[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4A floating temporary water level device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a fixed rod 1, a movable rod 2 and a buoyancy member 3; the fixed rod 1 is used to be inserted into the river bank when in use, and a plumb bob assembly and a scale line 11 are provided on the fixed rod 1, and the plumb bob assembly is used to measure whether the fixed rod 1 is in a plumb state, and the scale line 11 is arranged on the surface of the fixed rod 1 along the axial direction; one end of the movable rod 2 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 1 to slide along the axial direction of the fixed rod 1; the buoyancy member 3 is fixedly connected to the other end of the movable rod 2 through a connecting rod 8 arranged vertically.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixed rod 1 can be made of a stainless steel hollow steel pipe or a steel rod, and a scale line 11 is engraved on its surface along the axial direction. When in use, the fixed rod 1 is driven into the river bank to a certain depth along the vertical direction to keep it in a plumb state stably. The movable rod 2 and the connecting rod 8 can be made of light stainless steel, such as a stainless steel pipe with a thin-walled structure. One end of the movable rod 2 is slidably sleeved on the fixed rod 1 to form a movable connection. The buoyancy member 3 is placed on the water surface to sense the change of water level. The movable rod 2 can be driven to slide along the axial direction of the fixed rod 1 through the buoyancy member 3 and the connecting rod 8. The up and down sliding amount of the movable rod 2 is observed according to the scale line 11, so as to obtain water level change information.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present application, a top cap plate 12 is fixedly provided at the upper end of the fixing rod 1, and a pointed head 13 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the fixing rod 1. Specifically, the pointed head 13 is located at the lower end of the fixing rod 1, and the pointed head 13 faces downward, so as to facilitate insertion into the soil at the river bank when applying force. The top cap plate 12 is located at the top end of the fixing rod 1, so as to facilitate applying force to the fixing rod 1 and connecting the vertical line 41. The top cap plate 12 can be connected to the fixing rod 1 by threads.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present application, the plumb bob assembly includes a plumb bob 4 and an indicator mark 5, the plumb bob 4 is hung on the top cap plate 12 through a vertical line 41, the indicator mark 5 is slidably mounted on the fixed rod 1, and when the fixed rod 1 is in a plumb state, the distance from the free end of the indicator mark 5 to the center of the fixed rod 1 is the same as the distance from the vertical line 41 to the center of the fixed rod 1.

[0037] When the fixing rod 1 is inserted into the river bank, since the indicator mark 5 is slidably sleeved on the fixing rod 1, by sliding the indicator mark 5 along the axial direction of the fixing rod 1 and observing the change in the distance between the free end of the indicator mark 5 and the vertical line 41, it can be judged whether the fixing rod 1 is vertically driven into the soil. This judgment method is more accurate and reliable. Specifically, during the sliding process of the indicator mark 5, if the free end of the indicator mark 5 is always close to the vertical line 41, it means that the fixing rod 1 is in a plumb state.

[0038] It should be noted that the indicator 5 includes a collar 51 sleeved with the fixed rod 1, and a rod 52 perpendicular to the axis of the collar 51, and the end of the rod 52 away from the collar 51 is the free end of the indicator 5. After the indicator 5 is used, the screw 53 provided on the collar 51 can be screwed in and tightened, thereby locking the indicator 5 on the top of the fixed rod 1 to avoid affecting the sliding of the movable rod 2.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present application, a hook 6 is provided on the lower side of the top cap plate 12 , and one end of the vertical line 41 is fixedly connected to the hook 6 .

[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, a fixing ring 23 is fixedly provided at one end of the movable rod 2, and the movable rod 2 is slidably sleeved with the fixed rod 1 through the fixing ring 23. The fixing ring 23 is sleeved on the fixed rod 1, and when the buoyancy member 3 senses the change in water level, the fixing ring 23 can be driven to slide up and down along the fixed rod 1, and the change in water level can be accurately determined by observing the relative position change between the end face of the fixing ring 23 and the scale line 11.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present application, a rotation limiting structure is provided between the fixing ring 23 and the fixing rod 1 to limit the rotation range of the fixing ring 23 around the fixing rod 1. By providing the rotation limiting structure, the rotation range of the movable rod 2 around the fixing rod 1 can be limited, so as to prevent the movable rod 2 from rotating too much around the fixing rod 1 under the action of wind after the water gauge device is installed, thereby preventing the buoyancy member 3 from floating to the edge of the river bank and being affected by rocks on the bank and the like to affect the water level monitoring.

[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rotation limiting structure includes a limiting member 7 disposed on the fixing ring 23, and a groove 14 disposed on the outer wall of the fixing rod 1, wherein the groove 14 extends along the axial direction of the fixing rod 1, and the limiting member 7 can at least partially extend into the groove 14. Specifically, a boss 231 is disposed on the outer wall of the fixing ring 23, and the limiting member 7 can be a screw disposed at the center of the boss 231, which can be inserted into the groove 14 on the outer wall of the fixing rod 1 by screwing in the screw, and the width of the groove 14 is greater than the diameter of the screw, thereby limiting the rotation angle range of the fixing ring 23.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present application, the length of the movable rod 2 is adjustable. When the length of the movable rod 2 is adjustable, the fixing rod 1 can be driven into a suitable position according to the river bank soil conditions, and then the movable rod 2 is extended so that the buoyancy member 3 can reach the water surface, making the device more convenient to use.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present application, the movable rod 2 includes a thick rod segment 21 and a thin rod segment 22, one end of the thick rod segment 21 is slidably sleeved with the fixed rod 1, the thin rod segment 22 is slidably sleeved in the thick rod segment 21, and the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the thin rod segment 22. At the same time, a locking structure can be provided between the thick rod segment 21 and the thin rod segment 22 so as to lock the position of the thin rod segment 22 after it is extended. The locking structure can be a clamp 24 or a screw.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present application, the buoyancy member 3 is a floating cake or a floating ball. Specifically, the floating cake can be a round floating cake, which can be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials and can float stably on the water surface. The connecting rod 8 can be a lightweight stainless steel hollow steel rod, the lower end of which is connected to the center of the floating cake or the floating ball by a thread, and the upper end can be welded or threaded to the movable rod 2.

[0046] The specific use process of the device is as follows:

[0047] 1. Before deploying the water gauge device, check whether all components in the water gauge device are complete and intact to ensure that all components can work normally;

[0048] 2. Choose a suitable measurement location to ensure that the water area is stable, the water flow is relatively stable, and avoid other interferences;

[0049] 3. Install the fixed rod 1 on the river bank. Before installation, first sleeve the movable rod 2 on the fixed rod 1, and make the groove 14 on the fixed rod 1 face the required direction. During installation, hammer the top cap plate 12 to insert the pointed head 13 into the river bank soil. Observe and adjust through the indicator mark 5, plumb bob 4 and vertical line 41 to ensure that the fixed rod 1 is in a vertical state after being inserted into the soil, and the fixed rod 1 can stand stably.

[0050] 4. Connect the buoyancy member 3 to the movable rod 2 through the connecting rod 8, rotate the movable rod 2 and adjust its length so that the buoyancy member 3 can reach the water surface position where it needs to be placed, then rotate the limit member 7 to face the groove 14 on the fixed rod 1, and then extend the limit member 7 into the groove 14 to limit the rotation angle range of the movable rod 2;

[0051] 5. At different observation times, the water level is recorded by manually reading the scale line 11 on the fixed rod 1. Of course, the water level can also be measured and recorded by setting up a measuring instrument.

[0052] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the utility model in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only the specific implementation method of the utility model and is not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
