[0002] In the field of river hydrological monitoring, monitoring equipment is frequently used to acquire various hydrological data of the river in real time. During river hydrological monitoring, to ensure the accuracy and continuity of the monitoring data, the monitoring equipment needs to be stably fixed in the river channel and unaffected by factors such as water flow. However, traditional river hydrological monitoring equipment lacks a fixed anchoring structure, making it prone to swaying or even displacement under the impact of water flow. This leads to deviations in the monitoring data due to equipment swaying or displacement, failing to accurately reflect the actual hydrological conditions of the river. This not only affects the normal progress of monitoring work, resulting in missing or inaccurate data, but also increases costs due to frequent equipment repairs or replacements, ultimately impacting the efficiency and quality of hydrological monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a river hydrological monitoring device with a fixed anchoring structure, thereby solving the technical problem that traditional river hydrological monitoring devices in the prior art do not have a fixed anchoring structure.

[0004] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's river hydrological monitoring device with a fixed anchoring structure are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0005] A river hydrological monitoring device with a fixed anchoring structure includes a housing, a cover plate on the housing, the cover plate covering the housing to form an installation cavity, a waterproof rubber ring between the housing and the cover plate, a control module, a communication module, a pull-wire encoder, and a battery installed in the installation cavity, a slot provided in the installation cavity for the battery to be secured in the slot, a measuring hole on the housing for the pull-wire encoder pull rope to pass through the measuring hole, a bottom cover installed at the bottom of the housing, the bottom cover fastening to the bottom of the housing to form a floating chamber, a water-proof pipe provided in the floating chamber, the water-proof pipe passing through the measuring hole, a telescopic rod installed at the bottom of the bottom cover, the telescopic rod communicating with the water-proof pipe, and an anchoring component installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod.

A pull ring is provided on the top of the connecting plate, the telescopic rod is sleeved on the pull ring, and the pull rope of the pull encoder passes through the water-proof pipe and the telescopic rod, and is connected to the pull ring.

[0007] According to a preferred embodiment, the anchoring assembly further includes an anchoring block, which is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate. Both are triangular in shape. The anchoring block has a counterweight groove, which is filled with a counterweight block. The connecting plate is fastened to the counterweight groove.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment, the anchor block has multiple sets of mounting holes, which are located in the triangle of the anchor block and one set is located at the bottom of the anchor block. An anchor rod is inserted into each mounting hole, and the anchor rod located at the bottom of the anchor block is shorter than the other anchor rods.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment, the anchor rod is rotatably connected to the mounting hole, and the anchor rod is conical with helical blades arranged on its periphery.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom cover is provided with three sets of fixing ears, and an anchoring rope is connected to the fixing ears. The other end of the anchoring rope is connected to an auxiliary anchoring plate, and a fixing hole is opened on the auxiliary anchoring plate. Another set of anchoring rods is inserted into the fixing hole.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, an air bladder is provided around the periphery of the outer shell, the air bladder has a semi-circular cross-section, and the air bladder is filled with nitrogen gas.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention utilizes the housing and cover plate to form a mounting cavity, which is waterproofed with a waterproof gasket, providing protection for the internal control module, communication module, pull-wire encoder, and battery.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Example

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a river hydrological monitoring device with a fixed anchoring structure, comprising a housing 11 as the main body. A cover plate 12 is provided on the housing 11, and the cover plate 12 covers the housing 11, forming a mounting cavity together. A waterproof rubber ring is provided between the housing 11 and the cover plate 12, which can effectively prevent water from entering the mounting cavity and provide reliable waterproof protection for the internal electronic components. A control module 13, a communication module 14, a pull-wire encoder 15, and a battery 16 are installed in the mounting cavity. The control module 13 can be a Jetson Nano control module, and the communication module 14 can be a SIM7600CE-H4GLTE communication module. Three sets of partitions are provided in the mounting cavity, with the control module 13 and the communication module 14 located between two sets of partitions, and the communication module 14 located on one side of the control module 13.

[0025] A slot is provided inside the mounting cavity, located between two other sets of partitions. The battery 16 is secured in the slot to ensure its stability during equipment operation and prevent it from shaking arbitrarily. A measuring hole is provided on the outer casing 11, through which the pull rope of the pull-wire encoder 15 is threaded. The pull-wire encoder 15 can be an OMRON-E6CP-AG5C pull-wire encoder. The pull-wire encoder 15 can acquire river hydrological measurement data by extending and retracting the pull rope.

[0026] A bottom cover 17 is installed at the bottom of the outer casing 11, and the bottom cover 17 is fastened to the bottom of the outer casing 11, forming a floating chamber. A water-proof pipe is installed inside the floating chamber, passing through the measuring hole, serving to guide and protect the pull rope. A telescopic rod 19 is installed at the bottom of the bottom cover 17, and the telescopic rod 19 communicates with the water-proof pipe, providing a channel for the pull rope to extend from the inside of the equipment to the bottom. An anchoring assembly is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod 19 to securely fix the equipment to the bottom of the riverbed.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the anchoring assembly includes a connecting plate 21, the top of which is connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 19, providing a connection base for the entire anchoring assembly. A pull ring is provided at the top of the connecting plate 21, and the telescopic rod 19 is fitted onto the pull ring. The pull rope of the pull-wire encoder 15 passes through the water-tight pipe and the telescopic rod 19, and then connects to the pull ring, enabling the pull-wire encoder 15 to sense changes in the position of the anchoring assembly through the pull rope and the pull ring.

[0028] The anchoring assembly also includes an anchor block 22, which is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 21. Both are triangular in shape. This shape helps the anchor block 22 to embed better into the silt at the bottom of the river, enhancing the fixing effect. The anchor block 22 has a counterweight groove, which is filled with a counterweight. The connecting plate 21 is fastened to the counterweight groove. By increasing the weight of the counterweight, the anchor block 22 is more firmly fixed to the riverbed.

[0029] The anchor block 22 has multiple sets of mounting holes, located at the triangular part of the anchor block 22 and at the bottom. Anchor rods 23 are inserted into these mounting holes, with the bottom anchor rod 23 being shorter than the others. This allows the anchor block 22 to better adapt to the riverbed topography during fixing, with the bottom anchor rod 23 serving as the core and the other three sets of anchor rods 23 providing auxiliary support, thus enhancing the stability of the fixation.

[0030] Anchor rod 23 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole. Anchor rod 23 is conical in shape with helical blades on its circumference. The conical shape allows it to be easily inserted into the riverbed under the influence of gravity. As anchor rod 23 rotates, the helical blades drill along the texture of the mud and sand, further enhancing the fixing effect and allowing the equipment to be firmly rooted in the riverbed.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the bottom of the base cover 17 has three sets of fixing ears, and anchor ropes 24 are connected to the fixing ears. The other end of the anchor ropes 24 is connected to an auxiliary anchor plate. The auxiliary anchor plate has fixing holes, and another set of anchor rods 23 are inserted into the fixing holes. These auxiliary structures further increase the reliability of equipment fixation, and the equipment can be fixed over a larger range by using the anchor ropes 24 and the auxiliary anchor plate, with the additional anchor rods 23.

[0032] Airbags 18 are provided around the outer casing 11. The airbags 18 have a semi-circular cross-section and are filled with nitrogen gas. The airbags 18 can provide a certain buoyancy for the equipment, keeping it in a suitable position in the water. At the same time, they can also reduce the impact of water flow on the equipment to a certain extent. Nitrogen gas is chemically stable and does not easily react with the airbags, increasing the service life of the device.

[0033] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0034] When using this river hydrological monitoring equipment, the control module 13 activates the pull-wire encoder 15. The pull rope is connected to the pull ring of the anchoring assembly via a water-proof pipe and a telescopic rod 19, sensing changes in the position of the anchoring assembly to obtain relevant data. The communication module 14 transmits the data processed by the control module 13. The battery 16 powers each module. The anchoring block 22 of the anchoring assembly is weighted by a bottom counterweight, and the anchoring rod 23 is fixed to the riverbed by rotation and a spiral blade. The auxiliary anchoring plate is connected to the bottom cover 17 via an anchoring rope 24, and its anchoring rod 23 further secures the equipment. The airbag 18 provides buoyancy and buffers the impact of water flow. All components work together to achieve stable fixation of the equipment in the river and monitoring of hydrological data.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
