[0031] See also Figures 1 to 8 , this embodiment provides an integrated wind speed and wind direction detector, including a support base 1, a wind speed detection device 2 and a wind direction detection device 3; The wind speed detection device 2 includes a first shaft 21, a wind rotating body 22, a wind speed sensor 23 and a wind speed circuit board 24. The first shaft 21 has a hollow area that passes through from top to bottom. The first shaft 21 is arranged on the support seat 1. The wind rotating body 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the first shaft 21 and can rotate relative to the first shaft 21. The wind speed sensor 23 is used to convert the rotation speed of the wind rotating body 22 into an electrical signal. The wind speed circuit board 24 is used to convert the electrical signal detected by the wind speed sensor 23 into a corresponding wind speed value. The wind direction detection device 3 includes a second shaft 31, a wind vane 32, a support tube 36, a wind direction sensor 34 and a wind direction circuit board 35. The second shaft 31 passes through the upper and lower sides of the first shaft 21 through a hollow area. The wind vane 32 is located above the wind rotating body 22 and is arranged on the upper end of the first shaft 21. The wind vane 32 can rotate with the rotation of the second shaft 31. The support tube 36 is located between the wind rotating body 22 and the wind vane 32. The support tube 36 has a slot 361 that passes through the top and bottom. The support tube 36 is sleeved on the outer side of the first shaft 21 through the slot 361. A second bearing 33 is provided at the slot 361. The second bearing 33 is located above the first shaft 21 and is sleeved on the outer side of the second shaft 31. The wind direction sensor 34 is used to convert the mechanical rotation of the wind vane 32 into an electrical signal. The wind direction circuit board 35 is used to convert the electrical signal detected by the wind direction sensor 34 into a corresponding wind direction.

[0032] It should be mentioned that the first shaft 21 is relatively stationary with the support seat 1, and the wind rotating body 22 can rotate on the first shaft 21 driven by the wind. The first shaft 21 is a hollow structure, and the hollow area is provided for the second shaft 31 to pass through from top to bottom. The support tube 36 can be a hollow cylindrical or truncated cone structure, and its internal space allows the first shaft 21 to pass through it. The internal space of the support tube 36 is provided with a notch 361 that passes through from top to bottom, which can be tightly sleeved on the outside of the first shaft 21. The first shaft 21 plays the role of fixing the support tube 36, so that there is no relative movement between the support tube 36 and the first shaft 21. The second shaft 31 extends out of the upper side of the first shaft 21, and the extended part is supported by the second bearing 33, so that the second shaft 31 can rotate by means of the second bearing 33, ensuring the smooth rotation of the wind vane 32. Through the above structure, the support tube 36 ensures that the wind vane 32 can be stably installed above it, and can also be used as a protective shell, making the overall appearance more beautiful.

[0033] When wind blows through the integrated detector, the wind rotor 22 begins to rotate due to the wind force. The wind speed sensor 23 detects the rotation speed of the wind rotor 22 and converts this physical movement into an electrical signal. The wind speed circuit board 24 processes these electrical signals, calculates the current wind speed value, and outputs the result through a display screen or other means. Also affected by the wind force, the wind vane 32 rotates as the direction of the wind changes. The wind direction sensor 34 detects the rotation angle of the wind vane 32 and converts it into an electrical signal. The wind direction circuit board 35 processes these electrical signals, determines the current wind direction, and outputs the corresponding wind direction information.

[0034] Through the above design, the wind vane 32 can be stably supported above the wind rotor 22, ensuring that the measured wind speed and wind direction data are very close to the same position, thereby improving the consistency and accuracy of the data. Such a layout is more compact and saves space.

[0035] See also Figure 5In this embodiment, the integrated detector further includes a snap ring 38. A circumferentially extending groove 311 is provided on the second shaft 31. The snap ring 38 is plugged into the groove 311. The snap ring 38 is engaged with the upper portion of the notch 361 to limit the support tube 36. A circumferentially extending groove 311 is designed on the outer side of the second shaft 31 to accommodate and fix the snap ring 38. The groove 311 may be an annular groove surrounding the second shaft 31. Figure 5 As shown. The snap ring 38 is like a part of a circular ring that is cut off and then made into a curved shape along the inner wall. The snap ring 38 can be put into the groove 311 of the second shaft 31 and embedded in the notch 361, which acts as a physical limit to prevent the support tube 36 from moving upward along the second shaft 31. In addition, the snap ring 38 is located above the second bearing 33 and contacts the upper side of the second bearing 33, but does not affect the rotation of the second bearing 33, and can prevent the second bearing 33 from slipping out of the notch 361 upward.

[0036] In this embodiment, by reasonably designing the dimensions of the support cylinder 36 and the first shaft 21, the support cylinder 36 can be tightly sleeved on the first shaft 21. Furthermore, in order to avoid the influence of dimensional error, a convex structure for lifting the support cylinder 36 can be provided on the outer side of the first shaft 21, and the support cylinder 36 in the middle can be further limited by the clamping ring and the convex structure.

[0037] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, the integrated detector also includes a first waterproof cover 25, and there is a gap between the support tube 36 and the wind rotating body 22. The first waterproof cover 25 is detachably connected to the upper side of the wind rotating body 22, allowing the first shaft 21 to pass through, and the first waterproof cover 25 is located in the support tube 36.

[0038] Since the wind rotor 22 can rotate relative to the first shaft 21, there is a gap between the support tube 36 and the first shaft 21 to avoid friction. The gap makes it easy for rain or other liquids from the outside to invade the inside, so the first waterproof cover 25 can form a physical barrier to effectively block rain or other liquids from the outside. The internal space of the support tube 36 is enough to accommodate the first waterproof cover 25, keeping the overall volume compact.

[0039] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper side of the wind rotating body 22 has a limiting groove 221, the first waterproof cover 25 is arranged in the limiting groove 221, the limiting groove 221 is provided with a first screw hole 222, and the first waterproof cover 25 is connected to the first screw hole 222 through a second bolt.

[0040] A limiting groove 221 is designed on the upper side of the wind rotating body 22. The shape and size of the limiting groove 221 match the lower part of the first waterproof cover 25, ensuring that the first waterproof cover 25 can be accurately embedded and positioned. The user uses a second bolt to connect the first hole 251 on the first waterproof cover 25 and the first screw hole 222 in the limiting groove 221, ensuring that the first waterproof cover 25 is firmly fixed on the wind rotating body 22.

[0041] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first waterproof cover 25 and the wind rotor 22 are detachably connected by bolts. The detachable connection allows the user to clean or replace it when necessary, simplifying the maintenance process. In some alternative embodiments, the detachable connection can be implemented by a snap connection or a magnetic connection.

[0042] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first waterproof cover 25 is a convex cylindrical shape, which can gradually drain the liquid downward to the outside.

[0043] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper side of the wind rotor 22 has a protruding first ring structure 223 for waterproofing, and the first ring structure 223 is located in the first waterproof cover 25. The inner ring of the first ring structure 223 allows the second shaft 31 to pass through, and the height is high, which can form a physical barrier to effectively block rainwater or other liquids from the outside. Preferably, the first bearing 26 can be installed in the first ring structure 223.

[0044] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the integrated detector also includes a second waterproof cover 39. There is a gap between the wind vane 32 and the support tube 36. The second waterproof cover 39 is located between the wind vane 32 and the support tube 36. The second waterproof cover 39 is detachably connected to the upper side of the support tube 36 to cover the second bearing 33 below. The second waterproof cover 39 allows the second shaft 31 to pass through.

[0045] Since the wind vane 32 is rotatable, there is a gap between the support tube 36 and it to avoid friction. The gap makes it easy for rain or other liquids from the outside to invade the inside, so the second waterproof cover 39 can form a physical barrier to effectively block rain or other liquids from the outside.

[0046] See also Figure 1In this embodiment, the user can use a third bolt to connect through the second hole 391 on the second waterproof cover 39 and the second screw hole 362 on the upper side of the support tube 36 to ensure that the second waterproof cover 39 is firmly fixed on the support tube 36. The detachable connection allows the user to clean or replace it when necessary, simplifying the maintenance process. In some embodiments, the detachable connection between the second waterproof cover 39 and the support tube 36 can be achieved by a snap connection or a magnetic connection.

[0047] See also Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the second waterproof cover 39 is generally in the shape of a sheet, and the edge of the sheet has a protruding arc portion 392, which is convenient for the user to pinch the arc portion to move the second waterproof cover 39.

[0048] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the wind speed sensor 23 includes a wind speed Hall sensor, which is connected to a wind speed circuit board 24. The wind speed circuit board 24 is installed in the support seat 1 through the mounting seat 4 and is located directly below the wind rotor 22. The wind speed circuit board 24 is located on the upper side of the mounting seat 4. The wind rotor 22 is provided with a wind speed magnet 231 adapted to the wind speed Hall sensor. When the wind blows the wind rotor 22, the wind speed magnet 231 rotates accordingly, generating changes in the magnetic field. The wind speed Hall sensor detects these changes in the magnetic field and converts them into electrical signals. The wind speed circuit board 24 processes these electrical signals, calculates the wind speed value, and displays or transmits the results to other systems.

[0049] and / or: The wind direction sensor 34 includes two wind direction Hall sensors, which are respectively connected to the wind direction circuit board 35. The second shaft 31 extends into the support seat 1. The lower side of the second shaft 31 is provided with a wind direction magnet 341 adapted to the wind direction Hall sensor. The wind direction circuit board 35 is installed in the support seat 1 through the mounting seat 4. The wind direction circuit board 35 is located on the lower side of the mounting seat 4. When the wind blows the weather vane 32, the wind direction magnet 341 rotates accordingly, generating a change in the magnetic field. The two wind direction Hall sensors detect these magnetic field changes respectively and convert them into electrical signals. The wind direction circuit board 35 processes these electrical signals, calculates the wind direction value, and displays or transmits the results to other systems.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4Preferably, the wind direction magnet 341 is an annular magnet, and the two wind direction Hall sensors use linear Hall sensors. When the angle between the two is 60 degrees or 90 degrees, the accuracy is relatively good. When the annular magnet is located in the same plane, the voltage-angle is relatively stable. When the N and S poles of the annular magnet are distributed left and right, as the wind vane 32 rotates, the magnet also rotates with the wind vane 32. When the S pole is aligned with the wind direction Hall sensor, the voltage is the highest. When the wind direction rotates one circle, the S pole of the magnetic field gradually changes to the N pole, and then the N pole gradually changes to the S pole, which causes the voltage to gradually change from high to low, and then gradually change from low to high, forming a voltage curve for a whole cycle, ensuring low power consumption and accuracy.

[0051] See also Figure 2 Preferably, the wind speed magnet 231 is cylindrical and can be embedded in the slot 224 inside the wind rotor 22.

[0052] In some embodiments, the wind speed sensor 23 may be a photoelectric encoder or an ultrasonic sensor, and the wind direction sensor 34 may be a potentiometer sensor or a photoelectric encoder.

[0053] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the wind speed circuit board 24 and the wind direction circuit board 35 are located at the upper and lower sides of the mounting base 4, the wind speed circuit board 24 is located at the upper side, close to the wind rotating body 22, and the wind direction circuit board 35 is located at the lower side, close to the part where the second shaft 31 extends out from the lower side of the first shaft 21. In addition, the wind direction circuit board 35 and the wind speed circuit board 24 both have through holes for the second shaft 31 to pass through. Such a design helps to optimize the internal space layout, make the entire device more compact, and reduce unnecessary volume occupation.

[0054] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the second shaft 31 passes through the mounting seat 4, and a mounting groove 42 is provided in the mounting seat 4. A third bearing 37 is provided in the mounting groove 42. The third bearing 37 is sleeved on the outer side of the second shaft 31. The mounting groove 42 limits the third bearing 37 to prevent it from moving upward. The second shaft 31 has a circular protrusion 312 to support the lower side of the third bearing 37. The second bearing 33 and the third bearing 37 both support the rotating second shaft 31. The third bearing 37 can be installed in the mounting groove 42 from bottom to top, and the circular protrusion 312 supports the third bearing 37 below the third bearing 37 to prevent the third bearing 37 from falling off downward.

[0055] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In this embodiment, a protruding slot 41 is provided on the upper side of the mounting base 4, and the wind speed circuit board 24 is inserted into the slot 41. The slot 41 design simplifies the installation process of the wind speed circuit board 24, so that the circuit board can be easily inserted, reduces complex calibration steps, and improves assembly efficiency.

The second outer annular structure 1212 is on the outside of the second inner annular structure, surrounding the second inner annular structure 1211, to prevent rainwater or other liquids from the outside from flowing into the second inner annular structure. Preferably, the second outer annular structure 1212 has a notch 1213, and the notch 1213 can extend to the upper surface of the connecting tube 12, so that the liquid between the second inner annular structure 1211 and the second outer annular structure 1212 can flow out.

[0062] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the wind rotor 22 is a wind cup, which is usually formed by three or four hemispherical cups and has the advantages of a large wind measurement range, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc. In some embodiments, the wind rotor 22 may be a propeller blade.

[0063] See also Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment also provides a meteorological station, including an integrated wind speed and direction detector and a rain measuring device 5. The integrated wind speed and direction detector is the integrated wind speed and direction detector described in any of the above embodiments, and the rain measuring device 5 is arranged on the support seat 1.

[0064] The integrated wind speed and wind direction detector can detect the rotation speed and angle of the wind rotor 22 and the wind vane 32, thereby calculating the wind speed and wind direction data. Among them, the wind vane 32 can be stably supported above the wind rotor 22, ensuring that the measured wind speed and wind direction data are very close to the same position, thereby improving the consistency and accuracy of the data. Such a layout is more compact and saves space. The meteorological station adds a rainwater measuring device 5 on the basis of the integrated wind speed and wind direction detector, and the rainwater measuring device 5 can collect rainwater and measure rainfall.

[0065] The rainwater measuring device 5 is used in combination with the wind speed and wind direction integrated detector to simultaneously monitor wind speed, wind direction and rainfall, providing more comprehensive meteorological data, which is crucial for meteorological forecasting, agricultural management, water resources management and other fields.

[0066] In this embodiment, the rain measuring device 5 may be a tipping bucket rain gauge, an optical rain sensor or other types of rain measuring equipment.
