Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of dry runoff measurement, and particularly relates to a water collection device for trunk runoff measurement. Background Art
[0002] Trunk runoff measurement is a part of forest ecological benefit monitoring. The water retention capacity of forests is calculated through factors such as rainfall, surface runoff, evaporation, soil infiltration parameters, and trunk runoff. The detection of trunk runoff is an important part of the monitoring system. Currently, when collecting water, the trunk runoff measurement device generally wraps a cut rubber hose around the trunk in a ring shape and tightens it with wire hoops, and then connects a pipeline to the rubber hose to collect rainwater into a bucket. However, due to the uneven surface of the trunk, only tightening the rubber hose directly on the trunk with wire, rainwater is likely to leak from the gap between the rubber hose and the trunk, resulting in inaccurate monitoring data. Therefore, a trunk runoff measurement device that can prevent water leakage and ensure the accuracy of monitoring data is needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Embodiments
[0016] The following Figures 1 - 3 further describes the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying
[0017] An embodiment of the present application discloses a tree trunk runoff measurement and water collection device. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3, A device for measuring trunk runoff and collecting water, comprising a water guiding component 1 arranged around the trunk. The water guiding component 1 includes a fixing part 11 and a water guiding part 12. Both the water guiding part 12 and the fixing part 11 are rubber rings and are integrally formed. Before use, the whole of the fixing part 11 and the water guiding part 12 is strip-shaped. After surrounding the trunk, the two ends are connected by hot melting to form a ring shape. During use, the fixing part 11 is wrapped around the outer side wall of the trunk, and the water guiding part 12 surrounds the outside of the trunk. The bottom wall of the water guiding part 12 is fixed on the side of the fixing part 11 facing upward. A water guiding groove 2 is formed between the inner side wall of the water guiding part 12, the top wall of the fixing part 11 and the outer side wall of the trunk; a number of U-shaped glue grooves 111 are opened on the inner side wall of the fixing part 11, and the openings of the glue grooves 111 face the trunk; along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the water guiding groove 2, injection holes 114 communicating with a number of the glue grooves 111 are evenly opened; a fastening component 3 for fastening the fixing part 11 on the trunk is arranged on the outer side wall of the fixing part 11. The fastening component 3 is a hoop, and a groove 113 for the hoop to be inserted into is opened on the outer side wall of the fixing part 11; after fastening, sealant is injected through the injection holes 114, and the sealant fills into the glue grooves 111. The sealant is in full contact with the tree surface to fill the gap between the fixing part 11 and the tree surface, thus greatly reducing the leakage of rainwater.
[0018] Refer to Figure 3 , The fixing part 11 is provided with a water outlet hole 112 communicating with the water guiding groove 2. A connector 4 is arranged in the water outlet hole 112. The connector 4 includes a tube body 41 and an end cover 42 which are integrally formed. The inner side wall of the tube body 41 is attached to the inner side wall of the water outlet hole 112, and the end of the tube body 41 extends outside the water outlet hole 112 for connecting an external water pipe to collect rainwater into a rain gauge; the end cover 42 is recessed in the fixing part 11 so that the top wall of the end cover 42 is flush with the bottom wall of the water guiding groove 2. A water retaining ring 421 is arranged on the end cover 42 along its circumferential direction. A ring groove 115 for the water retaining ring 421 to be embedded is opened on the fixing part 11. By embedding the water retaining ring 421 in the ring groove 115, the waterproof performance between the connector 4 and the water outlet hole 112 is improved.
[0019] Refer to Figure 1 , Above the water guiding groove 2, a shielding net cover 5 for blocking fallen leaves is arranged. The shielding net cover 5 is detachably fixed on the top wall of the water guiding part 12. The arrangement of the shielding net cover 5 prevents fallen leaves from falling into the water guiding groove 2 and affecting the flow of rainwater. The shielding net cover 5 is composed of two symmetric semi-circular ring structures. A number of fixing protrusions 121 for inserting into the mesh holes of the shielding net cover 5 are arranged on the water guiding part 12, so as to play a role in fixing the shielding net cover 5.
