Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection" and "installation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "connection" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed" means that the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after the connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this utility model, such as "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0021] In this embodiment of the utility model, "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0022] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as used in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of the present invention include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated multi-sensor environmental monitoring device, characterized in that it includes: a sensor housing 10, a sensor base plate 13 inside the sensor housing 10, a first combined sensor 14 at the top of the sensor housing 10, a second combined sensor 15 at the bottom of the sensor housing 10, and a third combined sensor 16 inside the bottom of the sensor housing 10; the first combined sensor 14, the second combined sensor 15, and the third combined sensor 16 are electrically connected to the sensor base plate 13 respectively; the bottom of the sensor housing 10 also has at least one support column 21, the end of the support column 21 away from the sensor housing 10 is connected to a main unit housing 22, the main unit housing 22 has a sensor main board 26 inside, and the sensor base plate 13 is electrically connected to the sensor main board 26.

[0024] Specifically, the sensor housing 10 is located above the main housing 22, and the sensor housing 10 and the main housing 22 are spaced apart. The sensor housing 10 and the main housing 22 are connected together by a support column 21. The main housing 22 is connected to the external structure. The sensor housing 10 consists of an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, which are connected together by screws or other fasteners. The upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 together form a sensor housing 10 with an internal cavity. A sensor is fixedly connected to the lower cover 12 by screws or other fasteners. Sensor base plate 13 is electrically connected to a first combined sensor 14, a second combined sensor 15, and a third combined sensor 16. The first combined sensor 14 is housed within the upper cover 11 and connected by screws or other fasteners. Since the first combined sensor 14 and the upper cover 11 are separate components, a through-hole recess is provided on the upper cover 11 to prevent water leakage. The through-hole recess facilitates the connection between the first combined sensor 14 and the sensor base plate 13. A protruding baffle is provided on the side of the through-hole recess. The combined sensor 14 is covered by a baffle plate. The baffle plate prevents water accumulated in the through-hole groove from flowing into the sensor housing 10. Since the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are separate, a waterproof ring 18 is provided at the contact point between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 to prevent water from entering due to gaps. The waterproof ring 18 seals the gap between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 by the compression of the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. At least one mounting hole 17 is provided in the middle of the lower cover 12. In this embodiment, four holes are preferred. The second combined sensor 15 also has four holes. All four second combined sensors 15 are located within their corresponding mounting holes 17 and are positioned at a predetermined angle. Since the second combined sensors 15 and the lower cover 12 are separate, a waterproof ring 18 is fitted onto each second combined sensor 15 to prevent gaps between them. When the second combined sensor 15 is installed in the mounting hole 17, the waterproof ring 18 is compressed to seal the gap and prevent water ingress. After installation, part of the second combined sensor 15 is located outside the lower cover 12 for easy monitoring of corresponding environmental factors. A third combined sensor 16 is also fixedly installed in the middle of the lower cover 12. The first combined sensor 14, second combined sensor 15, and third combined sensor 16 can all monitor at least two environmental factors, including but not limited to: temperature, humidity, wind, rain, air quality, air pressure, oxygen content, light intensity, altitude, noise, and electromagnetic radiation. In a preferred embodiment of this application, the first combined sensor 14 is a sensor combining rainfall and sunlight, the second combined sensor 15 is a sensor combining wind speed and wind direction, and the third sensor is a sensor combining temperature and humidity. In actual use, these sensors can be changed according to requirements.

[0025] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate sensor replacement, the first combined sensor 14, the second combined sensor 15, and the third combined sensor 16 are all connected to the sensor base plate 13 through a universal plug-in interface. When replacing, simply unplug them; they are plug-and-play.

[0026] Furthermore, since the second combined sensor 15 is set at a predetermined angle, in order to avoid angle deviation, a positioning block 19 is also provided in the mounting hole 17. At the same time, a positioning groove 20 adapted to the positioning block 19 is provided in the second combined sensor 15. When the second combined sensor 15 is placed in the mounting hole 17, the positioning block 19 is located in the positioning groove 20, thereby fixing the angle of the second combined sensor 15.

[0027] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main housing 22 is composed of an outer shell 23 and a bracket 24, and a power supply 25 is provided in the bracket 24 to provide power. A sensor mainboard 26 is provided above the bracket 24. The power supply 25 is electrically connected to the sensor mainboard 26, and the sensor base plate 13 is also electrically connected to the sensor mainboard 26. The monitoring data of the first combined sensor 14, the second combined sensor 15, and the third combined sensor 16 are all transmitted to the sensor mainboard 26 through the sensor base plate 13. In this embodiment, the sensor base plate 13 and the sensor mainboard 26 are connected by wires to reduce signal loss. In order to avoid the exposure of the wires and to protect the wires, the middle part of the support column 21 is hollowed out, and the wires run through the support column 21. The height of the support column 21 is determined according to the environmental factors monitored by the first combined sensor 14. For example, if the first combined sensor 14 monitors wind speed and wind direction, the support column 21 needs to be controlled at a height that allows the sensor housing 10 to collect relevant data to ensure the accuracy of monitoring.

[0028] A fourth combined sensor 27 is also electrically connected to the sensor motherboard 26. This fourth combined sensor 27 can monitor at least one environmental factor, and in this embodiment, it is preferably used to monitor noise data. In order to facilitate the confirmation of the data collection location, a positioning antenna 28 is also connected to the sensor motherboard 26. This positioning antenna 28 is a high-precision Beidou positioning antenna 28, which is used to obtain the current location of the environmental monitoring device.

[0029] In summary, this application integrates multiple sensors, enabling the monitoring of various environmental factors, enhancing the product's application scenarios and functions. It also allows for the matching of different sensors according to the application scenario, making it more flexible to use, easier to assemble, and more compact in structure with lower cost.

[0030] This invention is not limited to the description in the specification and embodiments. Therefore, other advantages and modifications can be readily realized by those skilled in the art. Thus, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and illustrated examples shown and described herein.
