[0014] Furthermore, the rain shield ring is bolted to the fixing block, the measuring chamber body is bolted to the sliding frame, and the sliding frame is made of stainless steel.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rainproof ring can more firmly fix the fixing block, the measuring chamber body can more stably fix the sliding frame, and the sliding frame can better bear the weight of the observation dome.

[0016] Furthermore, the chute is formed on the sliding frame, the chute is slidably connected to the pulley, and the pulley is bolted to the fixing block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing block can more securely fix the pulley below the rainproof ring, and the sliding groove and the pulley can make it easier for the observation dome to slide and move.

[0018] Furthermore, the sliding frame is welded to the fixed plate, the fixed plate is bolted to the winch, and the winch and the rain guard are both tied to the wire rope.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can securely fix the second winch to the other end of the sliding frame. The rewinding of the second winch can pull the second wire rope back, allowing the observation dome to cover and close the main body of the observation chamber again when astronomical observation is not being conducted.

[0022] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0023] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0024] To address the problem in existing observatory optical measurement chambers where the weight of the observation dome during operation causes significant pressure on the tilting mechanism, making it more susceptible to damage and affecting the dome's opening function, this invention addresses this issue by symmetrically arranging sliding frames on the chamber body. During astronomical observation, a winch is activated to wind up a pair of steel wire ropes. The tension generated by the winding of these ropes pulls the rain guard ring, allowing it to slide through pulleys in grooves within the sliding frames, thus opening the observation dome. This ensures the weight of the dome is evenly distributed between the two sliding frames, preventing damage caused by a single component bearing the weight and ensuring the dome's opening function remains functional.
