Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of meteorological monitoring equipment technology, and in particular to a mobile meteorological radar. Background Technology

[0002] Weather radar plays a crucial role in meteorological observation and forecasting. It can detect meteorological elements in the atmosphere such as precipitation, clouds, and wind fields, providing important data support for meteorological research and disaster early warning.

[0003] Traditional weather radars are mostly fixed installations, making it difficult to flexibly conduct targeted weather monitoring in different areas. Especially in some temporary weather observation needs, special terrain areas, or emergency monitoring of sudden events, fixed weather radars cannot be quickly and effectively moved to designated locations to collect data. Vehicle-mounted weather radars are greatly limited by terrain and are relatively weak in adapting to complex terrain and rapid deployment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a mobile weather radar to solve the problem of inconvenience in moving vehicle-mounted and fixed radars.

[0005] This application provides a mobile weather radar, including a radar body, a mobile platform, crossbars, wheels, bearings, and a drive unit. The radar body is mounted on the mobile platform. There are two crossbars, spaced apart at the bottom of the mobile platform, and rotatably connected to the mobile platform. There are four wheels, each located at one end of the two crossbars, on the outside of the mobile platform, and fixedly connected to the crossbars. There are two sets of bearings, each corresponding to one of the two crossbars, positioned between the mobile platform and the crossbars. The drive unit is located at the bottom of the mobile platform and is driven by one of the crossbars.

[0006] The radar body in this application is mounted on a mobile platform. The bottom of the mobile platform is equipped with a crossbar and wheels, and a drive unit connected to the crossbar is also provided. The drive unit can drive the wheels to move, thereby moving the radar body. This method saves time and effort. At the same time, the mobile platform has a small structure, and the wheels and mobile platform are less restricted by terrain, so it can adapt to more complex terrains. In addition, the overall weight of this mobile radar is relatively light, and it can also be manually transported to overcome overly complex terrains, making it easy to move and quickly collect data at designated locations.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the mobile weather radar further includes a transmission assembly disposed between the drive member and the movable platform. The transmission assembly transmits power between the drive member and the crossbar driven and connected to the drive member. The transmission assembly serves to transmit power, enabling the drive member to better transmit power to the crossbar and the wheels.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the transmission assembly includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a transmission belt. The first pulley is disposed on a crossbar that is driven and connected to the driving member, the second pulley is disposed at the power output end of the driving member, and the transmission belt is disposed between the first pulley and the second pulley. The first pulley, the second pulley, and the transmission belt require less space, the transmission ratio is easy to set, and installation is convenient.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the portable weather radar further includes a handle and a control panel. The handle is mounted on a moving platform and fixedly connected to the platform. The control panel is mounted on the handle and electrically connected to a drive unit. The handle and control panel facilitate the control of the drive unit's start and stop, thereby enabling the movement of the portable weather radar.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, two handles are provided, spaced apart at both ends of the mobile platform. The two handles allow the mobile weather radar to be pushed and pulled simultaneously from both ends, and can also be easily lifted when needed.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a slot is provided on the top of the mobile station, and the portable weather radar further includes a lifting assembly, a lifting plate, and a base. The base is disposed within the slot, the radar body is disposed on the lifting plate, and the lifting assembly is disposed between the base and the lifting plate. The slot can fix the mounting position of the base, thereby fixing the relative position of the radar body and the mobile station.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting assembly includes an electro-hydraulic rod and a guide rod. The guide rod is disposed between the lifting plate and the base, extending through the lifting plate and above it. The lifting plate is slidably connected to the guide rod. The fixed end and the movable end of the electro-hydraulic rod are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the base and the lifting plate, respectively. The extension and retraction directions of the electro-hydraulic rod and the guide rod are both vertical. The electro-hydraulic rod and the guide rod enable the lifting plate to move up and down in a predetermined direction, thereby achieving height adjustment of the radar body.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, multiple guide rods are provided, and these guide rods are spaced apart around the electro-hydraulic rod. Multiple guide rods can further stabilize the movement direction of the lifting plate, thereby protecting the electro-hydraulic rod and preventing it from being subjected to tangential forces.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the portable weather radar further includes a connector disposed between the base and the mobile station, which securely connects the base and the mobile station. The connector ensures a stable connection between the base and the mobile station. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Weather radar plays a crucial role in meteorological observation and forecasting. It can detect meteorological elements in the atmosphere such as precipitation, clouds, and wind fields, providing important data support for meteorological research and disaster early warning.

[0025] Traditional weather radars are mostly fixed installations, making it difficult to flexibly conduct targeted weather monitoring in different areas. Especially in some temporary weather observation needs, special terrain areas, or emergency monitoring of sudden events, fixed weather radars cannot be quickly and effectively moved to designated locations to collect data. Vehicle-mounted weather radars are greatly limited by terrain and are relatively weak in adapting to complex terrain and rapid deployment.

[0026] Therefore, please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a mobile weather radar, including a radar body 1, a mobile station 2, a crossbar 3, wheels 4, bearings 41, and a drive component 5.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 The radar body 1 is mounted on the mobile station 2. The mobile station 2 can be made of high-strength lightweight alloy materials to ensure the overall structural robustness and lightweight, such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy or titanium alloy; the radar body 1 can be a conventional weather radar, which can adopt a phased array system, thereby having high-resolution weather detection capability, and its antenna array can be electronically scanned to quickly acquire large-area weather information.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1Two crossbars 3 are provided, spaced apart at the bottom of the moving platform 2, and rotatably connected to the moving platform 2. The crossbars 3 can be metal rods, made of iron, stainless steel, or other hard materials. To reduce weight, they can be hollow rods. The two crossbars 3 can be identical. The crossbars 3 can be located on the underside of the moving platform 2, and corresponding mounting ears are provided on the moving platform 2 to facilitate fixing the crossbars 3. The two crossbars 3 should be set parallel to each other.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Four wheels 4 are provided, each located at one end of one of the two crossbars 3. The wheels 4 are positioned on the outside of the moving platform 2 and are fixedly connected to the crossbars 3. The wheels 4 can have plastic or rubber treads and can be metal wheels with hubs and chains. The four wheels 4 can be identical.

[0030] It can be noted that when using the walking wheel 4, the operator needs to operate it to turn, but the angle can be adjusted slightly by the deflection of the wheel itself.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bearings 41 are configured in two sets, with each set corresponding to one of the two crossbars 3. The bearings 41 are positioned between the moving platform 2 and the crossbars 3. Each set of bearings 41 can consist of two or four bearings. The number of bearings 41 can be determined based on the number of areas on the bottom of the moving platform 2 where the crossbars 3 are installed. This allows the crossbars 3 to be rotatably connected to the moving platform 2 after the bearings 41 are installed, and enables the two to be relatively fixed.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 The drive unit 5 is located at the bottom of the mobile platform 2 and is driven by a crossbar 3. The drive unit 5 can be a rotary motor or a hydraulic motor, and a corresponding power supply can be configured for the drive unit 5, so that the drive unit 5 can drive the mobile weather radar to move, which is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 In this application, the radar body 1 is mounted on a mobile station 2. The bottom of the mobile station 2 is equipped with a crossbar 3 and wheels 4, and a drive unit 5 is also configured to drive the wheels 4 through the crossbar 3. The drive unit 5 can drive the wheels 4 to move, thereby moving the mobile station 2 and the radar body 1. This method saves time and effort. At the same time, the mobile station 2 has a small structure, and the wheels 4 and the mobile station 2 are less restricted by terrain, so it can adapt to more complex terrains. In addition, the overall weight of this mobile radar is relatively light, and it can also be carried manually to overcome overly complex terrains, making it easy to move and quickly collect data at designated locations.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the portable weather radar also includes a transmission assembly 6, which is disposed between the drive member 5 and the movable platform 2. The transmission assembly 6 transmits power between the drive member 5 and the crossbar 3, which is driven and connected to the drive member 5. The transmission assembly 6 can transmit power so that the drive member 5 can better transmit power to the crossbar 3 and the wheels 4.

[0035] In some examples, the transmission assembly 6 can use a coupling, allowing the drive element 5 to directly drive the crossbar 3 to rotate. Alternatively, it can use any of the following: gear drive, chain drive, or belt drive. To make the movement of the mobile weather radar safer and more stable, the transmission assembly 6 can be a reduction gear structure, and therefore can employ gear drive, chain drive, or belt drive.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the transmission assembly 6 includes a first pulley 61, a second pulley 62, and a transmission belt 63. The first pulley 61 is mounted on the crossbar 3, which is driven and connected to the drive member 5. The second pulley 62 is located at the power output end of the drive member 5. The transmission belt 63 is positioned between the first pulley 61 and the second pulley 62. The first pulley 61, the second pulley 62, and the transmission belt 63 require less space, the transmission ratio is easy to set, and installation is convenient.

[0037] In some examples, the first pulley 61 and the second pulley 62 can be fixedly installed on the power output end of the crossbar 3 and the drive component 5, respectively, and the first pulley 61 and the second pulley 62 can be a reduction transmission, that is, the diameter of the second pulley 62 is larger than the diameter of the first pulley 61, and the transmission ratio can be 3:1 or 4:1; the transmission belt 63 can be a flat belt, a synchronous belt or a V belt.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the portable weather radar also includes a handle 7 and a control panel 71. The handle 7 is mounted on the mobile platform 2 and is fixedly connected to the mobile platform 2. The control panel 71 is mounted on the handle 7 and is electrically connected to the drive unit 5. The handle 7 and the control panel 71 facilitate the start and stop of the drive unit 5, thereby operating the movement of the portable weather radar.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the handle 7 can be fixedly mounted on the moving platform 2. The mounting method can be fixed installation, such as bolt connection, or welding. The handle 7 can be U-shaped and chamfered. The control panel 71 can have control buttons to control the rotation direction and speed of the drive component 5, thereby operating it as needed.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1In some examples, there are two handles 7, spaced apart at both ends of the mobile station 2. The two handles 7 allow the mobile weather radar to be pushed and pulled simultaneously from both ends, and can also be easily lifted when needed.

[0041] In some examples, the number of handles 7 can be greater than the number of control panels 71. That is, there are two handles 7, while there is only one control panel 71. Only one handle 7 is equipped with a control panel 71, and the other handle 7 only serves to adjust the direction and facilitate pushing and carrying.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the mobile station 2 has a slot 21 on its top. The mobile weather radar also includes a lifting assembly, a lifting plate 82, and a base 81. The base 81 is disposed within the slot 21, the radar body is disposed on the lifting plate 82, and the lifting assembly is disposed between the base 81 and the lifting plate 82. The slot 21 can fix the installation position of the base 81, thereby fixing the relative position of the radar body and the mobile station 2.

[0043] In some examples, the slot 21 can be square or round, the recess depth of the slot 21 can be between 3cm and 5cm, and the slot 21 can be located in the middle of the top surface of the moving platform 2.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 1 The lifting plate 82 and the base 81 can be two flat plates, and the thickness of the base 81 can be slightly greater than the thickness and size of the lifting plate 82. The base 81 can be a metal base or a non-metallic rigid material. The surfaces of the lifting plate 82 and the base 81 can both be flat, and the surfaces of the two plates can be parallel to each other.

[0045] The lifting assembly can be a hydraulic lifting structure, an electric lifting structure, a scissor lifting structure, or a threaded lifting structure, all of which can meet lifting requirements.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the lifting assembly includes an electro-hydraulic rod 83 and a guide rod 84. The guide rod 84 is disposed between the lifting plate 82 and the base 81, extending through the lifting plate 82 and above it. The lifting plate 82 is slidably connected to the guide rod 84. The fixed end and the movable end of the electro-hydraulic rod 83 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the base 81 and the lifting plate 82, respectively. The extension and retraction directions of the electro-hydraulic rod 83 and the guide rod 84 are both vertical. The electro-hydraulic rod 83 and the guide rod 84 enable the lifting plate 82 to move up and down in a predetermined direction, thereby achieving height adjustment of the radar body 1.

[0047] In some examples, the fixed end of the electro-hydraulic rod 83 can be mounted on the base 81, and the movable end can be mounted on the lifting plate 82, thereby fulfilling the lifting requirements of both. A guide sleeve can also be provided between the lifting plate 82 and the guide rod 84 to reduce the friction between the lifting plate 82 and the guide rod 84.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, multiple guide rods 84 are provided, and the multiple guide rods 84 are distributed at intervals around the electro-hydraulic rod 83. The multiple guide rods 84 can further stabilize the movement direction of the lifting plate 82, thereby protecting the electro-hydraulic rod 83 and preventing it from being subjected to tangential forces.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the number of guide rods 84 can be two. Two guide rods 84 can provide a good guiding effect, and can also reduce the installation difficulty and reduce the overall weight of the device.

[0050] Please refer to ​ In some examples, the portable weather radar also includes a connector 85 disposed between the base 81 and the mobile station 2, which securely connects the base 81 and the mobile station 2. The connector 85 ensures a stable connection between the base 81 and the mobile station 2.

[0051] In some examples, the connector 85 can be a bolt, and corresponding open holes and threaded holes can be provided on the bottom walls of the base 81 and the slot 21 to allow the bolt to fix the base 81 and the moving stage 2. The number of bolts can be 4 to 16, preferably 6.

[0052] At this time, the base 81 is in a detachable state, so the structure can also be used to transport fixed weather radars to some special areas, thereby reducing the difficulty of on-site installation and transportation by pre-installing the radar and then transporting it.

[0053] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0054] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
