[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Water resources play an indispensable role in daily life and industrial production. Among these efforts, monitoring water resources is an essential part of water pollution prevention and control.

[0031] In related technologies, operators use water quality monitoring test pens to monitor water bodies in real time. However, the probe is always exposed, whether in use or idle. When carrying the probe, it may collide with external components, which may damage the probe. In addition, impurities may be adsorbed on the surface of the exposed probe, which will affect the measurement results of the probe.

[0032] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a water quality monitoring device, which aims to at least to some extent avoid the probe from colliding with external components, causing damage to the probe and affecting the measurement results of the probe.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the retractable probe water quality monitoring test pen according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A diagram showing the view from below. Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the AA cross-section. Combined with... Figures 1-3 The retractable probe water quality monitoring test pen provided in this application includes a protective cover 200 and a monitoring body 100. A guide portion 210 is provided on the inner wall of the circumferential surface of the protective cover 200. The guide portion 210 includes a guide groove 213, a first positioning groove 211, and a second positioning groove 212. The guide groove 213 is opened along the axial direction of the protective cover 200. The first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 212 are respectively located at both ends of the guide groove 213 and communicate with it. The depth of the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 212 is greater than the depth of the guide groove 213. One axial end of the protective cover 200 is open, and the other axial end of the protective cover 200 has an elastic hole 220. The monitoring body 100 is provided with a monitoring end 110. A probe 120 is provided on the monitoring end 110. The monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 is inserted into the protective cover 200 from one axial end. A retractable positioning protrusion 130 is provided on the circumferential surface of the body. The positioning protrusion 130 can be switched between being located in the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 212. When the positioning protrusion 130 is located in the first positioning groove 211, the probe 120 on the monitoring end 110 is located inside the protective cover 200, and the elastic hole 220 is in a closed state. When the positioning protrusion 130 is located in the second positioning groove 212, at least a portion of the probe 120 on the monitoring end 110 passes through the elastic hole 220 at the other axial end of the protective cover 200 and is located outside the protective cover 200.

[0034] The retractable probe water quality monitoring pen provided in this application, when in use, operates the monitoring body 100, with the positioning protrusion 130 on the monitoring body 100 positioned in the second positioning groove 212. At least a portion of the probe 120 on the monitoring end 110 passes through the elastic hole 220 at the other axial end of the protective cover 200 and is located outside the protective cover 200, allowing the user to monitor water data. When not in use, operates the monitoring body 100, with the positioning protrusion 130 on the monitoring body 100 positioned in the first positioning groove 211. The probe 120 on the monitoring end 110 is located inside the protective cover 200, and the elastic hole 220 is closed, placing the probe 120 in a sealed environment. This configuration not only avoids the technical problem of probe 120 being damaged by collisions with external components through the protective cover 200, but also prevents impurities from adhering to the probe 120 surface, thus avoiding affecting the accuracy of the probe 120 measurement results.

[0035] Figure 4 This shows a front view schematic diagram of the retractable probe water quality monitoring test pen, combined with... Figure 4 For ease of description, we define the retractable probe water quality monitoring test pen as having a height direction, which is defined as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the vertical direction, that is, the guide groove 213 is set vertically, the first positioning groove 211 is located above the guide groove 213, and the second positioning groove 212 is located below the guide groove 213. By operating the monitoring body 100, the monitoring body 100 can be raised and lowered vertically within the protective cover 200. The specific details of the retractable probe water quality monitoring test pen are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the monitoring body 100 is shown. Figure 6 It shows Figure 5 A structural diagram from another perspective. Combined with... Figure 5 as well as Figure 6The monitoring body 100 of this application is generally a hollow cylindrical structure. The monitoring body 100 includes a handheld end 140 and a monitoring end 110, with the handheld end 140 located above and the monitoring end 110 below. The handheld end 140 is positioned outside the protective cover 200 for easy gripping by the user. The monitoring body 100 contains a power supply, circuit board, and other components for monitoring by the probe 120. One side of the handheld end 140 is flat, and a display 300 is integrated on this flat surface to display the water data monitored by the probe 120. Additionally, a speaker 400 can be installed on the top of the handheld end 140 to broadcast the water data monitored by the probe 120. Furthermore, an indicator 500, which can be a signal light, can be installed on the other side of the handheld end 140 to display the pH value information of the water monitored by the probe 120. The arrangement of the display 300, speaker 400 and indicator 500 makes reasonable use of the space of the monitoring body 100 and minimizes the size of the product.

[0037] It should be noted that the display 300, speaker 400, and indicator 500 in this application may only have one of them. The display 300, speaker 400, and indicator are all integrated on the monitoring body 100 and located on the outside of the protective cover 200. The specific configuration can be adjusted according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Combination Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, multiple probes 120 can be provided, integrated into the detection end of the monitoring body 100. Each probe 120 includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a pH electrode, and a residual chlorine electrode to monitor corresponding water quality parameters. Specifically, the pressure sensor monitors the real-time pressure of the water, the temperature sensor monitors the real-time temperature, the pH electrode monitors the real-time pH, and the residual chlorine electrode monitors the real-time residual chlorine content. In a specific implementation, the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 is equipped with a carbon substrate, which can be 30mm × 30mm in size. Multiple sensor arrays are arranged on the carbon substrate using MEMS technology.

[0039] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring subject 100 may integrate the above four types of probes 120, or may only integrate at least one type of probe 120. The specific design can be customized according to the requirements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 7 It shows Figure 5 A cross-sectional schematic diagram. Combined with... Figure 7In some embodiments, the monitoring body 100 has an assembly groove 150 on its circumferential surface. The assembly groove 150 and the positioning protrusion 130 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The positioning protrusion 130 is movably disposed in the assembly groove 150. A first elastic member 160 is provided between the inner end of the positioning protrusion 130 and the bottom of the assembly groove 150. The outer end of the positioning protrusion 130 can extend out of the circumferential surface of the monitoring body 100. Without external force, the positioning protrusion 130 protrudes from the circumferential surface of the monitoring body 100 under the support of the first elastic member 160 and is located in the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212, thereby keeping the monitoring body 100 and the protective cover 200 relatively fixed. When the monitoring body 100 is operated, during the process of the monitoring body 100 moving from the first positioning groove 211 to the guide groove 213, or during the process of moving from the second positioning groove 212 to the guide groove 213, the positioning protrusion 130 moves into the assembly groove 150 under the action of the inner wall of the protective cover 200, and compresses the first elastic member 160, thereby allowing the positioning protrusion 130 to move into the guide groove 213 and move along the guide groove 213 to the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212.

[0041] In specific implementation, the positioning protrusion 130 is a rod structure that is adapted to the assembly groove 150. The outer end of the positioning protrusion 130 is spherical so that the positioning protrusion 130 can move smoothly from the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212 to the guide groove 213. The first elastic element 160 is a spring, which is disposed between the inner end of the positioning protrusion 130 and the bottom of the assembly groove 150.

[0042] In another embodiment, the positioning protrusion 130 may also be elastic, for example, it may be made of an elastic material and vulcanized on the peripheral surface of the monitoring body 100.

[0043] Figure 8 A cross-sectional view of the protective shield 200 is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 8 In some embodiments, the depths of the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 212 are both greater than the depth of the guide groove 213, so that when the positioning protrusion 130 moves from the guide groove 213 to the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212, the first elastic member 160 is in a state of restoring deformation, so that the positioning protrusion 130 abuts against the bottom of the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212, thereby fixing the monitoring body 100 and the protective cover 200 together, so that the probe 120 is kept inside the protective cover 200, or at least a portion of the probe 120 extends out of the protective cover 200.

[0044] Combination Figure 8Furthermore, the ends of the first positioning groove 211 and the second positioning groove 212 facing the guide groove 213 are transitioned by an inclined surface 214. This arrangement allows the positioning protrusion 130 to move smoothly from the first positioning groove 211 or the second positioning groove 212 into the guide groove 213. As for the slope of the inclined surface 214, it can be set according to the actual situation, and this application does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0045] In one embodiment, the length of the guide groove 213 is slightly less than the length of the probe 120. When the positioning protrusion 130 is in the first positioning groove 211, the probe 120 is inside the protective cover 200. When the positioning protrusion 130 moves along the guide groove 213 to the second positioning groove 212, the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 can have a certain gap with the other axial end of the protective cover 200, providing assembly space for the setting of the second elastic element described below. In another embodiment, the length of the guide groove 213 can also be equal to the length of the probe 120. When the positioning protrusion 130 is in the first positioning groove 211, the probe 120 is inside the protective cover 200. When the positioning protrusion 130 moves along the guide groove 213 to the second positioning groove 212, the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 abuts against the other axial end of the protective cover 200.

[0046] It should be noted that the guide portion 210 of this application is provided with multiple circumferentially spaced portions around the protective cover 200, and the positioning protrusions 130 are provided one-to-one with the guide portion 210, with the positioning protrusions 130 slidably disposed within the corresponding guide portion 210. This arrangement can ensure that the force on the monitoring body 100 is balanced, avoiding excessive friction between the monitoring body 100 and the protective cover 200, which would affect the movement of the monitoring body 100 relative to the protective cover 200.

[0047] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, the test pen further includes a second elastic element 170, which is sleeved on the monitoring body 100 and located between the positioning protrusion 130 and the other axial end of the protective cover 200. When the positioning protrusion 130 is in the first positioning groove 211, the probe 120 is inside the protective cover 200, and the second elastic element 170 is in a naturally extended state. When the positioning protrusion 130 moves along the guide groove 213 to the second positioning groove 212, the second elastic element 170 is in and remains in a compressed state. When the positioning protrusion 130 moves from the second positioning groove 212 to the guide groove 213, the second elastic element 170 recovers its deformation, driving the monitoring body 100 to move upward until the positioning protrusion 130 moves into the first positioning groove 211. This configuration improves the user's feel when operating the monitoring body 100, making the test pen a flexible pen. In specific implementation, the second elastic element 170 is a spring, the top end of which is connected to the circumferential surface of the monitoring body 100 and close to the positioning protrusion 130, and the lower end of which is connected to the inner side of one axial end of the protective cover 200.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, since multiple probes 120 are provided, the elastic holes 220 and probes 120 are respectively provided in a one-to-one correspondence, and the probes 120 can pass through the corresponding elastic holes 220.

[0049] In some implementations, at least a portion of the other axial end of the protective cover 200 is elastic, and an elastic hole 220 is formed on the elastic portion of the other axial end of the protective cover 200. When the positioning protrusion 130 is in the first positioning groove 211, the probe 120 is inside the protective cover 200, and the elastic hole 220 is in a closed state. When the positioning protrusion 130 moves along the guide groove 213 to the second positioning groove 212, the probe 120 opens the corresponding elastic hole 220 so that at least a portion of the probe 120 extends out of the other axial end of the protective cover 200 for testing water.

[0050] It should be noted that the statement that at least part of the other axial end of the protective cover 200 is elastic in this application means that the other axial end of the protective cover 200 is elastic, or that the other axial end of the protective cover 200 is elastic only at the location where the elastic hole 220 is provided. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0051] In some embodiments, the test pen further includes a cap (not shown), which is threaded to the other axial end of the protective cover 200. The cap can seal the elastic hole 220 to prevent impurities from adhering to the surface of the probe 120 through the elastic hole 220, thereby improving the accuracy of the test data of the probe 120.

[0052] When using the retractable probe water quality monitoring pen provided in this application, first remove the nut, then press the monitoring body 100 until the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 extends out of the protective cover 200. The user can then release the monitoring body 100 to monitor and obtain water data through the probe 120. After monitoring is complete, the user holds the protective cover 200 with one hand and pulls the monitoring body 100 upwards with the other hand. The probe 120 of the monitoring end 110 of the monitoring body 100 will then retract into the protective cover 200, preventing the probe 120 from colliding with external components and causing damage.
