[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 A solar-powered valve well online monitoring device includes: a base frame 1, a vertical frame 2 fixedly connected to the base frame 1, a battery 11 installed and connected to the lower end of the vertical frame 2, a monitoring component 3 installed and connected to the lower end of the vertical frame 2, a mounting frame 4 on the vertical frame 2, and a solar panel 41 installed and connected to the mounting frame 4; a convenient maintenance mechanism, including a vertical rod 5, protruding plates at both ends of the vertical frame 2, a vertical rod 5 fixedly connected between the two protruding plates, an adjusting block 51 slidably connected to the vertical rod 5, the adjusting block 51 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 4, a vertical shaft 52 rotatably connected between the two vertical rods 5, a motor 53 installed and connected to the lower protruding plate, the output end of the motor 53 fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 52, and a retraction component at the lower end of the vertical frame 2.

[0021] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vertical shaft 52 is a threaded rod, and the adjusting block 51 is provided with a threaded opening. The adjusting block 51 is threadedly connected to the vertical shaft 52.

[0022] It should be noted that when the motor 53 drives the vertical shaft 52 to rotate, the adjusting block 51 will drive the mounting bracket 4 to slide precisely up and down along the vertical rod 5, ensuring that the solar panel 41 will not be displaced due to external force during maintenance or use, thus facilitating the regular maintenance and upkeep of the solar panel 41 by staff without the need for climbing, making it safer and more efficient.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the vertical frame 2 is provided with a long through groove, and the adjusting block 51 is set in an I-shape. The adjusting block 51 is slidably connected to the long through groove.

[0024] It should be noted that the cooperation between the long through groove and the I-shaped adjusting block 51 provides precise guidance for the sliding of the adjusting block 51, so that it can only slide up and down along the length of the long through groove.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the receiving and releasing assembly includes a horizontal frame plate 6, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical frame 2. A rotating shaft 61 is rotatably connected in the horizontal frame plate 6, and a collecting roller 62 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 61.

[0026] It should be noted that the collecting roller 62 is rotatably connected to the cross frame plate 6 via the rotating shaft 61, allowing it to move flexibly in both forward and reverse directions. When the solar panel 41 moves up and down, the collecting roller 62 rotates synchronously through the gear transmission system, performing the winding and unwinding operation of the cable connecting the solar panel 41 and the battery 11.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a side strip 7 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical frame 2, and a guide tube 71 is fixedly connected to one end of the side strip 7.

[0028] It should be noted that the side strip 7 serves to support and fix the guide tube 71, enabling it to accurately guide the cable's path. The guide tube 71 features a rounded transition design with a smooth, edgeless interior, preventing additional friction and wear on the cable as it passes through. During the cable feeding and unloading process of the collecting roller 62, the guide tube 71 neatly guides or unloads the cable, preventing tangling and ensuring the cable remains in an orderly manner. This facilitates cable management and maintenance by staff and also improves the smoothness and reliability of the cable feeding and unloading process.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a main gear 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical shaft 52, and a connecting shaft 81 is rotatably connected to the other end of the side strip 7. A secondary gear 82 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 81. Both the main gear 8 and the secondary gear 82 are bevel gears, and the main gear 8 and the secondary gear 82 mesh with each other. A pinion 9 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 81, and a large gear 91 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 61. The pinion 9 and the large gear 91 mesh with each other.

[0030] It should be noted that when the vertical shaft 52 rotates, causing the solar panel 41 to move up and down, the main gear 8 rotates accordingly. Through meshing with the bevel gear of the secondary gear 82, the rotation direction is changed by 90 degrees and transmitted to the connecting shaft 81. The connecting shaft 81 then transmits power to the rotating shaft 61 through the meshing of the small gear 9 and the large gear 91, so that the collecting roller 62 rotates synchronously. This ensures that the distance the solar panel 41 moves is precisely matched with the length of the cable retraction, avoiding situations where the cable retraction is too long or too short, and ensuring the safety and reliability of the device during maintenance.

[0031] The working principle of the solar-powered valve well online monitoring device provided by this utility model is as follows: The solar panel 41 is installed on the mounting frame 4. Under sunlight, the solar panel 41 converts light energy into electrical energy, which is transmitted through the line to the battery 11 at the lower end of the vertical frame 2 for storage. The battery 11 provides stable power to the monitoring component 3 at the lower end of the vertical frame 2, enabling the monitoring component 3 to continuously monitor various parameters in the valve well (such as water level, gas concentration, equipment operating status, etc.) in real time, and process and transmit the monitoring data, thereby realizing the online monitoring function of the valve well.

[0032] The motor 53 installed on the lower convex plate is started. The output end of the motor 53 drives the vertical shaft 52 to rotate. The rotation of the vertical shaft 52 will drive the adjusting block 51 to slide up and down along the vertical rod 5, thereby driving the mounting frame 4 and the solar panel 41 to move up and down. This allows the staff to perform regular maintenance and upkeep of the solar panel 41 without having to climb, making it safer and more efficient.

[0033] When maintenance is required, the cable connector plugged into the battery 11 is disconnected beforehand, and one end of the cable connector is installed on the collecting roller 62. When the vertical shaft 52 rotates, the main gear 8 fixedly connected to its lower end rotates accordingly. The main gear 8 and the auxiliary gear 82 are both bevel gears and mesh with each other. The rotation of the main gear 8 will drive the auxiliary gear 82 and the connecting shaft 81 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 81 will drive the rotating shaft 61 and the collecting roller 62 to rotate through the transmission of the small gear 9 and the large gear 91. When the solar panel 41 is adjusted up and down, the rotation of the collecting roller 62 will simultaneously retract and extend the cable connecting the solar panel 41 and the battery 11, preventing the cable from slack and sagging and causing damage, and keeping the cable neat and orderly, which is convenient for equipment maintenance and management.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
