Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring water level and flow velocity of railway flood control bridges, specifically to an intelligent monitoring device for water level and flow velocity of railway flood control bridges. Background Technology
[0002] Railways are a vital component of transportation, and flood-crossing bridges are structures built to span rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. Especially in flood-prone areas, the design and construction of flood-crossing bridges must consider various factors such as water flow, flood frequency, and intensity. The safety of flood-crossing bridges along railway lines is paramount, as damage can lead to serious accidents such as train derailments and overturning. Safety monitoring of railway flood-crossing bridges is closely related to traffic safety, transportation order, and efficiency, directly impacting the smooth flow of transportation and the safety of public life and property.
[0003] Currently, equipment used for measuring flow velocity and water level in the market has many problems. Common flow velocity and water level measurement devices often use ultrasonic velocimeters and ultrasonic level gauges to measure the flow velocity and cross-sectional area of channels, but these are expensive, increasing monitoring costs and placing a heavy economic burden on large-scale railway flood control bridge monitoring. Moreover, these devices mostly only allow for fixed-point measurements, failing to comprehensively acquire water flow data at different locations on the flood control bridge, thus limiting the monitoring range. More importantly, after prolonged use, ultrasonic velocimeters are affected by environmental factors (such as impurities and air bubbles in the water) and the aging of the equipment itself, resulting in a significant decrease in measurement accuracy, making it difficult to meet the long-term, accurate monitoring needs of railway flood control bridges for water level and flow velocity. If a railway flood control bridge is damaged due to abnormal water level or flow velocity, it could potentially lead to serious accidents such as train derailment and overturning, causing not only huge economic losses but also posing a serious threat to public safety and property. Therefore, we offer an intelligent monitoring device for water level and flow velocity of railway flood control bridges. Utility Model Content

A concave mounting block is installed on the left side of the mounting shell 1, and the concave mounting block has three fixing holes on the left side. The concave mounting block can be installed on the guardrail of the bridge deck through the fixing holes.
[0022] The angle adjustment assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31 and an annular plate 32. The servo motor 31 is mounted on the top of the mounting housing 1. The bottom end of the output shaft of the servo motor 31 passes through the mounting housing 1 and extends into it. A threaded rod 33 is mounted on the bottom end of the output shaft of the servo motor 31. A threaded block 34 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 33. The surface of the threaded block 34 slides in contact with the inner wall of the mounting housing 1. A moving block 35 is mounted on the right side of the threaded block 34. The left side of the moving block 35 slides in contact with the right side of the mounting housing 1. A pluggable recessed plate 36 is provided on the right side of the moving block 35. A rotary motor 37 is mounted on the bottom of the recessed plate 36. The annular plate 32 is located inside the recessed plate 36. The surface of the annular plate 32 rotates in contact with the inner wall of the recessed plate 36. The top end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 37 passes through the recessed plate 36 and extends into it, and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular plate 32.
[0023] A slot 5 is provided on the right side of the front of the movable block 35. A locking block 6 is installed on the left side of the recessed plate 36 at the position corresponding to the slot 5. The left side of the locking block 6 passes through the slot 5 and extends into it to contact the inner wall of the slot 5. A fastening bolt 7 is provided at the bottom of the movable block 35 and is threadedly connected to the locking block 6. By setting the slot 5, the locking block 6 and the fastening bolt 7, it is convenient to remove the monitoring component 4 from the angle adjustment component 3, thereby improving the space occupied by the entire monitoring device during transportation and storage, and ensuring the stability after installation.
[0024] Connecting blocks 8 are installed on the top and bottom of the right side of the mounting shell 1. The two connecting blocks 8 are fixedly connected by a slide rod 9. The moving block 35 is slidably connected to the surface of the slide rod 9. By setting the connecting blocks 8 and the slide rod 9, the stability of the moving block 35 when moving up and down is improved.
[0025] The bottom of the annular plate 32 is provided with an annular groove 10, and the bottom of the inner wall of the concave plate 36 is provided with an annular frame 11 that rotates in contact with the annular groove 10. By setting the annular groove 10 and the annular frame 11, the stability of the annular plate 32 during rotation is improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the monitoring component 4 during rotation.
[0026] The monitoring component 4 includes a connecting plate 41, which is installed on the right side of the annular plate 32. The right side of the connecting plate 41 passes through the concave plate 36 and extends to its outside. A fixing shell 42 is installed on the left side of the bottom of the connecting plate 41. A data transmission module 43 and a controller 44 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing shell 42. A radar flow velocity and water level integrated machine 45 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 41 and on the right side of the fixing shell 42. A camera 46 is installed on the right side of the bottom of the connecting plate 41. The radar flow velocity and water level integrated machine 45 and the camera 46 upload the detected signals to the server in real time through the data transmission module 43.
[0027] Camera 46 is used to observe water flow direction, swirling currents, oblique flows, driftwood, floating objects, etc. Radar velocity and water level integrated unit 45 can accurately measure water level and flow velocity. It adopts advanced radar technology, avoiding the interference problems of ultrasonic technology. Tilt sensor 2 is used to monitor the tilt angle of bridge piers and promptly detect abnormal tilting. Data transmission module 43 uses a 4G network module to upload the data collected from the front end to the server in real time. The command center is equipped with corresponding supporting software, which allows real-time viewing of the collected data from the server. The supporting software has data analysis and visualization functions, which can present the collected data intuitively in the form of charts, reports, etc., facilitating analysis and decision-making by staff.
[0028] The intelligent remote start controller 44, which utilizes Internet of Things (IoT) technology, such as an industrial-grade remote control terminal based on 4G or 5G networks, can realize remote operation of equipment. This controller 44 can receive instructions from the command center or monitoring platform, parse the instructions through the built-in microprocessor and convert them into control signals, and then start the servo motor 31 and the rotary motor 37 through the controller 44. The controller 44 is electrically connected to the servo motor 31 and the rotary motor 37.
[0029] By analyzing the images captured by camera 46 and the data collected by radar flow rate and water level integrated machine 45, it can be determined whether the equipment angle is appropriate. If the image of camera 46 is blurry or obstructed, its angle and height are adjusted. If the data of radar flow rate and water level integrated machine 45 fluctuates greatly or is abnormal, its angle and height are adjusted.
[0030] When in use, the camera 46, the radar flow velocity and water level integrated machine 45, and the tilt sensor 2 start to collect data in real time. The image data captured by the camera 46, the water level and flow velocity data measured by the radar flow velocity and water level integrated machine 45, and the bridge pier tilt angle data monitored by the tilt sensor 2 are uploaded to the server through the data transmission module 43.
[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the position monitored by the monitoring component 4, the server transmits the control signal to the controller 44. The controller 44 starts the servo motor 31 and the rotary motor 37. The servo motor 31 drives the threaded rod 33 to rotate through the output shaft. The threaded rod 33 drives the threaded block 34 to move downward. The threaded block 34 drives the concave plate 36 and the monitoring component 4 to move downward. The rotary motor 37 drives the annular plate 32 to rotate through the output shaft. The annular plate 32 drives the monitoring component 4 to rotate. The position can be adjusted to a suitable angle.
