 14. A strip-shaped water permeable groove 15 is opened at the lower part of the outer rod sleeve 14. The bottom of the outer rod sleeve 14 is provided with a contact base 16. The inside of the inner floating rod 18 is a sealed cavity 11. The upper end of the inner floating rod 18 extends out from the upper port of the outer rod sleeve 14. The circumferential outer wall of the inner floating rod 18 is provided with a water level scale line 20.

[0034] The inner floating rod 18 is slidably installed in the outer rod sleeve 14 through a pair of linear bearings 17.

[0035] The bottom of the sealed cavity 11 is filled with a counterweight 21.

[0036] The fixing mechanism 1 and the water level monitoring mechanism 13 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0038] When the water level in the farmland changes, water enters the interior of the outer rod sleeve 14 through the water permeable groove 15 at the lower part of the outer rod sleeve 14. Since the interior of the inner floating rod 18 is a sealed cavity 11 and is filled with a counterweight 21 at the bottom, the inner floating rod 18 will float up and down with the change of the water level. The upper end of the inner floating rod 18 extends out from the upper port of the outer rod sleeve 14, and a water level scale line 20 is provided on the circumferential outer wall thereof. By observing the water level scale line 20 at the upper end of the inner floating rod 18, the current water level value can be directly read. The fixing mechanism 1 firmly fixes the device in the farmland through more than three support rods 2 and cross bars 5 distributed in an annular array. The mounting sleeve 6 fixes the outer rod sleeve 14 through a threaded sleeve 7 and a locking screw 8 to ensure the stability and reliability of the device in the farmland. The inner floating rod 18 is slidably mounted in the outer rod sleeve 14 through a pair of linear bearings 17 to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the inner floating rod 18 when floating up and down. The fixing mechanism 1 and the water level monitoring mechanism 13 are made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy materials, having good corrosion resistance and durability, and are suitable for long-term use in the farmland environment. The upper end of the outer rod sleeve 14 is higher than the farmland crops. In this embodiment, it can be installed at any position in the farmland and does not affect the water level observation during the entire growth stage of the crops.

[0039] The structure of this embodiment is more concise, mainly composed of a fixing mechanism 1 and a water level monitoring mechanism 13, reducing the number and complexity of components and lowering the difficulty of installation and maintenance. In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 1 adopts more than three support rods 2 and cross bars 5 distributed in an annular array and is fixed through a mounting sleeve 6 and a locking screw 8, ensuring the stability of this embodiment under the condition of large water level fluctuations or soft soil, and avoiding the problems of tilting or displacement of this embodiment.

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of adjacent water level layer segmented color display areas 19 are provided on the circumferential outer wall of the inner floating rod 18, and each area has a different color and an equal length. When the inner floating rod 18 floats up and down with the change of the water level, the color display areas 19 of different colors will be successively exposed from the upper port of the outer rod sleeve 14. By observing the color of the color display area 19 exposed from the upper port of the outer rod sleeve 14, the segmented range to which the current water level belongs can be quickly judged. Different colors correspond to different water level intervals, facilitating the intuitive identification of the water level state from a distance. The color display area 19 is used in cooperation with the water level scale line 20, further improving the intuitiveness and convenience of water level monitoring.

[0042] Embodiment 3: Please refer to Figure 4, A water level monitoring device for farmland water conservancy, which is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that a mounting table 9 extending horizontally outwards is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the mounting sleeve 6, and a spirit level 10 is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting table 9.

[0043] In this embodiment, the spirit level 10 on the mounting table 9 is used to detect the horizontal state of the device. By observing the spirit level 10, the support rod 2 can be adjusted to ensure that the device is installed horizontally, thereby improving the water level monitoring accuracy.

[0044] Embodiment 4: Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , A water level monitoring device for farmland water conservancy, which is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that a pointed head 3 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 2, and a resistance increasing structure 4 is provided above the pointed head 3.
