Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of rain sensors, in particular to an integrated solar rain sensor. Background Art

[0002] Rain sensors, also known as rain sensors, are typically used in hydrological stations and meteorological stations to monitor rainfall. However, with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart home devices are increasingly being adopted in modern homes, including automatic window opening and closing systems. Automatic window opening and closing systems can detect rainfall by closing the windows during rainfall. The primary tool for detecting rainfall is the rain sensor, which consists of components such as a power supply board, an antenna, and a rain sensor chip. The main component of a rain sensor is the rain sensor chip, which is a pressure-sensitive element. During rainfall, raindrops fall onto the surface of the rain sensor chip due to gravity. The rain sensor detects the weight of the raindrops and determines the rainfall amount. This data is then transmitted to the control unit, which controls the motor to close the window. However, the rain sensor chip is typically housed separately from the power supply board, antenna, and other components within the sensor, resulting in a larger size. Furthermore, since the rain sensor operates in a rainy environment, rainwater can easily seep into the sensor, causing damage to the components. Utility Model Content

They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0028] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated solar rain sensor, comprising: a support portion 1, an energy storage device 2, a control portion 3, and a detection portion 4. The support portion 1 is used to mount the energy storage device 2, the control portion 3, and the detection portion 4. The energy storage device 2 and the control portion 3 are respectively arranged inside the support portion 1, and the detection portion 4 is detachably arranged outside the support portion 1. The detection portion 4 is electrically connected to the control portion 3, the detection portion 4 is electrically connected to the energy storage device 2, and the control portion 3 is electrically connected to the energy storage device 2. The energy storage device 2 is used to store electrical energy; when the solar rain sensor is operating, the control portion 3 can be used to control the motors of structural equipment such as doors and windows; the detection portion 4 is used to detect the amount of rainfall and generate electricity using solar energy. At the same time, the solar-generated electricity is stored through the energy storage device 2, and the energy storage device 2 provides the stored energy to the control portion 3 to power the control portion 3. In this example, the energy storage device 2 is a battery, and the control portion 3 is an MCU.

[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the support portion 1 includes a bracket 11 and a protective box 12. The bracket 11 is hollow. The protective box 12 is disposed within the support portion 1. The interior of the protective box 12 is a hollow structure and is further provided with a partition 121. The partition 121 divides the interior of the protective box 12 into two cavities 122. A limiting groove 1221 is provided in one cavity. The control unit 3 is disposed on the limiting groove 1221, and the energy storage component 2 is disposed in the other cavity 122.

[0031] Thus, the energy storage component 2 is isolated from the control unit 3 to avoid collision between the energy storage component 2 and the control unit 3 , thereby preventing damage to the components. At the same time, the limiting groove 1221 prevents the control unit 3 from shifting.

[0032] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket is further provided with two protection plates 111, which are respectively provided on both sides of the bracket 11. The protection plates 111 are used to protect the energy storage component 2 and the control unit 3, and prevent external pollutants from damaging the internal components.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two isolation plates 112 are also provided on the bracket 11. The two isolation plates 112 are respectively provided on the end surfaces of the two protective plates 111 away from the bracket 11. Since the integrated solar rain sensor is used in harsh environments, such as those with abundant water, the isolation plates 112 are used to isolate water and prevent water from entering the internal components.

[0034] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the detection unit 4 includes a substrate 41, a power generation element 42, a sensing element 43, and a transmission element 44. The power generation element 42, the sensing element 43, and the transmission element 44 are integrated on the substrate 41, thereby reducing the volume of the integrated rain sensor. The power generation element 42 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 2, and the power generation element 42, the sensing element 43, and the transmission element 44 are respectively electrically connected to the control unit 3. It should be noted that during the operation of the integrated solar rain sensor, the power generation element 42 is used to generate electricity and store the electricity in the energy storage element 2, and the control unit 3 is powered by the energy storage element 2. At the same time, the sensing element 43 senses the rainfall and transmits the signal to the control unit 3. The control unit transmits the signal to close the doors and windows to the transmission element. Through the signal transmission function of the transmission element 44, the signal to close the doors and windows is transmitted to the motor, and the motor closes the windows. Among them, the power generation element 42 is a solar panel, the sensing element 43 is a rain sensor, and the transmission element 44 is an RF antenna.

[0035] Furthermore, if Figure 1 The illustrated bracket 11 is in the shape of a triangular prism, with the detection portion 4 disposed on an inclined surface of the bracket 11. Thus, when the integrated solar rain sensor is operating, the detection portion 4 disposed on the inclined surface of the bracket 11 can more accurately detect rainfall. Furthermore, the triangular prism shape provides greater stability, ensuring the stability of the integrated solar rain sensor and better protecting internal components from damage.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a side of the bracket 11 connected to the detection part 4 is further provided with an adhesive layer 113, and the detection part 4 is connected to the bracket 11 through the adhesive layer 113. The adhesive layer 113 is made of adhesive.

[0037] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the detection portion 4 is disposed on an inclined surface of the bracket 11 and is also provided with a protective layer 114. The protective layer 114 is provided around the edge of the detection portion 4. Since the integrated solar rain sensor operates in a rainy environment, to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the adhesive layer 113, thereby degrading the adhesive performance and causing the detection portion 4 to fall off, the protective layer 114 is provided around the edge of the detection portion 4, sealing the edge and preventing rainwater from penetrating into the adhesive layer 113. The protective layer 114 is a waterproof adhesive.

[0038] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a plurality of first mounting holes 1111 are provided on the two protection plates 111, a plurality of second mounting holes 123 are provided on the protection box 12, and a plurality of third mounting holes 115 are provided on the bracket 11. A plurality of connecting holes 1121 are provided on the two isolation plates 112, and each connecting hole 1121 is opposite to each first mounting hole 1111 one by one, wherein the first mounting hole 1111 and the second mounting hole 123 on one side of the protection box 12 of the protection plate 111 are opposite to each other one by one; the first mounting hole 1111 and the third mounting hole 115 on one side of the protection plate 111 are opposite to each other one by one; a connecting member 5 is passed through the first mounting hole 1111, the second mounting hole 123, the third mounting hole 115 and the connecting hole 1121, and the connecting member 5 connects the protection plate 111, the isolation plate 112, the protection box 12 and the bracket 11.

[0039] Connectors secure the connection hole 1121, the first mounting hole 1111, and the second mounting hole 123. This prevents the protective box 12 from shifting within the bracket 11 and potentially damaging internal components. Furthermore, securing the two isolation plates 112 and the two protective plates 111 to the bracket 11 prevents damage to internal components caused by rainwater and contaminants. Furthermore, aligning the connection hole 1121, the first mounting hole 1111, and the second mounting hole 123 reduces the need for connectors and reduces material costs.

[0040] In summary, by integrating the power generation element 42, the sensing element 43 and the transmission element 44 on the substrate 41, the volume of the integrated solar rain sensor can be reduced. At the same time, an isolation plate 112 is added to the support part 1 to isolate external rainwater and pollutants to prevent damage to the internal components of the integrated solar rain sensor.

[0041] The above is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
