[0026] A photovoltaic panel 3 is provided on the top of the measuring probe 1, and a battery is provided at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel 3. The battery is connected to the measuring probe 1, and a measuring sensor 4 is provided on the measuring probe 1.

The measuring probe 1 can be a laser probe, an infrared probe, etc. This measurement method belongs to the prior art, and those skilled in the art can directly purchase related products according to their own needs.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limit rod 5 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the measuring probe 1. The limit rod 5 is formed by splicing a number of module tubes 6 in sequence end to end. The module tube 6 is a through tube connected up and down. A groove 7 connected to the inside of the module tube 6 is provided on the upper outer tube wall of each module tube 6, and an elastic buckle 8 extending downward from the module tube 6 is provided on the lower inner tube wall; in any two adjacent module tubes 6, the buckle 8 of one module tube 6 is inserted into the other module tube 6 and stuck in the groove 7; the float 9 is sleeved on the limit rod 5 and can move freely along the limit rod 5 as the liquid level rises and falls.

[0028] Specifically, the limit rod 5 is mainly used to limit the float 9 so that the float 9 can only move up and down along the limit rod 5 with the rise and fall of the liquid level and will not be washed away by water, so as to ensure that the measuring probe 1 can always detect the position of the float 9.

[0029] The limit rod 5 used is a spliced ​​rod, and different numbers of module tubes 6 can be used to adjust the length of the limit rod 5 according to the actual measurement scene requirements, which is more flexible to use. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each module tube 6 has a slot 7 on its upper side and a buckle 8 on its lower side. When splicing, the buckle 8 of one module tube 6 can be inserted into the slot 7 of another module tube 6 .

An anti-slip ring 10 is provided at the bottom of the limiting rod 5 to prevent the floating block 9 from detaching from the limiting rod 5.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the buckle 8 includes a connecting portion 11 and a buckling portion 12.

A hemispherical buckling portion 12 is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the connecting portion 11. This buckle 8 is simple in form and easy to snap into.

[0034] Furthermore, in order to improve the reliability of splicing the module tubes 6 , the number of elastic buckles 8 and card slots 7 on each module tube 6 is multiple and corresponds one to one, so as to facilitate the splicing of the module tubes 6 .

[0035] In summary, this device has the following characteristics:

[0036] 1. The device is provided with a photovoltaic panel 3, which can generate electricity using solar energy and then store it in a battery, thereby powering the measuring probe 1, making it convenient to use outdoors where power supply is inconvenient;

[0037] 2. The device measures the water level by detecting the position of the float 9. The limit rod 5 is mainly used to limit the float 9 so that the float 9 can only move up and down along the limit rod 5 with the rise and fall of the liquid level and will not be washed away by the water, so as to ensure that the measuring probe 1 can always detect the position of the float 9;

[0038] 3. The limit rod 5 used is a spliced ​​rod, and different numbers of module tubes 6 can be used to adjust the length of the limit rod 5 according to the actual measurement scene requirements, which is more flexible to use;

[0039] 4. The module tubes 6 are connected by snap-fitting 8 and slots 7.
