Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of forest fire prevention, specifically to a water volume monitoring device for forest fire prevention water storage ponds. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, my country faces a severe and arduous forest fire prevention situation, with tens of thousands of fires occurring annually, affecting tens of thousands of hectares. For forest fire prevention, the availability of nearby water sources to gain a favorable opportunity for firefighting and reduce fire losses has become particularly important. Therefore, multiple evenly distributed water storage ponds are often set up around forests. However, since the openings of these water storage ponds are generally large, a large amount of water evaporates during the dry season, causing the water level to drop below the standard value. The dry summer is also a high-incidence period for forest fires, so water monitoring devices are needed to detect the water level in the water storage ponds.
[0003] Existing forest fire prevention water storage tank monitoring devices typically rely on manual monitoring, which makes it impossible to know the water level in the tank in a timely manner. This can lead to situations where the water level in the tank does not meet the requirements, which can negatively impact forest fire fighting efforts and result in poor monitoring effectiveness.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a forest fire prevention water storage pond water volume monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

A monitoring component 8 is installed in the inner cavity of the water storage tank body 1 near the upper right side. The cleaning component 4 can clean the fallen leaves and other impurities on the top of the mesh screen 3 and the solar panel 6, while the monitoring component 8 monitors the water volume in the water storage tank body 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, the monitoring component 8 includes a float plate 81 located near the upper right of the inner cavity of the water storage tank body 1 and a movable rod 82 fixedly installed at the top center of the float plate 81. The upper end of the movable rod 82 slides through and extends into the inner cavity of the fixed groove 5, and a movable plate 83 is fixedly installed thereon. A fixed rod 84 is fixedly installed near the left side of the bottom of the movable plate 83. An insulating plate 85 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixed rod 84. A conductive block 86 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the insulating plate 85. A protective groove 87 is provided below the bottom of the conductive block 86. The bottom of the protective groove 87 is fixedly installed on the water storage tank body 1. Electrode plates 88 are fixedly installed near the front and rear sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the protective groove 87. The electrode plates 88 are electrically connected to the positive and negative poles of the battery 7, respectively. An alarm 89 is fixedly installed on the left side of the protective groove 87 to monitor the water level in the water storage tank body 1.

[0032] Example 2
[0033] This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1-5 and Figure 7 The cleaning component 4 includes a housing 41 fixedly installed on the left side of the water storage tank body 1 near the top, and a servo motor 42 fixedly installed on the rear side of the inner cavity of the housing 41. A threaded rod 43 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 42, and the front end of the threaded rod 43 is movably installed on the inner wall of the inner cavity of the housing 41. A threaded sleeve 44 is threadedly installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 43 near the front end. A special-shaped connecting rod 45 is fixedly installed on the right side of the threaded sleeve 44, and a moving opening is opened on the right side of the housing 41. The end of the special-shaped connecting rod 45 away from the threaded sleeve 44 passes through the inner cavity of the moving opening and is fixedly installed with a wiping plate A46. An L-shaped rod 47 is fixedly installed on the top of the wiping plate A46 near the right side, and a wiping plate B48 is fixedly installed on the right end of the L-shaped rod 47. This can drive the wiping plate A46 and the wiping plate B48 to move back and forth, thereby cleaning the fallen leaves and other impurities on the screen plate 3 and the solar panel 6, and improving the function of rainwater collection and solar energy utilization.
[0034] Specifically, a U-shaped rod 411 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the outer casing 41, and the end of the U-shaped rod 411 away from the outer casing 41 is fixedly installed on the water storage tank body 1, which serves to fix the outer casing 41.
[0035] Specifically, a sliding plate 441 is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the threaded sleeve 44, and a sliding rod 442 is slidably installed through the middle of the upper part of the sliding plate 441. The front and rear ends of the sliding rod 442 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner cavity of the outer shell 41, which plays a role in guiding and limiting the movement of the threaded sleeve 44.
[0036] Specifically, a square rod A461 is slidably installed on the wiping plate A46 near the right side. Vertical plates 462 are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the square rod A461, and the bottom of the vertical plates 462 are fixedly installed on the water storage tank body 1, which serves to guide the wiping plate A46 when it moves back and forth.
[0037] In this embodiment: During rainy days, rainwater flows through the mesh screen 3 into the water storage tank 1 for storage. Since there are many fallen leaves in the forest, they fall onto the mesh screen 3 and the solar panel 6, requiring regular cleaning. The servo motor 42 is started by the battery 7. When the servo motor 42 runs, it drives the threaded rod 43 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 43 drives the threaded sleeve 44 to move back and forth. The movement of the threaded sleeve 44, in turn, drives the wiping plate A46 to move back and forth via the irregular connecting rod 45. The movement of the wiping plate A46, in turn, drives the wiping plate B48 to move back and forth via the L-shaped rod 47. The back-and-forth movement of the wiping plates A46 and B48 effectively cleans the mesh screen 3 and the solar panel 6, removing fallen leaves and other impurities, thus improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the solar panel 6 absorbs light energy and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored in the battery 7 for power supply. The float 81 monitors the water level in the reservoir 1. The float 81 rises and falls with the water level. When the water level decreases, the float 81 moves downward under the action of the square rod B811. When the float 81 moves downward, it moves the moving plate 83 downward via the moving rod 82. When the moving plate 83 moves downward, it moves the insulating plate 85 downward via the fixed rod 84. When the insulating plate 85 moves downward, it moves the conductive block 86 downward. After moving downward a certain distance, the conductive block 86 contacts the electrode plate 88, thereby activating the power supply of the alarm 89. At this time, a signal is also transmitted to the remote terminal display screen. This system reminds staff to replenish water promptly to avoid hindering firefighting efforts. During rainy days, rainwater flows through the mesh screen 3 into the water storage tank 1. Since there are many fallen leaves in the forest, they will fall onto the mesh screen 3 and solar panels 6, requiring regular cleaning. The servo motor 42 is started by the battery 7. When the servo motor 42 runs, it drives the threaded rod 43 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 43 drives the threaded sleeve 44 to move back and forth. The movement of the threaded sleeve 44, in turn, drives the wiping plate A46 to move back and forth via the shaped connecting rod 45. The movement of the wiping plate A46, in turn, drives the wiping plate B48 to move back and forth via the L-shaped rod 47. The back-and-forth movement of the wiping plates A46 and B48 effectively cleans the mesh screen 3 and solar panels 6, removing fallen leaves and other debris, thus improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0039] The wiring diagrams of the solar panel 6, battery 7, and alarm 89 in this invention are common knowledge in the field and are mature existing technologies. Their working principles are known technologies, and the appropriate models are selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control methods and wiring arrangements will not be explained in detail here.
