Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of monitoring and early warning, in particular to a water gauge with an early warning function. Background Art

[0002] As the source of life and an indispensable natural resource for industrial development, water in its natural form is often unable to meet the extensive and complex needs of human society. Water conservancy projects, as the product of the harmonious coexistence of human wisdom and nature, have achieved effective control of water flow, prevention of flood disasters, and rational allocation and utilization of water resources by constructing a series of sophisticated hydraulic structures such as dams, dikes, spillways, sluices, water intake structures, water channels and aqueducts, greatly ensuring the stable development of human society and the quality of life.

[0003] In the daily operation and safety management of water conservancy projects, water level monitoring plays a vital role, especially during the flood season. Accurate and real-time water level data is the key cornerstone for formulating emergency response strategies and preventing potential disasters. However, traditional water level monitoring methods mostly rely on manual regular reading of measuring scales. This method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to cope with the challenges brought by the rapid changes in water levels during the flood season. It is easy to miss the warning water level, thereby delaying the warning opportunity and causing immeasurable losses.

[0004] Although automatic early warning systems based on sensing technology have been developed, such as float water level sensors and ultrasonic water level sensors, they have shown certain advantages in improving monitoring efficiency, but their application effects are still limited by various environmental factors. Specifically, float sensors are easily blocked and stuck under complex water quality conditions (such as high viscosity and many impurities), affecting measurement accuracy and even causing functional failure; while ultrasonic sensors may encounter signal interference or path changes when there are obstacles in the sound wave transmission path, causing measurement errors or data loss. In addition, both types of sensors may be affected by external interference sources such as electromagnetic field fluctuations and mechanical vibrations, thereby reducing the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data, and even triggering false alarms, bringing unnecessary troubles to water safety management.

In actual use, the controller 3 is electrically connected to the main control device, which can directly convey information to relevant staff for multi-party early warning.

[0030] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0031] When in use, the motor 25 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 25 drives the gear 26 to rotate, and the gear 26 drives the rack 24 to move accordingly along the cross bar 2.
