Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, and in particular to a water environment monitoring device for water conservancy and hydropower engineering. Background Technology
[0002] Water conservancy and hydropower engineering is a comprehensive engineering field that encompasses multiple professional directions related to the development, utilization, control, allocation, protection and management of water resources. Water environment monitoring devices are equipment and systems used to monitor and assess the environmental conditions of water bodies. They can collect various parameter data of water bodies in real time or periodically to reflect the health status, pollution level and hydrological dynamics of water bodies. They are widely used in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans, as well as in drinking water, sewage, environment, industry, agriculture and aquaculture.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN221078160U discloses a water environment monitoring device. This device addresses the issue that when sampling aquatic samples, the sampling tube opening is easily clogged by debris, affecting sampling. Furthermore, if the platform needs to be fixed or floated on the water, the lack of support makes it inconvenient to use. Therefore, when sampling water samples, a protective net protects the first sampling tube inside, preventing fish and aquatic plants from clogging it. When the water pump draws water samples through the first sampling tube, fish, aquatic plants, and large pieces of mud are blocked, thus protecting the internal equipment.
[0004] The aforementioned water environment monitoring device avoids fish and aquatic plants clogging the first sampling tube when monitoring the water environment. In the existing technology, when the monitoring box is placed in a float to monitor the river, solar photovoltaic panels are usually installed to power the monitoring box. Since the solar photovoltaic panels are exposed above the river surface, they are easy to attract birds to perch. If birds perch on the solar photovoltaic panels, they can easily leave droppings on them. At the same time, bird claws can easily scratch the surface of the solar photovoltaic panels, causing corrosion and damage to the solar photovoltaic panels, reducing their service life and hindering the absorption of solar energy.

[0032] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the bird deterrent assembly includes a connecting rod 9, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 8. Both ends of the connecting rod 9 are fixedly connected to racks 10. Both sides of the mounting platform 1 are fixedly connected to connecting frames 11. A rotating frame 12 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the connecting frame 11. Multiple ribbons 13 are provided on one side of the rotating frame 12. A gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 11. The gear ring 14 and the racks 10 are meshed. Two sliding grooves 15 are opened on one side of the mounting frame 4. Sliding blocks 16 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 15. The two sliding blocks 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod 9. The cross-sections of the sliding grooves 15 and the sliding blocks 16 are both "convex" shaped. The connecting rod 9 is used to connect the two racks 10 to move simultaneously. The rotating frame 12 facilitates the installation of ribbons 13. When the ribbons 13 are fluttering, they facilitate the deterrence of birds. The sliding blocks 16 slide inside the sliding grooves 15, which facilitates the limitation of the moving connecting rod 9.
[0033] As attached Figure 4 As shown, a protective assembly is provided on the lower surface of the mounting platform 1. The protective assembly includes a protective shell 17, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting platform 1 and is located outside the monitoring box 3. A filter plate 18 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protective shell 17. A screw 19 is rotatably connected inside the protective shell 17. A moving block 20 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw 19. A baffle plate 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 20, and a scraper 22 is fixedly connected to the other side of the moving block 20. One side of the screw 19... A shaft 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the protective shell 17, and a fixed shell 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective shell 17. A stepper motor 25 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting platform 1. A rotating rod 26 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 25. A first bevel gear 27 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 26. The filter plate 18 and the protective shell 17 facilitate the protection of the monitoring box 3 and prevent it from being entangled by algae. The baffle plate 21 facilitates the prevention of impurities from entering the interior of the protective shell 17 through the filter holes when the scraper 22 scrapes the surface of the filter plate 18.
[0034] As attached Figure 5 As shown, a second bevel gear 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft 23. The second bevel gear 28 and the first bevel gear 27 are meshed. A connecting groove 29 is provided on one side of the protective shell 17. A blocking brush 30 is fixedly connected inside the connecting groove 29. The connecting groove 29 is used for the movement of the scraper 22. The blocking brush 30 can block algae from entering the interior of the protective shell 17 to a certain extent.
[0035] Working principle: After the monitoring box 3 is installed on the mounting platform 1, the mounting platform 1 is floated in the river using the floating airbag 2. When birds land on the solar photovoltaic panel 5, the ultrasonic sensor 7 will detect the birds through ultrasonic waves and then transmit the command to the hydraulic cylinder 8, causing the hydraulic cylinder 8 to start. When the hydraulic cylinder 8 starts, the output end drives the connecting rod 9 to move up and down reciprocally. The connecting rod 9 drives the racks 10 at both ends to move up and down reciprocally. Through the meshing of the racks 10 and the gear ring 14, the gear ring 14 drives the rotating frame 12 to rotate on the upper surface of the connecting frame 11. When the rotating frame 12 rotates, it causes multiple ribbons 13 to flutter, thus startling the birds and causing them to fly away.
[0036] During the water quality monitoring process of the monitoring box 3, the protective shell 17 and the filter plate 18 are used to filter and block impurities and algae in the water flow. When the output end of the stepper motor 25 drives the rotating rod 26 to rotate, the rotating rod 26 drives the first bevel gear 27 to rotate. Through the meshing of the first bevel gear 27 and the second bevel gear 28, the second bevel gear 28 is driven to rotate, which helps to drive the screw 19 to rotate. When the screw 19 rotates, it drives the moving block 20 to move under the corner limit of the protective shell 17. This helps to drive the blocking plate 21 to move, and at the same time, it drives the scraper 22 to slide inside the connecting groove 29, thereby scraping the lower surface of the filter plate 18 and reducing the adhesion of algae on the surface of the filter plate 18.
