Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological and meteorological monitoring technology, and in particular to a hydrological and meteorological monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrological and meteorological monitoring devices are important equipment used to collect real-time atmospheric environmental parameters of water bodies and their surroundings. They are widely used in environmental monitoring, flood warning, ecological assessment, and weather forecasting of natural water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. These devices typically integrate meteorological sensors, hydrological detection units, and data transmission systems, enabling them to simultaneously acquire various environmental information such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed and direction, water level, and flow velocity. With the development of smart water conservancy and ecological environment monitoring, higher requirements are being placed on the coverage, operational stability, and automation level of monitoring equipment. An ideal hydrological and meteorological monitoring device should not only have the ability to collect multiple parameters simultaneously but also adapt to complex and ever-changing field environments, achieving long-term, continuous, and stable autonomous operation.
[0003] Most existing hydrological and meteorological monitoring equipment is either fixed or passively floating, with fixed monitoring positions or drifting erratically, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the observation area. It cannot respond promptly to emergencies, easily creating monitoring blind spots and affecting the representativeness and timeliness of the data. Although some equipment has mobile capabilities, its propulsion system is simple, lacking multi-directional adjustment and autonomous navigation capabilities, resulting in poor maneuverability. The floating structure is not stable enough, and there is no buoyancy adjustment design. Under the impact of water level changes, wind, waves, or rapid currents, it is easy to tilt, shake, or even capsize, leading to data distortion, high risk of equipment damage, and seriously affecting operational safety and the continuity of long-term monitoring.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a hydrological and meteorological monitoring device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing hydrological and meteorological monitoring equipment, which are mostly fixed or floating, with fixed monitoring range, unresponsive and prone to blind spots; and although some can be moved, they are simple to propel and have poor maneuverability, lack buoyancy adjustment design, have poor stability, and are prone to capsizing in wind and waves, thus affecting data accuracy and operational safety, this utility model provides a hydrological and meteorological monitoring device.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: A hydrological and meteorological monitoring device includes a support plate, a fixed frame, an air cushion, an air valve, a meteorological detector, a limiting plate, a liquid wheel, a fixed plate, a dual-shaft motor, and a bevel gear set.

A meteorological detector is installed at the top center of the support plate. Limiting plates are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the lower part of the support plate, and a liquid wheel is installed on the outer side of each limiting plate. Fixed plates are installed on the left and right sides of the top center of the support plate, and a dual-shaft motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two fixed plates.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame, a camera, and a controller. The support frame is installed between the tops of the two fixed plates, the camera is installed on the top right side of the support frame, and the controller is installed in the front middle of the support frame. The controller is electrically connected to the weather detector, the dual-axis motor, the photovoltaic panel, the battery, and the camera.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a protective shell, with a protective shell installed on the outside of each limiting plate and each fixing plate, and each dual-axis motor and its corresponding bevel gear set located inside the protective shell.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes filters, with filters installed on the outer periphery of each liquid wheel.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention uses two dual-shaft motors in conjunction with bevel gear sets to independently drive the left, right and front and rear hydraulic wheels, providing multi-directional propulsion power for the device, solving the problems of poor mobility, inability to actively respond and coverage of monitoring blind spots of traditional floating monitoring devices, and realizing dynamic inspection of water areas.
[0013] 2. This utility model uses an air cushion and an air valve to adjust buoyancy by fixing the bottom of the support plate between the frames, ensuring that the device floats stably, adapts to changes in water level, and prevents it from overturning.
[0014] 3. This utility model has a filter screen installed on the liquid wheel outside the limiting plate to prevent water plants from clogging it, ensure the normal operation of the liquid wheel in complex waters, and improve operational reliability.
[0015] 4. This utility model utilizes photovoltaic panels to generate electricity and stores it in batteries, providing continuous clean energy, ensuring normal operation at night or in low light, and improving battery life and independence.

[0022] Example: A hydrological and meteorological monitoring device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the system includes a support plate 1, a fixing frame 101, an air cushion 2, an air valve 201, a weather detector 3, a limiting plate 4, a liquid wheel 5, a fixing plate 6, a dual-shaft motor 7, and a bevel gear set 8. Multiple fixing frames 101 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the support plate 1, and air cushions 2 are connected between the fixing frames 101. Air valves 201 are installed on the air cushions 2. A weather detector 3 is installed at the top center of the support plate 1. Limiting plates 4 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the lower part of the support plate 1, and a liquid wheel 5 is installed on the outer side of each limiting plate 4. Fixing plates 6 are installed on the left and right sides of the top center of the support plate 1, and dual-shaft motors 7 are bolted to the outer sides of both fixing plates 6. The output shafts of the two dual-shaft motors 7 are connected to bevel gear sets 8 on the front and rear sides, and each bevel gear set 8 is connected to the corresponding rotating shaft of the liquid wheel 5.
[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a connecting plate 9, a photovoltaic panel 10 and a storage battery 11. The front of the support plate 1 is provided with a connecting plate 9, the top of the connecting plate 9 is equipped with a photovoltaic panel 10, and the top center of the connecting plate 9 is provided with a storage battery 11.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a support frame 12, a camera 13, a controller 14, and a wind speed and direction monitor 15. The support frame 12 is installed between the tops of the two fixed plates 6. The camera 13 is installed on the top right side of the support frame 12. The controller 14 is installed in the front middle of the support frame 12. The wind speed and direction monitor 15 is installed on the top left side of the support frame 12. The controller 14 is electrically connected to the meteorological detector 3, the dual-axis motor 7, the photovoltaic panel 10, the battery 11, the camera 13, and the wind speed and direction monitor 15.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a protective shell 16 and a filter screen 17. Each limiting plate 4 and each fixing plate 6 is equipped with a protective shell 16 on its outer side. Each dual-axis motor 7 and its corresponding bevel gear set 8 are located inside the protective shell 16. Each liquid wheel 5 is provided with a filter screen 17 on its outer periphery.
[0026] When this device is needed, first, place the hydrological and meteorological monitoring device in the target water area. Multiple fixed frames 101 at the bottom of the support plate 1 are connected to an air cushion 2. The air cushion 2 adjusts the internal air pressure through the air valve 201 to control the overall buoyancy of the device, ensuring that it floats stably on the water surface and avoids tilting or sinking. The meteorological detector 3 starts to work, collecting basic meteorological data such as temperature, humidity and air pressure in the environment in real time to provide support for subsequent analysis.
[0027] As the device enters the operating state, the limiting plates 4, which are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the lower part of the support plate 1, play a role in structural support and position limitation. Each limiting plate 4 is equipped with a liquid wheel 5 on its outer side. The outer periphery of the liquid wheel 5 is equipped with a filter screen 17, which can effectively block impurities such as aquatic plants and floating objects from entering the wheel body, prevent blockage, and ensure the smooth rotation of the liquid wheel 5 in the water. When the dual-shaft motor 7 is started, the power is transmitted to the liquid wheel 5 through the bevel gear set 8, driving the liquid wheel 5 to rotate and pushing the device to move autonomously on the water surface or adjust its course, so as to realize dynamic monitoring of different water areas.
[0028] During the movement of the device, the camera 13 continuously captures images of the surrounding environment to record water conditions, surrounding topography, or abnormal situations. The wind speed and direction monitor 15 simultaneously collects wind speed and direction data, which, together with the information obtained by the meteorological detector 3, constitute a complete meteorological parameter system. All collected data are uniformly received and processed by the controller 14. The controller 14 is electrically connected to the meteorological detector 3, the dual-axis motor 7, the camera 13, the wind speed and direction monitor 15, the photovoltaic panel 10, and the battery 11 to realize data integration, equipment control, and power management.
[0029] In terms of energy supply, the photovoltaic panel 10 can convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing green and sustainable power support for the entire device. The electrical energy is stored in the battery 11, ensuring the device can continue to operate at night or in low light conditions, improving the device's environmental adaptability and endurance. To ensure the safe operation of key components, a protective shell 16 is installed on the outside of each limit plate 4 and each fixing plate 6. The dual-axis motor 7 and its corresponding bevel gear set 8 are located inside the protective shell 16, effectively preventing water erosion, external impact or foreign object intrusion, and extending the service life of the equipment.
