Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of environmental monitoring, in particular to a snow depth observation device. Background Art

[0002] Snow depth is one of the important parameters in meteorological observation, and its accurate observation is crucial for the accuracy of meteorological forecasts. Through the real-time monitoring of snow depth, more accurate meteorological data can be obtained, providing strong support for the establishment and prediction of meteorological models. There are two existing methods for snow measurement: automatic measurement and manual measurement. Among them, manual measurement is that operators use a measuring ruler to observe and detect the snow depth.

[0003] During the process of manual measurement of snow depth, since the observation ruler needs to be inserted into the snow, with the continuous detection and use of the observation ruler, ice and snow will adhere to the observation ruler. These ice and snow attachments will block the scale of the observation ruler, resulting in the inability to accurately read the snow depth during snow depth observation, leading to a large error in the observation result and the problem of low accuracy of the observation device. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that when the existing observation device is used, ice and snow attachments will block the scale of the observation ruler, resulting in the inability to accurately read the snow depth during snow depth observation, leading to a large error in the observation result and the problem of low accuracy of the observation device, and to propose a snow depth observation device.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technology:

[0006] A snow depth observation device includes a fixed tube, a measuring rod is sleeved on the fixed tube, a conical head is detachably installed at the bottom of the measuring rod, a handle is arranged at the top of the fixed tube, a snow removal component for cleaning the ice and snow attached to the measuring rod is arranged on the fixed tube, and a limiting component for positioning and fixing the snow removal component during measurement is arranged on the handle.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the snow removal component includes a connecting rod arranged on the fixed tube, a cleaning brush in contact with the measuring rod is arranged at the bottom of the connecting rod through an installation clamp, and a handle is arranged at the top of the connecting rod.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the installation clamp includes a first clamp body and a second clamp body that cooperate with each other, and the first clamp body and the second clamp body are connected by a connecting bolt.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the first hoop body and the second hoop body are connected by a connecting plate and a connecting rod. The bottom of the connecting rod is threadedly connected with a locking nut through a connecting end, and a connecting hole matching the connecting end is formed on the connecting plate.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the limiting component includes a connecting block fixed to the bottom of the handle. A hook matching the handle is suspended at the bottom of the connecting block through a spring rope.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a top head is arranged at the top of the measuring rod through a mounting groove. A return spring is arranged between the top head and the inner wall of the mounting groove. A positioning hole matching the top head is formed on the fixed pipe.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a threaded end is fixedly connected to the top of the conical head. A threaded connection groove matching the threaded end is formed by upward depression at the bottom of the measuring rod.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: a spirit level is arranged at the top of the handle.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Refer to Figures 1-7 , a snow depth observation device provided in this embodiment includes a fixed pipe 1, a measuring rod 2 is sleeved on the fixed pipe 1, a tapered head 3 is detachably installed at the bottom of the measuring rod 2, a handle 4 is provided at the top of the fixed pipe 1, a spirit level 5 is provided at the top of the handle 4, a snow removal assembly 6 for cleaning the ice and snow attached to the measuring rod 2 is provided on the fixed pipe 1, and a limit assembly 7 for positioning and fixing the snow removal assembly 6 during measurement is provided on the handle 4.

[0028] In the present utility model, when observing the snow depth, the measuring rod 2 is taken out from the fixed tube 1. The operator holds the handle 4 for the observation operation, inserts the measuring rod 2 vertically downward into the snow to be observed. The conical head 3 at the bottom of the measuring rod 2 can reduce the resistance of the measuring rod 2 inserted into the snow, enabling the measuring rod 2 to be quickly inserted into the snow. The spirit level 5 at the top of the handle 4 ensures the verticality of the measuring rod 2, thus avoiding the observation error caused by the inclination of the measuring rod 2. After the conical head 3 abuts against the ground, the snow depth can be directly observed and read through the scale on the measuring rod 2. Subsequently, the measuring rod 2 is pulled out from the snow for observations at multiple locations. After the measuring rod 2 is pulled out, the limiting component 7 is opened, and the operator uses the snow removal component 6 to clean the ice and snow attached to the measuring rod 2, avoiding the occlusion of the readings of the measuring rod 2 by these ice and snow attachments and reducing the erosion of the ice and snow attachments on the measuring rod 2.

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the snow removal component 6 includes a connecting rod 61 arranged on the fixed tube 1. The bottom of the connecting rod 61 is provided with a cleaning brush 63 in contact with the measuring rod 2 through a mounting clamp 62, and a handle 64 is arranged at the top of the connecting rod 61.

[0030] Among them, when the snow removal operation needs to be performed on the measuring rod 2, the operator holds the handle 64 and then pushes the connecting rod 61 downward, so that the cleaning brush 63 on the mounting clamp 62 slides on the measuring rod 2, thereby scraping off the ice and snow attached to the measuring rod 2 by the sliding cleaning brush 63, avoiding the attachment of ice and snow on the measuring rod 2.

[0031] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the mounting clamp 62 includes a first clamp body 621 and a second clamp body 622 that cooperate with each other. The first clamp body 621 and the second clamp body 622 are connected by a connecting bolt 623.

[0032] Among them, the cleaning brushes 63 are respectively arranged in the first clamp body 621 and the second clamp body 622. After the first clamp body 621 and the second clamp body 622 are connected by the connecting bolt 623, the cleaning brushes 63 form an annular brush sleeved on the measuring rod 2. The design of the first clamp body 621 and the second clamp body 622 can facilitate the cleaning and replacement of the cleaning brushes 63, ensuring that the cleaning brushes 63 can effectively remove the ice and snow attachments on the measuring rod 2.

[0033] Specifically, as Figures 2-4 shown, the first clamp body 621 and the second clamp body 622 are connected to the connecting rod 61 through a connecting plate 624. The bottom of the connecting rod 61 is threadedly connected with a locking nut 612 through a connecting end 611, and a connecting hole 625 matching the connecting end 611 is provided on the connecting plate 624.

[0034] When the installation clamp 62 is connected to the connecting rod 61, the connecting end 611 at the bottom of the connecting rod 61 passes through the connecting hole 625 of the connecting plate 624, and then the locking nut 612 is screwed onto the connecting end 611 to realize the connection between the connecting rod 61 and the installation clamp 62. The installation clamp 62 and the connecting rod 61 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled through the connecting end 611 and the locking nut 612, so as to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the snow removal assembly 6.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the limiting component 7 includes a connecting block 71 fixed to the bottom of the handle 4, and a hook 73 that cooperates with the handle 64 is suspended at the bottom of the connecting block 71 through a spring cord 72.

[0036] Among them, the spring cord 72 is elastic. When the snow removal assembly 6 is not in use, in order to ensure that the snow removal assembly 6 will not interfere with the measuring rod 2, the hook 73 is hooked on the handle 64 to ensure that the snow removal assembly 6 will not move downward, so that the measuring rod 2 can normally observe the snow depth. When the measuring rod 2 needs to be snow-removed after being pulled out of the snow, the hook 73 is pulled downward, and the spring cord 72 stretches, so that the hook 73 is disengaged from the handle 64. At this time, the operator can use the handle 64 to move the cleaning brush 63 on the installation clamp 62 to snow-remove the measuring rod 2.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, the top of the measuring rod 2 is provided with a top head 22 through an installation groove 21, a return spring 23 is arranged between the top head 22 and the inner wall of the installation groove 21, and a positioning hole 11 that cooperates with the top head 22 is opened on the fixed pipe 1.

[0038] Among them, the number of positioning holes 11 on the fixed pipe 1 is two and are respectively located at positions close to both ends thereof. When observing the snow depth, the measuring rod 2 is taken out of the fixed pipe 1. At this time, the top head 22 is stuck in the positioning hole 11 near the lower end of the fixed pipe 1. When the observation device needs to be carried or transported, the top head 22 is pressed, so that it contracts after squeezing the return spring 23. The top head 22 disengages from the positioning hole 11 at the bottom of the fixed pipe 1 and contracts into the installation groove 21. At this time, the measuring rod 2 can move on the fixed pipe 1. The measuring rod 2 is contracted into the fixed pipe 1. When the top head 22 moves to the positioning hole 11 at the top of the fixed pipe 1, the top head 22 pops out under the action of the return spring 23 and is stuck in the positioning hole 11 at the top of the fixed pipe 1, so as to accommodate the measuring rod 2 in the fixed pipe 1, so that the volume of the observation device can be greatly reduced when not in use, which is convenient for the observer to carry and transport.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, a threaded end 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the conical head 3, and a threaded connection groove matching with the threaded end 31 is formed by upward depression at the bottom of the measuring rod 2.

[0040] Among them, the conical head 3 has a sharp end, which can more easily penetrate the snow layer and reduce the resistance during insertion. When in use, the observer can more easily insert the measuring rod 2 into the snow, improving the observation efficiency. The threaded connection structure enables the convenient disassembly and installation of the conical head 3, and thus enables convenient disassembly and repair when the conical head 3 is damaged.

[0041] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
