Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water level detection, specifically to a water level monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Water level monitoring has a wide range of applications in many fields, such as full-water tests.

[0003] Currently, when observing the liquid level in a pool, a probe is usually used to monitor changes in the liquid level. However, this method requires the operator to manually operate the probe so that the probe tip comes into contact with the water surface. This operation is easily affected by the operator's vision and skill level, thus producing errors.

[0004] Therefore, how to develop a device that can be used for full-water testing, minimizing human intervention and thus reducing testing errors, has become a problem that needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this application proposes a water level monitoring device, the water level monitoring device comprising:

[0006] A support frame, the bottom of which is positioned at the bottom of the water body to be measured;

[0007] The measuring end is fixed to the bracket; wherein,

[0008] The measuring end includes a float assembly and a measuring rod; the float assembly is disposed in the hollow structure of the measuring rod, and the float assembly moves in the measuring rod due to the change in buoyancy of the liquid in the water to be measured.

[0009] Preferably, the support includes: a tripod and a support rod;

[0010] The water level monitoring device is set at the bottom of the water area to be measured via the tripod, the tripod is connected to the support rod, and the measuring end is fixed to the support rod.

[0011] More preferably, the bracket further includes: a connecting rod;

[0012] The measuring rod is fixed to one side of the support rod via the connecting rod.

[0013] More preferably, there are multiple connecting rods, evenly distributed between the measuring rod and the support rod.

[0014] Preferably, the float assembly includes: a float and a slide bar;

[0015] The sliding rod is disposed in the hollow structure of the measuring rod, and the float is fixed to the bottom of the sliding rod. The float moves under the action of the liquid buoyancy change in the water to be measured, thereby driving the sliding rod to move in the middle of the measuring rod.

[0016] More preferably, the measuring rod is provided with a measuring scale; the sliding rod includes a pointer;

[0017] The movement of the slider in the measuring rod causes the pointer on the measuring scale to change the value it points to.

[0018] More preferably, the slide bar further includes an anti-detachment plate; the measuring rod includes a sealing structure;

[0019] The sliding rod moves through the sealing structure in the measuring rod and drives the anti-detachment plate to move. When the anti-detachment plate abuts against the sealing structure, the position of the float assembly in the measuring rod is fixed.

[0020] More preferably, when the buoy is submerged to a preset percentage in the water area to be measured, the buoyancy of the buoy is equal to the weight of the slide rod.

[0021] More preferably, the support rod is a telescopic rod.

[0022] More preferably, the bottom of the tripod has an anti-slip structure.

[0023] The water level monitoring device provided in this application uses a float assembly that moves along the measuring rod due to changes in the buoyancy of the liquid in the water area being measured. By measuring this movement distance, changes in the liquid level in the water area can be directly observed. This method effectively avoids errors caused by liquid level fluctuations, human error, or probe blockage, thus improving monitoring accuracy. Furthermore, this application is easy to install and use, has low operational difficulty, and wide applicability.

[0024] Other features and advantages of this application will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of this application, and the illustrative embodiments and descriptions thereof are used to explain this application. In the drawings:

[0026] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the water level monitoring device according to a preferred embodiment of this application.

[0028] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the water level monitoring device in this application can be used in full-water tests or other scenarios requiring monitoring of water level changes. The water level monitoring device includes a support 1 and a measuring end 2. The support 1 supports the entire device, with its bottom positioned at the bottom of the water area to be tested. The measuring end 2 is fixed to the support 1 and is used to measure changes in the liquid level within the water area to be tested. In this application, the water area to be tested can be a pool or other container, and liquid is injected into the water area during monitoring.

[0030] The measuring end 2 includes a float assembly 21 and a measuring rod 22. The measuring rod 22 is a hollow structure, preferably made of a transparent material, such as high-strength glass. The float assembly 21 is disposed in the hollow structure of the measuring rod 22. When the liquid level in the water to be measured changes, the float assembly 21 moves up and down in the measuring rod 22 due to the change in buoyancy of the liquid in the water to be measured. The monitor can deduce the change in the liquid level in the water to be measured based on the movement distance of the float assembly 21.

[0031] In this application, the float assembly 21 moves automatically according to changes in the liquid level in the water body being measured. The distance it moves directly reflects the changes in the liquid level in the water body, eliminating the need for manual control of the probe to be parallel to the liquid surface before taking a reading, thus reducing the possibility of human error. Furthermore, this application has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the support 1 includes a tripod 11 and a support rod 12. The entire water level monitoring device is placed on the bottom of the water area to be measured using the tripod 11. The tripod 11 is connected to the support rod 12, and the measuring end 2 is fixed to the support rod 12. Preferably, the bottom of the tripod 11 has an anti-slip structure to make the water level monitoring device more stable. The support rod 12 is a telescopic rod, which can be adjusted in length to adapt to different water volume monitoring requirements.

[0033] The bracket 1 further includes connecting rods 13 for fixing the support rod 12 and the measuring rod 22 together. Preferably, there are multiple connecting rods 13, evenly distributed between the measuring rod 22 and the support rod 12, so that the measuring rod 22 is fixed to one side of the support rod 12 by the connecting rods 13.

[0034] The float assembly 21 includes a float 211 and a slide bar 212. The float 211 is preferably a hollow sphere made of lightweight, high-density material, such as polypropylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, and its surface should be as smooth as possible and have good water resistance to ensure good buoyancy and durability in the liquid. The float 211 is fixed to the bottom of the slide bar 212, which is housed within the hollow structure of the measuring rod 22. The slide bar 212 is preferably made of lightweight, wear-resistant, and hard material. When the liquid level in the water being measured changes, the float 211 moves due to the change in buoyancy, causing the slide bar 212 to move within the hollow structure of the measuring rod 22.

[0035] To better observe the movement distance of the float 211 and the sliding rod 212, a measuring scale 23 is provided in the measuring rod 22. This measuring scale 23 can be directly engraved on the measuring rod 22 and is integrally formed with it. The measuring accuracy of the measuring scale 23 is preferably 1 mm, and the measuring range can be adjusted as needed, such as 50 cm, 80 cm, and 100 cm. Correspondingly, the sliding rod 212 may also include a pointer (not shown in the figure). When the sliding rod 212 moves within the measuring rod 22, it causes the pointer to change the value indicated on the measuring scale 23.

[0036] To prevent the float assembly 21 from detaching from the measuring rod 22, the slide rod 212 also includes an anti-detachment plate 2121, which can be disposed at the top of the slide rod 212. Correspondingly, the measuring rod 22 includes a sealing structure 221, which can be disposed inside the measuring rod 22. The diameter of the through hole in the sealing structure 221 is smaller than the diameter of the anti-detachment plate 2121. When the slide rod 212 passes through the through hole of the sealing structure 211 and moves within the measuring rod 22, it will cause the anti-detachment plate 2121 to move. When the anti-detachment plate 2121 abuts against the sealing structure 221, the entire float assembly 21 stops moving downwards within the measuring rod 22, and its position is fixed within the measuring rod 22, preventing it from decreasing with the drop in liquid level. This prevents the float assembly 21 from detaching from the measuring rod 22. Of course, if the liquid level rises, it will lift the float 211 and the slide bar 212, the anti-detachment plate 2121 will detach from the sealing structure 221, and the entire float assembly 21 will move upward in the measuring rod 22.

[0037] Furthermore, the size of the float 211 can be designed based on its material, the weight of the slide rod 212, and the monitoring requirements. In this application, when the float 211 is submerged to a preset percentage in the water to be measured, the buoyancy of the float 211 is equal to the weight of the slide rod 212, and the size of the float 211 can be designed based on this, combined with the material of the float. The preset percentage is preferably 50%.

[0038] In the water level monitoring device provided in this application, the float assembly moves along the measuring rod due to changes in the buoyancy of the liquid in the water area to be measured. By measuring this movement distance, the change in liquid level in the water area to be measured can be directly observed. This method can effectively avoid errors caused by liquid level fluctuations, human error, or probe blockage, thus improving monitoring accuracy. Furthermore, this application is easy to install and use, has low operational difficulty, and wide applicability.

[0039] A full-water test is a common method for detecting the sealing performance of containers, pools, or similar structures. The specific implementation process for conducting a full-water test using the water level monitoring device described in this application is as follows:

[0040] Step 1: Place the water level monitoring device in the pool and fill the pool with water;

[0041] Step 2: Adjust the height of the support rod 12, while the float 211 floats on the water;

[0042] Step 3: Observe the water level in the pool. As the water in the pool evaporates and seeps in, the water level in the pool drops. At the same time, the float 211 and the slide bar 212 move downward in the measuring rod 22. The observer observes and records the value of the pointer in the slide bar 212 pointing to the measuring scale 23.

[0043] Step 4: Calculate the evaporation and seepage based on the value indicated by the pointer on measuring scale 23, and finally determine that the seepage of the pool meets the standard.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. However, this application is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of this application, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0045] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this application will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0046] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this application can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this application, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
