[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rain barrels, in particular to a rain barrel for a rain gauge. Background Art
[0002] In the fields of meteorological observation and agricultural irrigation management, rain gauges are important tools for measuring precipitation. Their accuracy and convenience are crucial to data collection and analysis. One of the core components of a traditional rain gauge is a rain barrel, which is mainly used to collect precipitation for subsequent measurement.

[0026] The first rain barrel 1 is made of transparent plastic material, and the outer surface of the first rain barrel 1 is provided with multiple groups of scale grooves 8.
