Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydrological monitoring, in particular to an automatic precipitation collector. Background Art

[0002] Hydrology refers to various phenomena such as the changes and movements of water in nature. Hydrology now generally refers to a discipline that studies the temporal and spatial distribution and changing patterns of water in nature. In the process of reservoir hydrology monitoring, it is sometimes necessary to use precipitation collectors to collect and test precipitation around the reservoir.

[0003] The publication number authorized by China is CN218411885U, and it is called a patent for an automatic precipitation collector. The device includes a main body, and a collection mechanism is arranged on the surface of the main body. In the utility model, the operation of the first motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, thereby driving the slider to move, and the slider drives the extension rod to slide in the main body, thereby driving the fixed shell to move. The operation of the spring enables the brush plate to fit the top of the filter plate to scrape the debris on the filter plate into the cleaning shell, and the debris in the cleaning shell can be taken out of the main body by pulling the cleaning rod. The setting of this structure can effectively block the debris accompanying the precipitation and clean the debris to prevent it from hindering the precipitation collection, thereby solving the problem that the new precipitation collector can only block the debris such as fallen leaves but cannot clean the debris during use, and the long-term accumulation of fallen leaves will lead to poor precipitation collection effect. Although the above device can clean up the debris, there are still some problems when using the device: 1. The device does not have an automatic cover mechanism, and it cannot close the top opening when it is not raining, so that floating pollutants such as dust can easily pollute the water body, and some aquatic mosquitoes can easily lay eggs in the water inside the device. 2. The device does not have a convenient cleaning mechanism. Since there are many obstacles inside the device, it is more troublesome to clean it. Utility Model Content
