Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of water quality monitoring technology, and in particular to a real-time water quality monitoring device for a waterworks. Background Technology
[0002] The source of tap water produced by waterworks mainly depends on local natural conditions and water resource distribution. Common water sources can be divided into two categories: surface water and groundwater. Surface water refers to water bodies that exist on the earth's surface. Rivers are a type of surface water, with abundant and easily accessible water flow. Before taking water from rivers to produce tap water, it is necessary to monitor the water quality of the rivers. Water quality monitoring instruments are often used, with the probes of the water quality monitoring instruments inserted into the rivers to monitor the water quality in real time.
[0003] The relevant utility model patent, with publication number CN207096239U, is entitled "A protective device for a multi-parameter water quality monitoring instrument in the field," which includes a base, a protective frame, and a top cover, with the protective frame connected to the base.
[0004] In order to protect the water quality monitor, the aforementioned patent sets up a ring-shaped protective frame on the outside of the water quality monitor to prevent the monitor body from being hit by swimming objects in the water. It can protect the monitor body well. However, since the monitor body of the device cannot move inside the protective frame, when the entire device is inserted into the water, if the water level changes and the water level drops too much, the monitor body will not be able to contact the water, resulting in the inability to monitor the water quality.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a real-time water quality monitoring device for waterworks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a real-time water quality monitoring device for waterworks.
[0007] The real-time water quality monitoring device for waterworks provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A real-time water quality monitoring device for a waterworks includes a monitoring instrument body and a probe connected to the lower end of the monitoring instrument body. The outer surface of the monitoring instrument body is provided with several protective rods arranged in a ring. The protective rods are arc-shaped. The top and bottom ends of the protective rods are respectively fixed with a fixing block and a base. The outer shell of the monitoring instrument body is fixed with a sliding plate. The sliding plate is vertically slidably connected to a collar. The outer wall of the collar is fixed with a fixing plate. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the protective rods. A float with a conical structure is fixed at the upper end of the monitoring instrument body.
[0009] Preferably, a fixed seat is fixed to the upper end of the base, a damping rod is rotatably connected to the fixed seat, an insert rod is fixed to the damping rod, and the insert rod is inserted between adjacent protective rods.
[0010] Preferably, the insertion rod has an L-shaped structure, and the number of insertion rods is at least three.
[0011] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixed to the top of the fixing block, and a solar panel is embedded and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting plate. The solar panel is connected to a wire, and one end of the wire is connected to the main body of the monitoring instrument.
[0012] Preferably, one side of the conductor has an arc-shaped structure protruding to the right, and the conductor is elastic and can be bent and deformed.
[0013] Preferably, the base is fixed with an internally hollow sleeve, and a sliding rod is vertically slidably mounted on the sleeve. The upper end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the monitoring instrument body.
[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] 1. When the river surface changes, the float rises or falls with the change in the river surface, causing the monitoring instrument body and probe to move up or down. During the process of river surface changes, the probe of the monitoring instrument body is always inserted into the river, which is beneficial for water quality monitoring.
[0016] 2. A cage consisting of multiple arc-shaped protective rods is installed between the base and the fixing block to prevent the monitoring device from being hit by objects flowing inside the river. The arc-shaped protective rods protrude outward to intercept more flowing objects, which is beneficial to the protection of the monitoring device.
[0017] 3. By rotating the insertion rod to disengage it from the adjacent guard rod until the insertion rod is vertically downward, as shown in the figure, the insertion rod can be inserted into the mud at the bottom of the river to support the monitoring instrument body. The support height for the monitoring instrument body can be adjusted according to the river depth. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application discloses a real-time water quality monitoring device for a waterworks, including a monitoring instrument body 10 and a probe 12 connected to the lower end of the monitoring instrument body 10. The outer surface of the monitoring instrument body 10 is provided with several ring-shaped protective rods 4. The protective rods 4 have an arc-shaped structure. A fixing block 8 and a base 1 are respectively fixed to the top and bottom ends of the protective rods 4. A sliding plate 3 is fixed to the outer shell of the monitoring instrument body 10. A collar 2 is vertically slidably connected to the sliding plate 3. A fixing plate 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the collar 2. The fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the protective rods 4. A conical float 5 is fixed to the upper end of the monitoring instrument body 10. The base 1 is used to insert into the mud at the bottom of the river to support the entire device, so that the probe 12 at the bottom of the monitoring instrument body 10 is in contact with the water inside the river, and the lower surface of the float 5 is on the surface of the river liquid. The device operates via a monitoring instrument body 10 (existing technology, specific working principle and structure not shown) to monitor river water quality in real time for use in water treatment plants to produce tap water. The instrument body 10 is slidably set between a sliding plate 3 and a collar 2 on its outer wall. When the river level changes, the float 5 rises or falls accordingly, causing the monitoring instrument body 10 and probe 12 to move up or down. During changes in the river level, the probe 12 of the monitoring instrument body 10 remains inserted into the river, facilitating water quality monitoring. Furthermore, a cage formed by multiple arc-shaped protective rods 4 is installed between the base 1 and the fixing block 8 to prevent the monitoring instrument body 10 from being struck by flowing objects within the river. The arc-shaped protective rods 4 protrude outwards, intercepting more flowing objects and further protecting the monitoring instrument body 10.
[0024] A fixed base 16 is fixed to the upper end of the base 1. A damping rod 17 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 16 to increase rotational resistance. An insert rod 15 is fixed to the damping rod 17 and is inserted between adjacent guard rods 4. By rotating the insert rod 15, it is disengaged from between adjacent guard rods 4 until the insert rod 15 is vertically downward. Figure 3As shown, the insertion rod 15 can be inserted into the mud at the bottom of the river to support the monitoring instrument body 10. The support height for the monitoring instrument body 10 can be adjusted according to the river depth. Additionally, the insertion rod 15 can be rotated between adjacent protective rods 4. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this reduces the overall length and space occupied by the device, making it easier to carry and move.
[0025] To facilitate support of the entire device, the insertion rod 15 has an L-shaped structure, and the number of insertion rods 15 is at least three.
[0026] A mounting plate 7 is fixed to the top of the fixed block 8. A solar panel 6 is embedded and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting plate 7. The solar panel 6 is connected to a wire 9. One end of the wire 9 is connected to the main body of the monitoring instrument 10. One side of the wire 9 has an arc-shaped structure that protrudes to the right. The wire 9 is elastic and can be bent and deformed. The solar energy is converted into electrical energy by the solar panel 6 and transmitted to the main body of the monitoring instrument 10 through the wire 9, so that the main body of the monitoring instrument 10 can work and monitor the water quality in real time. In addition, the wire 9 has an arc-shaped structure and is elastic. So when the float 5 floats up and down with the river liquid surface and the main body of the monitoring instrument 10 moves up and down, the wire 9 can bend and deform to adapt to the movement of the main body of the monitoring instrument 10.
[0027] The base 1 is fixed with a hollow sleeve 14. A sliding rod 13 is vertically slidably installed on the sleeve 14. The upper end of the sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the monitoring instrument body 10. As the float 5 moves up and down with the change of the river liquid level and the monitoring instrument body 10 moves up and down, the sliding rod 13 slides up and down inside the sleeve 14.
[0028] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0029] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0030] Working principle: The user inserts the base 1 into the mud at the bottom of the river, so that the probe 12 at the bottom of the monitoring instrument body 10 comes into contact with the water inside the river. The lower surface of the float 5 is on the surface of the river liquid. The monitoring instrument body 10 works to monitor the river water quality in real time. It is used for the production of tap water in waterworks. The slide plate 3 and the collar 2 on the outer wall of the monitoring instrument body 10 are slidably set. When the river liquid level changes, the float 5 rises or falls with the change of the river liquid level, so that the monitoring instrument body 10 and the probe 12 move up or down. During the process of the river liquid level change, the probe 12 of the monitoring instrument body 10 is always inserted into the river, which is beneficial to the monitoring of water quality.
