[0002] A hydrographic depth gauge is an instrument used to measure the depth of water bodies, typically in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and other bodies of water. They acquire depth data using various sensors or technologies, such as sonar, lasers, or pressure sensors. This data is crucial for hydrology, water resource management, and environmental monitoring. Featuring dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof capabilities, these instruments integrate water depth measurement, software-based graphical navigation, positioning data, and water depth data acquisition. They are ideal for depth measurement in oceans, rivers, lakes, land, and for surveying in mining, port, and waterway dredging projects.

[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0032] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hydrological depth measuring instrument, including a stand 1.

[0034] The winding mechanism 2 is located on top of the platform 1;

[0035] The windbreak flag mechanism 3 is located on the outside of the winding mechanism 2;

[0036] The counterweight anti-compression mechanism 4 is located at one end of the winding mechanism 2;

[0037] The detection probe 5 is located inside the counterweight anti-compression mechanism 4;

[0038] The detection control component is located on the top of the test bench 1;

[0039] The wind-breaking flag mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 301. Two triangular flags 302 are symmetrically installed on the outer side of the sleeve 301. Two first fixed frames 303 are symmetrically installed on the outer bottom of the sleeve 301. One end of each first fixed frame 303 and one side of the other first fixed frame 303 are rotatably connected to a connecting frame 304. One end of each connecting frame 304 is rotatably connected to a second fixed frame 305. A rotating block 306 is fixedly installed between the two second fixed frames 305. A U-shaped frame 307 is installed at the bottom of the platform 1. A second servo motor 308 is installed at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 307. The output end of the second servo motor 308 passes through the U-shaped frame 307 and is connected to the rotating block 306. Through the setting of the wind-breaking flag mechanism 3, the cable can be limited to prevent the cable from swinging significantly during the measurement process. At the same time, the orientation of the flags can be adjusted to achieve a good wind-breaking effect, reduce the impact of wind on the cable, and thus improve the measurement accuracy, which can meet the actual use requirements.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the counterweight anti-compression mechanism 4 includes a connecting block 401, a detection probe 5 fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 401, a pressure-reducing cylinder 402 installed on the outside of the connecting block 401, a plurality of honeycomb holes 403 penetrating through the outside of the pressure-reducing cylinder 402, a limit frame 404 installed on the inside of the pressure-reducing cylinder 402, a plurality of connecting rods 405 installed at the bottom of the pressure-reducing cylinder 402, and a counterweight conical base 406 connected to the bottom of the plurality of connecting rods 405. Through the setting of the counterweight anti-compression mechanism 4, the impact force of turbulence in the water body can be reduced by using the honeycomb holes for buffering. At the same time, the conical counterweight design prevents the detection probe from sinking into the sludge at the bottom of the water body, further improving the measurement accuracy and reducing the difficulty of using the equipment.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the detection and control component includes a wind speed and direction sensor 6, which is fixedly installed on the top of the stand 1. A mounting bracket 7 is installed on the top of the stand 1, and a main controller 8 is installed on the top of the mounting bracket 7. The wind speed and direction sensor 6 is connected to the main controller 8 through internal wires. The main controller 8 is connected to the winding mechanism 2 and the second servo motor 308 through internal wires. By setting up the detection and control component, a good linkage relationship can be formed with the wind-breaking flag mechanism 3. Using the detected wind direction and wind speed information, the wind-breaking flag mechanism 3 can be adjusted in a timely manner to cope with different weather conditions.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the winding mechanism 2 includes two supports 201, both of which are fixedly installed on the top of the platform 1. A first servo motor 202 is installed on one side of each support 201. The output end of the first servo motor 202 passes through a corresponding support 201 and is connected to a winding roller 203. A cable 204 is wound around the outside of the winding roller 203. One end of the cable 204 is connected to the connecting block 401 and the detection probe 5. A sleeve 301 is fitted on the outside of the cable 204. Through the setting of the winding mechanism 2, the cable can be quickly wound or unwound, which greatly reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the work efficiency.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a guide wheel support mechanism 9 is provided on the top of the stand 1, and the cable 204 is attached to the outside of the guide wheel support mechanism 9;

[0044] The guide wheel support mechanism 9 includes an inclined frame 901, which is installed on the top of the platform 1. A main support frame 902 is installed on one side of the inclined frame 901. A first guide wheel 903 is installed inside one side of the inclined frame 901. A second guide wheel 904 is installed inside one side of the main support frame 902. A third guide wheel 905 is installed on the top side of the main support frame 902. A fourth guide wheel 906 is installed on the top inner side of the inclined frame 901. Through the setting of the guide wheel support mechanism 9, the cable can be well guided and supported, ensuring the stability of the equipment during use and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a lighting mechanism 10 is provided on the top of the stand 1;

[0046] The lighting mechanism 10 includes a fixed base 1001, which is fixedly installed on the top of the platform 1. A third servo motor 1002 is installed on one side of the fixed base 1001. The output end of the third servo motor 1002 passes through the fixed base 1001 and is connected to a rotating arm 1003. One end of the rotating arm 1003 is rotatably connected to an extension arm 1004. A lighting lamp 1005 is installed on one end of the extension arm 1004. With the lighting mechanism 10, strong light can be used to illuminate the water body, which makes it easier for operators to control the line laying speed and can cope with relatively bad weather and dark water environment.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, support legs 11 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the platform 1, and each support leg 11 is equipped with an anti-slip base 12. The support legs 11 and the anti-slip base 12 can provide stable support for the equipment and prevent the equipment from shaking or shifting.

[0048] Working principle: In use, firstly, one end of the cable 204 is passed under the first guide wheel 903 and the second guide wheel 904, and simultaneously placed on the outside of the third guide wheel 905, and then placed on top of the fourth guide wheel 906. Next, one end of the cable is passed through the sleeve 301 and connected to the detection probe 5. By starting the third servo motor 1002, the rotating arm 1003 is driven to rotate, causing the lighting lamp 1005 to illuminate the water. Then, depending on the water conditions, the first servo motor 202 is started to drive the take-up roller 203 to rotate, slowly winding up and unwinding the cable 204, causing the detection probe 5 to fall vertically into the water. Then, the wind speed and direction sensor 6 detects the current wind direction and speed and transmits the detection results to the main controller 8. The main controller 8 controls the second servo motor 308 to start based on the data, driving the rotating block 306 to rotate. This causes the second fixed frame 305 and the connecting frame 304 to rotate under the action of rotational force, thereby adjusting the orientation of the triangular flag 302 and playing a good role in breaking the wind. Finally, when the detection probe 5 encounters turbulence in the water, the honeycomb holes 403 absorb and buffer the impact of the turbulence, thereby maintaining the stable vertical sinking of the detection probe 5 and measuring the hydrological depth.

[0049] Based on the above information, the use of the hydrological depth measuring instrument can be completed.

[0050] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. 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. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
