Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of meteorological monitoring, and specifically to an ecological restoration rain gauge based on meteorological monitoring. Background Art
[0002] With the intensification of global climate change, ecological restoration work has become increasingly important. During the ecological restoration process, accurate monitoring of rainfall is the key to evaluating the restoration effect of the ecological environment and formulating a scientific restoration plan. Chinese Patent Application No. 202210188914.X discloses "a tipping bucket rain gauge that is easy to clean, including an outer cylinder, a metering device, and an inverted water inlet device. The metering device includes a fixed box and a metering disc. Four metering grooves are opened on the metering disc. Rotating rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the metering disc. One end of the rotating rod is fixedly sleeved with a one-way bearing, and a rotating ring is fixedly sleeved outside the one-way bearing. This tipping bucket rain gauge that is easy to clean is reasonably designed. Metering grooves are opened on the metering disc of the metering device. After the metering grooves collect rainwater, they gradually sink. During this process, the metering disc does not rotate. When reaching the critical point, the metering disc quickly rebounds and rotates 90°, pouring out the collected rainwater and using a new metering groove to collect rainwater, which can effectively prevent the metering accuracy from being reduced due to unclean rainwater dumping."
[0003] This technical solution only solves the problem of reduced metering accuracy caused by unclean rainwater dumping. However, when using a rain gauge such as a tipping bucket rain gauge, weather conditions such as wind and rain may interfere with the measurement accuracy and stability. Strong winds may change the falling trajectory of rainwater, resulting in measurement errors. In extremely cold weather, the liquid inside the rain gauge may freeze and cause the rain measuring mechanism to fail. In addition, the tipping buckets in existing tipping bucket rain gauges are often integrally formed, resulting in a fixed range of the rain gauge. When the rainfall is small, it is often difficult to receive enough rainwater to cause the tipping bucket to flip, so it is difficult for the rain gauge to accurately measure small rainfall.

The front and rear sides of the middle of the tipping bucket 305 are movably installed on the front and rear side walls inside the support frame 302 by bearings. There are two water outlet buckets 306, which are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the top end of the base 1 by bolts; The rain entering the outer shell 2 is collected by the rain receiving bucket 303, and then the rain enters the funnel 304. The water in the funnel 304 enters one bucket of the tipping bucket 305. After the rain reaches the range volume, the tipping bucket 305 is driven to flip by gravity, so that the rain received in the tipping bucket 305 is poured into the water outlet bucket 306. While flipping, the other bucket of the tipping bucket 305 enters the rain receiving state, so as to carry out cyclic rain measurement;
[0037] The range control mechanism 4 includes a leak-proof strip 403, a first movable slot 405, a second movable slot 406, a rotating plate 407, and a rotating seat 408. The leak-proof strip 403 is fixedly arranged at the edge of the partition plate 402 adjacent to the tipping bucket 305. The first movable slot 405 is opened at the left and right ends of the middle upper part of the front and rear side walls of the support frame 302. The second movable slot 406 is opened in the middle of the top of the front and rear side walls of the support frame 302.

There are two rotating seats 408, which are respectively movably installed on the sides of the two rotating plates 407 away from the support frame 302 through bearings, and are located at the connection between the tipping bucket 305 and the rotating plate 407. By driving the push rod 401 to move inside the support frame 302 through the synchronizing plate 404, the partition plate 402 is driven by the push rod 401 to move towards the middle inside the tipping bucket 305. At this time, the space formed between the two partition plates 402 in one bucket of the tipping bucket 305 and the tipping bucket 305 becomes smaller, so that the tipping bucket 305 flips when receiving less rainfall.
[0038] The range control mechanism 4 includes a threaded rod 409, a first bevel gear 410, a first motor 411, a second bevel gear 412, and a transmission rod 413.

The second bevel gear 412 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the first motor 411 and is movably connected with the first bevel gear 410 through meshing. The transmission rod 413 is movably installed in the second movable slot 406 by insertion. The two ends of the transmission rod 413 are respectively movably installed at the tops of the two rotating plates 407 by insertion. By driving the first bevel gear 410 to rotate through the second bevel gear 412, the rotating seat 408 connected to the first bevel gear 410 rotates following the first bevel gear 410. When the rotating seat 408 rotates, the other rotating seat 408 is driven to rotate through the transmission belt 414 and the transmission rod 413. At this time, the two threaded rods 409 rotate following the two rotating seats 408.
[0039] The range control mechanism 4 includes a transmission belt 414, a counterweight plate 415, a magnetic block 416, and a reed switch assembly 417.

Whenever the magnetic block 416 approaches one of the two reed switch assemblies 417 once, the magnetic block 416 triggers the reed switch assembly 417 to generate a signal once, indicating that the tipping bucket 305 flips once and records it.
[0040] The barrel mouth protection mechanism 5 includes limit strips 503, an annular cover 504, a synchronous gear ring 505, and gear shafts 506. There are four limit strips 503 in total, and they are all movably installed at the top end of the outer shell 2 by insertion and are respectively fixedly installed at the bottom ends of the four translation racks 502 through bolts. The annular cover 504 is fixedly installed at the top end of the outer side wall of the outer shell 2 through bolts. The synchronous gear ring 505 is located inside the annular cover 504 and is movably sleeved on the outer side wall of the outer shell 2 through a bearing. There are four gear shafts 506 in total, and they are evenly movably installed at the top end of the annular cover 504 through bearings. The protection cover plate 501 is driven to move away from the outer shell 2 by the translation rack 502. At this time, the top end of the outer shell 2 is opened, so that rainwater can enter the outer shell 2.
[0041] The barrel mouth protection mechanism 5 includes a translation gear 507, a driving gear 508, a second motor 509, and a solar panel 510. There are four translation gears 507 in total, and they are respectively fixedly installed at the top ends of the four gear shafts 506 through bolts.

There are four solar panels 510 in total, and they are respectively fixedly installed at the top ends of the four protection cover plates 501 through bolts. The gear shaft 506 connected to the second motor 509 is driven to rotate by the second motor 509, so that the driving gear 508 above the second motor 509 and the translation gear 507 rotate simultaneously. The synchronous gear ring 505 is driven to rotate by this driving gear 508. When the synchronous gear ring 505 rotates, the other three driving gears 508 are driven to rotate, and the other three translation gears 507 are driven to rotate through the gear shafts 506. When the translation gear 507 rotates, the translation rack 502 is driven to move.
[0042] The rain protection mechanism 6 includes a rotating frame 603, a lifting groove 604 and a lifting frame 605. There are four groups of rotating frames 603, and the bottom ends are respectively movably installed in the middle of the bottom ends of the four protective nets 602 through rotating shafts. The top ends of the rotating frames 603 are movably installed on the outer side wall of the housing 2 through rotating shafts. The lifting groove 604 is opened in the middle of the side wall of the rotating frame 603. There are four groups of lifting frames 605, and the bottom ends are respectively movably installed in the four lifting grooves 604 by insertion. The top ends of the lifting frames 605 are fixedly installed on the bottom end of the limiting frame 601 above it through bolts; drive the lifting frame 605 to translate through the limiting frame 601. When the lifting frame 605 moves, it drives the rotating frame 603 to rotate around its top end by moving in the lifting groove 604. At this time, drive the protective net 602 to rise in the limiting frame 601 through the rotating frame 603. When the barrel opening of the housing 2 is opened, the protective net 602 rises outside the top end of the housing 2, and floating objects such as leaves and branches that enter the housing 2 following strong winds are blocked by the protective net 602.
[0043] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, start the second motor 509, drive the gear shaft 506 connected thereto to rotate through the second motor 509, so that the driving gear 508 above the second motor 509 and the translation gear 507 rotate simultaneously. Drive the synchronous tooth ring 505 to rotate through this driving gear 508. When the synchronous tooth ring 505 rotates, drive the other three driving gears 508 to rotate, and drive the other three translation gears 507 to rotate through the gear shaft 506. When the translation gear 507 rotates, drive the translation rack 502 to move, control the rotation direction of the second motor 509, so that the translation rack 502 moves away from the housing 2, drive the protective cover plate 501 to move away from the housing 2 through the translation rack 502. At this time, the top end of the housing 2 is opened, so that rainwater can enter the housing 2, and the barrel opening of the housing 2 is closed by the protective cover plate 501 to prevent the inside of the housing 2 from being frozen in extremely cold weather. And when it does not rain, the housing 2 is closed by the protective cover plate 501, making it difficult for sand and leaves in the environment to enter the housing 2, improving the service life of the equipment and the accuracy during rain measurement;
[0044] When the protective cover plate 501 moves, it drives the limit frame 601 to move simultaneously. The limit frame 601 drives the protective net 602 to move, and the limit frame 601 drives the lifting frame 605 to translate. When the lifting frame 605 moves, by moving within the lifting groove 604, it drives the rotating frame 603 to rotate around its top end. At this time, the rotating frame 603 drives the protective net 602 to rise within the limit frame 601. When the barrel opening of the housing 2 is opened, the protective net 602 rises outside the top end of the housing 2. The protective net 602 blocks floating objects such as leaves and branches that enter the housing 2 following strong winds, and the protective net 602 blocks the strong wind, preventing the strong wind from affecting the entry of rainwater into the housing 2, thereby improving the accuracy of the device during rainfall measurement;
[0045] When rainwater enters the housing 2, it is collected by the rain receiving hopper 303 and then enters the funnel 304. The water in the funnel 304 enters one of the buckets of the tipping bucket 305. After the rainwater reaches the measuring range volume, it drives the tipping bucket 305 to flip by gravity, causing the rainwater received in the tipping bucket 305 to pour into the water outlet bucket 306. While flipping, the other bucket of the tipping bucket 305 enters the rainwater receiving state, and this cycle of rainfall measurement is carried out. When the tipping bucket 305 flips, it drives the rotating plate 407 to rotate simultaneously. The rotating plate 407 drives the magnetic block 416 to swing. Whenever the magnetic block 416 approaches one of the two reed switch assemblies 417, the magnetic block 416 triggers the reed switch assembly 417 to generate a signal, indicating that the tipping bucket 305 has flipped once and is recorded;
[0046] According to the measurement requirements, the device can adjust the amount of rainwater received by the tipping bucket 305 each time to change the measuring range. By starting the first motor 411, it drives the second bevel gear 412 to rotate. The second bevel gear 412 drives the first bevel gear 410 to rotate, causing the rotating seat 408 connected to the first bevel gear 410 to rotate following the first bevel gear 410. When the rotating seat 408 rotates, it drives another rotating seat 408 to rotate through the transmission belt 414 and the transmission rod 413. At this time, the two threaded rods 409 rotate following the two rotating seats 408. When the threaded rods 409 rotate, they drive the push rod 401 to move towards the inside of the support frame 302 through the synchronous plate 404, and the push rod 401 drives the partition plate 402 to move towards the middle inside the tipping bucket 305. At this time, the space formed between the two partition plates 402 in one bucket of the tipping bucket 305 and the tipping bucket 305 becomes smaller, causing the tipping bucket 305 to flip after receiving less rainfall, enabling the device to accurately measure even during light rainfall and improving the applicability of the device.
