[0002] In existing technologies, the buoyancy detection technology for floating inspection gates has been widely applied in the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering. Traditional detection methods mainly rely on manual observation of water level gauges or mechanical sensors to achieve monitoring functions. Although traditional detection methods can meet basic requirements to a certain extent, they still face many challenges under complex operating conditions.

[0003] For example, if the monitoring method of manually observing water level gauges is used, there are problems such as insufficient real-time performance, limited measurement accuracy, low observation efficiency, and susceptibility to interference from water flow fluctuations.

[0004] If mechanical sensors are used, their structural characteristics make them susceptible to the effects of the underwater environment. They are also prone to data inaccuracy due to the impact and displacement caused by water flow, resulting in data deviation and insufficient stability.

[0005] Therefore, existing methods for detecting the buoyancy of floating inspection gates have certain limitations, which can easily lead to errors and maintenance delays, affecting the safe and reliable operation of the floating inspection gates. Utility Model Content

It can safely and reliably realize the automatic detection of the floating inspection gate's buoyancy, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the detection data. It effectively prevents tilting caused by uneven buoyancy on both sides, and ultimately ensures the safe and reliable operation of the floating inspection gate.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See Figure 1-4 An automatic detection device for the buoyancy of a floating inspection door includes a slide rail structure 3, which is fixedly installed on the floating inspection door. An adjusting slider 2 is mounted on the top of the slide rail structure 3 via a locking element 4. A distance sensor 1 is fixedly mounted on the top of the adjusting slider 2, and a lens protective cover 5 is provided on the top of the adjusting slider 2 and on the side of the distance sensor 1. The distance sensor 1 works in conjunction with the target area and continuously collects target distance data during the buoyancy process of the inspection door. This detection device is designed based on the working characteristics of floating inspection doors, and can safely and reliably realize the automatic detection of the buoyancy of the floating inspection door, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the detection data. It effectively prevents tilting caused by uneven buoyancy on both sides, and ultimately ensures the safe and reliable operation of the floating inspection door. Furthermore, due to the simple structure and convenient adjustment and maintenance operation of the device, it significantly reduces subsequent maintenance time and labor costs. In practical use, the slide rail structure 3 is fixedly installed on the floating inspection door. Then, the adjusting slider 2 is installed on the slide rail structure 3 through the locking part 4, thereby adjusting the position of the distance sensor 1. By aligning the distance sensor 1 with the target area, the floating inspection door's buoyancy can be detected in real time. This effectively avoids the risk of measurement errors and maintenance delays caused by unstable detection device position or inconvenient maintenance.

[0029] Furthermore, the slide rail structure 3 includes a slide rail plate 305. The top surface of the slide rail plate 305 has symmetrically arranged first and second slide grooves 301 and 302 on both sides. The bottom surface of the slide rail plate 305 has symmetrically fixed ear seats 304 on both sides. The ear seats 304 have symmetrically arranged mounting holes 303, which are used to connect with the floating inspection door. Positioning pin holes 306 are machined on both sides of the first and second slide grooves 301 and 302. This slide rail structure 3 facilitates the subsequent adjustable installation of the adjusting slider 2, thereby facilitating its position adjustment and ultimately achieving the purpose of adjusting the installation position of the ranging sensor 1.

[0030] Furthermore, a stop structure 307 is provided at the end of the first slide groove 301 and the second slide groove 302. The stop structure 307 can prevent the adjusting slider 2 from sliding out of the track.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjusting slider 2 includes a U-shaped slider body 201, which mates with the first slide groove 301 and the second slide groove 302. The U-shaped slider body 201 has symmetrically machined locking pin holes 202 on both sides, which mate with positioning pin holes 306 and are locked by the locking member 4. This adjusting slider 2 facilitates its interaction with the slide rail structure 3, thereby enabling the adjustment of the slider 2's installation position.

[0032] Furthermore, the locking element 4 is a positioning pin. The positioning pin is connected to the side of the slide rail structure 3 by threads, and rotating the knob can push the slider to move along the slide rail. The positioning pin is located on the other side of the slide rail structure 3, and positioning pin holes 306 are evenly distributed on the other side of the slide rail structure 3. The positioning pin holes 306 cooperate with the positioning pin to fix the ranging sensor 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the slide rail structure 3 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy material, and its surface is anodized to enhance its corrosion resistance.

[0034] Furthermore, the housing of the ranging sensor 1 is made of corrosion-resistant material and has waterproof properties.

[0035] Furthermore, the housing of the ranging sensor 1 is made of 316 stainless steel or engineering plastic.

[0036] The working process and principle of this utility model:

[0037] In practical applications, such as Figure 4As shown, the range sensor 1 is installed to a predetermined position via the adjusting slider 2. First, the locking piece 4 is released, and the range sensor 1 is moved along the slide rail structure 3 to the target position. Then, the longitudinal position of the range sensor 1 is adjusted through the positioning hole until it is aligned with the target area. Finally, the position of the range sensor 1 is fixed by the locking piece 4. During this process, the angle and distance of the range sensor 1 can be flexibly adjusted.

[0038] Calibrate the initial parameters of distance sensor 1. Distance sensor 1 continuously collects target distance data during the sinking and floating process of the inspection door. Based on the feedback data, the operator can readjust the position of distance sensor 1 and promptly issue an alarm when the sinking of the floating inspection door exceeds the threshold.

[0039] In the above embodiments, all components are assembled strictly according to design requirements to ensure the overall performance of the device is stable and reliable. The external structure of the ranging sensor 1 facilitates daily maintenance, and the high-strength material and anodizing treatment of the slide rail structure 3 enhance the device's corrosion resistance. The positioning pin hole and positioning pin design of the locking component 4 effectively prevent the ranging sensor 1 from shifting position due to water flow impact.

[0040] This utility model is applicable to the maintenance and repair of facilities such as sluice gates and ship locks in water conservancy and hydropower projects. Its modular design improves reliability and reduces the cost of manual inspection.
