Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of groundwater observation, and particularly relates to a protection device for preventing surface water from flowing into a groundwater observation hole. Background Art

[0002] As an important tool in the fields of hydrogeology and groundwater monitoring, the accuracy and reliability of groundwater observation holes are crucial for water resource management and environmental protection. Currently, groundwater observation holes are mainly used to monitor the water level and water quality changes in unconfined or confined aquifers. In temporary observation holes, PVC pipes are usually used for shaft protection to prevent cave-ins and ensure that they are higher than the ground to prevent surface water intrusion. However, in urban dense areas, the orifices of long-term groundwater level observation holes often cannot be higher than the ground, and protective fences cannot be set up around them, which makes the orifices vulnerable to external factors and results in frequent intrusion of surface water and rainwater, seriously affecting the accuracy of monitoring data.

[0003] Existing protective measures mainly include simple lid protection, but this method has obvious deficiencies. First, the lid is easily damaged by external factors such as pedestrian trampling and vehicle rolling, resulting in the loss of protective function. Second, even if the lid is intact, it cannot effectively prevent the intrusion of fine particles and rainwater, and these foreign substances will interfere with the monitoring results of water level and water quality. Therefore, the existing protective measures have significant defects in protecting groundwater observation holes from surface water intrusion, and a more effective and reliable solution is urgently needed.

[0004] Currently, the two existing technical solutions closest to the present invention include: one is to build a protective wall around the observation hole using concrete or masonry structures to prevent surface water from flowing in; the other is to install a simple metal or plastic lid at the orifice of the observation hole. However, both of these solutions have obvious disadvantages.

[0005] For the first solution, although the protective wall made of concrete or masonry structures can prevent surface water from flowing in to a certain extent, its construction is complex, the cost is high, and it is difficult to implement in urban dense areas because of limited space and possible impact on surrounding facilities. In addition, once the protective wall is damaged, it is difficult and costly to repair.

[0006] Although the second solution is simple and easy to implement, as mentioned above, the metal or plastic lid is easily damaged by external factors and cannot effectively prevent the intrusion of fine particles and rainwater. Therefore, the effect of this solution in protecting groundwater observation holes from surface water intrusion is limited. Content of the Utility Model

[0037] The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, for the protection device for preventing surface water from flowing into the groundwater observation hole, a groundwater observation hole 1 is provided on the ground, and a pipeline assembly is provided on the ground through the groundwater observation hole 1; a protection structure is provided at the top of the pipeline assembly; the protection structure includes a protective cover plate 2, a U-shaped water storage tank 3, an anti-backflow assembly, and a filtering assembly; the U-shaped water storage tank 3 is installed below the protective cover plate 2, the protective cover plate 2 is installed above the pipeline assembly, several anti-backflow assemblies are installed at the bottom of the U-shaped water storage tank 3, and the anti-backflow assembly can make the pressure in the U-shaped water storage tank 3 consistent with the pressure in the pipeline assembly; the filtering assembly is arranged in the U-shaped water storage tank 3 and is arranged above the anti-backflow assembly.

[0039] The upper part of the protective cover plate 2 is threadedly connected to the pipeline assembly, and the height of the upper surface of the protective cover plate 2 is flush with the ground. A ring-shaped mounting ring 4 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover plate 2, the inner wall of the U-shaped water storage tank 3 is threadedly connected to the ring-shaped mounting ring 4, and a sealing ring 5 is provided between the inside of the pipeline assembly and the outer wall of the U-shaped water storage tank 3.

[0040] The sealing ring 5 is usually made of high-quality materials such as silica gel or rubber and has good elasticity and aging resistance. Its shape and size are customized according to the specific requirements of the installation position to ensure the sealing effect. The sealing ring 5 is installed in the gap between the inner wall of the groundwater observation hole 1 and the outer wall of the U-shaped water storage tank 3 to enhance the sealing performance, provide an additional waterproof barrier, and enhance the sealing performance of the entire system.

[0041] The U-shaped water storage tank 3 is made of stainless steel. The top of the U-shaped water storage tank 3 is connected to the ring-shaped mounting ring 4 of the protective cover plate 2 as a whole through a threaded interface, and the outer wall is closely attached to the inner wall of the water level observation hole through the sealing ring 5, achieving double fixation and sealing effects. A certain amount of surface water can be stored inside the device to prevent surface water from flowing in due to the separation of the protective cover plate 2. The material of the device has good corrosion resistance and durability.

[0042] The protective cover plate 2 is designed with threaded interfaces or other fastening devices for firm connection with the observation hole opening. As the first line of defense, the protective cover plate 2 can effectively block large particulate matters such as fallen leaves and garbage from entering the observation hole, reducing potential damage to the monitoring equipment. It also prevents damage to the monitoring equipment caused by human destruction or accidental collision.

[0043] The anti-backflow component includes a connecting pipe 6 and an anti-backflow rubber pipe 7. The connecting pipe 6 is arranged at the bottom of the U-shaped water storage tank 3. One end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the U-shaped water storage tank 3, and the other end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 6 component. The anti-backflow rubber pipe 7 is arranged at one end of the connecting pipe 6 and is arranged inside the U-shaped water storage tank 3. The anti-backflow rubber pipe 7 is a thin-walled rubber ring and has a hollow conical structure. The bottom of the hollow cone of the anti-backflow rubber pipe 7 is connected to the connecting pipe 6, and the larger-diameter end of the anti-backflow rubber pipe 7 is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0044] One end of the anti-backflow rubber pipe 7 away from the connecting pipe 6 is a flat end. The middle of the flat end is connected to the U-shaped water storage tank 3 through a vent hole, and the other end is connected to the connecting pipe 6.

[0045] The anti-backflow component adopts a hollow conical structure with different diameters at the upper and lower parts. Under normal circumstances, it is used to ensure the air pressure balance in the observation hole. Under extreme conditions, such as heavy rain or other factors causing surface water to flow into the U-shaped water storage tank 3 and filling the U-shaped water storage tank 3 with surface water, the anti-backflow device closes due to the action of water pressure, effectively preventing surface water from flowing into the observation hole and avoiding pollution of groundwater or affecting the accuracy of monitoring data.

The filter screen 8 is installed on the mounting plate 9 through mounting bolts 15. The filter screen 8 is made of a fine stainless steel mesh or other corrosion-resistant materials and has a reasonable pore size design to block fine particulate matters such as sand grains and dust from entering the observation hole. The filter screen 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped water storage tank 3 through a fixed bracket. The filter screen 8 can filter fine particulate matters, reducing the risk of blockage of the observation hole caused by the accumulation of fine particulate matters. It improves the accuracy of monitoring data, prevents these substances from interfering with the monitoring results of water level and water quality, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of monitoring data.

[0047] Between the pipeline component and the groundwater observation hole 1 on the ground, a filter material layer 10 and a clay ball layer 11 are successively arranged from bottom to top. The pipeline component includes a water stop pipe 12, a filter pipe 13, and a sedimentation pipe 14.

The other end of the water stop pipe 12 is flush with the end of the filter material layer 10. The positions of the filter pipe 13 and the sedimentation pipe 14 correspond to the position of the filter material layer 10. The filter pipe 13 is provided with a plurality of filter holes.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
