[0037] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 This application provides an embodiment of a wind cup assembly 100, which is used in a wind sensor and is used to strengthen the connection between multiple cups 20 and a support 10.

[0038] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3In the embodiments of this application, the wind cup assembly 100 includes a bracket 10 and multiple cups 20. The bracket 10 includes a connecting portion 11 and multiple support arms 12. The connecting portion 11 is used to connect to an external power component. The multiple support arms 12 are arranged along the annular direction of the connecting portion 11 and extend outward from the connecting portion 11. The multiple cups 20 are disposed on the outer periphery of the bracket 10 and are arranged circumferentially along the axis of the bracket 10. The multiple cups 20 are respectively connected to the corresponding support arms 12 and connected to the same connecting portion 11 via the support arms 12.

[0039] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In the embodiments of this application, the bracket 10 serves as a support component of the wind cup assembly 100, supporting multiple cups 20. The bracket 10 includes a connecting portion 11 and multiple support arms 12. The connecting portion 11 is connected to an external power component, allowing the external power component to rotate the connecting portion 11, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the bracket 10's position. The multiple support arms 12 are arranged along the annular direction of the connecting portion 11 and extend outward from it. The multiple support arms 12 are used to connect multiple cups 20, increasing the number of connections between the bracket 10 and the cups 20. By extending the distance between the connecting portion 11 and the bracket 10 for the multiple cups 20 through the support arms 12, interference from the external power component with the multiple cups 20 is avoided.

[0040] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In the embodiments of this application, multiple cups 20 are disposed on the outer periphery of the support 10 and arranged circumferentially along the axis of the support 10. Each cup 20 is connected to a corresponding support arm 12 and then connected to the same connecting part 11 via the support arm 12. The multiple cups 20 and the support 10 are integrally formed, ensuring the connection stability between the multiple cups 20 and the support 10, improving the connection strength between the multiple cups 20 and the support 10, avoiding the need for screws to connect the multiple cups 20 to the support 10, preventing the risk of screw loosening, and improving the connection reliability of the wind cup assembly 100. Furthermore, it reduces the number of raw materials for parts, simplifies the production process of parts assembly, reduces labor, material, and time costs, improves material utilization, and reduces waste generation.

[0041] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3, a plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10 are integrally formed by die-casting, so that the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10 are integrally formed by die-casting, ensuring the connection stability between the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10, improving the connection strength between the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10, avoiding the connection of the plurality of cup bodies 20 to the bracket 10 by screws, preventing the risk of screw loosening, and improving the connection reliability of the wind cup assembly 100. Moreover, it reduces the number of raw parts, simplifies the production process of part splicing, reduces labor, material and time costs, improves material utilization rate, and reduces waste generation.

[0042] Alternatively, a plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10 are integrally formed by injection molding, so that the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10 are integrally formed by injection molding, ensuring the connection stability between the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10, improving the connection strength between the plurality of cup bodies 20 and the bracket 10, avoiding the connection of the plurality of cup bodies 20 to the bracket 10 by screws, preventing the risk of screw loosening, and improving the connection reliability of the wind cup assembly 100. Moreover, it reduces the number of raw parts, simplifies the production process of part splicing, reduces labor, material and time costs, improves material utilization rate, and reduces waste generation.

[0043] Please refer to the appendix Figures 1-3 , each cup body 20 is provided with a first mid-plane 21; the support arm 12 is provided with a second mid-plane 121, and the second mid-plane 121 coincides with the first mid-plane 21, so that the support arm 12 is connected to the middle of the cup body 20 and contacts the circumferential side wall of the cup body 20, so as to realize the central arrangement of each cup body 20 relative to the support arm 12, ensuring the smoothness of each cup body 20 during testing and ensuring the testing accuracy of each cup body 20.

[0044] Please refer to the appendix Figures 1-3 , the part of the support arm 12 connected to the cup body 20 extends along the circumferential side wall of the cup body 20 and is connected to multiple positions on the circumferential side wall of the cup body 20, increasing the connection points between the support arm 12 and the cup body 20 and ensuring the connection effect between the support arm 12 and the cup body 20.

[0045] Please refer to the appendix Figures 1-3The cup body 20 is hemispherical and has an opening 20a that is exposed along the annular direction of the connecting part 11. Multiple cup bodies 20 are designated as cup body 201, cup body 202, and cup body 203. When the wind blows from the left, cup body 201 is parallel to the wind direction, and the component of the wind pressure on cup body 201 in the direction most perpendicular to the axis of the support 10 is approximately zero. Cup bodies 202 and 203 intersect at a 60-degree angle with the wind direction. For cup body 202, its opening 20a faces the wind and experiences the greatest wind pressure. Cup body 203, with its convex surface facing the wind, experiences less wind pressure than cup body 202 due to the airflow around it. Because of the pressure difference between cup bodies 202 and 203 in the direction perpendicular to the wind cup axis, cup body 20 begins to rotate clockwise. The greater the wind speed, the greater the initial pressure difference, the greater the acceleration, and the faster the cup body 20 rotates. Optionally, the cup body 20 is arranged in an arc shape or a cone shape.

[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 4 In the embodiments of this application, the cross-section of the support arm 12 is a continuous arc shape and extends to the center vertex of the convex surface of the cup body 20. It is a symmetrical structure, which increases the connection area between the cup body 20 and the support arm 12, can more effectively ensure the connection strength between the cup body 20 and the support arm 12, improve the support strength of the support arm 12 for the cup body 20, and prevent the connection between the cup body 20 and the support arm 12 from breaking when subjected to wind pressure.

[0047] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 5 In the second embodiment, the cross-section of the support arm 12 is rectangular. The support arm 12 is disposed between the connecting part 11 and the cup body 20, and the connecting part 11 and the cup body 20 are reinforced, which ensures the connection stability between the support arm 12, the connecting part 11 and the cup body 20, improves the connection strength between the support arm 12, the connecting part 11 and the cup body 20, further ensures the support effect of the support arm 12 relative to the wind cup, and avoids the breakage at the connection between the support arm 12 and the cup body 20.

[0048] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 6 In the third embodiment, the cross-section of the support arm 12 is elliptical and convex, which ensures that the support arm 12 can be integrated with the cup body 20 through a snap-fit ​​mechanism, so that the cup body 20 is restricted by the support arm 12 in multiple directions, further strengthening the connection strength between the support arm 12 and the cup body 20.

[0049] In another embodiment, a wind sensor includes a wind cup assembly 100, which is part of the wind sensor used to measure wind direction and provide a corresponding output signal or indication.
