Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of propeller anemometers, specifically a support component for a propeller anemometer. Background Technology
[0002] A propeller anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. It mainly senses wind flow by rotating a propeller, thereby determining the speed and direction of the wind. Propeller anemometers have wide applications in meteorological monitoring, aerospace, wind power generation and other fields. In meteorological monitoring, it can provide accurate wind field data for weather forecasting.
[0003] The support assembly of a propeller anemometer mainly consists of a base, a rotating shaft, and a fixing clamp. The support assembly is usually made of high-strength metals such as aluminum alloy and stainless steel. During the wind measurement process, the operator usually uses the fixing clamp to fix the propeller anemometer to the support assembly, and then the base is firmly installed on the ground. The propeller anemometer measures the speed and direction of the surrounding wind.
[0004] After being exposed to the sun for a long time, the friction between the shaft and the ball bearing inside the bottom support assembly of the propeller anemometer increases. The shaft in the support assembly of existing propeller anemometers is usually installed inside the support assembly, making it difficult for engineers to add lubricating oil to the inside of the shaft, which seriously affects the direction of wind measured by the propeller anemometer.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the anemometer is teardrop-shaped, which can reduce the resistance of the wind it receives.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the shape of the anemometer is set as a teardrop, which can reduce the resistance between the anemometer and the wind, thereby reducing the impact of wind resistance on the wind speed detection of the blades at the top of the anemometer.
[0016] The present invention is further provided that a sealing cap is installed inside the oil inlet pipe, and the sealing cap is made of chloroethylene rubber.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the sealing cap seals the inlet of the oil inlet pipe to prevent external water vapor from entering the interior of the oil tank. In addition, the sealing cap is made of chloroethylene rubber, which has good weather resistance and can withstand harsh environments such as sun exposure and wind and rain erosion.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom of the outrigger contacts the ground. The bottom of the outrigger is set to be round, which increases the contact area between the bottom of the outrigger and the ground, making the outrigger more stable on the ground.
[0024] The present invention is further configured such that the surfaces of the connecting seat and the base are provided with screw holes, and the connecting seat and the base are connected by bolts.

[0034] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0035] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0036] A support assembly for a propeller-driven anemometer, such as Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a support body 1 and legs 4. A support assembly is fixed to the top of the legs 4. The support assembly includes the support body 1. A rotating shaft 5 is installed inside the support body 1, and a rotating groove 52 is opened inside the rotating shaft 5. Multiple sets of rotating balls 53 are installed inside the rotating groove 52. An inner layer 51 is movably connected inside the rotating shaft 5, and a support column 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the inner layer 51. A connecting seat 2 is connected to the top of the support column 21. An oil tank 3 is fixed to one side of the support body 1, and an oil inlet pipe 32 is provided on the top of the oil tank 3. An oil passage pipe 33 is provided inside the support body 1. This solves the problems of traditional propeller anemometers. To address the technical issue of not being able to easily add lubricating oil inside the support components, when the friction between the rotating ball 53 and the inner wall of the rotating shaft 5 and the inner layer 51 of the rotating shaft is large, the sealing cap 37 is opened, and lubricating oil is added into the oil storage tank 3 through the oil inlet pipe 32. Then, the pressing block 36 is pushed, and the pressing block 36 drives the extrusion plate 34 to extrude into the oil storage chamber 31 through the connecting rod 35. The lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber 31 enters the rotating groove 52 inside the rotating shaft 5 through the oil pipe 33, so that the rotating ball 53 comes into contact with the lubricating oil, thereby reducing the friction between the rotating ball 53 and the rotating shaft 5 and the inner layer 51 of the rotating shaft, making the wind direction detection of the anemometer 6 more accurate.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 The top of the connecting seat 2 is connected to the base 62, and the top of the base 62 is fixed with the connecting column 61. The anemometer 6 is installed on the top of the connecting column 61. The anemometer 6 is connected and fixed to the support component through the bottom base 62. The support component fixes the anemometer 6 as a whole, so that the anemometer 6 will not shake when measuring wind speed.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 The anemometer 6 has a cup shaft 7 on one side, and multiple sets of blades 71 are provided on the outer wall of the cup shaft 7. The blades 71 are movably connected to the end of the anemometer 6 through the cup shaft 7. When the wind blows to the top of the anemometer 6, the wind drives the blades 71 to rotate, so that the anemometer 6 can measure the speed of the wind flow.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 A tail fin 8 is installed on one side of the anemometer 6, and the thickness of the tail fin 8 is relatively small. A tail fin 8 with a large surface area is installed at the tail end of the anemometer 6. The large surface area on the side of the tail fin 8 is beneficial for the anemometer to detect winds with low wind speeds. At the same time, the thickness of the tail fin 8 is relatively small, thereby reducing the overall weight of the anemometer 6.
[0040] Please see Figure 1The anemometer 6 is designed in a teardrop shape. The teardrop shape of the anemometer 6 can reduce the wind resistance it receives. The shape of the anemometer 6 is designed in a teardrop shape, which can reduce the resistance between the anemometer 6 and the wind, thereby reducing the wind resistance on the top blade 71 of the anemometer 6 to detect the wind speed.
[0041] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The oil inlet pipe 32 is equipped with a sealing cap 37. The sealing cap 37 is made of chloroethylene rubber. The sealing cap 37 seals the opening of the oil inlet pipe 32 to prevent external water vapor from entering the oil storage tank 3. In addition, the sealing cap 37 is made of chloroethylene rubber, which has good weather resistance and can withstand harsh environments such as sun exposure and wind and rain erosion.
[0042] Please see Figure 3 The oil storage tank 3 has an oil storage chamber 31 inside, and a squeezing plate 34 is movably installed inside the oil storage chamber 31. The staff stores the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 31, so they do not need to carry the lubricating oil every time they come to add oil to the inside of the rotating shaft 5. The squeezing plate 34 moves into the oil storage chamber 31 and squeezes the lubricating oil in the oil storage chamber 31 into the rotating shaft 5.
[0043] Please see Figure 3 A connecting rod 35 is connected to one side of the extrusion plate 34, and a pressing block 36 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 35. The operator can press the pressing block 36, which will cause the connecting rod 35 to move, thus pushing the extrusion plate 34 to move.
[0044] Please see Figure 4 The bottom of the support leg 4 is round, and the diameter of the round support leg 4 is relatively large. The bottom of the support leg 4 contacts the bottom surface. The round bottom of the support leg 4 increases the contact area between the bottom of the support leg 4 and the bottom surface, making the support leg 4 more stable on the ground.
[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The surfaces of the connecting seat 2 and the base 62 are provided with screw holes. The connecting seat 2 and the base 62 are connected by bolts. The anemometer 6 is bolted to the connecting seat 2 in the support assembly through the base 62 at the bottom, so that the anemometer 6 is fixedly connected to the support assembly. The connection between the connecting seat 2 and the base 62 is facilitated by the bolts, which makes it convenient for the staff to install and disassemble the anemometer 6.
[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the base 62 and the connecting seat 2 are connected and fixed by bolts, so that the anemometer 6 is connected and fixed above the support body 1. When the wind blows to the blade 6 in front of the anemometer 6, the blade 6 rotates to measure the speed. When the wind blows to the tail fin 8 at the tail end of the anemometer 6, the tail fin 8 will drive the anemometer 6 to rotate and adjust the angle, so that the anemometer 6 rotates to the angle facing the wind, thereby measuring the wind direction. During the process of the tail fin 8 driving the anemometer 6 to rotate and adjust the angle, the anemometer 6 drives the support column 21 at the bottom of the connecting seat 2 to rotate together through the base 62. The outer wall of the support column 21 is connected to the inner layer 51 of the rotating shaft. The part is equipped with a rotating ball 53, which reduces the resistance between the support column 21 and the support body 1, allowing the anemometer 6 to easily rotate in the wind. When the friction between the inner wall of the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating ball 53 is large, the sealing cap 37 is opened, and lubricating oil is added into the oil storage tank 3 through the oil inlet pipe 32. Then, the pressing block 36 is pushed, and the pressing block 36 drives the extrusion plate 34 to extrude into the oil storage chamber 31 through the connecting rod 35. The lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber 31 enters the rotating groove 52 inside the rotating shaft 5 through the oil pipe 33, so that the rotating ball 53 comes into contact with the lubricating oil, thereby reducing the friction between the rotating ball 53 and the rotating shaft 5 and the inner layer 51 of the rotating shaft.
