Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flow measurement float technology, and in particular relates to a multi-sensor intelligent flow measurement float. Background Technology
[0002] A flow-measuring float is a device designed based on the principle of buoyancy. It is mainly used in hydrology and industry for real-time monitoring of liquid level, flow velocity, and flow direction. Its core function is to achieve accurate measurement by triggering mechanical or electronic signals through its floating state. In terms of working principle, it relies on Archimedes' principle: when the float is immersed in the liquid, the buoyancy and gravity reach equilibrium, and the change in position is directly related to the liquid level or flow velocity. When the flow-measuring float is used to measure the flow on the river surface, it can only detect the river water velocity, which leads to the float's single function and reduces the practicality and functionality of the equipment. Therefore, this device was proposed.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN208621149U discloses a float for a float level gauge, including a sphere. The top of the inner cavity of the sphere has a vacuum chamber. A screw hole is longitudinally opened in the middle of the top of the sphere and is located in the middle of the vacuum chamber. Magnet strips are longitudinally arranged on both the left and right sides of the middle of the inner cavity of the sphere, and the two magnet strips are arranged in parallel and symmetrically. A water injection chamber is opened in the lower part of the inner cavity of the sphere. A water injection port is opened in the lower right part of the sphere and is installed in the middle right part of the water injection chamber. A bolt is provided in the middle of the bottom of the sphere.
[0004] The existing technical documents have the following problems:
[0005] Existing technologies have several drawbacks. For example, when using flow-measuring floats to measure river flow, they can only detect water velocity, resulting in a limited function and reduced practicality and functionality. Furthermore, after deployment, a boat is required to retrieve the float, compromising ease of retrieval. Therefore, we propose a multi-sensor intelligent flow-measuring float. Utility Model Content
