[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; it can be the internal connection of two components; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0030] The present application provides an underground pipe network conductivity level monitoring device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a micro-power intelligent radar level meter 1, a data connection line 2, a first fixed mounting bracket 3 and a conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4. Among them, the micro-power intelligent radar level meter 1 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner wall of the underground pipe network pit through the first fixed mounting bracket 3, including a shell 11, a control unit 12, a battery 13 and a radar liquid level sensor 14. The control unit 12 and the battery 13 are located inside the shell 11, and the radar liquid level sensor 14 is located outside the shell 11, and its sensing probe faces the water surface. The radar liquid level sensor 14 is used to collect water level information data. It determines the distance between the water surface and the radar by reflecting the radar wave signal on the water surface to calculate the water level. The control unit 12 integrated in the micro-power intelligent radar level meter 1 is connected to the RTU, collects the water level data collected by the radar liquid level sensor 14 and transmits it to the RTU for real-time monitoring and analysis, so as to timely discover and deal with potential problems. The control unit 12 can also be connected to terminal devices such as mobile phones through on-site Bluetooth configuration.
[0031] like Figure 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 includes a conductivity sensor, a liquid level sensor and an automatic cleaning device 43, which extends to the bottom of the underground pipe network of the cellar well and is connected to the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1 through a data connection line 2. The conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 is used to collect water quality and water level information data, wherein the conductivity sensor is used for water quality monitoring, and the liquid level sensor is used for water level monitoring. The collected data is collected and transmitted to the terminal device through the control unit 12 of the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1 for real-time monitoring and analysis. Preferably, in this embodiment, the conductivity sensor in the conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 is a four-electrode conductivity sensor, and the liquid level sensor is a pressure liquid level sensor. The pressure liquid level sensor adopts absolute pressure pressure liquid level monitoring, and the atmospheric pressure is compensated by the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1. It is worth noting that in the present embodiment, the data connection line 2 is fixed by a second fixed mounting bracket 5 installed on the inner wall of the underground pipe network pit, so that the conductivity-liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 remains in a vertical state. In some other embodiments, the data connection line 2 may not be fixed, and the conductivity-liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 may be located at the bottom of the underground pipe network in the pit in an inclined or horizontal form.
[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the conductivity level two-in-one sensor 4 away from the data connection line 2 is set as an oblique section 44, the sensing probe 41 of the four-electrode conductivity sensor is distributed on the oblique section 44, the sensing probe 42 of the pressure level sensor is located in the middle of the sensing probe 41 of the four-electrode conductivity sensor, and the automatic cleaning device 43 is also set on the oblique section 44, located next to the above-mentioned sensing probe. As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the automatic cleaning device 43 is an automatic cleaning brush. Driven by the motor, the brush rotates to the position of the sensing probe, and the sensing probe can be brushed and maintained to deal with the problem that the sensing probe at the bottom of the underground pipe network of the cellar well is susceptible to silt deposition and siltation, and ensure the normal operation of the sensor. The setting of the oblique section 44 increases the available area of the conductivity level two-in-one sensor 4 on the one hand, and can accommodate the installation of the automatic cleaning device 43 and the sensing probes of multiple sensors at the same time, and on the other hand, it also helps to prevent the sensing probe from being affected by silt deposition and siltation.
[0033] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the shell 11, data connection line 2, radar liquid level sensor 14 and conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 of the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1 are all sealed and waterproof structures, wherein the shell 11 of the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1 is sealed with double sealing rings on the outside and electronic sealant on the inside, and the connection between the conductivity liquid level two-in-one sensor 4 and the data connection line 2 of the micro-power intelligent radar liquid level meter 1 is also sealed, and the whole machine meets the IP68 waterproof standard to cope with the erosion of corrosive gases in the underground pipeline network or severe working conditions such as being submerged by water.
[0034] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the water level monitoring adopts a dual level monitoring redundant design of radar level monitoring and pressure level monitoring. When the underground pipe network pit is flooded or the use is restricted by the terrain and environment changes, the radar level sensor 14 cannot work normally and cannot reflect the real water level. At this time, the pressure level sensor is used as an auxiliary to avoid distortion of water level monitoring data. When it is not flooded on a daily basis, the radar level sensor 14 cooperates with the pressure level sensor to improve the accuracy of water level detection.
[0035] Furthermore, the micro-power intelligent radar level meter 1 can be provided with data connection line interfaces for multiple sensors, and other hydrological and water quality sensors that comply with the communication protocol in addition to the conductivity level two-in-one sensor 4 can be connected through the data connection line 2 to meet the monitoring needs of more underground pipe network systems. At the same time, the underground pipe network conductivity level monitoring device of this embodiment adopts a low-power and sleep design, enters a sleep state in the non-data collection and transmission stage, and transmits the information data collected by the sensor to the terminal device by means of timed wake-up, which improves the endurance of the device and does not require frequent replacement of batteries 13.
