[0033] Working principle: When using the device, the operator first places the float ring 1 on the surface of the water area to be measured. If it is a flowing water area, a rope can be tied to the buckle 6. Select the number of air bladders 2 to be inflated according to the required distance. In the connecting valve assembly 3 connecting the two air bladders 2, press the vent plate 34, and then inflate the air bladders 2 through the air pump 8. During inflation, the inflation tube 7 first fills the air bladder 2 connected to the float ring 1 with gas, and then transmits the gas to the other air bladders 2 through the air outlet 33. The continuously running air pump 8 inflates the air bladders 2, and the excess gas will be discharged from the vent groove 37 of the vent plate 34. At this time, the air bladders 2 push the float ring 1 to the surface of the water to be measured. Start the motor 5 to drive the drum 4. The connecting rope 12 is driven by the weight 11. The connecting rope 12 drives the roller 14. The number of rotations of the roller 14 is recorded by the rotation counter 13. After the measurement is completed, the above steps are reversed.
