DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the following will further describe the application in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be understood as the usual meaning understood by those with ordinary skills in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms "first", "second" and the like used in the embodiments of the present application do not represent any order, number or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. The terms "include" or "contain" and the like mean that the elements or objects before the terms cover the elements or objects listed after the terms and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The terms "connect" or "connected" and the like are not limited to physical or mechanical connection, but can include electrical connection, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to represent relative positional relationship, and when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.
[0023] Based on the background, as an important part of modern power system, the main function of pumped storage power station is to store water in the upper reservoir during the low demand period of electricity, and to generate electricity during the peak demand period, so as to realize the effective regulation and storage of electric energy. As one of the key facilities of pumped storage power station, the accurate observation of water level change of the upper reservoir is very important for the safe operation and efficiency optimization of the power station.
[0024] In order to realize the automation of water level observation, modern pumped storage power station usually installs advanced sensor system, which can collect water level data in real time and transmit the data to the central control room through network connection, so that the management personnel can know the change of reservoir water level at any time. This kind of automatic observation method greatly improves the accuracy and timeliness of observation, reduces the need for manual intervention, and is an important part of intelligent management of power station. However, although the automatic observation technology is increasingly mature, in order to ensure the reliability of data, traditional observation means still need to be retained as the basis for comparison and verification.
[0025] As a traditional water level observation tool, the principle of water level scale is simple and intuitive, that is, the water level height is directly read through the scale on the scale. After the completion of reservoir storage, the installation of water level scale can not only provide an intuitive water level reference for the observer, but more importantly, it can be compared with the automatic observation data to timely find and correct possible errors. This comparison mechanism is an important guarantee for the accuracy of automatic observation system and is an indispensable part of power station operation and maintenance. However, in actual operation, the dark environment at night has become a big obstacle to observing the water level scale. Since the water level scale is usually located at the edge of the reservoir or the top of the dam, etc. Open area, lack of sufficient light at night makes it difficult for observers or monitors to clearly observe the scale on the scale, increasing the difficulty and uncertainty of observation.
[0026] To solve the above problems, the application provides a water level observation water gauge structure which can clearly display the water level in a dark environment and ensure the accuracy of observation.
[0027] The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The lighting lamp assembly 2 can also integrate a wireless communication module, which is convenient for users to adjust the light mode, brightness and on-off state through a mobile phone APP or a remote control system, and improves the flexibility and convenience of use.
[0034] In the embodiment, the installation groove 11 is used for placing the floating plate 12, the observation slot 13 is convenient for observing the position of the floating plate 12 from the outside, the scale slot 14 is arranged on both sides of the observation slot 13, which is convenient for reading the actual water level according to the position of the floating plate 12, and the lighting lamp assembly 2 illuminates the installation groove 11, the observation slot 13, the scale slot 14 and the floating plate 12 in the dark environment at night, which is convenient for the observer or the monitoring device to observe the actual water level from the outside in the dark environment, and reduces the difficulty of observing the water level. In addition, the floating plate 12 is a scattering floating plate 12, and the light is irradiated onto the scattering floating plate 12 along the internal cavity of the installation groove 11. Due to the scattering effect of the scattering floating plate 12, the scattering floating plate 12 forms a light-emitting body similar to a light guide column under the irradiation of the light, and the position of the scattering floating plate 12 is convenient to observe, and the actual water level is further convenient to observe in the dark condition.
[0035] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lighting lamp assembly 2 includes a lamp body 21 and a lamp holder 22, the lamp body 21 is installed on the lamp holder 22, and the lamp holder 22 is connected with the top of the installation groove 11.
[0036] In addition, the lamp holder 22 is threadedly connected with the installation groove 11.

[0038] In the embodiment, the lamp holder 22 is connected with the installation groove 11, and the lamp body 21 is installed on the lamp holder 22, which increases the stability of the lamp body 21 in the installation groove 11. The lamp holder 22 is threadedly connected with the installation groove 11, which is convenient for the observer to replace the damaged lamp body 21.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bottom of the installation groove 11 is provided with a lower plug 3, and the lower plug 3 is provided with a filter hole 31.
[0040] Specifically, the lower plug 3 includes a plug body and a plug plate, the plug body is fixedly connected with the plug plate, the plug body is detachably connected with the bottom of the installation groove 11 in a threaded or clamping manner, when the filter hole 31 is blocked, the lower plug 3 is convenient to take out to clean the filter hole 31 to restore the filtering function, the plug plate protrudes from the bottom of the water gauge body 1 and abuts against the bottom of the water gauge body 1, which is convenient for the observer to pinch the plug plate to take out the lower plug 3 from the installation groove 11, and improves the dismounting efficiency of the lower plug 3.
[0041] In the embodiment, the lower plug 3 is provided with a filter hole 31 to prevent impurities from entering the installation groove 11, thereby avoiding the impurities from adhering to the floating plate 12, affecting the floating performance of the floating plate 12 and the observation accuracy, and avoiding the impurities from blocking the scale slot 14, causing the observation data to be unable to be accurately read.
[0042] In some embodiments, the observation slot 13 and the scale slot 14 are filled with scattering transparent glue.
[0043] In the embodiment, the scattering transparent glue is filled in the observation slot 13 and the scale slot 14, so that the water gauge body 1 forms a semi-closed structure, avoiding the influence of water splashing on the lamp body 21, and preventing the scale from being blurred due to water erosion, thereby prolonging the service life of the water gauge structure. In addition, the scattering transparent glue can form a luminous body under the irradiation of light, further improving the observation accuracy of the water level.
[0044] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the water gauge body 1 is provided with a mounting ear 4 at the top.
[0045] In addition, the mounting ear 4 is provided in pairs and connected to the two sides of the water gauge body 1, respectively.
[0046] In the embodiment, the mounting ear 4 facilitates the installation of the water gauge body 1 on the river bank, bridge and the like, improving the installation efficiency of the water gauge body 1. Connecting a pair of mounting ears 4 to the two sides of the water gauge body 1 can ensure that the water gauge body 1 remains balanced and stable during installation, thereby not only improving the bearing capacity of the water gauge, but also avoiding deformation or damage caused by unilateral stress.

[0048] In the embodiment, the arrangement of the large scale slot 141 enables the observer to quickly capture the approximate range of water level change. Since the large scale generally has a larger interval and clear markings, the large scale slot 141 can provide intuitive and accurate reference in scenarios where the water level changes quickly or needs to be quickly judged. The small scale slot 142 provides higher observation accuracy. Compared with the large scale slot 141, the small scale slot 142 has denser markings and smaller intervals, so that the observer can more accurately read the water level height, which is suitable for scenarios that require accurate measurement of water level. The large scale slot 141 and the small scale slot 142 are arranged on the two sides of the observation slot 13, respectively, avoiding the mutual interference between the scales, thereby ensuring that the observer can clearly see each scale.
[0049] In summary, the technical scheme of the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0050] All-weather observation capability: By embedding the lighting lamp assembly 2 and the scattering floating plate in the water gauge body 1, the water level observation is not limited to daytime, and the water level information can be clearly read at night, thereby realizing 24-hour uninterrupted water level monitoring.
[0051] Improved observation accuracy: By designing the size scale joint to be light-transmitting, combined with the light-guiding characteristics of the scattering floating plate 12, the water level value can be more accurately read by the observer, especially in poor light conditions, and high water level observation accuracy can still be ensured.
[0052] Enhanced reliability and safety: The scattering transparent adhesive filling scale joint 14 is used to form a semi-closed structure of the water gauge body 1, which avoids the influence of water splashing on the lamp body 21 and prevents the scale from being blurred due to water erosion, thereby prolonging the service life of the water gauge structure.
[0053] Simplified maintenance process: Since the water gauge can adapt to various water level changes and has self-lighting characteristics, the frequency of manual inspection and calibration in the traditional observation method is reduced, and the maintenance cost is reduced.
[0054] Easy to install and integrate: The design of the mounting ear 4 makes the installation of the water gauge more convenient.
[0055] In summary, the technical scheme significantly improves the accuracy, reliability and convenience of water level observation.
