Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water accumulation detection devices, and more specifically, to an alarm device for detecting the depth of water accumulation on urban roads. Background Technology
[0002] Urban flooding refers to the phenomenon of water accumulation in cities caused by heavy or continuous rainfall exceeding the city's drainage capacity. When continuous heavy rainfall causes water accumulation in cities, especially in tunnels, passing vehicles are often unaware of the water depth. If a driver discovers the water is too deep while driving, stopping at this point can easily lead to engine stalling. Therefore, municipal departments install water level detection devices in flood-prone areas to warn passing vehicles. However, existing devices that can automatically detect water level changes generally require independent installation support structures, incurring installation costs. Their detection range is narrow, and their installation height is limited, making them susceptible to submersion and damage in deep water conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes an urban road water depth detection and alarm device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problem, this utility model provides an urban road water depth detection alarm device, suitable for connection with a pole, including a detector body, a connecting frame, and a first mounting buckle. The detector body has an extension end at its top, which extends into the connecting frame. The extension end has a hinge shaft, which is hinged to the connecting frame. The connecting frame has a first mounting buckle, which includes a fixing frame hinged to the connecting frame. One end of the fixing frame has a flip pin, and the flip pin has a flip buckle ring. During installation, the first mounting buckle is placed at the lower end of the pole, and the flip buckle ring is placed on the upper end of the pole. The first mounting buckle suspends the detector body on the pole.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] This utility model provides an urban road water depth detection alarm device. Its two sets of mounting buckles and rotating buckles form an annular through hole. A pole of a specific specification is installed on existing devices in the target area, such as traffic light stands or tunnel roofs. The two sets of mounting buckles are directly fixed onto the pole, thus completing the rapid installation of the detection alarm device. This saves on the support and installation equipment required for water level detection, reducing production costs. Furthermore, the height of traffic light stands and tunnel roofs is much higher than the support devices designed for existing water level detection devices, extending the signal return time node, increasing the detection range, and improving detection accuracy. Its detection efficiency and accuracy are far superior to existing detection equipment. The higher installation position of the device also reduces the risk of it being submerged in water.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.
[0029] See Figures 1 to 7 This utility model provides an urban road water depth detection alarm device, suitable for connection with a pole, including a detector body 1, a connecting frame 2, and a first mounting buckle 3. The top of the detector body 1 is provided with an extension end 110, which extends into the connecting frame 2. The extension end 110 is provided with a hinge shaft 5, which is hinged to the connecting frame 2. The connecting frame 2 is provided with a first mounting buckle 3, which includes a fixing frame 31 hinged to the connecting frame 2. One end of the fixing frame 31 is provided with a flip pin 32, and the flip pin 32 is provided with a flip buckle 33. During installation, the first mounting buckle 3 is placed at the lower end of the pole, and the flip buckle 33 is sleeved on the upper end of the pole. The first mounting buckle 3 suspends the detector body 1 on the pole.
[0030] The detector body 1 is assembled and fixedly connected to the connecting frame 2 through the extension end 110 and the hinge shaft 5. The connecting frame 2 is fixedly set on the detector body 1. The first mounting buckle 3 and the second mounting buckle 4 are arranged side by side. The two sets of mounting buckles can simultaneously establish a sleeve connection with the pole body. The detection alarm device is suspended below the pole body. The ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17 is set in the inner cavity of the detector body 1 and vertically facing the road surface. It can directly detect the water accumulation on the road surface. This solution does not require the design of an independent or special installation and support device for the detection alarm device. The detection alarm device of this solution can be hung at the bottom of traffic lights, at the bottom of tunnels, or on the extension structure of street signs in low-lying areas prone to water accumulation. While detecting the water level depth in real time, the water level detection structure can provide an early warning through the detection signal light 6. If the water level exceeds the warning value, the buzzer 7 will be used to sound an alarm, prompting the driver to detour away from the water accumulation area.
[0031] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first mounting buckle 3 uses the fixing frame 31 as a sleeve structure to the bottom of the rod. Open the flip buckle 33, place the fixing frame 31 at the lower end of the rod, and then flip the flip buckle 33 back to fasten it at the upper end of the rod, thus establishing the limiting sleeve relationship between the first mounting buckle 3 and the rod.
[0032] On the other side of the fixed frame 31, there is a rotating adjustment pin 34, a connecting rod 35 on the rotating adjustment pin 34, a clamping pin 36 on the connecting rod 35, and a clamping buckle 37 on the clamping pin 36. The connecting rod 35 establishes a connection with the other side of the fixed frame 31 through the rotating adjustment pin 34. Rotate the connecting rod 35 into the clamp at the end of the flip buckle 33 to establish a connection between the connecting rod 35 and the flip buckle 33. Then, bend the clamping buckle 37 to fit the clamping buckle 37 into the flip buckle 33 to establish a locking connection. In this state, there will be no displacement between the connecting rod 35 and the clamp, that is, the flip buckle 33 will remain in contact with the fixed frame 31, keeping the detection alarm device always suspended on the pole.
[0033] If other operations are required, rotate the clamping buckle 37 in the opposite direction to disconnect the connection between the connecting rod 35 and the flipping buckle 33, so that the flipping buckle 33 can be flipped out of the upper end of the rod and the detection alarm device can be removed from the rod.
[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting frame 2 is provided with a first connecting plate corresponding to the first mounting buckle 3. The fixing frame 31 is provided with a connecting stud 38. The connecting stud 38 passes through the first connecting plate and is connected to the fastening nut 39. The first mounting buckle 3 is installed on the first connecting plate. The connection relationship with the connecting frame 2 is established through the first connecting plate. The connecting stud 38 passes through the fixing frame 31 and extends under the first connecting plate. The fastening nut 39 is put on the protruding end of the connecting stud 38, thus completing the assembly of the connection structure between the connecting frame 2 and the first mounting buckle 3.
[0035] Next to the first mounting buckle 3, there is a second mounting buckle 4. The second mounting buckle 4 has the same structure and connection method as the first mounting buckle 3. The connecting frame 2 has a second connecting plate corresponding to the second mounting buckle 4. The second mounting buckle 4 works with the first mounting buckle 3 to suspend the detector body 1 on the pole. The second mounting buckle 4 has the same connection method as the first mounting buckle 3, and the second mounting buckle 4 and the first mounting buckle 3 are suspended on the pole synchronously, which can effectively enhance the installation firmness of the detection alarm device.
[0036] See Figure 1 The front end of the connecting frame 2 is equipped with several detection signal lights 6. The detection signal lights 6 are set with orange, purple and white LED beads. The detection signal lights 6 provide warnings according to the alarm rules set by the control terminal. In this embodiment, if the water level on the road surface is less than 10cm, the white light will illuminate to indicate that vehicles and pedestrians can pass normally. If the water level on the road surface is more than 10cm but less than 35cm, the purple light will illuminate to indicate that the water level on the road surface is deep and to proceed with caution. If the water level on the road surface is more than 35cm but less than 50cm, the orange light will illuminate to indicate that the water level on the road surface is very deep and to drive around. If the water level on the road surface is more than 50cm, the orange light will illuminate and the buzzer 7 will sound an alarm to indicate that the area is dangerous and to quickly move away from the area (this type of situation often occurs in sunken road sections, tunnels or underpasses. In extreme weather, the water level may exceed 100cm or even submerge the underpass).
[0037] The detection thresholds for each group of detection devices can be designed according to the actual conditions of the intersection, such as low-lying terrain, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, and other factors.
[0038] The detector body 1 is equipped with a buzzer 7 at the front end. The buzzer 7 is designed to work with the orange light to provide a warning when the water level reaches a high level, thus serving as an auxiliary warning and a clear indication of the warning effect.
[0039] See Figure 2The connecting frame 2 has an external charging line 8 at its rear end, and a signal transceiver 9 is located next to the external charging line 8. The external charging line 8 can be connected to the road administration power supply to provide power for the detection and alarm device and store it, so as to ensure the normal operation of the detection and alarm device during power outages. The signal transceiver 9 can establish a communication network between multiple sets of detection and alarm devices, realize networked detection and early warning for each area, form a regional water accumulation map, and cooperate with the navigation system to broadcast the road conditions in real time to the drivers on the road, prompting them to make reasonable route planning.
[0040] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The detector body 1 includes a hemispherical cover 11, with a reinforcing support layer 12 inside the hemispherical cover 11. A bottom-mounted moisture-proof cover 13 is provided at the bottom of the hemispherical cover 11, and a sealing ring 14 is provided between the bottom-mounted moisture-proof cover 13 and the hemispherical cover 11. The hemispherical cover 11 ensures that the structure of the detection alarm device is an all-around airflow guiding structure, avoiding the negative impact of environmental wind on its installation and ensuring that its bottom is always aligned at a positive downward angle. The reinforcing support layer 12 inside the hemispherical cover 11 enhances its structural strength and prevents the detector body 1 from being damaged by external forces. The outer end of the hemispherical cover 11 is coated with a weather-resistant coating and a hydrophobic coating, which can reduce the erosion caused by sunlight or rainwater and effectively extend the service life of the detector body 1. The bottom-mounted moisture-proof cover 13, together with the sealing ring 14, is sealed and installed at the bottom of the hemispherical cover 11, which can effectively prevent external moisture or even water flow from entering the detector body 1 and ensure the safe operation of electrical components.
[0041] The detector body 1 is equipped with a detection mounting frame 15, which contains an ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17. A storage battery 18 is mounted on the detection mounting frame 15, and a controller 19 is mounted on the storage battery 18. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the storage battery 18 and the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17. The heat sink 16 and the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17 are mounted on the inner cavity of the detector body 1 through the detection mounting frame 15. The ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17 emits detection sound waves to detect the liquid level. The storage battery 18 stores electrical energy under normal conditions to provide power support for liquid level detection during power outages. The controller 19 contains a central processing unit that issues working commands to the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17 and controls the working nodes of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17.
[0042] The bottom-mounted moisture-proof cover 13 is equipped with an acoustic signal transceiver channel aligned with the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 17. This channel is integrally formed with the bottom-mounted moisture-proof cover 13, and the top of the channel is sealed to the inner cavity of the detector body 1. This ensures stable and accurate ultrasonic signal transmission and reception while preventing external moisture from entering the inner cavity of the detector body 1 and affecting the normal use of electrical components.
[0043] The controller 19 is equipped with a clock circuit and a comparison unit. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the signal transceiver 9. The clock circuit can provide a detection time base for the detection process. It can not only detect liquid level data in real time, but also work with the comparison unit to calculate the liquid level change and water accumulation trend. It provides data detection support for the rise or fall of the water level, and predicts the time node when the liquid level reaches the critical value or the fall reaches the safe value, providing a certain basis for judgment for the road conditions to return to normal use.
[0044] This utility model provides an urban road water depth detection alarm device, which differs from existing independently set detection structures. It utilizes structures such as traffic lights or tunnels to directly install the alarm device above the road surface, saving on the need for independent support devices. This allows for direct ultrasonic ranging detection at the detection location, improving the accuracy of water level detection. When installing the alarm device, a pole of suitable specifications is selected or installed at the target installation location. The detector body 1 is directly suspended from the traffic light frame or the tunnel ceiling using the first mounting buckle 3 and the second mounting buckle 4. This allows for direct detection of water level on the road surface and provides feedback to the detection structure via the detection traffic light 6 and buzzer 7, prompting drivers and pedestrians to proceed normally or replan their routes, thus improving travel efficiency.
[0045] Although the disclosure is as stated above, the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
