[0032] The "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are based on Figure 1 the direction of the attached drawings.

[0033] Such as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a protective cover for a wind farm acoustic radar transducer includes a transducer body 1. A mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transducer body 1. A protective ring block 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting plate 2. An annular card slot 4 is opened on the top surface of the protective ring block 3. Fixing grooves 5 are opened at the four peripheral parts on one side of the inner wall of the annular card slot 4. Fixing mechanisms are arranged on the inner walls of the four fixing grooves 5. An annular plate 6 is arranged on the top surface of the protective ring block 3. An annular hole block 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the annular plate 6. The annular hole block 7 is an annular block, and through holes are opened at the four peripheral parts of its inner wall, which can facilitate the limiting and fixing of the fixing block 12. A protective frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the annular plate 6. The protective frame 8 is composed of the cross combination of two arched blocks and has high stability. The protective frame 8 and a waterproof and sound-permeable fabric 9 are combined into a protective cover with a protective structure, which can play a protective role for the transducer body 1. A waterproof and sound-permeable fabric 9 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the protective frame 8. The waterproof and sound-permeable fabric 9 is composed of a composite of a high-molecular waterproof and breathable material and a fabric, which can prevent rainwater from entering the inside of the transducer body 1 and at the same time ensure that the waterproof and sound-permeable fabric 9 does not affect the mutual conversion of electrical energy and sound energy of the transducer body 1. A wiring hole 10 is opened on the left side of the inner wall of the protective ring block 3. A connecting wire 11 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the transducer body 1. The fixing mechanism includes a fixing block 12. The surface of the fixing block 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove 5. One side of the fixing block 12 extends to the inner wall of the annular hole block 7. A connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing block 12. A spring 14 is sleeved on the rod wall of the connecting rod 13. Limiting grooves 15 are opened on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the fixing groove 5. Limiting blocks 16 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting grooves 15. This device can prevent the transducer body 1 from being affected by rainwater and fallen leaves, avoid short circuits of the transducer body 1, ensure the normal use of the transducer body 1, improve the use effect of the wind farm acoustic radar. At the same time, the protective structure of this device is convenient for disassembly, which is convenient for operators to detect and repair the transducer body 1.

[0034] As Figures 1-3As shown, in some embodiments, the left end of the connecting wire 11 extends to one side of the left surface of the protective ring block 3 through the inner wall of the wire hole 10. One end of each of the four connecting rods 13 penetrates through the inner wall of the corresponding fixing groove 5 and extends to one side of the surface of the connecting rod 13. The opposite surfaces of two corresponding limiting grooves 15 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the upper and lower surfaces of the corresponding fixing block 12, which can ensure the normal use of the device, increase the connection relationship between some internal components of the device, and improve the stability between some internal components of the device during use. Clamping grooves 17 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the wire hole 10, and clamping mechanisms are arranged on the inner walls of the two clamping grooves 17. The clamping mechanism includes an elastic sheet 18. The elastic sheet 18 is a metal material with good elasticity and fatigue resistance, which can provide an elastic force to the clamping arc block 19, thereby facilitating the clamping and fixing of the connecting wire 11 by the clamping arc block 19. One side of the elastic sheet 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the clamping groove 17, and the other side of the elastic sheet 18 is provided with a clamping arc block 19. The surface of the clamping arc block 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping groove 17. A moving port 20 is provided on the left side of the inner wall of the clamping groove 17, and a connecting block 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the moving port 20. The right surface of the connecting block 21 is fixedly connected to the left surface of the clamping arc block 19, which can facilitate the fixing and clamping of the connecting wire 11 on the transducer body 1, and prevent the connecting wire 11 on the transducer body 1 from being pulled by an external force and loosening at the connection position with the transducer body 1, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the transducer body 1 and the connecting wire 11.

[0035] As Figures 2-5 As shown, in some embodiments, rubber pads 22 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two clamping arc blocks 19. The rubber pads 22 have good elasticity and wear resistance, which can protect the connecting wire 11 when the clamping arc block 19 clamps and fixes the connecting wire 11, and prevent the clamping arc block 19 from pinching the connecting wire 11. One end of each of the four connecting rods 13 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 23, and a handle 24 is fixedly connected to one surface of each of the four pull plates 23, which can facilitate the operator to pull the connecting rod 13 and reduce the operating force of the operator directly pulling the connecting rod 13, making the device easy to operate. Mounting holes 25 are provided at the four corners of the top surface of the mounting plate 2, which can facilitate the operator to quickly install the device on the wind farm acoustic radar using bolts, making the device easy to install and fix.

[0036] Working principle of the utility model: When this device is in use, the operator uses bolts to quickly install this device with the wind farm acoustic radar through the mounting holes 25. The arrangement of the annular plate 6, the protection frame 8, and the waterproof sound-transmitting fabric 9 can prevent the transducer body 1 from being affected by rainwater and fallen leaves, ensuring the normal use of the transducer body 1, so that the transducer body 1 can normally convert electrical energy and sound energy into each other. When this device needs to be repaired, the operator can pull the handle 24. The handle 24 drives the connecting rod 13 through the pull plate 23. The connecting rod 13 drives the fixing block 12 limited by the limiting groove 15 and the limiting block 16 to squeeze the spring 14 into the interior of the fixing groove 5. The spring 14 undergoes elastic deformation. The fixing block 12 completely entering the interior of the fixing groove 5 releases the limitation on the annular hole block 7, facilitating the operator to remove the annular plate 6, the protection frame 8, and the waterproof sound-transmitting fabric 9, thereby facilitating personnel to conduct regular inspection and maintenance on the transducer body 1. The mechanisms not detailed in this device are all prior arts and will not be elaborated here too much.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the utility model. Therefore, the utility model will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
