Due to the long-term operation of the hydropower station, the thickness of the silt at the bottom of the water will gradually increase over time. After long-term use, it is not convenient to measure the water depth and the thickness of the silt at the bottom, which in turn affects the monitoring results of the water level detection device.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] See Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a hydropower station water level monitoring system includes a fixed support plate 1, with ground nails 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed support plate 1, a fixed rod 3 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed support plate 1, a lifting cylinder 5 slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, a sliding support plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting cylinder 5, an airbag 6 fixedly connected inside the sliding support plate 4, a sliding cylinder 13 slidably connected to the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 5, a float 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding cylinder 13, a second scale 12 provided on the outer wall of the fixed rod 3, a first scale 11 provided on the inner wall of the lifting cylinder 5, the first scale 11 cooperating with the top of the lifting cylinder 5, and the second scale 12 cooperating with the sliding cylinder 13; a traction assembly is installed outside the lifting cylinder 5; and a lifting assembly is installed between the fixed rod 3 and the lifting cylinder 5.
[0021] During the installation process, the ground nail 2 is first inserted into the ground, and then the fixing rod 3 is pulled and fixed by the traction component, so that the equipment is stably installed in the hydropower station, thereby preventing the equipment from shaking under the impact of the water flow. At this time, the float 14 always floats on the water surface under the action of the buoyancy of the water body, and the float 14 drives the sliding cylinder 13 to slide relative to the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 5.
[0022] When the water level in the hydropower station changes, the relative height between the sliding cylinder 13 and the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 5 changes. At this time, the relative height of the sliding cylinder 13 can be accurately measured by the first scale 11, and the water depth can be accurately measured by the relative height between the sliding cylinder 13 and the lifting cylinder 5.
[0023] Meanwhile, staff also need to periodically pull the lifting assembly to raise the lifting cylinder 5, which in turn raises the sliding bearing plate 4, thus pulling the sliding bearing plate 4 out of the silt. Then, the lifting assembly is released, allowing the sliding bearing plate 4 to fall to the top of the silt. At this point, the thickness of the silt at the bottom of the hydropower station can be measured by the relative height change between the lifting cylinder 5 and the first scale 11.
[0024] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4The traction assembly includes a connecting block 20 fixedly connected to the fixed rod 3. The lifting cylinder 5 is provided with a connecting groove. The connecting block 20 passes through the connecting groove and is fixedly connected to multiple sets of fixed rings 7. The connecting block 20 and the connecting groove are slidably connected to each other. The traction assembly also includes multiple sets of positioning pins 8. A traction ring 9 is fixedly connected to the positioning pin 8. A positioning cable 10 is connected between the traction ring 9 and the fixed ring 7.
[0025] The traction assembly first inserts the positioning nail 8 into the soil layer at the bottom of the power station, and then connects the traction ring 9 and the fixed ring 7 through the positioning cable 10. Then, the fixed rod 3 is traction and positioned by multiple angle traction tensioning of multiple sets of positioning cables 10.
[0026] In one instance of this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 The lifting assembly includes a connecting ring 15 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting cylinder 5, a fixing frame 16 fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 3, a rotating shaft 17 rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 16, pulleys 18 fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft 17, one end of a traction cable 19 fixedly connected to the connecting ring 15, the other end of the traction cable 19 passing through the pulleys 18 and fixedly connected to a connecting block 20, a counterweight block 21 fixedly connected to the connecting block 20, and a handle 22 fixedly connected to the counterweight block 21.
[0027] The lifting assembly first connects the lifting cylinder 5 to the lifting cylinder 5 via the traction cable 19 and the connecting ring 15. When the lifting cylinder 5 needs to be raised, the operator can pull the handle 22. The handle 22 pulls the traction cable 19 down via the counterweight 21 and the connecting block 20. The traction cable 19, under the action of the pulley 18, drives the connecting ring 15 to rise. The connecting ring 15 drives the lifting cylinder 5 to rise. After the lifting is completed, the handle 22 is released, and the lifting cylinder 5 falls back to its original position under the action of gravity. The lifting assembly keeps the traction cable 19 taut through the counterweight 21. The lifting assembly reduces the pulling force required for the operator to pull the handle 22 through the airbag 6 and the counterweight 21.
[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
