Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrological engineering, in particular to a water level monitoring device for hydrological engineering. Background Art

[0002] Hydrological engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the dynamic behavior of water bodies, the utilization and management of water resources. Hydrological engineering techniques include hydrographic surveying, hydrological data analysis, the development and application of hydrological models, hydrological statistical analysis, and hydrological remote sensing. In short, the goal of hydrological engineering is to rationally utilize water resources, resolve hydrological problems, provide a reliable water supply, and implement disaster prevention and mitigation measures to promote sustainable social and economic development. In hydrological engineering, water level monitoring devices are used to measure and monitor changes in water levels. They provide real-time data on water levels, helping people understand hydrological characteristics, water resource management, and hydrological status assessments. Water level monitoring devices can provide accurate water level data, helping hydrological engineers understand information such as water content, water level changes, and water flow, providing a critical data foundation for hydrological engineering and water resource management.

[0003] Existing water level monitoring devices for hydrological projects are often powered by solar panels when in use. However, in actual applications, the solar panels are fixed on the water level monitoring devices in one direction. When the sun moves to the direction away from the solar panels, the lighting efficiency of the solar panels is reduced, which makes it inconvenient to provide long-term power supply to the water level monitoring devices. In addition, when adjusting the height of the water level monitoring devices, it is often done through fixing rings and bolts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thereby reducing the monitoring efficiency of the water level monitoring devices for hydrological projects.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN219714487U discloses a water level monitoring device, including a base plate and an adjustment mechanism; the top of the base plate is fixedly connected to a support column; the adjustment mechanism is arranged on one side of the support column, and the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed box, a motor, a screw, a movable plate, a fixed plate and a water level radar.

[0005] The water level monitoring device has the following disadvantages: although the screw is driven to rotate by the provided motor, the movable plate, the fixed plate and the fixed frame can be driven to move by the screw, which facilitates the adjustment of the horizontal position of the water level radar. However, in actual application, the solar panels are fixed on the water level monitoring device in one direction. When the sun moves to the direction away from the solar panels, the lighting efficiency of the solar panels will be reduced, which is not convenient for long-term power supply to the water level monitoring device. In addition, when adjusting the height of the water level monitoring device, it is often adjusted by fixing rings and bolts, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, thereby reducing the monitoring efficiency of the water level monitoring device used in hydrological projects.

[0006] Currently, no effective solutions have been proposed for the problems in related technologies. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the problems in the related art, the present invention proposes a water level monitoring device for hydrological engineering to overcome the above technical problems existing in the existing related art.

[0008] To this end, the specific technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0010] Furthermore, in order to enable the solar panel to adjust its direction following the movement of the sun under the action of the adjustment component, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel, ensuring continuous power supply, and thereby improving the working efficiency of the water level monitoring device for the hydrological project, the adjustment component includes a fixing frame symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the top circumference of the support rod, a circular ring is arranged at the top of the fixing frame, a shell is arranged at the top of the circular ring, a servo motor is arranged at the top inner top of the shell, a gear is arranged at the bottom end of the servo motor, a mounting seat is arranged at the top of the shell, a connecting block is connected to the inside of the mounting seat, and the top of the connecting block is connected to the bottom of the solar panel, an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the ring, and a tooth groove meshing with the gear is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to be able to adjust the height of the water level monitoring device for hydrological projects according to the height required for water level monitoring under the action of the fixing component, time-consuming and labor-intensive adjustment through fixing rings and bolts is avoided, thereby improving the flexibility of the water level monitoring device for hydrological projects and making it more widely applicable, the fixing component includes a mounting member sleeved on the outer circular side wall of the support rod, a groove is provided on one side of the mounting member, a rotating shaft is provided inside the groove, and a connecting shaft is eccentrically provided at the top and bottom ends of the rotating shaft and passes through the side wall of the groove, a connecting plate is provided on the outer circular side wall of the connecting shaft, a through hole is provided on one side of the groove that matches the rotating shaft, through holes are symmetrically provided on one side of the mounting member and at the top and bottom of the through hole, a fixing block is provided on one side of the mounting member, and the fixing block matches the pressure groove, a connecting block matching the side wall of the rotating shaft is provided in the middle of one side of the fixing block, and limiting columns matching the through hole are provided at both ends of one side of the fixing block, a spring is provided on one side of the limiting column, and the side of the spring away from the limiting column is connected to the inner wall of the through hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] 1. The utility model has a reasonable and reliable structure and is easy to operate. Under the action of the adjusting component, the solar panel can adjust its direction following the movement of the sun, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel and ensuring continuous power supply, thereby improving the working efficiency of the water level monitoring device for hydrological projects.

Under the action of the connecting block, the solar panel is driven to adjust the angle, so that the solar panel can always face the sun according to the direction of the sun. When the angle of the solar panel is adjusted to face the sun, the photoreceptor is exposed to direct sunlight and the circuit is disconnected, causing the servo motor to stop working, so that the position of the solar panel can be adjusted in real time according to the position of the sun, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel and ensuring continuous power supply, thereby improving the working efficiency of the water level monitoring device of the hydrological project.

Under the action of the movement of the mounting part, the fixing plate and the radar water level meter are driven to move up and down, avoiding time-consuming and labor-intensive adjustments through fixing rings and bolts, thereby improving the flexibility of the water level monitoring device for hydrological projects and making it more applicable.

[0028] To further illustrate each embodiment, the present invention provides drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments. They can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these contents, ordinary technicians in this field should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a water level monitoring device for a hydrological project is provided.

[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figures 1-9 As shown, the water level monitoring device for hydrological engineering according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a fixing seat 1, a support rod 2 is provided at the top of the fixing seat 1, an adjusting component 3 is provided on the top circumferential outer wall of the support rod 2, and a solar panel 4 is provided on the top of the adjusting component 3. In specific applications, a photoreceptor is provided on one side of the solar panel 4, and the photoreceptor and the solar panel 4 are arranged in parallel, which is not shown in the figure. A fixing component 5 is provided on the middle circumferential outer wall of the support rod 2, a fixing plate 6 is provided on one side of the fixing component 5, and a radar water level meter 7 is connected to the bottom of one side of the fixing plate 6, and a distribution box 8 is provided at the bottom of the other side of the support rod 2. In specific applications, a charge and discharge controller and a battery are provided inside the distribution box 8, which is not shown in the figure. A pressing groove 9 that cooperates with the fixing component 5 is provided on the other side of the support rod 2.

[0031] It needs to be explained that the radar water level meter 7 is a common water level monitoring structure in the prior art. Radar pulses are emitted from the radar water level sensor antenna, and the antenna receives the pulses reflected from the water surface and records the time. Due to the propagation of electromagnetic waves, the speed is a constant, so the distance to the water surface can be obtained, which is convenient for monitoring the water level. The working principle and structure of the radar water level meter 7 are all prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Furthermore, in actual use, the primary function of the solar panel 4 is to convert sunlight into electrical energy, typically outputting direct current (DC). This electrical energy is transmitted via wires to a charge-discharge controller, which controls the flow of electrical energy and protects the battery from overcharging or over-discharging. The controller connects the solar panel 4 and the battery, ensuring that the battery is charged at a safe voltage and current. The wires exiting the charge-discharge controller are connected to the battery, which stores electrical energy for use when there is no sunlight or when electricity demand exceeds the capacity of the solar panel 4. The stored electrical energy is distributed to the servo motor 304, radar water level gauge 7, and photoreceptor via a distribution box 8. The operating principles and structures of the solar panel 4, radar water level gauge 7, servo motor 304, battery, charge-discharge controller, distribution box 8, and photoreceptor are all prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0033] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned adjustment component 3, the adjustment component 3 includes a fixing frame 301 symmetrically arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the top of the support rod 2, a circular ring 302 is arranged on the top of the fixing frame 301, a shell 303 is arranged on the top of the circular ring 302, a servo motor 304 is arranged on the top of the inner top of the shell 303, a gear 305 is arranged on the bottom end of the servo motor 304, a mounting seat 306 is arranged on the top of the shell 303, a connecting block 307 is connected to the inside of the mounting seat 306, and the top of the connecting block 307 is connected to the bottom of the solar panel 4, an annular groove 308 is provided on the inner wall of the circular ring 302, and a tooth groove 309 meshing with the gear 305 is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 308, so that under the action of the adjustment component 3, the solar panel 4 can adjust its direction following the movement of the sun, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel 4, ensuring continuous power supply, and thereby improving the working efficiency of the water level monitoring device for the hydrological project.

[0034] The specific working principle of the adjustment component 3 is as follows: when the solar panel 4 is directly exposed to the sun, the photoreceptor will automatically control the opening and closing of the servo motor 304 circuit. When the photoreceptor is not directly exposed to the sun, the circuit of the servo motor 304 is connected, and the output shaft of the servo motor 304 drives the gear 305 to rotate. Under the cooperation of the gear 305 and the tooth groove 309, the shell 303 is driven to perform a circular motion on the ring 302. Under the action of the shell 303, the connecting block 307 is driven to move. Under the action of the connecting block 307, the solar panel 4 is driven to adjust the angle so that the solar panel 4 can always face the sun according to the direction of the sun. When the angle of the solar panel 4 is adjusted to face the sun, the photoreceptor is directly exposed to the sun and the circuit is disconnected, causing the servo motor 304 to stop working, so that the position of the solar panel 4 can be adjusted in real time according to the position of the sun, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel 4 and ensuring continuous power supply, thereby improving the working efficiency of the water level monitoring device for the hydrological project.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned fixing component 5, the fixing component 5 includes a mounting member 501 sleeved on the outer circular side wall of the support rod 2, a groove 502 is provided on one side of the mounting member 501, a rotating shaft 503 is provided inside the groove 502, and a connecting shaft 504 that passes through the side wall of the groove 502 is eccentrically provided at the top and bottom ends of the rotating shaft 503, a connecting plate 505 is provided on the outer circular side wall of the connecting shaft 504, a through hole 506 that matches the rotating shaft 503 is provided on one side of the interior of the groove 502, through holes 507 are symmetrically provided on one side of the interior of the mounting member 501 and located at the top and bottom of the through hole 506, and a fixing block 50 is provided on one side of the interior of the mounting member 501 8, and the fixed block 508 cooperates with the pressing groove 9, a connecting block 509 is provided in the middle of one side of the fixed block 508 and cooperates with the side wall of the rotating shaft 503, and both ends of one side of the fixed block 508 are provided with limiting columns 510 that cooperate with the through hole 507, a spring 511 is provided on one side of the limiting column 510, and the side of the spring 511 away from the limiting column 510 is connected to the inner wall of the through hole 507, so that under the action of the fixing component 5, the water level monitoring device for hydrological engineering can be height-adjusted according to the height required for water level monitoring, avoiding time-consuming and labor-intensive adjustment through fixing rings and bolts, thereby improving the flexibility of the water level monitoring device for hydrological engineering and making it more applicable.

[0036] The specific working principle of the fixing assembly 5 is as follows: when the monitoring height of the radar water level gauge 7 needs to be adjusted, one end of the connecting plate 505 is screwed, and under the action of the connecting shaft 504, the connecting plate 505 drives the rotating shaft 503 to rotate, and under the action of the eccentrically set connecting shaft 504, when the outer cylindrical side wall of the rotating shaft 503 no longer conflicts with the connecting block 509, under the action of the spring 511, the fixing block 508 is driven to move toward the rotating shaft 503, so that the fixing block 508 no longer conflicts with the pressure groove 9, and then the mounting part 501 can be moved up and down. Under the action of the movement of the mounting part 501, the fixing plate 6 and the radar water level gauge 7 are driven to move up and down, avoiding time-consuming and labor-intensive adjustments through fixing rings and bolts, thereby improving the flexibility of the water level monitoring device for hydrological projects and making it more applicable.

[0037] In order to facilitate understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in actual process is described in detail below.

[0038] In actual application, first, the fixing base 1 is installed near the monitoring area by bolts, and then the radar water level meter 7 is adjusted to the required height through the fixing component 5. At this time, the solar panel 4 supplies power to the distribution box 8, and the distribution box 8 provides the electricity required for the water level monitoring device of the hydrological project. When the sun moves, the lighting angle of the solar panel 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the component 3, thereby maximizing the lighting efficiency of the solar panel 4 and ensuring continuous power supply.
