Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of portable anti-loss real-time water level monitoring instruments, specifically a portable anti-loss real-time water level monitoring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] An all-weather lake and reservoir water level monitoring instrument is a device used for continuous monitoring of water levels and temperatures in lakes and reservoirs. It is a comprehensive piece of equipment urgently needed in current lake monitoring work. It integrates real-time monitoring and anti-loss positioning functions, utilizes solar power, and can operate stably around the clock. It can provide accurate water level data for water conservancy management, environmental monitoring, and scientific research, facilitating relevant personnel to understand the dynamics of water levels.
[0003] However, common reservoir water level monitoring instruments are difficult to stabilize when used in different underwater geological conditions. Due to the hard and uneven surface of rocky bottoms, ordinary fixing methods are insufficient for a tight fit. Under the impact of water flow, the monitoring instrument is prone to shaking or displacement, resulting in large deviations in measurement data. This makes it impossible to accurately reflect water level changes, affecting water conservancy research, flood prevention and early warning, and other work.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a portable, loss-proof real-time water level monitoring device that is highly practical and versatile. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable, loss-proof, real-time water level monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a portable anti-loss real-time water level monitoring instrument, including a connecting plate, a plurality of connecting frames are provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate, a rotating column is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting frame, a fixing claw connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the rotating column, a plurality of fixing claw inner barbs are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing claw connecting plate, and a fixing claw magnetic head is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing claw connecting plate relative to the rotating column.
[0007] According to the above technical solution, by setting a dual-purpose fixing claw structure, the fixing claw connecting plate can be rotated by rotating the column during use, while the barbs on the inner side of the fixing claw can be used to fix the structure to the rocky bottom. The magnetic suction head of the fixing claw is composed of magnets on both sides, which can ensure the combination of different fixing claw magnetic suction heads, so that they can be used as a cone. In terms of fixing stability, when facing the rocky bottom, the barbs on the inner side of the fixing claw play a role, tightly hooking into the rock gaps, enhancing the fixing effect, ensuring that the monitoring instrument can remain stable in complex underwater environments, and will not be displaced by the impact of water flow, thus ensuring the accuracy of measurement data and the safety of the equipment. From an adaptability perspective, in sandy soil layers, the fixing claws can be combined into a cone shape and directly inserted into the riverbed. This design allows the monitoring instrument to be used in waters with different geological conditions, greatly expanding its applicable range. Whether it is soft sand or hard rocky bottom, it can be stably installed to meet diverse monitoring needs.
[0008] The water gauge body is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate relative to the connecting frame.
[0009] According to the above technical solution, the water gauge body serves as the basic component for water level measurement. It displays the water level intuitively through the scale, providing a reference for the level gauge measurement and facilitating on-site personnel to quickly understand the approximate water level.
[0010] The outer surface of the water gauge body is provided with multiple drainage holes. A connecting rod is provided at one end of each drainage hole. Threaded connectors are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod. A threaded connecting frame is provided on the side of the threaded connector opposite to the connecting rod. A foot pedal is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded connecting frame opposite to the threaded connector.
[0011] According to the above technical solution, by incorporating a detachable foot pedal structure, the drain hole can release pressure when the water gauge body is inserted into the water. Its through-hole structure allows a connecting rod to pass through, and the foot pedal is fixed in place by threaded connections at both ends of the connecting rod to threaded connectors. During installation, when the monitor is applied to soft water bottoms such as sandy soil layers, the detachable foot pedal significantly improves installation efficiency. By installing the foot pedal on the equipment, the operator can apply their body weight to the monitor, making it easier to insert the equipment into sandy soil layers. This effectively solves the problem of difficulty in fixing the device in soft soil and avoids instability that could affect measurement accuracy.
[0012] A fixing block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the water gauge body.
[0013] According to the above technical solution, the fixing block connects the water gauge body and the camera base, which ensures the stability and integrity of the overall structure and is an important component of the whole structure.
[0014] One end of the fixing block is fixedly connected to a camera base, and a camera is installed on the upper end of the camera base.
[0015] According to the above technical solution, the camera base supports and fixes the camera, and the camera's installation angle can be adjusted to enable the camera to clearly capture water surface conditions, such as water level changes and floating objects, according to actual monitoring needs. The camera captures dynamic images of the water surface in real time, helping staff to remotely observe the water surface conditions in the monitoring area and promptly detect abnormalities, such as sudden changes in water level or water pollution.
[0016] A solar panel base is provided at one end of the fixing block relative to the water gauge body, and a solar panel is provided at one end of the solar panel base relative to the fixing block.
[0017] According to the above technical solution, the solar panel base supports the solar panel, and the tilt angle of the solar panel is adjusted to better receive sunlight, improve solar energy conversion efficiency, and continuously power the monitoring instrument. The solar panel converts solar energy into electrical energy, providing power support for various components of the monitoring instrument and enabling the sustainable operation of the equipment.
[0018] A waterproof box is provided at one end of the fixing block relative to the camera base.
[0019] According to the above technical solution, the waterproof box protects the internal electronic components, such as level gauges and positioning modules, from water corrosion, ensuring that the equipment works normally in a humid environment and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0020] The upper surface of the waterproof box is provided with a horizontal bubble, and the inner wall surface of the waterproof box is provided with a level gauge.
[0021] According to the above technical solution, a horizontal bubble assists in calibrating the verticality of the level gauge and the main body of the water gauge, ensuring the accuracy of water level measurement and reducing measurement errors caused by equipment tilt. The level gauge accurately measures the water level height and converts water level changes into electrical or digital signals, providing precise data support for water level monitoring.
[0022] The inner wall surface of the waterproof box is equipped with a power supply box, and a positioning module is provided on the side of the inner wall surface of the waterproof box adjacent to the power supply box.
[0023] According to the above technical solution, the power supply box stores and manages electrical energy, storing the electricity generated by the solar panels to provide stable power to all components of the monitoring instrument and ensure continuous operation. The positioning module obtains the geographical location information of the monitoring instrument in real time. If the equipment is lost or moves abnormally, it can be located and retrieved through positioning, while also allowing staff to easily track the equipment's location.

The toolbox is rotatably connected to a toolbox plate via a pivot. A fixing groove is provided on one side of the toolbox plate. A sliding lock is provided at one end of the toolbox.
[0025] According to the above technical solution, by setting up a detachable toolbox structure, the toolbox can be connected to the waterproof box via magnetic blocks during use; and by pulling out the sliding lock block, it can be fixed inside the fixing groove, thereby securing the toolbox panel. When the monitor malfunctions or requires routine maintenance, maintenance personnel can quickly obtain various tools, such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and spare parts, from inside the toolbox without having to search for them separately, saving time and enabling timely maintenance and repair of the equipment, ensuring the continuity of monitoring work.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: 1. This invention features a dual-purpose fixing claw structure. During use, the fixing claw connecting plate can be rotated via a rotating column, while the inner barbs of the fixing claw can be used to secure the structure to a rocky substrate. The magnetic suction heads of the fixing claws are composed of magnets on both sides, ensuring that different structures of the fixing claw magnetic suction heads can be combined to form a cone shape for use. Regarding stability, when facing a rocky substrate, the inner barbs of the fixing claws function effectively, tightly hooking into the rock gaps, enhancing the fixing effect, and ensuring that the monitoring instrument remains stable even in complex underwater environments, preventing displacement due to water flow impact, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of measurement data and the safety of the equipment. From an adaptability perspective, in sandy layers, the fixing claws can be combined into a cone shape and directly inserted into the riverbed. This design allows the monitoring instrument to be used in waters with different geological conditions, greatly expanding its applicability. Whether in soft sand or hard rocky bottoms, it can be stably installed, meeting diverse monitoring needs.
[0027] 2. This invention, through the inclusion of a detachable foot pedal structure, allows for pressure relief from the water level gauge body when it is inserted into the water. The through-hole structure allows a connecting rod to pass through, and the foot pedal is secured in use via threaded connections at both ends of the connecting rod to threaded connectors.
