Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tree runoff measurement pipeline technology, and in particular to a pipeline for a tree runoff measuring instrument. Background Technology

[0002] The piping used for tree runoff measurement is the key channel for collecting and transporting sample water in the entire system, and its material selection and installation directly determine the reliability of the data. The piping system is typically divided into two parts: collection and diversion. The annular collection trough (commonly made of corrosion-resistant, non-polluting stainless steel or Teflon-coated metal) installed close to the tree trunk is the starting point. Its design must be able to tightly and seamlessly wrap around the trunk and be coated with flexible sealant to ensure complete collection of stem runoff without leakage. The main delivery pipe leading out of the collection trough outlet generally uses chemically stable high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or PVC pipes that do not absorb organic matter in the water to avoid water quality changes and prevent algae growth. The pipe diameter needs to be calculated and matched to the estimated maximum runoff volume, typically with an inner diameter between 50 and 100 mm to ensure rapid drainage without overflow during heavy rains. During installation, the pipeline must maintain a continuous and uniform downward slope. From the outlet of the collection tank to the inlet of the terminal measuring instrument (such as a tipping bucket flow meter or a volumetric water tank), the entire flow relies on gravity. Therefore, precise planning of the terrain is crucial; any "reverse slope" will cause severe water accumulation and data lag. All joints must be sealed with waterproof clamps or adhesive to prevent rainwater infiltration or sample loss. When laying the pipeline, it should be buried or covered with light-shielding materials as much as possible to reduce the growth of biofilm due to sunlight. In cold regions, insulation or even heat tracing should be considered to prevent freezing and blockage. Finally, the entire pipeline system must undergo a water injection test after installation to verify its airtightness, unobstructed flow, and flow stability, ensuring that every drop of water collected is accurately delivered to the measuring instrument.

[0003] In existing technologies, the pipes used in tree runoff meters are usually glued to the tree trunk surface with sealant. When using this method to install pipes, dust and other debris often exist on the tree trunk surface, resulting in poor stability of the glued pipes, which are prone to falling off and rendering the measuring instrument unusable. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipe for a tree runoff measuring instrument in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. This invention improves upon the problem that the pipes used in tree runoff measuring instruments are usually glued to the tree trunk surface with sealant. When using this method to install the pipe, the tree trunk surface often has dust and other debris, resulting in poor stability of the glued pipe, which is easy to fall off and renders the measuring instrument unusable.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a pipe for a tree runoff measuring instrument, comprising: Pipeline body; The first fixing component includes a first rubber plate, a second rubber plate, a fixing plate, an elastic rope, a first bolt, and a first nut. There are two of each of the second rubber plate, fixing plate, first bolt, and first nut. There are multiple elastic ropes. The first rubber plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pipe body. The two fixing plates are each located on one side of the first rubber plate. The two second rubber plates are respectively fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two fixing plates. The multiple elastic ropes are respectively fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two second rubber plates. The multiple elastic ropes are respectively fixed to both ends of the first rubber plate. The two first bolts are slidably connected to the two fixing plates. The two first nuts are respectively threaded to the circumferential surfaces of the two first bolts. The second fixing component includes a third rubber plate, elastic ropes, a fourth rubber plate, a second bolt, and a second nut. Multiple elastic ropes are provided, and two fourth rubber plates are provided. The third rubber plate is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the pipe body. Multiple elastic ropes are respectively fixedly connected to two side ends of the third rubber plate. The two fourth rubber plates are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of the multiple elastic ropes. The second bolt is slidably connected within the two fourth rubber plates, and the second nut is threadedly connected to the second bolt.

This avoids the problem of sealant falling off due to dust and impurities on the tree trunk surface. Using this device facilitates the installation of the pipe body, and the installed pipe body is highly stable and not easy to fall off.

The waterproof membrane is used to seal the location of the elastic rope to prevent rainwater from flowing out from the location of the elastic rope and improve the sealing performance of the device.
