[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a water level monitoring device for a reservoir, comprising a reservoir dam body 1, a first fixed base 2, and a second fixed base 3. Both the first fixed base 2 and the second fixed base 3 are detachably mounted on the surface of the reservoir dam body 1. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first fixed base 2, and a transverse support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second fixed base 3. An adjustable support arm 6 is rotatably connected to the end of the transverse support plate 5, and the end of the adjustable support arm 6 away from the transverse support plate 5 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting plate 4. The lower surface of the transverse support plate 5... The surface is equipped with a water level detector 7, a limit rod 8, and a threaded adjustment rod 9. The water level detector 7 can be an ultrasonic water level gauge or a radar water level gauge. Both the water level detector 7 and the limit rod 8 are fixedly connected to the transverse support plate 5. The threaded adjustment rod 9 is rotatably connected to the transverse support plate 5. The outer surface of the threaded adjustment rod 9 is threadedly connected to a movable plate 10, and the movable plate 10 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limit rod 8. The surface of the reservoir dam 1 is also equipped with a warning water level line 11. A panoramic camera 12 facing the warning water level line 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 10.

[0024] The water level can be monitored in real time by setting up the water level detector 7. When the water level detector 7 fails, the movable plate 10 can be limited by rotating the threaded adjustment rod 9 in conjunction with the limit rod 8. The height of the movable plate 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the movable plate 10. The height of the panoramic camera 12 can be adjusted by using the panoramic camera 12 to capture the situation where the warning water level line 11 is submerged. The water level height can be determined. This monitoring device has two monitoring systems. When one monitoring system fails, the other monitoring system can be used for monitoring, which effectively improves practicality and adaptability.

[0025] A servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transverse support plate 5, and the rotating end of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded adjustment rod 9. By setting the servo motor 13, the threaded adjustment rod 9 can be driven to rotate automatically, thereby automatically adjusting the height of the panoramic camera 12. The panoramic camera 12 can be used to conveniently view the condition of the reservoir dam 1, which is conducive to timely detection of cracks and other dangerous situations.

[0026] Two mounting slots are provided on the surface of the reservoir dam body 1. The inner wall of the mounting slot is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 14. The first fixing seat 2 and the second fixing seat 3 each include an upper positioning plate 15, a lower positioning plate 16, a pressure block 17 and a pin 18. The upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16 are movably installed in the mounting slot. The pin 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16, and the pin 18 can fit into the snap-fit ​​hole 14. The pressure block 17 is movably installed between the upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16, and the surfaces of the upper positioning plate 15, the lower positioning plate 16 and the pressure block 17 are threadedly connected with a fixing bolt 19.

[0027] By setting up a first fixed seat 2 and a second fixed seat 3, and using the pin 18 to engage with the snap-fit ​​hole 14, and with the fixing bolt 19 to fix the upper positioning plate 15, the lower positioning plate 16 and the pressure block 17, the first fixed seat 2 and the second fixed seat 3 can be fixedly installed on the surface of the reservoir dam body 1. Furthermore, the transverse support plate 5, the adjustable support arm 6 and the connecting rod form a triangular structure, which effectively improves the stability, gives it good wind resistance and extends its service life.

[0028] When installing the first fixed seat 2 and the second fixed seat 3, first insert the lower positioning plate 16 into the mounting groove, then insert the pin 18 on the surface of the lower positioning plate 16 into the snap-fit ​​hole 14, then insert the upper positioning plate 15 into the mounting groove, then insert the pin 18 on the surface of the upper positioning plate 15 into the snap-fit ​​hole 14, and finally insert the pressure block 17 into the mounting groove so that the pressure block 17 is located between the upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16. Then tighten the fixing bolt 19 and use the fixing bolt 19 to fix the upper positioning plate 15, the lower positioning plate 16 and the pressure block 17, thus completing the installation and fixing of the first fixed seat 2 and the second fixed seat 3.

[0029] The surfaces of the upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16 are both provided with grooves 20. The upper and lower surfaces of the pressure block 17 are fixedly connected with protrusions 21, and the protrusions 21 can fit and engage with the grooves 20. By setting the grooves 20 and the protrusions 21, and by using the grooves 20 and the protrusions 21 to fit and engage with each other, the connection between the upper positioning plate 15 and the lower positioning plate 16 and the pressure block 17 can be made more secure, making the pressure block 17 less prone to shaking.

[0030] The adjustable support arm 6 includes a movable arm 22, an outer sleeve 23, and a positioning bolt 24. The movable arm 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer sleeve 23. The surface of the movable arm 22 has multiple threaded holes 25. The positioning bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the surface of the outer sleeve 23 and can be threadedly connected to the threaded holes 25. By setting the adjustable support arm 6, the overall length of the adjustable support arm 6 can be adjusted by sliding the movable arm 22 inside the outer sleeve. By screwing the positioning bolt 24 into the threaded holes 25, the movable arm 22 and the outer sleeve 23 can be relatively fixed. Adjusting the overall length of the adjustable support arm 6 facilitates the installation and fixing of the first fixed seat 2 and the second fixed seat 3 on the surface of the reservoir dam 1.

[0031] A battery 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal support plate 5, and a converter is built into the battery 26. A solar panel 27 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting plate 4 by bolts. The solar panel 27 is electrically connected to the battery 26. The water level detector 7, the panoramic camera 12, and the servo motor 13 are all electrically connected to the battery 26. By setting up the battery 26 and the solar panel 27, the solar energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery 26. The battery 26 can be used to discharge to power the water level detector 7, the panoramic camera 12, and the servo motor 13. In addition, the solar panel 27 can shield the bolts from rain, effectively avoiding the problem of the bolts rusting easily when exposed to rain.

[0032] Working principle: When this reservoir water level monitoring device is in use, the water level detector 7 first monitors the reservoir water level in real time and uploads the water level information to the terminal. When the water level detector 7 malfunctions, the servo motor 13 drives the threaded adjusting rod 9 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded adjusting rod 9, in conjunction with the limit rod 8, limits the movable plate 10, allowing adjustment of the height of the movable plate 10. Adjusting the height of the movable plate 10 adjusts the height of the panoramic camera 12, which then captures images of the warning water level line 11 being submerged and uploads the images to the terminal to determine the water level. This monitoring device has two monitoring systems; if one system malfunctions, the other can be used, effectively improving practicality and adaptability.

Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0034] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
