Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological engineering technology, specifically to a hydrological engineering geological water level monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrological engineering, an important branch of water conservancy engineering, is a comprehensive engineering and technical discipline involving the natural laws of water and human activities in the development, utilization, protection, and management of water resources. It mainly includes projects such as flood control, irrigation, hydropower generation, water supply, and drainage. Specifically, in irrigation projects, water level monitoring is achieved through the installation of water level sensors and automatic data acquisition equipment to realize real-time monitoring and data transmission. In areas where automatic monitoring equipment cannot be installed, water levels are observed periodically by hand. However, manual methods largely rely on experience, resulting in low efficiency and accuracy, which hinders widespread application in large-scale irrigation scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrogeological water level monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hydrogeological water level monitoring device, comprising: multiple water level sensors, multiple fixed beacons, a mobile beacon, a processing module, and a communication module, wherein: the water level sensors are arranged equidistantly in the hydrogeological area to be monitored, for collecting water level information of local geological areas during irrigation; the fixed beacons are electrically connected to the water level sensors, for transmitting the collected local water level information to the processing module; the mobile beacons are electrically connected to the fixed beacons and the processing module respectively, for receiving the local geological area water level information sent by the fixed beacons and transmitting the local geological area water level information to the processing module; the processing module is used to analyze and store the water level information of all local geological areas; the communication module is electrically connected to the water level sensors, the fixed beacons, the mobile beacons, the processing module, and the communication module respectively, for realizing information transmission between the modules.

[0005] During operation, because the actual hydrogeological area is not always flat, the water level in different areas may vary during irrigation. Measuring the water level in a single area cannot accurately reflect the overall water level information of the entire geological area. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of water level information in the hydrogeological area, the area to be monitored is divided into multiple equally sized sub-areas. A water level sensor is installed in each sub-area, with the relative positions of the sensors being identical. The water level information collected by the sensors represents the water level information of the corresponding sub-area during irrigation. Each water level sensor is connected to a fixed beacon, and the sensor transmits the collected water level information to the fixed beacon. To ensure the stability of signal transmission, the processing module controls a mobile beacon to move along the layout of the water level sensors over the hydrogeological area. When the mobile beacon enters the radiation range of a fixed beacon, the fixed beacon sends the received water level information to the mobile beacon, which then feeds back the water level information to the processing module. The communication module is responsible for information transmission during the irrigation process.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, by setting up multiple water level sensors to collect water level information in hydrological engineering geological areas, the accuracy of water level monitoring results is improved. At the same time, by combining the use of fixed and mobile beacons, stable and timely transmission of water level information is achieved, improving the efficiency of hydrological engineering water level monitoring and avoiding signal transmission interruptions.

[0007] In one embodiment of this application, the device further includes a drone, wherein the drone is electrically connected to the mobile beacon and is used to control the mobile beacon to enter the radiation range of each fixed beacon in order to receive water level information of all local geological areas.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the drone further includes a monitoring device, wherein the monitoring device is used to photograph the soil irrigation status of the local geological area corresponding to the fixed beacon when the drone enters the radiation range of the fixed beacon.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the device further includes a display module, wherein the display module is electrically connected to the processing module and is used to display the received local geological area information.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, the device further includes an alarm module, which is electrically connected to the processing module and is used to issue an alarm when the processing module determines that the water level information of a local geological area exceeds a preset threshold.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the device further includes a power module, wherein the power module is electrically connected to the water level sensor, the fixed beacon, the moving beacon and the processing module respectively, and is used to supply power to each module.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, the water level sensor includes a pressure water level gauge, an ultrasonic water level gauge, and a radar water level gauge. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figure 1 A hydrogeological water level monitoring device includes: multiple water level sensors 100, multiple fixed beacons 200, a mobile beacon 300, a processing module 400, and a communication module 500. The water level sensors 100 are arranged equidistantly in the hydrogeological area to be monitored, and are used to collect water level information of local geological areas during irrigation. The fixed beacons 200 are electrically connected to the water level sensors 100 and are used to transmit the collected local water level information to the processing module 400. The mobile beacons 300 are electrically connected to both the fixed beacons 200 and the processing module 400, and are used to receive the local geological area water level information transmitted by the fixed beacons 200 and transmit the local geological area water level information to the processing module 400. The processing module 400 is used to analyze and store the water level information of all local geological areas. The communication module 500 is electrically connected to the water level sensors 100, fixed beacons 200, mobile beacons 300, processing module 400, and communication module 500, and is used to realize information transmission between the modules.

[0022] During the work process, since the actual hydrogeological area is not always flat, the water level in different areas may be different during irrigation. The water level measurement of a single area cannot accurately reflect the water level information of the entire geological area. Therefore, in order to improve the accuracy of the water level information of the hydrogeological area, the hydrogeological area to be monitored is divided into multiple sub-areas of equal size. A water level sensor 100 is set in each sub-area. The relative positions of the water level sensor 100 in the sub-areas are the same. The water level information collected by the water level sensor 100 represents the water level information of the sub-area to which it belongs during the irrigation process. Each water level sensor 100 is connected to a fixed beacon 200, and the water level sensor 100 transmits the collected water level information to the fixed beacon 200. To ensure signal transmission stability, the processing module 400 controls the mobile beacon 300 to move along the layout of the water level sensors 100 over the water level engineering geological area. When the mobile beacon 300 enters the radiation range of a fixed beacon 200, the fixed beacon 200 sends the received water level information to the mobile beacon 300, which then feeds the water level information back to the processing module 400. The communication module 500 is responsible for information transmission during the irrigation process.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, by setting up multiple water level sensors 100 to collect water level information in hydrological engineering geological areas, the accuracy of water level monitoring results is improved. At the same time, by combining the use of fixed beacons 200 and mobile beacons 300, stable and timely transmission of water level information is achieved, improving the efficiency of hydrological engineering water level monitoring and avoiding signal transmission interruptions.

[0024] In some embodiments, the device further includes a drone 600, which is electrically connected to a mobile beacon 300 and used to control the mobile beacon 300 to enter the radiation range of each fixed beacon 200 to receive water level information for all local geological areas. The drone 600 ensures the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the mobile beacon 300, avoids stopping at invalid locations and passing through them, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of hydrological engineering water level monitoring.

[0025] In some embodiments, the drone 600 further includes a monitoring device 601, which is used to photograph the soil irrigation status of a local geological area corresponding to the fixed beacon 200 when the drone 600 enters the radiation range of the fixed beacon 200. The monitoring device 601 can be an infrared camera. By photographing the soil irrigation status with the monitoring device 601, it avoids immediately stopping irrigation operations in the area when the water level reaches the standard scale line. Since the geological area is not completely flat, the soil in lower areas may reach the water level line more quickly. By observing the soil irrigation status, i.e., the contrast of soil color, water level information can be analyzed from another dimension. Combined with the information collected by the water level sensor 100, the accuracy of hydrogeological water level monitoring is improved.

[0026] In some embodiments, the device further includes a display module 700, which is electrically connected to the processing module 400 and is used to display the received local geological area information. The display module 700 visualizes the water level information, facilitating quick acquisition of this information by staff.

[0027] In some embodiments, the device further includes an alarm module 800, which is electrically connected to the processing module 400 and is used to issue an alarm when the processing module 400 determines that the water level information in a local geological area exceeds a preset threshold. The alarm module 800 enables timely early warning when abnormal water level information occurs, ensuring effective management of hydrological and geological water level monitoring.

[0028] In some embodiments, the device further includes a power module 900, which is electrically connected to the water level sensor 100, the fixed beacon 200, the moving beacon 300, and the processing module 400, respectively, for supplying power to each module. The power module 900 ensures the stable operation of each module during irrigation.

[0029] In some embodiments, the water level sensor 100 includes a pressure water level gauge, an ultrasonic water level gauge, and a radar water level gauge. By using multiple types of water level sensors 100, targeted processing of water level monitoring for different irrigation scenarios is achieved, improving the accuracy of hydrological and geological water level monitoring.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
