Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water level and flow monitoring and protection technology, and in particular to an anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective shell. Background Technology

[0002] An anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective shell is a device used to monitor water level and flow in real time. It has good protection performance and anti-interference ability and is often used in water conservancy and hydrological monitoring, urban drainage and other fields.

[0003] Existing anti-interference continuous water level and flow monitoring devices with protective housings can prevent dust, mud, plant debris, and other contaminants from entering the device through the sealed design of the housing. This avoids these impurities adhering to the sensor surface or accumulating at the circuit interface, ensuring the stability of the monitoring device during use.

[0004] However, in practical applications, existing anti-interference continuous water level and flow monitoring devices with protective housings use screw fastening to connect the protective housing and the monitoring device. This requires disassembling and assembling each bolt individually, resulting in a long time consumption and hindering the improvement of the monitoring device's maintenance efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides an anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective housing to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective shell.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective shell, comprising a monitoring device body, and further comprising:

[0008] A protective assembly is placed on the outside of the monitoring device body. The protective assembly includes a lower outer shell that is threaded to the bottom of the monitoring device body. An upper outer shell is provided on the outside of the lower outer shell. A snap-fit ​​groove is provided at the bottom of the upper outer shell. A snap-fit ​​ball is movably connected inside the snap-fit ​​groove. The upper outer shell is snapped with the lower outer shell through the snap-fit ​​ball.

[0009] A reinforcement component is placed outside the protective component and is used to reinforce the connection between the lower outer shell and the upper outer shell. The reinforcement component includes a horizontal fixing member provided on the outer side of the upper outer shell. The upper outer shell and the horizontal fixing member are provided with matching external threads. The horizontal fixing member is threadedly connected to the upper outer shell through the external threads.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameters on both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove are smaller than the diameter of the snap-fit ​​ball.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: ensuring the stability of the snap-fit ​​ball inside the snap-fit ​​groove, preventing the snap-fit ​​groove from falling out, and avoiding snap-fit ​​failure between the lower and upper outer shells.

[0012] Furthermore, a monitoring slot is provided at the bottom of the lower outer casing.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is to ensure that the lower outer shell does not block the transmission and reception of radar waves, and to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the monitoring device itself.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting plate is connected to the top of the upper outer shell, and mounting holes are provided on the connecting plate.

[0015] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: it facilitates the installation of the monitoring device body, the lower shell, and the upper shell on the outer support frame; and since the mounting holes are distributed in a ring array on the upper shell, the connecting plate can be adapted to different installation positions.

[0016] Furthermore, a wiring port is provided on the top of the upper housing.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the upper outer shell is snapped onto the main body of the monitoring device, it is convenient for the connecting wire to pass through the wiring port, which facilitates the installation of the connecting wire.

[0018] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is fitted inside the wiring port.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it increases the sealing between the upper housing and the monitoring device body, preventing external liquids from entering the interior of the upper housing.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] 1. By setting up protective components, the lower outer shell is rotated so that it is threadedly connected to the bottom of the monitoring device body. Then, the upper outer shell is placed on the top of the monitoring device body. At this time, the upper outer shell will push the locking ball towards the lower outer shell through the locking groove, so that the locking ball engages between the limiting groove and the locking groove of the lower outer shell, thereby locking the upper and lower outer shells together. This solves the problem that in the past, when disassembling and assembling the outer shell and the monitoring device, it was necessary to remove and install bolts one by one, which was time-consuming. This is conducive to improving the maintenance efficiency of the monitoring device.

[0022] 2. By setting up a reinforcing component and rotating the horizontal fixing part, the movement path of the snap-fit ​​ball is restricted from the outside, thereby ensuring that the snap-fit ​​ball can be firmly snapped between the lower shell and the upper shell, ensuring that the connection between the lower shell and the upper shell is reinforced and the connection is stable.

[0032] 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.

[0033] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-interference type continuous water level and flow monitoring device with a protective shell, including a monitoring device body 1, and further including:

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the protective component 2 is located on the outside of the monitoring device body 1. The protective component 2 includes a lower outer shell 21 that is threadedly connected to the bottom of the monitoring device body 1. An upper outer shell 22 is provided on the outside of the lower outer shell 21. A snap-fit ​​groove 24 is provided at the bottom of the upper outer shell 22. A snap-fit ​​ball 23 is movably connected inside the snap-fit ​​groove 24. The upper outer shell 22 is snapped with the lower outer shell 21 through the snap-fit ​​ball 23.

[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the reinforcement component 3 is placed outside the protective component 2 and is used to reinforce the connection between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22. The reinforcement component 3 includes a horizontal fixing member 31 located on the outside of the upper outer shell 22. The upper outer shell 22 and the horizontal fixing member 31 are provided with matching external threads 32. The horizontal fixing member 31 is threadedly connected to the upper outer shell 22 through the external threads 32. By opening an annular limiting groove on the lower outer shell 21 that matches the snap-fit ​​ball 23, the lower outer shell 21 is rotated so that the lower outer shell 21 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the monitoring device body 1. The upper outer shell 22 is then fitted onto the top of the monitoring device body 1. The upper outer shell 22 pushes the snap-fit ​​ball 23 towards the lower outer shell 21 through the snap-fit ​​groove 24, so that the snap-fit ​​ball 23 snaps into the limiting groove on the lower outer shell 21 and the snap-fit... The grooves 24 are used to snap the upper outer shell 22 and the lower outer shell 21 together, thereby enabling quick installation of the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22. This solves the problem of the time-consuming process of disassembling and assembling the outer shell and the monitoring device by removing and installing bolts one by one, which is beneficial to improving the maintenance efficiency of the monitoring device. Furthermore, by opening a threaded groove on the inner side of the horizontal fixing member 31 that matches the external thread 32, it is ensured that the horizontal fixing member 31 is threadedly connected to the upper outer shell 22 through the external thread 32. When the horizontal fixing member 31 is rotated, it moves downward along the external thread 32. The horizontal fixing member 31 restricts the movement path of the snap-fit ​​ball 23 from the outside, ensuring that the snap-fit ​​ball 23 is firmly snapped between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22, thereby strengthening the connection between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22 and ensuring the stability of the connection.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the diameters on both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove 24 are smaller than the diameter of the snap-fit ​​ball 23. By reducing the diameter of the groove openings on both sides of the snap-fit ​​groove 24, the snap-fit ​​ball 23 is confined inside the snap-fit ​​groove 24, ensuring the stability of the snap-fit ​​ball 23 inside the snap-fit ​​groove 24, preventing the snap-fit ​​groove 24 from falling out, and avoiding the snap-fit ​​failure between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, a monitoring slot 25 is provided at the bottom of the lower outer shell 21. By making the diameter of the monitoring slot 25 larger than the diameter of the radar wave output end on the monitoring device body 1, it is ensured that the lower outer shell 21 will not block the transmission and reception of radar waves, thus avoiding interference with the normal operation of the monitoring device body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting plate 26 is connected to the top of the upper outer shell 22. The connecting plate 26 has mounting holes 29. By welding the connecting plate 26 to the upper outer shell 22 and inserting bolts into the mounting holes 29, it is easy to install the monitoring device body 1, the lower outer shell 21, and the upper outer shell 22 on the outer support frame. Since the mounting holes 29 are distributed in a ring array on the upper outer shell 22, the connecting plate 26 can be adapted to different installation positions.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a wiring port 27 is provided on the top of the upper outer casing 22. By opening a wiring port 27 on the upper outer casing 22 with a diameter larger than that of the connecting wire on the monitoring device body 1, the connecting wire can easily pass through the wiring port 27 when the upper outer casing 22 is snapped onto the monitoring device body 1, which facilitates the installation of the connecting wire.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sealing gasket 28 is snapped into the inside of the wiring port 27. By snapping the sealing gasket 28 into the inside of the wiring port 27, the sealing gasket 28 fills the gap between the connecting wire on the monitoring device body 1 and the wiring port 27 with its own elasticity, thereby increasing the sealing between the upper outer shell 22 and the monitoring device body 1 and preventing external liquid from entering the inside of the upper outer shell 22.

[0041] Working principle: such as Figures 1-5As shown, the upper outer shell 22 is first placed on the outer bracket, and bolts are installed between the bracket and the mounting hole 29. Nuts are then used to secure it. Next, the lower outer shell 21 is threaded onto the bottom of the monitoring device body 1. Pushing the lower outer shell 21 moves the monitoring device body 1 into the upper outer shell 22, allowing the connecting wire on the monitoring device body 1 to pass through the sealing gasket 28. The sealing gasket 28 fills the gap between the connecting wire and the wiring port 27 on the monitoring device body 1 through its own elasticity, thereby increasing the seal between the upper outer shell 22 and the monitoring device body 1. Then, the snap-fit ​​ball 23 inside the snap-fit ​​groove 24 snaps into the snap-fit ​​limiting groove on the lower outer shell 21, thus securing the upper outer shell 22 and the monitoring device body 1. The lower outer shell 21 is snapped together, thereby enabling quick installation of the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22. Then, the horizontal fixing member 31 is rotated, and the horizontal fixing member 31 moves along the external thread 32 toward the snap-fit ​​ball 23, so that the horizontal fixing member 31 restricts the movement path of the snap-fit ​​ball 23 from the outside, ensuring that the snap-fit ​​ball 23 is firmly snapped between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22, thereby strengthening the connection between the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22. After the monitoring device body 1 is installed inside the lower outer shell 21 and the upper outer shell 22, the radar wave output end on the monitoring device body 1 is located in the middle of the monitoring slot 25, avoiding interference with the normal operation of the monitoring device body 1.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
