Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lightning protection, and in particular relates to a lightning protection device for meteorological monitoring equipment. Background Art

[0002] Meteorological monitoring refers to the activities of meteorological monitoring agencies to conduct comprehensive monitoring and early warning of meteorological environmental conditions through meteorological monitoring systems. The meteorological monitoring system monitors and reports indicators that reflect meteorological quality to determine meteorological environmental data such as rainfall, wind speed and direction in the area, predict meteorological changes, and smoothly solve current major meteorological problems to serve meteorological management.

[0003] However, most meteorological monitoring equipment is installed in open areas outdoors. When encountering thunderstorms, isolated meteorological monitoring equipment is prone to lightning strikes, which can easily lead to malfunction and damage of the meteorological monitoring equipment, not only affecting the normal monitoring work in the area, but also causing certain economic losses.

[0004] The utility model patent, publication number CN 217848630 U, discloses a lightning protection device for meteorological monitoring equipment, comprising: a support base, with side support rods fixedly connected to the top plate on both sides of the support base, the top of the side support rods fixedly connected to the top plate, and a counterweight fixedly connected to the other end of the side rain shield, which attracts magnets one and two; an upper lead holder mounted above the top plate, a lightning rod mounted above the upper lead holder, and an alarm light mounted in the middle of the top plate; a motor mounted in the middle of the support base, the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to the monitoring equipment; side support columns hinged on both sides of the support base, the bottom ends of the side support columns hinged to the base, and a lower lead holder electrically connected to the upper lead holder mounted below the support base, with a foldable lightning protection grounding column fixedly connected below the lower lead holder. While this technical solution provides lightning protection through the lightning rod and grounding column, achieving good lightning protection, the counterweight is attracted to magnet two by lowering the side rain shield, providing good rain protection and ensuring good monitoring results. However, the monitoring equipment in the above technical solution is fixedly connected to the motor, which makes it inconvenient to install and disassemble the monitoring equipment, and thus inconvenient to repair it; and although the device can be used to block rain, in thunderstorm weather, strong winds are enough to damage the device, and the large area of ​​the device that blocks rain increases the chance of damage to the device by strong winds.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a lightning protection device for meteorological monitoring equipment, comprising a base 1 and a lightning protection mechanism 2. A support column 3 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a placement plate 4 is provided on the top of the support column 3. A meteorological monitoring device 5 is placed on the placement plate 4. The placement plate 4 is provided with a fixing mechanism 6 for fixing the meteorological monitoring device 5. A protection mechanism 7 for protecting the meteorological monitoring device 5 is rotatably provided on the placement plate 4. The meteorological monitoring device 5 in this embodiment is an existing meteorological monitoring device. As long as it can realize the meteorological monitoring function, this embodiment does not involve any improvement to its structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the fixing mechanism 6 includes a first motor 601, a placement cavity 602, an adjustment mechanism 603, a connecting mechanism 604 and two fixed plates 605. The first motor 601 is arranged at the bottom of the placement plate 4. Specifically, a protective shell 8 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 4, and the first motor 601 is arranged inside the protective shell 8; the placement cavity 602 is opened inside the placement plate 4, the adjustment mechanism 603 and the connecting mechanism 604 are arranged inside the placement cavity 602, and the adjustment mechanism 603 and the connecting mechanism 604 are connected; the adjustment mechanism 603 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 601, and the two fixed plates 605 are symmetrically and vertically arranged above the placement plate 4. Two sliding grooves 606 are symmetrically opened on the top of the placement plate 4, and the bottom of the sliding groove 606 is connected to the placement cavity 602. The connecting mechanism 604 passes through the sliding groove 606 and is connected to the two fixed plates 605.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 604 includes a first bidirectional screw rod 6041, two first threaded blocks 6042 and two sliding blocks 6043. The two ends of the first bidirectional screw rod 6041 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two opposite sides of the placement cavity 602. The first bidirectional screw rod 6041 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 603. Specifically, the first bevel gear 6031 is provided on the first bidirectional screw rod 6041. The two first threaded blocks 6042 are respectively provided at positions with different thread directions on the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, and the two first threaded blocks 6042 are respectively provided at positions with different thread directions on the first bidirectional screw rod 6041. The bottom of the two sliding blocks 6043 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the placement cavity 602. Through such a design, when the first bidirectional screw rod 6041 rotates, due to the limiting effect of the placement cavity 602, the two first threaded blocks 6042 cannot rotate synchronously with the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, so the two first threaded blocks 6042 will move closer to or away from each other along the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, and the bottoms of the two sliding blocks 6043 are respectively connected to the tops of the corresponding first threaded blocks 6042, and the tops are connected to the corresponding fixed plates 605 through the sliding grooves 606.

[0029] When the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 needs to be fixed or removed, the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 is placed on the placement plate 4 and located between the two fixing plates 605. Then the first bidirectional screw rod 6041 is rotated so that the two first threaded blocks 6042 move closer to or away from each other along the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, thereby fixing the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 or facilitating the removal of the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 for maintenance.

[0030] In this embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 603 includes a first bevel gear 6031, a second bevel gear 6032 and a rotating shaft 6033. The first bevel gear 6031 is arranged on the connecting mechanism 604. Specifically, the first bevel gear 6031 is arranged on the first bidirectional screw 6041, the second bevel gear 6032 is engaged with the first bevel gear 6031, and the rotating shaft 6033 is connected to the second bevel gear 6032. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 6033 passes through the placement plate 4 and extends to the interior of the protective shell 8, and then is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 601.

[0031] During actual use, the first motor is started to drive the rotating shaft 6033 and the second bevel gear 6032 to rotate. Under the action of the meshing force, the first bevel gear 6031 and the first bidirectional screw rod 6041 are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby making the two first threaded blocks 6042 move closer to or away from each other along the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, thereby fixing the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 or facilitating the removal of the meteorological monitoring equipment 5 for maintenance.

[0032] In this embodiment, the protective mechanism 7 comprises an annular protective plate 701, an annular groove 702, a shielding mechanism, and multiple sliders 703. The annular protective plate 701 is disposed above the placement plate 4, and the annular groove 702 is formed on the outer surface of the placement plate 4. Multiple sliders 703 are spaced apart at the bottom of the inner wall of the annular protective plate 701 and rotatably disposed within the annular groove 702. The shielding mechanism is disposed on the top of the annular protective plate 701. In the specific design, the movable ends of the sliders 703 in this embodiment are hemispherical structures. This structural design allows the annular protective plate 701 to rotate along the annular groove 702 via the sliders 703 in the event of strong winds, thereby preventing damage to the protective mechanism from the strong winds.

[0033] Furthermore, the shielding mechanism includes a second bidirectional screw rod 704, a second motor 705, two second threaded blocks 706 and two shielding plates 707. The second motor 705 is arranged at the top of the inner wall of the annular protective plate 701. One end of the second bidirectional screw rod 704 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular protective plate 701, and the other end is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 705. The two second threaded blocks 706 are respectively arranged at positions with different thread directions on the second bidirectional screw rod 704. The two shielding plates 707 are placed on the top of the annular protective plate 701. The shielding plate 707 can slide along the top of the annular protective plate 701 to realize the closing or opening of the two shielding plates 707; and the bottoms of the two shielding plates 707 are respectively connected to the tops of the corresponding second threaded blocks 706.

[0034] When extreme weather such as rain and snow occurs, the second motor 705 starts, driving the second bidirectional screw 704 to rotate. Due to the limiting effect of the annular protective plate 701, the second threaded block 706 and the baffle 707 cannot rotate synchronously, and the two second threaded blocks 706 move closer to each other along the second bidirectional screw 704 until the two baffles 707 are closed together, turning off the second motor 705, thereby realizing closed protection of the meteorological monitoring equipment 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lightning protection mechanism 2 includes a lightning rod 201, an upper lead holder 202, a lower lead holder 203, and a grounding post 204. The upper lead holder 202 is disposed on the top of one of the shielding plates 707, the lightning rod 201 is disposed on the upper lead holder 202, and the lower lead holder 203 is disposed on the bottom of the placement plate 4. The upper lead holder 202 and the lower lead holder 203 are connected by a lightning lead, and the grounding post 204 is connected to the lower lead holder 203. When a thunderstorm occurs, the current generated by the lightning strike is conducted underground through the lightning rod 201, the upper lead holder 202, the lower lead holder 203, and the grounding post 204, thereby preventing the lightning strike from affecting the meteorological monitoring equipment 5.

[0036] The working principle of the lightning protection device for meteorological monitoring equipment provided by the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0037] When in use, the meteorological monitoring device 5 is placed on the placement plate 4 from the top opening of the annular protective plate 701, and the meteorological monitoring device 5 is located between the two fixed plates 605, and the first motor 601 is started to drive the rotating shaft 6033 and the second bevel gear 6032 to rotate. Under the action of the meshing force, the first bevel gear 6031 and the first bidirectional screw rod 6041 are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the two first threaded blocks 6042 move closer to each other along the first bidirectional screw rod 6041, thereby fixing the meteorological monitoring device 5; then the meteorological monitoring device 5 is used to monitor the weather. When extreme weather such as rain, snow, and hail occurs, the second motor 705 is started to drive the second bidirectional screw rod 6041 to rotate. When the rod 704 rotates, due to the limiting effect of the annular protective plate 701, the second threaded block 706 and the baffle 707 cannot rotate synchronously, so that the two second threaded blocks 706 move closer to each other along the second bidirectional screw rod 704 until the two baffles 707 are closed together, and the second motor 705 is turned off, thereby realizing closed protection of the meteorological monitoring equipment 5, preventing rain, snow, hail, etc. from entering the annular baffle 11 and damaging the meteorological monitoring equipment 5; when thunderstorms occur, the current generated by the lightning strike is introduced into the ground through the lightning rod 201, the upper lead seat 202, the lower lead seat 203 and the grounding column 204, thereby preventing the lightning strike from affecting the meteorological monitoring equipment 5.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
