[0005] The present application provides a hail collecting cylinder for preserving hail, which comprises a supporting cylinder, a hail receiving box, a collecting bucket and a flexible buffer layer. The top of the supporting cylinder is provided with a through hole. The hail receiving box is movably arranged in the supporting cylinder, and the highest height of the hail receiving box is lower than the upper edge of the supporting cylinder. The collecting bucket is arranged on the supporting cylinder, and the bottom of the collecting bucket is provided with a mounting cavity.

[0006] In the present application, the hail receiving box is placed in the supporting cylinder, the collecting bucket is sleeved on the supporting cylinder, the conical cavity is formed in the collecting bucket, and the flexible buffer layer is arranged on the inner wall of the conical cavity. When the hail falls, the impact received by the hail can be reduced by the flexible buffer layer, and then the hail can be slid into the hail receiving box through the inner wall of the conical cavity and be received in the hail receiving box. This method not only reduces the impact between the hail and the collecting bucket, but also reduces the impact between the hails, which helps to improve the integrity of the hail.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom opening of the collecting bucket projects onto the conical surface of the conical buffer body in the vertical direction. The bottom opening of the collecting bucket projects onto the conical surface of the conical buffer body, so that the hail can slide in the hail storage box to the area covered by the collecting bucket, thereby avoiding the possibility of the hail sliding from the collecting bucket directly hitting the hail in the hail storage box.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the mounting cavity is an annular recess, the annular recess cooperates with the top edge of the support cylinder, and the hail storage box is located inside the mounting cavity. The annular recess can cooperate with the support cylinder to be stable, avoiding the influence of vibration caused by strong wind or hail impact on the position stability of the collecting bucket.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, a low-temperature-resistant coating is provided on the inner wall of the mounting cavity, and a low-temperature-resistant coating is provided on the inner wall of the support cylinder.

[0023] Hail is a common weather phenomenon, which is of great significance for meteorological research, agricultural disaster assessment and material impact resistance research. However, in the prior art, there is a lack of a device specially used for effectively collecting and properly storing hail.

[0024] It is too difficult and costly to capture hail by using optical equipment, and the traditional collection method is relatively simple, which is mostly by directly receiving the hail in a metal container. However, this method cannot guarantee the integrity of the hail, and is prone to cause the hail to melt or be contaminated during the collection process, thereby affecting the subsequent accurate analysis of the characteristics of the hail, such as the size, shape, internal structure and chemical composition of the hail.

[0025] Therefore, with reference to Figure 1 , the present application provides a hail collection cylinder for storing hail, which comprises a supporting cylinder 1, a hail receiving box 2, a collection bucket 3 and a flexible buffer layer 4.

[0026] With reference to Figure 1 , the top of the supporting cylinder 1 is provided with a through hole. The supporting cylinder 1 can be a circular cylinder or a polygonal cylinder, which can be a cylinder with a complete wall surface, a grid type cylinder or a support. The top of the supporting cylinder 1 can be provided with no wall plate or a through hole. The material of the supporting cylinder 1 can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite material. The inner cavity of the supporting cylinder 1 can be square or circular, and the bottom of the supporting cylinder 1 can be provided with supporting legs for stable support.

[0027] With reference to Figure 1 , the hail receiving box 2 is movably arranged in the supporting cylinder 1, and the highest height of the hail receiving box 2 is lower than the upper edge of the supporting cylinder 1. The hail receiving box 2 is used for receiving hail, and the material thereof can be a heat preservation material, and a metal rib 21 for improving strength can be arranged inside the hail receiving box 2. The hail receiving box 2 can be completely arranged in the supporting cylinder 1, and can be directly placed in the supporting cylinder 1 for easy loading and unloading.

[0028] With reference to Figure 1 , the collection bucket 3 is arranged on the supporting cylinder 1, and the bottom of the collection bucket 3 is provided with a mounting cavity 31. The inner wall of the mounting cavity 31 is sleeved on the supporting cylinder 1, and the collection bucket 3 has a conical cavity 32 therein. The bottom opening of the conical cavity 32 is communicated with the hail receiving box. The collection bucket 3 can be in the shape of a bucket or a columnar body, and the conical cavity 32 is arranged inside the collection bucket 3 to form the collection bucket 3. The mounting cavity 31 can be a groove in the bottom of the collection bucket 3, and the shape of the groove can be adapted to the top edge of the supporting cylinder 1.

[0029] With reference to Figure 1The flexible buffer layer 4 is arranged in the conical cavity 32 of the collecting bucket 3, and is made of flexible material. The flexible buffer layer 4 can be single-layer or multi-layer, and can be made of foam material or rubber material. The flexible buffer layer 4 can be fixedly bonded to the inner wall of the conical cavity 32 of the collecting bucket 3, or can be sleeved on the collecting bucket 3 by clamping.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 The hail storage box 2 in the application is placed in the supporting cylinder 1, the collecting bucket 3 is sleeved on the supporting cylinder 1, the conical cavity 32 is formed in the collecting bucket 3, and the flexible buffer layer 4 is arranged on the inner wall of the conical cavity 32. When the hail falls, the impact received by the hail can be reduced by the flexible buffer layer 4, and then the hail can be slid into the hail storage box 2 through the inner wall of the conical cavity 32 and stored in the hail storage box 2. This way not only reduces the impact between the hail and the collecting bucket 3, but also reduces the impact between the hail and the hail, which helps to improve the integrity of the hail.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, in order to facilitate the flexible buffer layer 4 to have stable properties, the collecting bucket 3 can be made of metal material, such as stainless steel material, aluminum alloy material or carbon fiber composite material. At this time, the inner wall of the conical cavity 32 of the collecting bucket 3 can be provided with a silicone coating, a polyurethane coating or a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, so as to facilitate the low-temperature resistance of the collecting bucket 3 and the closer fit between the collecting bucket 3 and the flexible buffer layer 4.

[0032] At the same time, since the collecting bucket 3 is used to collect hail, the top opening of the collecting bucket 3 is larger than the bottom opening, that is, the conical cavity 32 of the collecting bucket 3 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The top opening of the collecting bucket 3 can exceed the supporting cylinder 1 or can be arranged correspondingly with the supporting cylinder 1.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the hail storage box 2 includes a plurality of metal bars 21 and a foam insulation box 22, and the metal bars 21 are distributed longitudinally and transversely in the foam insulation box 22. The metal bars 21 can improve the strength of the hail storage box 2, so that the hail storage box 2 is more stable when being transferred. The foam insulation box 22 can have high heat preservation effect, so as to avoid rapid melting of the hail.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1In some examples, the foam insulation box 22 can be made of polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam or polyethylene foam. The foam insulation box 22 can have a shape corresponding to the shape of the inner cavity of the support cylinder 1 so as to be capable of preventing the foam insulation box 22 from being placed in the support cylinder 1. The metal ribs 21 can be arranged in a grid shape, a ring shape or a radial shape, and the grid shape and the ring shape can be arranged on the bottom wall and the side wall of the foam insulation box 22 respectively. The metal ribs 21 are preferably made of aluminum alloy, and can also be made of stainless steel or other materials.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the end portions of the metal ribs 21 on the top of the hail storage box 2 extend to the outside of the foam insulation box 22 and extend into the hail storage box 2, and the end portions of the metal ribs 21 are bent to form a storage box handle 23. The storage box handle 23 can facilitate the staff to lift and transport the hail storage box 2, and facilitate the storage and retrieval of the hail storage box 2.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the number of storage box handles 23 can be two, and the two storage box handles 23 can be identical. Rubber or other flexible materials can be arranged on the storage box handles 23 to avoid the danger caused by low temperature.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the hail storage box 2 further comprises a conical buffer 24 having a conical surface. The top end of the conical buffer 24 extends into the conical cavity 32 of the collection hopper 3, and the bottom edge of the conical buffer 24 is located on the bottom inner wall of the hail storage box 2.

[0038] The conical buffer 24 can provide buffering for hail. When the hail falls into the hail storage box 2, it can be transported more quickly to the deep part of the hail storage box 2, further reducing the possibility of the hail falling from a high altitude impacting the hail in the hail storage box 2, and helping to improve the integrity of the hail.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the conical buffer 24 can be made of solid material, and the conical buffer 24 can be made of the same material as the foam insulation box 22 and be integrally formed. The top of the conical buffer 24 can extend into the conical cavity 32, or can be located at the bottom of the conical cavity 32.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the top of the conical buffer 24 can be provided with a circular arc surface to reduce the impact caused by the direct impact of the hail.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1In some examples, the bottom opening of the collecting bucket 3 projects onto the conical surface of the conical buffer 24 in the vertical direction. The bottom opening of the collecting bucket 3 projects onto the conical surface of the conical buffer 24, so that the hail in the hail storage box 2 can slide to the area covered by the collecting bucket 3, thereby avoiding the possibility of hail falling from the collecting bucket 3 directly hitting the hail in the hail storage box.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the length of the conical buffer 24 in the horizontal direction is greater than the diameter of the bottom opening of the conical cavity 32 at this time, so that the part of the conical buffer 24 located outside the conical cavity 32 is provided with an arc-shaped structure to further reduce the speed of the hail and reduce the impact between the hails.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the mounting cavity 31 is an annular recess that cooperates with the top edge of the support cylinder 1, and the hail storage box 2 is located inside the mounting cavity 31. The annular recess can cooperate with the support cylinder 1 stably, avoiding the influence of wind blowing or hail impact on the position stability of the collecting bucket 3.

[0044] In some examples, the annular recess can be a circular ring or a polygon, and the shape of the annular recess needs to be correspondingly arranged with the shape of the top end of the support cylinder 1. A sealing layer, such as a sealing rubber layer, can also be arranged in the annular recess, so that the connection between the collecting bucket 3 and the support cylinder 1 is more stable.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, a low-temperature-resistant coating 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 31 and the inner wall of the support cylinder 1. The low-temperature-resistant coating 5 can avoid low-temperature adhesion between the collecting bucket 3 and the support cylinder 1, and help to improve the smoothness of low-temperature loading and unloading.

[0046] In some examples, the coating in the mounting cavity 31 can be the same as the coating on the inner wall of the support cylinder 1, and both can be polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating, fluororubber coating, polyurethane coating or silicone coating. These coatings can provide good low-temperature performance, thereby reducing low-temperature adhesion between metal materials and other materials.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the support cylinder 1 further includes two cylinder handles 11 arranged on the two walls of the support cylinder 1 away from each other. The cylinder handle 11 can facilitate the storage and transportation of the support cylinder 1.

[0048] In some examples, the cylinder handle 11 can be integrally formed with the support cylinder 1, and the two cylinder handles 11 are located on the annular surface of the support cylinder 1. The cylinder handle 11 can be coated with a coating and installed with a flexible pad to make it easy to use.

[0049] Please refer to ​ In some examples, the collecting hopper 3 further comprises two hopper handles 33, which are respectively located on two opposite sides of the collecting hopper 3, and the hopper handles 33 are arranged on the upper side of the barrel handle 11. The hopper handles 33 can facilitate the folding and unfolding of the transport hopper handles 33, and can cooperate with the barrel handle 11, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the two.

[0050] In some examples, the hopper handles 33 can be the same as the barrel handle 11, and the two can be vertically distributed up and down, or can have a certain deviation in the vertical direction.

[0051] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0052] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any change or replacement within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
