Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water conservancy monitoring and emergency rescue equipment, specifically to a rapid deployment, low-power intelligent luminous water level gauge for water conservancy monitoring, suitable for water level observation at night or in low-light environments. Background Technology

[0002] Before a flood, temporary water level monitoring points need to be quickly deployed near key river channels, flood-prone areas, or bridges. Traditional water gauges and some existing luminous water gauges have many problems:

[0003] First, in terms of installation, traditional water gauges and existing luminous water gauges are extremely complex to install. They often require civil engineering work, such as excavation and foundation fixing. This installation method not only consumes a lot of manpower, resources, and time, but also cannot meet the urgent requirements for timeliness in emergency deployment. In emergency flood control situations, every minute is crucial, and this complex installation method may delay the best monitoring opportunity.

[0004] Secondly, in terms of power supply, they mostly rely on external mains power. However, in areas without electricity, such as the wilderness, mains power cannot be accessed, rendering these water gauges completely inoperable. In many remote river channels and flood-prone mountain areas, there is often no mains power supply, which greatly limits the scope of use of water gauges and makes it impossible to obtain water level information in these critical areas in a timely manner.

[0005] Finally, regarding display quality, issues such as glare and light spots exist. These problems make it difficult for flood control personnel to quickly and accurately identify water level markings when observing from a distance, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of water level monitoring. For example, at night or in low-light conditions, glare may interfere with visibility, and light spots may cause the markings to become blurry, hindering flood control personnel from promptly grasping the water level situation.

[0006] In summary, existing water level monitoring gauges have many shortcomings in terms of ease of installation, power supply adaptability, functional diversity, and display effect, and urgently need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-power, intelligent luminous water gauge for rapid deployment in water conservancy monitoring that solves the above-mentioned problems. It has the advantages of rapid installation, self-powered operation, and clear and intuitive display, and can meet the actual needs of flood control emergency monitoring.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0009] A rapidly deployable, low-power intelligent luminous water gauge for water conservancy monitoring includes a display unit, a power supply unit, and a signal acquisition unit. Its key technical features are as follows: The display unit includes a rectangular water gauge housing, a UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel fixed to the front of the rectangular water gauge housing, a UV-printed layer on the inner side of the UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel, an acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate located behind the UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel, an ESR reflective film attached to the back of the acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate, and LED light strips arranged longitudinally along the side of the acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate. The power supply unit includes a control module built into the rear of the rectangular water gauge housing, a battery cell connected to the control module, and a wireless charging receiver module. The signal acquisition unit includes a non-contact liquid level sensor, a light sensor, and a main control switch connected to the control module. The non-contact liquid level sensor includes an upper limit body and a lower limit body located at the upper and lower ends of the rear of the rectangular water gauge housing. The light sensor and the main control switch are fixed to the top surface of the rectangular water gauge housing.

[0010] The aforementioned water conservancy monitoring rapid deployment low-power intelligent luminescent water gauge has a UV-printed layer containing multiple scale marker blocks evenly arranged from bottom to top on a UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel. Adjacent scale marker blocks are arranged alternately on the left and right. Each scale marker block has five scales. The UV-printed layer also contains digital marks that match the scale marker blocks.

[0011] The aforementioned water conservancy monitoring rapid deployment low-power intelligent luminous water gauge uses an 1860 battery cell arranged along the height direction of an acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate. The control module is fixed above the 1860 battery cell, and the wireless charging receiver module is fixed below the 1860 battery cell.

[0012] The aforementioned rapid-deployment, low-power intelligent luminous water gauge for water conservancy monitoring features a rectangular water gauge housing with an aluminum alloy frame and mounting ears on the outside. This frame structure is not only lightweight but also easy to transport and install. It offers flexible installation methods, allowing for convenient fixing to objects such as trees, concrete piles in river channels, or bridge piers using specialized fixing devices. No complex civil engineering work is required, and installation can be completed by a single person in a short time, greatly meeting the timeliness requirements of emergency deployment.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. In terms of installation, it abandons the complex installation method of traditional water gauges that rely on civil engineering construction, making it lightweight and easy to install.

[0015] 2. Regarding power supply, the system takes into full account the instability of mains power during floods and the absence of mains power in the field. On the one hand, 1860 battery cells are used as the main power source. Through reasonable power management design, it can ensure that the entire water gauge provides stable power for at least 72 hours, meeting the needs of long-term monitoring during floods. On the other hand, a wireless charging receiver module is added. This module is electrically connected to the 1860 battery cells through the control module as an emergency backup charging method.

[0016] 3. The light sensor is used to sense the ambient light intensity in real time. When the water level reaches the lower limit position of the non-contact liquid level sensor or higher, and the external light is insufficient, the control module will activate the LED light strip to help the staff observe the water level. When the light is sufficient, the LED light strip will turn off, effectively reducing power consumption and extending the overall battery life of the equipment.

[0017] 4. The display unit adopts a unique "sandwich" structure. From front to back, it consists of a UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel, an acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate, and an ESR reflective film, with LED light strips attached to the sides of the light guide plate. This structural design utilizes the uniform light guiding characteristics of the light guide plate and the reflective effect of the reflective film to ensure that the light is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the water level gauge, effectively avoiding glare and light spot problems, and ensuring that flood control personnel can quickly and clearly identify the water level markings from a distance.

[0018] Through the above improvements, this utility model effectively solves the problems existing in the current water gauge in flood control emergency monitoring, and can provide more reliable and efficient support for water conservancy monitoring and emergency rescue work.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this water conservancy monitoring device is a rapidly deployable, low-power intelligent luminous water gauge, comprising a display unit, a power supply unit, and a signal acquisition unit.

[0028] The display unit includes a rectangular water level gauge housing 1, a 3mm UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel 4 fixed to the front of the rectangular water level gauge housing 1, a UV-printed layer disposed on the inner side of the UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel 4, a 3mm acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate 6 located behind the UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel 4, an ESR reflective film 5 attached to the back of the acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate 6, and an LED light strip 12 arranged longitudinally along the side of the acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate 6. In this embodiment, the UV-printed layer includes a plurality of scale marking blocks 2 evenly arranged from bottom to top on the UV-resistant acrylic transparent panel 4, with adjacent scale marking blocks 2 arranged alternately on the left and right, and each scale marking block 2 having five scales. The UV-printed layer also includes numerical markings matching the scale marking blocks.

[0029] The power supply unit includes a control module 10 built into the rear of the rectangular water gauge housing 1, a battery cell 11 connected to the control module 10, and a wireless charging receiver module 13. In this embodiment, the battery cell 11 is an 1860 battery cell arranged along the height direction of the acrylic laser-dotted light guide plate 6. This battery cell has a high energy density and can provide stable and long-lasting power to the water gauge. The control module 10 is fixed above the 1860 battery cell, and the wireless charging receiver module 13 is fixed below the 1860 battery cell. The wireless charging receiver module 13 is positioned close to the surface of the water gauge to better receive electromagnetic signals emitted by external wireless charging devices.

[0030] The signal acquisition unit includes a non-contact liquid level sensor, a light sensor 8, and a main control switch 9 connected to the control module 10. The non-contact liquid level sensor includes an upper limit body 3 and a lower limit body 7 located at the upper and lower ends of the rear of the rectangular water level gauge housing 1. The light sensor 8 and the main control switch 9 are fixed to the top surface of the rectangular water level gauge housing 1.

[0031] The rectangular water gauge housing 1 has an aluminum alloy frame with mounting ears (not shown in the figure) on the outside, allowing for easy fixing of the water gauge to objects such as trees, concrete piles in river channels, or bridge piers. The dimensions of the rectangular water gauge housing 1 can be flexibly customized according to actual usage scenarios and needs; for example, common heights range from 2 to 5 meters, and widths from 0.1 to 0.2 meters, to accommodate different water level variations and observation requirements. The frame surface undergoes anti-corrosion treatment to resist long-term outdoor environmental erosion, ensuring the service life of the water gauge.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] 1. When an external wireless charging device approaches, the wireless charging receiver module 13 converts the received electromagnetic signal into electrical energy, and charges the 1860 battery cell through the control module 10. The 1860 battery cell supplies power to the electrical components in this invention.

[0034] 2. The light sensor 8 senses the ambient light intensity in real time. When the ambient light intensity is below a threshold, the light sensor 8 sends a signal to the control module 10, and the LED strip 12 begins to display changes in water level. When the ambient light intensity is above the threshold, the light sensor 8 sends a signal to the control module 10 again, enters a low-power standby mode, and the LED strip 12 turns off. The threshold of the light sensor 8 can be adjusted according to the actual usage scenario and requirements.

[0035] 3. To avoid power consumption during transportation, a main control switch 9 is specially added. The main control switch 9 is installed in the water level gauge power supply circuit. When the water level gauge is in transportation, the main control switch 9 is turned off. After installation at the usage location, the main control switch is turned on to restore power supply and allow the water level gauge to work normally.

[0036] This invention employs epoxy resin potting to ensure airtightness and effectively protect the internal electronic components from moisture, dust, and external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire water gauge system in harsh outdoor environments. This intelligent luminous water gauge has extremely high practical value in water conservancy monitoring and emergency rescue work, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of flood control efforts.

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this utility model.
