Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water flow velocity meter technology, and more specifically, to a water flow velocity meter bracket. Background Technology
[0002] A deep-water current velocity meter bracket is primarily used to fix and support the current velocity meter, enabling accurate measurement of water flow velocity in deep water. A well-designed bracket not only ensures the stability and safety of the velocity meter but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.
[0003] Traditional supports often use metal frames directly fixed to the riverbed, which are easily affected by water flow and displacement (especially when the sediment content is high, the accumulation of sediment exacerbates the imbalance), affecting the stability of the velocity meter data. Moreover, early supports relied on manual diving into deep water to drive piles for fixation, which is risky and difficult to adapt to different water depths. Although some floating supports avoid wading, they have poor resistance to wind and waves and are easily washed away from their original position. They also lack positioning and warning devices, making it difficult to quickly locate the support position at night or in foggy conditions, increasing the risk of equipment loss or misoperation.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a water flow velocity meter bracket. Utility Model Content
[0005] The water flow velocity meter bracket provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A water flow velocity meter bracket includes a concrete base and an anchor float. A concrete mounting seat is provided at the top center of the concrete base. Double-limb clamps are provided inside both the concrete base and the concrete mounting seat. Several sets of thick steel plates are provided inside the concrete mounting seat. Pre-embedded bolts are welded to the top of the thick steel plates. Polymer plate clamps are installed around the periphery of the pre-embedded bolts. There are two sets of polymer plate clamps. Tie bolts are installed between the two sets of polymer plate clamps.
[0007] With the above technical solutions, after the polymer plate clamps replace the metal clamps, the corrosion rate of the connectors is reduced, the maintenance cycle is extended, and the pre-embedded bolt plug welding process avoids exposed threads and reduces disassembly difficulties caused by mud and sand blockage.
[0008] Furthermore, suspension rods are installed around the top of the concrete base.
[0009] The above technical solution allows the use of joists and wire ropes to support remote adjustment of the support depth from the shore, eliminating the need for diving operations and improving operational safety.
[0010] Furthermore, a steel wire rope is connected to the surface of the lifting rod, and a retaining ring is connected to one end of the steel wire rope.
[0011] The above technical solution allows for quick disassembly of the shackle and anchor wire rope, facilitating temporary equipment recovery during flood peak periods.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the retaining ring is connected to an anchor float wire rope, and one end of the anchor float wire rope is connected to an anchor float.
[0013] The above technical solution uses steel wire ropes to connect and fix the anchor float.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the anchor float is equipped with a GPS guide and a solar-powered warning light.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the anchor float is connected to the support by the anchor float steel wire rope and floats on the water surface; the GPS guide beacon uploads location data to the monitoring terminal in real time, and the solar warning light flashes red light at night to assist in rapid positioning.
[0016] Furthermore, mounting holes are provided at the positions between the polymer board clamps and at the center of the top of the concrete mounting base.
[0017] The above technical solution facilitates the installation and use of the water flow velocity meter through the mounting hole.
[0018] Furthermore, openings are provided on the surface of the thick steel plate.
[0019] The openings in the above technical solution are designed to facilitate the insertion of pre-embedded bolts, thereby making subsequent plug welding easier.
[0020] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0021] This application utilizes a double-limb hoop and layered embedded thick steel plates within a concrete base to form a high-strength composite anchoring structure. This structure offers improved compressive strength compared to traditional metal frames, while also reducing the displacement of the support in water flow. Furthermore, the pre-embedded bolt plug welding process prevents exposed threads. Combined with the elastic clamping of polymer plate fixtures, this reduces the risk of silt blockage and corrosion, extending maintenance cycles. Additionally, the suspension rods and wire ropes work together to allow for remote adjustment of the support's water depth from the shore, avoiding personnel wading and improving operational safety and efficiency. Moreover, the GPS guide and solar warning lights work in tandem, uploading location data to the monitoring terminal in real time and flashing red lights at night to assist in rapid positioning. This design offers advantages such as strong environmental adaptability, optimized impact resistance and stability, and safe installation. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example:
[0032] This application discloses a water flow velocity meter bracket; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The system includes a concrete base 1 and an anchor float 8. A concrete mounting seat 3 is located at the top center of the concrete base 1. Double-limb clamps 4 are provided inside both the concrete base 1 and the concrete mounting seat 3. Several sets of thick steel plates 15 are located inside the concrete mounting seat 3. Pre-embedded bolts 12 are plug-welded to the top of the thick steel plates 15. Polymer board clamps 13 are installed around the periphery of the pre-embedded bolts 12. There are two sets of polymer board clamps 13. Tie bolts 14 are installed between the two sets of polymer board clamps 13. After the polymer board clamps 13 replace the metal clamps, the corrosion rate of the connectors is reduced and the maintenance cycle is extended. Furthermore, the plug-welding process of the pre-embedded bolts 12 avoids exposed threads and reduces disassembly difficulties caused by mud and sand blockage.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 The concrete base 1 is equipped with suspension rods 2 around the top. The suspension rods 2 and the steel wire ropes 5 are used together to support the remote adjustment of the support depth from the shore, eliminating the need for diving operations and improving operational safety.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 The surface of the lifting rod 2 is connected to a steel wire rope 5, and one end of the steel wire rope 5 is connected to a retaining ring 6. The retaining ring 6 and the anchoring steel wire rope 7 can be quickly disassembled, which facilitates the temporary recovery of the equipment during the flood peak.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 One end of the retaining ring 6 is connected to the anchor float steel wire rope 7, and the other end of the anchor float steel wire rope 7 is connected to the anchor float 8. The anchor float steel wire rope 7 is used to connect and fix the anchor float 8.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 The top of the anchor float 8 is equipped with a GPS guide 9 and a solar warning light 10. The anchor float 8 is connected to the support through the anchor float steel wire rope 7 and floats on the water surface. The GPS guide 9 uploads location data to the monitoring terminal in real time, and the solar warning light 10 flashes red light at night to assist in rapid positioning.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Mounting holes 11 are provided at the positions between the polymer board clamps 13 and at the top center of the concrete mounting base 3. The mounting holes 11 facilitate the installation and use of the water flow velocity meter.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 The thick steel plate 15 has openings on its surface. The openings are designed to facilitate the insertion of the pre-embedded bolts 12, which in turn facilitates the subsequent plug welding process.
[0039] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: Double-limb hoops 4 are pre-embedded during the pouring of the concrete base 1 to form an internal steel reinforcement skeleton, significantly improving the compressive strength of the base and resisting cracking caused by water erosion and sediment accumulation. Simultaneously, multiple sets of thick steel plates 15 are layered within the concrete mounting base 3, and pre-embedded bolts 12 are used to form multi-point anchorage, dispersing the impact load of the water flow and preventing structural deformation due to localized stress concentration. Then, the velocimeter is placed between two sets of polymer plate clamps 13, and the clamping device is secured by tightening the tie bolts 14. The corrosion resistance and elastic deformation characteristics of polymer materials (such as polytetrafluoroethylene) not only avoid electrochemical corrosion caused by metal contact but also adapt to different... The dimensional velocimeter is fixed in place. Then, the steel wire rope 5 and the retaining ring 6 are connected by the suspension rod 2. The length of the steel wire rope 5 is adjusted to control the water depth of the support. The suspension rod 2 and the steel wire rope 5 work together to support remote adjustment of the support depth from the shore, eliminating the need for diving operations and improving operational safety. The retaining ring 6 is made of stainless steel and designed with anti-slip texture to ensure a firm connection of the anchor float steel wire rope 7. Then, the anchor float 8 is connected to the support through the anchor float steel wire rope 7 and floats on the water surface. The GPS beacon 9 uploads location data to the monitoring terminal in real time, and the solar warning light 10 flashes red light at night to assist in rapid positioning. The device as a whole has the advantages of strong environmental adaptability, optimized impact resistance and stability, and safe installation.
[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
