[0030] Urban road waterlogging monitoring is a key measure to address the challenges of urbanization and climate change, involving urban infrastructure management, disaster prevention, and public safety. With the expansion of urban size and population growth, the increase in impervious surfaces leads to reduced rainwater infiltration, increasing the risk of surface runoff and waterlogging. Extreme weather events such as heavy rain and typhoons caused by global climate change put a huge pressure on urban drainage systems, especially when old urban drainage facilities cannot meet the current drainage demand. Road waterlogging not only affects traffic and citizen travel safety, but also may cause safety hazards such as road collapse, and pollutes urban water bodies and the ecological environment, resulting in economic losses.

[0031] In the related art, the waterlogging monitoring of urban roads cannot be linked with the drainage pipe, and can only achieve the effect of simply monitoring the water depth. The existing device monitors the water level through electronic infrared remote sensing technology, and finally displays the water depth information on the screen. If the electronic device such as infrared sensor is blocked by pollution, the water depth display will be incorrect, pedestrians are easy to misjudge the water depth, and some people think that the electronic display prompt water depth is unreliable because they cannot intuitively feel the water depth, and often blindly pass through the waterlogging area, resulting in safety hazards. In order to improve the above technical problems to some extent, the application embodiment provides a waterlogging monitoring device.

[0032] Next, the application embodiments will be described in conjunction with the drawings:

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The application embodiment provides a waterlogging monitoring device 10 applied to urban roads. The waterlogging monitoring device 10 provided by the application embodiment can be installed on one side of the entrance and exit of low-lying road sections, tunnels, bridge holes, etc.

[0034] In the application embodiment, the waterlogging monitoring device 10 includes a base 100, a shell 200, and a floating ball 300. The base 100 has a sewer inlet 130 for communicating with a sewer passage; the shell 200 is installed on the base 100, the shell 200 has a floating inner cavity 210 and a water inlet 220 communicating with the floating inner cavity 210, and the floating inner cavity 210 communicates with the sewer inlet 130, the floating ball 300 is movably arranged in the floating inner cavity 210, and the floating ball 300 can block the sewer inlet 130; wherein the shell 200 has a transparent part 242 arranged along the height direction.

[0035] The urban road has a sewer passage, and the base 100 is used to be placed on the ground of the urban road, and the base 100 has a sewer inlet 130 for communicating with the sewer passage. Specifically, the waterlogging monitoring device 10 further includes a sewer pipe 400, and the sewer pipe 400 is used to communicate the sewer inlet 130 and the sewer passage.

[0036] The shell 200 is mounted on the base 100, i.e. the shell 200 is fixedly connected with the base 100, so as to avoid the shell 200 from falling down or deviating. Since the shell 200 is used for monitoring the water level, the water level rises along the height direction, and therefore the shell 200 is arranged along the height direction. The shell 200 has a floating inner cavity 210 and a water inlet 220 communicating with the floating inner cavity 210, the water inlet 220 is arranged on the peripheral side of the shell 200, and the floating inner cavity 210 communicates with the sewer outlet 130. Of course, the water inlet 220 communicates with the outside, so that when it rains, rainwater enters the floating inner cavity 210 through the water inlet 220. The floating ball 300 is movably arranged in the floating inner cavity 210, i.e. the diameter of the floating ball 300 is smaller than the inner diameter of the floating inner cavity 210, and the floating ball 300 can block the sewer outlet 130, i.e. the diameter of the floating ball 300 is greater than the inner diameter of the sewer outlet 130.

[0037] In daily life without water accumulation, the floating ball 300 is located at the bottom of the shell 200 under the action of gravity and blocks the sewer outlet 130, so as to avoid the odor of the sewer passage from being emitted back. When it rains and water accumulates, the water enters the floating inner cavity 210 through the water inlet 220. After the rainwater enters the floating inner cavity 210, the rainwater first flows into the gap between the floating ball 300 and the inner wall of the floating inner cavity 210. As the water accumulation increases, the water level in the floating inner cavity 210 rises, and the floating ball 300 rises under the action of buoyancy. After the floating ball 300 rises, the sewer hole is exposed, and at this time the water can be discharged through the sewer outlet 130 to the municipal sewer passage. If the rain causes the discharge capacity of the sewer passage to be insufficient to drain, the water level outside will continue to rise. Since the floating inner cavity 210 and the outside are communicated and the atmospheric pressure is communicated, the water level in the floating inner cavity 210 will remain the same as the outside.

[0038] When the water level in the floating inner cavity 210 continues to rise, the floating ball 300 will rise with it. Since the shell 200 has a transparent portion 242 arranged along the height direction, i.e. the arrangement direction of the transparent portion 242 is consistent with the movement direction of the floating ball 300, pedestrians and drivers can observe the position of the floating ball 300 inside at a distance through the transparent portion 242 at this time, so as to judge the water accumulation height in front, and further improve the situation that pedestrians and drivers cannot judge the water depth due to excessive water depth, resulting in pedestrians and drivers blindly passing through due to underestimating the water level.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the transparent portion 242 is arranged in a staggered manner with the water inlet 220.

[0040] Obviously, the transparent portion 242 and the water inlet 220 are both arranged on the peripheral surface of the shell 200, and therefore in order to avoid the arrangement of the water inlet 220 from shielding the transparent portion 242 and affecting pedestrians from observing the position of the floating ball 300 inside the shell 200 through the transparent portion 242, the transparent portion 242 is arranged in a staggered manner with the water inlet 220, so that the transparent portion 242 and the water inlet 220 do not interfere with each other.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the shell 200 is provided with a height identification line 500, which is arranged adjacent to the transparent part 242.

[0042] Since the height identification line 500 is arranged adjacent to the transparent part 242, the pedestrian can accurately obtain the water level height by combining the height identification line 500 when observing the height of the floating ball 300 through the transparent part 242, thereby improving the accuracy of water level detection.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water inlet 220 has multiple, and the multiple water inlets 220 are arranged at intervals along the height direction.

[0044] In different rainwater accumulation levels, the external water level height is also different. In the case of only one water inlet 220, if the setting height of the water inlet 220 is too high, when the external water level is low, the rainwater cannot enter the floating inner cavity 210 through the water inlet 220, and if the setting height of the water inlet 220 is too low, when the external water level is high, that is, the external rainwater accumulation is serious, the rainwater can only enter the floating inner cavity 210 through one water inlet 220, resulting in too low drainage efficiency. Therefore, the water inlet 220 has multiple, and the multiple water inlets 220 are arranged at intervals along the height direction, that is, the water inlets 220 are arranged at each height position. In this way, when the external water level is low, the rainwater can also enter the floating inner cavity 210 through the water inlet 220, and when the external water level is high, the rainwater can enter the floating inner cavity 210 through multiple water inlets 220, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rainwater monitoring device 10 further comprises an interception net 221, which is installed on the inner wall of the floating inner cavity 210 and covers the water inlet 220. Therefore, when the rainwater enters the floating inner cavity 210 through the water inlet 220, the interception net 221 can intercept impurities such as leaves outside, so as to avoid the impurities such as leaves from entering the floating inner cavity 210 as much as possible, thereby affecting the movement of the floating ball 300 and blocking the drainage channel.

[0046] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the shell 200 comprises a main body 230 and a mounting member 240, the main body 230 and the mounting member 240 are connected to form the floating inner cavity 210, the transparent part 242 is arranged on the mounting member 240, and the water inlet 220 is arranged on the main body 230.

[0047] The transparent part 242 is made of transparent material, and the part of the shell 200 other than the transparent part 242 can be made of metal, plastic or the like. Since the material of the transparent part 242 is different from that of the other part, in order to facilitate the manufacture of the shell 200, the shell 200 is made into a split structure including the main body 230 and the mounting member 240, the main body 230 and the mounting member 240 are connected to form the floating inner cavity 210, the transparent part 242 is arranged on the mounting member 240, and the water inlet 220 is arranged on the main body 230, so that the transparent part 242 and the water inlet 220 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0048] In some embodiments, the top of the main body 230 is open, and one side of the main body 230 has an opening, the mounting member 240 includes a cover 241 and a transparent plate, the cover 241 is mounted on the opening, the transparent plate is mounted on the opening, that is, the floating inner cavity 210 is formed, and the transparent plate is configured as the transparent part 242. The cover 241 and the transparent plate can be integrally arranged to reduce the manufacturing and mounting steps of the mounting member 240 and simplify the structure of the shell 200.

[0049] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the side wall of the opening is provided with a sliding groove 231, and the side of the transparent plate is provided with a sliding block 243, and the sliding block 243 is in sliding cooperation with the sliding groove 231. Therefore, when the mounting member 240 is mounted, the sliding groove 231 is cooperated with the sliding block 243, and then the mounting member 240 is slid, so that the mounting member 240 is mounted on the main body 230.

[0050] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the base 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and a mounting seat 120 arranged on the bottom plate 110, and the shell 200 is mounted in the mounting seat 120, and the water outlet 130 penetrates the mounting seat 120 and the bottom plate 110.

[0051] When the base 100 is installed on the ground, a hole can be punched on the ground, and the base 100 is fixed on the ground through the expansion screw 140 and the fixing nut 150. That is, the expansion screw 140 is sequentially arranged in the mounting seat 120, the bottom plate 110 and the ground, and the fixing nut 150 is screwed on the expansion screw 140 and presses the mounting seat 120.

[0052] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water accumulation monitoring device 10 further includes a signal converter 600 and a sensing link 700 mounted in the floating inner cavity 210, the signal converter 600 and the sensing link 700 are signal connected, the floating ball 300 is slidably mounted on the sensing link 700, the sensing link 700 can detect the position signal of the floating ball 300, and the signal converter 600 can calculate the height of the floating ball 300 on the sensing link 700 according to the position signal.

[0053] In order to realize the effect of detecting the accumulated water, the accumulated water monitoring device 10 can further comprise a signal converter 600 fixedly installed at the top of the floating inner cavity 210, a sensing connecting rod 700 is installed on the signal converter 600, and a floating ball 300 is slidingly installed on the sensing connecting rod 700; when the floating ball 300 floats on the sensing connecting rod 700, the sensing connecting rod 700 can transmit the detected position signal to the signal converter 600; by using the principle of magnetic coupling, the signal converter 600 can calculate the height of the floating ball 300 on the sensing connecting rod 700, so as to realize the function of an electronic water gauge. The signal converter 600 can be connected with a municipal digital alarm system; when the signal converter 600 detects that the floating ball 300 floats to a certain height, information is sent to the early warning center, so that the early warning center can receive the alarm that the accumulated water at the place exceeds the preset value, thereby facilitating the early warning center to quickly obtain the accumulated water information, and realizing the monitoring effect.

[0054] Specifically, the signal converter 600 can adopt a NOVO TECHNIK signal converter, and the sensing connecting rod 700 can adopt a potentiometer type sensing connecting rod.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including all the preferred embodiments and all the changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present application.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent technologies, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
