Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forecasting device technology, specifically to a flood-prone roadbed seepage prevention forecasting device. Background Technology

[0002] Flooded roadbeds refer to roadbeds along rivers, reservoirs, ponds, etc., that are submerged by the design water level. Due to long-term or periodic immersion in water, their stability and safety face special challenges, so special attention needs to be paid to their anti-seepage performance and stability.

[0003] Currently, seepage prevention and early warning for flooded roadbeds are typically carried out using piezometers. Flooded roadbeds are constantly immersed in water, and the dynamic changes in pore water pressure directly affect the stability of the roadbed. Piezometers can measure pore water pressure in real time, capturing even minute pressure fluctuations. For example, during heavy rain or a sudden rise in water level, piezometers can quickly respond to pressure anomalies, providing a basis for early warning and helping to promptly identify potential seepage risks.

[0004] Existing piezometers are usually installed in cabinets, with their sensors buried in the soil to accurately monitor the internal conditions of the roadbed. However, the cabinets where the piezometers are installed are often located at high places, which means that people need to use ladders to work at heights when maintaining the piezometers inside the cabinets, posing a risk of falling. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water-resistant roadbed seepage detection device. This device addresses the issue that the existing technology for detecting and warning of water-resistant roadbed seepage typically relies on piezometers. These piezometers are usually installed in cabinets with their sensors buried in the soil to accurately monitor the internal condition of the roadbed. However, the cabinets containing the piezometers are often located at high places, which requires the use of ladders to maintain the piezometers inside the cabinets. This is inconvenient for maintenance and poses a safety hazard of falling.

[0006] A water-immersion roadbed seepage prevention detection and prediction device includes a cabinet for placing a piezometer, a support pipe connected to the bottom of the cabinet, a cylinder slidably connected to the support pipe, and a lifting mechanism on the cylinder for controlling the support pipe to slide up or down.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a screw, which is threadedly connected to a support pipe. A limit block is located on the outside of the support pipe, and the limit block can slide vertically along a groove provided on the inner wall of the cylinder. The bottom of the screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cylinder. A handwheel is provided on the outside of the cylinder, and the handwheel drives the screw to rotate through a transmission mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably connected to the cylinder through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft is connected to a rotating wheel disposed on the outside of the cylinder, and the other end of the rotating shaft is connected to a first bevel gear disposed inside the cylinder. The first bevel gear is used to transmit power with a second bevel gear disposed on a screw.

[0009] Furthermore, a solar panel is installed on the top of the cabinet. The solar panel is electrically connected to a battery installed inside the cabinet. The battery is electrically connected to a controller installed inside the cabinet. The controller is electrically connected to a piezometer.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting tube is installed at the bottom of the solar panel, which is rotatably connected to the top of the cabinet via a bearing. A fourth bevel gear is installed at the bottom of the mounting tube. A servo motor is installed inside the cabinet, and a third bevel gear is installed on the output shaft of the servo motor. The third bevel gear is used to drive the fourth bevel gear. The servo motor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the top surface of the cabinet is provided with an annular groove with an upward opening, coaxial with the mounting pipe, and a ball bearing with its top abutting against the solar panel is provided in the annular groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a cabinet door is hinged to one side of the cabinet body, and a handle is provided on the cabinet door for controlling the closing or opening of the cabinet door.

[0013] Furthermore, a canopy is provided on the top side of the cabinet.

[0014] Furthermore, the side of the cabinet is also provided with several inclined ventilation holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the piezometer and sensor are electrically connected through a hole located at the bottom of the cabinet.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting up a lifting mechanism to control the height of the cabinet, the height of the cabinet can be lowered when it is necessary to measure the pressure inside the cabinet. This eliminates the need for workers to use ladders to work at heights, avoiding the safety hazard of falling and making the work safer. Attached Figure Description

[0024] It should be noted that the embodiments and features involved in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other without conflict. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 The device shown is a water-immersed roadbed seepage prevention detection and early warning device, including a cabinet 3 for placing a piezometer 4, a support pipe 2 connected to the bottom of the cabinet 3, a cylinder 1 slidably connected to the support pipe 2, and a lifting mechanism provided on the cylinder 1, which is used to control the support pipe 2 to slide up or down.

[0026] In this embodiment, the height of the cabinet 3 is controlled by the lifting mechanism. When the pressure gauge 4 inside the cabinet 3 needs to be accessed, the height of the cabinet 3 can be lowered, so that the staff does not need to use a ladder to work at a high place, avoiding the safety hazard of falling and making the work safer.

[0027] The lifting mechanism includes a screw 5, which is threadedly connected to a support tube 2. A limit block 20 is located on the outside of the support tube 2, and the limit block 20 can slide vertically along a groove set on the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The bottom of the screw 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the cylinder 1. A handwheel 9 is provided on the outside of the cylinder 1, and the handwheel 9 drives the screw 5 to rotate through a transmission mechanism.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and use. The movement of the support tube 2 is restricted by the limiting block 20 and the limiting groove, so that the limiting block 20 can only move vertically. The position of the support tube 2 is controlled by the threaded connection between the screw 5 and the support tube 2.

[0029] A solar panel 11 is installed on the top of the cabinet 3. The solar panel 11 is electrically connected to a battery 19 installed inside the cabinet 3. The battery 19 is electrically connected to a controller 18 installed inside the cabinet 3. The controller 18 is electrically connected to a piezometer 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the solar panel 11 generates electricity using solar energy and stores the electricity in a battery 19, which powers the controller 18 and the piezometer 4. Utilizing solar energy for power generation is more environmentally friendly, saves energy, and facilitates the use of the device. The controller 18 and the piezometer 4 are existing technologies.

[0031] A cabinet door 17 is hinged to one side of the cabinet body 3, and a handle is provided on the cabinet door 17 for controlling the closing or opening of the cabinet door 17.

[0032] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 17 is provided to facilitate opening the cabinet 3, thereby facilitating subsequent maintenance of the piezometer 4 inside the cabinet 3.

[0033] The solar panel 11 has a mounting tube 10 at its bottom, which is rotatably connected to the top of the cabinet 3 via a bearing. A fourth bevel gear is located at the bottom of the mounting tube 10. A servo motor 12 is installed inside the cabinet 3, and a third bevel gear is installed on the output shaft of the servo motor 12. The third bevel gear is used to drive the fourth bevel gear. The servo motor 12 is electrically connected to the controller 18. The solar panel 11 is existing technology.

[0034] In this embodiment, the controller 18 can control the servo motor 12, which in turn controls the third bevel gear to rotate. The third bevel gear and the fourth bevel gear drive each other, thereby controlling the solar panel 11 to rotate, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the orientation of the solar panel in the solar panel 11 and facilitate the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy.

[0035] The top surface of the cabinet 3 is provided with an annular groove with an upward opening, coaxial with the mounting pipe 10, and a ball bearing 15 with its top abutting against the solar panel 11 is provided in the annular groove.

[0036] In this embodiment, the ball bearing 15 and the annular groove are designed to facilitate the smooth rotation of the solar panel 11.

[0037] The top of both sides of cabinet 3 is equipped with a canopy, and the sides of cabinet 3 are also equipped with several slanted ventilation holes.

[0038] In this embodiment, the canopy is used for rain protection, and the ventilation holes are used for ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0039] The sensor of the piezometer 4 can be buried in the roadbed, and the sensor is electrically connected to the piezometer 4 through a hole set at the bottom of the cabinet 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sensor is a prior art device used to transmit data to the piezometer 4.

[0041] Working principle: The solar module 11 stores electricity in the battery 19 through photovoltaic power generation. The battery 19 is used to power the controller 18. The controller 18 is used to control whether to supply power to the servo motor 12 or the manometer 4, and can be used to adjust the corresponding parameters, such as when the servo motor 12 rotates and its rotation speed, so that the solar module 11 can track the sun and better generate photovoltaic power.

[0042] The sensor monitors pore water pressure data in real time and transmits it to the controller 18, which then issues an alarm from the corresponding device on the controller 18.

[0043] When the device needs maintenance, the hand crank is used. The crank drives the screw 5 to rotate through the first and second bevel gears. Due to the limiting block on the outside of the support pipe 2, the support pipe 2 can only move up or down. During maintenance, the support pipe 2 moves down, which in turn moves the cabinet 3 down. The cabinet door 17 located on one side of the cabinet 3 is opened to inspect the equipment inside the cabinet 3, including the piezometer 4. After the maintenance is completed, the cabinet door 17 is closed, and the crank is rotated in the opposite direction to return the cabinet 3 to its original position.

[0044] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including both the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if such modifications and modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include such modifications and modifications.
