Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water level monitoring technology, specifically a water level monitoring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] A radar level gauge is a non-contact measuring device that uses electromagnetic waves (usually microwaves) to detect the water surface without direct contact with the water body. It is suitable for environments with sewage, corrosive liquids, or a lot of floating debris.
[0003] When using radar level gauges to monitor river water levels, the radar level gauges must be vertically aligned with a stable area of the water surface. The installation height must be ≥ the highest water level + 0.3 meters, splash-proof, and there must be no fixed obstructions (such as bridge piers or pipelines) within the microwave beam cone angle of the radar level gauge. These installation requirements necessitate extending the radar level gauge above the river surface using a bracket. This makes it difficult for staff to access the radar level gauge during subsequent maintenance, leading to inconvenience in maintenance work. Based on this, a water level monitoring instrument is provided. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a water level monitoring instrument includes a support assembly 1 and a radar water level gauge 3. The support assembly 1 includes a column 101, a transverse connector 102, an extension crossbar 103, and a limiting end plate 104.
[0032] The transverse connector 102 is welded and fixed to one side of the column 101 near the top. The extension crossbar 103 is connected and fixed to the transverse connector 102 by bolts. The limiting end plate 104 is welded and fixed to the end of the transverse connector 102 away from the transverse connector 102.
[0033] Support components 2 are provided on the outer side of the column 101 and the outer side of the extension crossbar 103. The support components 2 provide support for the installation of the radar level gauge 3.
[0034] Radar level gauge 3 includes an installation unit and a moving unit;
[0035] The mounting unit is used to provide a location and support for the installation of the radar level gauge 3;
[0036] The moving unit enables the installation unit to move along the outer wall of the extension crossbar 103, thereby pulling the radar level gauge 3 closer to the column 101 for easy maintenance.
[0037] The mounting unit includes a rectangular sleeve 201 and an L-shaped mounting base 202;
[0038] The rectangular sleeve 201 is horizontally slidably sleeved on the outside of the extension crossbar 103. The L-shaped mounting base 202 is welded and fixed to one side of the rectangular sleeve 201. The radar level gauge 3 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal part of the L-shaped mounting base 202 and extends through to the bottom of the L-shaped mounting base 202.
[0039] The rectangular sleeve 201 is moved closer to the limiting end plate 104 to make the radar level gauge 3 above the water surface, and the rectangular sleeve 201 is moved closer to the transverse connector 102 to make the radar level gauge 3 on the shore.
[0040] The moving unit includes an inclined support rod 203, a C-type limiting sleeve 204, a vertical support rod 205, a C-type fixing block 206, a through hole 207, and a locking bolt 208;
[0041] One end of the inclined support rod 203 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rectangular sleeve 201, and the other end of the inclined support rod 203 is rotatably connected to the C-type limiting sleeve 204. The top of the vertical support rod 205 is rotatably connected to the C-type limiting sleeve 204, and the positions where the inclined support rod 203, the vertical support rod 205 and the C-type limiting sleeve 204 are rotatably connected are vertically distributed.
[0042] The movable arm structure, consisting of inclined support rod 203, C-shaped limiting sleeve 204, and vertical support rod 205, facilitates the horizontal movement of rectangular sleeve 201.
[0043] An arc-shaped fixing seat 105 is fixed on the outer side of the column 101 below the transverse connector 102. When the rectangular sleeve 201 is in contact with the limiting end plate 104, the C-shaped limiting sleeve 204 is sleeved on the outer side of the arc-shaped fixing seat 105.
[0044] C-shaped fixing block 206 is fixed to the bottom end of vertical support rod 205. Through hole 207 is opened on one side of C-shaped fixing block 206 and completely penetrates the other side of C-shaped fixing block 206. Locking bolt 208 is threaded to through hole 207.
[0045] When the vertical support rods 205 are vertically distributed, the C-shaped fixing block 206 is attached to the outside of the column 101, and a locking screw hole 107 corresponding to the through hole 207 is opened on the outside of the contact position between the column 101 and the C-shaped fixing block 206. The locking bolt 208 passes through the through hole 207 and is threadedly connected to the locking screw hole 107 to realize the position locking of the rectangular sleeve 201.
[0046] In this embodiment, it should be noted that: a mounting plate is welded and fixed to the bottom of the column 101 for connection and fixation with the pre-embedded bolts;
[0047] The bracket assembly 1 is used to support the radar level gauge 3 above the water surface. At this time, the rectangular sleeve 201 is attached to the limiting end plate 104, the C-shaped limiting sleeve 204 is sleeved on the outside of the arc-shaped fixing seat 105, the vertical support rods 205 are vertically distributed, the C-shaped fixing block 206 is attached to the outside of the column 101 near the bottom, and the locking bolt 208 is tightened. The locking bolt 208 is threadedly connected to the locking screw hole 107, so that the position of the radar level gauge 3 can be kept stable.
[0048] It should be noted that the C-type fixing block 206 has a certain thickness. Therefore, there is a gap between the vertical support rod 205 and the column 101 in the vertical state. This gap provides space for the installation of clamps for other supporting equipment (such as distribution boxes), so that the vertical support rod 205 does not affect the installation of other supporting equipment of the column 101.
[0049] When the radar level gauge 3 needs maintenance, the locking bolt 208 can be loosened with a tool to move the locking bolt 208 out of the locking screw hole 107, thereby releasing the vertical limit of the C-type limiting sleeve 204 and the column 101. Then, manually pull the C-type fixing block 206, the vertical support rod 205, and the C-type limiting sleeve 204 downward as a whole, so that the C-type limiting sleeve 204 moves downward and separates from the arc-shaped fixing seat 105. At this time, the C-type fixing block 206 and the vertical support rod 205 can be rotated upward at a certain angle and the C-type limiting sleeve 204 can be pulled further (the upward rotation of the C-type fixing block 206 and the vertical support rod 205 is used to avoid the C-type fixing block 206 from colliding with the ground). During this process, the inclined support rod 203 will pull the rectangular sleeve 201 to move towards the column 101. Finally, the rectangular sleeve 201 approaches the horizontal connecting piece 102.
[0050] At this time, the radar level gauge 3 is moved to the shore, so that staff can climb the ladder to reach the radar level gauge 3 and carry out maintenance operations on it.
[0051] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-4The opening of the C-type limiting sleeve 204 has two bent parts. The bent parts of the C-type limiting sleeve 204 fit against the side of the notch of the arc-shaped fixing seat 105 to achieve horizontal limiting of the C-type limiting sleeve 204 and the arc-shaped fixing seat 105.
[0052] The top of the arc-shaped fixing seat 105 is also fixed with an arc-shaped stop 106 whose outer diameter is larger than that of the C-type limiting sleeve 204.
[0053] In this embodiment, when the C-type limiting sleeve 204 is sleeved with the arc-shaped fixing seat 105, the bent part of the C-type limiting sleeve 204 fits against the side of the notch of the arc-shaped fixing seat 105, thus achieving horizontal limiting of the two and ensuring the positional stability of the inclined support rod 203.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
