Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality testing, and in particular to a cleaning structure and a hydropower station monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] A hydropower station is a comprehensive engineering facility that converts water energy into electrical energy. It is an integrated system of water, machinery, and electricity. It is usually located in places where the river has a large drop, such as near canyons or waterfalls. Water is introduced into the power plant through a water diversion system to drive the turbines to rotate, which in turn drives the generators to produce electricity. Hydropower stations not only provide clean and renewable energy to the power grid, but also play an important role in regulating the grid load, improving the power structure, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydropower station monitoring equipment uses sensors, cameras, automated control systems, and other technologies to collect data such as water level, flow rate, and equipment status in real time.

[0003] Existing hydropower station monitoring equipment typically uses water quality sensors to detect water quality. However, these sensors cannot remove floating debris from the water surface, which can affect the sensor probes and cause abnormal data from optical sensors such as turbidity and dissolved oxygen. In addition, current technology usually uses solar panels for energy storage, but these panels cannot adapt to changes in the solar altitude angle in different seasons, affecting the efficiency of solar power generation. Utility Model Content

The first bevel gear is located inside the second mounting cylinder and meshes with the second bevel gear, and the blade is located outside the second mounting cylinder.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the first power component is set up so that the second bevel gear drives the first bevel gear to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the blade. When the blade rotates, it can clean the floating objects and impurities in the water near the bearing unit, thereby improving the detection water environment and significantly improving the data accuracy of the subsequent water quality sensor body.

[0010] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that: existing technologies usually use solar panels for energy storage, but solar panels cannot adapt to changes in the solar altitude angle in different seasons, which affects the efficiency of solar power generation.

The support unit 2 includes a housing assembly 22, a telescopic rod 21 installed above the housing assembly 22, a cleaning component 23 disposed on the housing assembly 22, and a first power component 25 disposed inside the housing assembly 22.

[0028] The housing 11 provides space for the carrier unit 2, and the opening of the housing 11 can be closed by the door 13, which can protect it. The fixing ring 14 provides support for the carrier unit 2, and the internal space of the fixing ring 14 can provide space for the water quality sensor 4 to be placed, preventing it from being unable to be placed stably due to protrusion, and can also protect the water quality sensor 4.

[0029] The telescopic rod 21 has a telescopic function, which can be adjusted by the staff to detect water quality at different depths. Furthermore, the housing assembly 22 can effectively seal and protect the first power assembly 25, ensuring that it will not malfunction when operating underwater and ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0030] The first power unit 25 provides the power required for the movement of the cleaning unit 23. The rotating connection between the cleaning unit 23 and the housing assembly 22 is connected by a sealed bearing to ensure that no water enters the housing assembly 22 when the cleaning unit 23 is operating normally.

[0031] Furthermore, the cleaning component 23 can be installed at an angle, with one end of the blade 233 pointing downwards. When it enters the water, it can blow floating objects in an oblique direction, preventing debris from getting tangled on the blade 233 when the cleaning component 23 enters the water, thus affecting the operation of the device.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figures 2-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, based on the first embodiment: it also includes a housing assembly 22 including a mounting sleeve 221, a first mounting cylinder 222 fixed below the telescopic rod 21, and a second mounting cylinder 223 fixed below the first mounting cylinder 222. The mounting sleeve 221 is detachably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21.

[0034] The mounting sleeve 221 is designed to be detachably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21, facilitating subsequent maintenance and carrying. The first mounting sleeve 222 and the second mounting sleeve 223 provide an installation environment for the first power assembly 25 and seal the installation environment of the first power assembly 25 to ensure its normal operation and prevent water from seeping in and affecting the first power assembly 25.

[0035] The connection between the mounting cylinder 222 and the second mounting cylinder 223 is hollowed out, so that the heat generated by the first motor 251 inside the first mounting cylinder 222 can diffuse into the second mounting cylinder 223 and be cooled by contact with water, thereby accelerating the cooling efficiency and preventing the first motor 251 from overheating and being damaged.

[0036] Specifically, the first power assembly 25 includes a first motor 251 installed inside the first mounting cylinder 222, a drive shaft 252 fixed to the output end of the first motor 251, and a second bevel gear 253 sleeved on the outer ring of the drive shaft 252. One end of the drive shaft 252 passes through the first mounting cylinder 222 and rotates at the bottom of the second mounting cylinder 223. The second bevel gear 253 is located inside the second mounting cylinder 223.

[0037] The first motor 251 provides power for the rotation of the cleaning component 23. Its drive shaft 252 passes through the bottom of the first mounting cylinder 222 and the top of the second mounting cylinder 223. The second bevel gear 253 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 252 and can be driven to rotate by the first motor 251.

[0038] Specifically, the cleaning component 23 includes a connecting rod 231 that rotates on the side wall of the second mounting cylinder 223, and a first bevel gear 232 and a blade 233 respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting rod 231. The first bevel gear 232 is located inside the second mounting cylinder 223 and meshes with the second bevel gear 233, while the blade 233 is located outside the second mounting cylinder 223.

[0039] A sealed bearing is provided at the rotatable connection between the connecting rod 231 and the first mounting cylinder 222 to ensure that no water seeps into the first mounting cylinder 222 and prevents it from being damaged. The first bevel gear 232 meshes with the second bevel gear 253, which can drive the first bevel gear 232 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 231 to rotate.

[0040] The blade 233 is configured to blow air outward from the second mounting cylinder 223 to ensure that debris is blown out of the detection range and to ensure the accuracy of the detection data.

[0041] In use, first remove the bearing unit 2 from the housing 11. Then, adjust the telescopic rod 21 according to the depth of the water to be tested, and adjust the telescopic rod 21 to a suitable length. Then, turn on the first motor 251. The first motor 251 drives the second bevel gear 253 to rotate through the transmission shaft 252, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 232 to rotate and drives the paddle 233 to rotate, thus cleaning the floating objects on the water surface. After the test is completed, turn off the first motor 251 and return the telescopic rod 21 to its original position.

The second motor 352 can provide the corresponding power for the rotation of the photovoltaic panel 36. When the second motor 352 is turned on, it will drive the third bevel gear 353 to rotate, and the rotation of the third bevel gear 353 will drive the fourth bevel gear 355 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 354 to rotate. The rotating rod 354 will drive the bracket 356 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation of the photovoltaic panel 36.

[0050] The mounting box 351 is located under the photovoltaic panel 36 and can be equipped with heat dissipation holes to ensure that the heat generated by the second motor 352 can be dissipated as soon as possible, thus ensuring a safe working environment.

[0051] Specifically, the monitoring component 38 includes a first card plate 381 and a mounting rod 383 fixed above the first card plate 381. A camera 384 is mounted on the top of the mounting rod 383. The first card plate 381 is adapted to the support rod 33.
