[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. This invention introduces a static water level mode and a discharge mode through a mode switching circuit, which can respectively meet the needs of groundwater level contact detection and water removal detection. This avoids the problem of insufficient adaptability of traditional single triggering methods in well washing, pumping and other working conditions, and improves the practicality and flexibility of groundwater monitoring in different operating stages.
[0021] 2. This invention collects water resistance values through a probe and performs cross-comparison using a voltage acquisition and comparison circuit.

[0022] 3. The circuit of this invention is powered by a 9V lithium battery and uses comparators, transistor switches and other devices for state control.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

It has two working modes: still water level and discharge. The still water level mode is used to monitor whether it touches the water surface, and the discharge mode is used to monitor whether it leaves the water surface.
[0031] Battery 1 is a 9V lithium battery 1, which powers the voltage acquisition and comparison circuit 2, the audible and visual alarm circuit 4 and the leakage control output circuit 5.
[0032] Voltage acquisition and comparison circuit 2 is used to acquire the resistance value of groundwater and generate two opposite level signals by cross-comparison of the voltage.
[0033] Mode switching circuit 3 is used to identify the state of single-pole double-throw switch and change the circuit's operating mode and the state of the mode indicator light.

[0036] In this scheme, the acquisition end of the voltage acquisition and comparison circuit 2 is connected to the probe and the sensitivity adjustment knob potentiometer. When the probe is inserted into the groundwater, the weak current output by the probe passes through the water body to form a voltage signal. After cross-comparison with a fixed threshold, a high-level signal and a low-level signal are output respectively. When the switch of the mode switching circuit 3 is in the still water level mode, the transistor switch is turned on, the audible and visual alarm circuit 4 is activated by the power of the battery 1, and a sharp buzzer alarm is emitted and the indicator light flashes continuously. When the switch of the mode switching circuit 3 is in the draining mode, the transistor switch is not turned on, the audible and visual alarm circuit 4 is not activated, and the mode indicator light will be lit through the XOR gate. When the probe leaves the groundwater, the two output signal levels of the voltage acquisition and comparison circuit 2 will automatically switch. In the still water level mode, the audible and visual alarm circuit 4 is not activated, and in the draining mode, the audible and visual alarm circuit 4 is activated. The mode indicator light will be lit through the XOR gate, and at the same time, the draining control output circuit 5 will output a shutdown signal to the well washing equipment to automatically stop the groundwater well washing operation.
