[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-2 The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic weather station for highways, including a mounting pole. The mounting pole includes a base section 1, a middle section 2, and an upper section 3. The middle section 2 is mounted on the base section 1 and can slide up and down and be locked on the base section 1. In this embodiment, the middle section 2 is inserted into the base section 1. A sliding groove is provided on the middle section 2, and a guide block that cooperates with the sliding groove is provided on the base section 1. The middle section 2 slides up and down on the base section 1 through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the guide block. In this embodiment, positioning holes 19 are provided on both the middle section 2 and the base section 1. The base section 1 and the middle section 2 are connected and fixed by fixing bolts 18 cooperating with the positioning holes 19. When the fixing bolts 18 are pulled out of the positioning holes 19, the middle section 2 can slide on the base section 2, thus realizing the raising and lowering of the middle section 2 on the base section 1.
[0033] One end of the upper section 3 of the rod is hinged to the middle section 2 of the rod. The upper section 3 can rotate around the hinge point with the middle section 2. In this embodiment, the upper section 3 and the middle section 2 have a rotatable locking structure. To achieve the above structure, in this embodiment, a first flange seat 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the upper section 3, and a second flange seat 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the middle section 2. A collar 4 is rotatably connected to the second flange seat 5, and the collar 4 can rotate on the second flange seat 5. The collar 4 is hinged to the first flange seat 6, and fixing holes 8 are provided on both the first flange seat 6 and the second flange seat 5. When locking bolts are used on the first flange seat 6 and the second flange seat 5, the position between the middle section 2 and the upper section 3 is fixed, and they cannot rotate around the hinge point or rotate relative to each other.
[0034] A weather sensor 9, a road condition monitoring device 12, and a camera 7 are mounted on the pole. In this embodiment, both the weather sensor 9 and the camera 7 are located on the upper section 3 of the pole, and a lightning rod 10 is also installed on the upper section 3. In this embodiment, the weather sensor 9 includes a wind speed and direction sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a barometric pressure sensor. The camera 7 is a pan-tilt camera with a rotating function. The road condition monitoring device 12 is located on the middle section 2 of the pole. In this embodiment, the road condition monitoring device 12 is mounted on the middle section 2 of the pole via a bracket and locking bolts. Loosening the locking bolts allows the road condition monitoring device 12 to move on the middle section 2 of the pole.

[0037] When it is necessary to inspect and maintain meteorological instruments and equipment, first loosen the bracket of the road condition monitoring device 12 so that the road condition monitoring device 12 can slide on the middle section 2 of the pole. Then, loosen and remove the fixing bolts 8 between the bottom section 1 and the middle section 2 of the pole, allowing the middle section 2 of the pole to slide downwards along the guide block on the bottom section 1, thus lowering the height of the middle section 2. Remove the locking bolts on the first flange seat 6 and the second flange seat 5, rotate the upper section 3 along the hinge, and flatten the upper section 3, thus enabling the inspection and maintenance of the equipment and instruments. At the same time, by rotating the collar 4 on the second flange seat 5, the position of the upper section 3 can be adjusted so that maintenance personnel can perform maintenance from a suitable position.
[0038] After maintenance, rotate the upper section 3 of the pole around the hinge until it returns to a position parallel to the middle section 2. Then, rotate the upper section 3 along the collar 4 until the fixing holes 8 on the first flange seat 6 and the second flange seat 5 are aligned. Tighten the first flange seat 6 and the second flange seat 5 with fixing bolts to secure the upper section 3 and the middle section 2. Next, insert a jack through the inspection port 14 and use it to push the middle section 2 upwards, moving it upwards on the bottom section 1 until it reaches the desired position. Finally, insert the fixing bolts 18 into the corresponding positioning holes 19 on the bottom section 1 and the middle section 2, and tighten them to complete the locking between the bottom section 1 and the middle section 2, thus restoring the entire automatic weather station.
[0039] Embodiment 2:
