Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the operation and management of reservoirs, regular monitoring of reservoir depth changes is crucial for understanding siltation and erosion, and for assessing the reservoir's lifespan and safety. For example, siltation reduces reservoir capacity and affects its regulation and storage capabilities; accurate depth measurement allows for timely implementation of measures such as dredging.
[0003] Reservoir depth measurement often employs simple methods such as rope-suspended weights or single-beam echo sounders. Rope-suspended weights suffer from low accuracy and inefficiency, making it difficult to obtain large-area, precise depth data. Single-beam echo sounders can only measure the depth information of one sounding line, which is insufficient to comprehensively and accurately reflect the underwater topography of reservoirs with complex terrain. To address these technical problems, this application proposes a multi-angle reservoir depth measurement device. Utility Model Content

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a multi-angle reservoir depth measurement device, comprising a floating body 16, with multiple motor slots on the outer side of the top side of the floating body 16, each motor slot housing a propeller motor 17. A rotating shaft slot is provided in the middle of the top side of the floating body 16, and a counterweight plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the floating body 16. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected inside the rotating shaft slot, and a rotating plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6. Multiple discs 12 are fixedly connected to the outer end of the top side of the rotating plate 13, and two circular waterproof shells 11 are fixedly connected to the top side of the discs 12. A lower motor 5 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two circular waterproof shells 11, and a semi-circular plate 7 is fixedly connected to the drive end of each of the two lower motors 5. A rotating assembly is provided on the adjacent side of each of the two semi-circular plates 7. Multiple propeller slots are provided on the outer wall of the floating body 16, and propellers 14 are provided in each propeller slot. The movement of the floating body 16 is achieved by remotely controlling the start and stop of the four propeller motors 17 via a controller, thereby completing multi-angle measurements on the water surface.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-3The rotating assembly includes an upper motor 4, with a round head plate 3 fixedly connected to the drive end of the upper motor 4. Two fixed connection slots are formed on the outer side of the round head plate 3, and connecting rods 8 are fixedly connected to each slot. A second round head plate 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting rod 8. A connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second round head plate 9 and the front end of the round head plate 3. A connecting slot is formed on the front side of the connecting block 2. An electric push rod 1 is fixedly connected inside the connecting slot, and a waterproof assembly is provided on the outer side of the electric push rod 1. The waterproof assembly includes a square waterproof shell 10, a sealing gasket 19 on the bottom side of the square waterproof shell 10, and a sealing ring 20 on the outer side of the square waterproof shell 10. A round waterproof shell 11 is provided outside the sealing ring 20, and an ultrasonic sensor 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the round waterproof shell 11. The inner side of the ultrasonic sensor 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the square waterproof shell 10. A circular hole is provided on the top side of the square waterproof shell 10. A pressure sensor 18 is rotatably connected inside the circular hole. A nut is threaded to the bottom of the pressure sensor 18. The ultrasonic sensor 21 transmits and receives ultrasonic signals to measure parameters such as distance. The pressure sensor 18 monitors the water pressure in real time and transmits the information to the controller through wireless technology to complete the measurement. The accuracy is improved by calculating the data transmitted back from multiple sensors, and the depth of the reservoir is obtained.
[0025] Working principle: When using it, it is necessary to consider the weight, shape, size of the float 16 and the external forces such as water flow and wind that it is expected to withstand. The required counterweight weight and center of gravity position for maintaining the stability of the floating body 16 are calculated through mechanical analysis and relevant formulas. The counterweight block 15 is used for balancing to ensure that the floating body 16 moves on the water surface unaffected by external factors such as water flow. Before being submerged, the rotating plate 13 can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the measuring device. After adjustment, it can be used for surface work. The four propeller motors 17 are remotely controlled by the controller to move the floating body 16, thereby completing multi-angle measurements on the water surface. During measurement, the propeller motors 17 should be stopped to allow it to float on the water surface. Controlling the start and stop of the semi-circular plate 7 and the upper motor 4 is to measure the proximity to the water surface. Continue to control the motors on the side of the round head plate 1 3 and round head plate 2 9 to extend the measuring device into the water. The ultrasonic sensor 21 transmits and receives ultrasonic signals to measure parameters such as distance. The pressure sensor 18 monitors the water pressure in real time. The information is transmitted to the controller via wireless technology to complete the measurement. The accuracy is improved by calculating the data transmitted from multiple sensors to obtain the reservoir depth. If the measurement result has a large deviation, multiple measurements can be taken to obtain a more accurate value.
