Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, specifically to a hydrological and water resources monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] The hydrological monitoring system is suitable for hydrological departments to monitor hydrological parameters such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, canals and groundwater in real time. The monitoring content includes: water level, flow rate, flow velocity, rainfall (snow), evaporation, sediment, ice, soil moisture, water quality, etc. The hydrological monitoring system uses wireless communication to transmit monitoring data in real time, which can greatly improve the work efficiency of hydrological departments.
[0003] Hydrological monitoring often requires monitoring devices, such as the hydrological and water resources monitoring device disclosed in patent number CN220471205U. In this device, rotating the second crank can cause the fourth worm to drive the fourth worm wheel to rotate, which in turn causes the third worm to drive the third worm wheel to rotate through the second connecting rod. The third worm wheel is fixed with a gear through a sleeve. The gear meshes with the teeth at the bottom of the telescopic rod, thereby causing the telescopic rod to extend or shorten. This allows for convenient adjustment of the extension length of the probe head, facilitating the adjustment of the monitored water area position. At the same time, it can also work with the first transmission mechanism and the rotation mechanism to change the height of the probe head, facilitating the maintenance of the probe head.
[0004] While this solution facilitates maintenance and replacement in practical use, it utilizes numerous electrically driven devices. However, water source detection devices are often located near water sources, leading to moisture damage to the conductive electrical equipment over extended periods, thus failing to meet actual usage requirements.

An installation rod 302 is inserted inside the groove 304. Floats 303 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the limiting rod 301 and on both sides of the limiting rod 301.
[0030] The effect achieved by the above structure is as follows: the float 303 is used to raise and lower the mounting rod 302, which in turn drives the water flow sensor 6 to adjust its position according to the water level, thereby enabling the monitoring of water flow.
[0031] A sealing plate 310 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting shell 4. Two second bolts 309 are inserted inside the sealing plate 310. The bottom of the second bolts 309 penetrates into the interior of the limiting rod 301 and is connected to the limiting rod 301 by threads.
[0032] The effect achieved by the above structure is as follows: the sealing plate 310 is used to install the mounting shell 4, and at the same time, it seals the limiting groove 305, thereby limiting the mounting rod 302.
[0033] Limiting grooves 305 are provided inside the limiting rod 301 and on both the front and rear sides of the groove 304. A limiting block 306 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 305, and one side of the limiting block 306 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 302.
[0034] The effect achieved by the above structure is that the installation rod 302 is limited by the cooperation between the limiting groove 305 and the limiting block 306, which increases the stability of the installation rod 302 when it is raised and lowered, and at the same time prevents the installation rod 302 from detaching from the inside of the groove 304.
[0035] A mounting bracket 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the water flow sensor 6, and the mounting bracket 8 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod 302.
[0036] The effect achieved by the above structure is as follows: the mounting bracket 8 is used to fit the water flow sensor 6 onto the outside of the mounting rod 302 to fix the water flow sensor 6 and the guide pipe 5. The model of the water flow sensor 6 is HGF100-05.
[0037] The mounting bracket 8 has a first bolt 9 internally threadedly connected to it, and the bottom of the first bolt 9 contacts the top of the mounting rod 302.

[0039] The top left side of the mounting rod 302 is provided with a first slot 307, and the right side of the mounting rod 302 is provided with a second slot 308. A plug 7 is inserted inside the second slot 308, and the end of the plug 7 is electrically connected to the top of the water flow sensor 6.
[0040] The effect achieved by the above structure is that the water flow sensor 6 is electrically connected through the cooperation between the first slot 307, the second slot 308 and the plug 7.
[0041] A laser rangefinder 10 is fixedly installed inside the mounting housing 4. The electrical connector of the laser rangefinder 10 passes through the mounting housing 4 and extends to the top of the mounting housing 4.
[0042] The effect achieved by the above structure is as follows: the laser rangefinder 10 is used to detect the distance to the mounting rod 302, and then measure the water level. The model of the laser rangefinder 10 is SickDS50-P1112.
[0043] It is worth mentioning that a 4G / 5G or LoRa wireless communication module is integrated inside the mounting shell 4, which connects to the sensor through a waterproof interface to achieve real-time data transmission. A waterproof antenna is set on the top of the mounting shell 4 to ensure signal stability. A solar panel 11 is added to the top of the mounting shell 4, which, together with the battery 12, powers the entire device. The mounting shell 4 has a built-in charging controller to protect the battery from overcharging / over-discharging. The mounting shell 4 and the sensor are sealed with sealant and waterproof sealing rings to achieve an IP68 waterproof rating. An anti-fouling coating (such as a copper ion-containing coating) is sprayed on the surface of the flow guide tube 5 and the sensor to prevent biofouling. A microcontroller (such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi) is installed inside the mounting shell 4 to store data and preprocess abnormal values. Local storage: configured with an SD card or NAND flash memory to store historical data in case of communication interruption. The laser range sensor 10 and the water flow sensor 6 are both electrically connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the data collected by the laser range sensor 10 and the water flow sensor 6, while the 4G / 5G or LoRa wireless communication module transmits the data to the management terminal in real time.
[0044] In use, the entire unit is placed in water and fixed in place by the positioning stake 2 penetrating into the mud at the bottom of the water. After installation, the mounting rod 302 floats up under the action of the float ball 303 installed at the bottom and the buoyancy, which in turn raises the guide pipe 5. Water flows through the inside of the guide pipe 5 and is monitored by the water flow sensor 6. At the same time, the float ball 303 will push the mounting rod 302 up when the water level rises. The laser range sensor 10 installed inside the mounting shell 4 detects the mounting rod 302 and thus detects the water level. All electrical interfaces in this solution are equipped with waterproof sealing structures.
