DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. 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.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a flow velocity measuring device for water conservancy projects includes: a base 1 arranged on the shore; a lifting rod 2 arranged on the base 1; a horizontal rod 3 slidably connected to the lifting rod 2; an extension component 4 telescopically connected to the horizontal rod 3; a detection rod 5 arranged at the front end of the extension component 4; a floating plate 6 slidably connected to the detection rod 5; and a flow meter 7 rotatably connected to the floating plate 6.

[0023] The base 1 includes a base 11 and a side plate 12. The side plate 12 is fixed to the side of the base 11. A connection hole 111 is provided at the bottom of the base 11, and a hook 121 is provided at the rear end of the side plate 12. The base 1 is installed on the edge of the river channel of the water conservancy project. Before the river bank construction is completed, a concrete column pier is cast on the bank, and positioning bolts are embedded in the concrete column pier. The connection hole 111 is inserted into the positioning bolt to fix the position of the base 1; after the river bank slope construction is completed, a steel ring is embedded in the river bank slope, and the hook 121 is hooked to the steel ring, thereby reducing the distance between the device and the river channel and saving manufacturing materials.

[0024] The lifting rod 2 is vertically fixed to the base 11 and placed vertically. The lifting rod 2 provides a track and route for the lifting and lowering of the detection rod 5. The two sides of the lifting rod 2 are concave to form a slideway 21, and the slideway 21 also runs in the vertical direction. A rotating pulley 22 is provided on the top of the lifting rod 2.

[0025] The horizontal rod 3 is a shell with three sides open. The rear end of the horizontal rod 3 is closed. A slider 31 is provided at the rear end of the horizontal rod 3. The slider 31 is slidably connected to the slide 21. The slider 31 moves up and down along the slide 21. A connecting ring 32 is provided on the top of the horizontal rod 3. The two ends of the connecting ring 32 are connected to the two side walls of the horizontal rod 3, thereby enhancing the bearing capacity of the horizontal rod 3.

[0026] A winding shaft 112 is provided on the base 11, and the winding shaft 112 is driven by a first motor 113. A pull wire 8 is wound on the winding shaft 112. After the first motor 113 rotates, it drives the pull wire 8 to reel in and release the wire along the winding shaft 112. The pull wire 8 is first lifted upward and overlapped on the rotating pulley 22, and then the pull wire 8 is connected to the connecting ring 32. The pull wire 8 pulls the horizontal rod 3 to lift and lower. The rotating pulley 22 makes the pull wire 8 rotate more smoothly, reducing the friction resistance between the lifting rod 2, so as to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the horizontal rod 3.

[0027] The extension component 4 includes a rack 41, a gear shaft 42 and a second motor 43. The rack 41 is slidably connected to the horizontal rod 3, the gear shaft 42 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the horizontal rod 3, the gear shaft 42 is engaged with the rack 41, and the second motor 43 drives the gear shaft 42 to rotate. When the gear shaft 42 rotates, the gear shaft 42 drives the rack 41 to extend and retract with the horizontal rod 3 as a reference. When the river surface is wider, the rack 41 is extended outward to measure the flow velocity in the middle of the river channel. When the river surface is narrow, the rack 41 is retracted to adapt to the width of the river channel.

[0028] A slide groove is provided on the inner wall of the horizontal rod 3, and a bump is protruded from the lower part of the side wall of the rack 41. The bump is slidably connected to the slide groove, and the slide groove clamps the bump, so that the rack 41 can only move forward and backward.

[0029] The detection rod 5 includes a rod body 51 and a data platform 52. The data platform 52 is arranged on the top of the rod body 51. The data platform 52 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rack 41. The data platform 52 does not contact the water surface. The data platform 52 records and saves the monitored water flow velocity data and transmits it to the cloud. The monitoring personnel can remotely view the water flow velocity data.

[0030] Two limit bars 511 are provided on the side wall of the rod body 51, and a limit plate 512 is provided at the bottom of the rod body 51. The floating plate 6 is slidably connected to the limit bars 511. The limit bars 511 allow the floating plate 6 to move up and down only along the direction of the rod body 51, and the floating plate 6 will not rotate under the impact of the water flow. The limit plate 512 prevents the floating plate 6 from falling off from the bottom of the rod body 51. When measuring the flow rate, the bottom of the rod body 51 is extended below the water surface, or the limit plate 512 is inserted into the bottom of the river channel that has not yet been filled with water, so that there is space for the floating plate 6 to move up and down. When the river channel is filled with water or released during construction, the height of the water surface will rise and fall. The floating plate 6 always floats above the water surface with the rise and fall of the water surface, further allowing the current meter 7 to be in the water for work, reducing the situation where the water surface is lower than the current meter 7 due to the large change in the water level height during the water conservancy construction. When the water level rises or falls beyond the height of the rod body 51, the height adjustment of the horizontal bar 3 is manually adjusted to a larger range.

[0031] A rotating shaft 61 is provided on the top of the current meter 7, and the rotating shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the floating plate 6. The current meter 7 rotates relative to the rotating shaft 61, so that the current meter 7 can be perpendicular to the water flow direction, which is convenient for measuring a more accurate flow rate.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
