Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and in particular to a vehicle-mounted auxiliary maintenance platform for flow velocity measurement. Background Technology
[0002] A flow velocity measurement vehicle is an automated, mobile hydrological monitoring device used to measure the flow velocity, flow rate, and water level data of water bodies such as rivers, canals, and reservoirs. Its core function is to achieve continuous and real-time monitoring of water flow velocity by equipping it with various sensors (such as rotor-type, ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and radar flow velocity meters) and an automated control system, providing a scientific basis for water resource management, water conservancy project design, and flood control and disaster reduction.
[0003] The auxiliary maintenance platform provides a safe and efficient working environment for equipment maintenance, troubleshooting, calibration, and component replacement. However, existing auxiliary maintenance platforms typically perform maintenance directly on the flow velocity measurement vehicle, but they cannot record the maintenance process on video, nor can they record details such as operating steps, tool usage, and parameter adjustments. This results in a lack of evidence when reproducing subsequent faults. Flow velocity measurement vehicle maintenance involves various complex sensors, including propeller-type, electromagnetic, and ultrasonic sensors. Without recording operational details, it is impossible to trace the operating procedures when equipment malfunctions, leading to a more than threefold increase in repetitive maintenance time. Furthermore, the maintenance platform lacks power storage capabilities and relies on fuel generators or mains power. Long-term use will increase energy costs. During field operations or nighttime operations, if mains power is interrupted and there is no solar power storage, the maintenance platform will be unable to continue operating due to power outages, forcing the interruption of calibration or repair of critical equipment and directly impacting the maintenance progress.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a flow rate measurement vehicle auxiliary maintenance platform, including a first column 1 and a second column 2. A support platform 3 is fixed to the outer side of both the first column 1 and the second column 2. A protective component 4 for protection during maintenance is provided on the top of the support platform 3. A first support rod 5 is fixed to the outer side of the first column 1. A PTZ camera probe 6 is installed at the bottom of the first support rod 5. A second support rod 7 is fixed to the outer side of the second column 2. An installation rod 8 is fixed to the top of the second support rod 7. A solar panel 9 is fixed to the top of the installation rod 8. A fixing plate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the support platform 3. A ladder 13 is fixed to one side of the fixing plate 12 by bolts.
[0027] The support platform 3 provides a support platform for the maintenance of the flow velocity measurement vehicle, facilitating subsequent maintenance. The protective component 4 effectively prevents maintenance personnel from being injured due to accidental falls or impacts from external objects during operation, ensuring their safety. The PTZ camera probe 6 provides comprehensive monitoring of the maintenance area, facilitating real-time observation of maintenance progress, equipment status, and the surrounding environment, improving the safety and efficiency of maintenance work. The solar panel 9 collects free electrons through metal electrodes, forming a current through an external circuit, completing the conversion of light energy into electrical energy. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. The solar panel 9 can power the equipment on the platform, reducing the impact on the transmission... This design reduces reliance on conventional energy sources and lowers operating costs. The ladder 13 can be fixed to one side of the fixed plate 12 with bolts, facilitating maintenance personnel to climb onto the support platform 3 for repair work and improving operational convenience. The ladder 13 is a folding ladder in the prior art. The folding ladder uses hinges to allow relative rotation of the two side columns. When unfolded, the two side columns rotate outward around the hinge axis to form a stable structure; when folded, the columns rotate inward to the folded state. This design allows the ladder to maintain structural strength while achieving flexible volume transformation. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. The unfolding / folding operation can be completed by a single person with one hand. In emergency repair tasks, maintenance personnel can quickly set up the ladder to enter the support platform 3.
[0028] The protective component 4 includes support bases 41 fixed to the four corners of the top of the support platform 3, a protective frame 42 installed on one side of the support base 41, and a protective frame 43 fixed to the inner wall of the protective frame 42.
[0029] The support base 41 facilitates the subsequent installation of the protective frame 42. Both the support base 41 and the protective frame 42 are provided in four sets, forming a closed or semi-closed structure to prevent maintenance personnel from falling or being hit by external objects.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0032] Specifically, a connecting plate 10 is fixed to the outer side of the protective frame 42, and an mounting plate 11 for installing the protective frame 42 is fixed to one side of the connecting plate 10. The inner wall of the mounting plate 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the support base 41 by bolts.
[0033] The mounting plate 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the support base 41 with bolts to install the protective frame 42, which also facilitates the subsequent disassembly and replacement of the damaged protective frame 42 and protective frame 43.
[0034] Example 3:
[0035] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0036] Specifically, two sets of mounting blocks 14 are installed on the outer side of the first support rod 5, and the two sets of mounting blocks 14 are fixed by bolts. A connecting block 15 is fixed to the bottom of each set of mounting blocks 14, and a first mounting plate 16 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting block 15. A second mounting plate 17 is installed on the top of the PTZ camera probe 6, and the second mounting plate 17 is fixed to the first mounting plate 16 by bolts.
[0037] By fixing two sets of connecting blocks 15 to the outside of the first support rod 5 with bolts, the ball machine probe 6 is installed on the outside of the first support rod 5, which can monitor the maintenance area in all directions, facilitate real-time observation of maintenance progress, equipment status and surrounding environment, and improve the safety and efficiency of maintenance work.
[0038] Specifically, a first mounting plate 16 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting block 15, and a second mounting plate 17 is installed on the top of the PTZ camera probe 6, and the second mounting plate 17 is fixed to the first mounting plate 16 by bolts.
[0039] The second mounting plate 17 is fixed to the bottom of the first mounting plate 16 by bolts, and the PTZ camera probe 6 is installed, thereby installing the PTZ camera probe 6 on the outside of the first support rod 5, which can provide all-round monitoring of the maintenance area.
[0040] Specifically, a mounting bracket 18 is fixed to the outside of the mounting rod 8, and a fixing rod 19 for supporting the solar panel 9 is fixed to the top of the mounting bracket 18. A connecting rod 20 is fixed to the outside of the second support rod 7, and a flow rate measuring instrument 21 is installed on the top of the connecting rod 20.
[0041] The stability of the solar panel 9 is improved by mounting bracket 18 and fixing rod 19. The flow velocity measuring instrument 21 is existing technology. It senses fluid movement through physical or electromagnetic principles and converts the flow velocity signal into quantifiable data. It is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The flow velocity measuring instrument 21 collects flow velocity data in real time and compares it with historical benchmark values, standard flow velocity sources or theoretical models to verify the accuracy and stability of the measuring vehicle sensor.
[0042] Specifically, a support frame 22 is fixed to the top of the support platform 3, and a battery box 23 is installed inside the support frame 22.
[0043] Excess electrical energy is stored in the battery box 23 to ensure continuous operation of the equipment in the absence of sunlight, thereby improving system reliability. It can store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 9 for use at night or on cloudy or rainy days. The solar panel 9 generates direct current under sunlight, and the current is input to the battery box 23 through the controller. The battery pack inside the battery box 23 converts electrical energy into chemical energy for storage. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The battery box 23 can be stored by the support frame 22.
[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the first column 1 and the second column 2 are both fixed with a support plate 24, and the inner wall of the support plate 24 is threaded with a fixing bolt 25.
[0045] The first column 1 and the second column 2 are fixed to the ground by the support plate 24 and the fixing bolts 25, which enhances the stability of the entire platform and prevents it from tipping over or shifting due to equipment vibration or external force during maintenance.
[0046] In use, the support platform 3 provides a support platform for the maintenance of the flow velocity measurement vehicle, facilitating subsequent maintenance. The support base 41 facilitates the installation of the protective frame 42. Both the support base 41 and the protective frame 42 are equipped with four sets, forming a closed or semi-closed structure to prevent maintenance personnel from falling or being hit by external objects. The protective frame 42 and the protective frame 43 effectively prevent maintenance personnel from being injured due to accidental falls or impacts from external objects during operation, ensuring the personal safety of maintenance personnel. The second mounting plate 17 is fixed to the bottom of the first mounting plate 16 with bolts, and the PTZ camera probe 6 is installed. Then, the two sets of connecting blocks 15 are fixed to the outside of the first support rod 5 with bolts, thereby installing the PTZ camera probe 6 on the outside of the first support rod 5, which can monitor the maintenance area. Comprehensive monitoring facilitates real-time observation of maintenance progress, equipment status, and the surrounding environment, improving the safety and efficiency of maintenance work. Flow velocity data is collected in real time by the flow velocity meter 21 and compared with historical benchmark values, standard flow velocity sources, or theoretical models to verify the accuracy and stability of the measuring vehicle's sensors. The solar panel 9 can power the equipment on the platform, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and lowering operating costs. The battery box 23 stores excess electrical energy, ensuring continuous operation of the equipment in the absence of sunlight, improving system reliability. It can also store the electrical energy generated by the solar panel 9 for use at night or on cloudy or rainy days. The support plate 24 and fixing bolts 25 fix the first column 1 and the second column 2 to the ground, enhancing the stability of the entire platform and preventing tipping or displacement due to equipment vibration or external forces during maintenance.
