Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of airflow detection technology, and in particular to an anemometer with an electrically self-balancing integrated obstruction light. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, wind speed measurement technology is also constantly improving. In crane operations, accurate wind speed data can ensure the safety and stability of operations, avoid dangers caused by excessive wind speed, and provide key data support for industries such as crane operations, helping relevant departments to make scientific decisions.

[0003] In existing technologies, wind speed is mainly measured using anemometers. Anemometers generally consist of components such as a wind cup and a sensor. The wind cup rotates under the influence of wind, which in turn drives the sensor to work, converting wind speed information into an electrical signal output. For installation and fixation, simple bolt connections are commonly used to secure the anemometer to external equipment. Some anemometers may also be equipped with independent obstruction lights to indicate their operational status. These obstruction lights are usually installed at a high location or in a dangerous area, using flashing lights to alert people.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, in actual crane operation scenarios, the angle of the crane boom is in a dynamic state of change. When the crane boom performs different pitching and rotation operations, its angle with the ground constantly changes. Due to the continuous change in the crane boom angle, the anemometer installed on the crane boom cannot always maintain a parallel state with the ground. The wind speed measured is no longer a simple horizontal wind speed, resulting in a deviation between the data obtained by the anemometer and the actual horizontal wind speed, and thus failing to accurately reflect the true wind speed conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the accuracy of anemometer measurements, this application provides an anemometer with an electrically self-balancing integrated obstruction light.

[0006] This application provides an anemometer with an electric self-balancing integrated obstruction light, which adopts the following technical solution: An anemometer for an electrically self-balancing integrated obstruction light includes a base with a hollow interior. A fixed shaft passes through the base and is rotatably connected to it, rotating in the same direction as the lifting motion of a crane. The end of the fixed shaft is connected to external equipment and is fixed to support the base. A leveling component is located inside the base, which continuously monitors the tilt of the device. When the base tilts relative to the horizontal plane, the leveling component drives the base to rotate relative to the fixed shaft until it is level. The base has a wind measurement module and an obstruction light module arranged vertically from top to bottom. The obstruction light module is used to mark obstacles that threaten the safe flight of aircraft, reducing the probability of collisions. The wind measurement module is used to detect wind speed.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper part of the base is equipped with an obstruction light module and a wind measurement module. The obstruction light module can effectively mark obstacles in the aircraft's flight path, reducing the risk of collision between the aircraft and obstacles and ensuring flight safety. The wind measurement module can accurately monitor the ambient wind speed in real time, providing reliable data support for high-altitude operations and equipment operation safety. Integrating warning and wind speed detection functions into one unit reduces the space occupied by the equipment. The leveling component detects the tilt status of the device in real time. When the external equipment tilts due to operational needs or environmental influences, the leveling component automatically adjusts the device to a horizontal state, reducing problems such as wind measurement data distortion and obstruction light illumination angle deviation caused by equipment tilt, and improving the accuracy of measurement results.

[0008] Optionally, the leveling component includes a worm gear, a worm, and a drive component. The worm gear is located inside the base, and a fixed shaft passes through the worm gear and is coaxially fixed with the worm gear. The worm is rotatably connected inside the base and meshes with the worm gear. The drive component is located inside the base and is used to drive the worm to rotate. The base is equipped with a detection component for detecting the horizontal angle of the base, and the detection component controls the operation of the drive component based on the detection result.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the fixed shaft to rotate. Since the fixed shaft is connected to the external equipment, the torque generated by the driving component is insufficient to drive the external equipment to rotate, thus driving the driving component to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the driving component drives the base to rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the equipment angle and keeping the device always parallel to the ground. This allows the wind measurement module to accurately measure the wind speed and improves the accuracy of the device's measurement results.

[0010] Optionally, the detection component is a tilt sensor, and a control board is fixed inside the base. The tilt sensor is fixed inside the control board and is electrically connected to the drive component. The tilt sensor controls the operation of the drive component based on the detection result.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the tilt sensor can continuously and accurately detect the angle information of the device. Regardless of whether the device changes angle due to external factors or its own working requirements, the electrical connection between the tilt sensor and the drive component allows the drive component to rotate the device based on the angle data fed back by the tilt sensor, so that the device can automatically adjust the angle to meet the preset angle requirements, thereby improving the ease of use of the device.

[0012] Optionally, the upper end of the worm is provided with a guide shell magnet, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base. A magnetic yoke is fixedly installed inside the guide shell magnet, and an armature is installed inside the guide shell magnet. The armature is slidably connected to the guide shell magnet along the vertical direction. When the magnetic yoke is working, it generates a magnetic field that drives the armature away from the worm. A friction plate is provided on the side of the armature close to the worm.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the magnetic yoke generates a magnetic field during operation, compressing the elastic element and preventing the friction plate from contacting the worm, allowing the worm to rotate normally. Once the base is leveled and reaches a horizontal state, the magnetic yoke stops working, the magnetic field disappears, and the armature slides vertically downwards under the action of the elastic element, approaching the worm until the friction plate on the armature is in close contact with the worm. The frictional force generated between the friction plate and the worm effectively hinders the rotation of the worm, achieving braking and limiting of the worm.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom of the base is provided with circumferentially radially distributed heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins form equally spaced heat dissipation air channels.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the circumferentially radially distributed heat dissipation fins increase the heat dissipation area at the bottom of the base, and the equally spaced heat dissipation air ducts provide a smooth channel for airflow. When the air flows through the heat dissipation air ducts, it will have sufficient heat exchange with the heat dissipation fins, enabling the equipment to operate stably under high temperature conditions.

[0016] Optionally, the wind measurement module includes a wind cup holder, several wind cups, and a wind speed sensor. The upper end of the obstruction light module is equipped with a mounting base. The wind cup holder is located inside the mounting base and is vertically arranged. The wind cup holder is rotatably connected to the mounting base around its own axis. Several wind cups are fixed to the upper end of the wind cup holder and are evenly distributed around the circumference of the wind cup holder to capture wind energy and drive the wind cup holder to rotate. The wind speed sensor is located inside the mounting base and connected to the wind cup holder. The wind speed sensor detects the external wind speed based on the rotation speed of the wind cup holder.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the wind cups are evenly distributed around the circumference of the wind cup support. This layout allows the wind cups to uniformly sense wind force from all directions. When the wind blows, it can accurately reflect the wind speed regardless of the wind direction. The wind cup support is inserted into the wind speed sensor, so that the rotation of the wind cups can be directly and stably transmitted to the wind speed sensor, improving the stability of the device.

[0018] Optionally, a turbulence ring is fixed on the mounting base, the wind cup is located inside the turbulence ring, and the surface of the turbulence ring has several turbulence grooves, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the turbulence ring.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the airflow passes through the anemometer, the turbulence ring can initially block and guide the turbulent flow around the wind cup. The turbulence grooves, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turbulence ring, can further sort and rectify the airflow, effectively dispersing the local eddies and turbulence formed by the airflow around the mounting base and the turbulence ring. This allows the airflow to flow evenly and smoothly along the circumference of the turbulence ring towards the rotating area of ​​the wind cup, ensuring the uniformity of the flow and the stability of the force on the wind cup, reducing the deviation of the wind cup's rotational angular velocity caused by airflow disturbance, and improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0020] Optionally, the mounting base is equipped with a heating element, and a wind turbine is provided on one side of the mounting base. The wind turbine converts wind energy into electrical energy and continuously supplies power to the heating element.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the wind turbine converts wind energy into electrical energy and continuously supplies power to the heating element. It can achieve self-powered heating without an external power source, reducing problems such as jamming and detection failure of components such as the wind cup support due to frost and ice formation in low temperature and high humidity environments, and improving the stability of the device.

[0022] Optionally, the wind measurement module includes a wind vane, and the upper end of the obstruction light module is provided with a connecting seat. The connecting seat is detachably connected to the obstruction light module, and the wind vane is fixed to the upper end of the connecting seat.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the wind vane can indicate wind direction in real time and provide wind direction data, providing a more comprehensive wind environment reference for scenarios such as aircraft flight, meteorological monitoring, and outdoor operations, thereby improving the practicality of the device; the detachable connection between the connector and the obstruction light functional module facilitates the installation, disassembly, and replacement of the wind measurement functional module, improving the ease of use of the device.

[0024] Optionally, the leveling component includes a counterweight located at the lower end of the base. The counterweight is detachably connected to the base, and in its natural state, the counterweight lowers the overall center of gravity of the device.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, when the device tilts due to external wind impact or other factors, the counterweight itself will generate a restoring torque, which will act directly on the fixed shaft, push the fixed shaft to rotate around its own axis, drive the base and the upper functional modules to rotate synchronously, offset the tilt angle, enable the device to quickly restore and maintain a horizontal state, achieve self-balance, and improve the convenience of using the device.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: When the external equipment tilts due to operational needs or environmental influences, the drive component drives the worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the fixed shaft to rotate. Since the fixed shaft is connected to the external equipment, the torque generated by the drive component is insufficient to drive the external equipment to rotate, thus driving the drive component to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the drive component drives the base to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the equipment and keeping the device always parallel to the ground. This allows the wind measurement module to accurately measure the wind speed and improves the accuracy of the device's measurement results. When air flows through the cooling duct, it will have sufficient heat exchange with the cooling fins, enabling the equipment to operate stably under high temperature conditions; When the yoke stops working and the magnetic field disappears, the armature slides vertically downwards under the action of the elastic element, approaching the worm, until the friction plate on the armature is in close contact with the worm. The friction force generated between the friction plate and the worm effectively resists the rotation of the worm, achieving braking and limiting of the worm.

[0027] The wind measurement module is located above the obstruction light module, its installation position higher than the light-emitting plane of the obstruction light. This effectively reduces the obstruction of the obstruction light's light-emitting area by the wind measurement module, eliminating local blind spots. Furthermore, the wind measurement module is situated at the very top of the entire structure, in an unobstructed open space, ensuring that it does not impede airflow around it. This allows airflow to act smoothly and evenly on the wind measurement module, improving the device's practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.

[0038] This application discloses an anemometer for an electrically self-balancing integrated obstacle light.

[0039] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An electric self-balancing integrated obstruction light anemometer includes a base 1. An obstruction light functional module 2 is fixed to the upper end of the base 1. The obstruction light functional module 2 includes a lampshade 21 and several obstruction lights. The lampshade 21 is fixed to the upper end of the base 1, and the obstruction lights are fixed inside the lampshade 21. The obstruction lights emit red light to warn of the working status of external equipment. A wind measurement functional module 3 is fixed to the upper end of the obstruction light functional module 2, forming a vertically layered layout of the obstruction light functional module 2 and the wind measurement functional module 3. This completely changes the traditional method of arranging the two types of equipment at the same height. The wind measurement functional module 3 is located above the obstruction light functional module 2, and its installation position is higher than the light-emitting plane of the obstruction lights, effectively reducing the obstruction of the light-emitting area of ​​the obstruction lights by the wind measurement functional module 3 and eliminating local blind spots. On the other hand, the wind measurement functional module 3 is located at the top of the entire structure, in an unobstructed open space, which does not obstruct the airflow around the wind measurement functional module 3. The airflow can act smoothly and evenly on the wind measurement functional module 3, improving the practicality of the device.

[0040] The wind measurement module 3 includes a wind cup bracket 31, several wind cups 33, and a wind speed sensor 34. The upper end of the lamp cover 21 is provided with a mounting base 32. The mounting base 32 is detachably connected to the lamp cover 21 through a threaded connector, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement of the wind measurement module 3. The wind cup bracket 31 is located inside the mounting base 32. The wind cup bracket 31 is set vertically and is rotatably connected to the mounting base 32. Several wind cups 33 are fixed to the upper end of the wind cup bracket 31 and are evenly distributed around the circumference of the wind cup bracket 31, so that the wind cups 33 can uniformly sense the wind force from all directions.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2When the wind blows, it can accurately reflect the wind speed regardless of the wind direction. The wind speed sensor 34 is located in the mounting base 32, and the end of the wind cup bracket 31 away from the wind cup 33 is inserted into the wind speed sensor 34. The wind blows and the wind cup 33 rotates, which drives the wind cup bracket 31 to rotate. The rotation of the wind cup bracket 31 allows the wind speed sensor 34 to directly detect the wind speed, improving the stability of the device.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 1 is hollow and contains a worm gear 13. One end of the worm gear 13 is equipped with a drive component, which is a motor 11. The output shaft of the motor 11 is coaxially fixed with the worm gear 13. When the angle of the device needs to be adjusted, the motor 11 starts and drives the worm gear 13 to rotate. The upper end of the base 1 is equipped with a fixed shaft 4, which passes through the base 1 and is rotatably connected to the base 1. The base 1 contains a worm wheel 12, which is coaxially fixed with the fixed shaft 4. The worm gear 13 meshes with the worm wheel 12. The rotation of the worm gear 13 drives the worm wheel 12 to rotate, and the rotation of the worm wheel 12 drives the fixed shaft 4 to rotate.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixed shaft 4 is detachably connected to the external equipment. Since the torque generated by the motor 11 is insufficient to drive the external equipment to rotate, according to Newton's third law, the action and reaction forces between two interacting objects are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thus driving the drive component to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the drive component drives the base 1 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the equipment and keeping the device parallel to the ground. This allows the wind measurement module 3 to accurately measure the wind speed, improving the accuracy of the measurement results.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 A control plate 14 is fixedly installed inside the base 1, and a tilt sensor 141 is fixedly installed inside the control plate 14. The control plate 14 supports the tilt sensor 141. The tilt sensor 141 can continuously and accurately detect the angle information of the device. Regardless of whether the device changes angle due to external factors or its own working needs, the tilt sensor 141 is electrically connected to the motor 11. Based on the angle data fed back by the tilt sensor 141, the drive component drives the device to rotate, so that the device automatically adjusts the angle to achieve the preset angle requirement, thereby improving the convenience of using the device.

[0045] Reference Figure 1The base 1 has circumferentially radially distributed heat dissipation fins 15 at its bottom. These circumferentially radially distributed fins 15 increase the heat dissipation area at the bottom of the base 1. The fins 15 form equally spaced heat dissipation channels, providing smooth airflow. After the heat dissipation fins 15 conduct heat to the surface, the air flowing through the channels carries away the heat, forming an efficient heat dissipation cycle. This rapid heat dissipation capability enables the equipment to operate stably in high-temperature environments.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 The fixed shaft 4 extends to the outer side of the base 1 at both ends to form a flat fixing part. Bolt connection holes 41 are provided on the surface of the flat fixing part, providing clear connection points for equipment installation. When the device needs to be connected to external equipment, bolts are used to thread the bolts through the connection holes to the external equipment, facilitating connection and allowing for easy replacement of the connection position. This adapts to various application scenarios and improves the versatility and flexibility of the device. The large contact area of ​​the flat fixing part better disperses connection stress, reduces local stress concentration, improves the fatigue resistance of the equipment connection parts, and ensures stable operation of the equipment.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper end of the worm gear 13 is provided with a guide shell magnet 5, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the base 1. A magnetic yoke 51 is fixed inside the guide shell magnet 5, and a coil is wound on the surface of the magnetic yoke 51. An armature 52 is provided inside the guide shell magnet 5, and the armature 52 is slidably connected to the guide shell magnet 5 vertically. An elastic element 53, which is a spring, is fixed between the magnetic yoke 51 and the armature 52. A friction plate 54 is fixed on the side of the armature 52 near the worm gear 13. When the coil is energized, the magnetic yoke 51 generates a magnetic field, and the elastic element 53 is compressed. At this time, the friction plate 54 is not in contact with the worm gear 13, and the worm gear 13 rotates. When the coil is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears, and the elastic element 53 immediately pushes the armature 52 closer to the worm gear 13 by its own elastic force, so that the friction plate 54 on the armature 52 is in close contact with the worm gear 13, generating friction force, thereby achieving rapid braking.

[0048] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: When the wind measurement module 3 is not parallel to the ground, the driving component drives the worm gear 13 to rotate, the worm gear 13 rotates, and the worm wheel 12 rotates, thereby driving the fixed shaft 4 to rotate. The fixed shaft 4 is connected to the external equipment. Since the torque generated by the driving component is insufficient to drive the external equipment to rotate, according to Newton's third law, the action force and reaction force between two interacting objects are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thereby driving the driving component to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotation of the driving component drives the base 1 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the device, so that the wind measurement module 3 is always parallel to the ground, reducing the deviation in wind speed measurement and improving the accuracy of the device's measurement results.

[0049] Example 2: Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: a turbulence ring 6 is fixed on the mounting base 32, and the wind cup 33 is located inside the turbulence ring 6. Several interference grooves are opened on the surface of the turbulence ring 6. The interference grooves are evenly distributed around the circumference of the turbulence ring 6. When the airflow passes through the anemometer, the turbulence ring 6 can first block and guide the turbulent flow around the wind cup 33. The turbulence grooves evenly distributed around the circumference of the turbulence ring 6 can further sort and rectify the airflow, effectively dispersing the local vortices and turbulence formed by the airflow around the mounting base 32 and the turbulence ring 6. This allows the airflow to flow evenly and smoothly around the circumference of the turbulence ring 6 to the rotation area of ​​the wind cup 33, ensuring the uniformity of the flow received by the wind cup 33 and the stability of the force, reducing the deviation of the rotational angular velocity of the wind cup 33 caused by airflow disturbance, and improving the accuracy of detection.

[0050] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting base 32 is equipped with a heating element 61, and a wind turbine 62 is provided on one side of the mounting base 32. The wind turbine 62 converts wind energy into electrical energy. The heating element 61 generates stable heat under the continuous power supply of the wind turbine 62. The heat can be quickly conducted to key components such as the wind cup support 31, which can effectively increase the surface temperature of the components and reduce problems such as jamming and detection failure caused by frost and ice on the wind cup support 31 and other components in low temperature and high humidity environments, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0051] Example 3: Reference Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the wind measurement module 3 includes a wind vane 36, and the obstruction light module 2 has a connecting seat 35 at its upper end. The wind vane 36 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting seat 35. The tail of the wind vane 36 has a wind-facing blade, and the head has a directional indicator. When there is wind, the wind-facing blade will drive the wind vane 36 to rotate until the directional indicator at the head is accurately aligned with the direction of the wind, thus indicating the wind direction in real time and accurately. Simultaneously, the wind direction signal is transmitted to the device control system, realizing the real-time acquisition and output of wind direction data. The wind vane 36 can indicate the wind direction in real time, providing a more comprehensive wind environment reference for scenarios such as aircraft flight, meteorological monitoring, and outdoor operations, improving the practicality of the device. The connecting seat 35 and the obstruction light module 2 are detachably connected by a threaded connector, which facilitates the replacement of different wind measurement modules 3 for wind direction or wind speed measurement according to different usage conditions, improving the convenience of using the device.

[0052] Reference Figure 8The lower end of the base 1 is provided with a counterweight 16, which is detachably connected to the base 1. When the device tilts due to external wind impact or other factors, the counterweight 16 will immediately generate a restoring torque pointing the device to a horizontal state by its own weight. This restoring torque does not require additional power to drive it and directly acts on the fixed shaft 4 that is rotatably connected to the base 1, forming a continuous and stable pushing force on the fixed shaft 4. This pushes the fixed shaft 4 to rotate precisely around its own axis, causing the base 1 and the upper functional modules to rotate synchronously, offsetting the tilt angle and keeping the device in a stable horizontal posture. This achieves the self-balancing function of the device and improves the convenience of using the device.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
