[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 The present invention will be described clearly, completely and in detail.

[0021] refer to Figures 1-3 The adaptive flow velocity integrated hydrological flow survey device 100 proposed in this embodiment of the invention includes a housing 10, a flow velocity sensing unit 20, a first flow velocity measuring unit 30, a second flow velocity measuring unit 40, a water level measuring unit 11, a control unit 12, and a communication unit 13, wherein: The first velocity measuring unit 30 and the second velocity measuring unit 40 are both located outside the housing 10 and are used to measure the velocity of the water flow. The water level measuring unit 11 is installed outside the housing 10 and is used to monitor the water level. The flow velocity sensing unit 20 is disposed outside the housing 10 and is used to sense the water flow velocity; The control unit 12 is disposed inside the housing 10 and is used to turn the first flow velocity measuring unit 30 or the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 on or off according to the flow velocity information sensed by the flow velocity sensing unit 20, and to receive signals from the first flow velocity measuring unit 30, the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 and the water level measuring unit 11. The communication unit 13 is located inside the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the control unit 12. It is used to send the signals received from the first flow velocity measurement unit 30, the second flow velocity measurement unit 40, and the water level measurement unit 11 to the outside.

[0022] When using this device: The housing 10 is vertically fixed in the water area to be measured, so that the flow velocity sensing unit 20, the first flow velocity measuring unit 30, the second flow velocity measuring unit 40, and the water level measuring unit 11 are all submerged at the water depth to be measured. The control unit 12 and the communication unit 13 are activated, and the flow velocity sensing unit 20 begins to continuously collect water flow velocity and transmits the acquired velocity signal to the control unit 12 in real time.

[0023] After comparing and judging the real-time flow velocity value received from the flow velocity sensing unit 20, the control unit 12 sends a start / stop signal command to the first flow velocity measuring unit 30 or the second flow velocity measuring unit 40, thereby intelligently controlling the first flow velocity measuring unit 30 or the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 to collect flow velocity signals based on the flow velocity value; the activated first flow velocity measuring unit 30 or the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 measures the water flow velocity, and at the same time, the water level measuring unit 11 monitors the water level height in real time. Finally, the obtained flow velocity signal and water level signal are transmitted to the control unit 12 respectively.

[0024] The control unit 12 collects the received flow rate and water level signals and transmits them to the communication unit 13. The communication unit 13 then transmits the flow rate and water level signals to a remote data terminal via wired or wireless communication.

[0025] It is necessary to add that during the operation of this surveying device 100, the flow velocity sensing unit 20 continuously monitors the water flow velocity, and the control unit 12 adjusts the opening and closing of the first flow velocity measuring unit 30 and the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 in real time according to the dynamic changes in flow velocity, thereby achieving adaptive and high-precision hydrological flow surveys across the entire flow velocity range.

[0026] By employing the exploration device proposed in this embodiment of the invention, not only is adaptive and high-precision hydrological flow measurement achieved across the entire flow velocity range, but the efficiency of exploration work is also improved, and measurement accuracy is enhanced.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-2 The housing 10 is configured as a columnar member, and the water flow to be measured is inserted through one end of the housing 10 in the first direction.

[0028] For example, the first direction could be the e1 direction.

[0029] By setting the housing 10 as a columnar component and inserting it vertically into the water area to be measured, it is not only convenient to install, but also convenient to monitor other survey parameters.

[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-2 The first velocity measurement unit 30 and the second velocity measurement unit 40 are spaced apart along the first direction of the housing 10. By distributing the first velocity measurement unit 30 and the second velocity measurement unit 40 at intervals on the housing 10, it is possible to conveniently monitor the flow velocity at different depths and also to help improve the efficiency of monitoring the entire watershed.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-2 The water level measuring unit 11 is disposed at the end of the housing 10 in the first direction near the end into which the water flow is inserted. By disposing the water level measuring unit 11 at the end of the housing 10 in the first direction near the end into which the water flow is inserted, not only can the water level change signal be monitored, but the stability of the monitoring process can also be guaranteed.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-2 The flow velocity sensing unit 20 is located at the center of the housing 10 in the first direction. By placing the flow velocity sensing unit 20 at the center of the housing 10 in the first direction, it not only facilitates the sensing of different depths of the water body under test, but also improves the sensitivity of the sensing and ensures the realization of the whole watershed monitoring function.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 The control unit 12 is internally equipped with a first flow velocity threshold module and a second flow velocity threshold module connected in parallel by electrical signals. The first flow velocity threshold module is sequentially connected to the control unit 12 and the first flow velocity measurement unit 30 by electrical signals, and the second flow velocity threshold module is connected to the control unit 12 and the second flow velocity measurement unit 40 by electrical signals.

[0034] For example, the first flow rate threshold module can be a structure set to be lower than the second flow rate threshold module.

[0035] In practice, when the flow velocity is lower than the first flow velocity threshold module, the control unit 12 issues an instruction to the first flow velocity measurement unit 30 to perform flow velocity measurement of the water area to be measured; when the flow velocity is lower than the second flow velocity threshold module, the control unit 12 issues an instruction to the second flow velocity measurement unit 40 to perform flow velocity measurement of the water area to be measured; when the flow velocity is between the first flow velocity threshold module and the second flow velocity threshold module, the control unit 12 issues instructions to both the first flow velocity threshold module and the second flow velocity threshold module simultaneously, so that both work at the same time.

[0036] By setting a first flow velocity threshold module and a second flow velocity threshold module, the function of measuring the entire flow velocity is realized. Furthermore, the first flow velocity measurement unit 30 and the second flow velocity measurement unit 40 cooperate to achieve the detection function for flow velocities in different value ranges, which not only improves the working stability of the surveying device 100 in this embodiment of the invention, but also improves the measurement accuracy.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 The flow rate sensing unit 20 includes an impeller assembly and a speed sensor. The impeller assembly includes an impeller that is rotatably connected to the housing 10 via a rotating shaft. The speed sensor is mounted on the rotating shaft and is electrically connected to the control unit 12.

[0038] During operation, when the water in the area to be measured flows, the water flow drives the impeller to rotate. The impeller, in turn, drives the shaft to move synchronously. The rotation speed is monitored by a speed sensor, thus enabling the sensing function of the water flow. The speed signal detected by the speed sensor is received by the control unit 12, which then controls the operation of the first flow velocity measurement unit 30 and the second flow velocity measurement unit 40 in real time based on the received information.

[0039] By setting up impellers and speed sensors to sense the flow rate in real time and transmitting the signals to the control unit 12, the intelligent function of this surveying device 100 is realized.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 The first flow velocity measurement unit 30 includes a first flow velocity sensor, the second flow velocity measurement unit 40 includes a second flow velocity sensor, and the water level measurement unit 11 includes a plurality of electrodes distributed along the outside of the housing 10 and in a first direction. The first flow velocity sensor, the second flow velocity sensor and the electrodes are all electrically connected to the control unit 12.

[0041] Using flow velocity sensors to monitor water flow velocity improves the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring; furthermore, by setting up a first flow velocity sensor and a second flow velocity sensor, the efficiency of the survey process is improved.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 Protection circuits are provided between the control unit 12 and the first flow velocity sensor, the second flow velocity sensor, and the electrodes. These protection circuits are located inside the housing 10. By providing these protection circuits, the stability of the surveying device 100 and the coordination between its components are improved, thereby increasing surveying efficiency.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 Both the first and second flow velocity sensors are fixedly equipped with protective covers. These covers have guide holes for water flow, which are distributed relatively evenly across the covers. By providing these protective covers, the durability of the surveying device 100 is improved, making it suitable for various aquatic environments.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 One end of the guide hole is also provided with a flared section to guide the water flow into the interior of the protective cover.

[0045] For example, the flared portion can be a gradually widening cylindrical structure in a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0046] By incorporating a flared opening, the resistance to water flow entering the protective cover is reduced.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 The housing 10 has an equipment compartment 50 at one end opposite to the first end in the first direction, and the communication unit 13 is disposed inside the equipment compartment 50. By providing the equipment compartment 50, the communication unit 13 is protected, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the communication unit 13.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 An electromagnetic shielding layer is provided on the inner wall of the equipment compartment 50, and an anti-corrosion layer is provided on the outer wall of the equipment compartment 50. By providing the electromagnetic shielding layer and the anti-corrosion layer, electromagnetic interference from external electrical components such as the first flow velocity measuring unit 30 and the second flow velocity measuring unit 40 can be reduced during the operation of the communication unit 13, thereby improving the overall detection efficiency of the surveying device 100 and reducing potential problems during the detection process.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 The communication unit 13 includes a power supply module and a 5G communication module, which are electrically connected. The input port of the 5G communication module is electrically connected to the control unit 12. By setting up the 5G communication module, not only is the efficiency of signal transmission improved, but the convenience of signal transmission is also enhanced, thereby increasing surveying efficiency.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3The power supply module is connected to a solar charging interface. By using the solar charging interface for electrical connection and powering the various electrical components in this surveying device 100, the consumption of primary energy is saved.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figures 1-3 A power management module is provided between the power supply module and the solar charging interface to adjust the power supply current of the power supply module in real time. By setting up the power management module, the function of real-time adjustment of the power supply current is realized, improving the intelligence level of this surveying device 100. The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited to this. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
