Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water quality monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a miniature outdoor water quality monitoring station that is easy to deploy and operate. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of water environment protection and water resource management, water quality monitoring has become an important part of the environmental monitoring field. Traditional water quality monitoring relies mainly on fixed monitoring stations or manual sampling and laboratory analysis, which has problems such as long construction period, poor deployment flexibility, and insufficient real-time data. It is difficult to meet the needs of early warning of sudden water pollution events, dynamic monitoring of watersheds, and rapid deployment in complex field environments. In recent years, with the development of sensing technology, wireless communication technology, and embedded systems, portable and mobile miniature water quality monitoring equipment has gradually emerged. These devices usually have the advantages of small size, light weight, high integration, and easy operation, and are suitable for on-site monitoring tasks in various natural water environments such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands.

[0003] However, existing miniature water quality monitoring devices still have some problems in practical applications. First, most portable devices rely solely on their own weight or simple supports for fixation, making them prone to displacement under wind, water flow disturbances, or uneven ground conditions. This leads to unstable operation of the monitoring devices, affecting the continuity and accuracy of data collection and hindering the smooth progress of on-site operations. Second, some devices require complex assembly processes or special tools for installation and fixation, making operation cumbersome and difficult to achieve rapid deployment and withdrawal, thus limiting their applicability and flexibility in scenarios such as emergency monitoring and multi-point deployment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a miniature outdoor water quality monitoring station that can be quickly deployed for operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing portable water quality monitoring equipment, such as poor stability, complex installation, and low fixing efficiency during deployment, this utility model provides a miniature outdoor water quality monitoring station that can be quickly deployed for operation.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a miniature outdoor water quality monitoring station that is easy to deploy and operate, comprising a water quality monitoring station, with multiple casters installed at the bottom of the water quality monitoring station, guide rods fixedly installed on both sides of the water quality monitoring station, a sliding plate slidably mounted on the guide rod, an mounting plate fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and a first elastic element sleeved on the guide rod, with both ends of the first elastic element connected to the sliding plate and the guide rod respectively.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting plate is provided with several mounting holes evenly spaced apart.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, an installation block is fixedly connected to the top of the installation plate, and a locking hole is opened on the installation block. A fixing seat is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water quality monitoring station. A sliding rod is slidably arranged on the fixing seat. A locking block matching the shape of the locking hole is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod near the installation block. A second elastic element is sleeved on the sliding rod, and the two ends of the second elastic element are respectively connected to the sliding rod and the fixing seat.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the end of the slide rod away from the mounting block is designed with a ring-shaped grip structure.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water quality monitoring station has mounting bases fixed to both sides of its exterior. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on each mounting base, and a solar panel is mounted on the rotating shaft. Torsion springs are sleeved at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the torsion springs are respectively connected to the solar panel and the mounting base. Rotating plates are fixed to both ends of the rotating shaft. Symmetrically distributed limiting plates are fixed to the exterior sides of the water quality monitoring station. A top plate is slidably mounted on adjacent limiting plates, and the top plate contacts and engages with the limiting plates. A cylinder is mounted on the exterior sides of the water quality monitoring station, and the top end of the cylinder's movable rod is fixed to the top plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, in the initial state, the solar panel is kept in a downward folded state.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. The device can move flexibly through the universal wheels set at the bottom, and can be quickly transported to the vicinity of the target water area to meet the needs of multi-point deployment and emergency monitoring. In addition, the installation plate can be lowered and fixed by a simple pressing action, and with the bolt fixing method, no complicated tools or professional skills are required, which significantly improves the deployment efficiency of the device.

[0013] 2. This equipment is equipped with a locking block, locking hole, sliding rod and a second elastic element. In the initial state, the sliding plate is locked in the high position by locking the upper locking hole through the locking block. When fixing is required, the locking is manually released and the sliding plate is pressed down. The locking block automatically engages in the lower locking hole to maintain the low position. This dual locking mechanism effectively prevents the sliding plate from moving accidentally due to external force or elastic rebound, improving the safety and ease of operation of the equipment during deployment.

[0014] 3. This equipment is equipped with foldable solar panels, which can efficiently convert electrical energy under sunlight conditions to provide continuous and stable power support for water quality monitoring stations. The solar panels are automatically deployed and reclaimed through a torsion spring energy storage and cylinder drive structure, which not only improves energy utilization efficiency but also reduces dependence on external power sources.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A miniature outdoor water quality monitoring station that is easy to deploy includes a water quality monitoring station 1. The bottom of the water quality monitoring station 1 is equipped with four casters 2 arranged around the perimeter for easy movement in different terrain environments. Two guide rods 3 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the water quality monitoring station 1, symmetrically distributed front and back. The two guide rods 3 are slidably mounted on each other. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 4. The mounting plate 5 has several mounting holes evenly spaced for fixing bolts to pass through. The guide rods 3 are fitted with a first elastic element 6. The upper and lower ends of the first elastic element 6 are connected to the sliding plate 4 and the guide rods 3 respectively, so that the sliding plate 4 remains in an upward state when no external force is applied, thereby driving the mounting plate 5 to be suspended in the air.

[0023] When in use, this equipment can be moved flexibly by the universal wheels 2 at the bottom, facilitating rapid transportation to the vicinity of the target water area. At this time, the sliding plate 4 is in a high position under the action of the first elastic element 6, keeping the mounting plate 5 suspended in the air without affecting the mobility of the equipment. When it is necessary to stabilize and fix the water quality monitoring station 1, the operator presses down on the sliding plate 4, compressing the first elastic element 6, causing the sliding plate 4 to slide down along the guide rod 3, and driving the mounting plate 5 down until it touches the ground. Then, the fixing bolts are passed through the mounting holes on the mounting plate 5 and screwed into the ground to complete the positioning and stabilization of the equipment, preventing displacement under conditions such as wind, water flow disturbance, or uneven ground, ensuring the smooth progress of monitoring work. After completing the monitoring task at the current point, simply pull out the fixing bolts. Under the elastic force of the first elastic element 6, the sliding plate 4 automatically returns to its original position, driving the mounting plate 5 off the ground, restoring the entire equipment to a movable state, facilitating rapid transfer to the next monitoring point. This effectively improves the deployment efficiency and stability of the equipment in complex outdoor environments, meeting the practical application requirements of rapid response and multi-point deployment.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4The mounting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 7, which has symmetrically distributed locking holes. The water quality monitoring station 1 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the exterior of the mounting block 7. The mounting block 7 has a sliding rod 9. The end of the sliding rod 9 near the mounting block 7 is fixedly connected to a locking block 10 that matches the shape of the locking hole. When the sliding rod 9 drives the locking block 10 to engage with the upper and lower locking holes respectively, the mounting plate 5 can be locked in the initial high position and the lowered low position respectively. In addition, the end of the sliding rod 9 away from the mounting block 7 is designed with a ring grip structure. This structure is designed for the operator to grip and pull the sliding rod 9 to achieve the disengagement or engagement of the locking block 10 with the locking hole. The sliding rod 9 is fitted with a second elastic element 11. The front and rear ends of the second elastic element 11 are connected to the sliding rod 9 and the mounting block 8 respectively, providing the sliding rod 9 with an elastic restoring force to move in the direction of the mounting block 7, so as to ensure that the locking block 10 is stably embedded in the corresponding locking hole.

[0025] In the initial state, the sliding plate 4 is in a high position. At this time, the locking block 10 on the sliding rod 9 is engaged in the locking hole on the upper side of the mounting block 7, thereby locking the sliding plate 4 in a high position to prevent it from falling accidentally due to vibration or other external forces, and ensuring the stability of the equipment during transportation or when it is not in use. When on-site fixing is required, the operator first pulls the sliding rod 9 outward to overcome the resistance of the second elastic element 11, so that the locking block 10 is disengaged from the upper locking hole. Then, the operator presses the sliding plate 4 downward, driving the mounting plate 5 down until it touches the ground. When the sliding plate 4 descends to the predetermined position, the locking block 10 is aligned with the locking hole on the lower side of the mounting block 7. At this time, the sliding rod 9 is released. Under the reset action of the second elastic element 11, the locking block 10 automatically inserts into the lower locking hole, thereby locking the sliding plate 4 in a low position and preventing it from rebounding due to the rebound force of the first elastic element 6, thus ensuring that the mounting plate 5 is firmly attached to the ground.

[0026] Please see Figure 5The water quality monitoring station 1 has mounting bases 12 fixed to both its left and right sides. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably mounted on each mounting base 12, and a solar panel 14 is mounted on the rotating shaft 13. Initially, the solar panel 14 is folded downwards to reduce the overall size of the equipment for easier transportation and storage. Torsion springs 15 are fitted at both ends of the rotating shaft 13, and the torsion springs 15 are connected to the solar panel 14 and the mounting base 12 respectively. Initially, the torsion springs 15 are in a pre-tensioned state, capable of causing the solar panel 14 to... With an outward expansion trend, rotating plates 16 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 13. Symmetrically distributed limiting plates 17 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the water quality monitoring station 1. A top plate 18 is slidably provided on the adjacent limiting plates 17. The top plate 18 is in contact with the limiting plates 17 and abuts against the limiting plates 17 to limit the rotation of the solar panel 14. A cylinder 19 is installed on the rear side of the water quality monitoring station 1. The top end of the movable rod of the cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the top plate 18 to drive the top plate 18 to move up and down.

[0027] In the non-activated state, the solar panel 14 remains folded downwards, and the torsion spring 15 is in a pre-tensioned state, accumulating elastic potential energy to allow the solar panel 14 to unfold outwards. The top plate 18 is pushed by the cylinder 19 to maintain a high position, pressing against the rotating plate 16 to prevent it from driving the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. When it is necessary to unfold the solar panel 14 for power supply, the cylinder 19 is activated, causing it to move the top plate 18 downwards. The top plate 18 disengages from the upper limit position of the rotating plate 16, releasing the restriction on the rotating plate 16. At this time, the torsion spring 15 releases energy, driving the rotating plate 16 to rotate around the rotating shaft 13, thereby causing the solar panel 14 to unfold upwards to a horizontal position. The solar panel 14 absorbs solar radiation energy and converts it into electrical energy, providing continuous and stable power support for the water quality monitoring station 1. It does not require external power supply or frequent battery replacements and can be flexibly deployed in various natural water environments such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands, greatly enhancing the applicability of the equipment in complex terrains and remote areas.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
