Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Meteorological parameter acquisition devices are devices used to measure and record meteorological parameters. They are often used in scenarios such as outdoor camping expeditions, scientific expeditions, and battlefields. These devices typically use various sensors to measure different meteorological parameters. For example, temperature sensors measure temperature, humidity sensors measure humidity, and pressure sensors measure atmospheric pressure. These sensors can use different operating principles, such as resistance, capacitance, and thermistor.

[0003] To transmit collected meteorological data to a receiving end or data center, meteorological parameter collection devices typically use various communication technologies, including wired and wireless communication technologies. Wired communication technologies may include Ethernet and serial ports, while wireless communication technologies can include cellular networks, wireless LANs, Bluetooth, and more.

[0004] In order to operate normally and for a long time, the meteorological parameter collection device requires a power supply structure, such as battery power, solar panels, AC power or other feasible power supply methods.

[0006] In extremely low temperatures, existing meteorological parameter collection devices may experience unstable operation or even malfunction. Certain electronic components and sensors may fail due to the low temperatures, resulting in inaccurate data or the inability to collect data. Furthermore, low temperatures can shorten battery life, leading to power supply issues.

[0007] In cold regions, freezing is a common problem, especially for liquid-based sensors like rain gauges and humidity sensors. Freezing can cause the sensor to lose accuracy or fail completely. It can also damage the device's mechanical structure.

[0008] In outdoor environments with drastic temperature fluctuations, high temperatures can negatively impact the stability and reliability of a device. High temperatures can cause electronic components to overheat, shortening their lifespan or leading to device failure. Furthermore, high temperatures can reduce sensor accuracy.

[0009] In harsh environments, meteorological data acquisition devices need to work through remote operation.

[0010] In summary, how to provide a meteorological parameter collection device that can cope with temperature changes in the wild environment is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The technical solution disclosed in the present utility model is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0039] Techniques and methods known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques and methods should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0040] The utility model provides a meteorological parameter collection device 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 160, a top cover 110, a back cover 180, a communication module and a data acquisition module.

[0041] The communication module includes a positioning unit, a wireless communication unit and / or a mobile communication unit.

[0042] The positioning unit includes, by way of example and not limitation, a GPS positioning unit.

[0043] The wireless communication unit includes a low-power local area network wireless communication unit for data transmission with the surrounding network. This wireless communication technology has the advantages of low power consumption, short transmission distance and high data transmission rate, and is suitable for small-scale data transmission and real-time monitoring.

[0044] The mobile communication unit, such as a 4G or 5G communication unit, is used for data transmission in a wireless network environment. This communication method is suitable for large-scale data transmission, enabling remote monitoring and data sharing. 4G communication units are already widely used in meteorological data collection devices, while 5G communication units offer higher transmission rates and lower latency, further improving the efficiency and reliability of data transmission.

[0045] A support column 130 is installed on the wind measurement lower base plate 140 , and the support column 130 is used to support the wind measurement cover plate 120 and the top cover 110 .

[0046] Furthermore, the support column 130 has a hollow inner cavity for accommodating circuit lines. Power lines and signal lines can be laid in the support column 130 to connect the upper and lower circuits.

[0047] Preferably, the meteorological parameter collection device 100 further includes a wind measurement unit, which at least includes a wind measurement cover plate 120 and a wind measurement lower base plate 140 .

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, a wind measuring sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the wind measuring cover plate 120, and the wind speed and / or wind direction are measured by the wind measuring sensor.

[0049] Specifically, the wind sensor may include a hot wire wind speed sensor or an ultrasonic wind speed sensor to measure wind speed.

[0050] Hot wire wind speed sensors use a thin resistor as a heat-sensing element. When wind passes through the resistor, the wind speed causes the temperature of the resistor to change. By measuring the change in resistance of the resistor, the wind speed can be determined.

[0051] Ultrasonic wind speed sensors measure wind speed by using the propagation time of ultrasonic waves. The sensor emits an ultrasonic pulse. When the pulse encounters wind, the wind speed causes the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave to change. By measuring the difference in the ultrasonic wave's propagation time, the wind speed can be determined. Furthermore, using ultrasonic wind speed sensors reduces the number of moving parts required in traditional wind speed measurement, improving reliability.

[0052] Wind sensors can include wind direction sensors, which use either a wind vane or a wind vector sensor to measure wind direction. A wind vane primarily determines wind direction by measuring the direction of the wind's force on the vane. A wind vector sensor, on the other hand, uses multiple sensors to measure wind direction and strength, then calculates the average wind direction to determine wind direction.

[0053] Furthermore, the wind measurement cover plate 120 is provided with a battery structure, a temperature and humidity sensor, a light sensor and / or an air quality sensor for collecting information such as temperature and humidity, light, and air quality.

[0054] The battery structure can be equipped with solar cells, which is suitable for outdoor use.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the wind measurement lower base plate 140 is a concave cover structure, and the concave cover structure protrudes towards the side edge 141 of the aforementioned connecting seat 150, which can cooperate with the edge of the aforementioned connecting seat 150, connect tightly, reduce gaps, and prevent rainwater and dust from entering.

[0056] Optionally, a sealing member, such as a sealing ring, sealant, etc., is provided at the connection between the edge 141 of the wind measuring lower base plate 140 and the edge of the connecting seat 150 to fill the gap and further prevent the entry of dust and rainwater.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the housing 160 and the wind measuring unit are connected to each other via a connecting seat 150 , and the connecting seat 150 can accommodate a signal processing circuit.

[0058] Furthermore, the housing 160 is formed as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6 The design adopts a columnar structure, and protrusions 161 are longitudinally arranged on the outer surface of the columnar structure. In this embodiment, the protrusions 161 are tooth-shaped stripes.

[0059] With such a design, the housing 160 is convenient for heat dissipation in summer, and is also easy to secure the entire meteorological parameter collection device 100 in outdoor conditions.

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, the back cover 180 is provided with a battery slot 182, an SMA coaxial connector (not shown in the figure), a power interface 183 and / or a switch (not shown in the figure).

[0061] A battery pack is placed in the battery slot 182 to provide power.

[0062] SMA coaxial connectors are mainly used to connect 4G or Lora antennas.

[0063] The power interface 183 is an aviation plug that can provide power input and wired communication access.

[0064] The switch is mainly a main power switch and is optionally provided with a power indicator light.

[0065] The power interface 183 and the battery slot 182 are embedded in the back cover 180 , and the back cover 180 provides structural protection.

[0066] Preferably, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the back cover 180 is provided with a battery sleeve 170 which is sleeved on the back cover 180 to protect the battery.

[0067] Furthermore, the battery pack 170 is provided with a temperature control element 171 for controlling the battery temperature. The temperature control element automatically adjusts the temperature based on the internal temperature of the meteorological parameter collection device 100. By way of example and not limitation, when the internal temperature of the battery pack drops below 15°C, the temperature control element activates a normally closed temperature switch, causing the heating element to begin heating, raising the internal temperature of the battery pack to 15°C. When the internal temperature of the battery pack exceeds 15°C, the normally closed temperature switch opens, stopping heating. The heating element may be an electric heating wire and / or an infrared heater.

[0068] As an example and not a limitation, if the battery environment temperature is required to be 10° C., the temperature can also be set by the control unit.

[0069] The ambient temperature of the battery is ensured, thereby extending the battery life in severe cold conditions and improving the adaptability of the meteorological parameter collection device 100 in extreme weather environments.

[0070] The temperature control element also uses a sensor available on the market that can be used for temperature control, such as DS18B20.

[0071] like Figure 9 As shown, the top cover 110 is mounted on the wind measurement cover 120. A cavity with a certain amount of space is formed between the top cover and the wind measurement cover. The cavity accommodates various sensors. The top cover is used to suppress the various sensors installed on the wind measurement cover 120 below the top cover 110, providing structural protection and thus improving the reliability and safety of subsequent meteorological parameter collection. In addition, the top cover 110 is also provided with a hole 111 through which the power and signal cables can enter the housing 160.

[0072] Optionally, the meteorological parameter collection device 100 is made of metal material, which is firm, reliable, and resistant to vibration and collision.

[0073] Specifically, aluminum alloy can be used.

[0074] As an example but not limitation, the communication module is used to receive instruction information sent by a user and / or a user terminal. The instruction information can be a voice message sent by the user or an operation message sent by the user terminal.

[0075] Specifically, when the meteorological parameter collection device 100 is placed at a high altitude and it is inconvenient for the user to operate it at close range, the communication module can collect the user's voice information and convert it into corresponding instructions, and execute the corresponding instructions through the control unit.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 10As shown, the meteorological parameter collection device 100 also includes a support base 190, which is installed on the back cover 180. The support base 190 is provided with a transfer interface. By setting up several transfer interfaces, multiple transfer methods are provided, which can be connected to other external devices and infrastructure to facilitate overall fixation.

[0077] Furthermore, a shock-absorbing structure is provided between the support base 190 and the back cover 180 to provide a shock-absorbing effect.

[0078] By way of example and not limitation, in this embodiment, the shock-absorbing structure is a shock-absorbing spring, which, through the elastic properties of the spring, withstands and buffers vibrations and vibration forces from different directions, thereby reducing the extent to which they are transmitted to the device itself, making the device more stable during operation.

[0079] Specifically, when the meteorological parameter collection device 100 is subjected to external shock or vibration, the spring will be compressed or stretched. When the external shock or vibration stops, the spring will release the stored energy through the restoring force, so that the device returns to its original position.

[0080] In another embodiment, the shock-absorbing structure is a shock-absorbing disc, which is an elastic circular or annular sheet object, usually made of rubber or elastic material.

[0081] Similar to the shock-absorbing mechanism of a shock-absorbing spring, the shock-absorbing disc also uses its own elastic properties to compress or deform when the meteorological parameter collection device 100 is subjected to external shock or vibration, thereby absorbing and reducing the transfer of energy.

[0082] Within the scope of protection intended by the present disclosure, terms such as "including" and "comprising" should be interpreted as inclusive or open-ended rather than exclusive or closed by default, unless expressly defined to the contrary. All technical, scientific, or other terms have the meanings understood by those skilled in the art unless expressly defined to the contrary. Common terms found in dictionaries should not be interpreted in an overly idealistic or unrealistic manner in the context of relevant technical documents, unless expressly defined to that extent by the present disclosure.

[0083] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0084] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
