The configuration of meteorological observation elements can be flexibly configured according to the actual situation of the project.
[0003] Small weather stations typically consist of a mounting plate, support columns, crossbars, and multiple sets of sensors. During installation, the support columns are often too tall, requiring installers to apply significant stress to ensure they are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. This reduces the safety of the installation and makes the process time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly decreasing installation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a small weather station for agricultural data collection, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the excessive height of the supporting poles, which causes installers to exert a large force when raising the supporting poles to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, reducing the installation safety of the small weather station, and making the installation of the small weather station time-consuming and laborious, greatly reducing the installation efficiency of the small weather station.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a small weather station for agricultural data collection, comprising a mounting plate, a supporting base rod fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate, a distribution box fixedly mounted on the surface of the supporting base rod, a rotating mechanism provided on the surface of the supporting base rod, the rotating mechanism including a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate, a supporting rod fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, a limit bolt through a hole connected to the bottom of the supporting rod, a fixing nut fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting base rod, the limit bolt threadedly connected to the fixing nut, a heightening mechanism provided at the top of the supporting rod, the heightening mechanism including an extension rod slidably connected to the top of the supporting rod, a crossbar fixedly connected to the surface of the extension rod, a sensor mounted on the surface of the crossbar, an adjusting screw rotatably connected to the inner surface of the extension rod, the bottom of the adjusting screw threadedly connected to the top of the supporting rod, and a handwheel fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw.
[0006] Preferably, the surface of the support base rod is provided with a groove, and the groove is in the shape of an inverted "L". The middle part of the support rod rotates on the top of the groove of the support base rod via the support rod.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the support rod is rotated and engaged with the groove of the support base rod.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the groove of the support base rod is provided with a circular hole, the bottom of the support rod is provided with a circular hole, the limiting bolt passes through both the circular hole of the support base rod and the circular hole of the support rod, and the fixing nut restricts the support rod on the groove of the support base rod through the limiting bolt.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the extension rod is provided with a guide groove, the extension rod slides and rises and falls on the top of the support rod through the guide groove, and the extension rod drives the sensor to rise and fall synchronously through the crossbar.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the support rod is provided with a threaded groove, and the bottom of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the threaded groove of the support rod. The adjusting screw drives the extension rod to slide and rise on the outer surface of the support rod by rotation.
[0011] Preferably, the adjusting screw rotates at the top of the inner surface of the extension rod via a bearing, and the top of the adjusting screw is fixedly connected to the crossbar and the handwheel, with the handwheel located on the surface of the crossbar.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. This small weather station first raises the base support rod to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the support rod and extension rod are rotated to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, with the bottom of the support rod rotating into the groove of the base support rod. A limiting bolt is then inserted through the circular hole in the support rod and the circular hole at the bottom of the base support rod, so that the limiting bolt is threaded onto the fixing nut. The fixing nut rotates the position of the support rod in the groove of the base support rod through the limiting bolt, thus making the support vertical rod composed of the base support rod, support rod, and extension rod perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Through these two operations on the support vertical rod, and by using the lever principle, the force required to straighten the support vertical rod is greatly reduced, the installation difficulty of the support vertical rod is reduced, the installation safety of the support vertical rod is improved, and the installation efficiency of the small weather station is also improved.
[0014] 2. In this small weather station, when the support rod is perpendicular to the base support rod, the extension rod is also perpendicular to the base support rod. The angle between the crossbar and the sensor height is adjusted by rotating the handwheel on the crossbar, which drives the adjusting screw to rotate on the threaded groove at the top of the support rod. The adjusting screw drives the extension rod to slide on the outer surface of the support rod, thereby changing the relative positional relationship between the support rod and the extension rod. After the support rod and the extension rod are perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the extension rod increases the height of the crossbar and the sensor on the support rod, thus raising the sensor away from the ground and enabling the sensor to better detect changes in agricultural data.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of a small weather station for agricultural data collection, comprising a mounting plate 1, a supporting base rod 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 1, a distribution box 12 fixedly mounted on the surface of the supporting base rod 11, a rotating mechanism comprising a rotating shaft 2 rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate 1, a supporting rod 21 fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 2, a limit bolt 22 being perforated and connected to the bottom of the supporting rod 21, a fixing nut 23 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting base rod 11, the limit bolt 22 being threadedly connected to the fixing nut 23, a raising mechanism comprising an extension rod 24 slidably connected to the top of the supporting rod 21, a crossbar 25 fixedly connected to the surface of the extension rod 24, and a sensor 2 mounted on the surface of the crossbar 25. 6. An adjusting screw 27 is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the extension rod 24. The bottom of the adjusting screw 27 is threadedly connected to the top of the support rod 21. A handwheel 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting screw 27. The support rod of this small weather station consists of a support base rod 11, a support rod 21, and an extension rod 24. The support base rod 11 can be first straightened to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and then the support rod 21 and the extension rod 24 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Through two operations on the support rod and the use of the lever principle, the straightening force of the support rod is greatly reduced, the installation difficulty of the support rod is reduced, the installation safety of the support rod is improved, and the installation efficiency of the small weather station is improved. In addition, the heightening mechanism can increase the height of the crossbar 25, thereby changing the height of the sensor 26, reducing the influence of the ground environment, and enabling the sensor 26 to better detect changes in agricultural data.
[0024] The support rod 11 has a groove on its surface, which is inverted "L" shape. The middle part of the support rod 21 rotates on the top of the groove of the support rod 11. The end of the support rod 21 near the extension rod 24 is heavier. The support rod 21 forms a lever on the top of the support rod 11, allowing the operator to easily drive the support rod 21 to rotate on the top of the support rod 11. The support rod 21 can rotate 90 degrees on the top of the support rod 11. The bottom of the support rod 21 is connected to the groove of the support rod 11 by rotation and engagement. The groove of the support rod 11 accommodates the bottom of the support rod 21, so that the bottom of the support rod 21 and the support rod 11 coincide.
[0025] A circular hole is formed at the bottom of the groove of the support rod 11, and a circular hole is formed at the bottom of the support rod 21. A limiting bolt 22 passes through both the circular holes of the support rod 11 and the support rod 21. A fixing nut 23 restricts the support rod 21 on the groove of the support rod 11 through the limiting bolt 22. At this time, both the support rod 11 and the support rod 21 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The support rod 11, the support rod 21, and the extension rod 24 form a supporting vertical rod. A guide groove is formed at the bottom of the extension rod 24. The extension rod 24 slides and rises and falls on the top of the support rod 21 through the guide groove. The extension rod 24 drives the sensor 26 to rise and fall synchronously through the crossbar 25, thereby changing the horizontal height of the sensor 26 and increasing its horizontal height.
[0026] The support rod 21 has a threaded groove at its top. The bottom of the adjusting screw 27 is threaded onto the threaded groove of the support rod 21. The adjusting screw 27 drives the extension rod 24 to slide and rise on the outer surface of the support rod 21 by rotation. After rotation, the adjusting screw 27 is restricted by the threaded groove of the support rod 21, thereby limiting the height of the extension rod 24 on the support rod 21, thus ensuring the horizontal height of the crossbar 25 and the sensor 26. The adjusting screw 27 rotates at the top of the inner surface of the extension rod 24 via a bearing. The top of the adjusting screw 27 passes through the crossbar 25 and is fixedly connected to the handwheel 28. The handwheel 28 is located on the surface of the crossbar 25. When the support rod 21 is perpendicular to the support base rod 11, the height of the crossbar 25 is relatively low, and the handwheel 28 can be rotated on the crossbar 25, thereby driving the adjusting screw 27 to rotate.
[0027] Working principle: First, the support base rod 11 is straightened to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Then, the support rod 21 and the extension rod 24 are rotated to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The bottom of the support rod 21 is rotated into the groove of the support base rod 11. The limiting bolt 22 is passed through the circular hole of the support rod 21 and the circular hole at the bottom of the support base rod 11, so that the limiting bolt 22 is threaded onto the fixing nut 23. The fixing nut 23 rotates the position of the support rod 21 in the groove of the support base rod 11 through the limiting bolt 22, so that the support vertical rod composed of the support base rod 11, support rod 21 and extension rod 24 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Through two operations on the support vertical rod and the use of the lever principle, the straightening force of the support vertical rod is greatly reduced, the installation difficulty of the support vertical rod is reduced, the installation safety of the support vertical rod is improved, and the installation efficiency of the small weather station is also improved.
[0028] When the support rod 21 is perpendicular to the support base rod 11, the extension rod 24 is also perpendicular to the support base rod 11. The height angle between the crossbar 25 and the sensor 26 is adjusted by rotating the handwheel 28 on the crossbar 25, which drives the adjusting screw 27 to rotate on the threaded groove at the top of the support rod 21. The adjusting screw 27 drives the extension rod 24 to slide on the outer surface of the support rod 21 by rotating, thereby changing the relative positional relationship between the support rod 21 and the extension rod 24. After the support rod 21 and the extension rod 24 are perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the extension rod 24 increases the height of the crossbar 25 and the sensor 26 on the support rod 21, thereby making the sensor 26 farther away from the ground, and thus enabling the sensor 26 to better detect changes in agricultural data.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
