[0067] Furthermore, the puncturing gas injection nozzle 330 is in the shape of a horizontally arranged cone or truncated cone, with a larger plane fixed on the inner wall of the supporting tube 310, and the air hole is located on the outer wall; a heating melting head 331 is provided at a position of the puncturing gas injection nozzle 330 away from the inner wall of the supporting tube 310; the heating melting head 331 is an electric heating wire or an electric heating plate, which is heated under the control of the control unit; the heating melting head 331 plays the role of timely melting and penetrating a layer of the cleaning tape 324 (debugging is required in actual use to determine the energy required for the heating melting head 331 to melt and penetrate a layer of the cleaning tape 324).
[0068] When the laser measurement system for cloud cover observation of the second embodiment is actually used: In step 5, when the cleaning tape 324 is closely attached to the inner wall of the carrier tube 310, the carrier end surface 221 and the external lens 222, the cleaning tape 324 is also closely attached to the piercing gas injection nozzle 330. At this time, the piercing gas injection nozzle 330 operates to pierce a layer of the cleaning tape 324 and inject gas into the cleaning tape 324, so that the cleaning tape 324 is more closely attached to the external lens 222 under the action of the internal pressure; thereafter, the inlet and outlet air hole group 223 is controlled to release gas so that the cleaning tape 324 is reset. In step 7 and step 8, the wiping force can be adjusted by piercing a layer of the cleaning tape 324 through the piercing gas injection nozzle 330 and injecting gas into the cleaning tape 324.
[0069] Embodiment 3: In order to further improve the cleaning effect and ensure the degree of cleanliness after cleaning, this embodiment 3 adds a side spray head and a pump assembly 360 on the basis of the above embodiment 2. The side spray head is positioned on the side wall of the supporting tube 310 and faces the external lens 222.
[0070] The liquid pump assembly 360 is a combination of a cleaning liquid tank, a liquid pump, a liquid valve and a liquid infusion tube. The cleaning liquid tank is used to store the cleaning liquid, and the liquid pump pumps the cleaning liquid in the cleaning liquid tank to the side nozzle.
[0071] After cleaning the dust, control the side nozzle to spray cleaning liquid to rinse and clean the external lens 222, control the support shell 220 to rotate to pour out the cleaning liquid in the support tube 310; while pouring out the cleaning liquid, control the pump air assembly 350 to operate so that the inlet and outlet holes both exhaust air to the outside and then discharge the cleaning liquid entering the inlet and outlet hole group 223; finally, scrub and clean.
[0072] Embodiment 4: Considering that the cleaning effect of flushing the external lens 222 by only relying on the side nozzle to spray cleaning liquid in the above embodiment 3 is relatively limited, and because the cleaning liquid will enter the inlet and outlet air hole group 223 and the air supply pipe connected thereto, it is easy to cause the inlet and outlet air holes and the air supply pipe to be dirty (dust and other dirt flushed easily flow into the tube body and remain on the tube wall, and after accumulation, it is easy to be carried out under the influence of the air flow in the tube, thereby dirtying the external lens 222 and affecting the measurement). To address the above problems, this embodiment 4 uses a piercing and injection nozzle 340 to replace the side nozzle in the above embodiment on the basis of the above embodiment 3, and optimizes and adjusts the structure of the inlet and outlet air hole group 223, and evenly arranges a plurality of heating piercing bodies 224 on the bearing end surface 221 near the edge of the external lens 222.
[0073] like Fig.16 and Fig.17 As shown, the puncturing and injection nozzle 340 is connected to the pump liquid component 360, and is used to puncture a layer of the cleaning tape 324 and inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tape 324. There are one or more puncturing and injection nozzles, which are positioned on the inner wall of the supporting tube 310. The puncturing and injection nozzle 340 is a horizontally arranged cone or frustum, with a larger plane fixed on the inner wall of the supporting tube 310, and the liquid outlet is located on the outer wall; a heating melting head 331 is provided at a position of the puncturing and injection nozzle 340 away from the inner wall of the supporting tube 310; the heating melting head 331 is an electric heating wire or an electric heating plate, which is heated under the control of the control unit; the heating melting head 331 plays the role of timely melting and penetrating a layer of the cleaning tape 324.
[0074] Preferably, the structure of the puncturing liquid injection nozzle 340 is the same as that of the puncturing gas injection nozzle 330; the spacing between the inlet and outlet holes is less than 5 mm.
[0075] The number of the heating piercing bodies 224 is more than 3, and is preferably a section of electric heating wire, one end of which is fixed on the bearing end surface 221 and is heated under the control of the control unit to melt and penetrate a layer of the cleaning tape 324 in a timely manner.
[0076] The pump liquid assembly 360 also includes a waste liquid discharge assembly, which is a combination of a waste liquid tank, a distribution valve and a delivery tube, and is connected to the infusion tube to discharge the cleaning liquid that is drawn back after use.
[0077] When the laser measurement system for cloud cover observation of this embodiment 4 is actually used: After step 5 in embodiment 1 is completed and before step 6 is started, the inlet and outlet air hole group 223 is controlled to draw air from the supporting tube 310 so that the cleaning belt 324 is deformed under the action of negative pressure and gradually approaches the inner wall of the supporting tube 310, the supporting end surface 221 and the external lens 222, and the inlet and outlet air hole group 223 is completely closed; at this time, the cleaning belt 324 is also closely attached to the piercing and injection nozzle 340 and the heating piercing body 224; at this time, the piercing and injection nozzle 340 operates to pierce a layer of the cleaning belt 324 and inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning belt 324; the heating piercing body 224 also operates to pierce a layer of the cleaning belt 324; the liquid injected from the piercing and injection nozzle 340 Under the action of pressure, a portion of the cleaning liquid flows out from the position close to the heated piercing body 224; the flowing cleaning liquid will be on the bearing end face 221 and the external lens 222, and will not flow into the inlet and outlet holes because the inlet and outlet holes are closed; the piercing liquid injection nozzle 340 is controlled to intermittently output and withdraw the cleaning liquid, so that the cleaning liquid on the external lens 222 and the bearing end face 221 flows to assist the cleaning of the external lens 222; then the pump liquid assembly 360 is controlled to cooperate with the piercing liquid injection nozzle 340 to withdraw most of the output cleaning liquid into the waste liquid bin; then the inlet and outlet hole group 223 is controlled to release air so that the cleaning belt 324 is reset. When performing step 6, two cleaning cloths 326 are used successively to clean the outer lens 222. The first cleaning cloth 326 is used to dry the outer lens 222 and remove stubborn stains, and the second cleaning cloth 326 is used to clean the outer lens 222.
