Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of paddy field water level monitoring, and specifically to a paddy field water level gauge. Background Art

[0002] As a main tool for measuring and monitoring water levels, water level gauges are widely used in various places, such as the measurement of boiler water levels, reservoir water levels, river water levels, paddy field water levels, etc.

[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with the reference publication number: CN218035149U discloses a low-power integrated paddy field water level gauge, which includes a measurement head and a measurement rod. A capacitive water level sensor is arranged at the lower end of the measurement rod, and a first connection structure is arranged on the outer side of the upper end of the measurement rod. The capacitive water level sensor is connected to the first connection structure through a power supply circuit. A power supply is arranged inside the measurement head, and a second connection structure is arranged on the inner side of the lower end of the measurement head. The power supply is connected to the second connection structure. The measurement head is sleeved on the upper end of the measurement rod and the first connection structure and the second connection structure are arranged opposite to each other. The power supply can supply power to the capacitive water level sensor through the second connection structure, the first connection structure and the power supply circuit. In addition to measuring the water level, this water level gauge can also measure other data by arranging multiple other types of capacitive water level sensors at the bottom of the measurement rod, and realize power supply and communication through the power supply circuit, the first connection structure and the second connection structure. At the same time, it can take corrosion prevention into account and improve the service life of the water level gauge.

[0004] Existing farmland water level gauges generally reflect the liquid level change by changing the resistance of a resistor through the up and down movement of a floating ball. Due to the influence of farmland water quality and crops, the floating ball may be blocked by sundries and crop leaves in the farmland water during the up and down movement, resulting in an error between the monitored data and the actual data. At the same time, the existing farmland water level gauges cannot maintain a vertical state after installation.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model provides a paddy field water level meter, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Through the setting of the limiting plate in the present utility model, the limiting plate is of a disc structure, the main nail is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom surface of the limiting plate, and the secondary nails are fixedly arranged in an "X" shape at an angle of 90 degrees with the center of the limiting plate outside the main nail below the limiting plate.

A groove that fits with the external thread structure of the outside of the connection block 14 is provided at the top end of the limit tube 13. A movable connection is formed between the connection block 14 and the limit tube 13.

[0029] The capacitive water level sensor 15 is movably connected to the limit tube 13 through the connection block 14. An annular groove structure that fits with the filter net 18 is provided at the bottom end of the connecting pipe 17 and the top end of the limit tube 13.

[0030] The filter net 18 is installed outside the capacitive water level sensor 15 through the connecting pipe 17 and the limit tube 13, and a tubular cavity is left between the filter net 18 and the capacitive water level sensor 15.

[0031] The connecting pipe 17 and the fixed pipe 110 are of a hollow structure. The bracket 19 is of a hollow through structure. The lower end of the bracket 19 is movably connected to the capacitive water level sensor 15 through the thread structure outside the top end of the connecting pipe 17.

The upper end of the connecting wire 16 passes through the bracket 19 and the fixed pipe 110 and is connected to the RTU module 111. The RTU module 111 is electrically connected to the capacitive water level sensor 15 through the connecting wire 16.

[0033] Specifically, the limit plate 1 can facilitate applying a downward force to the main nail 11 and can keep the bracket 19 in a vertical state. The main nail 11 can limit the position of the limit plate 1. The secondary nails 12 can prevent the bracket 19 from tilting. The limit tube 13 can connect the limit plate 1 and the connection block 14 and limit the position of the lower end of the filter net 18.

After the installation is completed, the soil will support the limit plate 1 and prevent the limit plate 1 from deflecting. At the same time, the secondary nails 12 will also limit the rotation angle of the limit plate 1, so as to avoid the capacitive water level sensor 15 tilting after the installation is completed, so as to avoid the deviation between the monitoring data and the actual data. The filter screen 18 is of a cylindrical tubular structure. The filter screen 18 is installed outside the capacitive water level sensor 15 through the annular groove structure at the top end of the limiting pipe 13 at the bottom end of the connecting pipe 17.

After the installation is completed, the water in the paddy field will pass through the filter screen 18 and enter the cavity between the filter screen 18 and the capacitive water level sensor 15. The impurities and crop leaves in the water will be blocked by the filter screen 18 and will not contact the capacitive water level sensor 15. The capacitive water level sensor 15 can be equivalent to a capacitor. Since the dielectric constant of water is different from that of air, when the water level change is detected, it will cause a change in capacitance. The capacitive water level sensor 15 adopts a layered scanning technology to dynamically analyze various parameters of the capacitive water level sensor 15 in the medium, automatically perform dielectric constant correction and temperature compensation, and output a digital signal related to the water level height to the RTU module 111 to reflect the water level change. This method can avoid the influence of impurities and crop leaves in the water on the monitoring data.
