[0005] In view of the problems of complex structure, high cost, inability to intuitively monitor water conditions, poor warning effect when the water level is too high, low practicality of the marker, poor installation stability, and easy to tip over when encountering turbulent water flow, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water level marker for water conservancy and hydropower, which aims to solve the problems of complex structure, high cost, inability to intuitively monitor water conditions, poor warning effect when the water level is too high, low practicality of the marker, poor installation stability, and easy to tip over when encountering turbulent water flow.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water level marker for water conservancy and hydropower, comprising: a measuring unit including a measuring rod, and a marking assembly slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the measuring rod;

[0008] The connecting unit includes a connecting component disposed at the bottom of the measuring rod;

[0009] The support unit includes a support component disposed at the bottom of the connecting component.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the water level marker for water conservancy and hydropower according to this utility model, the marking assembly includes a floating ring slidably disposed inside the measuring rod, connecting rods disposed on both sides of the floating ring, a float disposed on one side of the connecting rod, and a collar disposed on the outer wall of the connecting rod, wherein the collar is slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the measuring rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the water level indicator for water conservancy and hydropower described in this utility model, a marking ring is provided at the top of the collar, and the marking ring is slidably connected to the outer diameter of the measuring rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the water level benchmark for water conservancy and hydropower described in this utility model, the photovoltaic panel assembly includes an adjusting component disposed on the top of the measuring rod. The adjusting component includes a top ring disposed on the top of the measuring rod, a top plate disposed on the top of the top ring, a guide ring disposed on the top of the top plate, and an adjusting shaft slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the guide ring.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the water level benchmark for water conservancy and hydropower described in this utility model, the top of the top plate is provided with a support rod, the top of the support rod is provided with a spherical shaft, the outer diameter of the spherical shaft is provided with a photovoltaic panel, and the photovoltaic panel is connected to an adjustment shaft.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the water level indicator for water conservancy and hydropower described in this utility model, the connecting assembly includes a retaining ring disposed at the bottom of the measuring rod, a fixing bolt disposed on the retaining ring, and a retaining plate disposed at the top of the retaining ring, wherein the retaining plate cooperates with the measuring rod.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0029] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0030] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a water level indicator for water conservancy and hydropower. The device includes: a measuring unit 100, including a measuring rod 101, and a marking component 102 slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the measuring rod 101. The water level mark can be quickly and accurately observed by marking the outer diameter of the measuring rod 101 by the measuring unit 100 due to buoyancy.

[0031] The connecting unit 300 includes a connecting component 301 disposed at the bottom of the measuring rod 101, which allows for quick connection and installation of the measuring rod 101.

[0032] The support unit 400 includes a support component 401 disposed at the bottom of the connecting component 301. The measuring rod 101 is quickly connected to the support component 401 through the connecting component 301 to prevent poor installation stability and easy tipping when encountering turbulent water flow.

[0033] The marking component 102 includes a floating ring 102a slidably disposed inside the measuring rod 101, connecting rods 102b disposed on both sides of the floating ring 102a, a float 102d disposed on one side of the connecting rod 102b, and a collar 102c disposed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 102b. The collar 102c is slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the measuring rod 101. The floating ring 102a floats and limits the movement inside the measuring rod 101, causing the floats 102d and the collar 102c on both sides of the connecting rod 102b to move on the measuring rod 101 due to the buoyancy of the water level, and marking is performed quickly at the same time.

[0034] Furthermore, a marking ring 102e is provided on the top of the collar 102c, and the marking ring 102e is slidably connected to the outer diameter of the measuring rod 101. The marking ring 102e on the collar 102c makes it possible to quickly and clearly see the marked position of the water level.

[0035] During use, when the water level marker is working in the water, the measuring rod 101 is placed in the water. The buoyancy of the water causes the float 102d, along with the collar 102c, to move and mark the current water level position on the measuring rod 101. At the same time, the floating ring 102a inside the measuring rod 101 can limit the movement of the float 102d and the collar 102c, ensuring that they can move and mark stably on the surface of the measuring rod 101. This design is simple, low-cost, and allows for clear and intuitive monitoring of water conditions.

[0036] Example 2, refer to Figure 2 - Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the photovoltaic panel assembly 200 includes an adjustment member 201 disposed on the top of the measuring rod 101. The adjustment member 201 on the top of the measuring rod 101 can be used to illuminate the alarm and LED lights at the bottom of the photovoltaic panel to save energy.

[0037] Furthermore, the adjusting member 201 includes a top ring 201a disposed on the top of the measuring rod 101, a top plate 201b disposed on the top of the top ring 201a, a guide ring 201c disposed on the top of the top plate 201b, and an adjusting shaft 201d slidably disposed on the outer diameter of the guide ring 201c. The guide ring 201c connected to the top ring 201a and the top plate 201b on the top of the measuring rod 101 allows the adjusting shaft 201d to move and be limited on the guide ring 201c.

[0038] Compared to Embodiment 1, the top plate 201b is further provided with a support rod 201e, and the top of the support rod 201e is provided with a spherical shaft 201f. A photovoltaic panel 201g is provided on the outer diameter of the spherical shaft 201f, and the photovoltaic panel 201g is connected to the adjustment shaft 201d. The photovoltaic panel 201g can be moved and adjusted at multiple angles through the support rod 201e and the spherical shaft 201f at the top of the top plate 201b, so that the photovoltaic panel 201g can always face the sun to collect energy.

[0039] Furthermore, an LED ring light 203 is provided at the bottom of the top ring 201a, an alarm ring light 202 is provided on the outer diameter of the top ring 201a, and an alarm block 204 is provided at the bottom of the top ring 201a. The alarm block 204 is electrically connected to the alarm ring light 202. The photovoltaic power source is provided through the photovoltaic panel 201g and the alarm ring light 202. When the alarm block 204 is triggered, the alarm ring light 202 starts to emit an alarm and flash to provide an alarm.

[0040] During use, when the water level is too high, the float 102d moves along the measuring rod 101. When it reaches the highest position, the float 102d touches the alarm block 204, causing the alarm block 204 to be squeezed. This triggers the alarm ring light 202 to flash and sound an alarm, alerting users to the abnormal water level. The photovoltaic panel 201g at the top of the measuring rod 101, along with the support rod 201e and the spherical shaft 201f, allows the photovoltaic panel 201g to move, ensuring it always faces the sun for energy collection. This also provides the rod with lighting, making it convenient for users to observe the water level at night.

[0041] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0042] Example 3, referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that the connecting component 301 includes a retaining ring 301a disposed at the bottom of the measuring rod 101, a fixing bolt 301d disposed on the retaining ring 301a, and a retaining plate 301c disposed at the top of the retaining ring 301a. The retaining plate 301c cooperates with the measuring rod 101. The retaining ring 301a holds the measuring rod 101 in place, allowing the measuring rod 101 to be connected and fixed. The fixing bolt 301d can fix the angle of the measuring rod 101, making the measuring rod 101 less likely to tip over.

[0043] Compared to embodiment 2, the clamping plate 301c is further provided with a fixing bolt 301d, and the fixing bolt 301d is connected to the measuring rod 101. The fixing bolt 301d can limit the angle of the measuring rod 101 and can also perform secondary fixing connection of the measuring rod 101.

[0044] The support component 401 includes a counterweight 401c slidably disposed at the bottom of the retaining ring 301a, a fixing plate 401b disposed at the bottom of the counterweight 401c, and a fixing angle 401a disposed at the bottom of the fixing plate 401b. The retaining ring 301a and the bottom counterweight 401c can make the measuring rod 101 stable at the bottom of the water and not easy to tip over.

[0045] Furthermore, a bolt 103 is provided at the bottom of the measuring rod 101, and the bolt 103 is connected to the counterweight 401c. The bolt 103 makes the measuring rod 101 more stably fixed inside the counterweight 401c, ensuring the stability of the measuring rod 101.

[0046] During use, when assembling the measuring rod, the measuring rod 101 is connected inside the retaining ring 301a, and the measuring rod 101 is secondary fixed and angle limited by the retaining plate 301c and the fixing bolt 301d. At the same time, the bolt 103 at the bottom of the measuring rod 101 is connected to the counterweight block 401c, so that the measuring rod 101 can be counterweighted. The bottom is fixed by inserting the fixing plate 401b and the fixing angle 401a into the water, so that the measuring rod 101 can stand stably in the water and prevent it from easily tipping over when encountering turbulent water. At the same time, the connection makes it easy to disassemble and carry.

[0047] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 2.

[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
