[0023] To address the problems of inconvenient sampling and inaccurate monitoring data in existing technologies, this application provides a monitoring and sampling device integrating a main pipe 3, a metal water intake hopper 6, a magnetic docking part, and a lifting rope, applied to the permeable layer 1 of LID (Light Identification and Disposal) facilities in sponge cities. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1-5The device includes: a main tube 3, which is vertically buried in the permeable layer 1 of the LID facility, and has an array of multiple permeable blind pipe holes to guide rainwater from the surrounding soil into the interior of the main tube 3; a metal water collection hopper 6, which is disposed inside the main tube 3 to collect infiltrated rainwater samples; a magnetic docking part, which is disposed on the inner wall of the main tube 3 and magnetically connected to the metal water collection hopper 6 to achieve stable installation and convenient disassembly of the metal water collection hopper 6; and a lifting rope, one end of which is fixed to the top of the metal water collection hopper 6 and the other end extends to the ground, for lifting the metal water collection hopper 6 to the ground for sampling operations by pulling the rope externally.
[0024] In this embodiment, the main tube 3 is made of PVC material.
[0025] In this embodiment, the permeable blind pipe array is arranged along the axial direction of the main tube 3, and the arrangement position of the permeable blind pipe array corresponds to the preset target height. Each permeable blind pipe array includes multiple permeable blind pipe holes 2, and the permeable blind pipe holes 2 are distributed in a ring on the outer wall of the main tube 3. The diameter of the permeable blind pipe holes 2 is 2-5mm, and the spacing is 10-15cm.
[0026] In this embodiment, a drain pipe 13 is also included. The drain pipe 13 is located below the main body pipe 3 and is used to drain residual water during non-rainy periods or after sampling to prevent water sample retention from affecting the accuracy of subsequent sampling. The bottom of the main body pipe 3 is provided with a drain interface 12 for connecting the drain pipe 13 to facilitate the drainage of residual water.
[0027] In this embodiment, the main pipe 3, as the core structure of the device, is made of PVC material, possessing good corrosion resistance and pressure resistance. Its diameter is set to 200mm, and its length can be set according to the depth of the LID facility's permeable layer 1, generally 1.5–2.5m. The outer wall of the pipe is provided with a ring-shaped array of permeable blind pipe holes, and the arrangement of these holes corresponds to a preset target height. For example, three permeable blind pipe hole arrays are arranged axially on the outer wall of the main pipe 3, at heights of 0.5m, 1.0m, and 1.5m respectively. Each permeable blind pipe hole array includes multiple permeable blind pipe holes 2, with a diameter of 2–5mm and a spacing of 10–15cm. For example, the hole diameter is set to 3mm and the spacing to 12cm. Laser drilling is used to ensure uniform rainwater infiltration. A drainage interface 12 is provided at the bottom of the pipe for connecting to an external drainage pipe 13 to facilitate the drainage of residual water.
[0028] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the main tube 3 is also provided with a longitudinal guide groove 8.
[0029] In this embodiment, the side of the metal water hopper 6 is provided with a guide key 7 that is adapted to the longitudinal guide groove 8.
[0030] In this embodiment, through the synergistic effect of the longitudinal guide groove 8 and the guide key 7, for example, two guide keys 7 are provided on the outer wall of the metal water hopper 6, and two matching longitudinal guide grooves 8 are provided at corresponding positions on the inner wall of the main body tube 3, so as to ensure that the metal water hopper 6 moves stably vertically within the main body tube 3, and further prevent the metal water hopper 6 from rotating and shifting.
[0031] In this embodiment, the top of the main tube 3 is also provided with a sealing cover 4. The sealing cover 4 is fixed to the main tube 3 by a pressure cover to prevent surface debris from entering. The sealing cover 4 is provided with a transparent viewing window 5 to facilitate real-time visual inspection of the water seepage status inside the main tube 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, by providing a sealing cover 4, it is possible to prevent surface debris from entering. At the same time, the sealing cover 4 is easily disassembled and reassembled by the pressure cap fixing method between the sealing cover 4 and the main tube 3, so as to carry out the subsequent operation of removing the metal water collection bucket 6. In addition, by providing a transparent viewing window 5 on the sealing cover 4, it is easy to visually inspect the water seepage status inside the main tube 3 in real time. Furthermore, in order to prevent the transparent viewing window 5 from becoming dirty or blurry due to long-term use and affecting the observation effect, a hydrophobic coating (such as polysiloxane) is applied to the transparent viewing window 5 involved in this application to improve clarity.
[0033] In this embodiment, the top of the metal water hopper 6 is provided with a funnel-shaped guide surface 15, the interior of the metal water hopper 6 is provided with a water sample collection chamber 9 that communicates with the funnel-shaped guide surface 15, the bottom of the metal water hopper 6 is provided with a water outlet pipe 10, the water sample collection chamber 9 is connected to the water outlet pipe 10, the water outlet pipe 10 is provided with a ball valve 11, and the outer wall of the metal water hopper 6 is provided with an arc-shaped magnetic connection part 16, which is magnetically connected to the magnetic attraction docking part.
[0034] In this embodiment, the metal water collection hopper 6 can be made of 304 stainless steel, and is cylindrical in shape with a diameter of 180mm and a height of 200mm. An arc-shaped magnetic connecting part 16 (i.e., an arc-shaped magnetic metal plate) is provided on the lower outer wall of the metal water collection hopper 6. This, in conjunction with the magnetic attraction docking part, enables rapid positioning and installation. Its working principle is as follows: when the metal water collection hopper 6 slides along the longitudinal guide groove 8 inside the main tube 3 to the preset target height, the arc-shaped magnetic connecting part 16 automatically aligns with the corresponding magnetic attraction docking part, and the magnetic lines of force close to generate an adsorption force (measured adsorption force ≥ 50N), achieving tool-free rapid positioning. The interior of the metal water collection hopper 6 is provided with a water sample collection chamber 9, and a water outlet pipe 10 is provided at its bottom for easy drainage after sampling. A funnel-shaped guide surface 15 is provided on the top of the metal water intake hopper 6. For example, the diameter of the funnel-shaped guide surface 15 gradually decreases from Φ180mm to Φ150mm. This enables the directional flow of rainwater from the main pipe 3 to the metal water intake hopper 6, while ensuring the hydraulic connectivity of the metal water intake hopper 6 when it is installed at different heights.
[0035] In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction docking part includes an arc-shaped groove 17 and a permanent magnet 18 fitted into the arc-shaped groove 17.
[0036] In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction docking part is set on the inner wall of the main tube 3. A permanent magnet 18 is used to form a magnetic attraction connection with the arc-shaped magnetic metal plate below the outer wall of the metal water intake hopper 6 to ensure that the metal water intake hopper 6 remains stable and does not shift during the seepage process. Multiple magnetic attraction docking parts are set. It should be noted that the arrangement position of the magnetic attraction docking parts corresponds to the position of the arc-shaped magnetic connection part 16 when the metal water intake hopper 6 is sampling at the preset target position. That is, the arrangement height of the permeable blind pipe hole array set at the preset target position of the main tube 3 is higher than the arrangement position of the magnetic attraction docking parts. At the same time, in order to facilitate the collection of water samples, the arrangement height of the permeable blind pipe hole array set at the preset target position of the main tube 3 is also slightly higher than the top of the metal water intake hopper 6 (0.5~1cm), so that the metal water intake hopper 6 can be installed at different preset target heights, thereby adapting to the sampling needs of different permeation layer depths. The magnetic docking part adopts a modular embedded structure, specifically: an arc-shaped groove 17 is opened in the inner wall of the main tube 3, and a permanent magnet 18 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 17. The permanent magnet 18 can be a stainless steel-coated NdFeB (neodymium iron boron) magnet with a size of Φ15mm×5mm and a magnetic induction intensity ≥0.45T. The groove is embedded in the inner wall of the main tube 3 to a depth of 3-5mm, and the surface is sealed with a polyurethane waterproof layer to ensure long-term buried stability.
[0037] In this embodiment, a manual winding device 14 is also provided on the ground and connected to the lifting rope. By providing the manual winding device 14 (such as a winch), after sampling is completed, the metal water collection bucket 6 is lifted to the ground along the inside of the main tube 3, which facilitates safe sampling by operators and subsequent water quality testing.
[0038] In this embodiment, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: During rainfall, rainwater enters the soil through the LID facility infiltration layer 1, and then enters the pipe through the permeable blind pipe hole 2 on the side wall of the main pipe 3. The metal water collection bucket 6 is fixed at a preset target height by a magnetic docking part to collect rainwater infiltrating at different depths. The operator can visually inspect the seepage status inside the main pipe 3 in real time through the transparent viewing window 5, and easily monitor the water quality characteristics such as color and turbidity inside the main pipe 3 in real time to determine whether sampling is necessary. When sampling is required, the operator uses the manual winding device 14 to drive the lifting rope to slowly pull the metal water collection bucket 6 to the ground, uses a standard sampling bottle to collect the water sample, and then puts the metal water collection bucket 6 back in its original position. After the collection is completed, the ball valve 11 is opened to drain the residual water to prevent interference with the next sampling.
[0039] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
