The inner cavity of the runoff interception trough is divided into a first interception chamber and a second interception chamber connected to the runoff collector via a water guide pipe by a vertical filter. The top of the second interception chamber is covered with a horizontal filter. This utility model reduces interference from external factors such as litter and insects by setting vertical and horizontal filters, solving the problem of rainwater overflow during heavy rainfall. The runoff interception trough is slightly inclined, and the outlet of the rectangular runoff interception trough and the runoff collector are connected by a water guide pipe, which greatly reduces the evaporation of collected rainwater. The rectangular runoff interception trough and the runoff collector are relatively independent, making sampling convenient.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: Although existing collection and measurement devices can effectively collect rainfall runoff in forest understory vegetation areas and reduce litter disturbance and evaporation loss, in practical applications, they cannot effectively adapt to the morphology of shrub branches and trunks and conduct runoff collection and measurement, resulting in the inability to accurately obtain runoff data generated by shrub branches and trunks, thus affecting the ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a shrub branch and trunk runoff collection and measurement device, which can effectively solve the problem of inaccurate runoff collection caused by the inability to effectively adapt to the morphology of shrub branches and trunks in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

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.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] See attached document Figure 1-5 A shrub branch and trunk runoff collection and measurement device includes: a measurement device body 1, the top of the measurement device body 1 is connected to a connecting collection component 2 through a pipe, the connecting collection component 2 includes a collection ring 21, the top of the collection ring 21 is connected to a water-proof layer 22, the top of the water-proof layer 22 is fixedly connected to a water-permeable layer 23, and the top of the water-permeable layer 23 is fixedly connected to a water-absorbing and impurity-blocking layer 24.

[0031] A connecting protective assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the back of the permeable layer 23. The connecting protective assembly 3 includes a protective layer 31. Adhesive plates 32 are fixedly connected to both the outer side of the front and the back of the protective layer 31. Several sets of protective plates 33 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the adhesive plates 32. The top of the protective layer 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-absorbing and impermeable layer 24. The front of the protective layer 31 is fixedly connected to the back of the waterproof layer 22. It is worth noting that the number and size of the adhesive plates 32, as well as the connected protective plates 33, heat-insulating and sun-protecting layer 6, and wear-resistant layer 7, are determined according to the specific size of the branches and their intended use. The requirements can be adapted and adjusted. The water-absorbing and impurity-blocking layer 24 can absorb runoff from the surface of shrub branches and block impurities. The water-permeable layer 23 allows filtered water to flow downwards. The water-proof layer 22 can prevent water leakage. The collection ring 21 guides the collected water flow through the pipe into the measuring device body 1 and connects it to the protective component 3. After tearing off the protective plate 33, the adhesive plates 32 can be glued together, so that the protective layer 31 fits the shape of the branches and is fixed. The protective layer 31 protects the internal structure, thereby realizing the collection of shrub branch runoff, adapting to the shape of the branches and improving the effectiveness of collection.

[0032] A water-absorbing layer 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the permeable layer 23. The top and bottom of the water-absorbing layer 4 are fixedly connected to the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 and the water-proof layer 22, respectively. When the device surrounds the surface of the branches, the water-absorbing layer 4 can absorb the rainwater seeping from the surface of the branches. Its fixed connection with the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 and the water-proof layer 22 can enhance the adsorption capacity for runoff, preventing the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 from failing to effectively absorb runoff when there is a lot of runoff from the branches, thus avoiding runoff leakage. The system includes a hydrophobic layer 41, a flow-guiding layer 42 fixedly connected to the front of the hydrophobic layer 41, a hydrophilic layer 43 fixedly connected to the front of the flow-guiding layer 42, and a protective layer 31 fixedly connected to the outer side of the hydrophilic layer 43. The hydrophilic layer 43 can efficiently adsorb runoff water, the flow-guiding layer 42 can guide the absorbed water to the hydrophobic layer 41, the hydrophobic layer 41 can guide water to the permeable layer 23, and the hydrophobic layer 41 can block water from back-permeating. The three components work together to improve water conduction efficiency and reduce water loss.

[0033] The water-absorbing and impurity-blocking layer 24 includes a water-absorbing plate 241. A filter layer 242 is fixedly connected to the top of the water-absorbing plate 241, and a support layer 243 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter layer 242. The filter layer 242 can filter impurities in the runoff, and the water-absorbing plate 241 is responsible for absorbing the filtered water. The support layer 243 provides structural support for the top of the filter layer 242 and the water-absorbing plate 241 to ensure their stability. Two sets of winding ropes 5 are fixedly connected to one side of the protective layer 31. Heat-insulating and sun-protecting layers 6 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the protective layer 31 and the protective plate 33. The winding ropes 5 can securely wrap the device around the shrub branches to prevent it from falling off. The heat-insulating and sun-protecting layers 6 can block external high temperatures and ultraviolet rays to prevent the protective layer 31 and the protective plate 33 from being damaged by environmental factors.

[0034] A wear-resistant layer 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the heat-insulating and sun-protecting layer 6. A friction block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the wear-resistant layer 7. The wear-resistant layer 7 enhances the wear resistance of the device surface, preventing damage when subjected to wear. The friction block 8 increases the friction with the winding rope 5, preventing the winding rope 5 from slipping and improving the fixing stability. A support rod 9 is fixedly connected inside the water-permeable layer 23. The top of the support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-absorbing and impurity-preventing layer 24, and the bottom of the support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the water-proof layer 22. The support rod 9 supports the water-absorbing and impurity-preventing layer 24 and... The water-proof layer 22 serves as a support, preventing structural deformation due to external forces or its own weight, thus ensuring the overall stability of the device. The top of the water-absorbing and impurity-proof layer 24 is inclined, and an anti-adhesion and seepage-proof layer 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the water-absorbing and impurity-proof layer 24. An adhesive layer 11 is fixedly connected to the front of the water-absorbing and impurity-proof layer 24. The inclined top of the water-absorbing and impurity-proof layer 24 prevents the accumulation of impurities. The anti-adhesion and seepage-proof layer 10 can reduce the adhesion of impurities to maintain smooth water seepage. The adhesive layer 11 can enhance the tightness of the fit with the branches and trunk, further improving the efficiency and adaptability of runoff collection.

[0035] Working principle: When using this shrub branch runoff collection and measurement device, the device must first be fixedly installed on the shrub branch. First, the water-absorbing layer 4 is pressed tightly against the surface of the shrub branch. Then, the other structures and the protective layer 31 are moved together. First, the end of the protective layer 31 without the wrapping rope 5 is manually fixed to one side of the shrub branch. Then, the other end of the protective layer 31 is moved and the water-absorbing layer 4 is pressed tightly against the surface of the shrub branch. Then, the other end of the protective layer 31 is moved to the front of the protective layer 31. Then, according to the fixing requirements, the protective plate 33 on the outside of the adhesive plate 32 is torn off. The adhesive plates 32 on the front and back of the protective layer 31 are used to attach and fix the protective layer 31 together. Then, the two sets of wrapping ropes 5 on one side of the protective layer 31 are moved to further secure the device. The friction block 8 on the outside of the wear-resistant layer 7 increases the friction with the wrapping rope 5 to prevent the device from loosening and falling off.

[0036] Then, when the runoff generated by rainfall or snowmelt flows along the branches of the shrub, the runoff first comes into contact with the water-absorbing barrier layer 24. The anti-sticking and permeable layer 10 on top of the layer reduces the adhesion of impurities. The inclined top structure guides the runoff to converge. The support layer 243 provides stable support for the filter layer 242 and the water-absorbing plate 241. The filter layer 242 first filters impurities such as dead branches and mud in the runoff. Then the filtered runoff is absorbed by the water-absorbing plate 241. At the same time, the permeable layer 23 at the bottom of the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 maintains its structural shape under the support of the support rod 9, ensuring that the absorbed water can permeate downward smoothly. The water-absorbing layer 4 on the front of the permeable layer 23 is close to the branches of the shrub, further assisting in the collection of runoff. The hydrophilic layer 43 efficiently adsorbs the water seeping from the surface of the branches. The flow guiding layer 42 directs the water to the hydrophobic layer 41. The hydrophobic layer 41 prevents the water from permeating backward and guides it to the permeable layer 23, avoiding leakage problems caused by large runoff volume.

[0037] Subsequently, the water that has permeated through the permeation layer 23 cannot leak outward due to the obstruction of the water-proof layer 22. Instead, it can only collect along the water-proof layer 22 to the bottom collection ring 21. The collected runoff is then introduced into the measuring device body 1 through the pipe from the collection ring 21. During this process, the bonding layer 11 on the front of the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 is tightly attached to the surface of the shrub branches, which enhances the tightness of the bond with the branches and further reduces the loss of runoff. The fixed connection between the water-proof layer 22 and the permeation layer 23 and the water-absorbing barrier layer 24, as well as the support of the support rod 9 for the water-absorbing barrier layer 24 and the water-proof layer 22, ensure the structural stability of the entire runoff collection path.

[0038] Ultimately, the runoff collected in the measuring device body 1 is accurately measured, thus completing the collection and measurement of shrub branch runoff data. This not only achieves effective adaptation to branch morphology, but also ensures the accuracy of runoff collection and the durability of the device through multi-layer filtration, flow guidance and protection design. At the same time, during use, the heat insulation and sun protection layer 6 on the outside of the protective layer 31 can block external high temperature and ultraviolet rays, while the wear-resistant layer 7 enhances the wear resistance of the device surface and improves the stability of the device in complex environments.

[0039] 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 protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
