[0028] In combination Figures 2-4 , the embodiment provides a flood control automatic early warning system for road drainage system blockage early warning work.

[0029] In combination Figure 2 , the drainage system includes a sewer 2 arranged on the side of the green belt, a drain pipe 3 connected with the sewer 2 and the municipal pipe network, and a rainwater grate 1 arranged on the top of the sewer 2, wherein the early warning system mainly comprises a power supply, a water flow monitoring device 7 electrically connected with the power supply and in communication connection with a municipal monitoring system, a water level monitoring device 6 and an alarm device.

[0030] In combination Figure 3 and Figure 4The first placing bin 8 is vertically arranged on one side of the upper portion of the sewer 2, the water level monitoring device 6 is arranged in the first placing bin 8 and faces the sewer 2, and the second placing bin 9 is vertically arranged at the middle position of the drain pipe 3, the second placing bin 9 is perpendicular to the drain pipe 3, and the water flow monitoring device 7 is detachably arranged on the outer wall of the drain pipe 3 in the second placing bin 9.

[0031] The power supply includes a solar photovoltaic panel and a battery electrically connected with the solar photovoltaic panel, a fixing seat is further arranged in the green belt, the solar photovoltaic panel, the battery and the alarm device are arranged on the fixing seat, and the battery is electrically connected with the water flow monitoring device 7, the water level monitoring device 6 and the alarm device through the wire 5.

[0032] The solar photovoltaic panel, the battery and the alarm device are arranged on the fixing seat in the green belt, which can avoid occupying the road space and reduce the risk of human damage, and the alarm device can directly remind the repair personnel and the passing vehicles and pedestrians, so that the accurate risk avoidance and early warning processing are facilitated.

[0033] In combination with Figure 2 In order to quickly remove the fallen leaves and other sundries in the rainwater grate 1, one side of the rainwater grate 1 close to the green belt is hinged to the sewer 2, the other side is rotatably provided with a handle 11, and the upper side of the rainwater grate 1 is further provided with a storage groove corresponding to the handle 11.

[0034] The solar photovoltaic panel is arranged at an inclination of 15°-30°, and the upper side of the solar photovoltaic panel is free of obstructions, so that the daily power generation capacity can be increased by more than 20%.

[0035] The height of the fixing seat of the embodiment can be set according to actual conditions, for example, when a street lamp fixing rod 4 for installing a street lamp is arranged in the green belt, the fixing seat can be directly installed on the street lamp fixing rod 4, and the connection mode can adopt the prior art.

[0036] For the case that it is inconvenient to arrange the fixing seat on the street lamp fixing rod 4, the fixing seat is arranged in a hidden place of the green belt to improve the system safety.

[0037] In order to improve the system safety, the battery is preferably a waterproof and explosion-proof battery with an IP67 shell.

[0038] In some implementations, the sewer 2 is arranged at least in parallel with two sewers 2 to improve the drainage efficiency, and the first placing bin 8 is arranged between the two sewers 2 to facilitate the water level monitoring device 6 to monitor the water level of the two sewers 2.

[0039] As preferred, the water level monitoring device 6 is a non-contact water level sensor to avoid direct contact with sewage, reduce maintenance frequency, and the first placement bin 8 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape and is made of transparent high-density polyethylene material, specifically UV-resistant high-density polyethylene, and the inner wall is provided with an anti-fog coating, and two non-contact water level sensors are arranged in the first placement bin 8 and face the two sewers 2 respectively to monitor the water level of the two sewers 2.

[0040] As preferred, the water flow monitoring device 7 is an outer clamping ultrasonic sensor, which can be clamped on the outer ring of the drain pipe 3 without the need for opening, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the drain pipe 3 and reducing maintenance frequency.

[0041] The alarm mechanism of the alarm device includes sound alarm and / or light alarm, and the embodiment preferably uses sound and light alarms.

[0042] To facilitate the later maintenance and waterproofing of the water flow monitoring device 7 and the water level monitoring device 6, the first placement bin 8 and the second placement bin 9 are provided with removable covers at the upper ends, and the covers are usually covered with sand on the upper side and around the two placement bins. When the water flow monitoring device 7 and the water level monitoring device 6 are maintained, the covers can be opened by digging away the sand, which is very convenient.

[0043] In combination with Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the covers at the upper ends of the first placement bin 8 and the second placement bin 9 are respectively a first cover 81 and a second cover 91, and to prevent water accumulation, the first cover 81 and the second cover 91 are both arranged obliquely.

[0044] The wires 5 pass through the middle of the two covers and enter the corresponding placement bins, and then are electrically connected to the corresponding water flow monitoring device 7 and water level monitoring device 6. The wires 5 are arranged in a position that is convenient for wiring and subsequent maintenance, and rubber sealing rings are arranged between the covers and the corresponding placement bin interfaces and the wires 5.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the wires 5 are further sleeved with protective tubes to protect the wires 5 and improve their service life.

[0046] In combination with Figure 5 , to ensure that the monitoring range of the water level sensor covers the normal water level to the warning water level interval, the first placement bin 8 is located at a position of 50%-90% of the height of the sewer 2, and the periphery of the first placement bin 8 is filled with concrete material except for the positions corresponding to the two sewers 2 on both sides to improve the waterproof performance, and the first cover 81 is obliquely arranged near the ground and the upper side is covered with concrete material to be flush with the ground. When maintaining, the upper side of the first cover 81 must be excavated, and after maintenance is completed, the concrete is filled to seal it.

[0047] When the drainage system is blocked, the early warning system can effectively distinguish between "stormwater grate 1 blockage" (water flow decreases, water level remains stable) and "drain 3 blockage" (water flow decreases, water level rises) through water level + flow cross-verification, avoiding single parameter misjudgment and significantly improving flood control emergency response efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, in the scenario of stormwater grate 1 blockage: after fallen leaves or debris cover the drain holes, rainwater is blocked outside the sewer 2, causing a sharp drop in water flow into the drain 3. At this time, the water flow monitoring device 7 detects that the flow is below the preset threshold (such as <10% of the rated value), triggering the alarm device to start the audible and visual warning for pedestrians, and simultaneously sending the positioning information to the municipal monitoring system.

[0049] In the scenario of internal blockage of drain 3: if the drain 3 is blocked due to sediment accumulation or structural collapse, rainwater will continue to accumulate in the sewer 2 and cannot be discharged. The water level monitoring device 6 detects that the water level rise rate is abnormal (such as >10 cm / min) or exceeds the safety threshold (such as 80% of the depth of sewer 2), immediately starts the alarm and marks "drain 3 blockage", which can accurately guide the dredging personnel to prioritize handling.
