Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] The utility model provides Figure 1-3 The river and lake ice age water level monitoring equipment shown comprises a steel pipe base 1, a steel pipe 2 is inserted and connected to the top of the steel pipe base 1, the steel pipe base 1 and the steel pipe 2 together form a hydrostatic cylinder structure, an ultrasonic detection mechanism is arranged on the top of the steel pipe 2, an internal insulation mechanism is arranged at the contact position between the steel pipe base 1 and the steel pipe 2 and the ice surface, the internal insulation mechanism comprises an insulation casing 3, and an internal insulation component is arranged in the inner interlayer of the insulation casing 3.

[0021] It should be noted that the steel pipe base 1 and the placed steel pipe 2 form a hydrostatic cylinder structure.

In the process of connecting the two, the inner wall diameter of the steel pipe base 1 is larger than the outer wall diameter of the placed steel pipe 2. Therefore, an opening is opened diagonally at the top of the steel pipe base 1, and a group of nuts are welded at intervals of 0.2m on both sides of the placed steel pipe 2 in the vertical direction, and four pulleys are welded at the top of the steel pipe base 1 and the bottom of the placed steel pipe 2 to fill the gap between the two to prevent shaking.

[0022] When in use: when the water level rises to a certain range, the steel pipe 2 is placed and lifted up a part, and the nut on its outer wall is screwed into the screw rod and stuck at the top opening of the steel pipe base 1.

The base is 1.5m higher than the riverbed in order to fully insert the stainless steel pipe into the base. For example, when the riverbed elevation is 987.00m, the steel pipe base 1 and the placement steel pipe 2 overlap by 0.3m to ensure stability. After the matching design of the two steel pipes, the reading range of the instrument can be increased to 988.50m to 989.70m.

[0024] Specifically, the inner insulation component includes inner insulation cotton 301, which is arranged around the inner interlayer of the insulation sleeve 3 and close to the outer wall.

[0025] Furthermore, the temperature control unit includes a temperature controller 8 , and an electrical control end of the temperature controller 8 is electrically connected to the energized end of the heating wire 302 .

[0026] It should be noted that, through the setting of the temperature controller 8, the temperature inside the thermal insulation sleeve 3 is first monitored, and by controlling the power supply and heating of the heating wire 302, the gap between the inner wall of the thermal insulation sleeve 3 and the hydrostatic tube structure is always maintained within a specific temperature range to ensure that the gap between the thermal insulation sleeve 3 and the hydrostatic tube is not frozen.

[0027] In the second embodiment, the outer diameter of the heat preservation tube 3 is set to 35cm, the inner diameter is 15cm, the length is 1.3m, it is open and bottomless, and the length can be adjusted according to the ice thickness over the years; the top of the heat preservation tube 3 is not closed in the early stage, and a circle of 5cm thick heat preservation cotton is used to fill the inner and outer walls of the interlayer, close to the outer wall of the interlayer, and the gap between the heat preservation cotton and the inner wall of the interlayer is 5cm.

[0041] The ultrasonic sensor 7 is used to measure the distance from the sensor to the water surface, and the elevation of the sensor is obtained by reverse calculation.

[0042] The communication module 6 uses a mobile 4G network channel to transmit the water level data collected by the front end to the server in the computer room. The communication module 6 is a radio type and can achieve data transmission within 1km;

[0043] As a preferred implementation, the communication module 6 adopts a 4G-DTU module type, which is used to achieve long-distance data transmission and break through distance limitations.

[0044] Experimental example:

[0045] The test riverbed elevation is 987.00m. The steel pipe base 1 and the placed steel pipe 2 overlap by 0.3m to ensure stability. Through the matching design of the two steel pipes, the reading range of the instrument can be increased to 988.50m to 989.70m, and the real-time water level data can be monitored. The monitoring data is fed back to the monitoring software of the computer room server.

[0055] Instrument altitude: the distance between the ultrasonic sensor 7 and the water surface;

[0056] Water level amplitude: the first data processing (for example, 0.1 in the figure above means that the latest set of data is compared with the previous set of data. If the absolute value of the interpolation between the two is greater than 0.1m, it is discarded and the previous set of data is used to replace the latest data);

[0057] Real-time water level: the latest set of data;
