[0002] A water level monitoring device is an intelligent equipment used for real-time acquisition, transmission, and analysis of water level data. It is widely used in rivers, reservoirs, lakes, groundwater systems, and urban pipe networks. It typically consists of a water level sensor (such as ultrasonic, radar, or float-type sensors), a data transmission module, a power supply system, and a protective structure. It automatically captures water level changes and transmits the data to a monitoring platform wirelessly or via wired connection, enabling remote real-time monitoring. Furthermore, its waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and wind- and sand-resistant designs allow it to adapt to complex and harsh environments, preventing equipment damage and ensuring the continuity and accuracy of data acquisition. This provides crucial data support for flood control and disaster reduction, water resource allocation, and engineering construction, contributing to scientific decision-making and safety management.

[0003] When using existing water level monitors, sealing rings are often installed around the equipment to prevent water from entering. However, the sealing rings are prone to aging and failure after long-term use, causing water to break through the sealing barrier and seep into the monitor, ultimately causing equipment damage and failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional testing device for testing the performance of composite materials, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A water level monitoring device with a protective structure includes a waterproof housing, a monitoring component for monitoring the air pressure inside the waterproof housing is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing, and a sealing component for sealing the inside of the waterproof housing is provided on the other side of the waterproof housing. The monitoring component includes a barometric pressure sensor and a data transmitter. The barometric pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing, and the data transmitter is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing. The sealing assembly includes a monitoring head, a first sealing ring, and a waterproof coating. The monitoring head is inserted into the other side of the waterproof housing and penetrates the surface of the waterproof housing. The first sealing ring is inserted into the other side of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing and wraps around the monitoring head. A waterproof coating is applied between the other side of the waterproof housing and the connection between the monitoring head and the monitoring head.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a floating seat is provided at the bottom of the waterproof shell, and an opening is provided on the surface of the floating seat for the insertion of a traction rope.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the top of the floating seat, and the mounting base has four first mounting holes on its top.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a base is also fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base, and four mounting plates are fixedly connected around the periphery of the base.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] Reference Figure 1-4 A water level monitoring device with a protective structure includes a waterproof housing 1, a monitoring component 2 for monitoring the air pressure inside the waterproof housing 1 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing 1, and a sealing component 3 for sealing the inside of the waterproof housing 1 is provided on the other side of the waterproof housing 1. Monitoring component 2 includes a pressure sensor 4 and a data transmitter 5. The pressure sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing 1, and the data transmitter 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing 1. The sealing assembly 3 includes a monitoring head 6, a first sealing ring 7, and a waterproof coating 8. The monitoring head 6 is inserted into the other side of the waterproof housing 1 and penetrates the surface of the waterproof housing 1. The first sealing ring 7 is inserted into the other side of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing 1 and wraps around the monitoring head 6. A waterproof coating 8 is applied between the other side of the waterproof housing 1 and the connection between the monitoring head 6 and the monitoring head 6. Specifically, the pressure sensor 4 is a high-precision diffused silicon type, and its detection end faces the center of the inner cavity of the waterproof housing 1. It can capture subtle changes in the air pressure inside the cavity in real time. When the waterproof housing 1 experiences a sealing failure (such as...), the sensor will detect the changes. When the first sealing ring 7 ages or the coating is damaged, external moisture seeps in, causing fluctuations in the air pressure inside the cavity. The air pressure sensor 4 can quickly identify this change and convert it into an electrical signal, making it convenient for staff to perform maintenance and replacement. The first sealing ring 7 is made of aging-resistant fluororubber material, which can tightly fit the gap between the monitoring head 6 and the waterproof housing 1, preventing water from seeping in through the penetration point. The waterproof coating 8 uses room temperature curing epoxy waterproof adhesive, which forms a continuous sealing film after coating, further strengthening the waterproof performance of the connection and improving the resistance to moisture and corrosive substances in the environment.

[0018] Furthermore, a float seat 10 is provided at the bottom of the waterproof housing 1. The surface of the float seat 10 has an opening 11 for the insertion of a traction rope. Specifically, the float seat 10 enables the device to float stably on the water surface to adapt to dynamic water level monitoring scenarios. Furthermore, a mounting base 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the floating seat 10. The top of the mounting base 12 has four first mounting holes 13. Specifically, the mounting base 12 is made of metal and is treated with anti-corrosion. Its flatness is precisely machined to ensure the stability during subsequent component assembly and to avoid deviation in the sealing gap between the waterproof shell 1 and the base 14 due to uneven mounting surface.

[0019] Furthermore, a base 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 12, and four mounting plates 15 are fixedly connected around the base 14. Each of the four mounting plates 15 has a second mounting hole 16 on its surface. A first fastening bolt 17 is detachably connected between the second mounting hole 16 and the first mounting hole 13. Specifically, the mounting plate 15 and the base 14 are integrally formed, which improves the overall load-bearing capacity.

[0020] Furthermore, a second sealing ring 18 is fitted on the outside of the base 14, and the waterproof housing 1 is inserted into the outside of the base 14 through the second sealing ring 18. A water level monitor body 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 14, and the output end of the water level monitor body 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the monitoring head 6. Specifically, the second sealing ring 18 can simultaneously fit the outer wall of the base 14 and the inner wall of the waterproof housing 1 to form a double sealing contact surface. Compared with ordinary flat gasket sealing rings, the sealing area is larger and the water-proof effect is better.

[0021] Furthermore, the waterproof housing 1 and the base 14 are detachably connected by the second fastening bolt 9. Specifically, the detachable design of the second fastening bolt 9 allows workers to easily open the waterproof housing 1 to inspect or calibrate internal components such as the air pressure sensor 4 and the data transmitter 5 without the need for a complete disassembly device.

[0022] In summary: the waterproof housing 1 serves as the core load-bearing structure, while the internal monitoring component 2 and the external sealing component 3 form an early warning protection system. The air pressure sensor 4 captures changes in air pressure inside the housing in real time. If water vapor seeps in due to the failure of the sealing component 3 (such as aging of the first sealing ring 7 or damage to the waterproof coating 8), the sensor can quickly transmit the signal to the data transmitter 5 via a shielded wire, and then the wireless module remotely sends an early warning. The micro voltage regulator module ensures the accuracy of this monitoring process through stable power supply, and the thermally conductive silicone pad prevents the module from decaying at high temperatures. In the sealing system, the first sealing ring 7 fits the gap between the monitoring head 6 and the waterproof housing 1, and the second sealing ring 18 seals the base 14 and the waterproof housing 1. Together with the waterproof coating 8, they form multiple physical barriers to block the path of water seepage. At the same time, the base 14 and the mounting seat 12 are detachably connected by the first fastening bolt 17. The flatness of the mounting seat 12 ensures accurate sealing gaps. The floating seat 10 provides buoyancy with its high-density material, and the smooth design of the opening 11 protects the traction rope, ensuring stable floating of the device and facilitating operation and maintenance. Each component has a clear division of labor and interconnected principles, which not only enables long-term stable operation in humid environments, but also ensures the continuity of water level data collection and the convenience of operation and maintenance through intelligent monitoring and modular design.

[0023] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
