Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water flow monitoring, and more specifically, relates to a hydrological flow measuring device with a protection mechanism. Background Art
[0002] A radar flow meter is a device that uses radar technology to measure water velocity and flow. It calculates the water velocity by emitting a radar beam and receiving the reflected signal, and then derives the flow. Existing radar flow meters are generally composed of supporting vertical rods, supporting horizontal rods, solar panels, control boxes and radar probes.
[0003] Existing application number: CN202221390217.4, the utility model provides a radar flow meter for underground pipe network monitoring, including a column, an electric control box fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the column, a fixing mechanism provided below the column, an energy storage mechanism provided above the column, an adjustment mechanism provided on one side of the outer wall of the column, and a mounting mechanism provided at one end of the adjustment mechanism. The radar flow meter for underground pipe network monitoring can facilitate adjustment of the position of the radar flow meter by setting a cross pipe, a connecting hole, a fixing bolt, a movable rod and a threaded hole. When in use, the movable rod can be extended or shortened by moving the movable rod at one end of the cross pipe, and different lengths can be adjusted as needed. When adjusted to the appropriate position, the movable rod can be fixed by connecting the connecting hole and the threaded hole with a fixing bolt. The setting of multiple fixing bolts can keep the movable rod stable, and the movable rod can facilitate the installation of the radar flow meter.
[0004] Based on the above, in order to ensure that enough sunlight can be absorbed to be converted into sufficient electricity to power the radar probe, and to ensure the radar probe's monitoring effect on water flow, the solar panels and radar probe are generally exposed directly to the outside. However, this layout also exposes them directly to the threat of extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and hail. There is a risk of being tilted by strong winds or damaged by hail, which may weaken their performance and affect subsequent normal operations. Utility Model Content
