Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of retaining wall monitoring technology, specifically a retaining wall monitoring device that adapts to changes in water level. Background Technology

[0002] In water conservancy projects, port construction, and river management, retaining walls serve as crucial protective structures, and their stability directly impacts project safety and the protection of the surrounding environment. To monitor the status of retaining walls in real time, adaptive water level monitoring devices have emerged. These devices, through the coordinated operation of components such as water level sensors and displacement sensors, can continuously monitor parameters such as displacement and tilt of the retaining wall during water level fluctuations, providing data support for project maintenance and risk warning.

[0003] Currently, with the intensification of climate change and the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events, the amplitude and frequency of water level fluctuations have increased significantly. Existing detection methods typically employ float-type sensors that can adaptively follow water level changes. However, when encountering strong water flow impacts, the floats, due to their structural characteristics, are unable to maintain a stable posture and are prone to displacement or tilting. This causes the sensor's acquisition position to deviate from the predetermined monitoring point, failing to accurately reflect the true state of the retaining wall. At the same time, the cables on the device become twisted and tangled due to the displacement and tilting, leading to accelerated cable wear and potentially causing data transmission interruptions. This makes it difficult for the monitoring system to provide timely and accurate early warnings of safety hazards to the retaining wall, seriously affecting the effectiveness and reliability of retaining wall monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides an adaptive water level change retaining wall monitoring device, which effectively limits the displacement or tilting of the moving base under the impact of water flow, ensures that the monitoring sensor is always at the predetermined monitoring point, and guarantees the accuracy of retaining wall status monitoring, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: an adaptive water level change retaining wall monitoring device, comprising a retaining wall body, two guide rails fixedly connected to the outer side of the retaining wall body, a movable seat provided on the outer side of the retaining wall body, and the outer side of the movable seat slidably connected to the inner side of the guide rails, a monitoring sensor fixedly installed on the inner side of the movable seat, a float fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable seat, a positive protection component provided on the front of the movable seat, the positive protection component comprising a first protection block, two symmetrical hinge plates hinged to the outer side of the first protection block, a movable plate hinged to the other end of each of the two hinge plates, a first buffer spring fixedly connected to the opposite end of each of the two movable plates, and side protection components provided on both sides of the movable seat, the side protection components comprising a damper fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable seat, a second protection block fixedly connected to one end of the damper, and a second buffer spring in a rectangular array fixedly connected to the outer side of the second protection block.

[0006] The above solution, through the sliding connection structure between the guide rail and the moving base, provides precise guidance for the movement of the moving base. Combined with the buoyancy of the float, the moving base can stably rise and fall along the guide rail when the water level changes, effectively limiting the displacement or tilting of the moving base under the impact of water flow. This ensures that the monitoring sensor is always at the predetermined monitoring point, guaranteeing the accuracy of monitoring the retaining wall status. At the same time, the buffer springs and damping structures in the front and side protection components can effectively reduce the impact force when the water flow impacts the moving base through elastic buffering and damping energy dissipation, further enhancing the stability of the moving base and reducing the risk of cable twisting and entanglement caused by the shaking of the moving base.

[0007] Furthermore, the positive protection component also includes two symmetrical fixed sleeves, one end of each of the two first buffer springs is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed sleeves, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the inside of each of the two fixed sleeves, with one end of the sliding rod fixedly connected to the outside of the first protective block.

[0008] The above solution enhances the stability of the positive protection component by setting a sliding connection structure between the fixed sleeve and the slide rod, allowing the first protective block to return to its original position smoothly when impacted, avoiding overall device displacement due to water flow impact, and further ensuring the accuracy of monitoring data.

[0009] Furthermore, guide rods are fixedly connected to the sides of the two fixed sleeves that are close to each other, and the inner sides of the two movable plates are slidably connected to the outer sides of the guide rods.

[0010] The above-mentioned design allows the sliding of the movable plate to be smoother, ensuring the transmission efficiency of the hinge plate, while limiting the displacement range of the movable plate to prevent structural deformation or failure due to excessive movement.

[0011] Furthermore, damping sleeves are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both movable plates, and the inner sides of the damping sleeves are slidably connected to the outer sides of the guide rod.

[0012] The above solution, by setting the damping sleeve and guide rod together, can slow down the sliding speed of the moving plate, reduce the instantaneous impact of water flow, avoid damage to the device due to violent shaking, and extend its service life.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer side of the first protective block is tapered.

[0014] Through the above scheme, the conical design of the first protective block can effectively divert the impact water flow, reduce frontal resistance, reduce the force on the moving seat, and thus improve the stability of the device in a strong water flow environment.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the four second buffer springs is equipped with a guide telescopic rod inside, and the two ends of the guide telescopic rod are respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the second protective block and the outside of the movable seat.

[0016] The above solution, through the synergistic effect of the damper and the second buffer spring, can absorb lateral impact forces, prevent the moving seat from shifting laterally, and ensure that the monitoring sensor is always aligned with the predetermined monitoring point.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer side of the second protective block is tapered.

[0018] The above solution, by setting the conical design of the second protective block, can effectively divert the impact water flow, reduce frontal resistance, reduce the force on the moving seat, and thus improve the stability of the device in a strong water flow environment.

[0019] Furthermore, a baffle is fixedly connected to the upper side of the movable seat.

[0020] Through the above solution, the baffle of the moving base can block debris or water flow from directly impacting the moving base, reduce external interference, ensure the safety of monitoring sensors and cables, and improve the long-term operational stability of the device.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This adaptive water level change retaining wall monitoring device, through the sliding connection structure between the guide rail and the movable seat, provides precise guidance for the movement of the movable seat. Combined with the buoyancy of the float, the movable seat rises and falls stably along the guide rail when the water level changes, effectively limiting the displacement or tilting of the movable seat under the impact of water flow. This ensures that the monitoring sensor is always at the predetermined monitoring point, guaranteeing the accuracy of retaining wall status monitoring. Simultaneously, the buffer springs and damping structures in the front and side protection components can effectively reduce the impact force when water flow impacts the movable seat through elastic buffering and damping energy dissipation, further enhancing the stability of the movable seat and reducing the risk of cable twisting and entanglement caused by the swaying of the movable seat, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This embodiment of an adaptive water level change retaining wall monitoring device includes a retaining wall body 1. Two guide rails 2 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the retaining wall body 1. A movable seat 3 is provided on the outer side of the retaining wall body 1, and the outer side of the movable seat 3 is slidably connected to the inner side of the guide rails 2. The sliding connection structure between the guide rails 2 and the movable seat 3 can provide precise guidance for the movement of the movable seat 3, so that the movable seat 3 can stably rise and fall along the guide rails 2 when the water level changes, effectively limiting the displacement or tilting of the movable seat 3 under the impact of water flow, ensuring that the monitoring sensor 4 is always at the predetermined monitoring point, and ensuring the accuracy of the retaining wall status monitoring. The monitoring sensor 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the movable seat 3, and the inner wall of the movable seat 3 is fixed. A float 5 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 3. A positive protection component 6 is provided on the front of the movable seat 3. The positive protection component 6 includes a first protective block 601. Two symmetrical hinge plates 602 are hinged to the outer side of the first protective block 601. A movable plate 603 is hinged to the other end of each of the two hinge plates 602. A first buffer spring 604 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each of the two movable plates 603. Side protection components 7 are provided on both sides of the movable seat 3. A baffle is fixedly connected to the upper side of the movable seat 3. The baffle of the movable seat 3 can prevent debris or water flow from directly impacting the movable seat 3, reduce external interference, ensure the safety of the monitoring sensor 4 and the cable, and improve the long-term operational stability of the device.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4The positive protection component 6 also includes two symmetrical fixed sleeves 606. One end of each of the two first buffer springs 604 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed sleeves 606. A sliding rod 607 is slidably connected to the inside of each of the two fixed sleeves 606, and one end of the sliding rod 607 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first protective block 601. This sliding connection structure between the fixed sleeves 606 and the sliding rods 607 enhances the stability of the positive protection component 6, allowing the first protective block 601 to smoothly return to its original position when impacted, preventing the entire device from shifting due to water flow impact, and further ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring data. A guide rod 608 is fixedly connected to one side of the two fixed sleeves 606 that is close to each other. The inside of each of the two movable plates 603 is slidably connected to the outside of the guide rod 608. The aforementioned guide rod 608... The arrangement makes the sliding of the movable plate 603 smoother, ensuring the transmission efficiency of the hinge plate 602, while limiting the displacement range of the movable plate 603 to prevent structural deformation or failure due to excessive movement. Damping sleeves 605 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both movable plates 603, and the inner side of the damping sleeves 605 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod 608. By setting the cooperation between the damping sleeves 605 and the guide rod 608, the sliding speed of the movable plate 603 can be reduced, the instantaneous impact of water flow impact can be reduced, the device can be prevented from being damaged by violent shaking, and the service life can be extended. The outer side of the first protective block 601 is tapered. The tapered design of the first protective block 601 can effectively divert the impact water flow, reduce the frontal resistance, reduce the force on the movable seat 3, and thus improve the stability of the device in a strong water flow environment.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 The side protection component 7 includes a damper 701 fixedly connected to the outside of the movable seat 3. One end of the damper 701 is fixedly connected to a second protective block 702. Four rectangular arrays of second buffer springs 703 are fixedly connected to the outside of the second protective block 702. Each of the four second buffer springs 703 has a guide telescopic rod 704 inside. The two ends of the guide telescopic rod 704 are fixedly connected to the outside of the second protective block 702 and the outside of the movable seat 3, respectively. By setting the damper 701 and the second buffer spring 703 in synergy, the lateral impact force can be absorbed, preventing the movable seat 3 from shifting laterally and ensuring that the monitoring sensor 4 is always aligned with the predetermined monitoring point. One side of the outer side of the second protective block 702 is tapered. The tapered design of the second protective block 702 can effectively divert the impact water flow, reduce the frontal resistance, reduce the force on the movable seat 3, and thus improve the stability of the device in a strong water flow environment.

[0034] This embodiment of an adaptive water level change retaining wall monitoring device, through the sliding connection structure between the guide rail 2 and the movable seat 3, provides precise guidance for the movement of the movable seat 3. Combined with the buoyancy of the float 5, the movable seat 3 can stably rise and fall along the guide rail 2 when the water level changes, effectively limiting the displacement or tilting of the movable seat 3 under the impact of water flow, ensuring that the monitoring sensor 4 is always at the predetermined monitoring point, and guaranteeing the accuracy of the retaining wall status monitoring. At the same time, the buffer springs and damping structures in the front protection component 6 and the side protection component 7 can effectively reduce the impact force when the water flow impacts the movable seat 3 through elastic buffering and damping energy dissipation, further enhancing the stability of the movable seat 3, reducing the risk of cable twisting and entanglement caused by the shaking of the movable seat 3, and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When the water level changes, the float 5 is driven by buoyancy to move the movable seat 3 up and down along the guide rail 2, so that the monitoring sensor 4 is always at a suitable monitoring height and position. Then, during the water flow impact, the first protective block 601 of the front protection component 6 guides the water flow through the conical structure to disperse the frontal impact force. The hinge plate 602, the movable plate 603, together with the first buffer spring 604, the fixed sleeve 606, the slide rod 607, the guide rod 608 and the damping sleeve 605, elastically buffer and dampen the frontal impact force to dissipate energy. Then, the damper 701 of the side protection component 7... The conical structure guides the flow and absorbs lateral impact through its own damping characteristics. The second protective block 702, together with the second buffer spring 703 and the guide telescopic rod 704, further buffers the lateral impact, jointly maintaining the stability of the movable seat 3 and reducing deviation and tilt. At this time, the baffle on the upper side of the movable seat 3 blocks the impact of the water flow above, reducing the shaking amplitude of the device. During this process, the movable seat 3 operates stably, and the monitoring sensor 4 accurately collects the retaining wall status data. The connecting cable is also prevented from twisting and tangling due to the stability of the device, ensuring that the data can be stably transmitted to the external system, realizing accurate and reliable monitoring of the retaining wall status.
