Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrological rulers, and more particularly to a hydrological ruler. Background Art

[0002] Hydrology refers to various phenomena such as the changes and movements of water in nature. Hydrological monitoring departments often set up hydrological monitoring rulers on dams or by the water. Hydrological rulers are commonly found in rivers, ponds, etc. and are commonly used water level measuring tools. They are made of metal or non-metallic materials and are marked with scales. The accuracy is generally calculated in centimeters so that the values ​​can be read at any time. Generally, rulers are painted with materials such as cement and mortar, and then the digital scales are printed on the surface with paint.

[0003] However, since the hydrographic ruler of this structure is immersed in water for a long time, it is easy to cause the numbers and scales on its surface to become unclear due to the long-term erosion of the water flow. If it is directly replaced, the cost of using the device will increase and it is not convenient for long-term use.

[0004] In addition, the existing hydrological gauge has a relatively simple structure and can only measure the water level, but does not have an alarm function. Therefore, the device has certain limitations when used, thereby narrowing its scope of use. Utility Model Content
