Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of radar current meter technology, and specifically to a radar current meter with a balancing structure. Background Technology
[0002] A radar current meter is a non-contact, continuous flow monitoring device that measures flow velocity, water level, and flow rate. It employs radar planar microwave technology to measure water velocity and level in a non-contact manner. With the rapid development of science and technology in my country, and to reduce the serious damage caused by floods and water pollution to the country and its people, the country now requires the use of advanced flow measurement methods and instruments that can provide highly accurate reports in a short time. Therefore, radar current meters are now widely used.
[0003] However, in the actual installation of radar current meters, the issue of equipment balance has always been a key factor affecting measurement accuracy. If traditional radar current meters are not installed in a horizontally balanced state, it can lead to deviations in the angles of the transmitted and received signals, resulting in significant errors in the measured flow velocity data. This is especially pronounced in complex water flow environments, such as river bends, shallows, and areas with significant flow fluctuations. Furthermore, conventional installation methods make it difficult to quickly and effectively adjust the equipment to a balanced state; the installation process is cumbersome and time-consuming, increasing labor and time costs and potentially affecting the timeliness and accuracy of monitoring work. Utility Model Content
[0004] Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a radar current meter with a balancing structure, which effectively solves the problem that if the traditional radar current meter cannot be installed in a horizontally balanced state, the angle of the transmitted and received signals will deviate, resulting in a large error in the measured flow velocity data.
[0006] Technical solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model provides a radar current meter with a balancing structure, including a current meter. The current meter is fixedly connected to the outside via a connecting rod through a balancing assembly. The balancing assembly includes a chassis, a locking sleeve, a connecting plate, a support cage, and pipe clamps. The chassis is fixed to the top of the current meter, and a bubble tube is fixed to the top of the chassis. The locking sleeve includes a bottom rod and a sleeve sleeved outside the bottom rod. A top rod is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting plate and is sleeved inside the sleeve. The top of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the support cage. Multiple sets of pipe clamps are fixed to the top of the support cage, and the connecting rod is disposed inside the pipe clamps.
[0009] Furthermore, the chassis has a regular polygonal structure, and the bubble tube is fixed to the frame of the chassis.
[0010] Furthermore, both the top rod and the bottom rod are threaded rod structures, and the threads on their outer side walls are in opposite directions. The upper and lower ends of the inner side of the sleeve are engaged and fixed with the two rods.
[0011] Furthermore, the erection cage is a hollow frame structure, and positioning holes are provided through the upper and lower side walls. The erection cage and the bottom connecting plate, as well as the erection cage and the top pipe clamp, are fixed to the positioning holes by connecting bolts to achieve a fixed connection.
[0012] Furthermore, the pipe clamp has a spliced structure and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod by connecting bolts.
[0013] Furthermore, both the locking sleeve and the push rod are located at the corners of the chassis.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known public technology:
[0016] This invention, through its balancing component structure, allows users to fix the flow meter and connecting rod, and adjust the level according to the connection position. During adjustment, multiple sets of locking sleeve structures are placed on the regular polygonal chassis structure, and the offset is displayed through a bubble tube. Users can rotate the outer sleeve structure to drive the top and bottom rod structures on that side to move within the sleeve, thereby achieving height adjustment. Since the bottom and top rods are screw structures with opposite helical structures, they will move inward / outward simultaneously during the movement, achieving height adjustment on that side. The connecting plate is equipped with multiple sets of locking sleeves and bubble tubes, which can monitor and adjust multiple directions to meet the functional requirements of balance.
[0017] In this device, a cage structure is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate and fixedly connected to multiple sets of pipe clamp structures. Therefore, it can be quickly fixedly connected to the connecting rod on the outside or directly sleeved, which facilitates on-site maintenance and disassembly during water surface monitoring.
