[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water level warning facilities, and in particular to a portable water level warning device for low-lying areas. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the rainy season, the city's drainage system bears the greatest responsibility for drainage and flood control. Some locations in low-lying areas, such as culverts, downhill slopes, and tunnels, are prone to water accumulation or even flooding, which can pose safety hazards to passing vehicles and the people inside.

[0003] In related technologies, when encountering flooded low-lying areas, passing vehicles are prone to misjudging the water level due to poor visibility and limited space during the rainy season. This can lead to vehicles breaking down in the water, or even serious accidents such as vehicle destruction and loss of life due to being unable to get out of trouble and being trapped by subsequent floods. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a portable water level warning device for low-lying areas, in order to solve the problem in related technologies that when encountering flooded low-lying areas, passing vehicles are prone to misjudging the water level due to poor visibility and limited space during the rainy season, which can lead to vehicles breaking down in the water, or even serious accidents such as vehicle destruction and loss of life due to being unable to get out of the water and being trapped by subsequent floods.

[0005] The portable water level warning device for low-lying areas provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable water level warning device for low-lying areas includes a main support rod and a secondary support rod, which are hinged together by a column base. A waterproof column is mounted on the top of the column base via a swing limiting mechanism. Multiple non-contact liquid level sensors are installed inside the waterproof column. An LED dot matrix display screen is connected to one side of the top of the waterproof column via a rotating gimbal. The LED dot matrix display screen is connected to the non-contact liquid level sensors. A reinforcing component is also provided between the main support rod and the secondary support rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the waterproof column is equipped with a stepless zoom high-intensity light via a three-dimensional gimbal.

[0008] Furthermore, the swing limiting mechanism includes swing blocks symmetrically arranged on the top of the column base. Each of the two swing blocks has a swing shaft rotatably arranged on one side of its corresponding side. One end of each swing shaft is connected to one side of the waterproof column. Limiting components for pressing and limiting the waterproof column are provided on both sides of the column base.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting shaft disposed on one side of the column base, and a limiting block rotatably disposed on one end of the limiting shaft to abut against the waterproof column.

[0010] Furthermore, the reinforcing component includes a fixed shaft disposed on one side of the main supporting rod, a fixed block disposed on one end of the fixed shaft, a reinforcing rod movably sleeved on the fixed shaft, a locking shaft disposed on the outer side of the end of the reinforcing rod away from the fixed shaft, and a locking hole provided on the secondary supporting rod to cooperate with the locking shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the main support rod is also provided with a folding and tidying hole, which cooperates with the locking shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the main support rod and both ends of the secondary support rod are provided with a load-bearing mechanism. The load-bearing mechanism includes a load-bearing seat sleeve fitted on one end of the main support rod or one end of the secondary support rod. The bottom of the load-bearing seat sleeve is provided with a load-bearing bearing seat. The load-bearing seat sleeve is also provided with a locking component that abuts against the main support rod or the secondary support rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the load-bearing seat is provided with a threaded hole, and the locking assembly includes a threaded rod threaded into the threaded hole. The top end of the threaded rod is provided with a rotating block, and the bottom end of the threaded rod is provided with a locking block that abuts against the main load-bearing rod or the secondary load-bearing rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0015] The swing limiting mechanism not only ensures the waterproof column is securely and vertically installed on the column base, but also allows for its disassembly and folding onto the main and auxiliary support rods. Furthermore, the reinforced components allow for the cross-layout of the main and auxiliary support rods to improve the overall stability of the water level warning device, and also enable their folding together for easy storage.

[0016] In addition, by setting up a structure that combines a non-contact liquid level sensor, a rotating gimbal, and an LED dot matrix display screen, when low-lying areas are flooded, the water level warning device of this application is unfolded and placed in the flooded area. The non-contact liquid level sensor then senses the water level height and sends the signal back to the LED dot matrix display screen. This allows the LED dot matrix display screen to automatically display the water level height at that time, thereby warning the vehicle about the wading depth. This can reduce the occurrence of serious accidents caused by misjudging the water level, such as vehicles breaking down while wading, or even being unable to get out of trouble due to breakdowns and subsequent flooding, resulting in vehicle damage and loss of life.

[0017] In addition, the water level warning device of this application has maximized portability through a folding design, is highly integrated, lightweight, and has excellent stacking performance after storage; and maintenance teams can equip it in large quantities, deploy it quickly, and provide strong warning capabilities.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a portable water level warning device for low-lying areas, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the water level warning device includes a main support rod 1, a secondary support rod 2, a column base 3, a waterproof column 4, a swing limiting mechanism, a non-contact liquid level sensor 41, an LED dot matrix display screen 42, a rotating gimbal, and reinforcing components. The middle sections of the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 are hinged together by the column base 3. The main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 have the same structure and dimensions, with the main support rod 1 positioned above the secondary support rod 2. This hinged arrangement of the column base 3 allows the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 to be laid out crosswise or folded together for storage.

[0027] Meanwhile, the bottom end of the waterproof column 4 is mounted on the top of the column base 3 via a swing limiting mechanism. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the swing limiting mechanism includes a swing block 31, a swing shaft 32, and a limiting component. Two swing blocks 31 are provided, symmetrically mounted on the top of the column base 3. Two swing shafts 32 are provided, one end of which is rotatably connected to one corresponding side of each of the two swing blocks 31, and the other ends are connected to the two sides of the waterproof column 4. This allows the waterproof column 4 to swing left and right via the two swing shafts 32, thereby enabling the waterproof column 4 to be folded and closed onto the supporting main rod 1.

[0028] Furthermore, there are two limiting components, which are respectively set on both sides of the column base 3 to tighten and limit the waterproof column 4, so that the waterproof column 4 can be vertically and stably installed on the top of the column base 3.

[0029] More specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting component includes a limiting shaft 33 and a limiting block 34. One end of the limiting shaft 33 is mounted on one side of the column base 3; one end of the limiting block 34 is rotatably mounted on the end of the limiting shaft 33 away from the column base 3. When the waterproof column 4 is swung vertically, by rotating the limiting block 34 on the limiting shaft 33, one side of the limiting block 34 abuts against one side of the waterproof column 4. Simultaneously, by rotating the limiting block 34 on the other limiting component, one side of the limiting block 34 also abuts against one side of the waterproof column 4. Thus, by setting a structure in which the limiting shaft 33 and the limiting block 34 cooperate with each other, the waterproof column 4 can not only be stably and vertically mounted on the column base 3, but the waterproof column 4 can also be disassembled and folded onto the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2.

[0030] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, multiple non-contact liquid level sensors 41 are provided, and the interior of the waterproof column 4 is a transparent hollow sealed structure. The non-contact liquid level sensors 41 are installed sequentially from bottom to top inside the waterproof column 4, and the non-contact liquid level sensors 41 can penetrate the interior of the waterproof column 4 to effectively sense the water level height of the accumulated water.

[0031] Meanwhile, the LED dot matrix display screen 42 is connected to the top side of the waterproof column 4 via a rotating gimbal. The rotating gimbal allows for effective adjustment of the angle of the LED dot matrix display screen 42. The LED dot matrix display screen 42 is electrically connected to the non-contact liquid level sensor 41. When the non-contact liquid level sensor 41 senses the water level, it can feed the signal back to the LED dot matrix display screen 42. This allows the LED dot matrix display screen 42 to automatically display the water level, thus warning drivers about the wading depth. This can reduce the risk of vehicles breaking down due to misjudging the water level, or even causing serious accidents such as vehicles being unable to escape due to breakdowns and subsequent flooding, resulting in vehicle damage and loss of life.

[0032] Better, refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, a stepless zoom high-intensity light 44 is connected to the top of the waterproof column 4 via a three-dimensional gimbal 43. The gimbal 43 allows for adjustment of the direction of the stepless zoom high-intensity light 44, ensuring flexible aiming. When the stepless zoom high-intensity light 44 is turned on, it emits a strong light, pointing towards the deepest area of ​​the wading zone, thereby improving visibility in the wading area and enhancing driving safety. Furthermore, the size of the wading area can be represented by adjusting the zoom of the stepless zoom high-intensity light 44.

[0033] In addition, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the reinforcing component is disposed between the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 to improve the stability of the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 when they are deployed, thereby making the entire water level warning device more stable in a waterlogged environment.

[0034] Specifically, the reinforcing assembly includes a fixed shaft 11, a fixed block 12, a reinforcing rod 5, and a locking shaft 51. The fixed shaft 11 is mounted on the top side of the supporting main rod 1, perpendicular to the supporting main rod 1. The fixed block 12 is mounted on the end of the fixed shaft 11 furthest from the supporting main rod 1. One end of the reinforcing rod 5 has a through hole that mates with the fixed shaft 11, allowing the reinforcing rod 5 to be movably fitted onto the fixed shaft 11 through the through hole. The fixed block 12 can limit one end of the reinforcing rod 5, enabling it to move up and down within the gap between the fixed block 12 and the supporting main rod 1, and allowing the reinforcing rod 5 to rotate about the fixed shaft 11 as its axis.

[0035] Meanwhile, one end of the locking shaft 51 is installed on the outer side of the reinforcing rod 5 away from the fixed shaft 11, and the locking shaft 51 is vertically located on one side of the main supporting rod 1. A locking hole 21 is provided on the secondary supporting rod 2, and the locking hole 21 cooperates with the locking shaft 51. When the main supporting rod 1 and the secondary supporting rod 2 are spread out crosswise, by rotating the reinforcing rod 5, the locking shaft 51 on the reinforcing rod 5 is locked and inserted into the locking hole 21 on the secondary supporting rod 2, so that the main supporting rod 1 and the secondary supporting rod 2 can be stably spread out crosswise, thereby improving the stability of the entire water level warning device during use. In addition, when the locking shaft 51 is pulled out of the locking hole 21, the main supporting rod 1 and the secondary supporting rod 2 can be folded together, which makes it easy to store.

[0036] Better, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a folding and organizing hole 13 is also provided on the main support rod 1, which cooperates with the locking shaft 51. When the locking shaft 51 is pulled out from the locking hole 21, the reinforcing rod 5 is rotated to fold the reinforcing rod 5 and the main support rod 1. Then the locking shaft 51 is inserted into the folding and organizing hole 13, thereby effectively folding and neatly storing the reinforcing rod 5.

[0037] Therefore, the water level warning device of this application maximizes portability through a folding design, is highly integrated, lightweight, and has excellent stacking performance after storage; moreover, it can be equipped in large quantities by maintenance teams, deployed quickly, and has strong warning capabilities.

[0038] Secondly, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, a load-bearing mechanism is provided at both ends of the main support rod 1 and both ends of the secondary support rod 2. The provision of these load-bearing mechanisms can further improve the stability of the entire water level warning device during use.

[0039] The load-bearing mechanism installed on one end of the main support rod 1 is described in detail below:

[0040] Specifically, the load-bearing mechanism includes a load-bearing sleeve 6, a load-bearing base 7, and a locking assembly. The load-bearing sleeve 6 is movably fitted onto one end of the main support rod 1; the top of the load-bearing base 7 is installed at the bottom of the load-bearing sleeve 6, and the load-bearing base 7 has a certain weight, providing good load-bearing capacity; simultaneously, when the load-bearing base 7 is placed on the ground in a flooded area, it increases the contact area with the ground, thus making the entire water level warning device more stable.

[0041] Meanwhile, the locking assembly is located on the top of the load-bearing seat 6, and it abuts against the main support rod 1, thereby making the connection between the load-bearing seat 6 and the main support rod 1 more secure. More specifically, the locking assembly includes a threaded rod 62, a rotating block 63, and a locking block 64. A threaded hole 61 is provided at the top of the load-bearing seat 6, and the threaded rod 62 is threaded into the threaded hole 61, so that the bottom end of the threaded rod 62 extends vertically into the interior of the load-bearing seat 6; the rotating block 63 is installed at the top end of the threaded rod 62; and the locking block 64 is installed at the bottom end of the threaded rod 62, and the locking block 64 is located inside the load-bearing seat 6.

[0042] After the load-bearing sleeve 6 is movably fitted into one end of the main support rod 1, the rotating block 63 is rotated and twisted, causing the threaded rod 62, under the threaded engagement of the threaded hole 61, to drive the locking block 64 to press against the surface of the main support rod 1, thereby securing one end of the main support rod 1 within the load-bearing sleeve 6. By using the same method described above, other load-bearing mechanisms can be respectively fitted and locked onto both ends of the secondary support rod 2 and the other end of the main support rod 1, thereby further improving the stability of the entire water level warning device.

[0043] The implementation principle of a portable water level warning device for low-lying areas according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0044] When it is necessary to deploy the water level warning device in a low-lying, waterlogged area such as a culvert, the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 are first deployed to each other in a stable and cross manner using the reinforcing components. Then, these load-bearing mechanisms are locked and fitted onto both ends of the main support rod 1 and the secondary support rod 2 respectively, so that the entire water level warning device can be placed stably on the ground in the waterlogged area. Then, the waterproof column 4 is stably and vertically installed on the column base 3 using the swing limiting mechanism.

[0045] The non-contact liquid level sensors 41 installed inside the waterproof pillar 4 sense the water level and send the signal back to the LED dot matrix display screen 42. This allows the LED dot matrix display screen 42 to automatically display the water level, thus warning the vehicle about the wading depth. At the same time, the stepless zoom high beam 44 is turned on, and the strong light is directed to the deepest area of ​​the wading area, thereby improving the visibility of the wading area and enhancing driving safety. The zoom of the stepless zoom high beam 44 can be adjusted to adjust the illuminated area to represent the size of the wading area.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
