[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0046] Example:
[0047] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a probe protection device for monitoring water level includes:
[0048] The protective seat 1 is stably arranged in the water area to be monitored, and has a receiving groove 131 with an upward opening on the top;
[0049] The sealing plate 2 is provided on the top of the protective seat 1 to shield the receiving groove 131;
[0050] The probe placement tube 3 is horizontally inserted into the protective base 1, with the tail end flush with the outer surface of the protective base 1 and the head end located in the accommodating groove 131;
[0051] The water inlet pipe is horizontally installed in the protective base 1, with the tail end flush with the outer surface of the protective base 1 and the head end located in the accommodating groove 131; the lowest water level of the water inlet pipe is not higher than the highest water level of the probe placement tube 3; the axis of the water inlet pipe is perpendicular to the flow direction of the water body to be monitored;
[0052] The sand guide pipe is provided in the middle portion thereof within the protective seat 1, with the head and tail ends not exceeding the outer surface of the protective seat 1. The inner cavity of the sand guide pipe is connected to the bottom of the accommodating groove 131; the axis of the sand guide pipe is parallel to the flow direction of the water body to be monitored;
[0053] The trash rack 6 is arranged outside the protection base 1 to shield the tail end of the water inlet pipe and the head end of the sand guide pipe.
[0054] The protective seat 1 and the sealing plate 2 form a relatively closed space, which can better protect the water level probe 7 and prevent it from being impacted by large-sized objects or hard objects in the water body. The water inlet pipe can ensure that the water in the water body can flow smoothly into the storage tank 131, so that the liquid level of the water body contacted by the water level probe 7 is consistent with the liquid level outside the protective seat 1. The axis of the water inlet pipe is perpendicular to the flow direction of the water body, which can reduce the probability of impurities in the water body entering the storage tank 131, and at the same time reduce the impact of more water entering the storage tank 131 due to the impact of the water flow, resulting in the water level in the storage tank 131 becoming higher, making the water body probe inaccurate detection, and can also reduce the impact of the impact pressure generated by the water body entering the storage tank 131 through the water inlet pipe on the detection results of the water level probe 7. The sand guide pipe can discharge the mud and sand deposited at the bottom of the storage tank 131 out of the storage tank 131 when the water flow is large, reducing the frequency of cleaning the storage tank 131. The trash rack 6 can prevent larger impurities in the water from entering the accommodating tank 131 through the sand guide pipe and the water inlet pipe.

[0057] The tail end of the curved pipe 42 is connected to the head end of the horizontal pipe 41, and the head end points obliquely downward to the bottom of the accommodating groove 131; the bending angle of the curved pipe 42 is greater than 90 degrees; the tail end of the curved pipe 42 is provided with water outlet holes 421 evenly distributed in a circle around its axis; the end face of the head end of the curved pipe 42 is horizontal.
[0058] The bend 42 can prevent the water from flowing obliquely or vertically into the water inlet pipe and causing an impact on the water level probe 7. At the same time, it can prevent hard objects or other large-sized impurities from directly hitting the water level probe 7 when the trash rack 6 is damaged. At the same time, the water outlet 421 can ensure that the water entering from the water inlet pipe can be quickly dispersed into the accommodating cavity.
[0059] In this embodiment, a bottom groove 132 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 131; the outline size of the bottom groove 132 is smaller than the bottom of the accommodating groove 131; a grate 133 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 131 to shield the bottom groove 132; the bottom groove 132 is connected to the inner cavity of the sand guide pipe.
[0060] The bottom trough 132 can settle sediment, and the grate 133 can reduce the disturbance of the water body above the grate 133 when the sand guide pipe is working, while preventing larger impurities from entering the branch pipe 52 and blocking the branch pipe 52.
