Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, specifically to a water level buoy. Background Technology

[0002] Water conservancy projects are engineering projects built to control and regulate surface water and groundwater in nature to achieve the purpose of eliminating harm and promoting benefits. They are also called water projects. Excessive water level in the water conservancy project area can cause potential harm to the surrounding residents. Therefore, it is necessary to use water level buoys to monitor the water level in the water conservancy project area. However, existing buoys do not have self-regulating capabilities, so rising or falling water levels will affect the accuracy of the detection. Therefore, a new method is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A water level buoy includes a main body and a buoy mechanism. The main body includes a counterweight, a support on top of the counterweight, a float plate on top of the support, and an air pump on top of the float plate. A chain is provided at the bottom of the counterweight, and a float is installed on top of the counterweight. A light is installed on top of the float plate, and a photovoltaic panel is mounted on top of the light. An air pump is connected to an air inflation pipe at its bottom, and a fixing pipe is connected to the bottom of the air inflation pipe. An air bladder is sleeved inside the fixing pipe. The buoy mechanism includes a vertical plate fixedly installed on top of the float and a buoy inserted inside the vertical plate.

[0006] Preferably, a turntable is provided at the bottom of the counterweight, and the chain is wound around the turntable.

[0007] Preferably, the counterweight is equipped with a counter, which works in conjunction with the turntable.

[0008] Preferably, the number of floating plates is four sets, and the four sets of floating plates are arranged symmetrically.

[0009] Preferably, the number of lighting lamps is three, and the number of air pumps is one.

[0010] Preferably, the upright plate has a sliding groove inside, and the bottom end of the buoy is engaged in the sliding groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, a turntable is set up to wind the chain, and a counter can be used to calculate the number of rotations of the turntable. As a result, the float rises and the chain descends until the bottom of the chain touches the bottom of the water. At this point, the counter calculates the number of rotations of the turntable, and the water level can be easily calculated. In addition, a photovoltaic panel is set up to provide power so that the air pump can inflate the air bag, thereby increasing the buoyancy. This allows the device to adapt to different water areas and improves its practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.

[0020] The following describes, with reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention that provide a water level buoy.

[0021] Example:

[0022] Combination Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention provides a water level buoy, comprising a main body mechanism and a buoy mechanism. The main body mechanism includes a counterweight 110, a support 120 disposed on top of the counterweight 110, a float 130 mounted on top of the support 120, and an air pump 140 disposed on top of the float 130. A chain 111 is disposed at the bottom of the counterweight 110, and a float 112 is mounted on top of the counterweight 110. A turntable 113 is disposed at the bottom of the counterweight 110, and the chain 111 is wound around the turntable 113. A counter 114 is disposed inside the counterweight 110, and the counter 114 cooperates with the turntable 113. A buoy 140 is mounted on top of the float 130. There is a lighting lamp 131, and a photovoltaic panel 132 is mounted on the top of the lighting lamp 131. There are four sets of floats 130, which are symmetrically arranged. The bottom end of the air pump 140 is connected to the air pipe 141, and the bottom end of the air pipe 141 is connected to the fixing pipe 142. An airbag 143 is sleeved inside the fixing pipe 142. There are three lighting lamps 131 and one air pump 140. The buoy mechanism includes a vertical plate 210 fixedly installed on the top of the float 112 and a buoy 230 inserted inside the vertical plate 210. The vertical plate 210 has a sliding groove 220 inside, and the bottom end of the buoy 230 is engaged in the sliding groove 220.

[0023] Specifically, the turntable 113 is equipped with a self-recovering function by utilizing the spring inside the turntable 113. As the water level drops, the chain 111 automatically pulls up without manual operation, which improves the automation of the device. Furthermore, due to the presence of the spring, the chain 111 will not drop after it touches the bottom of the water, ensuring the accuracy of the counting and improving the practicality of the device.

[0024] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the device is dropped into the water. The chain 111 is used to pull the device down, while the float 130 provides buoyancy, causing the device to rise until the bottom of the chain 111 touches the bottom of the water. At the same time, the float 130 floats to the surface of the water, achieving a balanced state.

[0025] When the float 130 sinks, it indicates that the buoyancy is insufficient. At this time, the air pump 140 inflates the air bag 143 to increase the buoyancy and ensure buoyancy. Finally, the device can be inspected and maintained at regular intervals.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
