Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water quality testing technology, specifically, it relates to a floating water quality monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Water quality monitoring items can be broadly divided into two categories based on the indicators and types of pollutants. One category consists of comprehensive indicators reflecting the water quality status, such as water temperature, color, turbidity, pH value, suspended solids, and biological oxygen demand. The other category consists of some toxic substances contained in the water, such as phenols, cyanides, arsenic, lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, and organic pesticides.

[0003] A search revealed that CN215375358U discloses a floating water quality monitoring device that uses a solar panel to power the device. The monitoring device body and float are placed in the water, and the winding roller is rotated. The rope passes through the through hole and extends, allowing the positioning block to enter the water and fix the device on the water surface, preventing the device from moving due to water flow. The float is in contact with the water surface, reducing the swaying amplitude of the device and improving its stability.

[0004] The float and the fixed rod in this monitoring device are both stationary, which means that the float is always in an extended state whether the device is in use or not. This results in the device taking up a large area, making it inconvenient to store, and may also cause damage to the float during storage.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the technical problem that the float and fixing rod in the monitoring device are both fixed, resulting in the float always being in an extended state whether the device is in use or not, thus leading to a large footprint, inconvenience for storage, and potential damage to the float during storage, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A floating water quality monitoring device, including a base;

[0008] The detector is mounted on the top of the base, which has a storage mechanism. Below the storage mechanism is a filter assembly / disassembly mechanism. The storage mechanism includes a sliding sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the detector.

[0009] A first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. A sliding column is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring away from the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. The outer wall of the sliding column is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column. A positioning rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod away from the sliding column. A groove is formed on the outer wall of the base. A rotating groove is formed at the bottom and top of the inner wall of the groove. A torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom rotating groove. A rotating column is fixedly connected to the end of the torsion spring away from the inner wall of the rotating groove. The outer wall of the rotating column is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the rotating groove. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column. A float is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod away from the rotating column. A storage groove is formed on the outer wall of the base.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the filter assembly / disassembly mechanism includes an installation groove at the bottom of the base, a filter cover being snapped into the inner wall of the installation groove, a groove at the bottom of the base, a second spring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove, a plug rod being fixedly connected to the end of the second spring away from the inner wall of the groove, a lever being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug rod, and an insertion hole being opened at the top of the outer wall of the filter cover, with the outer wall of the plug rod snapped into the inner wall of the insertion hole.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the base is triangular in shape, and there are three fixing rods and three floats, which are evenly distributed in the triangular part of the base.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning hole is provided at the top of the fixing rod, and the inner wall of the positioning hole fits snugly against the outer wall of the positioning rod.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve is fitted to the outer wall of the sliding column.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two insertion rods, which are distributed symmetrically on both sides of the bottom of the base.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the end of the insertion rod away from the second spring is provided with an inclined surface, and the outer wall of the insertion rod is fitted to the inner wall of the insertion hole on the outer wall of the filter cover.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention involves first pulling the sliding column upwards. This causes the first spring to stretch, simultaneously moving the connecting rod and positioning rod upwards. The positioning rod then moves to the top of the base. Next, the three fixing rods are rotated towards the outer wall of the base. During this rotation, the rotating column drives the torsion spring, which in turn rotates the float into the storage slot. Once the float is in the storage slot, the sliding column can be released. The first spring then rebounds and moves the sliding column downwards, causing the connecting rod and positioning rod to move downwards. The positioning rod then passes through the through hole at the top of the base and engages with the inner wall of the positioning hole at the top of the fixing rod, thus limiting the position of the fixing rod and the float. This completes the float storage operation, preventing the overall device from becoming too large for storage and avoiding damage to the float when not in use.

[0018] This invention uses a filter cover to protect the detection probe at the bottom of the detector from damage caused by fish, shrimp, or rocks in the water. When the filter cover needs to be replaced, the lever can be moved to the left or right. The lever will move the insertion rod to the left or right, and during the movement, it will compress the second spring, causing the insertion rod to disengage from the insertion hole on the outer wall of the top of the filter cover. In this way, the filter cover will lose its limiting function, and then the filter cover can be removed from the mounting slot.

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a floating water quality monitoring device includes a base 1, a detector 2 mounted on top of the base 1, a storage mechanism 31 on the base 1, and a filter assembly / disassembly mechanism 32 below the storage mechanism 31. The storage mechanism 31 includes a sliding sleeve 311 fixedly connected to the top of the detector 2. A first spring 312 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 311. A sliding column 313 is fixedly connected to the end of the first spring 312 away from the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 311. The outer wall of the sliding column 313 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 311. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 313. A positioning rod 315 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rod 314 away from the sliding column 313. A groove is provided on the outer wall of the base 1. A rotating groove is provided at the bottom and top of the inner wall of the groove. A torsion spring 316 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom rotating groove. A rotating column 317 is fixedly connected to the end of the torsion spring 316 away from the inner wall of the rotating groove. The outer wall of the rotating column 317 is rotatably set on the inner wall of the rotating groove. A fixing rod 318 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 317. A float ball 319 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing rod 318 away from the rotating column 317. A storage groove 3110 is provided on the outer wall of the base 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the base 1 is triangular in shape, with three fixing rods 318 and three floats 319. The fixing rods 318 and floats 319 are evenly distributed in the triangular part of the base 1, so as to provide uniform support for the triangular part of the base 1 and ensure stability on the water surface.

[0029] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided at the top of the fixing rod 318. The inner wall of the positioning hole fits snugly against the outer wall of the positioning rod 315, thus ensuring the tightness of the positioning rod 315 after it is engaged with the inner wall of the positioning hole, thereby improving the stability after engagement.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 311 fits snugly against the outer wall of the sliding post 313, thereby ensuring a tight fit between the outer wall of the sliding post 313 and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 311, thus ensuring stability during the snap-fit ​​process.

[0031] The filter assembly / disassembly mechanism 32 includes a mounting groove 321 at the bottom of the base 1. A filter cover 325 is snapped into the inner wall of the mounting groove 321. A groove is provided at the bottom of the base 1. A second spring 322 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. A plug rod 323 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 322 away from the inner wall of the groove. A lever 324 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the plug rod 323. An insertion hole is provided at the top of the outer wall of the filter cover 325. The outer wall of the plug rod 323 is snapped into the inner wall of the insertion hole.

[0032] Furthermore, there are two insertion rods 323, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the base 1. This allows for simultaneous and uniform support on both sides of the filter cover 325, thereby ensuring the stability of the filter cover 325 after installation.

[0033] Furthermore, the end of the insertion rod 323 away from the second spring 322 is provided with an inclined surface, and the outer wall of the insertion rod 323 fits snugly against the inner wall of the insertion hole on the outer wall of the filter cover 325. This ensures the tight fit of the insertion rod 323 after it is snapped into the inner wall of the insertion hole, thereby ensuring the stability of the insertion rod 323 after it is snapped into place.

[0034] The implementation principle of a floating water quality monitoring device in this embodiment is as follows: When the float 319 needs to be stored, firstly, pull the sliding column 313 upward. At this time, the sliding column 313 will drive the first spring 312 to stretch, and at the same time drive the connecting rod 314 and the positioning rod 315 to move upward, so that the positioning rod 315 moves to the top of the base 1. Then, the fixing rod 318 at three points is turned towards the outer wall of the base 1. During the rotation, the rotating column 317 rotates, driving the torsion spring 316 to rotate, and then driving the float 319 to rotate into the storage groove 3110. When the float 319 moves into the storage groove 3110, the sliding column 313 can be released. At this time, the first spring 312 will rebound. The sliding column 313 moves downward, which in turn moves the connecting rod 314 and the positioning rod 315 downward. At this time, the positioning rod 315 will pass through the through hole at the top of the base 1 and be inserted into the inner wall of the positioning hole at the top of the fixed rod 318, thereby completing the limiting function of the fixed rod 318 and the float 319. This completes the storage operation of the float 319, avoiding the overall device from being too large for storage and preventing damage to the float 319 when not in use. To unfold, simply pull the sliding column 313 upward to disengage the positioning rod 315 from the positioning hole. Then, the torsion spring 316 will rotate back to reset the fixed rod 318 and the float 319, thus completing the unfolding and making it ready for use.

[0035] The filter cover 325 protects the detection probe at the bottom of the detector 2 from damage caused by fish, shrimp, and rocks in the water. When the filter cover 325 needs to be replaced, the lever 324 can be moved to the left and right. The lever 324 will move the insertion rod 323 to the left and right. During the movement, the second spring 322 will be squeezed, causing the insertion rod 323 to disengage from the insertion hole on the outer wall of the top of the filter cover 325. In this way, the filter cover 325 will lose its limiting function. Then, the filter cover 325 can be removed from the mounting slot 321. During installation, simply insert the filter cover 325 into the mounting slot 321. During the insertion process, the inclined surface on one side of the insertion rod 323 will be squeezed and moved until the insertion hole moves to the position of the insertion rod 323. The second spring 322 will then rebound and push the insertion rod 323 into the insertion hole, completing the installation.
