[0002] Meteorological observation is the scientific activity of studying, measuring, and observing the physical and chemical properties and phenomena of the Earth's atmosphere. It utilizes various observation platforms and instruments to directly measure or remotely sense atmospheric elements such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction and speed, as well as specific items such as clouds, precipitation, radiation, and atmospheric composition, providing basic data for weather forecasting, climate analysis, and meteorological disaster monitoring.

[0003] In order to quickly and conveniently observe atmospheric wind direction, a foldable meteorological wind vane is needed.

[0004] Current meteorological wind vanes typically consist of a long pole and a top wind vane that rotates with the wind direction. They can usually only be fixed in a designated location and are inconvenient to move around. When it is necessary to observe the wind direction at random outdoor locations, current meteorological wind vanes are not easy to carry and cannot be used for observation. They are inconvenient to use and cannot quickly observe the wind direction in outdoor areas. Therefore, a foldable meteorological wind vane is proposed to solve the above problems.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a foldable weather vane, including a storage tube 1 for easy storage of the vane. A lifting assembly is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the storage tube 1. The lifting assembly includes a sealing cylinder 2, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the storage tube 1. A one-way valve 3 is provided on the left side of the sealing cylinder 2, which allows gas to enter the interior of the sealing cylinder 2 but prevents gas from escaping from the interior. A valve core 4 is provided on the right side of the sealing cylinder 2. Pressing the valve core 4 allows the sealing cylinder 2 to communicate with the outside. A sealing slide rod 5 is slidably connected inside the sealing cylinder 2, restricting the sealing slide rod 5 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the sealing cylinder 2. A rotating seat 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting assembly, and the bottom end of the rotating seat 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the sealing slide rod 5. The rotating seat 6 and the sealing slide rod 5 are connected by a bearing, resulting in low friction.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-4Both sides of the rotating seat 6 are fixedly connected to connecting rods 7 for fixed connection. A hinge rod 9 is hinged to the outside of the connecting rod 7 via a rotating pin 8. The hinge rod 9 can rotate up and down around the rotating pin 8. An arrow 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the right hinge rod 9, pointing in the direction of the wind. A tail fin 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the left hinge rod 9. The tail fin 11 is relatively large and will rotate under the thrust of the wind, causing the arrow 10 to point in the direction of the wind. A limiting sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the hinge rod 9. A limiting ring 14 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 12 via a limiting spring 13. When the limiting ring 14 is not under force, the limiting spring 13 will push the limiting ring 14 inward. One end of the limiting spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side of the limiting sleeve 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outside of the limiting ring 14. The outer periphery of the limiting ring 14 is slidably connected to a limiting ring. Inside the positioning sleeve 12, the limiting sleeve 12 restricts the limiting ring 14 to slide only left and right along the inner wall of the limiting sleeve 12. The inner side of the limiting ring 14 contacts the positioning sleeve 15. The positioning sleeve 15 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the connecting rod 7 and the outer periphery of the hinge rod 9. When the positioning sleeve 15 slides to the hinge point of the hinge rod 9 and the connecting rod 7, the hinge rod 9 and the connecting rod 7 will be fixed to maintain a straight line. The positioning sleeve 15 has a sliding groove 16 inside, an annular groove 17 inside the sliding groove 16, and a positioning groove 18 outside the annular groove 17. The outer periphery of the rotating pin 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 16, the annular groove 17, and the positioning groove 18. The sliding groove 16 and the positioning groove 18 are perpendicular to each other at a 90-degree angle. When the rotating pin 8 rotates into the positioning groove 18, it will be stuck inside the positioning groove 18, fixing the positioning sleeve 15.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The storage tube 1 has connecting rings 19 fixedly connected to both the top and bottom sides. The outer side of the connecting rings 19 is threaded, and the outer circumference of the connecting rings 19 is threaded with a sealing cap 20 to seal both ends of the storage tube 1. The bottom end of the storage tube 1 is fixedly connected to a suction cup 21. The bottom surface of the suction cup 21 protrudes from the connecting rings 19 and is located inside the sealing cap 20. Pressing the suction cup 21 can fix the storage tube 1 on a smooth surface.

[0034] Working principle: When you want to easily remove the wind vane, lift the sealing slide rod 5 upwards. The sealing slide rod 5 slides upwards, and at this time, outside air will enter the interior of the sealing slide rod 5 through the one-way valve 3. Release the sealing slide rod 5, and the sealing slide rod 5 will not slide down under the action of air. Then lift the two hinge rods 9 upwards, so that the hinge rods 9 and the connecting rod 7 are in a straight line. Align the sliding groove 16 with the position of the rotating pin 8, and slide the positioning sleeve 15 outwards. The positioning sleeve 15 slides outwards to the connection point of the hinge rod 9 and the connecting rod 7. At the same time, push the limiting ring 14 outwards. The limiting spring 13 is compressed. When the rotating pin 8 slides to the innermost side of the sliding groove 16, the rotating pin 8 enters the ring groove 17. At this time, the positioning sleeve 15 is rotated 90 degrees so that the positioning groove 18 is opposite to the rotating pin 8. Then, the hand is released, the limiting spring 13 is released from compression, and the limiting ring 14 is pushed to the left. The limiting ring 14 pushes the positioning sleeve 15 inward, so that the rotating pin 8 is engaged in the interior of the positioning groove 18, thereby aligning the arrowhead 10 and the tail fin 11 in a straight line. At this time, the wind vane can be easily opened and raised to a high position for easy carrying and observation of wind direction outdoors. When you want to fix the wind vane on a smooth surface, rotate the lower sealing cover 20 to open it, and then press down on the suction cup 21 to make it adhere to the smooth surface. This allows the wind vane to be easily fixed in the desired location for observation, making it quite convenient to use.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
