Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of observation device technology, and more specifically, to a floating hydrological water level observation device. Background Technology
[0002] Water level refers to the elevation of the free water surface of a river or other water body above a certain datum, measured in meters. Hydrological water level observation is part of hydrological surveying, mainly involving the observation and recording of water levels in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. The timing and frequency of observations should be based on the principle of being able to measure the complete water level change process. Generally, it is required to observe at least once a day. When the water level change is large, the frequency of observations should be increased. The purpose of water level observation is to understand the process and pattern of water level changes. Existing floating water level observation devices are usually placed directly on the water surface, allowing them to float and drift with the current, with insufficient anchoring, which makes them prone to large positional deviations during the observation process.

The ground anchors 5 are used to anchor the peripheral floating disks 4, and the peripheral floating disks 4 are connected to the central floating disk 1 by connecting cables.
[0026] In this embodiment, the central floating plate 1 includes a float plate 101 and three layers of support plates 102 disposed above the float plate 101. The bottom support plate 102 is fixed to the float plate 101. Multiple support rods 103 are disposed between adjacent support plates 102. Multiple floats 104 are disposed on the outer side of each support plate 102. The diameters of the three support plates 102 decrease sequentially from bottom to top, and the diameter of the bottom support plate 102 is smaller than the diameter of the float plate 101. The top surface of the float plate 101 has an arc-shaped edge on the outer side of the bottom support plate 102, thereby effectively reducing the risk of it being overturned by surges.
[0027] The water level observation component 2 is an ultrasonic depth sounder, which is installed on the bottom surface of the float 101. A protective cylinder 12 is installed below the float 101, with its upper end fixedly connected to the float 101 and its lower end having an observation through-hole 13.

A meteorological buoy is also provided on the top of the central control communication module 15 for monitoring the surrounding wind direction.
[0029] In this embodiment, three outer floating disks 4 are provided, arranged in a triangle outside the central floating disk 1.

Specifically, a sealant or sealing ring can be used. The upper part of the upright passes through the outer floating plate 4. The pressure-type water level sensor 17 is a pressure-type water level sensor with its own communication module, which can transmit the observed structure to an external terminal, thus playing a role in assisting in water level observation. A warning light 19 is also provided on the top of the second power supply 18. The warning light 19 is electrically connected to the second power supply 18, thereby providing a warning effect in the dark.
[0031] The working principle of the floating hydrological level observation device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0032] By setting at least two outer floating disks 4 outside the central floating disk 1, and anchoring the outer floating disks 4 with ground anchors 5, the central floating disk 1 is connected to the outer floating disks 4 with connecting cables, thereby positioning the central floating disk 1 and effectively preventing the central floating disk 1 from shifting significantly.
