Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and in particular to a pull-wire type open channel flow velocity detection device. Background Technology

[0002] An open channel is a channel with free surface water flow. Open channels are divided into artificial open channels and natural open channels. Artificial open channels are all constructed and dug by humans, such as irrigation open channels. Natural open channels refer to natural waterways.

[0003] To prevent problems such as defects, severe leakage, and water volume reduction in open channels, it is necessary to regularly monitor the flow of open channels to improve the efficiency of water resource management.

[0004] Meanwhile, when urban flooding or floods occur, the flow monitoring system of open channels can also play a role in drainage and early warning, providing important data support in responding to natural disasters.

[0005] Traditional open channel flow measurement devices involve fixing a support column to the bottom of the open channel and installing a lifting device on the support column. The position of the flow velocity sensor is adjusted by the lifting device to measure the flow rate. However, installing the support column inside the open channel significantly affects the flow velocity, resulting in poor accuracy and precision in flow velocity measurement. Furthermore, the lifting device is constantly submerged in water, increasing its waterproofing requirements, accelerating its aging process, shortening its lifespan, and increasing construction and maintenance costs.

[0006] In addition, underwater construction is difficult and maintenance is challenging, making it extremely inconvenient to construct and maintain the canal flow detection device, which makes the construction and maintenance work quite time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable-operated open channel flow velocity detection device that can eliminate the interference of the support column on the water flow, improve the accuracy of the flow velocity detection results, and at the same time, the cable structure controls the raising and lowering of the flow velocity sensor, reducing interference with the water flow and improving the detection accuracy of the flow velocity sensor.

[0008] The key feature of the pull-wire open channel flow velocity detection device is that it is equipped with a flow velocity sensor located inside the open channel and a gantry located above the open channel. The flow velocity sensor is connected to the gantry through a pulley mechanism.

[0009] The pulley mechanism includes a movable pulley mounted on the gantry and a fixed pulley mounted on the bottom of the open channel, and the centers of the movable pulley and the fixed pulley are located on the same straight line;

[0010] The flow rate sensor is connected to the movable pulley and the fixed pulley via a sliding rope.

[0011] The two supports of the gantry are respectively installed on the ground on both sides of the open channel.

[0012] The gantry is installed above the open channel, which avoids long-term impact and corrosion from water, thus effectively reducing the waterproofing requirements of the gantry, slowing down the aging process, extending the service life of the gantry, reducing the construction and maintenance costs and difficulties, and improving the efficiency of construction and maintenance.

[0013] The cable structure controls the raising and lowering of the flow velocity sensor, reducing interference with the water flow and improving detection accuracy.

[0014] Furthermore, a mounting plate is fixed on the flow velocity sensor, with an upper mounting lug and a lower mounting lug installed at one end of the mounting plate, and a sliding rope through hole at the other end of the mounting plate;

[0015] One end of the sliding rope is connected to the upper mounting lug. After the sliding rope passes around the movable pulley, it passes through the sliding rope through-hole, then around the fixed pulley. The other end of the sliding rope is connected to the lower mounting lug.

[0016] By controlling the rotation of the movable pulley, the flow velocity sensor can be raised or lowered as the pulley rotates, thus enabling the flow velocity sensor to detect flow velocity at any height below the water level, thereby satisfying the flow velocity measurement requirements under any water level conditions.

[0017] The sliding rope through the hole can limit the sliding rope, and together with the movable pulley and the fixed pulley, it can prevent the flow velocity sensor from deflecting in the water, so that the flow velocity sensor is aligned with the direction of water flow.

[0018] Furthermore, the gantry is equipped with a driven gear, which rotates synchronously with the movable pulley;

[0019] A flow rate processor is installed on the side wall of the driven gear. The signal terminal of the flow rate processor is connected to a signal line, which passes around the driven gear and connects to the flow rate sensor.

[0020] The flow rate processor follows the rotation of the movable pulley, enabling reliable extension and retraction of the signal line and protecting the signal line.

[0021] Furthermore, the movable pulley is coaxially mounted with a driving gear, and the driven gear is coaxially mounted with a driven gear, with the driving gear and the driven gear meshing.

[0022] The driving gear meshes with the driven gear, causing the movable pulley to drive the driven gear to rotate, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the movable pulley and the driven gear.

[0023] Alternatively, the movable pulley and the driven gear can be installed coaxially, but the distance between them needs to be increased to avoid the signal line and the sliding rope from getting tangled together.

[0024] Furthermore, the sliding rope is wound in the opposite direction to the signal line.

[0025] Furthermore, the two pillars of the gantry are equipped with telescopic support rods, which are telescopic rods with a screw and nut structure.

[0026] Furthermore, a crossbar is directly fixed to the two support pillars, and the crossbar is equipped with the movable pulley, the driven gear, and the motor. The motor is connected to the movable pulley via a rotating shaft.

[0027] The gantry is installed outside the open channel, which not only provides stable support for the pulley mechanism, but also enables the overall lifting and lowering control of the pulley structure, eliminating the interference of the support column on the water flow, thereby improving the accuracy of the flow velocity detection results.

[0028] In addition, installing the supports on both sides of the open channel can prevent long-term impact and corrosion of the supports by water, which could damage the telescopic support rods inside the supports. This reduces the waterproofing requirements of the telescopic support rods, slows down their aging, extends their service life, reduces construction and maintenance costs and difficulties, and improves construction and maintenance efficiency.

[0029] At the same time, the telescopic support rod can extend the support column, thereby lifting the fixed pulley at the bottom of the open channel, and removing foreign objects such as mud and sand from the fixed pulley through the impact of water flow.

[0030] Furthermore, an installation groove is provided at the bottom of the open channel, and a pulley mounting bracket is installed in the installation groove, on which the fixed pulley is fixedly installed.

[0031] When the pulley mounting bracket is installed in the mounting slot, the mounting slot can restrict the movement of the pulley mounting bracket, so that the fixed pulley faces the liquid surface of the open channel, and ensure that the center of the movable pulley and the fixed pulley are on the same straight line.

[0032] Furthermore, a liquid level detection pool connected to the open channel is provided next to the open channel, and a liquid level sensor is installed in the liquid level detection pool.

[0033] The flowing water causes large fluctuations in the surface of the liquid in the open channel, which is not conducive to the stable detection of the liquid level by the level sensor. By using a level detection tank, the liquid level is the same as that in the open channel, and the fluctuations in the surface of the liquid in the level detection tank are small and can be ignored when detecting the liquid level, thereby improving the stable acquisition of the liquid level signal.

[0034] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model can eliminate the interference of the support column on the water flow, improve the accuracy of the flow velocity detection results, and at the same time, the cable structure controls the lifting and lowering of the flow velocity sensor, reducing the interference on the water flow and improving the detection accuracy of the flow velocity sensor, thereby improving the efficiency of water resource management and providing accurate and important data support for drainage and early warning.

[0035] 2. The fluctuation of the liquid surface in the liquid level detection tank is small and can be ignored when detecting the liquid level, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor and the accuracy of the liquid level detection results.

[0036] 3. The flow velocity detection mechanism is set above the open channel, which avoids long-term impact and corrosion of the flow velocity detection mechanism by water. This effectively reduces the waterproof requirements of the flow velocity detection mechanism, slows down the aging rate of the flow velocity detection mechanism, extends the service life of the flow velocity detection mechanism, reduces the construction and maintenance costs and difficulties of the flow velocity detection mechanism, and improves the efficiency of construction and maintenance.
