Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sonde protection, in particular to a waterproof protective shell of a sonde. Background Art

[0002] A sonde is a radio telemetry instrument that rises with a sounding balloon and uses sensitive elements to directly measure atmospheric pressure, temperature and relative temperature stratification curves. A sonde is used to measure atmospheric physical parameters at different altitudes in the sky to determine meteorological elements.

[0003] The working environment of the sonde is extremely harsh, and it often faces the test of natural conditions such as wind, rain, and lightning. Although the outer shell of the sonde itself has a certain degree of waterproof performance, the protection of the internal detection components is still inadequate in severe weather, which will directly affect the detection effect.

[0004] Although some existing sonde waterproof covers can be sealed and waterproof, the sealing condition will affect the sonde's monitoring of atmospheric pressure.

[0005] In addition, the current sondes are all disposable, and at least 120 sondes are released into the country every day. The sondes contain batteries, electrical components, circuit boards, etc. If they are not handled for a long time, they will cause certain pollution to the environment at the drop point. Some original parts can be reused. If they can be recycled, the cost can be effectively reduced and the environment will not be polluted.

[0006] In this regard, there is an urgent need for a sonde protection shell that can provide the sonde with additional waterproof and ground protection while ensuring that the sonde can collect atmospheric data normally, and can also locate the sonde that has fallen to the ground. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a waterproof protective shell for a sonde, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. To achieve the above purpose, the following solutions are adopted:

[0008] A waterproof protective shell of a sonde, comprising: a shell body, a cavity, a water baffle, a water guide groove, a drainage channel, an air hole, a GPS tracker and a GPS tracker installation groove, wherein a hanging ear is arranged on the top of the shell body, the middle of the shell body is a cavity, an "L"-shaped water baffle is arranged on the top of the cavity, a plurality of water guide grooves are arranged on the inner wall of the shell body above the water baffle, a plurality of air holes are arranged on the outer wall of the shell body, a plurality of drainage channels are arranged in the side wall of the shell body vertically penetrating to the bottom of the side wall of the shell, the top of each drainage channel is connected to the water guide groove, and each drainage channel penetrates the air hole on the vertical path, the GPS tracker installation groove is located in the outer wall of the shell body, and the opening faces the cavity, and the GPS tracker is installed in the GPS tracker installation groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the shell body and the water baffle are made of EPU foam plastic in one piece.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the air hole close to the cavity is higher than one end close to the outer wall of the shell body.

[0011] Furthermore, the GPS tracker is a GPS tracker with its own power supply.

[0012] Furthermore, vertically extending buckles are provided on both sides of the water baffle.

[0013] Furthermore, buckle grooves are provided at the tops of the side walls on both sides of the shell body.

[0014] Furthermore, the water baffle is connected to the inner wall of the housing body through a buckle and a buckle groove.

[0015] Place the sonde in the cavity, insert the water baffle into the cavity, fasten the buckle of the water baffle with the buckle groove on the inner wall of the shell body, then tie the sounding balloon to the hanging ear of the shell body, release the sonde, and when the sonde flies upward, the external airflow enters the protective shell from the air hole, so that the sonde can accurately collect atmospheric data, and the water on the protective shell enters the drainage channel through the water guide groove, and finally flows out from the bottom of the shell body.

[0016] When the sounding balloon rises to a certain height and breaks, the sonde falls freely. The outer shell protects the sonde from damage. At the same time, the GPS tracker inside it sends location information to the terminal to facilitate staff to retrieve it.

[0017] Advantages of the utility model

[0018] (1) The shell body of the utility model is made of EPU foam plastic in one piece. Due to its light weight, it will not increase the burden of the meteorological balloon when it is launched, and can play a good buffering and protective role during the landing of the sounding instrument, thereby increasing the recovery rate.

[0019] (2) The utility model adopts a rainproof drainage system formed by a water retaining plate, a water guide groove and a drainage channel to effectively prevent rainwater from entering the sonde during detection and causing circuit short circuit and other faults, and at the same time, it will not increase the burden of the weather balloon due to water accumulation.

[0020] (3) The utility model has a GPS tracker installed in the shell body, which is convenient for recovery personnel to track the sonde and effectively recover the radiosonde to avoid waste of resources and pollution.

[0021] (4) The shell body of the utility model is provided with air holes inclined downward, which can prevent the sonde from being in a closed environment and also prevent rainwater from flowing back into the shell body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
