Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind and sand monitoring, specifically a sand collector. Background Technology

[0002] Wind and sand monitoring involves the long-term, systematic, and continuous monitoring, analysis, and forecasting of terrestrial wind and sand environmental factors such as sandstorms, windy weather, and related disasters. It primarily observes dust particles and meteorological conditions, and uses relevant technologies to issue early warnings. Wind and sand monitoring contributes to scientific disaster prevention and mitigation, and provides a scientific basis for government decision-making departments to formulate environmental protection policies and plan ecological restoration projects.

[0003] As the environment changes, people are increasingly aware of the importance of the ecological environment. Monitoring instruments in the field of wind erosion are generally expensive and cannot meet the requirements of long-term, large-capacity collection of wind and sand. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a wind erosion monitoring instrument for areas with severe wind erosion. Utility Model Content

The right-angle bend is fixed to the top of the flip cover and is designed to pass through the flip cover and communicate with the collection bucket.

[0006] Preferably, the collection bucket includes a cylindrical body, a conical counterweight base, and a partition plate. The conical counterweight base is fixed to the bottom end of the cylindrical body, and the partition plate is centrally fixed inside the cylindrical body. The internal space of the cylindrical body is divided by the partition plate to form a first collection chamber and a second collection chamber. The first collection chamber and the second collection chamber have the same volume. The outer wall of the cylindrical body is rotatably connected to a limiting rod via a rotating shaft. The limiting rod is provided in six sets and is evenly distributed on the outer wall of the cylindrical body.

[0007] Preferably, the flip cover includes a first cover and a second cover, which are rotatably mounted on the outer side of the top of the collection bucket via a rotating shaft, and the first cover and the second cover are designed to open in opposite directions.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a sand collector, including a collection bucket 1, a flip cover 2 and a right-angle bend 3. The collection bucket 1 is hollow inside. The bottom side of the flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the top side of the collection bucket 1 through a rotating shaft. The right-angle bend 3 is fixed to the top of the flip cover 2. The right-angle bend 3 is designed to pass through the flip cover 2 and communicate with the collection bucket 1.

[0026] The right-angle bend 3 of this sand collector can collect horizontal wind sand at different heights at the same time. When sampling, the flip cover 2 can be opened to observe the amount collected in the collection bucket 1. This sand collector is simple to manufacture and has a low cost, making it convenient for large-scale manufacturing and installation in areas with severe wind erosion.

[0027] The collection tank 1 includes a cylindrical body 11, a conical counterweight base 12, and a partition plate 13. The conical counterweight base 12 is fixed to the bottom end of the cylindrical body 11, and the partition plate 13 is fixed in the center inside the cylindrical body 11. The internal space of the cylindrical body 11 is divided by the partition plate 13 to form a first collection chamber 14 and a second collection chamber 15. The first collection chamber 14 and the second collection chamber 15 have the same volume. The outer wall of the cylindrical body 11 is rotatably connected to a limiting rod 16 through a rotating shaft. The limiting rod 16 is provided in six sets and is evenly distributed on the outer wall of the cylindrical body 11.

[0028] When in use, the collection bucket 1 is inserted into the sand pit using the conical counterweight base 12. The bottom of the conical counterweight base 12 is designed as a cone, which can be inserted into the sand pit to fix the equipment. The solid design can lower the overall center of gravity. When the collection bucket 1 is inserted into the sand pit, the limiting rod 16 will unfold outward under the action of sand friction and be inserted into the sand pit, increasing the contact area between the collection bucket 1 and the sand pit. After installation, the collection bucket 1 will not tip over.

[0029] The flip cover 2 includes a first cover 21 and a second cover 22. The first cover 21 and the second cover 22 are respectively rotatably installed on the outer side of the top of the collection bucket 1 via a rotating shaft. The first cover 21 and the second cover 22 are designed to open in opposite directions.

[0030] One end of the first cover plate 21 covers one end of the surface of the second cover plate 22, and the two are placed on top of the partition plate 13 with their surfaces overlapping each other.

[0031] The first collection chamber 14 and the second collection chamber 15 correspond to the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 respectively. When placed outdoors, excess wind and sand will enter the collection bucket 1 through the gap between the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22, thus affecting the measurement results. The design of the first cover plate 21 and the second cover plate 22 is such that the gap is a bent structure, so even if the gap is filled with sand, it will not enter the collection bucket 1, resulting in higher accuracy.

[0032] The right-angle bend 3 includes a short pipe collecting pipe 31 and a long pipe collecting pipe 32. The short pipe collecting pipe 31 is fixed to the top of the first cover plate 21, and the long pipe collecting pipe 32 is fixed to the top of the second cover plate 22.

[0033] The short pipe collecting pipe 31 and the long pipe collecting pipe 32 have the same structure. The bottom outer side of the long pipe collecting pipe 32 is fixedly fitted with an annular protective sleeve 34. The pipe opening of the long pipe collecting pipe 32 is provided with a recessed sand inlet 33. The inner walls of both the short pipe collecting pipe 31 and the long pipe collecting pipe 32 are provided with openings. A hollow exhaust plate 35 is fixed in each set of openings.

[0034] The mesh on the surface of the perforated exhaust plate 35 can intercept sand particles, allowing only wind to pass through. The design of the annular sheath 34 can reduce the accumulation of sand particles on the surface of the flip-top cover 2, preventing overall burial. The design of the recessed sand inlet 33, compared to the previous flat pipe opening, can increase the contact surface with wind and sand, thereby expanding the contact surface for collecting wind and sand. After entering the collection pipe, the wind and sand can directly enter the corresponding collection chamber. The first collection chamber 14 is responsible for storing the sand collected by the relatively low short collection pipe 31, and the second collection chamber 15 is responsible for storing the sand collected by the higher long collection pipe 32. After collection is completed, the first cover 21 and the second cover 22 are flipped open. By observing the sand stored in the first collection chamber 14 and the second collection chamber 15, the impact of different altitude levels on the amount of wind and sand in this area can be analyzed.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention, including the claims, is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0036] The present invention is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
