Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological data acquisition antennas, specifically, to a signal enhancement antenna for a hydrological data acquisition device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of hydrological data acquisition, existing antenna technologies have some shortcomings that limit the effectiveness and efficiency of data acquisition. Specifically: Poor signal strength and stability: Traditional hydrological data acquisition antennas, limited by structural design and technological capabilities, exhibit relatively weak signal strength. In complex hydrological environments, such as areas with vast water areas, obstructions, or strong electromagnetic interference, signals are easily attenuated and interfered with, leading to unstable data transmission, increased packet loss rates, and an inability to acquire hydrological data in a timely and accurate manner, thus affecting real-time monitoring and analysis of hydrological conditions.
[0003] Insufficient installation and usage flexibility: Existing antennas typically have a fixed structure and cannot be flexibly adjusted to different usage scenarios and needs. During installation, specific installation conditions and specialized tools may be required, making installation difficult and adaptable to different installation locations and angles. Furthermore, during use, the antenna's height and angle parameters cannot be flexibly adjusted to optimize signal reception and transmission.
[0004] Limited antenna layout and scalability: Some traditional antenna structures are equipped with only one or a few antennas, resulting in a narrow signal coverage area that is difficult to meet the hydrological data acquisition needs of large water areas or complex terrain. Moreover, when it is necessary to add monitoring points or expand the monitoring range, it is difficult to easily expand and adjust the antenna layout, which limits the scalability and adaptability of the system.
[0005] Lack of signal amplification and enhancement mechanisms: Some existing antennas lack signal amplification capabilities, making it impossible to effectively enhance weak hydrological data signals, resulting in inaccurate data acquisition in areas with weak signals. Signal attenuation is even more pronounced during long-distance data transmission, affecting both the transmission distance and quality.
[0006] The structural design is flawed: some antennas lack robustness and durability, making them susceptible to damage in harsh hydrological environments such as strong winds, heavy rain, and wave impacts, thus affecting their lifespan and normal operation. Furthermore, the structural design of some antennas hinders maintenance and repair, increasing operating costs and maintenance difficulty. Therefore, we propose an improved signal-enhancing antenna for hydrological data acquisition devices. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems raised in the existing background technology. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a signal enhancement antenna for a hydrological data acquisition device, comprising a base magnetic block and a hydrological data acquisition device antenna base disposed above the base magnetic block. An antenna connecting cable is provided on one side of the hydrological data acquisition device antenna base. The first end of the antenna connecting cable is connected to a cable plug, and the tail end of the cable plug is fitted with an insulating outer cylinder. The antenna connecting cable is embedded inside the insulating outer cylinder.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, an antenna support rod is provided on the top of the antenna base of the hydrological data collector, and a trapezoidal connecting block is connected between the antenna base of the hydrological data collector and the antenna support rod.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a primary antenna telescopic rod is fixed above the top of the antenna support rod, a secondary antenna telescopic rod is embedded inside the primary antenna telescopic rod, and the top of the secondary antenna telescopic rod is connected to the main antenna rod of the hydrological data acquisition device.

Each antenna socket is connected to an antenna angle adjustment shaft.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the main antenna of the hydrological data collector is embedded in the socket of the antenna socket. The main antenna of the hydrological data collector is also provided with eight antennas, corresponding to the antenna socket.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, an antenna tripod is installed between the secondary telescopic rod of the antenna and the main antenna rod of the hydrological data collector, and U-shaped slots are embedded on the outer sides of both sides of the antenna tripod.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, an antenna folding rod is installed inside the antenna tripod, and the antenna folding rod is tilted at a 45-degree angle. An antenna folding clamp passes through the antenna folding rod and is located on the U-shaped slot.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a secondary antenna insertion hole is provided inside the antenna folding rod, and the secondary antenna rod passes through the insertion hole. A signal amplifier is installed outside the antenna tripod.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By arranging multiple main antennas of the hydrological data acquisition device in a linear array, this invention can receive signals from different angles and directions, greatly increasing the signal reception range and strength. Simultaneously, the addition of secondary antenna masts further supplements the signal reception capability, especially in complex environments or areas with weak signals, effectively capturing more signals. Furthermore, the signal amplifier amplifies both the received and transmitted signals, significantly improving signal strength and quality, ensuring that the hydrological data acquisition device can accurately and stably receive and transmit data.
[0016] This invention combines a multi-antenna layout with signal amplification, reducing signal loss and interference and making signal transmission more stable. Even in harsh weather conditions or environments with strong electromagnetic interference, it maintains good signal reception and transmission performance, ensuring the continuity and reliability of hydrological data acquisition.
[0017] The structure of the primary and secondary telescopic antenna masts of this invention allows users to flexibly adjust the antenna height according to the actual environment and needs. In open areas, the antenna can be raised to obtain better signal coverage, while in space-constrained areas, the antenna height can be lowered to avoid being affected by obstacles.
[0018] Each main antenna of this utility model is equipped with an antenna angle adjustment shaft, allowing users to precisely adjust the antenna angle according to the direction of the signal source, maximizing the antenna's alignment with the signal source and improving signal reception and transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, the antenna folding rod can be angled and folded via an antenna folding clamp on a U-shaped slot, facilitating use and storage in various scenarios.
[0019] The magnetic block on the base of this invention can firmly adhere to a metal surface. Its powerful signal receiving and transmitting capabilities ensure that the hydrological data acquisition device can collect various hydrological data in a timely and accurate manner, and transmit it quickly and stably to the receiving end. This is of great significance for real-time monitoring of hydrological information and timely decision-making, and helps improve the efficiency and accuracy of hydrological monitoring.

An antenna connection cable 3 is provided on one side of the antenna base 2, with a cable plug 4 connected to the first end of the cable connection cable 3 and an insulating outer cylinder 5 installed at the tail end of the cable plug 4. The antenna connection cable 3 is embedded inside the insulating outer cylinder 5. An antenna support rod 6 is provided on the top of the hydrological data acquisition device antenna base 2, and a trapezoidal connecting block 7 connects the hydrological data acquisition device antenna base 2 and the antenna support rod 6. A primary antenna telescopic rod 8 is fixed above the top of the antenna support rod 6, and a secondary antenna telescopic rod 9 is embedded inside the primary antenna telescopic rod 8. The top of the secondary antenna telescopic rod 9 is connected to the main antenna rod 10 of the hydrological data acquisition device.
[0030] An antenna socket 11 is installed on the front of the main antenna mast 10 of the hydrological data acquisition device. There are eight antenna sockets 11 arranged in a linear array. Each antenna socket 11 is connected to an antenna angle adjustment shaft 12. The main antenna 13 of the hydrological data acquisition device is embedded in the socket 11. There are also eight main antennas 13 of the hydrological data acquisition device, corresponding to the antenna sockets 11.
[0031] An antenna tripod 14 is installed between the secondary telescopic antenna mast 9 and the main antenna mast 10 of the hydrological data acquisition unit. U-shaped slots 15 are embedded on the outer sides of both sides of the antenna tripod 14. An antenna folding rod 16 is installed inside the antenna tripod 14, and the antenna folding rod 16 is tilted at a 45-degree angle. An antenna folding clamp 17 passes through the antenna folding rod 16 and is located on the U-shaped slots 15. A secondary antenna socket 18 is provided inside the antenna folding rod 16, and a secondary antenna rod 19 passes through the socket 18. A signal amplifier 20 is installed outside the antenna tripod 14.
[0032] The main function of this antenna is to enhance the ability of the hydrological data acquisition device to receive and transmit signals. Through its adjustable structure, multi-antenna layout, and signal amplification device, it ensures that hydrological data can be effectively collected and transmitted under different environmental conditions.
[0033] The working principle of the signal enhancement antenna of the hydrological data acquisition device: The magnetic block 1 of the base is used to fix the entire antenna device on a suitable metal surface, providing a stable support foundation for the antenna and ensuring that the antenna will not shake or shift during use, thereby ensuring the stability of signal reception and transmission.
[0034] The trapezoidal connecting block 7 is connected to the antenna support rod 6, ensuring the stability of the antenna structure. Meanwhile, the antenna connecting cable 3 on one side is used to connect to the hydrological data acquisition device to realize data transmission.

The insulating outer tube 5 protects the cable plug 4 and prevents signal interference. The signal received by the antenna is transmitted to the hydrological data acquisition device through the antenna connecting cable 3, and the signal to be transmitted by the hydrological data acquisition device is also transmitted to the antenna through this cable for transmission.

The U-shaped slots 15 on both sides of the antenna tripod 14 cooperate with the antenna folding clamps 17 inside the antenna folding rod 16, allowing the antenna folding rod 16 to be folded and unfolded as needed.
[0040] The secondary antenna socket 18 inside the antenna folding rod 16 is used to insert the secondary antenna rod 19.

[0045] Install the telescopic mast and main antenna mast: Fix the primary telescopic mast 8 above the top of the antenna support mast 6, then embed the secondary telescopic mast 9 inside the primary telescopic mast 8 and adjust it to a suitable height. Finally, connect the main antenna mast 10 of the hydrological data acquisition unit to the top of the secondary telescopic mast 9.
[0046] Install the main antenna: Insert the eight hydrological data acquisition unit main antennas 13 into the corresponding antenna sockets 11, and adjust the antenna angle by using the antenna angle adjustment shaft 12 to make it roughly aligned with the direction of the signal source.

[0054] Adjust the angle of the antenna folding rod 16 and the position of the secondary antenna rod 19, observe the changes in signal strength, and find the optimal working state of the secondary antenna to enhance the signal reception and transmission capabilities of the entire antenna system.
[0055] 4. Signal amplifier debugging
[0056] Adjust the gain parameters of signal amplifier 20 according to the required signal strength and quality. During the adjustment process, closely monitor the signal display of the hydrological data acquisition device to ensure that the signal strength is moderate and avoid the signal being too strong or too weak.
[0057] Antenna Usage: After the antenna is installed and debugged, regularly monitor the signal strength and data transmission of the hydrological data acquisition device. Record the trend of signal strength changes to promptly identify potential problems.
[0058] After the hydrological data acquisition device collects hydrological data, the data is transmitted to the antenna via antenna connection cable 3. The antenna transmits the data signal, which is then amplified by signal amplifier 20 before being transmitted to the receiving end, thus realizing remote data transmission.
