These orifice protection devices may employ different materials and structures, and different protection mechanisms may result in certain discrepancies with existing standardized management practices in water conservancy and hydropower. The aforementioned piezometer and inclinometer orifice protection devices mainly suffer from the following technical defects:
[0005] (1) Pressure measuring tubes and inclinometers are exposed to the natural environment for a long time. Solid chemical deposits may accumulate inside the pressure measuring tubes and inclinometers, causing pipe blockage and affecting the accuracy of monitoring data.
[0006] (2) The installation process of pressure measuring tubes and inclinometers and their inclinometer protection devices is relatively complicated and requires professional technicians to operate. The installation process may also require some damage to the monitored object.
[0007] (3) There are many types of existing orifice protection devices, but there is a lack of unified design specifications and standards. This leads to differences in size, materials, and structure of the protection devices, making it difficult to form a standardized management system.

[0029] The following detailed description of the embodiments illustrates the present invention, but these examples are not intended to limit the scope of the invention and are merely illustrative. Furthermore, the advantages of the present invention will become clearer and easier to understand by explaining them.
[0030] This utility model relates to a safety monitoring pressure measuring tube and inclinometer orifice protection device, including orifice protection tube 2, triangular key lock with waterproof cover 3, cover plate 4, cover plate handle 5, identification nameplate 6, and sealing cover 9.
[0031] The orifice protection tube 2 is a hollow structure with openings at both the top and bottom. The cover plate 4 covers the upper end of the orifice protection tube 2. The lower end of the orifice protection tube 2 is connected to the pressure measuring tube and the inclinometer tube 7. The pressure measuring tube and the inclinometer tube 7 extend into the orifice protection tube 2. The diameter of the orifice protection tube 2 is larger than the diameter of the pressure measuring tube and the inclinometer tube 7. The connection between the orifice protection tube 2 and the pressure measuring tube and the inclinometer tube 7 is fixed by a poured concrete foundation 1. The triangular key lock 3 with a waterproof cover is installed on the side wall of the orifice protection tube 2. The cover plate handle 5 is installed on the upper end of the cover plate 4. The identification nameplate 6 is installed on the side wall of the orifice protection tube 2. The sealing cover 9 is installed at the end of the pressure measuring tube and the inclinometer tube 7 and is located inside the orifice protection tube 2.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a safety monitoring piezometer and inclinometer orifice protection device for the protection of monitoring facilities such as piezometers and inclinometers in reservoirs, dams, cofferdams, accumulation bodies, landslides, and various structures. Standard orifice protection devices are manufactured according to standard specifications and models. They are made of corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials. The orifice protection device includes a nameplate, a triangular key lock with a waterproof cover, a steel cover plate, and a cover plate handle. After excavating and pouring concrete foundations according to standard dimensions, concrete is poured, and then the protection device is poured together with the concrete, ensuring that the orifice protection device is installed flat and without looseness. After the concrete and orifice protection device have reached the required bonding period, they are uniformly painted.
[0033] The orifice protection device includes a protective concrete foundation 1 for the pressure measuring pipe and inclinometer facilities installed on each building, an orifice protection pipe 2, a triangular key lock with a waterproof cover 3, a cover plate 4, a cover plate handle 5, and an identification plate 6, which are used to facilitate the installation and protection of monitoring equipment such as pressure measuring pipes and inclinometers.
[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the orifice protection device 5 is manufactured according to the size requirements. The orifice protection device includes: orifice protection tube 2, triangular key lock with waterproof cover 3, cover plate 4, cover plate handle 5, and identification nameplate 6. The orifice protection tube 2 is made of steel, and the inside and outside of the tube opening are powder coated.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the outer diameter of the orifice protection pipe 2 is 370mm, the inner diameter is 350mm, and the depth is 500mm. The outer diameter of the cover plate 4 is 390mm. The inner diameter of the pressure measuring pipe and inclinometer orifice device 7 is 50mm. The reserved length of the pressure measuring pipe and inclinometer orifice device 7 within the orifice protection pipe 2 is 150mm. The pouring depth of the concrete foundation 1 is 500mm. The equipment inlet pipe 8 is arranged on the side of the pressure measuring pipe and inclinometer orifice device 7.
[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, when the concrete foundation is poured, the orifice protection device is installed at the same time as the concrete is poured. This ensures that the orifice protection device is fixed in a fixed state when the concrete solidifies, and that the orifice protection device is installed flat and without looseness, thus ensuring the stable operation of the monitoring equipment and preventing damage to the monitoring equipment.
[0037] This utility model utilizes the above-mentioned method for protecting the orifice of the safety monitoring pressure measuring tube and inclinometer tube. Before implementation, the device must be guaranteed according to the required standard dimensions. The location of the monitoring facility needs to be confirmed on-site. Then, the foundation is excavated and concrete is poured for installation based on the actual location of the monitoring equipment. The specific method includes the following steps:
[0038] 1) Before construction, make the orifice protection device according to the specified dimensions and materials, including: 2) orifice protection pipe, 3) triangular key lock with waterproof cover, 4) cover plate, 5) cover plate handle, and 6) identification nameplate.
[0039] 2) Before construction, excavate the concrete foundation according to the installation and protection location of the monitoring facilities. The foundation excavation must ensure that the foundation dimensions and size are consistent with the design, and that the foundation is level. The corresponding inlet pipeline is embedded in the body of the orifice protection device.
[0040] 3) During construction, after excavating and pouring the concrete foundation according to standard dimensions at the location of the pressure gauge and inclinometer monitoring facilities, pour the concrete. When the concrete foundation reaches a certain height, embed the lower 20cm of the prepared orifice protection device into the concrete. When embedding the orifice protection device, adjust its height, bottom, and level. At the same time as pouring the concrete, pour the pressure gauge and inclinometer orifice protection devices together with the concrete to ensure a seamless connection between the orifice protection device and the concrete, and to ensure that there is no looseness between the concrete and the orifice protection device.
[0041] 4) After the concrete foundation is poured and the orifice protection device is installed and solidified, the orifice protection device shall be powder-coated as required, and the same color shall be sprayed on all of them to achieve an aesthetic effect.
[0042] Compared to traditional protection devices, this invention demonstrates broader application potential, particularly in the protection of critical monitoring facilities such as piezometers and inclinometers for reservoir dams, cofferdams, landslides, and various structures. Its manufacturing and installation process is simple and quick, ensuring not only operational accuracy and efficiency but also significantly improving construction efficiency. More importantly, this invention achieves standardization and uniformity in orifice protection devices, laying a solid foundation for subsequent unified management and maintenance. It effectively avoids the increased management complexity and maintenance costs caused by device diversification, achieving optimal resource utilization.
[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. All other aspects not described in detail belong to the prior art.
