[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0024] Some embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted laser cloud height meter, including: a main body 100 and a cleaning mechanism 200.

[0027] The main body 100 includes a base 110, an annular seat 130 rotatably sleeved on the base 110, a drive component 120 fixed on one side of the base 110, a transmission belt 140 with one end sleeved on the drive component 120 and the other end sleeved on the annular seat 130, support rods 150 symmetrically fixed on the annular seat 130, a mounting frame 160 rotatably mounted on the opposite support rod 150, a second motor 170 fixed on one side of the support rod 150 and whose shaft is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 160, an angle sensor 180 fixed on the other side of the support rod 150 and fixedly connected to the mounting frame 160, and a ceilometer body 190 fixed inside the mounting frame 160.

[0028] The base 110 is fixed to the vehicle and is used to install the annular seat 130 and ensure the stability of the annular seat 130 during rotation. The drive unit 120 is used to drive the annular seat 130 to rotate. It includes a bracket 121 fixed to one side of the base 110, a first motor 122 mounted on the bracket 121, and a pulley 123 fixedly sleeved on the shaft of the first motor 122. A belt groove 131 is opened on the outer side of the annular seat 130. One end of the transmission belt 140 is sleeved on the pulley 123 and the other end is sleeved on the belt groove 131. When the first motor 122 is started, it drives the pulley 123 to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 123 drives the annular seat 130 to rotate through the transmission belt 140.

[0029] The annular seat 130 is rotatably sleeved on the base 110 to fix the support rod 150. The support rod 150 is used to set the mounting frame 160 and to drive the mounting frame 160 to rotate synchronously when the annular seat 130 rotates.

[0030] The mounting frame 160 is used to fix the main body 190 of the astronomical observatory and to drive the main body 190 of the astronomical observatory to adjust its orientation. The mounting frame 160 includes a frame 161 set between the relative support rods 150 and rotating shafts 162 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the frame 161. The rotating shafts 162 are rotatably fitted onto the support rods 150 to facilitate stable rotation of the frame 161. The shaft of the second motor 170 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 162 on one side of the frame 161, so that when the second motor 170 rotates, it drives the frame 161 to rotate, that is, drives the main body 190 of the astronomical observatory to adjust its pitch angle. The angle sensor 180 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 162 on the other side of the frame 161 to monitor the rotation angle of the frame 161 in real time, that is, the pitch angle of the astronomical observatory, so that the staff can make precise adjustments.

[0031] The cleaning mechanism 200 is used to clean the lens surface of the telescope body 190, and includes a spray component 210 fixed to one side of the mounting frame 160, a water tank 220 fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 160, a pump 230 installed on one side of the water tank 220, and a cleaning component 240 fixed to the top of the mounting frame 160.

[0032] The spray unit 210 is used to spray cleaning fluid onto the lens surface of the telescope body 190, so that the cleaning fluid can dissolve the stains on the lens surface. The spray unit 210 includes a hollow tube 211 fixed to the mounting frame 160 by a round rod and nozzles 212 fixed in an array on the hollow tube 211 and communicating with the inner cavity of the hollow tube 211. The hollow tube 211 is used to install the nozzles 212 and to send the cleaning fluid into the nozzles 212. The nozzles 212 face the lens of the telescope body 190 to facilitate the spraying out of the cleaning fluid.

[0033] The water tank 220 is used to store cleaning fluid. The pump 230 is fixed on one side of the water tank 220. One end of the pump 230 is provided with an inlet pipe 231 that is connected to the inside of the water tank 220, so as to facilitate the extraction of cleaning fluid from the water tank 220. The other end is provided with an outlet pipe 232 that is connected to one end of the empty pipe 211, so as to facilitate the pumping of cleaning fluid into the empty pipe 211.

[0034] The cleaning component 240 is used to scrape away stains on the lens surface. It includes a third motor 241 fixed to the top of the mounting frame 160, a scraper 242 with its end sleeved on the shaft of the third motor 241, and a rubber strip 243 fixed on the scraper 242. When the third motor 241 is started, it drives the scraper 242 to reciprocate. When the scraper 242 moves, it drives the rubber strip 243 to move. One side of the rubber strip 243 is fixed on the scraper 242, and the other side is close to the lens surface, which makes it easy to scrape away stains on the lens surface.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the orientation of the cloud height meter body 190, the first motor 122 is started. The rotation of the first motor 122 drives the pulley 123 to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 123 drives the annular seat 130 to rotate via the transmission belt 140. The rotation of the annular seat 130 drives the mounting frame 160 to rotate via the support rod 150, thus causing the cloud height meter body 190 to rotate horizontally. Simultaneously, the second motor 170 is started, driving the mounting frame 160 to adjust the pitch angle, thus causing the cloud height meter body 190 to adjust its pitch. When dust appears on the lens surface of the main body 190, the pump 230 starts, extracts the cleaning fluid from the water tank 220 through the water inlet pipe 231, and pumps it into the empty pipe 211 through the water outlet pipe 232. Then, the cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the lens surface of the main body 190 of the unibody device through the nozzle 212. At the same time, the third motor 241 starts, driving the scraper 242 to circulate and clean the lens surface of the main body 190 of the unibody device. The movement of the scraper 242 drives the rubber strip 243 to move, scraping away the stains and cleaning fluid attached to the lens surface of the main body 190 of the unibody device, thus completing the cleaning of the lens of the main body 190 of the unibody device.
