Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to an ice thickness measuring device, belonging to the field of ice thickness measurement technology. Background Technology

[0002] In scientific research and resource development in polar and high-altitude regions, accurate measurement of ice thickness is crucial. As the effects of global warming become increasingly significant, the ice sheets in Antarctica and the Arctic are gradually melting. Changes in ice thickness have become one of the important indicators for studying climate change. Especially in polar regions, ice thickness directly affects the rate of global sea-level rise, which in turn affects human living environment and ecosystems. Therefore, accurate measurement of ice thickness is essential for assessing the impact of climate change.

[0003] Existing ice thickness measurement technologies include electromagnetic waves, ultrasonic waves, and radar. These advanced technologies can achieve real-time monitoring of ice thickness. However, these methods also have some significant drawbacks, such as high equipment costs, complex operation techniques, and limited applicability. They cannot be widely applied to ice thickness measurement in different environments and conditions. In particular, when ice thickness needs to be measured immediately after drilling operations, existing technologies often cannot meet the requirements of timeliness and convenience.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, an ice thickness measuring device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an ice thickness measuring device to achieve rapid measurement of borehole ice thickness.

[0006] An ice thickness measuring device includes a measuring mechanism and a straightening mechanism. The measuring mechanism includes a measuring rod and a pressure plate. The pressure plate is fixedly connected to one side of the measuring rod. The measuring rod has an integrally formed cavity inside. A through hole is opened on one side of the measuring rod, and the through hole communicates with the cavity. A sealing component is provided inside the cavity. A connecting rod passes through the measuring rod. One end of the connecting rod located inside the cavity is fixedly connected to the sealing component. A scale is integrally formed on one side of the measuring rod.

[0007] The straightening mechanism includes a fixed plate and a straightening sleeve, with the straightening sleeve fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a touch switch is installed on the top of the pressure plate, and a limiting shell is threadedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate. An underwater camera is installed inside the limiting shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the fixed plate is integrally formed with pointed cones distributed at equal intervals.

[0010] Furthermore, a display screen is mounted on the top of the fixed plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the straightening sleeve has equidistant grooves on both sides and a notch on one side.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the measuring rod, and a tapered head is integrally formed at one end of the measuring rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a limit ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed disk.

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention uses a fixing plate and a straightening sleeve to straighten the measuring rod. The measuring rod is inserted into the opening in the ice layer through the straightening sleeve. The pressure plate on one side of the measuring rod fits against the bottom surface of the ice layer. The thickness of the ice layer at the drilled hole can be quickly measured with the help of the scale. No additional equipment is required. The measuring rod has a built-in sealing component that can be pulled by a connecting rod. When the measuring rod is lowered, the sealing component does not block the through hole, so that water can flow into the cavity to facilitate the lowering of the measuring rod. When the measuring rod is pushed down, the connecting rod and the sealing component are used to drain the water inside, so that the measuring rod can be quickly removed. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, an ice thickness measuring device consists of a measuring mechanism 10 and a straightening mechanism 20.

[0024] The measuring mechanism 10 includes a measuring rod 11 and a pressure plate 19. The pressure plate 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the measuring rod 11. A touch switch 33 is installed on the top of the pressure plate 19. The measuring rod 11 has an integrally formed cavity 15. A through hole 16 is opened on one side of the measuring rod 11, which communicates with the cavity 15. A sealing member 18 is provided inside the cavity 15. A connecting rod 17 passes through the measuring rod 11. One end of the connecting rod 17 located inside the cavity 15 is fixedly connected to the sealing member 18. A scale 14 is integrally formed on one side of the measuring rod 11. The connecting rod 17 is retracted inside the measuring rod 11, reducing space occupation and facilitating carrying and use.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the total length of scale 14 is not less than 2m.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, in order to prevent the measuring rod 11 from being completely submerged in water, a limiting plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the measuring rod 11, and a conical head 13 is integrally formed at one end of the measuring rod 11. The conical head 13 breaks the ice in the water during the lowering of the measuring rod 11.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the pressure plate 19 is threadedly connected to a limiting shell 32, and an underwater camera 31 is provided inside the limiting shell 32. The underwater status is observed through the underwater camera 31, and the underwater camera 31 is model CANFISHCF1.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the touch switch 33 has a built-in Bluetooth transmission module that is wirelessly connected to the display screen 23 and transmits a signal to the display screen 23 when the touch switch 33 is pressed.

[0029] The straightening mechanism 20 includes a fixed plate 21 and a straightening sleeve 22. The straightening sleeve 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed plate 21. A limit ring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 21. A notch 25 is provided on one side of the straightening sleeve 22, through which the scale 14 is observed.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, in order to prevent the fixed plate 21 from sliding on the ice, the bottom of the fixed plate 21 is integrally formed with pointed cones 26 at equal intervals.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, in order to facilitate obtaining the state of the pressure plate 19 adhering to the ice layer and displaying the image of the underwater camera 31, a display screen 23 is installed on the top of the fixing plate 21.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, in order to facilitate the removal of ice from the surface of the measuring rod 11, the straightening sleeve 22 is provided with toothed grooves 24 evenly distributed on both sides to prevent ice from affecting normal use.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the display screen 23 is fixed to the fixing plate 21 with screws, and the touch switch 33 is fixed to the pressure plate 19 with screws, so that the display screen 23, the touch switch 33 and the underwater camera 31 can be removed during cleaning.

[0034] Working principle: After drilling a hole in the ice layer, the fixing plate 21 is placed at the drilled hole, so that the limiting ring 27 at the bottom of the fixing plate 21 is engaged in the hole in the ice layer, and the side of the limiting ring 27 near the notch 25 is in contact with the wall of the hole in the ice layer. The fixing plate 21 is pressed down so that the pointed cone 26 is inserted into the ice layer, thereby fixing the position of the fixing plate 21. The measuring rod 11 is inserted into the straightening sleeve 22. The measuring rod 11 passes between the toothed grooves 24, and the scale 14 of the measuring rod 11 is opposite to the notch 25 of the straightening sleeve 22. The connecting rod 17 is pulled to move the sealing part 18 upward, so that water can enter the cavity 15 during the lowering of the measuring rod 11, thereby reducing the resistance of the lowering of the measuring rod 11. During the lowering process, underwater cameras can be used to measure the water flow. The camera 31 acquires underwater information and displays it on the display screen 23. The measuring rod 11 is lowered until the pressure plate 19 is below the ice layer. Then, the measuring rod 11 is rotated 180 degrees. The lowering connecting rod 17 drives the sealing part 18 to discharge the water inside the cavity 15 through the through hole 16, increasing the buoyancy of the measuring rod 11. The measuring rod 11 is then lifted so that the pressure plate 19 is in contact with the bottom surface of the ice layer. The scale 14 is then read through the notch 25 to complete the measurement of the ice layer thickness. After the measurement, the measuring rod 11 is rotated 180 degrees again and then the measuring rod 11 is taken out. During the lowering and raising of the measuring rod 11, the toothed groove 24 breaks and removes the ice layer on the surface of the measuring rod 11.
