Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water level monitoring devices, in particular to a river water level intelligent monitoring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] A radar liquid level meter is a non-contact liquid level measuring instrument based on electromagnetic wave reflection principle. It transmits high-frequency electromagnetic waves (such as microwaves or frequency-modulated continuous waves) to the surface of the measured medium through an antenna and receives the reflected signals. The round-trip time difference of the waves is used to calculate the liquid level height. Its core advantage is that it is not affected by environmental factors such as medium temperature, pressure, viscosity, and dust, and is suitable for complex working conditions.

[0003] Radar liquid level meters are often used for water level detection in rivers and lakes. The existing Chinese patent with the patent number CN118392271A and the patent name "Water level monitoring equipment and method for plateau river" provides a monitoring device that includes a radar liquid level meter and an anti-interference component. The anti-interference component can reduce the influence of aerosols on the radar liquid level meter. However, the environment where the radar liquid level meter is installed above the river is generally harsh. The radar liquid level meter is not only affected by aerosols, but also often affected by strong winds.

[0004] When the wind is strong, the wind blowing on the horn-shaped shell of the radar liquid level meter will inevitably affect the horn-shaped shell, which may affect the measurement accuracy of the radar liquid level meter. Especially when the radar liquid level meter is in a strong wind environment for a long time, the influence of strong wind on the radar liquid level meter is greater. SUMMARY

[0012] Further, the end of the telescopic plate away from the support plate is provided with a mounting seat, and the mounting seat is provided with a cleaning assembly capable of cleaning the inner wall of the loudspeaker antenna.

[0014] Furthermore, the elastic component is disposed on the mounting base. The elastic component includes a fixed shaft, a fixed plate, and a spring. The fixed shaft is fixed on the mounting base, the fixed plate is fixed on the fixed shaft, the spring is sleeved on the fixed shaft and its two ends are respectively pressed against the fixed plate and the mounting base, and the scraper tube and the negative pressure suction tube are both mounted on the fixed shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, a calibration mechanism is provided between the support plate and the rotating cylinder.

[0018] Furthermore, the bracket is equipped with a photovoltaic panel and a control box. The photovoltaic panel is used to provide power to the radar level gauge, and the control box is used to control the operation of the radar level gauge.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0020] The present invention provides a smart river water level monitoring device. When the present invention is used to monitor the river water level, the signal transceiver of the radar level gauge can emit electromagnetic waves toward the river surface. The electromagnetic waves are reflected by the river surface and can be received by the horn antenna, thereby allowing the water level to be measured by the radar level gauge.

[0021] The rotating drum and telescopic plate mounted on the horn antenna can, when strong winds blow, cause the telescopic plate to rotate around the horn antenna. The rotation of the drum and telescopic plate can convert some of the energy of the wind blowing the horn antenna into the mechanical energy of the drum and telescopic plate rotating around the horn antenna. This can reduce the force directly transmitted to the horn antenna by the wind, thereby reducing the impact of strong winds on the radar level gauge and making the radar level gauge measure the liquid level more accurately.

[0022] Furthermore, in windy conditions, the telescopic plate can drive the rotating drum to rotate. The rotation of the drum can cause the scraper to disengage from the corner slot inside the horn antenna through the elastic component, and under the action of the elastic component, it abuts against the inner wall of the horn antenna. As the drum continues to rotate, the scraper can scrape the dust on the inner wall of the horn antenna. At the same time, the airflow speed in the constricted section of the negative pressure suction pipe at the bottom of the scraper is faster when the drum rotates, which can draw the scraper into a negative pressure state. When the scraper rotates inside the horn antenna under negative pressure, it can suck the dust scraped off or the dust and debris floating inside the horn antenna into the scraper, and finally discharge it from the end of the negative pressure suction pipe away from its rotation direction. This can reduce the impact of dust on radar reflection signals, reduce or avoid diffuse reflection of radar signals, and make the signal received by the horn antenna more stable, reducing the occurrence of inaccurate monitoring of river water levels.

[0023] Furthermore, when the present invention is in a windy environment, the drive gear ring can rotate synchronously with the rotating drum. The drive gear ring can drive the calibration plate to rotate through the transmission component. When the calibration plate rotates past the notch on the receiving plate, the radar level gauge can perform accuracy calibration. Moreover, as the wind continues to blow the telescopic plate, the accuracy of the radar level gauge can be continuously calibrated, ultimately making the measured river water level more accurate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on 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.

They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0035] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that they are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an intelligent river water level monitoring device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a support 100, a radar level gauge 200, a rotating drum 300, and a telescopic plate 400. The support 100 is set on the ground near the river channel and can be composed of a vertical pole 101 and a horizontal bar 102. The vertical pole 101 stands upright on the ground, and the horizontal bar 102 is fixed to the vertical pole 101, with its length direction perpendicular to the length direction of the vertical pole 101. The horizontal bar 102 is positioned on the vertical pole 101 away from the ground, with one end of the horizontal bar 102 extending into the river or lake. A reinforcing diagonal brace can be provided between the horizontal bar 102 and the vertical pole 101 to stabilize the horizontal bar 102, thereby improving the stability of the support 100.

[0037] A support plate 110 is provided on the bracket 100. The support plate 110 is fixed to the end of the crossbar 102 away from the upright 101 and is perpendicular to the length direction of the upright 101. The radar level gauge 200 is mounted on the support plate 110, and its signal transceiver terminal passes through the support plate 110 and faces the ground. A horn antenna 500 is mounted on the side of the support plate 110 away from the radar level gauge 200. The horn antenna 500 is positioned directly below the radar level gauge 200 and is coaxially aligned with the signal transceiver terminal of the radar level gauge 200. The horn antenna 500 is electrically connected to the radar level gauge 200.

[0038] The rotating cylinder 300 includes multiple conical plates 310. The two ends of the conical plates 310 abut each other to form the rotating cylinder 300. The rotating cylinder 300 is sleeved on the horn antenna 500 and rotatably connected to the horn antenna 500. A telescopic plate 400 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 300. The telescopic plate 400 includes an inner plate 420 and an outer plate 410. One end of the inner plate 420 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 300, and the other end of the inner plate 420 is inserted into the inner hole of the outer plate 410. A limiting shaft 411 is fixed to the side of the outer plate 410 away from the inner plate 420. The axial direction of the limiting shaft 411 is perpendicular to the surface of the support plate 110. The support plate 110 has a path groove 111 (e.g., ...) on the side facing the horn antenna 500. Figure 7 As shown, one end of the limiting shaft 411 is inserted into the path groove 111 and can slide along the path groove 111. Specifically, the path groove 111 can be an irregular annular groove, and the end of the limiting shaft 411 facing the path groove 111 is a rolling end. The rolling end can be a roller or ball coaxially arranged with the limiting shaft 411. The outer diameter of the roller or ball is less than or equal to the groove width of the path groove 111, thereby ensuring that the rolling end of the limiting shaft 411 slides along the path groove 111.

[0039] The outer plate 410 can be a U-shaped plate, and the inner plate 420 is inserted into the groove of the outer plate 410. The outer plate 410 has sliding holes, the length of which is parallel to the support plate 110. Bolts that match the sliding holes are fixed to the inner plate 420. When the inner plate 420 is inserted into the groove of the outer plate 410, the bolts on the inner plate 420 are designed to be able to insert into the corresponding sliding holes and slide along the length of the holes, thereby enabling the telescopic plate 400 to extend and retract.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this invention, on a plane parallel to the support plate 110, the shortest distance between the path groove 111 and the central axis of the horn antenna 500 is greater than the maximum distance between the inner plate 420 of the telescopic plate 400 and the central axis of the horn antenna 500, and the longest distance between the path groove 111 and the central axis of the horn antenna 500 is less than the maximum distance between the outer plate 410 of the telescopic plate 400 and the central axis of the horn antenna 500.

[0041] The operating principle of this invention is as follows:

[0042] When the present invention is used to monitor the water level of a river, the signal transceiver of the radar level gauge 200 can emit electromagnetic waves toward the river surface. The electromagnetic waves are reflected by the river surface and can be received by the horn antenna 500, thereby allowing the water level to be measured by the radar level gauge 200.

[0043] When encountering strong winds, the wind blows the radar level gauge 200. The horn antenna 500 at the bottom of the radar level gauge 200 increases the direct contact area between the radar level gauge 200 and the strong wind, thereby increasing the possibility of the radar level gauge 200 becoming loose or shaking, and thus increasing the inaccuracy of the radar level gauge 200. However, the rotating drum 300 and the telescopic plate 400 set on the horn antenna 500 can, when strong winds blow, cause the telescopic plate 400 to be affected by the strong winds, causing the rotating drum 300 to rotate around the horn antenna 500. The rotation of the rotating drum 300 and the telescopic plate 400 can convert some of the energy of the strong wind blowing the horn antenna 500 into the mechanical energy of the rotating drum 300 and the telescopic plate 400 rotating around the horn antenna 500, thereby reducing the force directly transmitted to the horn antenna 500 by the strong wind, thus reducing the impact of the strong wind on the radar level gauge 200, and making the radar level gauge 200 measure the liquid level more accurately.

[0044] On the other hand, the path groove 111 can restrict the movement path of the limiting shaft 411. When the path groove 111 is an irregular annular groove, the contact area between the telescopic plate 400 and the wind is variable when the telescopic plate 400 rotates due to strong wind. Therefore, the force on the roller from the telescopic plate 400 is also variable. This can prevent the telescopic plate 400 from eventually reaching a force balance due to being in the wind for a long time. When the roller is in a strong wind, the telescopic plate 400 can continuously drive the roller to rotate due to different forces, thereby continuously converting wind energy into mechanical energy. This makes the water level height measured by the present invention more accurate when monitoring river water levels.

[0045] Furthermore, the conical plate 310 is rotatably mounted on the horn antenna 500 via the slip limiting assembly 320.

[0046] Specifically, the conical plate 310 is more accurately a part of the frustum side plate. The telescopic plate 400 is fixed at the generatrix of the conical plate 310, and the extension line of the cross-sectional diameter of the telescopic plate 400 coincides with that of the horn antenna 500. Therefore, when the telescopic plate 400 rotates with the roller, no matter where the limiting shaft 411 at its end moves in the corresponding path groove 111, the central axis of the horn antenna 500 is always in the same plane as the telescopic plate 400.

[0047] In this embodiment, the limited-slip assembly 320 includes a limiting annular groove 321 and a limiting pin 322. The limiting annular groove 321 is formed on the outer cylindrical surface of the horn antenna 500, near the top of the horn antenna 500, and is coaxially arranged with the horn antenna 500. The limiting pin 322 is mounted on the conical plate 310, with one end of the limiting pin 322 away from the conical plate 310 inserted into the limiting annular groove 321 and slidably disposed within the limiting annular groove 321.

[0048] Specifically, the cross-section of the limiting ring groove 321 can be T-shaped, and the end of the limiting pin 322 away from the tapered plate 310 is a T-shaped end that is adapted to the limiting ring groove 321. The T-shaped end of the limiting pin 322 is inserted into the limiting ring groove 321 and can slide along the length direction of the limiting ring groove 321.

[0049] Multiple telescopic plates 400 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 300. Each telescopic plate 400 corresponds to a multiple conical plate 310. The multiple telescopic plates 400 are fixed at the generatrix of the multiple conical plates 310. All the multiple telescopic plates 400 face the central axis of the horn antenna 500. The extension lines of the multiple telescopic plates 400 facing the horn antenna 500 can converge at the central axis of the horn antenna 500.

[0050] The arrangement of multiple telescopic plates 400 allows the invention to be simultaneously subjected to the force of strong winds when it is in a windy state, thereby making it easier to drive the roller to rotate and more easily convert wind energy into mechanical energy.

[0051] The multiple telescopic plates 400 can also extend or shorten under the limiting action of the path groove 111 as the conical plate 310 rotates, which makes the force on the telescopic plates 400 uneven, which is more conducive to maintaining the rotation of the conical plate 310, and can continuously convert wind energy into mechanical energy, thereby realizing the unloading of wind power, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of the radar level gauge 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the telescopic plate 400 is provided with a mounting base 421 at the end away from the support plate 110, and the mounting base 421 is provided with a cleaning component 600 that can clean the inner wall of the horn antenna 500.

[0053] To avoid adverse effects of the cleaning component 600 on the rotation of the conical plate 310 or the rotating cylinder 300 on the horn antenna 500, the mounting base 421 can be installed on only one of the multiple conical plates 310. The mounting base 421 can be fixed to the bottom end of the corresponding telescopic plate 400, the inner plate 420 of which can extend vertically out of the outer plate 410 and be fixedly connected to the mounting base 421.

[0054] Mounting base 421 is located below horn antenna 500 and conical plate 310, with one side of mounting base 421 facing the central axis of horn antenna 500, and cleaning assembly 600 is located on the side of mounting base 421 facing horn antenna 500.

[0055] The cleaning assembly 600 includes a scraper tube 610, a negative pressure suction tube 620, and an elastic component 630. The negative pressure suction tube 620 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the scraper tube 610. The negative pressure suction tube 620 is a venturi tube, and the bottom end of the scraper tube 610 is connected to the constricted section of the negative pressure suction tube 620. A corner groove with its length direction parallel to the generatrix of the conical plate 310 is formed on the inner cylinder surface of the horn antenna 500. The corner groove is an obtuse-angled groove. The scraper tube 610 is a hollow tube adapted to the corner groove, allowing it to be inserted into the corner groove. When the scraper tube 610 is in the corner groove, the side of the scraper tube 610 away from the bottom of the corner groove is smoothly aligned with the inner cylinder wall of the horn antenna 500. Multiple cleaning holes are formed on the two sides of the scraper tube 610 corresponding to the two sides of the corner groove, and these cleaning holes are evenly distributed along the length direction of the scraper tube 610 on the corresponding tube surfaces.

[0056] Both the scraping tube 610 and the negative pressure suction tube 620 are movably mounted on the mounting base 421 via an elastic component 630, which is mounted on the mounting base 421. The elastic component 630 includes a fixed shaft, a fixed plate, and a spring. The fixed shaft is fixed to the mounting base 421, and its axis is perpendicular to the central axis of the horn antenna 500. The fixed plate is fixed to the fixed shaft, with a gap between the fixed plate and the mounting base 421. The spring is sleeved on the fixed shaft, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the fixed plate and the mounting base 421, respectively. The scraping tube 610 passes through the fixed shaft and is fixedly connected to it, while the negative pressure suction tube 620 is located below the fixed shaft.

[0057] In the initial state, the scraper tube 610 is located in the corresponding corner slot, with its side away from the bottom of the corner slot smoothly aligned with the inner wall of the horn antenna 500. At this time, the spring is in its original state or slightly compressed. When the invention is in a windy environment, the wind blowing on the telescopic plate 400 can drive the conical plate 310 (rotating cylinder 300) to rotate on the horn antenna 500, and the scraper tube 610 rotates synchronously with the telescopic plate 400;

[0058] When the scraper 610 rotates, the side of the scraper 610 can abut against the groove wall of the corner groove and gradually detach from the corner groove under the action of the telescopic plate 400. During the process of the scraper 610 detaching from the corner groove, the spring will be stretched.

[0059] After the scraper tube 610 disengages from the corner slot, under the elastic force of the spring, the scraper tube 610 will press against the inner wall of the horn antenna 500, and under the drive of the telescopic plate 400, it will move in a circular motion around the central axis of the horn antenna 500 along the inner wall of the horn antenna 500. When the scraper tube 610 rotates inside the horn antenna 500, the scraper tube 610 is always in contact with the inner wall of the horn antenna 500, thus scraping the inner wall of the horn antenna 500. When the scraper tube 610 scrapes the inner wall of the horn antenna 500, it can scrape off the dust or other debris accumulated on the inner wall of the horn antenna 500.

[0060] When the scraper tube 610 rotates inside the horn antenna 500, the negative pressure suction tube 620 connected to the scraper tube 610 can rotate synchronously. When the negative pressure suction tube 620 rotates, the airflow speed in its constricted section is faster, which can draw the scraper tube 610 into a negative pressure state. When the scraper tube 610 in the negative pressure state rotates inside the horn antenna 500, it can suck the dust scraped off or the dust and debris floating inside the horn antenna 500 into the scraper tube 610, and finally discharge it from the end of the negative pressure suction tube 620 away from its rotation direction.

[0061] Driven by the telescopic plate 400, the scraper 610 rotates inside the horn antenna 500. When the scraper 610 rotates, it can scrape the dust accumulated on the inner wall of the horn antenna 500, thereby reducing the influence of dust on the radar reflection signal, reducing or avoiding diffuse reflection of the radar signal, and making the signal received by the horn antenna 500 more stable, thus reducing the occurrence of inaccurate monitoring of river water level.

[0062] In some embodiments, a calibration mechanism 700 is provided between the support plate 110 and the rotating cylinder 300. The calibration mechanism 700 is disposed between the support plate 110 and the rotating cylinder 300. The calibration mechanism 700 includes a drive gear ring 710, a transmission assembly 720, a receiving shaft 730, a receiving plate 740, and a calibration plate 750. The drive gear ring 710 is fixed to the bottom end of the telescopic plate 400, the receiving plate 740 is fixed below the support plate 110 via the receiving shaft 730, the calibration plate 750 is rotatably disposed on the receiving plate 740, and the drive gear ring 710 drives the calibration plate 750 to rotate on the receiving plate 740 via the transmission assembly 720. A notch 741 is provided on the receiving plate 740, the notch 741 is located below the horn antenna 500, and is coaxially disposed with the horn antenna 500.

[0063] Specifically, the drive gear ring 710 is fixed to the bottom end of the inner rod of the telescopic plate 400. The mounting base 421 in the above embodiment is located inside the drive gear ring 710. The drive gear ring 710 is coaxially arranged with the horn antenna 500 and the rotating cylinder 300. The receiving shaft 730 is fixed to the side of the support plate 110 facing the horn antenna 500. The receiving shaft 730 is perpendicular to the support plate 110 and parallel to the length direction of the upright rod 101. A T-shaped rotating groove 742 is provided on the receiving plate 740. The end of the receiving shaft 730 away from the support plate 110 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the T-shaped rotating groove 742. The receiving plate 740 is located below the horn antenna 500 and has a notch 741 on it corresponding to the bottom port of the horn antenna 500. The notch 741 is coaxially arranged with the horn antenna 500. The calibration plate 750 is rotatably mounted in the T-shaped rotating groove 742 via the transmission assembly 720. The rotation axis of the calibration plate 750 is coaxially arranged with the receiving shaft 730. When the calibration plate 750 rotates in the T-shaped rotating groove 742, the calibration plate 750 can pass through the notch 741.

[0064] When the present invention is in a windy environment, the river surface may experience waves due to the strong wind, and the radar level gauge 200 may also be affected by the strong wind and shake, which may increase the measurement accuracy error of the radar level gauge 200. The calibration plate 750 can rotate with the drive gear ring 710 under the action of the transmission component 720, and can continuously rotate within the T-shaped rotating groove 742.

[0065] When the calibration plate 750 rotates past the notch 741 on the receiving plate 740, since the length of the receiving shaft 730 is fixed, the distance between the signal transceiver of the radar level gauge 200 and the calibration plate 750 can be considered a fixed value. Based on the transmission speed of electromagnetic waves, the accuracy of the radar level gauge 200 can be calibrated. Because strong winds are continuous, the accuracy of the radar level gauge 200 needs to be calibrated frequently to ultimately obtain a more accurate river level reading.

[0066] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 720 includes a first transmission wheel 721, a second transmission wheel 722, a third transmission wheel 723, and a reducer 724. A fixed plate is mounted on the receiving shaft 730, and the reducer 724 is mounted on the bottom of the fixed plate. The input end of the reducer 724 passes through the fixed plate and is equipped with the first transmission wheel 721. The output end of the reducer 724 is equipped with the second transmission wheel 722. The third transmission wheel 723 is rotatably connected to the receiving shaft 730 and fixed on the calibration plate 750. The drive gear ring 710 meshes with the first transmission wheel 721, and the second transmission wheel 722 meshes with the third transmission wheel 723.

[0067] Specifically, the fixed plate is an oval plate parallel to the receiving plate 740 and the support plate 110. The reducer 724 is mounted on the fixed plate. The first transmission wheel 721 and the second transmission wheel 722 are respectively mounted on the input and output ends of the reducer 724. The third transmission wheel 723 is rotatably mounted on the receiving shaft 730 via a bearing. The calibration plate 750 is mounted on the bottom of the third transmission wheel 723. The first transmission wheel 721, the second transmission wheel 722, and the third transmission wheel 723 can all be gears, and the reducer 724 can be a harmonic reducer 724. The transmission ratio between the input and output ends of the reducer 724 is a constant value, so the interval at which the calibration plate 750 passes through the notch 741 can be determined according to the wind speed or the rotation speed of the telescopic plate 400.

[0068] Furthermore, the calibration plate 750 includes a connecting plate 751 and a reflector plate 752. The connecting plate 751 is rotatably mounted on the receiving shaft 730, and the third transmission wheel 723 is rotatably sleeved on the receiving shaft 730 and fixedly connected to the connecting plate 751. The receiving plate 740 has a rotation channel communicating with the notch 741. This rotation channel is the T-shaped groove 742 in the above embodiment, and the rotation channel is coaxially arranged with the receiving plate 740 and the receiving shaft 730. The reflector plate 752 is fixed to the end of the connecting plate 751 away from the receiving shaft 730. The reflector plate 752 is inserted into the rotation channel. When the third transmission wheel 723 rotates, it can drive the reflector plate 752 to periodically pass through the notch 741 on the receiving plate 740 and rotate continuously around the receiving shaft 730 within the rotation channel.

[0069] As the reflector 752 rotates with the connecting plate 751, it completes a calibration of the radar level gauge 200 each time it passes through the notch 741. Frequent and periodic calibration of the radar level gauge 200 enables it to measure the river level even in windy conditions.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 100 is equipped with a power supply unit and a control box 104. The power supply unit includes a photovoltaic panel 103, which can be installed on the top of the pole 101. A photovoltaic inverter for use with the photovoltaic panel 103 is also installed on the pole 101. The electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panel 103 can be used to power the radar level gauge 200 through the photovoltaic inverter. The control box 104 is installed on the pole 101. The control box 104 contains a switch or a control mechanism for controlling the operation of the radar level gauge 200. Operators can control the radar level gauge 200 to monitor the river level through the control box 104.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
