[0033] The size of the cover 37 matches the size of the square frame 21, so that the cover 37 can completely seal the square frame 21, and the sealing ring 23 prepared with the rubber strip can effectively prevent the outside wind and rain from entering the house and affecting the astronomical telescope; the mounting frame 22 and the driving frame 24 are both provided with a plurality of threaded connection holes, and screws are installed inside the threaded connection holes, and the mounting frame 22 and the driving frame 24 are fixedly connected to the roof by screws. The mounting frame 22 and the driving frame 24 can be fixedly connected to the roof 1 by screws passing through the threaded connection holes, which is convenient for installation, reduces construction difficulty, and reduces installation costs.

[0034] The sealing ring 23 and the sealing strip 371 are both rubber strips. To ensure the sealing performance, the rubber strip is compressed and deformed to seal the gap to prevent wind and rain from penetrating into the house.

[0035] The shading mechanism 25 includes a shading frame 251 installed at the lower end of the traveling frame 24, shading grooves 252 arranged on both sides of the shading frame 251, a shading smooth rod 253 slidably installed in the shading groove 252, a shading cloth 254 connecting the shading smooth rod 252 and the shading frame 251, a screw sleeve 255 installed at the side end of the shading smooth rod 253, a rotating motor 256 arranged at one end of the shading frame 251, a rotating screw 257 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 256, and a controller installed at the bottom end of the shading frame 251; the end of the rotating screw 257 is rotatably connected to the shading frame 251, and the screw sleeve 255 is threadedly connected to the transmission screw 257; the rotating motor 256 is electrically connected to the controller. The shading cloth 254 is configured to block the cover 37 when not in use, thereby preventing external sunlight from directly penetrating the cover 37 and irradiating the astronomical telescope, thereby affecting the paint surface of the astronomical telescope. At the same time, the rotating motor 256 is electrically connected to the controller and controlled by the controller, and the controller is connected to an external power supply via an external wire, thereby providing sufficient power for the electrical appliances of the device. When in use, the rotating motor 256 is activated to drive the rotating screw 257 to rotate, so that the screw sleeve 255 moves on the rotating screw 257, thereby expanding and tightening the shading cloth 254 made of opaque cloth, thereby completing the switching between shading and non-shading.

[0036] At the side ends of the hinge seats at the four corners of the traveling frame 24, there are U-shaped limiting grooves 241, and fixing holes 242 are provided in the middle of the U-shaped limiting grooves 241. The support mechanism 26 includes a connecting rod 261 rotatably installed on the hinge seat, a threaded hole 262 provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 261, a locking bolt 263 threadedly connecting the threaded hole 262 and the fixing hole 242, adjustment holes 264 equidistantly provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 261, a bottom rod 265 movably sleeved outside the connecting rod 261, a fixing sleeve provided at the side end of the bottom rod 265, and a fixing bolt threadedly connecting the fixing sleeve and the adjustment hole. It can limit and fix the connecting rod 261 rotatably installed inside the hinge seat to prevent the connecting rod 261 from folding and causing instability in the manufacture; at the same time, the provided support mechanism 26 can share the weight of the structure installed on the roof to prevent the roof from being damaged due to excessive force on the roof.

[0037] A connecting seat is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 34, and the end of the electric telescopic rod 32 is hinged inside the connecting seat; the electric telescopic rod 32 is electrically connected to the controller. It can push and pull the connecting plate 34 to move, and the controller can control the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 32 to operate according to the installation requirements of the device.

[0038] The electric telescopic rod 32 uses existing components such as existing electric push rods.

[0039] The top frame 36 includes a connecting rod 361, rotating seats 362 provided at the lower ends on both sides of the connecting rod 361, and lifting wheels 363 rotatably installed at the outer ends of the connecting rod 361. The traveling frame 24 further includes a lifting plate 243 connecting the traveling frame 24 and the square frame 21, and lifting grooves 244 provided on both sides of the lifting plate 243; the size and position of the lifting grooves 244 are adapted to the lifting wheels 363. While meeting the requirement of realizing the horizontal movement of the top frame 36, after the lifting wheels 363 touch the lifting plate 243, the top frame 36 is lifted upward into the square frame 21, and sealing is achieved through the cooperation of the cover 37 and the square frame 21.

[0040] The cover 37 is made of a transparent material. When the astronomical telescope is not in use, the cover 37 can be used as a stargazing window, and the night view can be observed on the premise of ensuring that the outside wind and rain do not enter the house, improving the diversity of the device's use.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] The usage method includes the following steps:

[0043] (1), Equipment installation:

[0044] First, according to the external size of the square frame 21, an observation window 11 is opened at a suitable position on the selected roof 1, and the periphery of the observation window 11 is processed (concrete leveling) to make it flat and smooth to meet the installation requirements of the mounting frame 22 (to ensure that the mounting frame 22 can fit tightly with the installation position and ensure sealing), and then the square frame 21 is placed inside the observation window 11, and then the mounting frame 22 is tightly mounted on the roof with screws; similarly, the inside of the roof is processed to meet the installation requirements of the driving frame 24 (to ensure that the driving frame 24 can fit tightly with the installation position and ensure stability), and then the driving frame 24 is tightly mounted on the roof with screws, at this time, the external wiring on the controller is connected to the external power supply, and the rotating motor 256 and the electric telescopic rod 32 are debugged by operating the controller (to verify whether the rotating motor 256 and the electric telescopic rod 32 can be used normally and whether they can meet the requirements when used), and the installation of the device is completed after the debugging is completed;

[0045] (2) Equipment use:

[0046] Place the astronomical telescope in the best position (on the premise that the astronomical telescope does not interfere with the field of view and the rotation angle, place the astronomical telescope on the roof of the building so that the lens of the astronomical telescope is aimed at the middle position of the observation window 11). When using the astronomical telescope for observation, the electric telescopic rod 32 is controlled by operating the controller to move. When the electric telescopic rod 32 retracts, the sliding block 33 is first driven to move backward, and the cover 37 is lowered under the action of the folding rod 35 and withdrawn from the square frame 21. After the cover 37 withdraws from the square frame 21, the electric telescopic rod 32 is continuously recovered, and then the sliding block 33 is driven to move along the sliding groove 31 to expose the square frame 21. Then, the controller is operated to control the rotation motor 256 to move, drive the rotation screw 257 to move, retract the shading cloth 254, expose the field of view, and then the astronomical telescope can be used for observation;

[0047] After the observation is finished, the controller is operated to control the electric telescopic rod 32 to move. The electric telescopic rod 32 is extended to first drive the sliding block 33 to move forward, and then drive the sliding block 33 to move along the sliding groove 31 to be placed under the square frame 21. Then the electric telescopic rod 32 is continuously extended, and the cover 37 is lifted under the coordinated action of the folding rod 35 and the rising wheel 363, so that the cover 37 enters the inside of the square frame 21. When the cover 37 reaches the maximum depth of entering the square frame 21, the closure is completed; similarly, the control motor 256 is controlled to move, and the rotating screw 257 is driven to move, so that the shading cloth 254 is stretched to cover the field of view to prevent the external sunlight from shining on the astronomical telescope;

[0048] At the same time, the device can also be used as a transparent skylight, and people can view the night sky through the cover 37 made of transparent material.
