Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, specifically to an integrated system for intelligent water conservancy and hydrological monitoring equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrological monitoring refers to the activities of real-time or periodic monitoring of hydrological parameters of water bodies such as rivers, lakes, canals, and reservoirs through a network of hydrological stations, and the analysis and calculation of the monitoring data. Its core objective is to understand the hydrological characteristics of water bodies and their changing patterns, so as to provide a scientific basis for water resource management, disaster early warning, and environmental protection.

[0003] In existing technologies, hydrological monitoring of rivers mostly requires the installation of fixed pillars along the riverbank. Hydrological monitoring equipment is then fixed to these pillars via horizontal bars extending laterally above the water surface. This equipment includes current meters, radar level gauges, and similar instruments. However, natural riverbeds are complex, influenced by topography, landforms, and weather. Sediment carried in the river naturally settles in areas with low flow velocity due to the river's shape. Without human interference, the riverbed shape can change within a few years. In areas with severe soil erosion upstream, this change occurs even more rapidly. Therefore, installing hydrological monitoring equipment in fixed locations quickly loses its advantages, affecting the monitoring results. Furthermore, the frequent disassembly and reassembly of the equipment is cumbersome and requires improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated system for intelligent water conservancy and hydrological monitoring equipment, which solves the problem that hydrological monitoring results are easily affected by changes in riverbed shape when hydrological monitoring equipment is installed in a fixed location in the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A smart water conservancy and hydrological monitoring equipment integration system includes a fixed frame that is horizontally fixedly installed under a bridge by a ceiling screw. The ceiling screw is fixedly connected to the fixed frame by a nut. The bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame is provided with a vertically penetrating groove. A slider is slidably connected in the groove. The bottom of the slider is fixed with an installation frame located below the fixed frame. Hydrological monitoring equipment is installed below the installation frame.

[0007] The fixed frame has two take-up reels installed near both sides, and the same cable is wound around the two take-up reels. The slider is fixedly connected to the cable. The fixed frame also has two stepper motors fixed inside, and the two stepper motors are respectively connected to the two take-up reels. Multiple proximity switches located above the slider are installed horizontally on the top of the inner wall of the fixed frame.

[0008] Preferably, a support sleeve and an elastic pad are movably sleeved on the ceiling screw, both the support sleeve and the elastic pad being located above the fixing frame, with the elastic pad being located above the support sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a slide rail is fixed in the fixed frame at the position on the front and back of the slide groove, and rollers located in the slide rail are installed on the front and back of the slider near the sides.

[0010] Preferably, the hydrological monitoring equipment includes an industrial camera, a flow meter, and a radar level gauge.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the slider is provided with an installation slot that extends upward to the middle for securing the cable, and both sides of the slider are provided with limiting and fixing buckles that are fixed to the cable.

[0012] Preferably, a cable carrier for laying hydrological monitoring equipment is installed laterally inside the fixing frame on the back of the slide. One end of the cable carrier is fixed to the fixing frame, and the other end is fixed to the rear end of the cable conduit that is longitudinally fixed on the slider.

[0013] Preferably, both the slider and the mounting bracket are provided with a cable routing hole located on the front of the cable conduit and extending vertically through it.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention involves installing a large-span fixed frame at the bottom of a bridge spanning a river. Inside the fixed frame is a slider that can move laterally under the drive of a stepper motor. Below the slider, multiple hydrological monitoring devices are integrated and installed via a mounting bracket. During routine monitoring, the laterally movable slider moves the hydrological monitoring devices laterally above the water surface to change their position. By monitoring multiple points, this invention not only adapts to the impact of riverbed changes but also improves the reliability of monitoring data. It solves the problem in existing technologies where hydrological monitoring devices installed in fixed positions are easily affected by changes in riverbed shape, ultimately impacting the hydrological monitoring results.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an integrated system for intelligent water conservancy and hydrological monitoring equipment, including a fixed frame 2 horizontally fixedly installed under a bridge by a ceiling screw 1. The ceiling screw 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2 by a nut. A support sleeve 11 and an elastic pad 12 are movably sleeved on the ceiling screw 1. Both the support sleeve 11 and the elastic pad 12 are located above the fixed frame 2, and the elastic pad 12 is located above the support sleeve 11, supporting the bottom of the bridge between the fixed frame 2 and the bridge bottom, thereby enhancing the installation structure strength of the fixed frame 2 and preventing the ceiling screw 1 from vibrating.

[0025] The bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 2 is provided with a horizontally extending groove 3. A slider 4 is slidably connected in the groove 3. Slide rails 13 are fixed in the fixed frame 2 at the front and back of the groove 3. Rollers 14 are installed in the slide rails 13 at the front and back of the slider 4 near the sides. The slider 4 achieves translational sliding through the rollers 14 and the slide rails 13, with low resistance and reduced energy consumption of the stepper motor 9.

[0026] The bottom of the slider 4 is fixed with a mounting bracket 5 located below the fixed frame 2. The hydrological monitoring equipment 6 is installed below the mounting bracket 5. The hydrological monitoring equipment 6 includes an industrial camera, a flow meter, and a radar level gauge. Through the movable function of the slider 4, multi-point hydrological monitoring can be realized, thereby improving the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0027] Inside the mounting bracket 2, a drag chain 17 is installed horizontally on the back of the slide 3 for laying the cable of the hydrological monitoring equipment 6. One end of the drag chain 17 is fixed to the mounting bracket 2, and the other end is fixed to the rear end of the cable guide tube 18 that is vertically fixed on the slider 4. Both the slider 4 and the mounting bracket 5 are provided with cable routing holes 19 located on the front of the cable guide tube 18 and running vertically through it. The drag chain 17 ensures that the cable of the hydrological monitoring equipment 6 will not get tangled, knotted or dragged when the slider 4 moves left and right, ensuring safe use.

[0028] Inside the fixed frame 2, there are two winding reels 7 near the two sides. The same cable 8 is wound on the two winding reels 7. The slider 4 is fixedly connected to the cable 8. The bottom of the slider 4 is provided with a mounting slot 15 that extends upward to the middle for locking the cable 8. Both sides of the slider 4 are provided with limiting and fixing buckles 16 that are fixed to the cable 8.

[0029] The mounting bracket 2 also has two stepper motors 9 fixed inside. The two stepper motors 9 are respectively connected to the two take-up reels 7. The two stepper motors 9 are connected to a stepper driver to ensure synchronous operation. Multiple proximity switches 10 are installed horizontally on the top of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 2 above the slider 4 as monitoring points to identify the position of the slider 4.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Depending on the width of the river channel, a suitable length of fixing frame 2 is selected. Alternatively, multiple fixing frames 2 can be installed horizontally under the same bridge and fixed by the ceiling screw 1. Two stepper motors 9 drive two winding reels 7 to unwind and wind up synchronously. Under the traction of the cable 8, the slider 4 and the various hydrological monitoring devices 6 integrated below it will move laterally towards the winding side of the winding reel 7, causing the hydrological monitoring devices 6 to change position for multi-point monitoring, adapting to the impact of riverbed changes, and improving the reliability of monitoring results.
