Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hydrological monitoring equipment, and in particular relates to an anti-erosion water gauge. Background Technology

[0002] In 2024, influenced by factors such as the continued rise in global temperatures and the transition from El Niño to La Niña, the climate was quite abnormal, with the Fuchun River basin frequently experiencing heavy rainfall, resulting in both precipitation and total water inflow exceeding the average for the same period. The Fuchun River Hydropower Plant successfully managed a total of 12 floods throughout the year, with the largest flood of the year and the largest flood since the reservoir's construction having a peak flow of 16,500 m³ / s.

[0003] Due to frequent flooding, the stainless steel water gauge downstream of the dam has experienced peeling or detachment, which seriously affects the normal observation of the downstream water level, resulting in the inability to observe the water level or inaccurate observation results. Anti-scouring protection measures are urgently needed.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design an anti-erosion water gauge. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and design an anti-erosion water gauge. This anti-erosion water gauge has a simple structure and is easy to use. First, a protective cover is designed to protect the water gauge, and the main body of the water gauge is placed inside the protective cover. The protective cover blocks the water and protects the main body of the water gauge from most of the water flow. In addition, reinforcement components and water-blocking components are set to prevent the water flow from eroding. This solves the problem that stainless steel water gauges may peel off or fall off due to frequent flood erosion, thus affecting the normal observation of downstream water levels.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A type of anti-erosion water gauge,

[0009] Includes a protective cover and a water gauge body.

[0010] The protective cover is fixed to the side of the wall.

[0011] The water gauge body is housed inside the protective cover.

[0012] The water gauge body is fixed to the side of the wall.

[0013] The water gauge body is equipped with a reinforcing component at its end.

[0014] The reinforcing component includes a first reinforcing component and a second reinforcing component.

[0015] The first and second reinforcing components have the same structure.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first reinforcing component includes a first reinforcing plate, a second reinforcing plate, a third reinforcing plate, a fourth reinforcing plate, and a fifth reinforcing plate.

[0017] The first reinforcing plate is tightly attached to the side of the water gauge body by a second expansion screw, which passes through the first reinforcing plate and the water gauge body and extends into the wall.

[0018] The second reinforcing plate is perpendicular to the first reinforcing plate.

[0019] The third reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are arranged perpendicularly.

[0020] The fourth reinforcing plate is arranged perpendicularly to the third reinforcing plate.

[0021] The fifth reinforcing plate is tightly attached to the side of the wall using the third expansion bolt.

[0022] The third expansion bolt passes through the fifth reinforcing plate and extends into the interior of the wall.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a water-blocking component is also included.

[0024] The water-blocking component includes a first water-blocking element and a second water-blocking element.

[0025] The first water-blocking component is connected to the first reinforcing component.

[0026] The second water-blocking component is connected to the second reinforcing component.

[0027] The first and second water-blocking components have the same structure.

[0028] The first water-blocking component includes a first water-blocking plate.

[0029] The first water-blocking plate is in close contact with the end of the fifth reinforcing plate.

[0030] The first water-blocking plate is perpendicular to the side of the wall.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first water-blocking member further includes a second water-blocking plate.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first water-blocking plate is welded to the end of the fifth reinforcing plate.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective cover adopts an arc-shaped structure.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] 1. This utility model relates to anti-scour water gauges. The core of the invention is to protect the water gauge by designing a protective cover. The main body of the water gauge is placed inside the protective cover, and the protective cover blocks the water, thus preventing the main body of the water gauge from being frequently scoured by floods, which would cause the stainless steel water gauge downstream of the dam to peel off or fall off.

[0042] 2. The reinforcing components at the end of the water gauge body wrap around the end of the water gauge body by vertically arranged first and second reinforcing plates. The first and second reinforcing plates block the water flow and prevent the end of the water gauge body from being impacted by the water flow.

[0043] The reinforcement component is also equipped with a third and a fourth reinforcement plate, which increase the width of the second reinforcement plate, thereby increasing the second reinforcement plate's ability to withstand water flow erosion while minimizing the weight of the reinforcement component.

[0044] 3. The first baffle plate, the second baffle plate, and the side of the wall form a right triangle. The second baffle plate, which is set at an inclination, disperses the impact force on the water-blocking component to the wall and the first baffle plate, thus relieving part of the impact force of the water flow. The water-blocking component increases its service life by utilizing the stability of the triangle. Attached Figure Description

[0065] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0066] It should be noted that the structures, colors, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0067] Meanwhile, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in this specification are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0068] like Figures 1-3As shown, the present invention's anti-scouring water gauge includes a protective cover 1 and a water gauge body 2. The protective cover 1 is fixed to the side of the wall 5, and the water gauge body 2 is placed inside the protective cover 1 and fixed to the side of the wall 5. The existing water gauge body 2 is first fixed to the side of the wall 5, and then the protective cover 1 is covered on the side of the water gauge body 2 and fixed to the side of the wall 5. The protective cover 1 blocks the water, thus protecting the water gauge body 2 from most of the water flow scouring, avoiding the frequent scouring of the water gauge body 2 by floods, which would cause the stainless steel water gauge downstream of the dam to peel off or fall off.

[0069] The water gauge body 2 is provided with a reinforcing component at its end. The reinforcing component includes a first reinforcing component 3-1 and a second reinforcing component 3-2. The first reinforcing component 3-1 and the second reinforcing component 3-2 are respectively fixed at both ends of the water gauge body 2 to provide secondary reinforcement to the water gauge body 2.

[0070] The first reinforcing component 3-1 and the second reinforcing component 3-2 have the same structure, respectively fixing the two ends of the water gauge and nailing the main body 2 of the water gauge to the wall.

[0071] The first reinforcing component 3-1 includes a first reinforcing plate 3-1-1, a second reinforcing plate 3-1-2, a third reinforcing plate 3-1-3, a fourth reinforcing plate 3-1-4, and a fifth reinforcing plate 3-1-5. The first reinforcing plate 3-1-1 is tightly attached to the side of the water gauge body 2 by a second expansion screw 3-1-6. The second expansion screw 3-1-6 passes through the first reinforcing plate 3-1-1 and the water gauge body 2 and extends into the interior of the wall 5 to ensure the stability of the water gauge body 2.

[0072] The second reinforcing plate 3-1-2 is perpendicular to the first reinforcing plate 3-1-1, the third reinforcing plate 3-1-3 is perpendicular to the second reinforcing plate 3-1-2, and the fourth reinforcing plate 3-1-4 is perpendicular to the third reinforcing plate 3-1-3. The second reinforcing plate 3-1-2, the third reinforcing plate 3-1-3, the fourth reinforcing plate 3-1-4, and the wall form a rectangular frame to block the impact of water flow entering the protective cover 1 through the gaps. When the protective cover 1 malfunctions and cannot protect the water gauge body 2, the rectangular protrusion formed by the second reinforcing plate 3-1-2, the third reinforcing plate 3-1-3, and the fourth reinforcing plate 3-1-4 prevents the water gauge body 2 from being impacted by the water flow.

[0073] The fifth reinforcing plate 3-1-5 is tightly attached to the side of the wall 5 by the third expansion screw 3-1-7, which passes through the fifth reinforcing plate 3-1-5 and extends into the interior of the wall 5. This further secures the reinforcing components to prevent them from loosening or falling off due to water flow impact.

[0074] The reinforcing component contacts the water gauge body 2 through the first reinforcing plate 3-1-1 and is horizontally set with the water gauge body 2 to fix the water gauge body 2. In addition, the first reinforcing plate 3-1-1 and the second reinforcing plate 3-1-2 are set vertically to wrap around the end of the water gauge body 2 to protect the end of the water gauge body 2 and prevent the end of the water gauge body 2 from being impacted by the water flow.

[0075] Meanwhile, the reinforcement component is also equipped with a third reinforcement plate 3-1-3 and a fourth reinforcement plate 3-1-4. By increasing the width of the second reinforcement plate 3-1-2 through the two, the weight of the reinforcement component is reduced while increasing the water flow erosion resistance of the second reinforcement plate 3-1-2.

[0076] It also includes water-blocking components, which consist of a first water-blocking element and a second water-blocking element. The first water-blocking element is connected to the first reinforcing element 3-2, and the second water-blocking element is connected to the second reinforcing element 3-2. The first and second water-blocking elements have the same structure. The first water-blocking element includes a first water-blocking plate 4-1, which is closely attached to the end of the fifth reinforcing plate 3-1-5 and is perpendicular to the side of the wall 5. When the water flows, it first impacts the first water-blocking plate 4-1, and then impacts the reinforcing element, ensuring that the water flow impact on the water gauge body 2 is minimized.

[0077] The first water-blocking component also includes a second water-blocking plate 4-2. The second water-blocking plate 4-2 is inclined and connects the end of the first water-blocking plate 4-1 to the wall 5. The first water-blocking plate 4-1, the second water-blocking plate 4-2, and the side of the wall 5 form a right-angled triangle. The inclined second water-blocking plate 4-2 disperses the impact force received to the wall 5 and the first water-blocking plate 4-1, absorbing part of the impact force of the water flow. Furthermore, the right-angled triangle formed by the first water-blocking plate 4-1, the second water-blocking plate 4-2, and the side of the wall 5 increases the service life of the water-blocking component through the stability of the triangle.

[0078] A fixing plate 1-1 is provided at the end of the protective cover 1. The fixing plate 1-1 is fixed to the side of the wall 5 by a first expansion screw 1-2. The first expansion screw 1-2 passes through the fixing plate 1-1 and extends into the interior of the wall 5. This ensures that the protective cover 1 and the wall 5 are in close contact, effectively blocking water from entering the interior of the protective cover 1. This also protects the water gauge body 2 from most of the water flow, preventing the stainless steel water gauge body 2 from peeling or falling off.

[0079] The number of the first expansion screws 1-2 is not fixed, just enough to ensure that the protective cover 1 can be fixed to the wall 1.

[0080] The first baffle plate 4-1 is welded to the end of the fifth reinforcing plate 3-1-5. The welding is stable and reliable, ensuring that the first baffle plate 4-1 will not tilt when subjected to excessive water flow impact.

[0081] The protective cover 1 adopts an arc-shaped structure, which can play a certain buffering role when subjected to water flow impact.

[0082] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
