[0023] Safety monitoring device 4 is installed at the top of dam body 2. Several safety monitoring devices 4 are spaced apart along the length of dam body 2. Safety monitoring device 4 has functions such as rainfall monitoring, water level monitoring, video AI monitoring, voice broadcast reminders, solar power generation, lightning rod, and LED lighting. Safety monitoring device 4 is existing technology.

[0024] A seepage pressure monitoring device 5 is vertically embedded in the dam body 2 and includes a piezometer and a pressure gauge. The piezometer is embedded vertically within the dam body 2 and the pressure gauge is located at the bottom of the piezometer. A cable 7 connects the seepage pressure monitoring device 5 to the MCU collection box of the safety monitoring device 4.

[0025] The dam foundation seepage monitoring device 6 is located at the junction of the downstream dam body 3 and the dam body 2. It uses an integrated IoT-enabled intelligent radar water level gauge, installed at the weir at the bottom of the dam body 2. This integrated IoT-enabled intelligent radar water level gauge uses a short-range radar water level sensor to measure the water level at the weir. Its built-in seepage calculation and analysis function calculates the reservoir dam's seepage rate in real time, and regularly transmits this real-time data via LoRa to the integrated reservoir monitoring terminal.

[0026] The Beidou displacement monitoring device 8 is arranged at the top of the dam body 2. The Beidou displacement monitoring device 8 can adopt the Beidou GNSS displacement monitoring system with model TH-WY1.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the Beidou displacement monitoring device 8 includes a column 11, a solar panel 15, a GNSS receiver 17, and a GNSS antenna 18. The GNSS receiver 17 is arranged inside the column 11, and the GNSS antenna 18 is arranged on the top of the column 11 and is electrically connected to the GNSS receiver 17.

[0028] The GNSS receiver 17 is connected to the GNSS antenna 18 via a radio frequency cable, and BD / GPS / GLONASS satellite data is obtained through the GNSS antenna 18. The GNSS receiver 17 is connected to the network antenna via a radio frequency cable, and data is transmitted and received in the full network frequency band through the network antenna. The GNSS receiver can sample RTCM data of the GNSS navigation module at intervals of 1 second, 5 seconds, 15 seconds, and 30 seconds, and upload it to the cloud server of the GNSS management platform in real time through the network communication module, so that the cloud server can perform comprehensive differential analysis and obtain a displacement monitoring accuracy of less than 5mm. The power consumption of the GNSS receiver 17 is less than 5W, and it can meet the requirements of 7 days of operation in continuous rainy weather when powered by a 100W solar panel 15 system.

[0029] A solar panel 15 is provided on the side of the column 11. The solar panel 15 is used to power the device. A battery for storing electricity is provided in the column 11. A rain shielding mechanism for wrapping the top of the column 11 is also provided on the top of the column 11.

[0030] The rainproof mechanism includes a support plate 12, several U-shaped frames 13, a rainproof cloth 14, a ring rail 16 and a winding assembly. The support plate 12 is arranged on the top of the column 11. The structure of the ring rail 16 is a circular base. A sliding groove is opened in a circumferential direction on the circular base for the end of the U-shaped frame 13 to slide. The ring rail 16 is arranged on both sides of the support plate 12. The first U-shaped frame 13 is fixed on the support plate 12, and the remaining U-shaped frames 13 are slidably adapted in the ring rail 16. When the several U-shaped frames 13 are fully unfolded, the rainproof cloth 14 covers the outside of the several U-shaped frames 13 and is connected to them. The winding assembly is used to open and close the U-shaped frames 13.

[0031] The rain shielding mechanism is used to provide physical protection for the GNSS antenna 18 and the GNSS receiver 17, and to achieve effective rain, insect and corrosion protection for the entire column 11; it also provides protection for the electromagnetic wave transmission of the GNSS antenna 18 and the network antenna 17, and supports the effective transmission of electromagnetic waves in multiple frequency bands such as 4G full network access and BD / GPS / GLONASS.

A spring 84 is provided on the outer sleeve of the pull rope 82 between two adjacent sliding sleeves 83.

[0033] A rain sensor and a humidity sensor are provided on the side of the column 11 to monitor whether it is raining. When it is not raining, the rain shielding mechanism is folded up, and when it is raining, the rain shielding mechanism is unfolded.

[0034] When the rain shield mechanism needs to be unfolded, the motor 85 drives the reel 81 to release the pull rope 82, and the U-shaped frames 13 are gradually unfolded to the position as shown in FIG. Figure 2 When the rain shield mechanism needs to be folded, the motor 85 drives the reel 81 to reel in the rope 82, and the U-shaped frames 13 compress the springs 84 and gradually retract to the state shown.

When electromagnet 86 is energized, its magnetic pole is opposite to that of the magnetic block 87. A controller controls the motor 85, electromagnet 86, rain sensor, and humidity sensor. When it rains, electromagnet 86 and motor 85 operate synchronously. When the U-shaped frames 13 are fully extended, the electromagnet 86 attracts the last U-shaped frame 13, preventing it from being blown away by the wind.
