It optimizes the cable car design in both hardware and software, featuring lightweight hardware, a rational structural layout, stable performance, high efficiency, a simple power transmission structure, neat cable routing, smooth lifting, and good safety performance. The cable car is made of high-quality materials, requiring no daily maintenance, and meets the space requirements for measurement and expansion installation of new instruments. The software is easy to operate; remote automatic measurement can be achieved using a lead weight, and non-contact automatic measurement can be achieved by incorporating a radar current meter. It can also perform information processing of hydrological elements, realizing unmanned measurement by the cable car, which aligns with the new requirements and directions of current hydrological development.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219532058U discloses a hydrological cableway compound flow measurement device, including a hydrological cable, a movable wheel movably connected to the surface of the hydrological cable, and a plug pipe movably connected to one side of the movable wheel; in the event of severe weather such as rain and hail, the protective lifting device needs to be moved downward. When the protective lifting device moves downward, it will drive the adjusting ring, causing the adjusting ring to move on the fixed pipe until the inner top wall of the protective lifting cover is in contact with the top of the hydrological flow meter, thus protecting the hydrological flow meter.
[0004] While the aforementioned application documents can reduce the extent of damage caused by severe weather, traditional flow measuring devices are suspended above the river, and the steel wire rope is easily corroded by river water vapor over a long period of time, which can lead to poor sliding of the flow measuring device and make it inconvenient to maintain the steel wire rope.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides the following technical solution: an automatic flow measurement cable car, including base stations set on both riverbanks, with load-bearing cables 1 set on both sides between the two base stations; a cable car body 2, with several pulleys 3 rotatably connected to the top of the cable car body 2, the pulleys 3 being adapted to and slidably set on the load-bearing cables 1; in some implementations, four pulleys 3 are provided, and the four pulleys 3 are respectively set at the four corners of the cable car body 2.
[0027] The cable car cabin 2 is made of stainless steel frame, which gives the cable car cabin 2 good corrosion resistance, heat resistance, low temperature strength and mechanical properties.
[0028] It also includes a cyclic drive device for driving the cable car box 2 to reciprocate on the load-bearing cable 1. The cyclic drive device includes a drive sprocket installed on the base station. One of the drive sprockets is driven to rotate by a drive motor. The two drive sprockets at both ends are connected by a drive chain. The drive chain is fixedly connected to one side of the cable car box 2. Through the drive motor, the pulley 3 on the cable car box 2 can be driven to reciprocate along the load-bearing cable 1 during the reciprocating motion of the drive chain, so that the cable car box 2 can reach different flow measurement positions to monitor hydrological information.
[0029] It also includes a lead fish monitoring device 9, which is located below the cable car cabin 2. The lead fish monitoring device 9 is driven by a lifting device installed inside the cable car cabin 2 to raise and lower the lead fish monitoring device 9. The height of the lead fish monitoring device 9 can be adjusted through the lifting device, so that the lead fish monitoring device 9 can better monitor hydrological information.
[0030] The cable maintenance mechanism installed on the cable car body 2 includes an oil storage tank 4. Oiling sleeves 5 are fitted onto the cable 1 on both sides of the oil storage tank 4. Brushes 6 and oil nozzles 7 are installed on the inner wall of the oiling sleeves 5. The oil nozzles 7 are connected to the oil storage tank 4 via an oil supply assembly 8. Through this cable maintenance mechanism, as the cable car body 2 reciprocates on the cable 1, the oil nozzles 7 and brushes 6 work together to oil the cable 1. This prevents the cable 1 from being exposed above the river for extended periods and rusting due to moisture corrosion, which could cause the pulleys 3 to become difficult to move on the cable 1. It also facilitates the maintenance of the cable 1.
[0031] The oiling sleeve 5 includes a lower ring cover 51 and an upper ring cover 52 movably disposed above the lower ring cover 51. The lower ring cover 51 is fixedly disposed on the oil storage tank 4 by a connecting bracket. The lower ring cover 51 and the upper ring cover 52 are disposed on the outside of the load-bearing cable 1 by a clamp. The two sides of the lower ring cover 51 and the upper ring cover 52 are connected by bolts. Through the upper ring cover 52 and the lower ring cover 51, the oiling sleeve 5 can be easily disassembled and installed on the load-bearing cable 1 to disassemble and replace the brush 6 and the oil nozzle 7.
[0032] Both the upper ring cover 52 and the lower ring cover 51 are equipped with brushes 6 on their inner walls. The inner wall of the upper ring cover 52 is circumferentially distributed with several oil nozzles 7. In some implementations, the inner wall of the upper ring cover 52 is divided into a central area and end areas set at both ends of the central area. The oil nozzles 7 on the upper ring cover 52 are circumferentially distributed in the central area, which can better enable the maintenance oil to be maintained with the load-bearing cable 1. Moreover, the brushes 6 in the end areas prevent the maintenance oil from directly sliding down the load-bearing cable 1 and affecting the maintenance effect on the load-bearing cable 1.
[0033] The oil supply assembly 8 includes an oil supply pump 81 fixedly mounted on the oil storage tank 4. The oil inlet end of the oil supply pump 81 extends into the interior of the oil storage tank 4, and the oil outlet end of the oil supply pump 81 is connected to an oil three-way valve 82. The first and second output ends of the three-way valve 82 are both connected to oil supply pipes 83. Several branch pipes 84 fixedly mounted on the upper ring cover 52 are connected to the oil supply pipes 83. The oil nozzle 7 is connected to the branch pipes 84. Through the oil supply pump 81, the three-way valve 82, and the oil supply pipes 83, the branch pipes 84 on each upper ring cover 52 can be supplied with maintenance oil, which can better enable the oil nozzle 7 to maintain the load-bearing cable 1.
[0034] A liquid level observation window 10 is provided on the oil storage tank 4, which makes it easy to observe the liquid level of the maintenance oil in the oil storage tank 4.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the drive motor is started through the control system, so that the cable car box 2 slides back and forth on the load-bearing cable 1. At the same time as the cable car box 2 slides, the lead fish monitoring device 9 monitors the hydrological information and transmits the monitored information to the remote control terminal.
[0036] While the cable car body 2 is moving, the oil supply pump 81 is started, so that the maintenance oil in the oil storage tank 4 enters the oil nozzle 7 through the oil supply pipe 83 and the branch pipe 84 respectively, so that the oil nozzle 7 sprays oil onto the load-bearing cable 1. At the same time, under the action of the brush 6, the maintenance oil is evenly brushed on the surface of the load-bearing cable 1, and the maintenance oil is prevented from directly sliding down the load-bearing cable 1.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
