Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water monitoring technology, and in particular to a super portable video flow rate monitor. Background Technology

[0002] Water is an important resource for human life and production. Water can be used for drinking, irrigation, and power generation, and it is involved in all aspects of social development. Therefore, people attach great importance to the development and utilization of water resources. However, floods can also threaten people's lives and property. While developing and utilizing water resources, we should pay more attention to the management of water resources. The management of water resources must achieve efficient and accurate hydrological monitoring.

[0003] When floods occur, the situation is urgent and requires efficient monitoring of flow velocity and flow rate. Currently, mature flow velocity measurement equipment includes rotor flow meters, radar flow meters, and ADCP, but the equipment and construction costs are relatively high, which is not conducive to large-scale promotion and use.

[0004] Video surveillance is becoming increasingly mature, and cameras are widely used in various industries. With the marginal benefits of scale, the cost advantage is becoming more and more significant. However, existing portable water monitoring instruments, in addition to cameras, also need to be equipped with ranging lasers or ranging radars to monitor water level and flow. The system is complex and costly, and users need to perform point-based ranging operations, which are cumbersome. In emergency monitoring scenarios, it cannot operate efficiently. Therefore, new technologies are needed to solve the problems of cost and ease of use. At the same time, the existing ranging methods that use lasers or ranging radars are relatively large. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a display screen, which is mounted on the surface of the monitor and connected to the CPU. The display screen is used to display the video acquired by the CPU and the corresponding flow rate.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an infrared fill light, which is installed on the surface of the monitor and positioned below the lens. The infrared fill light is connected to the CPU and is used to provide supplementary lighting when the lens cannot capture video.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an inclinometer, which is mounted on one side of the lens and used to measure the angle between the lens line of sight and the horizontal.

[0012] In addition, it also includes a battery, which is connected to the CPU to provide power to the CPU.
