Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to an integrated water tank flow monitoring device, and more particularly to an integrated water tank flow monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] An integrated water tank is a water supply or storage device that integrates the tank body and related functional components into one unit through modular design. It breaks through the limitations of traditional water tanks that are only single water storage containers. By optimizing the structural layout and functional integration, it achieves the coordinated operation of multiple functions such as water storage, water quality assurance, flow monitoring, and intelligent control. It is widely used in civil buildings, industrial production, agricultural irrigation, and municipal water supply.

[0003] In traditional water tank flow monitoring scenarios, radar flow meters are mostly installed in a fixed manner. Once installed, it is difficult to flexibly adjust the monitoring position. If the water flow distribution in the water tank is uneven, with eddies, dead zones, or if flow sampling is required for different areas, the monitoring data at the fixed position is prone to deviation. At the same time, the radar flow meter is exposed to the outside of the water tank and is easily affected by dust, water vapor, and impurities, which affects the detection effect of the radar flow meter. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an integrated water tank flow monitoring device to solve the problems that radar flow meters are mostly fixed installations, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the monitoring position once installed, and that radar flow meters exposed to the outside of the water tank are easily affected by dust, water vapor, and impurities, thus affecting the detection effect of the radar flow meters.

[0005] This application provides an integrated water tank flow monitoring device, including:

[0006] A water tank has two symmetrically arranged grooves on its top. A sliding plate is slidably installed between the two grooves. A rotating rod is rotatably installed inside the water tank and at the bottom of the sliding plate. A rotating plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod. A protective shell is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating plate away from the rotating rod. A radar flow meter is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the protective shell. A transparent plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective shell and below the radar flow meter.

[0007] A drive assembly, located inside the water tank, is used to drive the slide plate to move horizontally;

[0008] A power assembly, located on the slide plate, is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to adjust the horizontal monitoring position of the radar flow meter in the water tank, the drive component drives the slide plate to slide horizontally along the slide groove, thereby driving the bottom rotating rod, rotating plate and protective shell to move horizontally synchronously until the radar flow meter reaches directly above the target detection area. During this process, the rectangular groove provides a closed space for the bevel gear transmission to avoid impurities interfering with the transmission accuracy. The power component drives the rotating rod to rotate at the bottom of the slide plate, and the rotating plate at the bottom drives the protective shell to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the radar flow meter and ensuring that its detection direction is vertically aligned with the liquid surface. The protective shell is made of transparent acrylic material, which not only provides dustproof and waterproof protection for the radar flow meter, but also ensures that the radar wave penetrates without attenuation.

[0010] Preferably, the driving component includes:

[0011] A rotating wheel one and a transmission wheel two are rotatably mounted on the top of the skateboard. A belt is installed between the rotating wheel one and the transmission wheel two for transmission. The bottom end of the transmission wheel two passes through the top of the skateboard and is coaxially connected to the rotating rod. A C-shaped support plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the skateboard and directly above the rotating wheel one. A first motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the C-shaped support plate. The output shaft of the first motor passes through the top of the C-shaped support plate and is coaxially connected to the rotating wheel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating wheel one to rotate. The rotating wheel one drives the transmission wheel two to rotate synchronously through the belt. Since the transmission wheel two is coaxially connected with the rotating rod, the rotating rod rotates at the bottom of the slide plate and drives the protective shell to rotate through the rotating plate at the bottom, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the radar flow meter.

[0013] Preferably, the output shaft of the first motor is rotatably connected to the C-shaped support plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the first motor can operate normally on the C-shaped support plate.

[0015] Preferably, the power assembly includes:

[0016] A threaded rod is rotatably installed in one of the slide grooves. A rectangular groove is formed in the water tank on one side of one of the slide grooves. One end of the threaded rod extends through one end of the slide plate and one side of the slide groove into the rectangular groove and is fixedly installed with a bevel gear one. A bevel gear two is meshed in the rectangular groove on one side of the bevel gear one. A second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank. The output shaft of the second motor extends through one side of the water tank into the rectangular groove and is coaxially connected with the bevel gear two.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor is started, and its output shaft drives the second bevel gear in the rectangular groove to rotate. Since the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, the first bevel gear rotates with it and drives the threaded rod to rotate in the slide groove. Because the slide plate is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and the two ends of the slide plate are limited by the slide groove, the rotational motion of the threaded rod is converted into the horizontal sliding of the slide plate along the slide groove, thereby driving the rotating rod, rotating plate and protective shell at the bottom to move horizontally synchronously.

[0018] Preferably, the output shaft of the second motor is rotatably connected to the water tank, the slide plate is threadedly connected to the threaded rod, and both the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are rotatably connected to the rectangular groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the second motor can operate normally on the water tank. Under the action of the thread, the rotating threaded rod drives the slide plate to slide, ensuring that bevel gear one and bevel gear two rotate in the rectangular groove.

[0020] Preferably, the transparent plate is made of transparent acrylic and has a thickness of 0.2mm-0.5mm.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective shell is made of transparent acrylic material, which not only provides dustproof and waterproof protection for the radar flow meter, but also ensures that the radar waves can penetrate without attenuation.

[0022] Preferably, a storage battery is fixedly installed inside the protective casing, and the storage battery is electrically connected to the radar flow meter.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and using the installed battery, it is ensured that the radar flow meter can be continuously powered. Beneficial effects

[0024] To address the issues that radar flow meters are mostly installed in a fixed manner, making it difficult to flexibly adjust the monitoring position once installed, and that radar flow meters exposed to the outside of the water tank are susceptible to interference from dust, water vapor, and impurities, thus affecting the detection effect of the radar flow meters.

[0025] 1. The sliding plate is driven by the second motor to automatically adjust the horizontal position of the radar flow meter. The monitoring point can be quickly moved to the target area without manual intervention. The first motor is linked with the rotating rod through belt drive to achieve precise control of the detection angle, ensuring that the radar wave is always vertically aligned with the liquid surface, effectively avoiding measurement errors caused by angle deviation, and greatly improving the monitoring adaptability and data accuracy under different water flow scenarios.

[0026] 2. The protective shell and the transparent acrylic plate form a closed protective space, which not only blocks external pollutants from contacting the radar flow meter, but also ensures that the radar wave penetrates without attenuation. At the same time, the rectangular groove provides closed protection for bevel gear one and bevel gear two, avoiding the transmission components from being corroded by impurities, reducing detection errors and equipment failures caused by environmental interference, and significantly improving long-term operational stability.

[0041] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The integrated water tank flow monitoring device shown includes:

[0042] Water tank 1 has two symmetrically arranged grooves 2 on its top. A sliding plate 3 is slidably installed between the two grooves 2. A rotating rod 4 is rotatably installed inside the water tank 1 and at the bottom of the sliding plate 3. A rotating plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 4. A protective shell 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating plate 5 away from the rotating rod 4. A radar flow meter 7 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner cavity of the protective shell 6. A transparent plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective shell 6 and below the radar flow meter 7.

[0043] A drive assembly is located inside the water tank 1 and is used to drive the slide plate 3 to move horizontally.

[0044] The power unit is located on the slide plate 3 and is used to drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate.

[0045] When it is necessary to adjust the horizontal monitoring position of the radar flow meter 7 in the water tank 1, the drive component drives the slide plate 3 to slide horizontally along the slide groove 2, thereby driving the bottom rotating rod 4, rotating plate 5 and protective shell 6 to move horizontally synchronously until the radar flow meter 7 reaches directly above the target monitoring area. The power component drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate at the bottom of the slide plate 3, and the rotating plate 5 at the bottom drives the protective shell 6 to rotate, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the radar flow meter 7 and ensuring that its detection direction is vertically aligned with the liquid surface.

[0046] The driver components include:

[0047] Rotating wheel 10 and transmission wheel 2 11 are rotatably mounted on the top of the slide plate 3. A belt 12 is installed between rotating wheel 10 and transmission wheel 2 11 for transmission. The bottom end of transmission wheel 2 11 passes through the top of the slide plate 3 and is coaxially connected to the rotating rod 4. A C-shaped support plate 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide plate 3 and directly above rotating wheel 10. A first motor 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the C-shaped support plate 13. The output shaft of the first motor 14 passes through the top of the C-shaped support plate 13 and is coaxially connected to rotating wheel 10.

[0048] The first motor 14 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating wheel 10 to rotate. The rotating wheel 10 drives the transmission wheel 11 to rotate synchronously through the belt 12. Since the transmission wheel 11 is coaxially connected with the rotating rod 4, the rotating rod 4 rotates at the bottom of the slide plate 3 and drives the protective shell 6 to rotate through the rotating plate 5 at the bottom, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the radar flow meter 7.

[0049] The output shaft of the first motor 14 is rotatably connected to the C-shaped support plate 13.

[0050] This ensures that the first motor 14 can operate normally on the C-shaped support plate 13.

[0051] The power components include:

[0052] A threaded rod 15 is rotatably installed in one of the slide grooves 2. A rectangular groove 16 is provided in the water tank 1 on one side of one of the slide grooves 2. One end of the threaded rod 15 extends through one end of the slide plate 3 and one side of the slide groove 2 into the rectangular groove 16 and is fixedly installed with a bevel gear 17. A bevel gear 18 is meshed in the rectangular groove 16 on one side of the bevel gear 17. A second motor 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 1. The output shaft of the second motor 19 extends through one side of the water tank 1 into the rectangular groove 16 and is coaxially connected with the bevel gear 18.

[0053] When the second motor 19 is started, its output shaft drives the second bevel gear 18 in the rectangular groove 16 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 18 meshes with the first bevel gear 17, the first bevel gear 17 rotates with it and drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate in the slide groove 2. Since the slide plate 3 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15 and the two ends of the slide plate 3 are limited by the slide groove 2, the rotational motion of the threaded rod 15 is converted into the horizontal sliding of the slide plate 3 along the slide groove 2, thereby driving the rotating rod 4, rotating plate 5 and protective shell 6 at the bottom to move horizontally synchronously.

[0054] The output shaft of the second motor 19 is rotatably connected to the water tank 1, the slide plate 3 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15, and both the first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18 are rotatably connected to the rectangular groove 16.

[0055] In this process, the second motor 19 is ensured to operate normally on the water tank 1. Under the action of the thread, the rotating threaded rod 15 drives the slide plate 3 to slide, ensuring that the first bevel gear 17 and the second bevel gear 18 rotate within the rectangular groove 16.

[0056] The transparent panel 8 is made of transparent acrylic and has a thickness of 0.2mm-0.5mm.

[0057] The protective shell 6 is made of transparent acrylic material, which provides dust and water protection for the radar flow meter 7 and ensures that the radar waves can penetrate without attenuation.

[0058] A battery is fixedly installed inside the protective casing 6, and the battery is electrically connected to the radar flow meter 7.

[0059] The system includes a battery that ensures a continuous power supply to the radar flow meter 7.

[0060] Working principle: When using this integrated water tank flow monitoring device, if it is necessary to adjust the horizontal monitoring position of the radar flow meter 7 in the water tank 1, the second motor 19 is started. Its output shaft drives the second bevel gear 18 in the rectangular groove 16 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 18 meshes with the first bevel gear 17, the first bevel gear 17 rotates with it and drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate in the slide groove 2. Because the slide plate 3 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 15, and the two ends of the slide plate 3 are limited by the slide groove 2, the rotational motion of the threaded rod 15 is converted into the horizontal sliding of the slide plate 3 along the slide groove 2, thereby driving the rotating rod 4, rotating plate 5 and protective shell 6 at the bottom to move horizontally synchronously until the radar flow meter 7 reaches directly above the target monitoring area. During this process, the rectangular groove 16 provides a closed space for the bevel gear transmission to avoid impurities interfering with the transmission accuracy. The rotational connection between the second motor 19 and the water tank 1 ensures the stable rotation of the output shaft.

[0061] The first motor 14 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating wheel 10 to rotate. The rotating wheel 10 drives the transmission wheel 11 to rotate synchronously through the belt 12. Since the transmission wheel 11 is coaxially connected with the rotating rod 4, the rotating rod 4 rotates at the bottom of the slide plate 3 and drives the protective shell 6 to rotate through the rotating plate 5 at the bottom, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the radar flow meter 7 and ensuring that its detection direction is perpendicular to the liquid surface. The protective shell 6 is made of transparent acrylic material, which not only provides dustproof and waterproof protection for the radar flow meter 7, but also ensures that the radar wave penetrates without attenuation.

[0062] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application 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 do 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 application.
