Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water level gauges, and more particularly to a radar-type water level gauge with image recognition function. Background Technology

[0002] A radar level gauge is a device that measures water level using high-frequency electromagnetic waves. However, traditional radar level gauges cannot determine the actual situation of the water surface. For example, if a large amount of floating debris accumulates at the sluice gate during the flood season, it can cause problems with flood discharge. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on this, this application provides a radar level gauge with image recognition function. By using the image recognition function, the actual water surface condition can be determined when the radar level gauge data is abnormal, so as to remind river maintenance personnel to deal with it in time and eliminate potential hazards.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a radar-type water level gauge with image recognition function, employing the following technical solution:

[0005] A radar-type water level gauge with image recognition function includes:

[0006] An insulating housing with an internal cavity;

[0007] The control module includes a main control board and an RF board that are electrically connected; both the main control board and the RF board are located within the accommodating cavity, and the main control board is located on the RF board.

[0008] A camera module is disposed within the accommodating cavity and located on the side of the main control board away from the radio frequency board; the camera module is electrically connected to the main control board and is capable of acquiring images outside the insulating housing;

[0009] The antenna module is sealed and installed on the side of the insulating housing near the radio frequency board, and is electrically connected to the radio frequency board.

[0010] Furthermore, a first mounting hole is provided on the side of the insulating housing near the main control board;

[0011] The radar-type water level gauge also includes a transparent lens cover that is sealed and installed in the first mounting hole, and the camera module can acquire images of the outside of the insulating housing through the transparent lens cover.

[0012] Furthermore, a second mounting hole is provided on the side of the insulating housing near the radio frequency board;

[0013] The antenna module is sealed and installed inside the second mounting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a liquid guiding groove is provided on at least one side of the insulating shell, the liquid guiding groove being used to drain liquid from the insulating shell.

[0015] Furthermore, a third mounting hole is provided on the outside of the insulating housing, which is used to install and fix the fixed bracket of the radar-type water level gauge.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages: The insulating housing isolates the accommodating cavity from the outside world, effectively preventing electromagnetic interference to the main control board and radio frequency board, ensuring the measurement stability and accuracy of the water level gauge during use. Simultaneously, by sealing the antenna on the side of the insulating housing close to the radio frequency board, communication between the water level gauge and the outside world can still be achieved even with the insulating housing isolated from the outside. This enables the water level gauge to achieve high-precision and stable communication with the outside world, allowing it to transmit images of the water surface outside the insulating housing captured by the camera module. This enables real-time monitoring of the water surface by personnel, allowing for timely handling of abnormalities such as floating logs or plastic debris on the water surface, preventing environmental pollution.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0025] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a radar-type water level gauge for water surface monitoring, including an insulating housing 100, a control module 200, a camera module 300, and an antenna module 400. The insulating housing 100 has a cavity 110. The control module 200 includes a main control board 210 and a radio frequency board 220 electrically connected. Both the main control board 210 and the radio frequency board 220 are located within the cavity 110, with the main control board 210 positioned above the radio frequency board 220. The camera module 300 is located within the cavity 110 and on the side of the main control board 210 away from the radio frequency board 220. The camera module 300 is electrically connected to the main control board 210 and can acquire images outside the insulating housing 100. The antenna module 400 is sealed and installed on the side of the insulating housing 100 near the radio frequency board 220 and is electrically connected to the radio frequency board 220.

[0027] In this embodiment, the insulating housing 100 insulates the accommodating cavity 110 from the outside world, effectively preventing electromagnetic interference to the main control board 210 and the radio frequency board 220, thus ensuring the measurement stability and accuracy of the water level gauge during use. Simultaneously, by sealing the antenna on the side of the insulating housing 100 closest to the radio frequency board 220, communication between the water level gauge and the outside world is possible even when the insulating housing 100 is insulated from the outside. This enables the water level gauge to achieve high-precision and stable communication with the outside world, allowing it to transmit images of the water surface outside the insulating housing 100 captured by the camera module 300. This enables real-time monitoring of the water surface by personnel, allowing for timely handling of abnormalities such as floating logs or plastic debris on the water surface, preventing environmental pollution.

[0028] In some embodiments, a first mounting hole 120 is provided on the side of the insulating housing 100 near the main control board 210; the water level gauge also includes a transparent lens cover 500 sealed and installed in the first mounting hole 120, and the camera module 300 can acquire images of the outside of the insulating housing 100 through the transparent lens cover 500.

[0029] In this embodiment, the transparent lens cover 500 is sealed and installed in the first mounting hole 120 so that the camera module 300 in the accommodating cavity 110 can collect the water surface conditions outside the insulating housing 100 through the transparent lens cover 500 while ensuring the waterproof and dustproof performance of the insulating housing 100.

[0030] In some embodiments, the transparent lens cover 500 is an acrylic cover plate.

[0031] In some embodiments, a second mounting hole 130 is provided on the side of the insulating housing 100 near the radio frequency board 220; the antenna module 400 is sealed and installed in the second mounting hole 130.

[0032] In this embodiment, the antenna module 400 is sealed and installed inside the second mounting hole 130 to ensure the waterproof and dustproof performance of the insulating housing 100; at the same time, the antenna module 400 is protected from the influence of the insulating housing 100, ensuring the communication performance of the water level gauge.

[0033] In some embodiments, a liquid guiding groove 140 is provided on at least one side of the insulating housing 100 to drain liquid from the insulating housing 100. This is to prevent the liquid on the insulating housing 100 from absorbing external electromagnetic waves and causing electromagnetic interference to the water level gauge, thereby improving the communication performance of the water level gauge.

[0034] Furthermore, the number of liquid guiding grooves 140 on the insulating housing 100 is multiple, which can effectively improve the liquid discharge efficiency on the insulating housing 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the liquid guiding groove 140 is annular or strip-shaped; thus, the annular liquid guiding groove 140 has a wide coverage area on the insulating housing 100, which can effectively improve the liquid discharge efficiency on the insulating housing 100, while the strip-shaped liquid guiding groove 140 occupies little space on the insulating housing 100, which can effectively ensure the structural stability of the insulating housing 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, the insulating housing 100 is provided with a third mounting hole 150, which is used to install and fix the fixing bracket of the water level gauge.

[0037] In practical applications, the third mounting hole 150 on the water level gauge is connected to the fixed bracket by screws, thereby installing and fixing the water level gauge.

[0038] A camera, RTU, and memory card are added to the radar water level gauge. When an abnormal water level is detected, the camera takes a picture of the water surface. The picture is stored on the local memory card and then uploaded to a cloud-based object recognition API via the RTU. The recognition result is then read and sent along with the image to the client to alert the user.

[0039] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this application, but do not limit the patent scope of this application. This application can be implemented in many different forms; rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
