A cleaning head for cleaning the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3 is connected to the mounting plate 41 via a connecting frame. The liquid supply rack and the rotating device 43 are connected by a transmission. When cleaning the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3, the rotating device 43 can drive the connecting frame to rotate, and the cleaning head can rub the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3 to achieve the cleaning work.

[0030] Preferably, the connecting frame in this embodiment includes:

[0031] A hollow rotating rod 42 movably passes through the mounting plate 41 and the transverse column 2 and is connected to the output end of the rotating device 43 via a gear set 49. A bearing is provided at the connection point between the hollow rotating rod 42 and the mounting plate 41 and the transverse column 2. Its top end is hollow. The gear set 49 consists of two meshing gears. The top end of the hollow rotating rod 42 is connected to a liquid supply component via a rotary joint 410 and a liquid supply pipeline. Liquid is input into the hollow rotating rod 42 through the liquid supply component, the liquid supply pipeline, and the rotary joint 410.

[0032] The guide shell 44 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the hollow rotating rod 42, and the guide shell 44 and the hollow rotating rod 42 are connected through a liquid inlet. A hollow connecting rod 45 is inserted into one side of the guide shell 44. The liquid entering the hollow rotating rod 42 then enters the guide shell 44 and the hollow connecting rod 45 through the liquid inlet.

[0033] Preferably, the cleaning head of this embodiment includes a hollow base 46, with a connecting rod inserted at its bottom. The bottom end of the connecting rod movably passes through the hollow connecting rod 45 and communicates with the inner cavity of the hollow connecting rod 45. A bearing is provided at the connection between the connecting rod and the hollow connecting rod 45. A sponge is provided at the top of the hollow base 46 for contacting the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3. A seepage hole 47 for wetting the sponge is also provided at the top of the hollow base 46.

[0034] When cleaning the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3, liquid is introduced into the hollow rotating rod 42 through the liquid supply component, liquid supply pipeline and rotary joint 410. The liquid then enters the guide shell 44, hollow connecting rod 45 and hollow seat 46, and finally seeps out from the seepage hole 47 to wet the sponge component, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the sponge component on the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3.

[0035] Preferably, in this embodiment, the guide housing 44 is rotatably provided with an impeller (not shown in the figure) driven to rotate by the liquid entering through the liquid inlet. The shaft of the impeller passes through the guide housing 44 and is connected to the connecting rod through a sprocket drive assembly 48. The sprocket drive assembly 48 includes a sprocket and a chain. When the liquid flows, it also drives the impeller. In turn, the impeller drives the connecting rod through the sprocket drive assembly 48 to drive the hollow seat 46 to rotate. In use, the hollow rotating rod 42 is driven to rotate by the rotating device 43 so that the hollow seat 46 corresponds to the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3. When not in use, the hollow rotating rod 42 can be driven to rotate by the rotating device 43 so that the hollow seat 46 is misaligned with the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3.

[0036] Preferably, the liquid supply component in this embodiment includes:

[0037] A liquid storage tank 412 is mounted on the mounting support 1. A pump body 411 is mounted on the liquid storage tank 412. The input end of the pump body 411 is connected to the liquid storage tank 412 through a pipeline, and its output end is connected to the liquid supply pipeline; and,

[0038] A liquid collecting hopper 413 is located on top of the liquid storage shell 412 and communicates with the liquid storage shell 412. A filter screen is provided inside the liquid collecting hopper 413.

[0040] Preferably, the apparatus of this embodiment further includes:

[0041] The support frame 414 is mounted on the transverse column 2. A protective sleeve 415 is inserted on the support frame 414 for sleeved on the outside of the cleaning head. The inner diameter of the protective sleeve 415 is larger than the diameter of the hollow seat 46. It is offset from the ultrasonic level gauge 3. When it is not necessary to clean the transmitting end of the ultrasonic level gauge 3, the hollow rotating rod 42 can be rotated by the rotating device 43 so that the hollow seat 46 corresponds to the protective sleeve 415. When they correspond, the hollow seat 46 is located below the protective sleeve 415.

[0042] The protective sleeve 415 is connected to the transverse column 2 via an elastic element 417, such as a spring; an electromagnetic block is provided on the support frame 414; and,

[0043] The magnetic component 416 is sleeved on the outer wall of the protective sleeve 415 and corresponds to the electromagnetic block. When the electromagnetic block is energized, it drives the protective sleeve 415 to move downward, so that the protective sleeve 415 is sleeved on the outside of the cleaning head. After the hollow seat 46 is aligned with the protective sleeve 415, the electromagnetic block is opened. The electromagnetic block is energized and attracts the magnetic component 416, causing the protective sleeve 415 to move downward, and then the protective sleeve 415 is sleeved on the outside of the hollow seat 46. The protective sleeve 415 can prevent the seepage hole 47 from being blocked or the sponge component from being damaged when not in use, thus extending the service life of the cleaning head.

[0044] Preferably, the mounting support 1 in this embodiment is also equipped with a photovoltaic module, a controller, and a wireless communication module. The photovoltaic module, controller, and wireless communication module are all conventional devices in the art. The photovoltaic module is used to provide power to the electrical appliances in this device, the controller is used to control the electrical appliances in this device, and the wireless communication module is used to wirelessly connect the controller, the ultrasonic level gauge 3, and an external monitoring terminal. This facilitates the transmission of the river water level data monitored by the ultrasonic level gauge 3 to the external monitoring terminal, and also facilitates the reception of control signals sent by the external monitoring terminal so that the controller can control the corresponding electrical appliances to work.

[0045] Preferably, the ultrasonic level gauge 3 model in this embodiment is, for example, an integrated ultrasonic level gauge of model JY-DP; the controller is, for example, a Siemens Smart-200 PLC; and the wireless communication module is, for example, FBOX-4G.
