Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of high-altitude meteorological detection systems, specifically relating to an automatic power-on device for a radiosonde. Background Technology

[0002] The fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system is an automated unmanned upper-air meteorological sounding system independently developed by Nanjing Bridge Machinery Co., Ltd. It is a leading unmanned, networked automated upper-air meteorological sounding equipment in China. It can autonomously or remotely from a central station measure atmospheric parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and wind direction from the ground to an altitude of 35 km and a slant distance of 200 km, according to preset instructions. It is widely used in remote and climate-sensitive areas such as deserts, Gobi deserts, and islands. Because there are still gaps in the layout of upper-air meteorological sounding station networks in uninhabited areas such as deserts, Gobi deserts, and islands, automated upper-air meteorological equipment is essential in the field of meteorological observation.

[0003] The development of a fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system will fill the gap in upper-air atmospheric sounding methods in remote, uninhabited areas such as mountainous regions, deserts, and islands. This system can be widely used in meteorology, agriculture, water conservancy, civil aviation, environmental protection, and national defense, significantly reducing human resource consumption and providing richer upper-air atmospheric sounding data for weather forecasting, meteorological scientific research, and meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation, thus having enormous economic and social benefits.

[0004] To address the issue of automatic power-on of the radiosonde in a fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system, an automatic power-on device for the radiosonde is proposed to realize the automatic power-on function of the radiosonde. Summary of the Invention

[0005] During the detection process of the fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system, the radiosonde is mainly carried out by a radiosonde balloon. To achieve automation and unmanned operation of the upper-air meteorological sounding process, the radiosonde must be automatically powered on during the base measurement stage. This requires the development of an "automatic power-on device for the radiosonde" to perform the automatic power-on operation.

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of how to automatically power on the radiosonde in a fully automatic upper-air meteorological detection system under unattended conditions.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives and solve the technical problems, this utility model proposes an automatic power-on device for a radiosonde, which mainly includes the following structure: bracket, positioning pin, power-on module, limit sensor, etc.

[0008] The support frame is a fixed structure used to house the positioning pins, power-on module, limit sensors, and radiosonde carrier. The positioning pins, mounted on the support frame, primarily secure the radiosonde carrier. The power-on module, installed at the front of the support frame, is equipped with a cable for controlling the power connection. During operation, the radiosonde is powered on via contact between metal pins on the power-on module and metal contacts on the radiosonde carrier. The limit sensors, installed inside the support frame, send signals to the control computer when the radiosonde carrier is placed on the automatic power-on device. The control computer then controls the power supply to the automatic power-on device according to preset instructions, reducing the workload.

[0009] During the execution of a detection mission by the fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system, the robotic arm receives a power-on command from the control computer for the radiosonde. It then grasps the carrier containing the radiosonde and places it onto the automatic power-on device. Multiple positioning pins secure the carrier and the device, ensuring accurate engagement between the metal pins on the power-on module and the metal contacts on the radiosonde carrier. Once the limit sensor detects correct installation, it sends a signal to the control computer. Upon receiving this signal, the control computer sends a command to the automatic power-on device to energize it, completing the automatic power-on process for the radiosonde and realizing the automatic power-on task of the fully automated upper-air meteorological sounding system.

[0010] Preferably, an automatic power-on device is formed by integrating positioning pins, power-on modules, and limit sensors on a single bracket to complete the automatic power-on process of the radiosonde.

[0011] Preferably, the automatic power-on device is designed with positioning pins, which are installed diagonally on the bracket to position the radiosonde carrier and achieve accurate docking with the carrier.

[0012] Preferably, the bracket is provided with mounting holes at the rear, which can be fixed to the bulkhead or a stable support; more preferably, the number of mounting holes is 4.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The automatic power-on device for a radiosonde is a key component for achieving automated and unmanned upper-air meteorological detection, enabling automatic power-on of the radiosonde. This invention, applicable to unmanned areas such as deserts, mountains, and extremely cold or hot regions, utilizes a single support structure comprising a positioning pin, a power-on module, and a limit sensor to form the automatic power-on device. The positioning pin ensures precise positioning and installation of the radiosonde carrier, while the limit sensor detects whether the carrier is properly installed. A control computer then powers the automatic power-on device, thus automating the power-on of the radiosonde. This invention features a scientifically designed structure, convenient operation, strong practicality, and broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0022] An automatic power-on device, measuring 380×400×200mm and made of rust-resistant aluminum, mainly comprises the following structure: a bracket 1, positioning pins 4, a power-on module 3, and limit sensors 2. The positioning pins 4 are mounted on the bracket 1 to position the carrier carrying the radiosonde. The power-on module 3 is installed at the front end of the bracket 1, equipped with cables and a controllable power supply connection. The limit sensors 2 are installed inside the bracket 1. The bracket 1 has four mounting holes at its rear for fixing to a bulkhead or a stable support. During operation of the fully automatic upper-air meteorological detection system, the robotic arm receives the radiosonde power-on command, grasps the carrier carrying the radiosonde, and places it onto the automatic power-on device. Multiple positioning pins 4 accurately engage the metal pins on the power-on module 3 with the metal points on the radiosonde carrier. The limit sensors 2 detect correct installation of the radiosonde and send a signal to the control computer. Upon receiving the command, the control computer controls the power supply to power the automatic power-on device, completing the automatic power-on task for the radiosonde.

[0023] Working principle: The power supply device is fixed to the bulkhead through the four mounting holes at the rear of the bracket 1. The positioning pin 4 is installed on the bracket 1. The radiosonde carrier is positioned by the positioning pin 4 and accurately connected to the bracket 1. The power supply module 3 is installed at the front end of the bracket 1. It is equipped with a cable and a controllable power supply connection. When the radiosonde carrier is placed on the power supply module 3, the metal pin on the power supply module 3 contacts the metal contact on the radiosonde carrier. After the limit sensor 2 detects that the carrier is placed in the predetermined position, it sends a signal to the control computer. The control power module then powers on the power supply device to complete the power supply of the radiosonde.
