Detailed Implementation

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] Combination Figures 1 to 4 An obstacle avoidance protection device 100 for an anemometer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a connecting rod 20 and a driving assembly 30. The connecting rod 20 is used to connect the anemometer 10, and the driving assembly 30 is connected to the connecting rod 20. The driving assembly 30 is configured to drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate between an upright position and a tilted position. The connecting rod 20 and the anemometer 10 can be fixedly connected, and the connecting rod 20 can be used to support and fix the anemometer 10.

[0034] For example, the anemometer 200 can be mounted on the top of an engineering vehicle via the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 to monitor parameters such as wind force and wind direction, in conjunction with... Figure 1 When the anemometer 200 is working normally, the connecting rod 20 can be in an upright position to support the anemometer 200 at a certain height, enabling the anemometer 200 to accurately measure parameters such as wind force and direction. Figure 2When the anemometer 200 encounters obstacles such as height restriction poles, the connecting rod 20 can be driven to tilt to a tilted position via the drive assembly. The connecting rod 20 then drives the anemometer 200 to rotate, facilitating obstacle avoidance. When there are no obstacles within the safe distance of the anemometer 200, the connecting rod 20 can be driven to rotate to an upright position via the drive assembly. Compared to related technologies that involve manually disassembling the anemometer 200 or passively avoiding obstacles, this invention, by setting the drive assembly 30, can automatically tilt the connecting rod 20, thereby enabling the anemometer 200 to avoid obstacles. It can also automatically erect the connecting rod 20, facilitating the anemometer 200 to return to its original position after obstacle avoidance for monitoring wind force and direction. This improves the ease of use of the anemometer 200 and reduces the risk of damage when encountering obstacles.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 When the connecting rod 20 is in the vertical position, it can extend vertically, in conjunction with... Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the connecting rod 20 is in the tilted position, the connecting rod 20 can extend in the horizontal direction, or the connecting rod 20 has an angle of less than 90° with the horizontal plane. It should be noted that in this application, the horizontal plane can refer to the mounting plane of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100.

[0036] In addition, the drive assembly 30 also drives the connecting rod 20 to rotate about the vertical axis, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 With the vertical axis E, when the connecting rod 20 is in the tilted position, when an obstacle flies in from the outside, the driving component 30 can drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate around the vertical axis. The connecting rod 20 drives the anemometer 200 to rotate, thereby enabling the anemometer 200 to avoid obstacles flying in from the outside and prevent the anemometer 200 from being damaged by collision. According to the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 of the present invention, by setting the driving component 30, the connecting rod 20 can be driven to automatically switch between the tilted and upright positions, and the connecting rod 20 can be driven to rotate around the vertical axis, thereby driving the anemometer 200 to avoid obstacles, improving the ease of use of the anemometer 200, and enabling the anemometer 200 to avoid obstacles in both the upright and tilted positions, reducing the risk of damage to the anemometer 200 when encountering obstacles.

[0037] The connecting rod 20 connects to the anemometer 200. Exemplarily, the anemometer 200 can be connected to either the end of the connecting rod 20 or to the middle of the connecting rod 20. In some preferred embodiments, the connecting rod 20 has an upper end and a lower end in its vertical position. The upper end of the connecting rod 20 is connected to the anemometer 200, and the lower end of the connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the drive assembly.

[0038] For example, the anemometer 200 may be an ultrasonic anemometer 200.

[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 further includes a ranging device 50 and a controller. The ranging device 50 is used to detect the relative position of the anemometer 200 and the obstacle. The controller communicates with the ranging device 50 and with the drive assembly 30. The controller is configured to control the drive assembly 30 based on the monitoring results of the ranging device 50. Exemplarily, the ranging device 50 can be connected to the anemometer 200. The obstacle avoidance protection device 100 is installed in a vehicle. When the anemometer 200 is working, the connecting rod 20 is in an upright position. When the ranging device 50 detects an obstacle within a safe distance of the anemometer 200, the ranging device 50 can convert the collected signal into an electrical signal and send it to the controller. The controller receives the signal sent by the ranging device 50, and the drive assembly 30 receives the electrical signal from the controller and drives the connecting rod 20 to rotate to a tilting position, so that the anemometer 200 avoids the obstacle and protects the anemometer 200 from being damaged. When there are no obstacles within the safe distance, the ranging device 50 sends a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal from the ranging device 50 and communicates with the drive component 30. The drive component 30 receives the electrical signal from the controller and drives the connecting rod 20 to rotate to the upright position. The connecting rod 20 supports the anemometer 200 at a certain height to measure wind speed, wind direction, etc. By setting the ranging device 50 and the controller to work together, the ranging device 50 can monitor the relative position of the anemometer 200 and obstacles in real time. The controller receives the signal from the ranging device 50 and sends control commands to the drive component 30 to drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate to the upright or tilted position, thereby improving the automation level of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100, improving the ease of use of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100, and thus improving the reliability of the anemometer 200.

[0040] For example, the ranging device 50 may be a laser ranging sensor, an ultrasonic ranging sensor, an infrared ranging sensor, etc.

[0041] Furthermore, the ranging devices 50 include multiple devices arranged at circumferential intervals along the anemometer 200, facilitating the detection of obstacles around the anemometer 200 and reducing the risk of collision damage to the anemometer 200. For example, when the connecting rod 20 is in the tilted position, by providing ranging devices 50 around the anemometer 200, it is convenient to detect obstacles flying towards the anemometer 200 in different directions. This facilitates the control of the drive assembly 30 via the controller, allowing the drive assembly 30 to drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate around its vertical axis to avoid obstacles and further reduce the risk of collision damage to the anemometer 200.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 30 includes a mounting base 31, a base 37, and a drive mechanism 32. The connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 31 between an upright position and a tilted position. The mounting base 31 is disposed on the base 37 and rotatably connected to the base 37 about a vertical axis. The drive mechanism 32 is disposed on the mounting base 31 and is used to drive the connecting rod 20 and the base 37 to rotate relative to the mounting base 31. Specifically, the drive mechanism 32 drives the connecting rod 20 to rotate relative to the mounting base 31 between an upright position and a tilted position, and the drive mechanism 32 drives the mounting base 31 to rotate relative to the base 37 about a vertical axis, so as to facilitate the anemometer 200 to avoid obstacles in different directions. Exemplarily, the drive mechanism 32 can drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate about a rotation axis, which can extend in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 20, improving the movement stability of the connecting rod 20, thereby facilitating the movement of the anemometer 200 via the connecting rod 20. It should be noted that the axis of the connecting rod 20 changes dynamically during rotation, and the axis of the connecting rod 20 always extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation during rotation.

[0043] For example, the rotation axis can extend in the left and right direction. When the connecting rod 20 is in the upright position, the axis of the connecting rod 20 extends in the up and down direction. When the connecting rod 20 is in the tilted position, the axis of the connecting rod 20 extends in the front and back direction. Specifically, the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 can be installed on the vehicle. When the vehicle is traveling in the direction from back to front, if it encounters an obstacle in front, the connecting rod 20 can be driven to tilt backward by the drive mechanism 32 so that the anemometer 200 can stably avoid the obstacle. When there is no obstacle in the direction of travel, the connecting rod 20 is driven to rotate forward and return to the upright position by the drive mechanism 32.

[0044] Furthermore, the base 37 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 31 about a vertical axis, which can extend vertically. The drive mechanism 32 can drive the mounting base 31 to rotate relative to the base 37 about the vertical axis, thereby causing the anemometer 200 to rotate about the vertical axis, thus displacing the anemometer 200 from the obstacle and allowing the anemometer 200 to avoid the obstacle. It should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right" used in this application indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive mechanism 32 includes: a first drive member 321, a worm 322, and a worm wheel 323. The first drive member 321 is positioned on the mounting base 31; the worm 322 is driveably connected to the first drive member 321; the worm wheel 323 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 31 and is relatively stationary to the connecting rod 20, and the worm wheel 323 is driveably connected to the worm 322. Specifically, the first drive member 321 can drive the worm 322 to rotate, the worm 322 meshes with the worm wheel 323, the worm 322 drives the worm wheel 323 to rotate, and the worm wheel 323 drives the connecting rod 20 to rotate between an upright position and a tilted position. The axis of the worm 322 and the axis of the worm wheel 323 can be perpendicular. By setting the worm wheel 323 and worm 322 to drive the drive assembly 30, the structure of the drive assembly 30 is compact, and the transmission of the worm wheel 323 and worm 322 is smooth, thereby facilitating the stable driving of the connecting rod 20 to rotate by the drive mechanism 32.

[0045] In addition, the drive mechanism 32 includes a worm gear 323 and a worm 322, which makes the drive mechanism 32 self-locking. For example, when the first drive member 321 is not working, the connecting rod 20 can be stopped at any position.

[0046] Optionally, the worm 322 is mounted on the upper end of the connecting seat 31 via a bearing housing. The first driving member 321 drives the worm 322 and the worm wheel 323 to move, thereby driving the connecting rod 20 and the anemometer 200 to rotate around the rotation axis, reducing the kinetic energy loss of the first driving member 321 driving the worm 322 and the worm wheel 323.

[0047] Combination Figures 6 to 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base 31 has a mounting groove 311, the worm gear 323 is disposed in the mounting groove 311, the mounting base 31 includes a rotating shaft 312, the rotating shaft 312 extends along the rotation axis of the connecting rod 20 and passes through the mounting groove 311, and the worm gear 323 is connected to the rotating shaft 312. Specifically, the mounting groove 311 can position and protect the worm gear 323, improving the structural stability of the worm gear 323. In addition, by setting the rotating shaft 312 to position the worm gear 323 in the mounting groove 311, displacement of the worm gear 323 during rotation is avoided, thereby improving the stability of the drive mechanism 32 and enabling the drive mechanism 32 to stably drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate.

[0048] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, in the vertical position, the axis of the worm gear 322, the output axis of the first drive member 321, and the axis of the connecting rod 20 are substantially parallel, combined with Figure 5As shown, the axis of the worm gear 322 is A, the output axis of the first drive member 321 is B, and the axis of the connecting rod 20 is C. Optimizing the layout of the drive mechanism 32 and the connecting rod 20 makes the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 more compact. It should be noted that "generally parallel" means parallel or having an angle less than a preset angle, which can be 0 to 10°.

[0049] Combination Figure 6 Optionally, a gear set 35 may be provided between the first driving member 321 and the worm 322 to reduce the speed of the worm 322 and increase the torque, thereby improving the working stability of the driving mechanism 32.

[0050] Combination Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 30 further includes a cover 33, which is connected to the mounting base 31 and covers at least a portion of the drive mechanism 32. The cover 33 can protect the drive mechanism 32, prevent mechanical collisions from causing malfunctions in the drive mechanism 32, and prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the drive mechanism 32, thereby improving the service life of the drive mechanism 32.

[0051] The cover 33 covers at least a portion of the drive mechanism 32. The cover 33 may cover the entire drive mechanism 32, or it may cover only a portion of the drive mechanism 32. For example, the drive mechanism 32 may include a worm gear 323 and a worm 322. The cover 33 is connected to the mounting base 31 and covers the worm 322. The worm gear may be located on the mounting base 31.

[0052] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive mechanism 32 further includes a second drive member 34, a first gear 361, and a second gear 362. The second drive member 34 is disposed on the mounting base 31; the first gear 361 is connected to the output shaft of the second drive member 34; the second gear 362 is drively connected to the first gear 361 and is relatively stationary on the mounting base 31. Specifically, by setting the first gear 361 and the second gear 362 to cooperate, the rotational speed of the mounting base 31 is reduced and the torque is increased, which facilitates the stable rotation of the mounting base 31 relative to the base 37 by the second drive member 34.

[0053] For example, the base 37 can be fixed to the vehicle to fix and support the obstacle avoidance protection device 100. In conjunction with the above, the connecting rod 20 connects the mounting base 31 and the anemometer 200. By setting the second driving member 34, the mounting base 31 can be driven to rotate the anemometer 200 relative to the base 37 around the vertical axis, thereby driving the anemometer 200 to move and realize the obstacle avoidance of the anemometer 200.

[0054] The base 37 can be magnetically attached to the top of the vehicle. For example, the base 37 may include a magnetic component, and the connection between the vehicle and the base 37 may be a metal component; or, the base 37 may be a metal component, and the connection between the vehicle and the base 37 may be a magnetic component, which facilitates the installation and removal of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 from the vehicle.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive assembly 30 includes a base 37, which is provided with a magnetic structure. The base 37 can be magnetically attached to the top of the engineering vehicle, facilitating the installation and removal of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 from the engineering vehicle. For example, by providing a magnetic structure on the base 37, the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 can be attached to different positions on the engineering vehicle according to actual usage needs, and it also facilitates subsequent maintenance of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100. Combined with... Figure 3 In addition, the second drive unit 34 is configured to drive the mounting base 31 to rotate relative to the base 37 about the vertical axis. The arrow indicates the rotation direction of the mounting base 31. The second drive unit 34 can drive the mounting base 31 to rotate 360° about the vertical axis, thereby driving the anemometer 200 to rotate 360° along the vertical axis, so that the anemometer 200 can avoid flying obstacles.

[0056] Combination Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, a bearing 60 is provided between the mounting base 31 and the base 37 to reduce the resistance during the rotation of the mounting base 31 relative to the base 37.

[0057] Combination Figure 7 Specifically, the mounting base 31 and the base 37 are connected by a bearing 60. The bearing 60 connection allows the mounting base 31 to rotate 360° without resistance. A first gear 361 and a second gear 362 are installed below the mounting base 31. The first gear 361 and the second gear 362 are driven to rotate by the second driving member 34, thereby enabling the mounting base 31, the connecting rod 20 and the anemometer 200 to rotate 360°. Rotating the anemometer 200 causes the anemometer 200 to be offset from the obstacle, thus avoiding the obstacle.

[0058] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments of the present invention, the drive mechanism 32 includes a first drive member 321 and a second drive member 34. The first drive member 321 drives the anemometer 200 to rotate between an upright position and a tilted position, and the second drive member 34 drives the anemometer 200 to rotate about a vertical axis. The first drive member 321 and the second drive member 34 are connected to opposite sides of the mounting base 31, making the overall structure of the drive assembly 30 compact, reducing the space occupied by the obstacle avoidance protection device 100, and reducing the mutual influence between the first drive member 321 and the second drive member 34.

[0059] CombinationFigure 1 The present invention also proposes a wind speed monitoring device 1000, including the aforementioned obstacle avoidance protection device 100 and an anemometer 200. The anemometer 200 is mounted on a connecting rod. By setting the aforementioned obstacle avoidance protection device 100, when the anemometer 200 encounters obstacles such as height restriction poles or flying obstacles, the anemometer 200 can be driven to move by a drive component, thereby realizing automatic obstacle avoidance of the anemometer 200 and reducing the risk of damage to the anemometer 200 when it encounters obstacles.

[0060] The present invention also proposes a vehicle, comprising: a vehicle body and the aforementioned obstacle avoidance protection device 100, a drive assembly 30 disposed on the vehicle body, and a connecting rod 20 erected on the vehicle body in an upright position and laid flat on the vehicle body in a tilted position. The drive assembly 30 may be directly disposed on the vehicle body; or the drive assembly 30 may be disposed on the vehicle body via a base 37.

[0061] Specifically, the connecting rod 20 is erected on the vehicle body in the vertical position, which facilitates the support of the anemometer 200 at a certain height above the vehicle body, enabling the anemometer 200 to accurately measure parameters such as wind force and wind direction. When the anemometer 200 encounters an obstacle, the drive mechanism 32 can drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate to the tilting position, and the connecting rod 20 is laid flat on the vehicle body, which drives the anemometer 200 to avoid the obstacle and prevent the anemometer 200 from malfunctioning due to a collision. After the vehicle body passes the obstacle, the drive mechanism 32 can drive the connecting rod 20 to rotate to the vertical position, which facilitates the measurement of parameters such as wind force and wind direction by the anemometer 200. By setting up the aforementioned obstacle avoidance protection device 100, when the vehicle encounters an obstacle (such as a height restriction bar), the anemometer 200 can be automatically avoided by the drive mechanism 32. After the vehicle passes the obstacle, the anemometer 200 is automatically returned to its original position by the drive mechanism 32, without the need for manual operation by staff. This improves the ease of use of the obstacle avoidance protection device 100 and reduces the risk of collision damage to the anemometer 200.

[0062] The present invention also proposes an obstacle avoidance method for the aforementioned obstacle avoidance protection device. The obstacle avoidance method includes: determining obstacle information within a safe distance of the anemometer; if there is an obstacle within the safe distance of the anemometer, then controlling the drive component to drive the anemometer to move away from the obstacle according to the relative movement direction of the anemometer and the obstacle.

[0063] For example, the obstacle avoidance protection device may include a ranging device and a controller. When the ranging device detects an obstacle within the safe distance of the anemometer, the ranging device sends a signal to the controller. The controller receives the signal from the ranging device and sends a control command to the drive component. After receiving the command, the drive component drives the anemometer to move away from the obstacle.

[0064] Specifically, when the connecting rod is in the upright position, if the ranging device detects an obstacle in front of the anemometer, the drive assembly can drive the connecting rod to tilt backward, so that the anemometer can stably avoid the obstacle. When there is no obstacle in the direction of travel, the drive assembly drives the connecting rod to rotate forward and return it to the upright position. When the connecting rod is in the tilted position, if the ranging device detects an obstacle flying laterally from any position in the circumferential direction of the anemometer, the drive assembly can drive the connecting rod to rotate around the vertical axis, so as to move the anemometer away from the obstacle and avoid damage to the anemometer. In the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.
