[0040] Embodiment 1:

[0041] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a pressure regulating device 0 for a long-distance gravity water delivery system in mountainous areas, comprising: a pressure regulating pipe 1, an electric regulating valve 2 and a transfer pipe 3 for communicating with the atmosphere, and a monitor 4, which are connected in sequence;

[0042] The pressure regulating pipe 1 is used to communicate with the water supply main pipe 7. Preferably, the pressure regulating pipe 1 can be flexibly arranged according to the terrain;

[0043] The transfer tube 3 includes a first tube section 31 and a second tube section 32 vertically connected to the first tube section 31;

[0044] The first pipe section 31 is provided with a first pipe opening, the electric regulating valve 2 is arranged between the first pipe opening and the pressure regulating pipe 1, and is communicatively connected with the monitor 4;

[0045] The second pipe section 32 is provided with a second pipe opening, and the second pipe opening is bent toward the ground for communicating with the atmosphere;

[0046] A liquid level meter 5 is provided in the transfer tube 3, and the liquid level meter 5 is communicatively connected with the monitor 4;

[0047] The monitor 4 is used to receive the alarm signal of the liquid level meter 5 and transmit the alarm signal to the water delivery control platform. The water delivery control platform remotely controls the valve opening of the electric regulating valve 2 through the monitor 4 to release the alarm and realize pressure regulation of the water delivery main pipe 7;

[0048] In some preferred embodiments, the monitor 4 includes a video monitoring module, a signal transmission module, and a control module that are communicatively connected.

[0049] The video monitoring module is configured to collect the video of water gushing at the second pipe orifice.

[0050] The signal transmission module is configured to transmit the collected video of water gushing to the water conveyance control platform.

[0051] The control module is configured to receive the control signal fed back by the water conveyance control platform and regulate the valve opening degree of the electric control valve 2 based on the control signal.

[0052] Specifically, when using the pressure regulating device 0 provided by the present utility model, when the pipeline is over-pressurized (when the water hammer shock wave in the main water conveyance pipe 7 reaches the pressure regulating pipe 1), and the liquid level gauge 5 monitors that the water pressure reaches a predetermined value and water gushes out, the liquid level gauge 5 outputs an alarm signal to the monitor 4. The monitor 4 activates its video monitoring module and collects the video of water gushing at the second pipe orifice, and transmits the collected video of water gushing to the water conveyance control platform of the waterworks. The staff issues a control signal to the monitor 4 according to the water gushing situation in the video of water gushing. The monitor 4 reduces the valve opening degree of the electric control valve 2 according to the control signal to reduce the amount of water gushing, achieving the purpose of water conservation (it can maintain a small amount of water gushing, keep it connected to the atmosphere, and reduce the subsequent pipeline static pressure); the staff can also adjust the valve flow at the starting point of the main water conveyance pipe 7 according to the liquid level situation fed back by the liquid level gauge 5 to reduce the inlet dynamic water pressure and relieve the over-pressurized state of the pipeline system, avoiding the occurrence of pipe burst accidents.

Such a setting can reduce the static water pressure of the pipeline behind the pressure regulating device 0, make the pipeline in a relatively safe pressure range, reduce the pressure bearing grade of the pipe material, save project investment, and thus reduce costs.

[0054] When a negative pressure or air pocket occurs in the main water conveyance pipe 7, compared with the traditional installation of a combined air inlet and exhaust valve, since the second pipe orifice of the adapter pipe 3 of this pressure regulating device 0 is communicated with the atmosphere, it can quickly intake and exhaust air, eliminate the damage of the water hammer shock wave to the pipeline, and there is no need for equipment maintenance and repair, and there is no potential safety hazard of equipment damage, thus reducing the damage of negative pressure to the main water conveyance pipe 7; therefore, this pressure regulating device 0 can make an accurate and rapid response to overpressure and negative pressure states, realize the pressure regulation of the main water conveyance pipe 7, and ensure the stable operation pressure of the long-distance gravity water conveyance system in mountainous areas without maintenance and repair, eliminating water hammer damage; in addition, the pressure regulating device 0 provided by the present utility model is only provided with an electric control valve 2, and through the cooperation of the electric control valve 2, the monitor 4 and the liquid level gauge 5, the purpose of rapid and accurate pressure regulation is achieved. Compared with the traditional multi-valve linkage or the regulation method of a pressure regulating structure, the structure of this regulating device is simple, and it can also save investment for the project and reduce costs.

When the liquid level gauge 5 monitors that the liquid level reaches a preset height and issues an alarm signal, the video monitoring module is controlled to be turned on. On the one hand, it can reduce energy consumption, and on the other hand, it can also reduce unnecessary video storage;

[0057] The electric control valve 2 is communicatively connected with the control module for controlling the opening degree of the valve of the electric control valve 2, and the control module is also communicatively connected with the water conveyance control platform so as to receive the control signal feedback by the water conveyance control platform.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment, a protective net 6 is arranged at the second pipe orifice for preventing insects from entering the pipeline, and the second pipe orifice is bent towards the ground direction, which can also prevent other pollutants from entering the pressure regulating pipe 1 and then polluting the entire pipeline. Preferably, during installation, the second pipe orifice of the adapter pipe 3 is directed towards the direction of the nearby gully so that the water discharged from the second pipe orifice can flow away in time.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, the pressure regulating device 0 further includes a power source, which is a solar cell or a nearby power source; in this embodiment, the power source is preferably a solar cell; in some embodiments, if there is a nearby boundary power source, the nearby power source can be selected to supply power to this pressure regulating device 0.

Preferably, the pressure regulating device 0 is arranged at positions where overpressure and negative pressure are likely to occur in the mountain water conveyance system; since the pressure regulating device 0 can quickly and accurately respond to the overpressure state and negative pressure state of the main water conveyance pipe 7, thereby maintaining the stability of the system operation pressure and further eliminating water hammer damage; it can also adjust the static pressure of the long-distance gravity water conveyance system in the mountain area, thereby reducing the pressure resistance grade of the pipe material, saving investment, and reducing costs.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the pressure regulating pipe 1 is 2 to 3 grades smaller than that of the main water conveyance pipe 7.

[0063] As a preferred embodiment, the second pipe orifice of the pressure regulating device 0 is placed above the dynamic water pressure line of the main water conveyance pipe 7, and the installation height of the pressure regulating pipe 1 of the pressure regulating device 0 is 2 to 4 m higher than the dynamic water pressure line.
