Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water monitoring technology, specifically relating to a monitoring device for water management. Background Technology
[0002] Water is the source of human life, but with the development of cities, water pollution problems are becoming more and more serious. Water resource supervision and management have become a major problem in urban development. Untimely water quality monitoring and untimely flood warnings are directly related to people's livelihood. Therefore, it is necessary to install water monitoring devices at water sources and along rivers.
[0003] Current methods typically use cameras for water monitoring. To improve the camera's shooting angle, the cameras are usually installed at a high position. When a camera malfunctions and needs repair, staff need to climb to a higher position, which is not only inconvenient for repairs but also poses a significant safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water management monitoring device with a simple structure and reasonable design in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A water management monitoring device includes a base, a support structure fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base, and a camera for water monitoring mounted on the support structure. The support structure includes a lower support rod whose bottom end is fixed to the upper surface of the base. A connecting groove is formed at the top end of the lower support rod. A connecting plate with an upper support rod fixedly connected to its top end is disposed above the connecting groove. The bottom end of the connecting plate extends into the connecting groove. A pin is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate. The bottom end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting groove via the pin. A limit bolt movably passes through the side wall of the connecting groove above the pin. The middle section of the limit bolt passes through the middle section of the connecting plate and is slidably connected to the connecting plate. An ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the middle section of the upper support rod. A support ring is fixedly connected to the lower support rod on the side of the connecting groove near the ear plate. A steel cable is fixedly connected to the ear plate. The bottom end of the steel cable passes through the support ring and is slidably connected to the support ring.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the base is a rectangular plate structure, and fixing holes are provided on the periphery of the base. Multiple right-angled blocks distributed in a ring are welded at the connection between the bottom end of the lower support rod and the base.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the bottom end of the connecting plate has a semi-circular structure, and a gap is left between the bottom end of the connecting plate and the bottom wall of the connecting groove for the connecting plate to rotate.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, two clamps are fixedly sleeved on the middle section of the upper support rod, and the same power distribution box is fixedly installed on the two clamps. The camera is electrically connected to the power distribution box.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, a bracket is fixedly installed at the top of the upper support rod, and a photovoltaic panel is installed obliquely on the bracket. The photovoltaic panel is electrically connected to the distribution box.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the diameter of the steel cable is smaller than the inner diameter of the support ring, and the outer surface of the steel cable is coated with an anti-rust coating.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. When it is necessary to repair the camera installed at the top of the upper support rod, the limit bolt can be pulled out, and the end of the steel cable located below the support ring can be pulled. Then, the steel cable can be slowly released, allowing the upper support rod to rotate slowly around the pin until the camera installed at the top of the upper support rod is rotated to a suitable height. At this time, the user can tie and fix the steel cable to the support ring, and then inspect the camera installed at the top of the upper support rod from the ground without having to climb to a high place. This not only makes the repair convenient but also greatly reduces the safety hazards during the repair.
[0014] 2. A tilted photovoltaic panel is installed at the top of the upper support rod via a bracket. When there is sunlight, the photovoltaic panel can convert light energy into electrical energy and store it in the built-in power supply installed in the distribution box to power the camera installed on the upper support rod. This can greatly save energy and is more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0021] Example
[0022] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a water management monitoring device includes a base 1, which has a rectangular plate structure. Fixing holes 2 are provided around the base 1. During installation, external ground nails can be passed through the fixing holes 2 to fix the base 1 to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the base 1 installation.
[0023] A support structure is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. A camera 10 for water monitoring is installed on the support structure. The camera 10 records the real-time status of the water source or river and transmits the data remotely via a wireless network to achieve real-time monitoring of water management.
[0024] The support structure includes a lower support rod 3 whose bottom end is fixed to the upper surface of the base 1. Multiple ring-shaped right-angle blocks 4 are welded at the connection between the bottom end of the lower support rod 3 and the base 1. The two right-angled sides of the right-angle blocks 4 are fixed to the upper surface of the base 1 and the side wall of the lower support rod 3, respectively, to improve the stability of the installation of the lower support rod 3 and the base 1.
[0025] The lower support rod 3 has a connecting groove 5 at its top end. Above the connecting groove 5, there is a connecting plate 6 with the upper support rod 9 fixedly connected to its top end. The bottom end of the connecting plate 6 has a semi-circular structure and extends into the connecting groove 5. A pin 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 6. The bottom end of the connecting plate 6 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting groove 5 through the pin 7. A gap is left between the bottom end of the connecting plate 6 and the bottom wall of the connecting groove 5 for the connecting plate 6 to rotate. When the connecting plate 6 is subjected to external force, it can rotate around the pin 7, which drives the upper support rod 9 connected to the connecting plate 6 to rotate synchronously, thereby adjusting the angle between the upper support rod 9 and the lower support rod 3.
[0026] A limiting bolt 8 is movable through the side wall of the connecting groove 5 above the pin 7. The middle section of the limiting bolt 8 passes through the middle section of the connecting plate 6 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 6. When the upper support rod 9 rotates to be collinear with the lower support rod 3, the user can pass the limiting bolt 8 through the side wall of the connecting groove 5 and the middle section of the connecting plate 6 to achieve relative fixation of the upper support rod 9 and the lower support rod 3, thereby providing stable support for the camera 10 installed on the top of the upper support rod 9.
[0027] An ear plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the middle section of the upper support rod 9. A support ring 15 is fixedly connected to the lower support rod 3 on the side of the connecting groove 5 near the ear plate 14. A steel cable 16 is fixedly connected to the ear plate 14. The bottom end of the steel cable 16 passes through the support ring 15 and is slidably connected to the support ring 15. When it is necessary to repair the camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9, the limit bolt 8 can be pulled out and the end of the steel cable 16 located below the support ring 15 can be pulled. Then the steel cable 16 is slowly released, so that the upper support rod 9 rotates slowly around the pin 7 until the camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9 is rotated to a suitable height. At this time, the user can tie and fix the steel cable 16 to the support ring 15. The camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9 can be repaired on the ground without climbing to a high place. This not only makes the repair convenient but also greatly reduces the safety hazards during the repair.
[0028] The diameter of the steel cable 16 is smaller than the inner diameter of the support ring 15, and the outer surface of the steel cable 16 is coated with an anti-rust coating. Setting the diameter of the steel cable 16 to be smaller minimizes frictional resistance between the steel cable 16 and the inner wall of the support ring 15 when the user pulls the steel cable 16, thus avoiding impacts on user experience. The anti-rust coating on the outer surface of the steel cable 16 minimizes the risk of rust from rainwater corrosion when exposed to the external environment, thus extending its service life.
[0029] Two clamps 12 are fixedly fitted on the middle section of the upper support rod 9. The same power distribution box 11 is fixedly installed on the two clamps 12. The camera 10 is electrically connected to the power distribution box 11. The clamps 12 are used to install and fix the power distribution box 11 on the upper support rod 9 to supply power to the camera 10.
[0030] A bracket 17 is fixedly installed at the top of the upper support rod 9. A photovoltaic panel 13 is installed at an angle on the bracket 17. The photovoltaic panel 13 is electrically connected to the distribution box 11. By setting the photovoltaic panel 13 to receive solar energy during the day, the light energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the mobile power supply in the distribution box 11, which can greatly save energy.
[0031] It should be noted that when the camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9 needs to be repaired, the limiting bolt 8 can be pulled out, and the end of the steel cable 16 located below the support ring 15 can be pulled. Then, the steel cable 16 is slowly released, causing the upper support rod 9 to slowly rotate around the pin 7 until the camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9 is rotated to a suitable height. At this time, the user can tie and fix the steel cable 16 to the support ring 15, and then inspect the camera 10 installed at the top of the upper support rod 9 from the ground without having to climb to a high place. This not only makes the repair convenient but also greatly reduces the safety hazards during the repair. After the repair is completed, the user pulls the steel cable 16 down to drive the upper support rod 9 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 7 until the connecting plate 6 at the bottom of the upper support rod 9 rotates to be collinear with the lower support rod 3. At this time, the user re-inserts the limiting bolt 8 through the top side wall of the connecting groove 5 and the middle section of the connecting plate 6 to fix the upper support rod 9 and the lower support rod 3 relative to each other.
[0032] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
