Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of earthquake early warning equipment and relates to an earthquake sensing device, in particular to an intelligent earthquake sensing device based on photovoltaic power supply. Background Art

[0002] The current mainstream node seismic sensor design focuses primarily on data acquisition and storage, rather than real-time transmission. In field environments, the need to recharge or replace batteries hinders maintenance and protects against field attacks. Node technology allows each node unit to function as an independent acquisition unit, storing the generated raw data locally rather than transmitting it in real time. This design necessitates that node seismometers use a download device to synthesize data after data acquisition to obtain complete seismic data, resulting in data acquisition lagging behind the acquisition process. Node instruments are characterized by circuit complexity and high power consumption, limiting their ability to transmit data in real time. High-density acquisition requires significant manpower and material resources to manage node instrument charging and download equipment. Furthermore, certain design details of some products on the market, such as the need for additional battery power and charging interfaces, can complicate their field application in seismic exploration and acquisition operations.

[0034] When in use, the present invention comprises: an intelligent earthquake sensing device based on photovoltaic power supply, comprising a box, an earthquake sensor, a solar panel, a tripod, an energy storage system, a communication module, and a central processing unit; during use, the device is first transported to the area to be measured, the box is placed on the ground, and the detection end of the earthquake sensor is inserted into the ground, then the tripod is opened and fixed to the ground, the height of the tripod is reasonably adjusted according to the local terrain, and then the locking bolts on the central axis and the locking bolts on the legs are tightened.
