[0002] Drainage network siltation detection is an important part of urban drainage network monitoring. The technical difficulty of drainage network siltation detection is how to collect on-site data signals of the drainage network. Chinese patent application CN202311011767.X, named "A drainage network siltation detection device and application method", uses an ultrasonic water depth sensor to detect drainage network siltation under the premise of knowing the diameter of the drainage pipe. However, several problems were found during the application process: 1. The cross-sectional shape of the drainage pipe siltation cannot be directly measured, such as whether the pipe is a round pipe or a square culvert; 2. The diameter of the drainage pipe cannot be directly measured; 3. When the pipe is not full, an additional manhole water level sensor needs to be used in conjunction; 4. The traction cable cannot automatically measure the length entering the pipe; 5. The power supply is placed in the handheld device, and the battery capacity is limited; 6. The float on the floating cable sinks into the top oil layer, causing a large cable friction, which limits the propeller's forward force. Utility Model Content

[0008] Furthermore, the ultrasonic hydroacoustic sensor may also be connected to the stepper motor shaft via a universal joint.

[0009] Furthermore, the ultrasonic underwater acoustic sensor and the circuit board in the waterproof housing are connected in at least two ways:

[0010] 1. The ultrasonic underwater acoustic sensor is connected to the second circuit board through a waterproof conductive slip ring. The waterproof conductive slip ring is arranged on a slip ring bracket. The slip ring bracket is arranged on a waterproof shell. A cable is passed through the inside of the waterproof shell.

It can detect the pipeline shape, size and siltation degree of the underground drainage network, provide a basis for dredging maintenance and check whether the dredging effect meets the standards.

[0035] The use process of this utility model: open the manhole cover, refer to the attached Figure 5 When the drainage pipe is not full, directly put the floating pipe sedimentation section scanning sensor 1 into the manhole and let it flow into the drainage pipe for detection; refer to the attached Figure 6 , when the drainage pipe is full of water at high water level, the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 is sent into the drainage pipe in the manhole for detection; when the drainage pipe is full of water at high water level, the electric propeller 7 of the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 is started, and according to the length of the floating cable 3 entering the manhole displayed by the meter 25, at a certain interval, the signal of the ultrasonic hydroacoustic sensor 17 is driven by the waterproof stepping motor 16 to scan the inside of the drainage pipe; if the drainage pipe is not full, the ultrasonic hydroacoustic sensor 17 scans the water section of the underwater part of the drainage pipe, and the above-water part is detected by the non-contact ranging sensor 13 on the upper side of the float;

[0039] When the drainage pipe is full of high water level, the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 will float to the water surface when it moves forward to the next manhole. At this time, the pull-back wire rope 11 on the floating cable 3 is pulled down, and then the electric propeller 7 is turned on in reverse to push the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 down to the water surface into the drainage pipe. The pull-back wire rope 11 is also used to retrieve the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 from the drainage pipe. Another function of the pull-back wire rope is to prevent the floating pipe siltation section scanning sensor 1 from being stuck in the drainage pipe by tree roots or the like.
