Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of environmental science and technology, and in particular to a portable stratified water temperature measurement system, its method of use, and its equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Water temperature, as a key physicochemical parameter of water bodies, directly affects the material cycle and energy flow processes of aquatic ecosystems due to its vertical distribution characteristics. Accurate acquisition of water temperature data at different depths is of significant scientific value for studying the migration and diffusion patterns of pollutants, assessing ecological risks, and formulating water environment governance strategies.

[0003] Currently, most traditional water temperature measurement equipment is a single-point instrument, capable of acquiring water temperature information only at a single depth. This makes it difficult to fully represent the temperature stratification characteristics of water bodies, failing to meet the needs of research in complex aquatic environments. While some existing technologies can achieve stratified water temperature measurement, such as electronic water gauges developed by some companies, these devices lack portability for measuring stratified water temperatures at depths of tens of meters or more. Furthermore, while their through-hole design avoids wave interference, the temperature probe directly contacts the water through these holes, which can become clogged by algae growth or impurities, hindering sufficient contact and leading to inaccurate data. In addition, systems like the YF-312 water temperature stratification monitoring system and the HR8003 pressure-type water level thermometer can also achieve stratified water temperature measurement, but these devices are generally bulky, have cumbersome operation procedures, and rely on boats or fixed monitoring platforms for deployment, resulting in poor portability and limiting their application in rapid field monitoring scenarios or small-scale water body measurement operations. Overall, current stratified water temperature measurement devices suffer from insufficient portability and poor resistance to disturbances. Taking the concessiono³Tx temperature chain recorder as an example, in the field of portable stratified water temperature measurement instruments, the device achieves portability through cables carrying multiple temperature sensors. However, the cable-based structure has significant drawbacks: firstly, the cables lack sufficient mechanical strength and are easily damaged by external forces; when a single node of the cable fails, the entire cable must be replaced, significantly increasing maintenance costs; secondly, the temperature sensors are in direct contact with the water, and under water flow disturbances, the heat exchange between the probe and the water is unstable, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability of the monitoring data. In summary, the existing water temperature stratification measurement process has the following drawbacks: it cannot simultaneously achieve portability and stability in water temperature stratification measurement, has poor anti-interference capabilities, and has high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a portable stratified water temperature measurement system, method of use, and device, which can improve the anti-interference ability of stratified water temperature measurement and improve portability while ensuring measurement accuracy and reliability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following solution: In a first aspect, this application provides a portable stratified water temperature measurement system, comprising: a foldable sensor module, a handle, a counterweight, a counterweight block, and a host computer; the handle is disposed at one end of the foldable sensor module for suspending the foldable sensor module; the counterweight is disposed at the other end of the foldable sensor module for suspending the counterweight block; the foldable sensor module is connected to the host computer; the foldable sensor module is used to acquire the stratified water temperature at a target location and transmit it to the host computer; the foldable sensor module includes multiple sensor modules; each sensor module includes: a sensor carrier and a sensor body; The sensor bodies are connected in parallel; each sensor body is embedded in the sensor carrier and encapsulated by an encapsulation structure to form a protruding structure. Each sensor carrier has a recessed hole adapted to the protruding structure. The sensor carriers are connected end to end to form a series, and adjacent sensor carriers are connected by a hinge mechanism. The sensor carrier is provided with a first buckle and a second buckle. In the unfolded state: the axes of adjacent sensor carriers coincide, and the first buckle fastens and fixes the adjacent sensor carriers. In the folded state: the axes of adjacent sensor carriers are parallel to each other, the second buckle fastens and fixes the adjacent sensor carriers, and the protruding structure is embedded in the recessed hole.

[0006] Secondly, this application provides a method for using a portable stratified water temperature measurement system. The method utilizes the aforementioned portable stratified water temperature measurement system and includes the following steps: When stratified water temperature measurement is required, unfold the foldable sensor module, connect the convex and concave data transmission holes between each sensor carrier, align the axes of adjacent sensor carriers, and secure adjacent sensor carriers with a first buckle, connecting the sensor carriers end-to-end to form a series assembly; hang a weight on a counterweight ring; place the foldable sensor module, the counterweight ring, and the weight into the water at the target location and secure the handle ring; measure the stratified water temperature at the target location using the foldable sensor module; receive the stratified water temperature at the target location via a host computer; when stratified water temperature measurement is not required, fold the foldable sensor module; align the axes of adjacent sensor carriers parallel to each other, secure adjacent sensor carriers with a second buckle, and embed the protruding structure into the concave hole.

[0007] Thirdly, this application provides a computer device, including: a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the above-described method of using the portable stratified water temperature measurement system.

[0008] According to the specific embodiments provided in this application, the following technical effects are disclosed: This application utilizes a hinge mechanism to connect multiple sensor modules end-to-end. Each module includes a sensor carrier and a sensor body embedded therein, with the sensors connected in parallel to improve reliability. The sensors are encapsulated to form a raised structure, with corresponding matching recesses on the carrier, and equipped with a double-clamping mechanism—when unfolded, the axes of adjacent carriers coincide, and the first clamp secures them to form a vertically measured, serial assembly for stratified water temperature acquisition; when folded, the carriers are stacked parallel to each other, the raised sections are embedded in the recesses, and the second clamp locks them in place for compact storage. This application achieves precise positioning of the measurement depth through suspension by a lifting ring and sinking by a counterweight, with data transmitted to a host computer in real time. Furthermore, the parallel layout and dedicated encapsulation effectively resist environmental interference, improving anti-interference capability, measurement accuracy, and reliability. At the same time, the folding design greatly enhances the portability and operational efficiency of the equipment, reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Optionally, the outermost sensor carrier 22 may only have a raised structure and no recessed holes; wherein, the outermost sensor carrier 22 is the sensor carrier 22 farthest from the water surface.

[0032] In practical applications, the convex encapsulation film is made of a composite material of PP substrate and copper plating. The internal space is adapted to a small (digital) temperature sensor. The interior is filled with deionized water to balance the deep water pressure, while isolating external water disturbance and algae adhesion. The temperature probe is in indirect contact with the external water body to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data.

[0033] 5) Each sensor carrier 22 is connected end to end to form a string-like whole, and two adjacent sensor carriers 22 are connected by a hinge mechanism; a first buckle and a second buckle are provided on the sensor carrier 22. In the unfolded state: the axes of two adjacent sensor carriers 22 coincide, and the first buckle fastens and fixes the two adjacent sensor carriers 22; in the folded state: the axes of two adjacent sensor carriers 22 are parallel to each other, the second buckle fastens and fixes the two adjacent sensor carriers 22, and the protruding structure is embedded in the concave hole.

[0034] Furthermore, the sensor carrier 22 is a cuboid.

[0043] Optionally, the first latch, the second latch, and the hinge mechanism are all made of polypropylene and are securely connected to the adjacent sensor carrier 22 through screw holes.

[0044] In practical applications, regarding circuit connections, the various temperature sensors are connected in parallel and uniformly connected to the communication bus, with the communication lines following... Protocol. The dimensions of sensor module 2 are designed with portability in mind, and its length, width, and height can be flexibly adjusted according to the depth of the measured layers. For example, if a single sensor module 2 is set to be 1m long, 5mm wide, and 1cm deep, and is used to measure the temperature of stratified water at a depth of 100m, the folded dimensions of the device would be approximately 1m long, 0.5m wide, and 1cm deep, with an overall weight of approximately 5kg, achieving a balance between lightweight and compact design. The technical effects of this application are as follows.

[0045] This application achieves portability, anti-interference, and reliability in stratified water temperature measurement. By adopting a lightweight integrated architecture and optimizing the packaging design of individual sensors, it improves the portability of the device, meets the needs of diverse monitoring scenarios, and reduces the later maintenance costs. Its unique packaging structure can effectively avoid the influence of water disturbance and isolate biological contamination, ensuring the accuracy and stability of measurement data.
