Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water conservancy and environmental monitoring technology, specifically relating to a water conservancy and environmental sediment content monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous fields such as the planning, construction, operation, and river management of water conservancy projects, accurate understanding of sediment content in the aquatic environment is crucial fundamental data. Changes in sediment content directly affect the sediment transport capacity of rivers, riverbed evolution, reservoir siltation, and the normal operation of water conservancy projects. In river management, excessively high sediment content may exacerbate river siltation, affecting the river's flood control capacity and increasing the risk of floods. In reservoir operation, excessively high sediment content will accelerate reservoir siltation, shorten the reservoir's lifespan, and reduce its regulation capacity. Therefore, real-time and accurate monitoring of sediment content in the aquatic environment is of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of water conservancy projects, rationally planning water resources, and effectively preventing water-related disasters.

[0003] However, the photoelectric sediment content measuring instruments commonly used in the market mainly monitor the sediment content by inserting sensors into the water body. During the monitoring process, a lot of sediment and other impurities adhere to the sensor surface. Usually, after the monitoring is completed, it is necessary to manually wash the sediment and impurities adhering to the sensor surface. Since the monitoring position needs to be changed frequently during the monitoring process, in order to avoid the sediment and other substances remaining on the sensor surface affecting the monitoring data of the next position, the sensor needs to be washed frequently, which is cumbersome and increases the workload, causing more trouble for the detection of sediment content in water conservancy and environment. To address these problems, the applicant proposes a water conservancy and environment sediment content detection device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water environment sediment content detection device that can store the water required for rinsing during the monitoring process. After the monitoring is completed, the stored water can be released simply by operating the mechanism. This device can automatically rinse away the mud, sand and impurities adhering to the surface of the sensor probe without the need for manual rinsing, thus effectively saving maintenance workload and bringing more convenience to the water environment sediment content detection work.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for detecting sediment content in a water conservancy environment, comprising:

[0007] The testing mechanism and the cleaning mechanism assembled around the testing mechanism, as well as the operating mechanism assembled on one side of the testing mechanism;

[0008] The detection mechanism includes an operating lever, with a sand-containing measuring instrument fixedly installed on the top of the operating lever and a sensor probe compatible with the sand-containing measuring instrument fixedly installed on the bottom of the operating lever.

[0009] The cleaning mechanism includes a water storage tank fixedly installed around the operating lever. The bottom of the water storage tank is connected to a water outlet corresponding to the sensor probe. A sealing disc is slidably installed inside the water storage tank. A sealing ring that fits against the sealing disc is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water storage tank. A water inlet is opened on the periphery of the water storage tank.

[0010] The operating mechanism includes a sliding sleeve slidably mounted on the periphery of the operating lever and a handle hinged to the bottom of the operating lever.

[0011] Preferably, a filter screen is fixedly installed around the water storage cylinder, and the filter screen is wrapped around the surface of the water inlet.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing disc has a water passage hole, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed between the sealing disc and the sliding sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly installed on the periphery of the fixing rod, and a cleaning ring that wraps around the periphery of the water storage tank is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame.

[0014] Preferably, a cleaning brush is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning ring, and the cleaning brush corresponds to the filter screen.

[0015] Preferably, a thrust spring is fixedly installed between the sliding sleeve and the operating rod, and a movable rod is hinged between the sliding sleeve and the handle.

[0016] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed at the top of the operating lever, and the surface of the handle is distributed with anti-slip texture.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) This utility model is equipped with an operating mechanism and a cleaning mechanism that work together to detect the sand content of water. During the process of detecting the sand content of water, the water storage tank can be extended into the water body so that the water can enter the water storage tank for storage. At the same time, it can filter the impurities in the water body so that the water entering the water storage tank is in a relatively clean state. After the test is completed, the operating mechanism drives the sealing plate inside the water storage tank to move upward so that the stored water can flow into the water outlet. The multiple water outlets spray water onto the sensor probe, which can automatically wash away the mud and sand and impurities adhering to the surface of the sensor probe without the need for manual washing. This can effectively save the maintenance workload of the sensor probe and bring more convenience to the detection of sand content in water conservancy environment.

[0019] (2) This utility model is equipped with a cleaning ring and a cleaning brush. When the sealing disc is moved upward by the operating mechanism, the cleaning ring can be moved upward at the same time. The cleaning brush can be used to clean the mud and impurities adhering to the surface of the filter screen, so that the filter screen can maintain a good filtration state and avoid clogging. The water entering the water storage tank can be kept relatively clean. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a water conservancy environment sediment content detection device includes:

[0031] The testing mechanism 1 and the cleaning mechanism 3 assembled around the testing mechanism 1, and the operating mechanism 2 assembled on one side of the testing mechanism 1;

[0032] The detection mechanism 1 includes an operating lever 11, with a sand content measuring instrument 13 fixedly installed on the top of the operating lever 11 and a sensor probe 14 matched with the sand content measuring instrument 13 fixedly installed on the bottom of the operating lever 11.

[0033] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a water storage tank 31 fixedly installed on the periphery of the operating rod 11. The bottom of the water storage tank 31 is connected to a water outlet 33 corresponding to the sensor probe 14. A sealing disc 32 is slidably installed inside the water storage tank 31. A sealing ring 34 that fits the sealing disc 32 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water storage tank 31. A water inlet 39 is opened on the periphery of the water storage tank 31.

[0034] The operating mechanism 2 includes a sliding sleeve 23 that is slidably mounted on the periphery of the operating lever 11 and a handle 21 that is hinged to the bottom of the operating lever 11.

[0035] As can be seen from the above, when in use, the device is moved to a suitable position by holding the operating rod 11, and the operating rod 11 is inserted into the river channel where the sediment content needs to be detected. The sensor probe 14 can sense the sediment content in the water. The sediment content measuring instrument 13 can easily analyze the sensed data, making it convenient for staff to view the sediment content data. During the process of detecting the sediment content in the water, the water storage tank 31 can be extended underwater simultaneously, so that the water can flow into the water storage tank 31 through the inlet 39 for storage.

[0036] After the test is completed, the sensor probe 14 is removed from the water surface. By squeezing the handle 21, the sliding sleeve 23 can be moved upward along the operating rod 11, which can pull the sealing plate 32 upward, so that the sealing plate 32 can be separated from the sealing ring 34. This allows the water in the water storage tank 31 to flow downward into the water outlet 33. Through the multiple ring array of water outlets 33, water can be sprayed onto the sensor probe 14, which can automatically wash away the mud, sand and impurities adhering to the surface of the sensor probe 14 without manual washing. This effectively saves the maintenance workload of the sensor probe 14 and brings more convenience to the detection of sediment content in water conservancy environment.

[0037] Depend on Figure 5 It can be seen that a filter screen 38 is fixedly installed on the outside of the water storage cylinder 31, and the filter screen 38 is wrapped around the surface of the water inlet 39.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, when water enters the water storage tank 31 through the water inlet 39, the filter screen 38 can intercept and filter the impurities in the water, so that the water entering the water storage tank 31 is in a relatively clean state, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect on the sensor probe 14.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, a water passage hole 35 is provided on the sealing disc 32, and a fixing rod 36 is fixedly installed between the sealing disc 32 and the sliding sleeve 23.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, when the sliding sleeve 23 moves upward, it can drive the fixed rod 36 to extend upward, which can pull the sealing plate 32 to move upward synchronously. When the sealing plate 32 and the sealing ring 34 are separated, the sealing effect on the water passage hole 35 can be released, and the water in the water storage cylinder 31 can flow downward through the water passage hole 35 to the water outlet 33 for discharge.

[0041] For details, please refer to Figure 5 As shown, a fixing frame 310 is fixedly installed on the periphery of the fixing rod 36, and a cleaning ring 37 that wraps around the periphery of the water storage cylinder 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing frame 310.

[0042] As can be seen from the above, during the upward extension and movement of the fixed rod 36, the fixed frame 310 can be driven to move upward, which in turn can drive the cleaning ring 37 to move upward synchronously along the outer periphery of the water storage cylinder 31.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] refer to Figure 5 As shown, a cleaning brush 311 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning ring 37, and the cleaning brush 311 corresponds to the filter screen 38.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, when the cleaning ring 37 moves upward, the cleaning brush 311 can come into contact with the filter screen 38. By using the movement of the cleaning brush 311, the mud and impurities adhering to the surface of the filter screen 38 can be easily cleaned, so that the filter screen 38 can maintain a good filtration state and avoid clogging. This allows the water entering the water storage tank 31 to remain relatively clean.

[0046] refer to Figure 4 As shown, a thrust spring 24 is fixedly installed between the sliding sleeve 23 and the operating lever 11, and a movable rod 22 is hinged between the sliding sleeve 23 and the handle 21.

[0047] As can be seen from the above, when the handle 21 is squeezed, it can be rotated upward. The movable rod 22 can be used to pull the sliding sleeve 23 upward. When the handle 21 is released, the thrust spring 24 can apply a pushing force to the sliding sleeve 23, which can push the sliding sleeve 23 to automatically return downward. This allows the sealing disc 32 to move downward synchronously and return to its original position to fit with the sealing ring 34 for sealing operation. This facilitates the next test, allowing the water to re-enter the water storage tank 31 for storage.

[0048] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a handle 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the operating lever 11, and the surface of the handle 12 is distributed with anti-slip texture.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, the handle 12 makes it easy to hold the operating rod 11, making it convenient to carry this device to detect the sediment content of water at different locations in the river.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
