Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.
[0027] In the embodiments of the present utility model, "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and back associated objects.
[0028] Example, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 A simple test bracket for a tipping rain gauge, the height of the test bracket 9 is 800 mm, the width is 600 mm, the diameter of the circular through hole is 200 mm, the height adjustment distance between the screw and the threaded hole is 100 mm, the bottom of the test bracket 9 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, the adjusting footrest 12 includes a screw, a locking nut is connected to the screw by a thread, the screw is connected to the threaded hole, the locking nut contacts the bottom of the bracket, and a footrest body is fixed to the bottom of the screw.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the adjusting footrest 12, first loosen the locking nut so that there is a gap between the locking nut and the bracket 9, and then turn the screw to adjust the length of the screw extending out of the bracket 9. The longer the screw extends, the higher the height of the adjusting footrest 12. After the adjustment is completed, tighten the locking nut so that the locking nut is tightly attached to the bottom of the bracket 9, thereby preventing the screw from rotating, and thus completing the adjustment and fixing operations.
[0030] An embedding groove is formed in the inner side of the top of the test bracket 9, and the top plate 8 is embedded in the embedding groove. The top plate 8 is a white acrylic plate.
[0031] By setting the white acrylic plate, on the one hand, it can serve as a tabletop to play a supporting role, and on the other hand, it is convenient for observation. The main body of the test bracket is composed of profiles and bolts fixed. An embedding groove is left on the inner side of the profile of the top frame body, and the top plate 8 can be directly inserted into the embedding groove and then the profile on the opening side can be fixed, thus completing the assembly.
[0032] It includes a top plate 8. A mounting opening is reserved in the middle of the top plate 8. The mounting opening is a circular through hole. A tipping rain gauge is installed above the mounting opening. A drain funnel 13 is installed below the mounting opening. The bottom of the drain funnel 13 is connected to a drain pipe 11. A spirit level 1 is installed on one side of the top plate 8. The top plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the test bracket 9. A plurality of adjusting foot supports 12 are installed at the bottom of the test bracket 9. The adjusting foot supports 12 are threadedly connected to the bottom of the test bracket 9.
[0033] The tipping rain gauge includes a base. The size of the base is smaller than the size of the mounting opening. A plurality of support feet 7 are installed below the base. The support feet 7 support on the top plate 8. The base is provided with a water-blocking peripheral wall 10 that turns up. Drainage openings 3 for avoiding the tipping bucket 6 are formed on both sides of the base. A tipping bucket frame 4 is installed on the base. A tipping bucket 6 is installed on the tipping bucket frame 4. A rain receiving funnel 5 is installed at the top of the tipping bucket frame 4.
[0034] Specifically, a total of 3 support feet 7 are installed. By using 3 support feet 7 to support a plane (the base), the base can be stably supported. Among them, the top of the support foot 7 is welded to the base, and the bottom of the support foot 7 is fixedly connected to the top plate 8 through bolts. The support feet 7 are installed at the edge of the mounting opening, so that the tipping rain gauge is directly above the mounting opening. The water-blocking peripheral wall 10 is a continuous ring to circle the water on the base.
[0035] When it rains, rainwater drops into the rain receiving funnel 5, and then drips from the outlet at the lower part of the rain receiving funnel 5 into the upper cavity of the tipping bucket 6. When the upper cavity of the tipping bucket 6 receives a sufficient amount of rainwater, the upper cavity of the tipping bucket 6 turns downward, and the rainwater in the upper cavity flows out along the outer opening of the tipping bucket and enters the drainage opening 3. The original lower cavity moves upward to become the upper cavity. In this way, it circulates and rotates up and down, receiving rainwater and sending it into the drainage opening 3. Similarly, the rainwater splashing onto the base is circled by the water-blocking peripheral wall 10 and then flows through the drainage opening 3 and flows downward.
[0036] The diameter of the drain funnel 13 is adapted to the diameter of the circular through hole. The drain funnel 13 is provided with a folded edge 2. A strip-shaped groove adapted to the support foot 7 is provided on the folded edge 2. The strip-shaped groove and the top plate 8 form a sunk groove adapted to the support foot 7.
[0037] Specifically, the rainwater discharged downward from the drain outlet 3 first falls into the drain funnel 13 and then is discharged along the drain pipe 11.
[0038] The working principle of this application is as follows: First, level the test bracket 9 by adjusting the footrest 12 so that the spirit level 1 is centered. Subsequently, first place the drain funnel 13 into the circular through-hole. A recycling bucket can be placed below the drain pipe 11 to recycle the test water. Then, insert the feet 7 of the tipping-bucket type rain gauge into the sunk grooves formed by the strip-shaped grooves and the top plate 8 respectively, and zero the cloud platform of the tipping-bucket type rain gauge to be tested so that the cloud platform is level with the base. Thus, the tipping-bucket type rain gauge is in a horizontal state. Subsequently, start the test and pour water into the rain collecting funnel 5 to test the tipping-bucket type rain gauge.
[0039] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model; without conflict, the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
