Precision monitoring system of arc gate inclinometer: The posture guardian of water conservancy hubs

Arc gate inclinometer

The weight of a thousand-pound deviation of 0.1°
The slight change in the inclination Angle of the arc-shaped gate conceals a danger:

  • The hinge settles at 0.5°It may lead to the failure of the gate seal, with a leakage rate exceeding 300 liters per second.
  • Temperature deformation differenceA temperature difference of 40℃ in summer causes metal deformation, which is equivalent to an 8-cm deviation at the end of a 10-meter-span arc door.
  • Limitations of traditional detection​:
    The accuracy of the bubble level is only ±0.5°
    The electronic inclinometer drifts due to electromagnetic interference
    Manual measurement cannot capture dynamic deformation

Ii. Core Breakthrough of the System: Micro-radio-level perception
Monitoring solution specially developed for arc gate characteristics:

  • Three-axis synchronous monitoring​:
    ● X/Y axis inclination accuracy: ±0.01° (equivalent to a displacement error of less than 1mm at the end of a 10-meter arc gate)
    ● Z-axis torsion monitoring: Laser interference detection of torsion deformation (accuracy ±0.005°)
  • Intelligent early warning mechanism​:
    Level 1 Warning: A 0.1° tilt deviation will trigger an audible and visual alarm after 5 minutes
    ▶ Secondary intervention: Automatically lock the hydraulic system when the offset exceeds 0.5°
    ▶ Level 3 protection: Emergency closing when sudden deformation exceeds 1° is detected
