Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of earthquake monitoring technology, specifically a portable earthquake monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] An earthquake is a natural phenomenon caused by the fracturing and displacement of rocks on or inside the Earth's surface during crustal movement. Earthquakes are usually accompanied by ground shaking, ground fissures, and ground subsidence, and may cause serious consequences such as building collapse, geological disasters, and casualties. In order to reduce the consequences of earthquakes, we monitor earthquake waves, understand the situation of seismic activity, and provide early warning of possible earthquake disasters to protect people's lives and property.
[0003] Existing technologies often have the following drawbacks: By inserting the seismograph sensor probe connected to the transmission line into the ground, the transmission line is often quite long due to environmental conditions and terrain limitations at the monitoring location. When the transmission line is wound up, its length takes up a lot of space, making it inconvenient to store and carry. During transport, the line may become tangled or twisted. Subsequently, when using the transmission line, the transmitted signal may be distorted, resulting in errors or distortions in the transmitted data and affecting the accuracy of the monitoring system.
[0004] Therefore, portable earthquake monitoring equipment is now available, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the portable earthquake monitoring device includes a seismograph sensor 100, which is installed in a mounting box 101. A probe 200 is located at the lower end of the mounting box 101, and a folding support frame 300 is located on the outside of the probe 200. A fixing sleeve 400 is located at the bottom of the folding support frame 300, and the fixing sleeve 400 is threadedly connected to the folding support frame 300. A cable reel 500 is located at the upper end of the mounting box 101. In use, the fixing sleeve 400 is removed, the folding support frame 300 is opened, the probe 200 is inserted into the ground, and the entire device is supported by the folding support frame 300. Then, the wiring 506 inside the cable reel 500 is connected to the control device, and the earthquake is monitored through the seismograph sensor 100.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the probe 200 is connected to the seismograph sensor 100, and the lower end of the probe 200 is provided with a tip 201. The middle part of the probe 200 is symmetrically provided with four vertical grooves 202. This design makes it easier for the probe 200 to be inserted into different types of ground. Whether it is relatively soft soil or slightly hard ground, the tip 201 can play a good piercing role, ensuring that the equipment can be installed stably.
[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the folding support frame 300 includes a support rod 301 disposed on the outside of the probe 200 and a ring seat 303 sleeved on the probe 200. A connecting rod 305 is provided between the support rod 301 and the ring seat 303. When needed, the folding support frame 300 is unfolded so that the support rod 301 is stably supported on the ground, thereby providing stable support for the mounting box 101 and the seismograph sensor 100 inside, ensuring the accuracy of earthquake monitoring data.
[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the support rod 301 is provided with a connecting seat 302, which is hinged to the mounting box 101. This hinged connection allows the support rod 301 to flexibly adjust its angle within a certain range to adapt to different ground conditions and installation requirements. When the folding support frame 300 is unfolded, the support rod 301 can stably support the mounting box 101 through the connecting seat 302, ensuring that the seismograph sensor 100 is in a suitable working state. When it is not needed, the folding support frame 300 can be easily folded up for easy carrying and storage.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, four sliders 304 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the ring seat 303. The sliders 304 are slidably installed in the vertical slide groove 202. The ring seat 303 is provided with locking bolts. The cooperation between the sliders 304 and the vertical slide groove 202 allows the ring seat 303 to slide up and down on the probe 200, thereby driving the entire folding support frame 300 to adjust in the height direction. The position of the ring seat 303 can be locked by the locking bolts.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the connecting rod 305 is hinged to the support rod 301, and the other end is hinged to the ring seat 303. When the ring seat 303 slides on the probe 200, the connecting rod 305 can change its angle and length accordingly, thereby driving the support rod 301 to unfold and fold. At the same time, it can also adjust the support state of the support rod 301 in real time according to the changes in terrain, so as to ensure the overall stability and reliability of the equipment.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cable take-up box 500 includes a box body 501 located at the top of the mounting box 101. The box body 501 has a partition 502 inside, and a shaft 503 is rotatably mounted on the partition 502. A cable take-up assembly is mounted on the shaft 503. The partition 502 reasonably divides the internal space of the box body 501, ensuring that the cable take-up assembly can work stably and orderly, making it convenient for users to quickly take in and out the cable 506, and improving the ease of use of the equipment.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the winding assembly includes a return spring 504 located at the lower end of the partition 502. One end of the return spring 504 is fixedly connected to the shaft 503, and the other end is fixedly connected to the housing 501. The upper end of the shaft 503 is provided with a winding wheel 505 for winding the wire 506. One end of the wire 506 is provided with a connector 507. When the wire 506 is needed, the wire 506 is pulled, and the winding wheel 505 rotates on the shaft 503. At the same time, the return spring 504 is stretched, generating a rebound force. When the wire 506 is pulled out to the required length, the wire 506 is released. The rebound force of the return spring 504 can prevent the wire 506 from becoming loose, keeping the wire 506 neat and orderly. After use, through the elastic force of the return spring 504, the winding wheel 505 can automatically wind the wire 506 back into the housing 501, which is convenient and quick.
[0031] The above embodiments disclose a portable earthquake monitoring device. In use, first remove the fixing sleeve 400, unfold the folding support frame 300, and lock the position of the ring seat 303 by locking the bolts, thereby locking the unfolding angle of the support rod 301, so that the support rod 301 is stably supported on the ground. At the same time, insert the probe 200 into the ground. The entire device is supported by the folding support frame 300. Then, connect the wiring 506 in the take-up box 500 to the control device. The earthquake is monitored by the seismograph sensor 100. After use, unplug the connector 507. Through the elastic force of the return spring 504, the winding wheel 505 can automatically wind the wiring 506 back into the box 501, which is convenient and quick. Then, pull out the probe 200 and retract the folding support frame 300. Then, connect the fixing sleeve 400 to the lower end of the folding support frame 300.
[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
