Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of laboratory hydraulic / river engineering model tests, and particularly relates to a multifunctional measuring device applicable to a bend flume. Background Technique
[0002] Natural rivers, especially mountain rivers, almost all present a curved shape, and the bend can be regarded as the most basic unit of the river. The research on the movement law of bend flow occupies an important position in many fields of hydraulic engineering. For example, it has been widely applied in aspects such as river regulation, port construction, water diversion and sediment discharge, and improvement of river navigation. Ideally, a full three-dimensional simulation of the natural bend river is carried out and quantitative research is carried out with measured data. However, due to the difficulties, high costs, and poor accuracy of obtaining measured data, usually people's research on natural bend rivers starts from laboratory flumes. The existing bend flow experimental devices are applicable to the tests of constant curvature and equal-width bend flows such as U-shaped bends and annular bends. However, natural bend rivers generally have variable curvature bends and the bend width is variable. It is difficult for the existing bend flow experimental devices to restore the flow regime of natural bend rivers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multifunctional measuring working platform device for bend flume tests. Content of the Utility Model

There are two transverse through grooves 9 in the middle of the limiter. A first bearing 11 is installed in the through groove 9 to connect a rotating buckle group 8. A through hole 801 is opened in the middle of the rotating buckle group 8; the through hole 801 is for a transverse long rod 13 to pass through to limit the movement of the transverse long rod 13; one end of the transverse long rod 13 is fixedly connected to the second limiter 5, and the other end passes through the first limiter 4. The first limiter 4 can move horizontally on the transverse long rod 13; a moving measuring platform 14 is slidably connected between the two transverse long rods 13. The moving measuring platform 14 is provided with a first fixed support 15 and a second fixed support 16. The first fixed support 15 is used to fix a water level probe 17, and the second fixed support 16 is used to fix a current meter 18;
[0028] Both the upper parts of the first fixed support 15 and the second fixed support 16 are provided with knobs 19. Both the upper parts of the water level probe 17 and the current meter 18 are provided with gear grooves 20. The knobs 19 are engaged with the gear grooves 20.

[0029] The rotating buckle group 8 has a cylindrical structure and can rotate by 0 - 90° to adapt to the change in the curvature of the curved flume 1.
[0030] The limiting wheel set includes a first limiting wheel 6 and a second limiting wheel 7. The first limiting wheel 6 and the second limiting wheel 7 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 10. The upper part of the connecting rod 10 is connected to the limiter through a second bearing 12.
[0031] Both the first limiter 4 and the second limiter 5 each include at least one set of limiting wheel sets to achieve contact with the horizontal track.
[0032] Embodiment 2
[0033] The working principle is described using a laboratory flume model:
[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the limiters 4 and 5 are respectively placed on the first horizontal track 2 and the second horizontal track 3 on both sides of the curved flume 1. The end of the transverse long rod 13 is fixed to the limiter 5, and the other end passes through the limiter 4; by adjusting the positions or heights of the limiters, the water level probe 17, and the current meter 18, the water levels and flow velocities of flumes with different widths can be measured.
[0035] When the device passes through position a, the transverse width of the curved flume is D1 at this time:
[0036] D1 = D - L1,
[0037] D is the length of the horizontal long rod, and L1 is the length of the horizontal long rod outside the curved flume at position a;
[0038] When the device passes through position b, the horizontal width of the curved flume at this time is D2:
[0039] D2 = D - L2,

[0041] When the device passes through position c, the horizontal width of the curved flume at this time is D3:
[0042] D3 = D - L3,
[0043] D is the length of the horizontal long rod, and L3 is the length of the horizontal long rod outside the curved flume at position c;
[0044] When the device passes through position d, the horizontal width of the curved flume at this time is D4:
[0045] D4 = D - L4,

[0047] This device can also measure the water level and flow velocity of water with different curvatures or degrees of bend. Specifically, the rotating buckle group 8 provided inside the limiter changes the angle of the rotating buckle group 8 as the angle of the horizontal track changes, so that the device measures the water level and flow velocity under different curvatures or degrees of bend.
[0048] The knob 19 meshes with the gear slot 20, and by turning the knob 19, the heights of the water level probe 17 and the flow velocity meter 18 are finely adjusted to measure the water level and velocity of water at different depths.
