[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] 1. This utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism, a limiting groove, and a spatial groove, uses a servo motor to drive a threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod can drive a stroke rod to move in a circular trajectory via a connecting plate. At the same time, the threaded rod drives a transmission block to move upward along the inner wall of the sliding groove via the thread. The transmission block can drive a transmission ring to move upward, and the transmission ring can drive a support plate to move upward together. When the support plate moves up to the top of the limiting groove, the stroke rod enters the inner wall of the stroke groove. The stroke rod continues to move and begins to squeeze the stroke groove, causing the support plate to rotate 90 degrees under the drive of the stroke rod, so that the support plate faces the area to be detected. This achieves the effect of adjusting the support frame and facilitating the replacement of the ultrasonic water level gauge.

[0031] 2. This utility model, by setting up a clamping assembly and a fixing plate, allows the clamping plate to move outward by pulling the pulling member. Simultaneously, the clamping plate compresses the telescopic spring, causing the spring to generate elastic force until the distance between the clamping plates is greater than the diameter of the ultrasonic level gauge. The ultrasonic level gauge can then be placed on the support plate. After stopping the pulling member, the telescopic spring releases its elastic force, pushing the clamping plate to fit tightly against the ultrasonic level gauge, thus fixing the ultrasonic level gauge in place. This achieves the effect of quickly installing or replacing the ultrasonic level gauge. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The structure of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, an ultrasonic water level gauge for water conservancy and hydrology provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0040] Support frame 1;

[0041] Ultrasonic water level gauge 2: Ultrasonic water level gauge 2 is installed on the left side of support frame 1;

[0042] Adjustment mechanism 3: Adjustment mechanism 3 is disposed on the outer surface of ultrasonic level gauge 2, and adjustment mechanism 3 includes:

[0043] Support plate 310: The inner wall of the support plate 310 is in contact with the outer surface of the ultrasonic level gauge 2;

[0044] Stroke groove 320: Stroke groove 320 is formed on the upper surface of support plate 310;

[0045] Stroke rod 330: The outer surface of stroke rod 330 is slidably connected to the inner wall of stroke groove 320;

[0046] Drive assembly 340: Drive assembly 340 is disposed inside support frame 1;

[0047] Transmission assembly 350: Transmission assembly 350 is disposed on the outer surface of drive assembly 340.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive component 340 includes:

[0049] Connecting plate 341: The lower surface of connecting plate 341 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of stroke rod 330;

[0050] Threaded rod 342: The upper end face of threaded rod 342 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of connecting plate 341, and the outer surface of threaded rod 342 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of support frame 1 through bearing;

[0051] Servo motor 343: The output end of servo motor 343 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of threaded rod 342, and the lower surface of servo motor 343 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of support frame 1.

[0052] The above solution is adopted: the servo motor 343 drives the threaded rod 342 to rotate, and the threaded rod 342 can drive the stroke rod 330 to move in a circular trajectory through the connecting plate 341. When the support plate 310 moves up to a certain position, the stroke rod 330 enters the inner wall of the stroke groove 320 and squeezes the stroke groove 320, so that the support plate 310 is rotated 90 degrees by the stroke rod 330, so that the support plate 310 faces the area to be detected.

[0053] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 350 includes:

[0054] Transmission ring 351: The left surface of transmission ring 351 is fixedly connected to the right surface of support plate 310;

[0055] Transmission block 352: The inner wall of transmission block 352 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of threaded rod 342 by a thread, and the outer surface of transmission block 352 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of transmission ring 351 by a bearing;

[0056] Sliding groove 353: There are two sliding grooves 353. The two sliding grooves 353 are opened on the inner wall of the support frame 1. The inner wall of the sliding groove 353 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the transmission block 352.

[0057] Using the above scheme: In order to move the support plate 310 upward, the threaded rod 342 is rotated. The threaded rod 342 drives the transmission block 352 to move upward along the inner wall of the sliding groove 353 through the thread. The transmission block 352 can drive the transmission ring 351 to move upward together, and the transmission ring 351 drives the support plate 310 to move upward together.

[0058] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove 4 is provided on the outer surface of the support frame 1, and the inner wall of the limiting groove 4 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the transmission ring 351.

[0059] Using the above scheme: the limiting groove 4 mainly serves to limit the upward movement of the transmission ring 351.

[0060] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a spatial groove 5 is provided on the outer surface of the support frame 1, and the inner wall of the spatial groove 5 is in a close fit with the outer surface of the transmission ring 351.

[0061] The above scheme is adopted: the space groove 5 mainly serves to provide rotation space for the subsequent rotation of the transmission ring 351.

[0062] refer to Figure 2As shown, the outer surface of the ultrasonic level gauge 2 is provided with a clamping assembly 6. There are two clamping assemblies 6, and the two clamping assemblies 6 include:

[0063] Clamping plate 601: The opposite side of clamping plate 601 is in contact with the outer surface of ultrasonic level gauge 2;

[0064] Pulling component 602: One end of the pulling component 602 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping plate 601;

[0065] Telescopic spring 603: The telescopic spring 603 is sleeved on the outer surface of the pulling member 602, and one end of the telescopic spring 603 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping plate 601.

[0066] Using the above solution: To quickly install the ultrasonic level gauge 2, the pulling member 602 can be pulled outward. The pulling member 602 can drive the clamping plate 601, causing the clamping plate 601 to move outward. At the same time, the clamping plate 601 can compress the telescopic spring 603, causing the telescopic spring 603 to generate elastic force until the distance between the clamping plates 601 is greater than the diameter of the ultrasonic level gauge 2. Then, the ultrasonic level gauge 2 can be placed on the support plate 310. Then, stop pulling the pulling member 602, and the telescopic spring 603 releases its elastic force, pushing the clamping plate 601 to fit tightly against the ultrasonic level gauge 2, thereby fixing the ultrasonic level gauge 2.

[0067] refer to Figure 2 As shown, a fixing plate 7 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 310. There are two fixing plates 7. The lower surfaces of the two fixing plates 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 310. The opposite side of the fixing plates 7 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of the telescopic spring 603. The interior of the fixing plate 7 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the pulling member 602.

[0068] Using the above scheme: the fixed plate 7 mainly serves to support the pulling part 602 and the telescopic spring 603.

[0069] The working principle of this utility model:

[0070] In use, the pulling member 602 can be pulled outward, which drives the clamping plate 601 to move outward. Simultaneously, the clamping plate 601 compresses the telescopic spring 603, causing the spring to generate elastic force until the distance between the clamping plates 601 is greater than the diameter of the ultrasonic level gauge 2. Then, the ultrasonic level gauge 2 can be placed on the support plate 310. Next, pulling the pulling member 602 stops, and the telescopic spring 603 releases its elastic force, pushing the clamping plate 601 tightly against the ultrasonic level gauge 2, thus fixing the ultrasonic level gauge 2 in place. Then, the servo motor 343 is started via the controller, and the servo motor 343 drives the threaded rod 342 forward. The threaded rod 342 rotates, and the connecting plate 341 drives the stroke rod 330 to move in a circular trajectory. At the same time, the threaded rod 342 drives the transmission block 352 to move upward along the inner wall of the sliding groove 353 through the thread. The transmission block 352 can drive the transmission ring 351 to move upward, and the transmission ring 351 drives the support plate 310 to move upward together. When the support plate 310 moves to the top of the limiting groove 4, the stroke rod 330 enters the inner wall of the stroke groove 320. The stroke rod 330 continues to move and begins to squeeze the stroke groove 320, so that the support plate 310 is rotated 90 degrees by the stroke rod 330, so that the support plate 310 faces the area to be detected. Then, the servo motor 343 can be turned off.

[0071] It should be noted that the servo motor 343 is a device or equipment existing in the prior art, or a device or equipment that can be implemented by the prior art, and the specific composition and principle of the power supply of the servo motor 343 are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0072] In summary, this ultrasonic water level gauge for water conservancy and hydrology, through the adjustment mechanism 3, limiting groove 4, spatial groove 5, clamping assembly 6, and fixing plate 7, solves the problem that when maintenance and replacement are required, the support frame cannot be adjusted, making it difficult for staff to quickly replace the ultrasonic water level gauge. This often requires staff to disassemble the support frame or use specialized tools to replace the ultrasonic water level gauge, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0073] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
