Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality monitoring technology, specifically to a water intake float for a surface water quality monitoring station. Background Technology
[0002] Surface water quality monitoring stations are facilities or sites specifically designed for the systematic and continuous monitoring of the water quality of natural water bodies (i.e., surface water) such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and streams. Their core function is to collect water samples, analyze water quality parameters, assess the health status of water bodies, and provide data support and decision-making basis for environmental protection, water resource management, and pollution prevention through scientific means.
[0003] To collect water flexibly, a water intake pontoon is needed. When the pontoon is placed in the water, if there is garbage or duckweed on the surface, the garbage such as duckweed or plastic bags may get tangled in the pontoon's inlet, sensors, etc. It usually requires manual cleaning tools to move or clean the garbage on the water surface and keep it away from the pontoon. This increases the workload of the staff. When they do not have cleaning tools with them, they need to find a new placement point, which reduces the overall efficiency of water quality monitoring. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water intake float for a surface water quality monitoring station to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water intake float for a surface water quality monitoring station, comprising a main body of the water intake float and a filter bucket disposed at the bottom of the main body of the water intake float, and further comprising:
[0006] The filter bucket has through holes on all four sides at the bottom. The filter bucket is equipped with a water spray mechanism inside. The drain pipes on both sides of the bottom of the water intake float body are equipped with one-way valves. The surfaces on the left and right sides of the water intake float body are provided with guide grooves.
[0007] An installation ring slides on one side of the filter barrel surface. The two sides of the inner wall of the installation ring are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide grooves. Positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the front surface of the filter barrel. A support mechanism is provided in the inner cavity of the installation ring.
[0008] Preferably, the water spraying mechanism includes a filter screen disposed on the inner wall of the through hole and hollow tubes bolted to the four sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the filter barrel. The water inlet of the hollow tube is connected to the through hole. A water storage ring is bolted to one side of the surface of the filter barrel. The water outlet of the hollow tube is connected to the water inlet of the water storage ring. Spray holes are opened on the surface of the water storage ring.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a surface water quality monitoring station uses a water intake float, comprising a main body 1. A filter bucket 2 is installed at the bottom of the main body 1. The filter bucket 2 prevents debris from entering the main body 1. The bottom of the filter bucket 2 is conical, allowing it to be easily submerged. Through holes 3 are provided on all four sides of the bottom of the filter bucket 2. A water spray mechanism 4 is installed inside the filter bucket 2. When the filter bucket 2 comes into contact with water, some water enters the spray mechanism 4 through the through holes 3. The spray mechanism 4 sprays water onto the water surface, creating water waves. The force of these waves drives aquatic plants or debris away from the main body 1. When the filter bucket 2 is completely submerged, water can enter the interior of the filter bucket 2 through its perforated surface. One-way valves 6 are installed on the drain pipes on both sides of the bottom of the water intake float body 1. During subsequent use, excess water inside the filter bucket 2 can be discharged through the one-way valves 6. Guide grooves 7 are opened on the left and right sides of the water intake float body 1. An installation ring 8 is slidably connected to one side of the surface of the filter bucket 2. The two sides of the inner wall of the installation ring 8 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide grooves 7 respectively. The two sides of the inner wall of the installation ring 8 are convex. Positioning grooves 9 are opened on both sides of the front surface of the filter bucket 2. A support mechanism 10 is set in the inner cavity of the installation ring 8. The support mechanism 10 works in conjunction with the positioning groove 9. When the internal parts of the support mechanism 10 enter the positioning groove 9, it can prevent the internal parts of the support mechanism 10 from continuing to move. When the device is placed on the ground, when the internal parts of the support mechanism 10 enter the positioning groove 9 below, it can support the entire device.
[0023] The water spray mechanism 4 includes four filter screens 41, which are installed on the inner wall of the through hole 3. The filter screens 41 prevent impurities in the water from passing through the through hole 3. Hollow tubes 42 are bolted to the four sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the filter barrel 2. The inlets of the hollow tubes 42 are connected to the through holes 3, allowing water to flow into the interior of the hollow tubes 42. A water storage ring 43 is bolted to one side of the surface of the filter barrel 2, and the outlet of the hollow tubes 42 is connected to the water storage ring 43. The inlets of the hollow tube 42 are interconnected, and the water flow inside the hollow tube 42 can enter the interior of the water storage ring 43. The surface of the water storage ring 43 is provided with spray holes 44. There are several spray holes 44, and the spray holes 44 are designed in an inclined shape. The water flow inside the water storage ring 43 can be sprayed out through the spray holes 44. Both sides of the surface of the hollow tube 42 are bolted with sleeve plates 5. One side of the surface of the sleeve plate 5 is bolted to one side of the inner wall of the filter barrel 2. Under the action of the sleeve plate 5, the hollow tube 42 can be assisted in positioning.
[0024] The support mechanism 10 includes two compression springs 101. One end of each compression spring 101 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the mounting ring 8. The other ends of the compression springs 101 are fixedly connected to arc-shaped plates 102. Under the action of the compression springs 101, the arc-shaped plates 102 can enter the interior of the positioning groove 9. A handle 103 is bolted to the front surface of the arc-shaped plates 102. When the handle 103 moves, the arc-shaped plates 102 can move. When the device moves, the compression springs 101 on both sides can be compressed. When the arc plate 102 moves to the appropriate position, it can be moved out of the positioning groove 9. Under this action, the positioning of the mounting ring 8 can be released. The surface of the mounting ring 8 is bolted with a connecting rod 104. There are four connecting rods 104, which are evenly distributed on the four sides of the surface of the mounting ring 8. When the mounting ring 8 is raised or lowered, the connecting rods 104 can be raised or lowered. The bottom of the connecting rod 104 is bolted with a support seat 105. When the connecting rod 104 is raised or lowered, the support seat 105 can be raised or lowered.
[0025] Working principle: When the water intake float body 1 needs to be used, first install the filter bucket 2 at the bottom of the water intake float body 1. When the water intake float body 1 is placed in the water, the water surface contacts the bottom of the filter bucket 2. Under this action, some water can flow through the through hole 3. Under the action of the filter screen 41, impurities in the water can enter the filter. The filtered water can enter the interior of the hollow tube 42. Then, the water inside the hollow tube 42 can enter the interior of the water storage ring 43. Next, the water inside the water storage ring 43 can be sprayed out through the spray hole 44. When the water sprayed out of the spray hole 44 contacts the water surface, it can generate water waves. With the combination of the water flow sprayed out of the spray hole 44 and the water waves, floating garbage or duckweed can be moved away from the water intake float body 1. When the water intake float body 1 needs to be lifted and placed on the ground, pull the handle 103. When the handle 103 moves... The arc plate 102 can be moved, and the movement of the arc plate 102 can compress the compression springs 101 on both sides. When the arc plate 102 moves to the appropriate position, it can be moved out of the upper positioning groove 9. Then, the mounting ring 8 is pulled down. Next, the positioning groove 9 descends, which can move the connecting rod 104. When the connecting rod 104 descends, it can move the support seat 105. When the mounting ring 8 descends to the appropriate position, the arc plate 102 can quickly enter the lower positioning groove 9 under the action of the compression springs 101 on both sides. Under this action, the mounting ring 8 can be positioned. When the mounting ring 8 is positioned, it can prevent the connecting rod 104 from continuing to drive the support seat 105 to descend. When the four support seats 105 are in contact with the ground, they can support the water intake float body 1. Under this action, it can prevent the water intake float body 1 from easily tilting.
