The invention discloses a real-time runoff
sediment content measuring device and a measuring method, belonging to the technical field of measurement. The real-time runoff
sediment content measuring device comprises a measuring
barrel, a weighing sensor, a water discharging
pipe, an electric valve, a liquid-
level sensor, a controller and a processor, wherein the measuring
barrel is placed on the weighing sensor; the electric valve is arranged on the water discharging
pipe at the bottom of the
barrel; the liquid-
level sensor is arranged above the measuring barrel; the processor is connected with the weighing sensor, the electric valve and the liquid-
level sensor by the controller respectively. The measuring method comprises the steps of setting the highest and lowest water levels in the measuring barrel and the switching-on time and the switching-
off time of the electric valve; continuously guiding muddy water into the measuring barrel, measuring the height of the
water level in the measuring barrel and the weight of water in the measuring barrel, and transmitting obtained values to the processor by the controller; when the
water level rises to the highest
water level, switching on the electric valve and discharging the water in the measuring barrel; when the water level falls to the lowest water level, switching off the electric valve; and
processing obtained and set parameters by adopting the processor so as to obtain the weight of the runoff
sediment of the barrel. The real-time runoff sediment content measuring device and the measuring method disclosed by the invention have the advantages that the content of the runoff sediment with different soils can be accurately measured and online measurement can be realized.
