[0002] Municipal drainage pipelines, as an important part of urban infrastructure, undertake the key tasks of collecting and transporting rainwater and domestic sewage. Their operation status is directly related to the city's drainage safety and environmental sanitation. Existing sewage monitoring systems generally include sensors (such as level gauges, flow meters, and water quality analyzers) deployed in pipe networks and inspection wells to collect data in real time. At the same time, water quality monitoring is carried out at the sewage discharge outlets in rivers at the sewage discharge terminals for full-stage monitoring of sewage, which facilitates timely detection and treatment.

[0003] Existing large-scale sewage monitoring devices used in municipal engineering projects are heavy and bulky. During transportation, the parts are usually transported in disassembled form. When deploying them, it is necessary to assemble and install various modules such as solar panels and monitoring instruments on-site. Due to the orientation issues after installation, it is also necessary to use a hoisting mechanism on a ship for placement. Therefore, not only is the deployment troublesome, but the operation is also somewhat dangerous, and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a sewage monitor for municipal engineering, thereby solving the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a sewage monitor for municipal engineering is provided, comprising a float, a bottom trough located at the lower center of the float, a submersible monitor located inside the bottom trough, a protective plate fixedly connected to the top of the float, a solar panel mounting frame located above the float, multiple solar panels mounted above the solar panel mounting frame, a wireless communication device fixedly connected to the center of the top of the solar panel mounting frame, a counterweight battery fixedly connected to the bottom of the submersible monitor, a limiting base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight battery, and a limiting buckle provided between the limiting base plate and the bottom trough;

[0006] The pontoon is provided with a limiting seat above the bottom trough. Both sides of the limiting seat are slidably connected to rising support rods, and the middle of the limiting seat is slidably connected to a sinking pull rod. The bottom of the two rising support rods is fixedly connected to a pull rope, and pulleys are rotatably connected to both sides of the middle of the upper part of the limiting seat.

[0007] According to the aforementioned sewage monitor for municipal engineering, the float is equipped with a support frame inside its body and has a stainless steel skin. Multiple limiting telescopic rods are fixedly connected inside the float, and the upper telescopic parts of the multiple limiting telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the solar panel mounting frame.

[0008] According to the aforementioned municipal engineering wastewater monitor, the bottom of the solar mounting bracket is fixedly connected to two rising support rods, and the bottom of the sinking tie rod is fixedly connected to the top of the submersible monitor.

[0009] According to the aforementioned sewage monitor for municipal engineering, the two ends of the pull rope are fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding rising support rod through two pulleys, and the middle part of the pull rope passes through the sinking pull rod.

[0010] According to the aforementioned sewage monitoring device for municipal engineering, both of the rising support rods have a receiving groove on the side near the sinking tie rod to accommodate the pull rope.

[0011] According to the aforementioned sewage monitor for municipal engineering, a monitoring chamber is provided between the submersible monitor and the counterweight battery, and a pH electrode, an ammonia nitrogen sensor, a turbidity probe, and a miniature Doppler flow meter are integrated above the monitoring chamber.

[0012] According to the aforementioned sewage monitor for municipal engineering, an anchor chain connection groove is provided below the limiting base plate.

[0013] The above solution has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model features a limited base and internally sliding rising and sinking support rods. Combined with a liftable solar panel mounting frame, a submersible monitoring device, and a counterweight battery, it can sink to the bottom using the weight of the submersible monitoring device and the counterweight battery under the action of a rope and pulley. Simultaneously, the buoyancy of the float lifts the solar panel away from the water surface, preventing damage caused by prolonged immersion. Furthermore, as the water level rises, the rising float also causes the solar panel to rise further away from the water surface, allowing for self-adjustment within a certain length. This reduces the impact of extreme weather on the device and enhances its practicality.

[0015] 2. The bottom of the pontoon of this utility model is provided with a bottom groove, which can hide the main detection equipment inside the pontoon. At the same time as hiding the monitoring instrument, the solar panel will also retract into the pontoon to form a folded structure, which is convenient for transportation. At the same time, when deploying, simply open the locking limit buckle and roll the pontoon off the boat. When entering the river, it can stand up and be deployed by itself under the action of the center of gravity, without the need for complicated operation, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0016] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

At the same time, when deploying, simply open the lock limit buckle 16, roll the pontoon 1 off the boat, and after entering the river water, it can stand up and be deployed by itself under the action of the center of gravity without complicated operation.

[0027] A limiting seat 8 is installed above the bottom trough 5 through the float 1. Both sides of the limiting seat 8 are slidably connected to rising support rods 9. The bottom of the solar mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the two rising support rods 9. A sinking pull rod 10 is slidably connected to the middle of the limiting seat 8.
