Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring equipment technology, specifically to a steel ruler water level gauge probe structure with visualization function. Background Technology

[0002] Steel tape level gauges offer the most accurate method for measuring water levels and are commonly used in wells, boreholes, and water level pipes. They are particularly suitable for groundwater level observation in hydropower projects or for manual inspection of the phreatic line of earth-rock dams. Steel tape level gauges can be used during construction as well as for long-term safety monitoring of projects.

[0003] The utility model application with application number CN202122734544.9 discloses a steel ruler water level gauge. The probe of the water level gauge is cylindrical, and the lower end of the probe is conical. The lower part of the probe is provided with a through hole along the radial direction of the probe, and the detection end inside the probe extends into the through hole. Through the design of the probe structure, the resistance during the lowering process is reduced, and it is also convenient for charging.

[0004] However, when this steel tape level gauge is used for downhole or borehole testing, the complex internal environment of the well casing or borehole and insufficient light make the probe prone to blockage or jamming by foreign objects, resulting in low testing efficiency and the risk of equipment damage. Furthermore, the gauge lacks visualization capabilities, preventing operators from observing the well's internal conditions in real time and making it difficult to predict or avoid probe malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0005] I. Technical problems to be solved This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a steel tape level gauge probe structure with visualization capabilities. By using a camera and supplementary lighting installed in the probe, it can effectively detect potential obstacles and malfunctions encountered by the probe in low-light conditions such as downhole or borehole drilling, and can also better prevent collisions during the probe's descent.

[0006] II. Specific Technical Solutions A steel tape level gauge probe structure with visualization function includes a base and a reel mounted on the base. A steel tape cable is wound on the reel, and a detection probe is provided at the end of the steel tape cable. A sensing probe is provided at the bottom of the detection probe, and a camera is detachably connected to the sensing probe. A supplementary light is also provided on the outside of the camera. The detection probe is electrically connected to a display component.

[0007] Implementation principle and working principle: In practical use, this solution enables the winding and unwinding of steel tape cables with detection probes via the reel's winding and unwinding mechanism. When the sensing probe comes into contact with water, it activates the circuit and transmits the signal to the display component. The reading of the steel tape cable at this time is then read. With the cooperation of a camera and supplementary light mounted on the sensing probe, an image of the bottom of the detection probe can be quickly acquired during the unwinding process, preventing malfunctions or damage to the detection probe caused by collisions. Furthermore, the camera is detachable, making maintenance and replacement simple and convenient.

[0008] Preferably, a protective sleeve is provided around the outer perimeter of the sensing probe, and the protective sleeve is detachably connected to the bottom of the detection probe.

The advantage of this preferred embodiment is that, through the cooperation of the main water inlet and the side water inlets, the water on the surface to be tested can better contact the sensing probe, ensuring that the detection accuracy is not affected.

[0010] Preferably, the base is provided with a mounting shaft, and the scroll is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft; one side of the mounting shaft is used for mounting a display component, which includes a control screen and a warning light; the advantage of this preferred embodiment is that the image acquired by the camera can be seen intuitively through the control screen, and the warning light can be used to quickly determine whether the detection probe is in contact with the liquid surface to be tested, which is simple and fast.

[0011] Preferably, mounting seats are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the reel, and mounting ears are rotatably connected to the mounting seats. A guide shaft is provided at the other end of the mounting ears, and the two ends of the guide shaft are respectively connected to the mounting ears on the corresponding sides. A guide roller is sleeved on the guide shaft. The beneficial effect of this preferred embodiment is that the arrangement of the guide shaft and the guide roller facilitates the guidance of the steel tape cable during unwinding and rewinding, making the unwinding and rewinding of the steel tape cable smoother.

[0012] Preferably, the steel ruler cable has wires on both sides, which are electrically connected to the camera, the sensing probe and the supplementary light respectively. The advantage of this preferred option is that by connecting the wires to the camera, the sensing probe and the supplementary light respectively, the utilization rate of the wires is better and the connection is more convenient.

[0013] Preferably, the display component is one or more of a mobile phone, tablet, or mobile computer; the advantage of this preferred method is that by using one or more of a mobile phone, tablet, or mobile computer as the display component, it is more convenient to observe the images acquired by the detection probe.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The solution incorporates a camera and supplementary lighting into the detection probe, making it well-suited for downhole detection or drilling operations in low-light conditions, thus preventing probe malfunctions caused by collisions.

[0015] 2. By setting up the protective sleeve, water can be made to come into contact with the detection probe smoothly, while the collision during the descent of the detection probe can be better avoided, thus effectively maintaining the detection effect of the detection probe.

[0016] 3. The installation of the rotating ear connection setting allows for adjustment of the guide shaft angle, which can better ensure the unwinding and rewinding effect of the steel ruler cable. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown: A steel ruler water level gauge probe structure with visualization function includes a base 1 and a reel 2 mounted on the base 1. Specifically, a steel ruler cable 3 is wound on the reel 2, and a detection probe 4 is detachably mounted on the free end of the steel ruler cable 3. The other end of the detection probe 4 is a sensing probe 5, and a camera 6 is detachably connected to the sensing probe 5 by a snap or thread. A supplementary light 7 is also attached to the outer circumference of the camera 6 by adhesive or snap, etc. The supplementary light 7 provides supplementary lighting for the camera 6 in low light conditions to ensure smooth image acquisition. The camera 6 can be a waterproof endoscope, which has better waterproof effect and service life. Specifically, the detection probe 4 is connected to a display component 8 through wires, wireless networks, or wired networks. The display component 8 can intuitively display the image acquired by the camera 6, avoiding collisions or obstructions to the detection probe.

[0022] In order to further prevent collisions with the detection probe 4 and extend its service life, a protective cylinder 9 is provided around the outer side of the sensing probe 5. Specifically, the outer shell of the detection probe 4 is provided with external threads, and the protective cylinder 9 is provided with internal threads. The protective cylinder 9 and the sensing probe are connected by threads to achieve a detachable connection, which is simple and convenient. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the water surface to be tested can better contact the sensing probe 5 and ensure that the detection accuracy is not affected, a main water inlet hole 10 is provided at the bottom of the protective cylinder 9. Several side water inlets 11 are evenly spaced around the outer side of the protective cylinder 9.

[0023] During implementation, a mounting shaft 12 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and a roller 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 12 via a bearing; a display component 8 is detachably installed on one side of the mounting shaft 12 by means of bonding, snap-fit, etc. The display component 8 includes a control screen 13 and a warning light 14 at the bottom of the control screen; through the control screen 13, the image acquired by the camera 6 can be seen intuitively, and through the setting of the warning light 14, it is possible to quickly determine whether the detection probe 4 is in contact with the liquid surface to be tested, which is simple and fast.

[0024] In implementation, to facilitate the unwinding and rewinding of the steel tape cable 3 and make the unwinding and rewinding of the steel tape cable 3 smoother, mounting seats 15 are symmetrically welded or bolted to both ends of the reel 2. Mounting ears 16 are hinged on the mounting seats 15. One end of the mounting ears 16 can rotate around the mounting seat 15, and the other end of the mounting ears 16 is threaded to the guide shaft 17. The two ends of the guide shaft 17 are detachably connected to the mounting ears 16 on the corresponding sides. The guide shaft 17 is connected to the guide roller 18 through the bearing. The rotation of the guide roller 18 can better drive the unwinding and rewinding of the steel tape cable 3. In specific implementation, a speed sensor or Hall sensor can also be set on one side of the guide roller 18 to detect the rotation speed of the guide roller 18, thereby obtaining the release speed and length of the steel tape cable 3. The water level height can be directly displayed in the display component 8 connected to the speed sensor or Hall sensor, which is simple and convenient.

[0025] During implementation, wires 19 are installed on both sides of the steel ruler cable 3, and the wires 19 are electrically connected to the camera 6, the sensing probe 5 and the supplementary light 7 respectively. By connecting the wires 19 to the camera 6, the sensing probe 5 and the supplementary light 7 respectively, the utilization rate of the wires is better and the connection is more convenient. Specifically, the display component 8 can be one or more of mobile phones, tablets, and mobile computers. Using one or more of mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets and mobile computers as display components makes it more convenient to observe the images acquired by the detection probe.

[0026] Working principle: In practical use, this solution enables the winding and unwinding of the steel ruler cable 3 with the detection probe 4 through the winding and unwinding of the reel 2. When the sensing probe 5 comes into contact with water, it will connect the circuit and transmit the signal to the display component 8. Then, the reading of the steel ruler cable 3 at this time will be read. With the cooperation of the camera 6 and the supplementary light 7 set on the sensing probe 5, the image of the bottom of the detection probe 4 during the detection and unwinding can be quickly obtained, avoiding malfunctions or damage to the detection probe 4 caused by collision. At the same time, the camera 6 is detachable and easy to maintain and replace.
