Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil and water conservation monitoring and sediment collection, specifically to a sediment collector for soil and water conservation monitoring in runoff areas. Background Technology

[0002] The runoff area refers to the region through which groundwater flows from the recharge area to the discharge area. Water and soil conservation monitoring is necessary in runoff areas. This monitoring involves long-term investigation, observation, and analysis of the occurrence, development, hazards, and benefits of soil erosion. Through water and soil conservation monitoring, we can understand the types, intensity, and distribution characteristics of soil erosion, its hazards and impacts, its occurrence and development patterns, and its dynamic trends.

[0003] When monitoring soil and water conservation, sediment collectors are needed. However, most current sediment collectors have fixed inlets, making it difficult to monitor sediment concentration at different depths. As a result, they can only collect sediment samples from a specific depth, and the sediment content at different depths may vary significantly. Therefore, they cannot comprehensively reflect the sediment concentration of the entire water body. How to invent a sediment collector for soil and water conservation monitoring in runoff areas to improve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a sediment collector for monitoring soil and water conservation in runoff areas.

[0021] Example, refer to Figures 1-3 A sediment collector for runoff area soil and water conservation monitoring includes a housing 1. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a partition 102, which divides the housing 1 into a filtration chamber 100 and a collection chamber 101. The inner wall of the filtration chamber 100 is provided with a filter screen 3. The housing 1 is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The filter screen is made of 304 stainless steel woven mesh and is inclined. The filter screen 3 cooperates with a connecting port 5. The filter screen 3 can filter mud and water, and the inclined filter screen 3 can discharge sediment from the connecting port 5 into the collection chamber 101. The partition 102 has a connecting port 5 for the filter screen 3. The side wall of the housing 1 has an opening 8 that communicates with the collection chamber 101. The side wall of the housing 1 is hinged. A sealing door 9 is provided to cooperate with the opening 8. Opening the sealing door 9 allows the collected silt to be taken out from the opening 8. A guide plate 6 is provided on the inner side wall of the filter chamber 100. The guide plate 6 is set at an inclination. A drain pipe 7 is provided through the side wall of the box body 1. The guide plate 6 cooperates with the drain pipe 7 so that after the silt is filtered down, it is discharged from the drain pipe 7 with the cooperation of the guide plate 6. It also includes: a knocking mechanism 4: the knocking mechanism 4 is set below the filter screen 3; the knocking mechanism 4 can knock the filter screen 3; and a water inlet position adjustment mechanism 2: the water inlet position adjustment mechanism 2 is set on the side wall of the box body 1. The water inlet position adjustment mechanism 2 can adjust the position of the water inlet and can monitor the silt concentration at different depths.

[0022] The water inlet position adjustment mechanism 2 includes a connecting pipe 200 connected to the filter chamber 100 on the side wall of the housing 1. One end of the connecting pipe 200 is provided with a flexible hose 202, and the other end of the flexible hose 202 is provided with a water inlet pipe 205. The top of the connecting pipe 200 is provided with a support sleeve 201. A movable rod 204 is slidably connected inside the support sleeve 201. A first locking bolt 203 is provided through the side wall of the support sleeve 201. A guide block 206 is sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod 204. The side wall of the guide block 206 is connected to the side wall of the water inlet pipe 205. A second locking bolt 207 is provided through the side wall of the guide block 206.

[0023] It should be noted that the position of the inlet pipe 205 can be adjusted to the target depth, and sediment at different depths can be collected as needed.

[0024] Hose 202 is a corrugated plastic hose.

[0025] It should be noted that the telescopic function of the wave hose 202 can support the vertical and horizontal displacement of the water inlet pipe 205 and can adjust the position of the water inlet of the water inlet pipe 205.

[0026] The striking mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 401 located below the filter screen 3. One end of the rotating shaft 401 is connected to a bearing located on the inner wall of the filter chamber 100, and the other end of the rotating shaft 401 passes through the inner wall of the filter chamber 100 and is connected to a fan blade 400 located on the outside. A cam 402 is fitted onto the outer wall of the rotating shaft 401.

[0027] It should be noted that: the water flow impacts the fan blades 400, driving the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, which in turn causes the cam 402 to periodically strike the filter screen 3, causing the mud and sand attached to the filter screen 3 to be knocked into the collection chamber 101.

[0028] Working principle: Loosen the first locking bolt 203 and the second locking bolt 207. Use the telescopic movable rod 204 and the guide block 206 to slide up and down on the outer wall of the movable rod 204 to adjust the water inlet pipe 205 to the target depth. Then lock and fix it. Water flows through the water inlet pipe 205 and the corrugated hose 202 into the filter chamber 100. The muddy water passes through the inclined filter screen 3, and the mud and sand are filtered down. Then, with the cooperation of the inclined filter screen 3, it slides into the collection chamber 101. The clean water is discharged from the drain pipe 7 under the action of the guide plate 6. The water flow impacts the fan blade 400 to drive the rotating shaft 401 to rotate, which drives the cam 402 to periodically knock the filter screen 3, which can quickly discharge the mud and sand into the collection chamber 101, avoiding the accumulation of mud and sand on the filter screen 3 and causing blockage. Finally, open the sealing door 9 and take out the mud and sand sample from the collection chamber 101.

[0029] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the motor need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
