Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weir and flume technology, and in particular to a small integrated flow measurement device for weirs and flumes. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as agricultural irrigation, urban water supply and drainage, and industrial water recycling, small weirs and flumes are a common flow passage facility. The accurate measurement of their flow rate is of great significance for the rational allocation of water resources, engineering operation and management, and cost control.
[0003] However, traditional flow measurement devices are mostly based on empirical formulas or simple sensing elements for data collection. When faced with the complex water flow conditions in small weirs and flumes, they often produce large measurement errors and cannot provide accurate data support for subsequent water resource management and engineering control.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a small integrated flow measurement device for weirs and flumes. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a small integrated flow measurement device for weirs and flumes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a small integrated weir and flume flow measurement device, including a vertical retaining wall and a water guide wall, and an automatic rebound component. The automatic rebound component includes a through groove opened inside the water guide wall, a rotating column rotatably connected to the through groove, a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating column, and a spring sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod.
[0007] A metering water leakage component includes a rotating column fixedly connected inside a vertical retaining wall, and a water tank is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating column.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a cylinder is installed on the outer side of the vertical retaining wall, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the driving end of the cylinder.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push plate.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the two ends of the vertical retaining wall are fixedly connected to slide rails, and the outer side of the baffle is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rails.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the telescopic rod away from the water guide wall is rotatably connected to a rotating block, and the outer side of the rotating block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water tank.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom end of the baffle is in contact with the top end of the water tank.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] This invention provides installation space through a through slot, allowing the rotating column to support the telescopic rod, which in turn moves the water tank. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod extends and retracts to change position, and the elastic support of the spring enables the water tank to tilt and return to its original position. The rotating block transmits the motion to ensure synchronized operation. This design achieves automatic cyclic operation of the water tank, improving the stability and continuity of the device's operation, reducing the need for manual intervention, and avoiding the limitations of traditional devices that rely on empirical formulas or simple sensors. It effectively reduces measurement errors and provides more accurate data support for water resource management. Attached Figure Description

[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a small integrated weir and flume flow measurement device, including a vertical retaining wall 1 and a water guide wall 2, and also includes an automatic rebound component 3. The automatic rebound component 3 includes a through groove 31 opened inside the water guide wall 2. A rotating column 32 is rotatably connected to the through groove 31. A telescopic rod 33 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating column 32. A spring 34 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 33.
[0027] The through groove 31 provides installation space for the rotating column 32 and the telescopic rod 33, allowing them to rotate and extend smoothly inside the water guide wall 2. The rotating column 32 serves as the rotation support point for the telescopic rod 33, enabling the telescopic rod 33 to rotate around it, thereby driving the movement of the water tank 42. The telescopic rod 33 connects the rotating column 32 and the water tank 42. Through its own extension and retraction, it drives the water tank 42 to change position, realizing the tilting and resetting actions of the water tank 42. The spring 34 provides elastic support for the telescopic rod 33. When the telescopic rod 33 is subjected to external force, the spring 34 can generate elastic deformation and store energy. When the external force disappears, the spring 34 releases energy, causing the telescopic rod 33 to return to its original position, thereby driving the water tank 42 to reset. The rotating block 35 transmits the movement of the telescopic rod 33 to the water tank 42, enabling the water tank 42 to rotate accordingly with the movement of the telescopic rod 33.
[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the metering leakage component 4 includes a rotating column 41 fixedly connected inside the vertical retaining wall 1, and a water tank 42 rotatably connected to the outer side of the rotating column 41. A cylinder 43 is installed on the outer side of the vertical retaining wall 1, and a push plate 44 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the cylinder 43. A baffle 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push plate 44. Slide rails 46 are fixedly connected to both ends inside the vertical retaining wall 1, and the outer side of the baffle 45 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rails 46. A rotating block 35 is rotatably connected to the end of the telescopic rod 33 away from the water guide wall 2, and the outer side of the rotating block 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water tank 42. One end of the spring 34 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 33, and the other end of the spring 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water tank 42. The bottom end of the baffle 45 contacts the top end of the water tank 42.
[0029] The rotating column 41 of the metering leakage component 4 serves as the rotational support point for the water tank 42, allowing the water tank 42 to rotate around it. This enables the tilting and resetting actions of the water tank 42. The water tank 42 stores a certain amount of water, and through its tilting and resetting actions, it achieves the function of metering leakage, thereby enabling flow rate measurement. The cylinder 43 provides power to the push plate 44. Through the extension and retraction of the cylinder 43, the push plate 44 and the baffle 45 are pushed to move, thereby controlling the leakage action of the water tank 42. The push plate 44 moves the cylinder... The power of cylinder 43 is transmitted to baffle 45, enabling baffle 45 to move in the direction of cylinder 43. Baffle 45 controls the water leakage action of water tank 42 by contacting the top of water tank 42. When baffle 45 moves, it pushes water tank 42 to tilt, thereby realizing water leakage. When baffle 45 resets, water tank 42 resets under the action of automatic rebound component 3, stopping water leakage. Slide rail 46 provides sliding support and guidance for baffle 45, enabling baffle 45 to move smoothly along the predetermined track.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown:
[0032] In use: First, the through groove 31 provides installation space for the rotating column 32 and the telescopic rod 33, allowing them to rotate and extend smoothly inside the water guide wall 2. Then, the rotating column 32 serves as the rotational support point for the telescopic rod 33, enabling it to rotate around itself and thus drive the movement of the water tank 42. Simultaneously, the telescopic rod 33 connects the rotating column 32 and the water tank 42, and through its own extension and retraction, it can cause the water tank 42 to change position, thereby achieving the tilting and resetting actions of the water tank 42. During this process, the spring... Spring 34 provides elastic support for telescopic rod 33. When telescopic rod 33 is subjected to external force, spring 34 can generate elastic deformation and store energy. When the external force disappears, spring 34 releases energy, causing telescopic rod 33 to return to its original position, thereby driving water tank 42 to reset. Finally, rotating block 35 transmits the movement of telescopic rod 33 to water tank 42, so that water tank 42 can rotate accordingly with the movement of telescopic rod 33, realizing the automatic tilting and reset function of water tank 42, and ensuring the automated operation of flow measurement device.

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.
