Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flood control equipment technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent rain boot that automatically measures the depth of accumulated water during flood control. Background Technology

[0002] Flood control refers to measures taken during periods of high river water levels to prevent flooding and ensure the safety of protected areas. Flood control often requires long-term, medium-term, and short-term water level forecasts to facilitate the scientific scheduling and utilization of flood control projects such as dikes, reservoirs, sluices, flood storage areas, and drainage systems, ensuring their safe and effective operation. Therefore, knowing the water depth in different areas of a city is particularly important. Due to variations in terrain and drainage capacity, water depths often differ across urban areas. Furthermore, blockages in drainage systems can lead to significant flooding. Traditionally, water levels are reported layer by layer by different regional authorities, allowing higher-level departments to coordinate rescue and relief efforts. However, manual reporting lacks the objectivity of quantified data, and water conditions can change rapidly due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. This can result in uneven distribution of rescue and relief resources, with some resources concentrating in less affected areas while severely affected areas suffer greater losses due to delayed response – a situation detrimental to both the government and the public. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an intelligent rain boot that automatically measures the depth of water accumulation during flood control. It can detect the water level in different areas of the city in real time through the movement of flood control personnel, which facilitates the government's flood control work.

[0004] This utility model provides an intelligent rain boot for automatically measuring water depth during flood prevention, including a boot body, an electronic water level gauge, a waterproof shell, and a control circuit board; the electronic water level gauge is vertically mounted on the outer side wall of the boot body; the waterproof shell is sealed and fixed to the outer side wall of the boot body, and the control circuit board is fixedly mounted inside the waterproof shell. The control circuit board integrates a power module for powering the electronic water level gauge and a wireless communication module for communicating with external intelligent devices. The control circuit board is electrically connected to the electronic water level gauge.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: the waterproof shell is sealed and fixed to the outer wall of the boot without affecting wear; when in use, flood control personnel wear the rain boots to walk in different areas of the city, sense the water depth through the electronic water gauge on the boot, and communicate with the flood control personnel's smartphone through the wireless communication module to upload the data, thus obtaining objective quantitative data. When the water depth exceeds the height of the boot, flood control personnel can select and mark the area as the most severely flooded area according to the size of the water area, which facilitates the government's flood control work and the allocation of disaster relief resources.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the lower end of the electronic water gauge extends to the junction of the boot sole and the boot body, and the upper end extends to the boot opening.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the lower end of the electronic water gauge using the above technical solution can avoid damage during walking, and the upper end extends to the boot opening to measure water depth to the greatest extent.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the waterproof shell is disposed on the upper side of the outer side wall of the boot.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution allows the waterproof shell to be positioned as high as possible, which can minimize the risk of damage to the waterproof shell from unidentified objects in the water.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a wiring area is provided on the inner wall of the boot body located on the waterproof shell side, the wiring area being used for the passage of the lines connecting the control circuit board and the electronic water gauge.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution, which places the wiring inside the boot, can avoid short circuits caused by contact with water.

[0012] In one possible implementation, an anti-friction pad is provided on the wiring area, and the anti-friction pad covers the wiring.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution can prevent the friction between the legs and the wiring during walking, which would cause the wiring to peel and affect its lifespan.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a charging port for charging the power module is also provided on the inner wall of the boot body located on the waterproof shell side, and the charging port is electrically connected to the control circuit board.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solution can be used to charge the power module, making it easy to use repeatedly.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the electronic water gauge is a capacitive flexible electronic water gauge.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution can effectively adapt to the deformation caused by the movement of the boot. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3As shown, this embodiment discloses an intelligent rain boot that automatically measures the depth of accumulated water during flood prevention. It includes a boot body 1, an electronic water level gauge 2, a waterproof shell 3, and a control circuit board 4. The electronic water level gauge 2 is vertically mounted on the outer side wall of the boot body 1. The waterproof shell 3 is sealed and fixed to the outer side wall of the boot body 1. The control circuit board 4 is fixedly mounted inside the waterproof shell 3. The control circuit board 4 integrates a power module 41 for powering the electronic water level gauge 2 and a wireless communication module 42 for communicating with external intelligent devices. The control circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the electronic water level gauge 2.

[0028] Specifically, the electronic water level gauge 2 can be vertically fixed to the outer wall of the boot body 1 by adhesive. In this embodiment, the electronic water level gauge 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the boot body 1 outside the ankle. The waterproof shell 3 is made of plastic, which makes it lighter. The waterproof shell 3 can also be sealed and fixed to the outer wall of the boot body 1 outside the ankle by adhesive, so as not to affect wearing. The wireless communication module 42 is a Bluetooth module. In use, flood control personnel wear the rain boots and walk in different areas of the city. The electronic water level gauge 2 on the boot body 1 senses the water depth and communicates with the flood control personnel's smartphone through the wireless communication module 42 to upload the data. This can obtain objective quantitative data. When the water depth exceeds the height of the boot body 1, it indicates that the water depth is relatively deep. In order to ensure the safety of flood control personnel, they can use other existing measurement methods to measure the water depth. Then, based on the size of the water area, they can select and mark the area as a severely flooded area, which facilitates the government's flood control work and the allocation of disaster relief resources.

[0029] As attached Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the lower end of the electronic water gauge 2 extends to the junction of the boot sole and the boot body, and the upper end extends to the boot opening. This avoids damage to the electronic water gauge 2 during walking, while maximizing the amount of water depth that can be measured.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, the waterproof shell 3 is disposed on the upper side of the outer wall of the boot body 1. This can minimize the risk of the waterproof shell 3 breaking due to collisions with unidentified objects in the water, thereby preventing water ingress and damage to the control circuit board 4.

[0031] As attached Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, a wiring area 11 is provided on the inner wall of the boot body 1 on one side of the waterproof shell 3. The wiring area 11 is used for the passage of the line 100 for electrical connection between the control circuit board 4 and the electronic water gauge 2. (See attached image) Figure 2 The dotted area in the diagram is the wiring area 11, so that the wiring 100 can be routed inside the boot body 1, avoiding contact with water and causing a short circuit.

[0032] As attached Figure 2As shown, in some preferred embodiments, an anti-friction pad 111 is provided on the wiring area 11, and the anti-friction pad 111 covers the wiring 100. In this embodiment, the attached... Figure 2 The dotted area in the diagram is the anti-friction pad 111, which covers the wiring area 11 and thus the wiring 100. This can prevent the wiring 100 from rubbing against the leg for too long, which could cause peeling and affect its lifespan.

[0033] As attached Figure 2 As shown, in some preferred embodiments, a charging port 12 for charging the power module 41 is also provided on the inner wall of the boot body 1 located on the side of the waterproof shell 3. The charging port 12 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 4. This facilitates charging the power module 41 for repeated use.

[0034] In some preferred embodiments, the electronic water level gauge 2 is a capacitive flexible electronic water level gauge. It adapts to the deformation of the boot 1 during walking. The capacitive flexible electronic water level gauge can be the TH-SC24 model, which uses a flexible material as the gauge body, allowing it to be bent and rolled, making it suitable for various harsh environments.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer" and other terms indicating direction or positional relationship are based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0036] In the description of this application, the references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "in this embodiment," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this application.
