Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water level measurement device technology, specifically to a tailings dam water level measurement device and measurement method. Background Technology

[0002] As a key facility in mining production, the safety of tailings dams is directly related to the lives and property of downstream residents and the ecological environment. The water level is one of the core parameters affecting the stability of tailings dams. By regularly observing the scale lines on the water level gauge, the staff in the reservoir area can quickly grasp the dynamics of the water level, adjust the reservoir's storage and release strategies in a timely manner, ensure the safe operation of the reservoir, and effectively regulate the flow of downstream rivers to reduce the occurrence of floods.

[0003] In existing technology, such as the water level gauge for hydraulic engineering disclosed in CN222993800U, the measuring gauge has a fixed base at its bottom and scale markings on its side. A lifting sliding cavity is formed inside the measuring gauge, and a lifting float is installed inside the cavity. A maximum water level gauge is installed on the top of the float, with the top of the maximum water level gauge passing through the top of the measuring gauge. An L-shaped water inlet pipe is located on the left side of the fixed base, and its top connects to the bottom of the lifting sliding cavity. A one-way water inlet valve is installed on the L-shaped water inlet pipe. An electromagnetic drain valve is installed on the lower right side of the lifting sliding cavity, releasing water from the cavity and clearing the record of the previous highest water level. While the real-time water level is displayed externally via the scale markings, the highest water level during the measurement period can also be displayed by the lifting gauge driven by the internal float.

[0004] To address the issue that existing equipment cannot display the highest water level during measurement, the aforementioned document proposes a method that combines a lifting float with a lifting ruler to measure the highest water level. However, in actual use, the reservoir water enters the measuring scale through the inlet pipe. The water contains a large number of impurities, and sludge can easily enter and is difficult to clean. Long-term use can cause blockages in the measuring scale, making the float and the lifting scale inaccurate. In addition, traditional water level measurement is easily affected by the accumulation of dirt on the reservoir surface, making it difficult for staff to read the readings.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a tailings dam water level measuring device and method to solve the problems of existing water level measuring devices having a simple structure and being easily affected by the accumulation of dirt on the reservoir water surface, thus affecting the reading of the data and limiting its use. The device can monitor and display the highest water level during the measurement period, while also self-cleaning the dirt that accumulates on the measuring scale. It can also accommodate the disturbance of impurities in the water near the scale, ensuring accurate readings. Summary of the Invention

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-11This invention provides a technical solution: a tailings dam water level measuring device, including a water level measuring ruler 1. A mounting base 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the water level measuring ruler 1. A base plate 110 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 11. Mounting holes are evenly distributed on the base plate 110. The measuring device is fixed to the cement using bolts through the base plate 110 and erected in the tailings dam measuring area. A top plate 13 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the water level measuring ruler 1. A limiting rod 12 is fixedly connected between the mounting base 11 and the limiting rod 12. A measuring auxiliary ruler 2 is movably installed on the inner surface of the center of the water level measuring ruler 1. Horizontal push rods 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the ruler 2. A mounting ring 1 23 and a mounting ring 24 are provided on the inner side of the horizontal push rods 22. A float 3 is movably mounted on the inner side of the mounting rings 1 23 and 24. A connecting cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the float 3. The connecting cylinder 31 is composed of a cylindrical part 311 and a conical part 312. The upper end of the conical part 312 is connected to the lower end of the cylindrical part 311. An inner convex column 313 is fixedly connected to the center of the conical part 312. A pre-floating component is provided on the inner side of the connecting cylinder 31. The pre-floating component includes a floating element and an extension element. The floating element includes a float 3131 and a connecting element. The upper end of the rod 3132 and the float 3131 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 3132. The other end of the connecting rod 3132 is fixedly connected to a pusher plate 3133. The lower surface of the pusher plate 3133 movably abuts against a receiving ring plate 3141. The outer ring surface of the receiving ring plate 3141 is evenly provided with receiving grooves 31410. The lower end of the receiving ring plate 3141 is fixedly connected to a limiting post 314. The limiting post 314 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner convex column 313. The outer surface of the connecting rod 3132 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner convex column 313 and the inner wall of the limiting post 314. The extension includes a hinge seat 3142. The movable arm plate 3143 has a curved elastic bar 31431 fixedly connected to its inner side. The other end of the curved elastic bar 31431 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting post 314. The hinge seat 3142 is fixedly installed on the lower outer wall of the limiting post 314. One end of the movable arm plate 3143 is rotatably connected to the hinge seat 3142. A snap-fit ​​block 3144 is fixedly installed on the upper outer surface of the movable arm plate 3143. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​block 3144 is movably snapped into the inner surface of the receiving groove 31410. The outer surface of the snap-fit ​​block 3144 is movably abutted against the inner annular surface of the push sleeve plate 3133. In this embodiment, when the measuring device is erected in the tailings dam measurement area, the float 3 rises with the change of the water level in the dam. During the rising of the float 3, the measuring scale 2 rises synchronously through the connection of the horizontal top rod 22. The horizontal top rod 22 is equipped with markings that are consistent with the scale on the surface of the water level measuring scale 1. By observing the rising action of the float 3, the current water level in the dam can be monitored in real time, and the rising of the measuring scale 2 facilitates the display of the highest water level during the measurement period. It should be noted that in the initial state, referring to... Figures 2-3 As shown, the float 3 is positioned at one-third of the height of the water level measuring scale 1, serving as a water level reference. When the water level in the reservoir rises, the water surface first causes the float 3131 inside the inner convex column 313 to float upwards, thus triggering the extension component. When the float 3131 floats upwards, it drives the connecting rod 3132 and the pusher plate 3133 to move upwards simultaneously. At this time, the pusher plate 3133 separates from the receiving ring plate 3141, releasing the restriction on the multiple sets of locking blocks 3144. This allows the locking blocks 3144, which were originally restricted inside the receiving groove 31410, to unfold outwards. At the same time, the movable arm plate 3143 expands outwards, forming an umbrella-shaped structure. When the float 3 rotates, the pre-floating component rotates synchronously, brushing away dirt on the water surface near the water level measuring scale 1, preventing slag from accumulating on the surface of the water level measuring scale 1 for a long time, causing corrosion and inaccurate readings.

[0022] Example 2, see attached document Figure 1-11 Based on Example 1, in order to display the current water level while also monitoring the highest water level during the measurement period: The measuring scale 2 consists of a float plate section 21 and a connecting rod section. The connecting rod section includes a first lifting rod 211 and a second lifting rod 212. The top end of the first lifting rod 211 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the float plate section 21, and the end of the first lifting rod 211 away from the float plate section 21 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the second lifting rod 212. The second lifting rod 212 has an inverted "T" shaped cross-section. A locking assembly is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod section. The locking assembly includes a central rotating rod 213 and a support sleeve 216. A screwing block 214 is fixedly connected to the lower outer surface of the rotating rod 213. The screwing block 214 is rotatably installed inside the mounting base 11. A cam block 215 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the central rotating rod 213. A support sleeve 216 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the water level measuring gauge 1, and the lower surface of the support sleeve 216 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 11. Horizontal abutment rods 2161 are slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the support sleeve 216. One side of the horizontal abutment rod 2161... The outer surface of the horizontal contact rod 2161 is in movable contact with the outer surface of the cam block 215, and the other end of the horizontal contact rod 2161 is in movable contact with the inner side of the engagement plate 21621. Both ends of the horizontal contact rod 2161 are rounded. An anti-disengagement ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the horizontal contact rod 2161. A spring 21611 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the anti-disengagement ring on the side away from the cam block 215. The other end of the spring 21611 is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the support sleeve 216. 1. Sliding sleeve is installed outside the horizontal abutment rod 2161; the outer ring surface of the support sleeve 216 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 2162, the inner side of the fixed seat 2162 is rotatably connected to the biting plate 21621 through the pin, the inner side of the biting plate 21621 is fixedly connected to the connecting spring wire 21622, the other end of the connecting spring wire 21622 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the support sleeve 216, and the inner side of the upper end of the biting plate 21621 is movably abutting against the lower end of the lifting rod 212; In this embodiment, the measuring device is installed in front of the measuring area. Turning the screw block 214 causes the central rotating rod 213 and the cam block 215 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the cam part of the cam block 215 releases its contact with the rounded corner part of one end of the horizontal contact rod 2161. Then, both sets of horizontal contact rods 2161 move inward under the reverse elastic force of the spring 21611. The end of the horizontal contact rod 2161 away from the cam block 215 moves inward and does not contact the lower inner side of the biting plate 21621. According to the lever principle, the upper position of the biting plate 21621 does not engage with the bottom position of the lifting rod 212. This releases the restriction on the lifting rod 212, making it easier for the measuring scale 2 to rise and fall with the float 3 as the water level in the reservoir changes. Before the measuring device is installed or transported, the operator first presses the top of the float plate 21 to retract the measuring auxiliary scale 2 into the water level measuring scale 1, so that the bottom end of the lifting rod 212 abuts against the top end of the support sleeve 216. Then, the rotating block 214 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the cam part of the cam block 215 abuts against the horizontal contact rod 2161. At the same time, the upper part of the biting plate 21621 bites the bottom end of the lifting rod 212. In this way, the measuring auxiliary scale 2 can be retracted as a whole, which is convenient for storage and realizes the combination of the two scales.

[0023] Example 3, refer to Appendix Figure 1-11 Based on Example 2, in order to achieve the protection of the pontoon 3 and the self-rotation of the pontoon 3 to facilitate the reading of the reservoir water level: Mounting ring 1 (23) and mounting ring 2 (24) are slidably mounted on the outside of the water level measuring gauge 1. A limiting support 231 and a float limiting sleeve 232 are fixedly connected to the inner annular surface of mounting ring 1 (23). The inner surface of the float limiting sleeve 232 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the float 3. The limiting support 231 consists of an annular plate and a diverging plate. A cleaning scraper ring 2311 is fitted onto the inner annular surface of the annular plate, and the inner annular surface of the cleaning scraper ring 2311 is movably connected to the outer surface of the water level measuring gauge 1. Through the cleaning scraper ring 2311, the exterior of the water level measuring gauge 1 can be automatically cleaned. For accurate readings; a protective plate 241 is fixedly connected to the inner ring surface of the mounting ring 24; a central shaft 2422 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the float 3; the outer surface of the central shaft 2422 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the protective plate 241; a toothed ring 242 is rotatably connected to the inner ring surface of the protective plate 241; a transmission gear plate 2421 is meshed and rotated on the inner tooth surface of the toothed ring 242; the central inner surface of the transmission gear plate 2421 is fixedly connected to the upper outer surface of the central shaft 2422; one set of transmission gear plates 2421 is the driving gear, and three sets of transmission gear plates 2421 are the driven gears; In this embodiment, the mounting ring 23 and the limiting support 231 are combined to form an annular plate structure, which can provide limiting support for the float 3 and can also form a protective enclosure for the float 3 and the water level measuring ruler 1 to prevent damage to the float 3 caused by water flow impact. The inner side of the mounting ring 24 is equipped with a protective plate 241 to accommodate the internal gear structure and provide a limiting function, ensuring that the float 3 and the connecting cylinder 31 can rotate to brush away dirt in the nearby water area. The centrifugal force during rotation can get rid of the floating objects attached to the outside, making it easier to read the water level in the reservoir area.

Foundation fixing: The measuring device is fixed to the cement using bolts through the base plate 110, so that the water level measuring ruler 1 is erected in the measurement area of ​​the tailings dam. S2. Installation and status adjustment of measuring scale 2: When the measuring device is not installed or being transported, press the top of the float plate 21 to retract the measuring scale 2 as a whole into the water level measuring scale 1, and engage the bottom end of the lifting rod 212 to realize the recovery of the measuring scale 2; before the measuring device is installed, release the measuring scale 2 as a whole to facilitate its raising and lowering with the float 3 when the water level in the reservoir changes. S3, installation of pontoon 3 and related components: Install pontoon connecting cylinder 31 at the bottom of pontoon 3, and installation ring 1 23 and installation ring 24 form a supporting, limiting and enclosing effect on pontoon 3; S4. Reservoir water level measurement: In the initial state, the float 3 is at one-third of the water level reference of the water level measuring ruler 1. As the water level in the reservoir gradually rises, the water surface first triggers the pre-floating component to form an umbrella-shaped structure. When the float 3 rotates, the pre-floating component rotates synchronously, realizing water level measurement while brushing away dirt on the water surface near the water level measuring ruler 1, which facilitates accurate reading.
