[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] The following is combined Figures 1-6 This invention describes an IoT-based automated water level monitoring device for water conservancy.

[0027] In one embodiment, an IoT-based automated water level monitoring device includes: a mounting base 1 and a top monitoring frame 2, the top monitoring frame 2 being disposed on the upper end of the mounting base 1; a monitoring mechanism 3, the monitoring mechanism 3 being mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 1, the top monitoring frame 2 being fixedly connected to the upper end of the monitoring mechanism 3; wherein, the monitoring mechanism 3 includes a monitoring component 32 mounted on the lower end of the top monitoring frame 2, the lower end of the monitoring component 32 being fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1, and a floating component 31 being sleeved on the outside of the monitoring component 32;

[0028] It should be noted that water conservancy projects are engineering projects built to control and regulate surface water and groundwater in nature to achieve the purpose of eliminating harm and promoting benefits. They are also called water projects. Water level monitoring is an indispensable part of water conservancy project monitoring work. Water level monitoring work mainly monitors the water depth of water bodies intercepted by water conservancy projects such as dams.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the floating component 31 includes a sliding tube 311 sleeved outside the monitoring component 32. An internal light-transmitting tube 315 is embedded in the inner wall of the sliding tube 311. An arc-shaped plate 312 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding tube 311 near its end. The arc-shaped plate 312 and the sliding tube 311 are combined to form a spherical float. Multiple light strips 313 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 312. The multiple light strips 313 are distributed in a ring along the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 312. A magnetic seat 314 is provided outside the sliding tube 311. The magnetic seat 314 is installed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 312. A refractive light-transmitting ring 316 is embedded in the surface of the sliding tube 311 near the internal light-transmitting tube 315. The longitudinal cross-section of the refractive light-transmitting ring 316 is geometric. Multiple magnetic blocks 317 are embedded inside the magnetic seat 314. The surface of the magnetic blocks 317 extends to the outside of the magnetic seat 314 and contacts the surface of the sliding tube 311.

[0030] In this embodiment, the device uses a spherical float whose surface does not come into excessive contact with floating impurities and does not accumulate floating impurities. As a result, during water level detection, impurities will not be stuck on the spherical float, allowing the float to move stably up and down with the water level, thus ensuring detection accuracy.

[0031] When the device is in use, the surface of the sliding tube 311 away from the magnetic base 314 is provided with a circuit compartment. When it is necessary to detect the water level, the light strip 313 can be powered, which will make the light strip 313 emit brighter light. Then, through the setting of the refraction light-transmitting ring 316, the pipeline can be converged. And through the internal light-transmitting tube 315, the light can be projected more evenly onto the monitoring component 32.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the monitoring component 32 includes a circular tube 321 fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1. The upper end of the circular tube 321 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top monitoring frame 2. Multiple side grooves 326 are opened on the surface of the circular tube 321. The multiple side grooves 326 are distributed in a ring along the surface of the circular tube 321. A light-transmitting strip 324 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side groove 326. A camera 327 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the circular tube 321. The light-transmitting strip 324 and the circular tube 321 are combined to form a sealed tube. A transparent oil is provided inside the sealed tube. A light-concentrating strip 325 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the light-transmitting strip 324. An adjusting magnetic seat 322 is slidably connected inside the sealed tube. A reflector seat 323 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the adjusting magnetic seat 322.

[0033] In this embodiment, when water level detection is required, light can be projected onto the light-transmitting strip 324 through the internal light-transmitting tube 315. The surface of the light-transmitting strip 324 near the light-concentrating strip 325 is coated with a color gradient strip. The light passes through the light-transmitting strip 324 and is converged by the light-concentrating strip 325, projecting the colored light onto the surface of the reflector 323. By analyzing the color of the light projected onto the surface of the reflector 323 through the camera 327, the specific height of the current water level can be determined. The camera 327 captures images of the product appearance and can be connected to an external chromatograph to analyze the component data. The two share the results through a central server such as a CDS system, while still operating independently at the hardware level.

[0034] Working principle: When the device is in use, the surface of the sliding tube 311 away from the magnetic base 314 is equipped with a circuit compartment. When water level detection is required, power is supplied to the light strip 313, which will emit a relatively bright light. Through the setting of the refraction light-transmitting ring 316, the pipeline is converged and then projected onto the light-transmitting strip 324 through the internal light-transmitting tube 315. The surface of the light-transmitting strip 324 near the focusing strip 325 is coated with a color gradient strip. The light passes through the light-transmitting strip 324 and is converged by the focusing strip 325, and the colored light is projected onto the surface of the reflector 323. By analyzing the color of the light projected onto the surface of the reflector 323 through the camera 327, the specific height of the current water level can be determined.

[0035] It should be noted that the LED strip 313 and camera 327 mentioned above are devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the LED strip 313 and camera 327 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by AC power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
