The detection component is placed on the water surface, while the analysis component 1 is fixed to the ground. The detection component and the analysis component 1 are connected by a transmission pipe 5. The detection module includes a floating ball 4, the bottom of which is tightly connected to a sampling housing 11. The sampling housing 11 is sealed, and a counterweight 2 is provided at the bottom of the sampling housing 11. The counterweight 2 includes a gravity cone, which is fixed to the bottom of the sampling housing 11 by a steel wire rope, increasing the stability of the entire device. A water pipe 6 is provided inside the sampling housing 11, and the water pipe 6 is located inside the transmission pipe 5. A water pump 16 is provided on the water pipe 6. One end of the water pipe 6 passes through the floating ball 4 and is connected to the water quality analyzer, while the other end has a water inlet 13, which contains a filter screen 14. Several sensors 12 are provided on the outside of the sampling housing 11. The sensors and the water pump 16 are electrically connected to a controller 9, which is also electrically connected to the water quality analyzer. The controller 9, by electrically connecting the sensors 12 and the water pump 16, realizes automated control of the water quality monitoring process. This not only reduces labor costs but also improves operational safety and accuracy.

[0025] Example 2: A float-type water quality monitoring device, wherein the sensor 12 includes a temperature sensor, a conductivity sensor, a pH sensor, a water level sensor, and a water flow sensor. These sensors are located on the outside of the sampling housing 11 and are all connected to the controller 9. By integrating multiple sensors 12, comprehensive and real-time monitoring of water quality can be achieved. Combined with the wireless transmission module 3, monitoring data can be promptly sent to a computer for display, analysis, and recording, greatly improving monitoring efficiency and accuracy.

[0026] The water pump 16 is a metering pump, which can accurately control the amount of water sample extracted, thus helping to improve the accuracy and reliability of water quality analysis.

[0027] The floating ball 4 is equipped with an air outlet 7 and an air inlet 8. The air inlet 8 has an inlet valve connected to a compressed gas tank, which is located inside the sampling housing 11. The air outlet 7 has an outlet valve, and both the inlet and outlet valves are connected to the controller 9. The air inlet 8 and outlet 7 on the floating ball 4, along with the inlet and outlet valves and the connected compressed gas tank, allow the floating ball to adjust its depth in the water as needed, ensuring monitoring can be conducted at different depths. The floating ball 4 has a central cavity 15, which is sealed to the transmission pipe 5.

[0031] The filter screen 14 is arc-shaped and protrudes outward; after the device is lifted out of the water, impurities can fall off along the arc surface, avoiding blockage of the water inlet. Everything else is the same as in Example 1.

[0032] In use, the detection component is placed in water, and the inflation and deflation of the floating ball 4 are controlled by the controller 9, so that the water inlet 13 of the sampling housing 11 is 0.5 meters below the water surface. The water pump 16 is turned on, and a certain mass of water sample is pumped through the water pump 16 and the water pipe 6 according to the set sampling volume. The water sample enters the water quality analyzer to test the water sample's color, organic matter, metal content and other indicators. Each sensor starts working and collects water quality data in real time, including temperature, pressure, flow direction, conductivity and pH value. The measured data is processed by the control module and then transmitted to the computer by the wireless transmission module 3, and displayed on the screen for staff to record and analyze.
