Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water level monitoring equipment installation technology, and in particular to a device for installing water level monitoring equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Hydropower station drainage systems typically use water level monitoring equipment to monitor the water level in the sump. This sensor is installed on the sump wall and controls the start and stop of the deep well pump by measuring the water level to maintain the sump water level within an acceptable range. In existing technology, a fixed stainless steel bracket is usually installed on the sump wall, and the water level monitoring equipment is fixedly mounted on the bracket to monitor the water level.
[0003] While this method allows for the installation of water level monitoring equipment, the fixed structure of the bracket prevents adjustment of the equipment's position. Therefore, maintenance typically requires a ladder to reach the equipment and perform the necessary work. This maintenance method is rather cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for installing water level monitoring equipment. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An apparatus for mounting water level monitoring equipment includes a support frame and a connecting frame disposed on the support frame and extending radially along the support frame, the connecting frame allowing the water level monitoring equipment to be fixed relative to it.
[0006] The support frame includes a mounting block for fixing to the mounting surface, and an adjusting rod disposed on the mounting block and perpendicular to the mounting block. The connecting frame includes an adjusting part that is sleeved on the adjusting rod and allows movement along the path constructed by the adjusting rod to adjust the distance between the water level monitoring device and the mounting block.
[0007] Furthermore, the adjusting rod is configured as a threaded rod, and the adjusting part is constructed to cooperate with the threaded rod so as to allow the driving adjusting part to move along the path formed by the threaded rod during rotation of the threaded rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a handle is fixed to the end of the adjusting rod. The handle is constructed in any way that is easy to hold, so as to provide a fulcrum for the force when rotating the adjusting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the support frame also includes a limiting rod connected to the mounting block and parallel to the adjusting rod. The connecting frame also includes a limiting part fixed relative to the adjusting part and sleeved on the limiting rod, which allows movement along the path formed by the limiting rod. The limiting part is used to limit the connecting frame during the movement of the adjusting part driven by the adjusting rod.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting frame also includes a connecting rod disposed on the adjusting part, and a movable rod passing through the connecting rod and capable of being fixed relative to the water level monitoring device. The movable rod is configured to allow movement along the axial direction of the connecting rod to adjust the distance between the water level monitoring device and the adjusting rod.
[0011] Furthermore, a locking part is provided on the movable rod, which penetrates the movable rod and is used to abut against the connecting rod in a selective manner, thereby fixing the connecting rod and the movable rod together.
[0012] Furthermore, the device for installing the water level monitoring equipment also includes a ratchet mechanism disposed at the end of the connecting rod and allowing it to be fitted onto the adjustment section, the ratchet mechanism being configured to selectively rotate the connecting rod circumferentially around the adjustment section.
[0013] Furthermore, the ratchet mechanism includes a ratchet gear sleeved on and fixed to the adjusting part, and a fixing part fixed to the end of the connecting rod and sleeved on the ratchet gear. The fixing part is provided with an engaging part, the radially inner side of which is configured to allow engagement with the ratchet gear in a selective manner, thereby limiting the movement of the connecting rod along the circumference of the adjusting part in a selective manner.
[0014] Furthermore, the ratchet includes a fixed ring fixedly sleeved on the adjusting part, and ratchet teeth arranged along the outer contour of the fixed ring and extending outward. The engaging part is configured in a "Y" shape, allowing the engaging part to rotate on the fixed part, so that the radially inner side of the engaging part engages with the ratchet teeth in a selective manner.
[0015] Furthermore, a support rod is rotatably provided on the adjustment part. The support rod extends in an inclined manner and is used to connect with the connecting rod to support the connecting rod.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This invention includes a support frame and a connecting frame extending radially along the support frame, with the connecting frame designed to allow for relative fixation with the water level monitoring equipment. The support frame includes a mounting block for fixing to a mounting surface and an adjusting rod disposed on the mounting block and perpendicular to it. The connecting frame includes an adjusting part fitted onto the adjusting rod and allowing movement along a path constructed by the adjusting rod to adjust the distance between the water level monitoring equipment and the mounting block. In this way, when maintenance of the water level monitoring equipment is required, the adjusting part can be moved to a suitable position along the adjusting rod, thereby allowing the connecting frame and the water level monitoring equipment mounted on the connecting frame to move to the appropriate position, thus enabling maintenance of the water level monitoring equipment. This avoids the cumbersome procedures required for maintaining the water level monitoring equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a device for installing water level monitoring equipment is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0025] For convenience, the direction extending along the adjusting rod will be referred to as "axial direction", "vertical direction" or similar terms, and the direction perpendicular to the "axial direction" will be referred to as "radial direction" or "horizontal direction" or similar terms.
[0026] Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the overall structure of the device for protecting a cavity according to the present invention. In such a way... Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the device 100 for installing a water level monitoring device includes a support frame 1 and a connecting frame 2 disposed on the support frame 1 and extending radially along the support frame 1, the connecting frame 2 being configured to allow it to be fixed relative to the water level monitoring device 10.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a mounting block 11 for fixing relative to the mounting surface (wall or similar), and an adjusting rod 12 disposed on the mounting block 11 and perpendicular to it. Meanwhile, the connecting frame 2 includes an adjusting part 21, which is sleeved on the adjusting rod 12 and allows movement along a path constructed by the adjusting rod 12.
[0028] In this configuration, the adjusting unit 21 can drive the connecting frame 2 to move along the path formed by the adjusting rod 12. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting block 11. Preferably, in this embodiment, the support frame 1 is vertically arranged, while the connecting frame 2 is horizontally arranged.
[0029] In this way, the height of the water level monitoring device 10 can be adjusted as the adjustment unit 21 moves along the adjustment rod 12, thereby enabling the water level monitoring device 10 to be directionally adjusted relative to the horizontal plane (foundation and the like) according to the water level monitoring needs.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting rod 12 is configured as a threaded rod. Simultaneously, the adjusting part 21 is constructed to cooperate with the threaded rod and can be fitted onto the adjusting rod 12. In this way, as the threaded rod 12 rotates, the adjusting part 21 can be driven to move along the path formed by the threaded rod, thereby achieving the adjustment of the installation height of the water level monitoring device 10.
[0031] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 121 is also fixed to the end of the adjusting rod 12. In this embodiment, the handle 121 is constructed in any convenient gripping configuration to provide a fulcrum for the force applied when rotating the adjusting rod 12. In this way, the workload of rotating the adjusting rod 12 can be reduced.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 also includes a limiting rod 13. In this embodiment, the limiting rod 13 is connected to the mounting block 11 and is parallel to the adjusting rod 12. Meanwhile, the connecting frame 2 also includes a limiting part 22. In this embodiment, the limiting part 22 is configured to be fixed relative to the adjusting part 21, sleeved on the limiting rod 13, and allows movement along the path formed by the limiting rod 13.
[0033] In this way, as the adjusting rod 12 drives the adjusting part 21 to move along the adjusting rod 12, the limiting rod 13 can guide the movement of the adjusting part 21, thereby preventing the adjusting part 21 from rotating together with the adjusting rod 12 during the rotation of the adjusting rod 12, and thus preventing the connecting frame 2 from rotating together with the adjusting rod 12. Therefore, during the height adjustment of the water level monitoring device 10, the water level monitoring device 10 can move along the axial direction of the adjusting rod 12.
[0034] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, two mounting blocks 11 are arranged in a corresponding manner, such that the adjusting rod 12 and the limiting rod 13 are respectively connected to the mounting blocks 11, and the adjusting rod 12 is allowed to be rotatably connected to the two mounting blocks 11 respectively. In this way, the connection between the adjusting rod 12 and the limiting rod 13 can be strengthened.
[0035] At the same time, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 also includes a scale plate 14 disposed between two mounting blocks 11 and fixedly connected to each mounting block 11. A plurality of scale lines 141 are evenly distributed along the axis on the scale plate 14. Furthermore, a pointer 221 is fixedly disposed on the limiting part 22, and the pointer 221 is configured to be parallel to the scale lines 141.
[0036] In this way, when the connecting frame 2 moves on the adjusting rod 12, the pointer 221 can move together with the connecting frame 2. Furthermore, during this process, the projection of the pointer 221 will continue to move on the scale plate 14, and will be aligned with the scale line 141 in a selected manner. With this configuration, the height of the connecting frame 2 relative to the horizontal plane (foundation and the like) can be quantified. Simultaneously, the movement distance of the connecting frame 2 on the adjusting rod 12 can also be quantified. Therefore, the installation height of the water level monitoring device 10 can be precisely adjusted.
[0037] In this configuration, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the water level monitoring device 10 relative to the horizontal plane (foundation or similar), a circumferential force is first applied to the handle 121, causing the handle 121 to rotate circumferentially. During this process, the handle 121 drives the adjusting rod 12, which is fixed to it, to rotate circumferentially.
[0038] As the adjusting rod 12 rotates circumferentially, it drives the adjusting part 21, which cooperates with it, to move up and down on the adjusting rod 12. During this process, the limiting part 22, which is fixed to the adjusting part 21, will move up and down on the limiting rod 13, and the limiting part 22 will also limit the circumferential movement of the adjusting part 21 on the adjusting rod 12.
[0039] At this time, a force is continuously applied to the handle 121, causing the adjustment part 21 to move continuously on the adjustment rod 12, which in turn causes the connecting frame 2 to move continuously on the adjustment rod 12 until the pointer 221 on the limiting part 22 is aligned with the initial position of the scale line 141 on the scale plate 14.
[0040] Then, a force is applied to the handle 121 in the opposite direction, causing the adjusting part 21 on the adjusting rod 12 to move in the opposite direction on the adjusting rod 12 until the pointer 221 is aligned with the preset scale line 141. This achieves the adjustment of the installation height of the water level monitoring device 10.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the connecting frame 2 also includes a connecting rod 23 disposed on the adjusting part 21 and extending outward, and a movable rod 24 passing through the connecting rod 23. The free end of the movable rod 24 is configured to be fixed together with the water level monitoring device 10.
[0042] At the same time, such as Figure 2 As shown, the movable rod 24 is configured to allow movement along the axial direction of the connecting rod 23. In this way, the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the adjusting rod 12 can be adjusted. Specifically, in this configuration, the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting surface (wall or similar) can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the installation position of the water level monitoring device 10 in width.
[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2As shown, a locking part 241 is also provided on the movable rod 24. The locking part 241 passes through the movable rod 24 and is used to abut against the connecting rod 23 in a selective manner, thereby fixing the connecting rod 23 and the movable rod 24 together. With this arrangement, after the water level monitoring device 10 is adjusted to the correct position in the width direction, it can be locked by the locking part 241, thereby increasing the stability of the water level monitoring device 10 in the width direction.
[0044] In this configuration, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting surface (wall or similar), a force is first applied to the locking part 241, causing the locking part 241 to disengage from the connecting rod 23. Then, a force is applied to the movable rod 24, causing it to move axially along the connecting rod 23 until the water level monitoring device 10 on the movable rod 24 reaches the appropriate position in width.
[0045] Then, an opposing force is applied to the locking part 241, causing the locking part 241 to abut against the connecting rod 23. This fixes the connecting rod 23 and the movable rod 24 together. In this way, the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting surface (wall or similar) can be adjusted.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device 100 for installing water level monitoring equipment also includes a ratchet mechanism 3 disposed at the end of the connecting rod 23 and allowing it to be sleeved on the adjusting part 21. The ratchet mechanism 3 is configured to selectively rotate the connecting rod 23 around the adjusting part 21. In this way, the spatial position of the water level monitoring equipment 10 can be further adjusted. This increases the applicability of the device 100.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the ratchet mechanism 3 includes a ratchet gear 31 sleeved on and fixedly attached to the adjusting part 21, and a fixing part 32 fixedly attached to the end of the connecting rod 23 and sleeved on the ratchet gear 31. Meanwhile, a locking part 321 is provided on the fixing part 32. The radially inner side of the locking part 321 is configured to allow selective engagement with the ratchet gear 31, thereby selectively limiting the movement of the connecting rod 23 along the circumference of the adjusting part 21.
[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the ratchet 31 includes a fixed ring 311 fixedly sleeved on the adjusting part 21, and ratchet teeth 312 arranged along the outer contour of the fixed ring 311 and extending outward. The engaging part 321 is arranged in a "Y" shape, so that the engaging part 321 can rotate on the fixed part 32, so that the radial inner side of the engaging part 321 engages with the ratchet teeth 312 in a selective manner.
[0049] In this configuration, when the connecting rod 23 needs to rotate along the adjusting part 21, a force is first applied to the engaging part 321, causing it to rotate on the fixing part 32. During this process, the radially inner side of the engaging part 321 disengages from the ratchet 312, allowing the fixing part 32 to rotate along the adjusting part 21, thereby driving the connecting rod 23 to rotate along the adjusting part 21, and ultimately causing the water level monitoring device 10 to rotate.
[0050] However, once the water level monitoring device 10 has rotated to the appropriate position, a force is applied to the engaging part 321 again, causing the radially inner side of the engaging part 321 to mesh with the ratchet 312. At this time, the ratchet 312 restricts the movement of the fixing part 32, thereby limiting the movement of the connecting rod 23. This ensures that the water level monitoring device 10 is stably installed.
[0051] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, a support rod 211 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting part 21. The support rod 211 extends at an angle and is used to connect with the connecting rod 23 to support the connecting rod 23. With this arrangement, the connecting frame 2 can be stably mounted on the support frame 1.
[0052] The operation of the device 100 for installing water level monitoring equipment according to this utility model is as follows.
[0053] When it is necessary to adjust the height of the water level monitoring device 10 relative to the horizontal plane (foundation or similar), a circumferential force is first applied to the handle 121, causing the handle 121 to rotate circumferentially. During this process, the handle 121 drives the adjusting rod 12, which is fixed to it, to rotate circumferentially.
[0054] As the adjusting rod 12 rotates circumferentially, it drives the adjusting part 21, which cooperates with it, to move up and down on the adjusting rod 12. During this process, the limiting part 22, which is fixed to the adjusting part 21, will move up and down on the limiting rod 13, and the limiting part 22 will also limit the circumferential movement of the adjusting part 21 on the adjusting rod 12.
[0055] At this time, a force is continuously applied to the handle 121, causing the adjustment part 21 to move continuously on the adjustment rod 12, which in turn causes the connecting frame 2 to move continuously on the adjustment rod 12 until the pointer 221 on the limiting part 22 is aligned with the initial position of the scale line 141 on the scale plate 14.
[0056] Then, a force is applied to the handle 121 in the opposite direction, causing the adjusting part 21 on the adjusting rod 12 to move in the opposite direction on the adjusting rod 12 until the pointer 221 is aligned with the preset scale line 141. This achieves the adjustment of the installation height of the water level monitoring device 10.
[0057] When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting surface (wall or similar), a force is first applied to the locking part 241, thereby disengaging the locking part 241 from the connecting rod 23. At this time, a force is applied to the movable rod 24, thereby causing the movable rod 24 to move axially along the connecting rod 23 until the water level monitoring device 10 located on the movable rod 24 reaches the appropriate position in width.
[0058] Then, an opposing force is applied to the locking part 241, causing the locking part 241 to abut against the connecting rod 23. This fixes the connecting rod 23 and the movable rod 24 together. In this way, the distance between the water level monitoring device 10 and the mounting surface (wall or similar) can be adjusted.
[0059] When it is necessary to rotate the connecting rod 23 along the adjusting part 21, a force is first applied to the engaging part 321, causing the engaging part 321 to rotate on the fixing part 32. During this process, the radially inner side of the engaging part 321 will disengage from the ratchet 312, allowing the fixing part 32 to rotate along the adjusting part 21, thereby driving the connecting rod 23 to rotate along the adjusting part 21, and ultimately causing the water level monitoring device 10 to rotate.
[0060] However, once the water level monitoring device 10 has rotated to the appropriate position, a force is applied to the engaging part 321 again, causing the radially inner side of the engaging part 321 to mesh with the ratchet 312. At this time, the ratchet 312 restricts the movement of the fixing part 32, thereby limiting the movement of the connecting rod 23. This ensures that the water level monitoring device 10 is stably installed.
[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
