Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of methane automatic observation, especially to a sediment-water interface methane bubble flux automatic observation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Methane, as the second largest greenhouse gas, contributes 20% to the global greenhouse effect, of which the methane emission of inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies) accounts for 40-50% of the total global methane emission; Bubble is considered to be one of the main ways of methane release in inland water bodies. For example, the methane bubble emission of lakes is 8-48Tg / yr, accounting for 6-16% of the total global release; When a large amount of methane is produced in the sediment, most of it is released into the atmosphere through bubbles, except for a small part in the form of molecular diffusion; The methane released in the form of molecular diffusion is easily oxidized and consumed during diffusion in the overlying water body, and has less impact on the environment; The solubility of methane bubbles in water is extremely low, and when the water temperature is 20℃, the solubility is only 3nmol L -3 ; Therefore, when methane is released in the form of bubbles, it can be quickly transported to the atmosphere; Therefore, the monitoring of underwater methane bubble flux is of great significance.

[0003] In the prior art, the traditional water body methane bubble flux is usually determined by the inverted funnel method, which is to invert the funnel under the water surface, collect the methane bubbles released from the sediment through the bucket part, and introduce them into the gas storage bag through the pipe part; The methane bubble volume collected is measured periodically, and the methane bubble flux is calculated according to the setting time; It is found in application that due to the capacity limitation of the gas storage bag, it needs to be replaced regularly, in order to accurately determine the cut-off time of collecting methane bubbles, the gas storage bag can only be recovered before it is full; Due to the timing of recovering the gas storage bag, combined with the time-consuming operation process, not only the obtained data cannot be continuous in time, but also the single collection amount or interval time cannot be consistent; In application, a larger capacity gas storage bag can be selected, such as a gas storage bag that can accommodate more than a week of emission, although it can reduce the number of gas storage bag replacements and prolong the single monitoring time, but due to the high randomness of the methane bubble amount in the water body (i.e. the methane bubble amount may change at any time), the change of the methane bubble amount during the long-time collection process cannot be distinguished; If a small-capacity gas storage bag is used, although the methane bubble data in a short time can be obtained, which is beneficial to distinguish the change process of the methane bubble amount during the collection process, but based on the timing requirements of recovering the gas storage bag and the time-consuming replacement process, it is still impossible to obtain continuous data in time, and a person needs to be on duty at all times during the monitoring process, which seriously limits its application; Therefore, it can be seen that the inverted funnel method in the prior art cannot obtain continuous data of the methane bubble amount in the water body no matter how it is applied, and it cannot reliably distinguish the change process of the bubble amount during the collection process; Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of automatic observation device for sediment-water interface methane bubble flux to solve the above problems.

[0020] As Figure 1 The sediment-water interface methane bubble flux automatic observation device includes bottom frame 1, door frame 2, gas collector 5, block 7 as shown in the figure, the two side door columns of door frame 2 are vertically arranged on the horizontal arrangement bottom frame 1 frame, and the bottom surface of the frame is outwardly extended to be provided with anti-trapping flat plate 16, the gas collector 5 includes two parallelly arranged, same shape and setting direction, right-angled triangle side plates 14, the rectangular area is formed between the two side plates 14 based on the interval and two right-angled edges respectively, the rectangular area is closed by the rectangular plate A 12 and rectangular plate B 13 of corresponding size respectively and is closed into meeting line C 15 at right-angled point, to form the structure of the bucket, the length ratio of the right-angled edge corresponding to the rectangular plate A 12 and rectangular plate B 13 is 1:2~2.5, the meeting line C 15 is parallel with the axis of the crossbeam of door frame 2, the gas collector 5 is hinged below the crossbeam by the meeting line C 15, the opening of the gas collector 5 is downward corresponding to the hollow area of bottom frame 1, the magnetic sheet 6 is arranged on the rectangular plate B 13 of the back side of the gas collector 5, the vertical section of block 7 is arranged on the frame of bottom frame 1 on one side of rectangular plate A 12, and the end of the transverse extension section can be overlapped with rectangular plate A 12 from the back side of gas collector 5, so that the downward opening plane of gas collector 5 is parallel to bottom frame 1, the magnetic induction counter 4 is vertically arranged to the crossbeam of door frame 2 and is horizontally extended to one side of rectangular plate B 13, and the data storage assembly 3 is electrically connected above the magnetic induction counter 4, the data storage assembly 3 includes data storage device, data reading interface and power supply for maintaining data storage and magnetic induction work, when one side of the rectangular plate B 13 of the gas collector 5 is upwardly overturned, the magnetic sheet 6 enters the induction area of the magnetic induction counter 4 and can complete the overturning event counting and overturning event time recording, the lowest point of one side of the rectangular plate A 12 of the gas collector 5 is close to the bottom surface of bottom frame 1 and is not affected by overturning, in application, the bottom surface of bottom frame 1 is placed on the underwater ground, the gas collector 5 is located underwater, and the critical gas volume of inducing one side of the rectangular plate B 13 of the gas collector 5 to be upwardly overturned is 10ml~100ml.

[0021] The working principle of the methane bubble flux automatic observation device of the sediment-water interface is as follows:

[0022] In combination Figure 1 It is understood that, compared with the inverted funnel in the prior art, the utility model adopts the upper closed gas collecting funnel 5 as the core structure for collecting methane bubbles, the bottom frame 1 is arranged underwater as the foundation, the door-shaped frame 2 is used for suspending the gas collecting funnel 5 and making the opening downward correspond to the hollow area of the bottom frame 1, and the methane bubbles from the sediment-water interface are collected into the gas collecting funnel 5; since the side plate 14 of the gas collecting funnel 5 is a right triangle with a length ratio of 1:2~2.5, the gravity center of the gas collecting funnel 5 is offset to one side of the rectangular plate B13 by being hinged to the gas collecting funnel 5 below the crossbeam of the door-shaped frame 2 through the intersection line C15, if one side of the rectangular plate A12 is not limited, one side of the rectangular plate B13 of the gas collecting funnel 5 is inclined downward; since the blocking piece 7 is arranged, the end of the horizontal extension section of the blocking piece 7 overlaps the rectangular plate A12 from the back side of the gas collecting funnel 5, so that the opening plane of the gas collecting funnel 5 is parallel to the bottom frame 1 and is in the best gas collecting state.

[0023] In application, the gas collecting funnel 5 of the utility model is below the water surface, the lower surface of the bottom frame 1 falls on the underwater ground, the data storage assembly 3 and the magnetic induction counter 4 are in the working state before entering the water (the data storage assembly 3 and the magnetic induction counter 4 are waterproofed), when the methane bubbles are not collected initially, the blocking piece 7 makes the plane of the downward opening of the gas collecting funnel 5 parallel to the bottom frame 1 and correspond to the hollow area of the bottom frame 1; the methane bubbles from the sediment-water interface and gradually collect into the gas collecting funnel 5, when the volume of the collected methane bubbles reaches the critical gas volume for turning over of the gas collecting funnel 5, one side of the rectangular plate B13 of the gas collecting funnel 5 turns over upward and makes the magnetic sheet 6 enter the induction area of the magnetic induction counter 4, the magnetic induction counter 4 completes one counting for the turning over event and records the time of the turning over event, and stores in the data storage assembly 3; the methane bubbles are discharged in the turning over process, after turning over to the highest point, the gas collecting funnel 5 makes one side of the rectangular plate B13 descend by the weight, and returns to the initial collecting state through the blocking piece 7, and re-collects the methane bubbles until the next turning over; through the repeated turning over and resetting of the gas collecting funnel 5, the counting of the methane bubble volume collected in a single time and the time sequence record of the occurrence time can be obtained; since the critical gas volume for turning over of the gas collecting funnel 5 can be known through calibration before application and the value is fixed, the methane bubble flux of the sediment-water interface can be calculated in combination with the counting and time record.

[0024] According to common knowledge, the water body capable of generating methane is usually below 10m, most of which is below 5m (generally, the water body with a depth of 10m or less is referred to as a shallow water body), and the underwater ground is usually soft, mostly in a silt state; in order to make the downward opening of the gas collector 5 closer to the underwater ground, and the plane of the bottom frame 1 perpendicular to the vertical upward path of the methane bubbles, the utility model sets the lowest point of the one side of the rectangular plate A12 of the gas collector 5 to be close to the bottom surface of the bottom frame 1 and not to affect the overturning, and the irregular sinking of the bottom frame 1 can be prevented by setting the anti-trapping flat plate 16, which not only can avoid the bottom frame 1 from being unable to be placed due to sinking, but also can prevent the silt from entering the bottom frame 1 to affect the overturning of the gas collector 5, and the utility model can be arranged on the ground without water grass or impurities, so that the continuous automatic observation of the methane bubble flux of the shallow water body can be realized; at the same time:

[0025] Firstly, due to the unstable state of the water body during the first overturning event counting after the arrangement of the utility model, the data during the first counting may not be reliable; therefore, the first overturning event can not be considered during the calculation, and only the occurrence time of the counting is taken as the initial recording time, and the subsequent counting and time recording can be combined to more accurately calculate the methane bubble flux of the sediment-water interface.

[0026] Secondly, the critical gas volume inducing the overturning of the gas collector 5 is taken as the single collection amount of the methane bubbles, and different gas collectors 5 with the critical gas volume in the range of 10mL-100mL are obtained by controlling the size of the gas collector 5; in theory, when the discharge speed and discharge amount of the methane bubbles are constant, the smaller the critical gas volume, the shorter the interval time of the overturning; that is, when the critical gas volume is the same, if the discharge speed and discharge amount of the methane bubbles change, the interval time of the overturning event changes; based on this, the interval time of the overturning event can be controlled by selecting the gas collector 5 with a suitable critical gas volume, which not only can keep the volume of the single collected gas the same during the continuous observation, but also can distinguish the change of the methane bubble amount in the collection process according to the interval time difference of the overturning event, and the smaller the critical gas volume, the more accurate the change of the methane bubble amount in the collection process can be distinguished.

[0027] Thirdly, the time of the continuous observation arranged underwater depends on the self-working time length of the data storage assembly 3, and it is found during application that the power consumption of the data storage assembly 3 mainly occurs during the magnetic induction counting, and the power consumption is very small, so that the appropriate power supply can make the utility model continuously and automatically observe for a long time, and even can be applied for 1 year.

[0028] Fourth, although the gas collector 5 overturning, resetting process will affect the data in time on the continuity, but the turnover, reset time is short, 1~2s can be completed, and limited to the amount of methane production, the time to collect and reach the gas collector 5 overturning critical gas volume will be very long (often need dozens of minutes or even hours), so the turnover, reset time can be ignored, generally will not affect the accuracy of the methane bubble flux; even considering the turnover, reset time, due to the gas collector 5 itself weight, the position of the center of gravity and induced gas collector 5 overturning critical gas volume is fixed, the time of each turnover, reset is the same, in the calculation can be corrected by mathematical algorithm on the calculation results, so as to obtain more accurate sediment-water interface methane bubble flux.

[0029] Preferably, the edge frame of the bottom frame 1 is surrounded by a rectangle, a circle or an ellipse, which is mainly to form a stable support structure; of course, other edge frame shapes of the bottom frame 1 which are convenient for the door-shaped frame 2 and the blocking piece 7 to be arranged and can meet the working principle described above can also be applied.

[0030] Preferably, the edge frame of the bottom frame 1 is a hollow pipe with a through hole, and the through hole is provided with a closing plug; this arrangement can provide a counterweight for the bottom of the utility model, and before entering the water, the high-density flowing medium such as fine sand, lead pellets, etc. can be injected from the through hole, and the stability of the water arrangement can be improved after being closed by the closing plug; the flowing medium can be discharged during recovery, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

[0031] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 , 3 , 4, 5, a plurality of lifting rings 8 are arranged above the edge frame of the bottom frame 1, and a plurality of lifting rings 8 are arranged above the crossbeam of the door-shaped frame 2; the lifting ring 8 is convenient for underwater arrangement and recovery of the utility model, and is especially suitable for relatively deep water.

[0032] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 , 4 , one or more downward vertical drill rods 9 are fixedly arranged below the edge frame of the bottom frame 1; this arrangement is a kind of underwater stability preferred structure, for relatively stable water flow or shallow water area, such as Figure 1 The structure shown can be stabilized underwater by the weight of the structure itself or the hollow tubular structure of the edge frame of the bottom frame 1; if the water flow fluctuates greatly or there is an underwater current, the drill rod 9 can be inserted into the ground during underwater arrangement by means of its own weight, so as to ensure the stability of the arrangement.

[0033] Preferably, as shown in Figure 4 , 5As shown, the side of the bottom frame 1 frame is provided with two or more than two sliding sleeve 10, sliding sleeve 10 and the corresponding number of insertable underwater ground positioning slide rod 11 sliding fit, the anti-sink plate 16 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the positioning slide rod 11; preferably three or more than three sliding sleeve 10 and the corresponding number of positioning slide rod 11; the setting is another kind of underwater stability preferred structure, when used, the positioning slide rod 11 can be sleeved in the sliding sleeve 10, and then the positioning slide rod 11 is inserted into the underwater ground, and the bottom frame 1 is slid along the positioning slide rod 11 into the underwater and can be completed; or according to the position and number of sliding sleeve 10, the positioning slide rod 11 is inserted into the underwater ground, and then the sliding sleeve 10 is sleeved on the positioning slide rod 11 and slid into the underwater; the setting is suitable for various water flow state of deep water or shallow water, as long as the positioning slide rod 11 is inserted into the underwater bottom surface and is stable enough, the stability can be guaranteed; when the monitoring task is completed, the positioning slide rod 11 can be recycled, or the positioning slide rod 11 can be left in place, and the next observation can be arranged in situ, and the change of methane emission at different time stages can be found; if the data is obtained in the middle stage of the monitoring plan time, the position of the positioning slide rod 11 is kept unchanged when recycling, and the data is obtained and arranged in situ again, which can affect the underwater environment state to a smaller extent; especially, since the methane bubbles vertically float upward, the horizontal arrangement of the bottom frame 1 is beneficial to the collection of the gas collector 5; in actual application, the underwater ground may be inclined, if the bottom frame 1 (or cooperated with the drill rod 9) is directly arranged, the bottom frame 1 can only be inclined with the ground; when the bottom frame 1 is arranged by means of the sliding sleeve 10 along the positioning slide rod 11, due to the limiting relationship of the sliding sleeve 10 and the positioning slide rod 11 and / or the anti-sink plate 16, no matter how the ground is inclined, the bottom frame 1 can maintain the horizontal state, so that the opening of the gas collector 5 can collect the methane bubbles vertically downward; moreover, if there are waterweeds or other impurities on the ground, according to the height of the waterweeds or other impurities, the limiting piece of the positioning slide rod 11 is provided with the sliding sleeve 10, so that the utility model can be arranged above the waterweeds or other impurities, and the original state of the ground in the methane generating area can be maintained, and the observation result will not be affected.
