Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sounding rods, in particular to a novel sounding rod. Background Art

[0002] The depth of the Yellow River has always been difficult to measure due to its high sediment content, rapid water flow, and large changes in water flow conditions. Most detection instruments and equipment remain at the traditional level. Traditional depth sounding rods are currently widely used, which are not only inefficient and have limited accuracy, but may even threaten the lives of monitoring personnel.

[0003] The main function of the sounding rod is to measure the depth of the water body and provide accurate water depth data. At the same time, the sounding rod can be used to draw a depth distribution map of the water area, help understand the topography and topographic changes of the water body, and provide a basis for planning waterways and port construction.

[0004] However, the currently widely used sounding rods can only be used in situations where the water flow is stable, the silt is less, and the bank geology is good, where observers can safely lower the rod vertically to measure the water depth. When the water flow is turbulent, there is a lot of silt, and the bank geology conditions are poor, the traditional sounding rod is directly tilted for measurement, and the results are inaccurate and unsafe. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of sounding rod that can both accurately measure and ensure safety. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The utility model provides a new depth sounding rod, including a fixing part, on which a spirit level is provided. The fixing part is fixedly connected to the ship pole through a plurality of rigid connectors, and the rigid connectors include two connecting units, which are connected by a ball joint. The lower end of the fixing part is provided with a depth sounding part.

[0007] Preferably, a hand-holding portion is provided at the upper end of the fixing portion.

[0008] Preferably, the rigid connector is connected to the boat pole via a retractable ring, and the retractable ring comprises an annular elastic sheet, and two semicircular ring sleeves are provided on the outside of the annular elastic sheet.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention proposes a new type of sounding rod, which is provided with a water weight, which increases the contact area between the sounding rod and the silt and reduces the depth of the sounding rod penetrating into the silt, thereby increasing the resistance of the contact surface, and can avoid the influence of silt or fine sand on the measured water depth, prevent the side depth rod from sinking, and improve the measurement accuracy; the bottom of the water weight of the device is provided with a pattern, which can increase the friction of the sounding rod and ensure the safety of the surveyor; the rod body of the device is composed of a fixed part and a sounding part, and a connecting rod is provided on the fixed part, which can improve the stability of the rod body and improve the sounding accuracy. The sounding part is composed of multiple detachable sounding units, which is convenient to carry; the device is made of high-strength and flexible materials, which can make the sounding rod adapt to different water flows and terrain conditions; the color of the scale line in the device is matched with the background color, which can improve the observation accuracy of the observer.

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a new depth sounding rod comprises a fixed portion 1, the sidewall of which is provided with a spirit level 2. The spirit level 2 is engraved with a black horizontal line and filled with red liquid. The verticality of the depth sounding rod can be determined by observing whether the red liquid is level with the black scale. A handle 12 is provided at the upper end of the fixed portion 1, which is covered with a non-slip cover.

[0019] Furthermore, the fixing part 1 is fixedly connected to the boat pole through two connecting rods 3, and the opposite ends of the two connecting rods 3 are connected by a fixing ring 4. The outer wall of the fixing part 1 is provided with an annular groove, and the fixing ring 4 is sleeved in the annular groove. The connecting rod 3 includes two connecting units, and the two connecting units are connected by a ball joint 5. The connecting rod 3 is connected to the boat pole through a retractable ring 6. The retractable ring 6 includes an annular elastic sheet, and the outside of the annular elastic sheet is provided with two semicircular ring sleeves. By controlling the expansion and contraction of the annular elastic sheet, the size of the retractable ring 6 can be controlled to be sleeved and fixed on the boat pole. The side depth rod can be fixed to the hull at different angles by the two connecting rods 3, thereby enhancing the stability of the rod body during depth measurement.

[0020] Furthermore, an upper sounding portion 7 is provided at the lower end of the fixed portion 1, and a lower sounding portion 8 is provided at the lower end of the upper sounding portion 7. Both the upper sounding portion 7 and the lower sounding portion 8 include several detachably connected sounding units, which can be fixed together as needed via latches 9. Parallel scale lines are provided on one side of each sounding unit to reduce errors in readings. The lower sounding portion 8 is a hollow structure with multiple water holes 10 provided therein to allow water to flow in, providing a certain wave-dissipating function.

[0021] Furthermore, a water roller 11 is provided at the lower end of the lower sounding part 8. The water roller 11 is made of a material with a large friction coefficient, light weight, and not easy to deform or fade. The bottom of the water roller 11 is provided with multiple crescent-shaped patterns.

[0022] Furthermore, in actual use, the side of the sounding rod adopts a dark blue background in the range of 0 to 1 meter scale lines, a dark green background in the range of 1 to 2 meters scale lines, and a dark red background in the range of 2 to 3 meters scale lines.

[0023] After assembling the sounding rod, adjust the sounding rod to make it horizontal. Due to the fixation of the connecting rod 3, the sounding rod can only move up and down but not horizontally. Adjust the sounding rod up and down to make it contact the riverbed. Since the sounding rod is installed with a water block 11 and the bottom of the water block 11 has a pattern, the contact area between the sounding rod and the silt is increased and the depth of the sounding rod penetrating into the silt is reduced, thereby increasing the resistance of the contact surface, avoiding the influence of silt on the measured water depth, and better resisting the impact of water and sand, thereby improving the measurement accuracy.

[0024] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent scheme made using the contents of the present invention specification, directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, is also within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
