[0043] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited only to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present utility model is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those of ordinary skill in the art.
[0044] The main purpose of roof ponding monitoring is to timely detect and handle roof ponding problems to ensure that the safety and service functions of buildings are not affected. At the same time, it also provides data support for optimizing the design of the roof drainage system and improving drainage efficiency. The monitoring environment of roof ponding monitoring is relatively fixed, mainly concentrated on the building roof, but it is vulnerable to climate influence. For example, rainy weather, etc. Extreme weather such as heavy rain and typhoon will cause a large amount of ponding in a short time, and long-term continuous rainfall may also cause failures such as moisture ingress and short circuit of the monitoring equipment. In addition, dust and other sundries are likely to accumulate on the roof. Since roof ponding monitoring needs to be connected to the outside to achieve water level monitoring, dust is also likely to accumulate inside it. If not removed in time, a thick dirt layer may be formed after long-term accumulation, affecting the monitoring accuracy.
[0045] Referring to Figures 1-2 , the present utility model provides a roof ponding monitoring device, which includes a main body part 100 and a liquid level gauge. The main body part 100 forms a cavity 101, a side water inlet hole 102 and a bottom water inlet hole 103 communicating with the cavity 101. The side water inlet hole 102 is opened on the side wall 110 of the main body part 100, and the bottom water inlet hole 103 is opened on the bottom wall 120 of the main body part 100. The liquid level gauge is located in the cavity 101, and the liquid level gauge is used to measure the liquid level height in the cavity 101. Through the dual settings of the side water inlet hole 102 and the bottom water inlet hole 103, the device realizes the comprehensive monitoring of roof ponding and improves the monitoring sensitivity. The bottom of the main body part 100 is open. When there is ponding, the dust accumulated inside it mixes with the ponding to form muddy water. When the water level drops, the bottom of the device is naturally flushed, and the muddy water in the device is discharged through the bottom water inlet hole 103.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the main body part 100 further includes a ventilation hole 104 communicating with the cavity 101. The setting of the ventilation hole 104 enables the internal pressure of the cavity 101 to be balanced with the external atmosphere, preventing damage to the monitoring device or affecting the monitoring accuracy due to unbalanced pressure. The ventilation hole 104 is located above the side water inlet hole 102 and the bottom water inlet hole 103, and the ventilation hole 104 is higher than the alarm liquid level of the monitoring device. Since the ventilation hole 104 is higher than the alarm liquid level of the monitoring device, it ensures that the pressure inside the cavity 101 can remain stable before the water level reaches the alarm liquid level, preventing false alarms triggered by pressure changes and improving the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring device.
[0047] Optionally, a plurality of vent holes 104 are provided. According to the actual situation of the roof and the direction of accumulated water flow, a plurality of bottom water inlet holes 103 may be reasonably arranged to further optimize the drainage effect and ensure that accumulated water can enter the monitoring device more smoothly.
[0048] In some embodiments of the utility model, the side water inlet 102 is a strip-shaped structure extending in the height direction. Since the strip-shaped structure has a certain degree of extensibility in the vertical direction, it can adapt to water accumulation of different depths. When the depth of the water accumulation changes continuously, the strip-shaped water inlet can maintain a stable water inlet effect. The bottom water inlet 103 is constructed as a round hole with a wider opening, which is convenient for reducing the accumulation and clogging risks of debris and dirt. In addition, the strip-shaped water inlet is smaller in width than the opening of water inlet holes of other shapes. When the accumulated water carries debris (such as leaves, soil, pebbles, etc.) and flows through the water inlet, larger debris will be blocked outside the hole, reducing the probability of debris entering the cavity 101. Of course, even if the debris enters the cavity 101 through the side water inlet 102, it can be discharged through the bottom water inlet 103 with a larger opening width.
[0049] Optionally, a plurality of side water inlet holes 102 are arranged in an array along the height direction and the circumferential direction.
[0050] Optionally, a plurality of bottom water inlet holes 103 are arranged in a circumferential array.
[0051] In the above embodiment, in a complex and changeable roof environment, water may flow in from multiple directions at the same time, and the provision of multiple side water inlet holes 102 and bottom water inlet ports enables the monitoring device to better adapt to this situation. The provision of multiple side water inlet holes 102 and multiple bottom water inlet holes 103 improves the water inlet efficiency and drainage efficiency, thereby improving the overall monitoring efficiency.
[0052] In some embodiments of the utility model, the main body 100 further includes a top cover 130, the top cover 130 is connected to the top of the side wall 110, and the top cover 130 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 120, and the bottom wall 120, the top cover 130 and the side wall 110 enclose a cavity 101. The close connection between the top cover 130 and the side wall 110 and the bottom wall 120 enhances the overall structural strength of the monitoring device, making the device more stable when subjected to external pressure or impact, and less prone to deformation or damage. Optionally, the top cover 130 is detachably connected to the main body 100. The provision of the top cover 130 makes the monitoring device more convenient during installation. When the monitoring device needs to be maintained or overhauled, the staff can easily open the top cover 130 to enter the cavity 101 for inspection and maintenance without disassembling the entire device.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the main body portion 100 is provided with a fixing member 140, and the monitoring device is connected to an external structure through the fixing member 140. Optionally, the fixing member 140 is connected to the side wall 110 of the main body portion 100. Optionally, the fixing member 140 is connected to a wall or a gutter through fasteners such as bolts.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the liquid level gauge includes a connecting rod 210 and a floating ball 200 located in the cavity 101. The connecting rod 210 is connected to the top cover 130, and the floating ball 200 is movably connected to the connecting rod 210. Optionally, the floating ball 200 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 210 so that the floating ball 200 can move freely in the vertical direction to float up and down as the liquid level changes. Optionally, limit members 220 are provided at the uppermost and lowermost positions of the preset moving stroke of the floating ball 200 to ensure that the floating ball 200 does not disengage from the connecting rod 210 during the moving process.
[0055] The end of the connecting rod 210 is fixedly connected to the top cover 130. Optionally, a sealing measure is taken at the connection between the connecting rod 210 and the top cover 130 to prevent liquid from seeping into the cavity 101. In some embodiments of the present utility model, the connecting rod 210 and the top cover 130 are integrally formed. The integrally formed setting enables a seamless connection between the connecting rod 210 and the top cover 130, thereby enhancing the sealing performance between the cavity 101 and the top cover 130. The integrally formed setting also simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the processing procedures and the number of components, reduces the production cost, and improves the production efficiency.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the top cover 130 includes a mounting portion 105 with an open end and a cover plate 160 that can cover the opening. The mounting portion 105 is used to mount the transmitter of the liquid level gauge. The transmitter can be installed into the mounting portion 105 through the opening, and the mounting portion 105 can be closed by the cover plate 160. The waterproof grade of the mounting portion 105 is not less than IP65. The liquid level change is monitored in real time by the transmitter to detect the liquid level abnormality in time. The top cover 130 is also provided with a wiring port 150, and the wiring port 150 is used for external wiring. Optionally, the transmitter receives the liquid level information of the liquid level gauge and is connected to the building automation system through the wiring port 150. The building automation system sets the water levels to be recorded and issues prompts or alarms. The building automation system usually sets a design water level for the designed water depth of the rainwater system, an overflow water level for the designed water depth of the overflow system, and an alarm water level for a certain water depth exceeding the overflow water level.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the liquid level gauge adopts a magnetic floating ball liquid level gauge.
