According to statistics, ozone has become the primary pollutant affecting the polar atmospheric environment. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor ozone in the polar regions.

[0003] The ozone detectors in existing ozone observation stations are all powered by ordinary batteries. On the one hand, ordinary batteries are difficult to adapt to the ultra-low temperature environment of the polar regions; on the other hand, ordinary batteries have limited power and are difficult to keep the ozone detectors working continuously. In addition, polar observation stations, especially Antarctic observation stations, are often unattended for a long time, and the equipment is unmaintained, which makes long-term reliable operation more difficult.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover such modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

The directions or positional relationships indicated by "inside", "outside", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "horizontal", "longitudinal", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. To facilitate the illustration of the structure of the device, some of the drawings of the present invention are illustrated in perspective.

When a feature "includes or contains" one or some of the features it covers, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and may further include other features.

[0038] In the description of the present embodiment, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "some examples", "an example", etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0039] The utility model provides an ozone observation station suitable for polar regions, which can realize near-ground ozone observation in three polar regions (Antarctica, the Arctic, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau). Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an ozone observation station suitable for polar regions according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic perspective view of an ozone observation station suitable for polar regions according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0040] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the ozone observation station may include: an air intake bracket 10, an ozone monitor 20, an ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 and a solar panel 40. The air intake bracket 10 is used to be arranged in a polar environment, the ozone monitor 20 is arranged on the air intake bracket 10, and is used to monitor the ozone concentration in the polar environment air, the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 is connected to the ozone monitor 20, and is used to supply power to the ozone monitor 20, and the solar panel 40 is connected to the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30, and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30.

[0041] The ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 can adapt to the low temperature environment of the polar regions. The reliability of the power supply can be improved by supplying power to the ozone monitor 20 through the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30. The solar panel 40 converts solar energy into electrical energy and stores it in the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30, which can replenish the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30. In this way, the ozone monitor 20 can continue to work in the polar environment, thereby continuously monitoring the ozone in the polar environment.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the air inlet bracket 10 is provided with an air inlet (not shown) connected to the polar environment, and the ozone monitor 20 is connected to an air inlet pipe 210, and the air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 210 is connected to the air inlet so as to supply the polar environment air introduced from the air inlet to the ozone monitor 20. Thus, the air in the polar environment can be smoothly introduced into the ozone monitor 20 through the drainage effect of the air inlet pipe 210.

[0043] In one example, the air intake bracket 10 may include a column 110 and a snow-proof air intake cover 120, the column 110 is vertically arranged, the snow-proof air intake cover 120 is fixed to the column 110, and the air intake port may be opened at the periphery of the snow-proof air intake cover 120. For example, the air intake port is a microporous structure arranged at the bottom of the snow-proof air intake cover 120.

[0044] With the above structure, the air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 210 can be connected to the air inlet port by simply extending the air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 210 into the snow-proof air inlet cover 120. The snow-proof air inlet cover 120 can block the accumulated snow in the polar environment from flying into the air inlet pipe 210, thereby preventing the accumulated snow from flowing into the ozone monitor 20 through the air inlet pipe 210 and thus avoiding damage to the ozone monitor 20.

[0045] Furthermore, a particle filter 130 may be provided in the snowproof air intake cover 120, and the air intake end of the air intake pipe 210 extends into the snowproof air intake cover 120 and is connected to the particle filter 130. Thus, the filtering effect of the particle filter 130 can prevent dust particles in the polar environment air from entering the ozone monitor 20, so that the air entering the ozone monitor 20 is purer, which can effectively reduce the risk of damage to the ozone monitor 20.

[0046] In one example, the snow-proof air intake cover 120 is fixed to the top of the column 110, and the ozone monitor 20 is fixed to the middle of the column 110. A vertically extending pipe is formed inside the column 110 between the ozone monitor 20 and the snow-proof air intake cover 120, and at least part of the air intake pipe 210 is passed through the pipe from bottom to top in the column 110. In this way, the column 110 can be used to protect the air intake pipe 210, reducing damage to the air intake pipe 210.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the air intake bracket 10 may further include a substrate 150, the column 110 is fixed to the substrate 150, and the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 may be buried in the snow layer of the polar environment along with the substrate 150. For example, the substrate 150 is buried 1.5-2m into the snow layer, and the low thermal conductivity of the snow is used to reduce the energy exchange between the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 and the surrounding environment, thereby effectively maintaining the temperature of the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30.

[0048] Further, the base plate 150 may be a circular plate, a square plate or other polygonal plates, and the bottom of the column 110 may be fixed at the center of the base plate 150. Thus, the base plate 150 may be used to increase the support area on the snow layer and reduce the sinking of the column 110.

[0049] The height of the column 110 extending upward from the snow layer can be 2m, and the snow-proof air intake cover 120 is arranged on one side of the top of the column 110. Thus, the air at high altitude can be introduced into the ozone monitor 20, so that the monitoring data is more representative.

[0050] In one example, the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 may include two ultra-low temperature batteries 310, which are symmetrically arranged on the substrate 150 about the pillar 110. Thus, the substrate 150 can be more evenly stressed, which is conducive to maintaining the overall stability and balance of the air intake bracket 10.

[0051] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of an ultra-low temperature battery 310 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 Specifically, the ultra-low temperature battery 310 may include a shell 311, a main battery 312, and a heating device 313. The shell 311 has an inner liner 311a and an outer liner 311b, and a vacuum insulation layer 311c is formed between the inner liner 311a and the outer liner 311b. The battery body is installed inside the inner liner 311a. The heating device 313 is arranged on the wall of the inner liner 311a, and is configured to heat the inner liner 311a in a controlled manner.

[0053] The inner liner 311a and the outer liner 311b can both be made of stainless steel. The inner liner 311a is divided into a first inner chamber 311f and a second inner chamber 311g by a vacuum partition 311e. The first inner chamber 311f is used to arrange the main battery 312 and the instrument mainboard 314, and the main battery 312 can be powered externally through the vacuum socket 311d provided on the first inner chamber 311f; the second inner chamber 311g is used to arrange the auxiliary battery 315, and the auxiliary battery 315 is used to supply power to the heating device 313. The heating device 313 can be a heating film attached to the outer wall of the inner liner 311a.

[0054] The ultra-low temperature battery 310 of this embodiment has a vacuum insulation layer 311c between the inner liner 311a and the outer liner 311b, which can ensure that the inner liner 311a is isolated from the outside air and reduce heat conduction. The first inner cavity 311f and the second inner cavity 311g can be arranged up and down, and the first inner cavity 311f of the lower layer is used to install the main battery 312 and the instrument main board 314. The instrument main board 314 can be the main board of the ozone monitor 20. The main battery 312 supplies power to the ozone monitor 20, etc. The inner liner 311a is connected to the outside world through the vacuum socket 311d to ensure the vacuum degree. The second inner cavity 311g of the upper layer is used to arrange the auxiliary battery 315, and the auxiliary battery 315 is mainly used to power the heating device 313 to achieve temperature control. The above structure constitutes a passive temperature control system, which minimizes the heat exchange between the main battery 312 and the outside world.

[0055] The ozone monitor 20 can be a low-power portable ozone monitor 20. The total power of the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 can be 16W. The ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 is recharged by the solar panel 40 to achieve energy supply during the polar night (no sunlight from January to February), thereby achieving long-term observation of more than 300 days.

[0056] In one example, the air intake bracket 10 may further include two pull cables 170 , which extend from the middle of the column 110 to both sides below it, respectively, and are configured to reinforce the column 110 to improve the stability of the column 110 .

[0057] In practical applications, the bottom of the towline 170 can be fixed by piling or tying heavy objects, and the forces exerted by the two towlines 170 on the column 110 are kept consistent to prevent the column 110 from tilting due to uneven force.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the ozone observation station may also include a data acquisition module 50 and a satellite communication module 60, wherein the data acquisition module 50 is connected to the ozone monitor 20 for receiving monitoring data from the ozone monitor 20 and processing the monitoring data, and the satellite communication module 60 is connected to the data acquisition module 50 for receiving processed monitoring data and transmitting the processed monitoring data back so that domestic workers can analyze and study the transmitted data.

[0059] Furthermore, a satellite antenna 70 may be provided on the air intake bracket 10 and may be fixed on the column 110 of the air intake bracket 10. The satellite antenna 70 may realize communication between the satellite communication module 60 and the satellite and transmit the monitoring data back to the domestic server through the program software.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the air intake bracket 10 may further include a heat preservation box 140, which may be fixed to the column 110. The outer shell 311 of the heat preservation box 140 is made of a heat preservation material, and a heat preservation space is formed inside. The ozone monitor 20, the data acquisition module 50, and the satellite communication module 60 may all be arranged in the heat preservation space. For example, the satellite communication module 60, the data acquisition module 50, and the ozone monitor 20 are stacked in the heat preservation box 140 in sequence.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the solar panel 40 and the heat preservation box 140 are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle of the column 110. In this way, the force on both sides of the column 110 can be more evenly applied.

[0062] Furthermore, the solar panel 40 can be arranged to be tilted outward from top to bottom relative to the column 110. In this way, the solar panel 40 can better receive sunlight, increase the illumination area, and improve the energy conversion efficiency.

[0063] In this embodiment, taking both the illumination area and the illumination duration into consideration, the angle between the solar panel 40 and the horizontal plane can be set to about 45°, so that more light energy can be converted into electrical energy and stored in the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 .

[0064] In one example, a first fixing plate 161 and a second fixing plate 162 are disposed between the solar panel 40 and the column 110. The first fixing plate 161 and the second fixing plate 162 are both long strips arranged vertically, and the length of the second fixing plate 162 is greater than the length of the first fixing plate 161. In this way, the solar panel 40 can be stably connected to one side of the column 110 in an inclined posture.

[0065] The ozone observation station of the present invention can solve the problem of poor reliability of ordinary battery power supply caused by low temperature environment by using the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30 to power the ozone monitor 20. By connecting the solar panel 40 to the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30, light energy can be converted into electrical energy, thereby replenishing the ultra-low temperature battery pack 30, and then the ozone monitor 20 can continue to work, creating favorable conditions for ozone analysis and research in polar environments.

[0066] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
