[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figures 1-2As shown, a karst tunnel water gushing measuring device is provided, and the core working principle is that a water collecting cover completely covers the water gushing point on the tunnel wall and collects water flow, and guides the water flow to a water collecting bin with replaceable different weir plates (triangular weir or rectangular weir). The height of the water overflowing on the specific weir plate is measured, and the weir flow calculation formula is used to accurately calculate the water gushing amount. The device includes a water collecting cover 1, the water collecting cover 1 is a hollow structure, the water collecting cover completely covers the water gushing point on the tunnel wall, axial holes are formed at four corners of the water collecting cover 1, a fastener 8 is inserted into each axial hole, the fastener 8 is inserted into the cavity wall around the water gushing point through the axial hole, a drain pipe joint 3 is installed at the drainage end of the water collecting cover 1, a drain hose 4 is connected to the drain pipe joint 3, the drain hose 4 is used to guide the collected water to the water collecting bin in the measuring area, one end of the drain hose 4 is provided with the water collecting bin 5, the drain hose 4 is used for intercommunication between the water collecting cover 1 and the water collecting bin 5, a weir baffle for drainage is detachably connected to the side surface of the water collecting bin 5, the weir baffle is a right-angled triangular weir baffle 6 or a rectangular weir baffle 7, the replaceable triangular weir baffle (suitable for small flow) and the rectangular weir baffle (suitable for large flow) can cover a very wide flow measurement range;
[0022] 1. Right-angled triangular weir flow calculation formula:
[0023]
[0024] In the formula, Q is the flow, the unit is m3 / s; H is the water head height above the weir, the unit is m;
[0025] 2. Rectangular weir flow calculation formula:
[0026]
[0027]
[0028] In the formula, Q is the flow, the unit is m3 / s;
[0029] b is the weir width, the unit is m;
[0030] h is the water head above the weir, the unit is m;
[0031] p is the distance from the weir top plate to the weir top, the unit is m.
[0032] As shown, Figure 2As shown, the connection between the water collecting cover 1 and the drain hose 4 is provided with a drain pipe joint 3, which is threadedly sealed to avoid the possibility of water leakage at the root position of the water collecting cover. The drain pipe joint 3 is a reducing straight pipe joint, and is fixedly connected with the water collecting cover 1. The drain pipe joint 3 is connected with the drain hose 4 through a clamp. The drain hose is sleeved on the outer end of the drain pipe joint, and then a clamp (usually a stainless steel clamp) is used for locking and fixing. When it is necessary to move or replace the measuring point, the clamp is only loosened to pull out the hose, which is extremely simple to operate. Tightening the clamp can provide uniform circumferential pressure to ensure that the hose is tightly combined with the joint to prevent water leakage. If the sealing performance decreases, the clamp can be tightened again. The water collecting cover 1 is provided with an arc-shaped frame 2 outside, and a filter screen 9 is installed inside the water collecting cover.
