Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biomass boilers, in particular to a new forest fire prevention lookout tower compass. Background Art
[0002] In the early 1950s, my country began to build lookout towers in key forest areas. Until now, the use of lookout towers to monitor fire conditions in forest areas across the country has basically formed a network, with a coverage rate of more than 85%. This is also one of the main facilities for monitoring forest and grassland fires in my country. At present, forest and grassland fire lookout towers play an important role in forest and grassland fire early warning monitoring.
[0003] The existing lookout towers report fires very promptly, but the azimuth is seriously inaccurate, and the error between the reported position and the fire location is very large. Through understanding, it is found that this situation has always existed. There are several reasons. First, the business level of the lookouts is uneven. Most of the lookouts are from the forestry production workers of the forest farm. They have relatively low cultural level and are older. Some of them may not even be able to tell the basic direction on the tower. Second, the lookout tower is not built according to due south and due north. There is no true north mark on the top of the tower. There is a lack of positioning reference point. The dispatcher's experience is relied on to determine whether the data reported by the lookout is usable. Third, the lookout uses a handheld compass to measure the direction. Even if there is a true north reference point, the other three directions cannot be accurately measured. Once a fire is discovered, the lookout often needs to hold the compass and walk to the fire discovery direction for measurement. Fourth, there is a wind swing at the top of the lookout tower. The swing amplitude depends on the wind force. The lookout's handheld compass will inevitably swing. The swing of the top of the tower and the shaking of the human body will also produce certain errors in positioning measurement. Therefore, a new forest fire prevention lookout tower compass is provided to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
