According to the current "Design Code for Dyke Engineering" GB50286-98 and "Design Code for Rolled Earth-Rock Dam" SL274-2001 of water conservancy projects: In order to monitor the safe operation of embankments and earth-rock dams, embankments with a level of 2 or above and dams with a height of more than 30m at levels 3, 4, and 5 should be equipped with seepage observation facilities to observe and grasp the pore pressure of the dam body infiltration line and dam foundation at any time. In practice, the traditional method is to drill a well with a small diameter at a certain distance on the cross section of the dam, set a pressure measuring tube inside, and then measure the water pressure and seepage pressure in the pressure measuring tube to obtain the measured data. Some larger dams will be equipped with observation corridors, and the aforementioned pressure measuring tubes are set in the observation corridors for technical personnel to observe.

[0020] Embodiment: A soil dam seepage monitoring device

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a soil dam seepage monitoring device, the specific structure of which includes:

[0022] An osmotic pressure tube 1 and an osmometer 2 for measuring seepage pressure, the osmometer 2 is powered by a data transmission cable 3, the data transmission cable 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the osmometer 2 and electrically connected thereto, a support plate 4 is provided in the osmotic pressure tube 1, and the position of the support plate 4 is adjusted by a lifting assembly.

[0023] The lifting assembly includes a slider 5, the top surface of which is provided with a through hole 6 that passes vertically, a lower support plate 7 that is fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of the inner wall of the pressure tube 1, a vertical plate 8 that is fixedly installed at one side of the top surface of the pressure tube 1, an upper support plate 9 that is fixedly installed at one side of the vertical plate 8, a slide bar 10 that is fixedly installed at the bottom surface of the upper support plate 9, the lower end of the slide bar 10 that is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lower support plate 7, the slide bar 10 that passes vertically through the through hole 6 and is slidably connected thereto, one side of the slider 5 that is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 4, and a lifting mechanism that is provided at the other side of the slider 5. When this structural design is in use, the slider 5 can be limited by the mutual cooperation between the slide bar 10 and the through hole 6 on the slider 5, so that the slider 5 can only drive the support plate 4 connected thereto to move vertically along the slide bar 10, and the lifting mechanism can facilitate the user to adjust the position of the slider 5 and the support plate 4.

[0024] The lifting mechanism includes a guide wheel 11, and a bracket 12 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the lower support plate 7 and the bottom surface of the upper support plate 9 respectively. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably installed in the bracket 12, and the guide wheel 11 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 13. A connecting block 14 is fixedly installed on the other side of the slider 5, and the upper end of the connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to one end of a rope 15. The rope 15 passes around the two guide wheels 11 in sequence from top to bottom, and the other end of the rope 15 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 14. A locking assembly capable of fixing the rope 15 is provided on the upper support plate 9. When this structural design is in use, after the rope 15 is tied to the two guide wheels 11, the two ends of the rope 15 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the connecting block 14 respectively, and the rope 15, the connecting block 14 and the two guide wheels 11 form a ring structure. When the user rotates the rope 15, the rope 15 can drive the slider 5 to move up and down through the connecting block 14 connected thereto, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the support plate 4. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0025] The locking assembly includes a screw 16. A screw hole is provided on the top surface of the upper support plate 9.
