[0024] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention for which protection is sought, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown in Figures 6-7, the utility model provides an integrated video radar water flow monitoring device 30 that is easy to disassemble and assemble, including a mounting bracket 10. A clamping portion 11 is provided on the right side of the mounting bracket 10. The multifunctional radar flow meter 30 can be quickly fixed to the end of the crossbar of the vertical pole through the clamping portion 11, which simplifies the installation steps and reduces the installation difficulty. A lower mounting portion 12 is provided at the bottom, and a control compartment 20 is detachably provided inside the lower mounting portion 12. This design facilitates the maintenance of the equipment and improves the flexibility of use. The control compartment 20 is respectively provided with The microcontroller 21, the wireless communication unit 22 and the power module 23 are designed to make the control part independent of other monitoring devices, so as to facilitate the flexible connection of different monitoring devices according to actual monitoring needs. A third connecting plate 202 is arranged on the right side of the control compartment 20, and a flow rate monitoring component 40 is arranged on the third connecting plate 202 for real-time monitoring of the fluid speed. A first connecting plate 13 is arranged at the bottom of the lower mounting portion 12, and a radar flow meter 30 is arranged at the bottom of the first connecting plate 13 for measuring the fluid flow rate. A protective outer cap is arranged on the top of the lower mounting portion 12. Shell 60, the protective shell 60 wraps the control compartment 20, the radar flow meter 30 and the flow rate monitoring component 40 inside, and the bottom of the protective shell 60 is provided with an opening 61 for the radar flow meter 30 and the flow rate monitoring component 40 to monitor. The power module 23 is electrically connected with the microcontroller 21, the wireless communication unit 22, the radar flow meter 30 and the flow rate monitoring component 40 to provide power supply for all electronic equipment. The microcontroller 21 is communicated with the wireless communication unit 22 and the flow rate monitoring component 40, and is responsible for managing and controlling the work of each unit. The wireless communication unit 22 is communicated with the upper telemetry terminal. The wireless communication unit 22 adopts 5G communication technology to exchange data with the upper telemetry terminal, breaking the limitations of traditional wired transmission methods and realizing data transmission over a longer range. This integrated design not only optimizes the installation process, but also expands the monitoring range through wireless communication technology, improves the efficiency and reliability of data transmission, and can view the fluid state in real time. At the same time, the addition of the flow rate monitoring camera can cooperate with the radar flow measurement, and improve the accuracy of the data through the comparison of the upper telemetry terminal.

[0026] In this embodiment, the power module 23 is a rechargeable battery pack, a charging management module 24 is provided inside the control compartment 20, a second connecting plate 201 is provided on the left side of the control compartment 20, the second connecting plate 201 passes through the outside of the protective shell 60, and is connected to the solar panel 50, the charging management module 24 is electrically connected to the solar panel 50 and the power module 23. Specifically, the solar panel 50 can charge the rechargeable battery pack through the charging management module 24, and the rechargeable battery pack stores the electrical energy and uses it to power loads such as the radar flowmeter 30. This design not only achieves self-sufficiency in electrical energy and reduces dependence on traditional energy, but also greatly reduces environmental pollution.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a folding connection member 51 is arranged between the second connecting plate 201 and the solar panel 50, and the folding connection member 51 includes a folding seat 511 and a mounting seat 512 which are hinged to each other. A positioning hole 5111 is opened on the front side of the folding seat 511, and an upper concave slider 513 and a lower concave slider 514 are slidably arranged inside the folding seat 511, and a spring 515 is arranged between the upper concave slider 513 and the lower concave slider 514.

The solar panel 50 is arranged on the top of the mounting seat 512. When it is necessary to disassemble and transport, the solar panel 50 only needs to be folded down, and the mounting seat 512 will squeeze the upper concave slider 513 to make the positioning hole 5111 coaxial with the positioning tube 5121. At this time, inserting a pin at the positioning hole 5111 can fix the solar panel 50 in a folded state, which is convenient for disassembly and transportation. After the installation is completed, it is only necessary to pull out the pin, and the elastic force of the spring 515 will push the upper concave slider 513 to slide up, thereby causing the mounting seat 512 to move axially to the left, and the solar panel 50 will automatically unfold and resume use. This design not only simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the solar panel 50, but also greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the flow rate monitoring component 40 includes an L-shaped mounting plate 41 arranged on the right side of the third connecting plate 202, and an angle adjustment seat 42 is arranged at the bottom of the L-shaped mounting plate 41. A flow rate monitoring camera 43 is arranged at the bottom of the angle adjustment seat 42. The flow rate monitoring camera 43 is communicatively connected to the microcontroller 21. The traditional radar flow meter 30 may be affected by various factors such as hardware aging, equipment angle deviation, river changes, and data transmission packet loss during the flow measurement process, resulting in limited data accuracy. At the same time, when the flow meter is unable to measure the flow, the situation in the test area cannot be observed in the first time. By adding a flow rate monitoring camera 43, the test area is monitored in real time, and high-definition videos and pictures are quickly transmitted to the upper telemetry terminal. This allows the operator to intuitively observe the real-time situation of the test area and compare it with the data of the flow meter, thereby improving the accuracy of the data. More importantly, when encountering an emergency situation where the flow meter cannot measure the flow, the camera can capture and record the on-site conditions in the first time, providing strong support for rapid response and processing.

[0029] In this embodiment, the angle adjustment seat 42 includes an internally arranged driving motor 421 and a rotating shaft 422. An angle sensor 423 is arranged between the right side of the rotating shaft 422 and the side wall of the angle adjustment seat 42. The left side of the angle sensor 423 passes through the side wall of the angle adjustment seat 42 to the outside. A connecting piece 424 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the rotating shaft 422. The right side of the connecting piece 424 is hinged to the angle adjustment seat 42. The output shaft of the driving motor 421 is hinged to the rotating shaft 422. The flow rate monitoring camera 43 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting piece 424.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the signal output end of the angle sensor 423 is communicatively connected with the signal input end of the microcontroller 21, and the signal output end of the microcontroller 21 is communicatively connected with the signal input end of the drive motor 421. When the upper telemetry terminal observes that there are differences in the monitoring images and needs to adjust the camera angle, the upper telemetry terminal sends an angle offset instruction through the 5G communication technology, and the wireless communication unit 22 receives and transmits the signal to the microcontroller 21, and the microcontroller 21 immediately controls the drive motor 421 to rotate. The angle sensor 423 continuously monitors the rotation angle during this process. When the preset angle is reached, it sends a signal to the microcontroller 21 to stop the drive motor 421 immediately. At the same time, the upper telemetry terminal can perform real-time comparison based on the transmitted video surveillance data to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the angle adjustment, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the signal output end of the angle sensor 423 is communicatively connected with the signal input end of the microcontroller 21, and the signal output end of the microcontroller 21 is communicatively connected with the signal input end of the drive motor 421. When the upper telemetry terminal finds that there is a difference in the monitoring screen and the angle adjustment is required, the angle offset instruction can be sent through the 5G communication technology, and the wireless communication unit 22 transmits the signal to the microcontroller 21, and the microcontroller 21 controls the rotation of the drive motor 421. When the angle sensor 423 detects that the angle rotation is reached, it sends a signal to the microcontroller 21 to stop the drive motor 421. At the same time, the upper telemetry terminal can compare according to the returned video monitoring data to finally complete the angle adjustment.

[0032] In another embodiment, an external platform 62 is provided on the right side of the protective housing 60, and a movable groove for accommodating the L-shaped mounting plate 41 is provided on the top of the external platform 62. A tipping bucket rain gauge is provided on the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 41. The tipping bucket rain gauge is communicatively connected to the microcontroller 21. The rainfall information collected by the tipping bucket rain gauge is transmitted to the upper telemetry terminal for processing and analysis, which can provide real-time and accurate data support for various applications, and thus provide a basis for relevant decisions.

[0033] The above structure solves the problem in the prior art that a variety of monitoring devices are integrated on the pole to coordinate their work, resulting in complex installation, difficult construction and difficulty in promotion.

[0034] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the microcontroller 21, power module 23, solar panel 50, radar flow meter 30, drive motor 421, angle sensor 423 and flow rate monitoring camera 43 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0035] The power supply and principles of the microcontroller 21, power module 23, solar panel 50, radar flow meter 30, drive motor 421, angle sensor 423 and flow rate monitoring camera 43 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.

[0036] The utility model is further described above with the help of specific embodiments, but it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the utility model. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in this field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the utility model.
