Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrological monitoring technology, and in particular to a fixed-point tide gauge that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as coastal engineering construction, marine disaster prevention and mitigation, shipping scheduling, and hydrological research, accurate tidal level change data is required. Traditional manual observation and float-type tide gauges suffer from insufficient accuracy, poor continuity, and susceptibility to environmental interference. Fixed-point tide gauges have emerged to address these issues. Their core operating principle is based on the hydrostatic law: water pressure is positively correlated with water depth. The instrument incorporates a high-precision pressure sensor to collect underwater pressure signals, and a temperature compensation module corrects for the influence of water temperature on pressure measurement. The data processing unit converts the pressure signal into the actual tidal level value, enabling long-term, continuous, and automated tidal level monitoring, providing reliable data support for related fields.

[0003] Patent CN216348590U discloses a portable, easy-to-install fixed-point tide gauge, including a mounting column and a tide gauge body. An adjustment groove is formed in the middle of the mounting column, and two adjustment screws are slidably connected inside the groove. One end of each adjustment screw is threaded with a locking nut, and the other end of each adjustment screw is fixedly fitted with a mounting plate. The tide gauge body is mounted on one side of the mounting plate via a fixing component, and a protective cover is mounted on one side of the mounting column via the adjustment component, with the protective cover corresponding to the tide gauge body. The advantages of this invention are: the fixing component facilitates the installation and disassembly of the tide gauge body, making operation convenient; the conical feet and striking plate can fix the mounting column in the soil, limiting its position; the mounting plate is slidably connected to the adjustment groove via the two adjustment screws, allowing adjustment of the height of the mounting plate and the tide gauge body.

[0004] However, the protective cover of the device does not provide sufficient protection for the tide gauge itself, and some parts of the structure are still exposed to the water. Aquatic organisms of different sizes can easily have an adverse effect on the stable operation of the tide gauge. At the same time, the height adjustment structure of the device is exposed to the water without protection, which reduces the service life of the device. Furthermore, the device relies on only a conical pin for positioning, which cannot guarantee the stability of the device's positioning and affects the accuracy of the tide gauge's monitoring data. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, this utility model provides a stable positioning and easy-to-install fixed-point tide level meter.

[0006] This utility model provides a conveniently installed fixed-point tide gauge, characterized in that it includes a protective shell, a striking plate, positioning pins, an upper positioning nut, a lower positioning nut, a padlock, a grid end cap, a clamping unit, and a tide gauge body. The grid end cap is movably connected to the protective shell via the padlock. The protective shell is movably connected to several positioning pins. One end of each positioning pin is fixedly connected to the striking plate, and the other end of each positioning pin is threadedly connected to the upper and lower positioning nuts. Both the upper and lower positioning nuts are movably connected to the protective shell via positioning pins. The protective shell is symmetrically fixedly connected to clamping units, and each clamping unit is movably connected to the tide gauge body.

[0007] The protective shell includes a shell, a positioning sleeve, a grid screen, connecting ribs, and a padlock plate. A padlock plate is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the shell, and a grid screen is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell. All four side walls of the shell are fixedly connected to the connecting ribs, and the connecting ribs are fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve. The positioning sleeve is movably connected to a positioning pin.

[0008] The clamping unit includes a clamping base, a spring, a clamping plate, a clamping nut, and a clamping screw. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping base, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping plate. The clamping plates are symmetrically and movably connected to both ends, and the clamping screws are threadedly connected to the clamping nuts. Two clamping plates are movably connected between the clamping screws and the clamping nuts. The two clamping plates are interference-fitted to the tide gauge body, and the two clamping bases are fixedly connected to the protective shell.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a protective shell and grid mechanism, the device completely encloses the tide gauge body while avoiding interference from most aquatic organisms, thus improving the stability of the tide gauge body during long-term operation. By setting four positioning pins, the stability of the device's positioning is improved, the risk of the tide gauge body inside the protective shell tipping over is reduced, and the accuracy and reliability of the tide gauge body's monitoring data are improved.
