Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water level gauge devices, specifically a water level gauge device for measuring water levels. Background Technology

[0002] A water gauge is a scale or graduated device used to measure the height of water surface. It plays an important role in many fields such as water conservancy, shipping, agriculture, and environmental protection.

[0003] However, current water level gauge devices generally use steel frame supports to fix and suspend the water level gauge in the water. This means that only one measuring point can be measured, which cannot meet the needs of measuring multiple measuring points. In particular, the fixed size of the support means that it cannot be extended to measure the water level in deep water areas.

[0004] In addition, the water gauge cannot be adjusted vertically and is constantly in the water flow. Mud and sand in the water and floating objects on the surface get stuck on the water gauge, making it impossible to observe the water gauge's measurement scale. Moreover, the water gauge is often damaged, affecting the water level measurement work. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water gauge device for measuring water levels, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A water gauge device for measuring water level includes a support, a vertical support, a horizontal support, a horizontal transmission device, a vertical transmission device, a measuring support, and a water gauge.

[0008] The support is set on the riverbank, and the bottom end of the vertical bracket is rotatably mounted on the support perpendicular to the ground;

[0009] A horizontal support is provided perpendicularly to the axis of the vertical support at its upper part.

[0010] A transverse transmission device is provided on the transverse support;

[0011] The drive end of the transverse transmission device is connected to the measuring bracket;

[0012] The measuring bracket is equipped with a vertical transmission device;

[0013] The drive end of the vertical transmission device is connected to the water gauge.

[0014] More preferably, a first motor is provided on the support, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the bottom end of the vertical support.

[0015] More preferably, the lateral transmission device includes a second motor;

[0016] The output shaft of the second motor is equipped with a first lead screw;

[0017] The first lead screw is provided with a sliding member, and the sliding member is threadedly connected to the first lead screw;

[0018] The sliding member is provided with first moving wheels at its symmetrical ends, and the inner side walls of the transverse support are provided with first sliding grooves that cooperate with the first moving wheels.

[0019] The end of the slider away from the second motor is connected to the measuring bracket, which drives the measuring bracket to move axially along the transverse bracket.

[0020] More preferably, the end of the first lead screw away from the second motor is provided with a first limiting member for limiting the sliding member;

[0021] The sliding member and the measuring bracket are fixedly connected by symmetrically arranged connecting rods, and both connecting rods pass through the first limiting member.

[0022] More preferably, the vertical transmission device includes a third motor;

[0023] A second lead screw is provided on the output shaft of the third motor;

[0024] The second lead screw is provided with a slider, and the slider is threadedly connected to the second lead screw;

[0025] The slider is provided with second moving wheels at its symmetrical ends, and the measuring bracket is provided with second sliding grooves on its inner two side walls that cooperate with the second moving wheels;

[0026] The slider is connected to the water gauge, which drives the water gauge to move in a direction perpendicular to the water surface.

[0027] More preferably, the second lead screw is provided with a second limiting member at the end near the water surface for limiting the slider;

[0028] The end of the water gauge furthest from the third motor is positioned through the second limiting member.

[0029] More preferably, the top of the vertical support is provided with a first connecting ear;

[0030] The horizontal support is provided with a second connecting lug at the end away from the vertical support;

[0031] A steel wire rope is provided between the first connecting ear and the second connecting ear.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0033] This utility model provides a water gauge device for measuring water level. First, the entire water gauge device is rotated by a first motor. On the one hand, the measuring end of the water gauge can be rotated to the shore to facilitate cleaning of dirt on the surface of the water gauge, replacement and repair of the water gauge. On the other hand, the measuring end of the water gauge can be rotated to different measuring points on the water surface to measure the water level at different measuring points.

[0034] Secondly, by using a transverse transmission device to drive the water gauge device to move linearly along the axial direction, it is more convenient to measure water level data in different water areas, especially water level data in deep water areas, as water level data in one water area often cannot fully reflect the flow of the entire river cross section.

[0035] Furthermore, a vertical transmission device drives the water gauge to move vertically along the water surface. During measurement, the water gauge is moved to the bottom; when not measuring, it is moved out of the water. This solves the problem of sediment and floating debris accumulating on the water gauge due to prolonged immersion in water, which further complicates readings and can even damage the water gauge.
