Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meteorological monitoring technology, specifically a meteorological service monitoring and early warning device. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated ultrasonic weather stations are an important component of modern meteorological monitoring and early warning systems, widely used in real-time meteorological data acquisition, weather warnings, and environmental monitoring. By integrating multiple modules such as ultrasonic anemometers, temperature and humidity sensors, and barometric pressure sensors, they can accurately measure meteorological parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure, featuring high precision, high stability, and high automation. The ultrasonic sensors measure wind speed and direction by emitting and receiving ultrasonic signals, using the phase difference method, avoiding the errors and malfunctions of traditional mechanical anemometers. Furthermore, the temperature and humidity sensors collect data using the capacitance principle, and the barometric pressure sensor uses the resistance change principle. The data processing unit is responsible for real-time analysis and processing of data from various sensors, converting it into digital signals and transmitting it to the meteorological service center or cloud platform via a communication system. The automation of this weather station reduces human intervention, improves the continuity and reliability of data collection, and enables timely issuance of extreme weather warnings, providing technical support for disaster prevention and environmental management. Currently, when such meteorological service monitoring and early warning equipment is installed on a lake, it primarily relies on floating structures for structural support. These floating structures depend on buoyancy, but the water surface itself is affected by natural factors such as wind and waves, causing the floating structures to drift. This prevents the meteorological equipment from maintaining its predetermined fixed position, especially on lakes with strong winds and waves. Wind can cause the floating structures to constantly change position or direction, affecting the orientation of the meteorological equipment, particularly wind speed and direction monitoring. This can lead to inaccurate reflection of actual weather conditions. Furthermore, the swaying and instability of the floating structures caused by strong winds directly impacts the accuracy of sensors within the weather station, especially ultrasonic anemometers and wind direction sensors. These sensors require a relatively stable posture to accurately measure wind direction and speed. If the floating structures deviate due to excessive wind, the sensor measurements will be inaccurate, resulting in inaccurate meteorological data acquisition and affecting subsequent meteorological analysis and early warning. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a meteorological service monitoring and early warning device, which sets up a double-cone floating body, a tripod, and a column to support an integrated ultrasonic weather station, providing a floating foundation for the installation of the integrated ultrasonic weather station. At the same time, several equally spaced self-locking lifting structures are installed at the bottom of the double-cone floating body. The self-locking lifting structures allow the chains and anchors to sink into the water to stabilize the floating foundation, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a meteorological service monitoring and early warning device, comprising a double-cone buoy and a frame structure installed at the center of the top of the double-cone buoy. An integrated ultrasonic weather station is installed at the top of the frame structure. An outer float ring is fixed to the outer edge of the double-cone buoy. Several herringbone brackets are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the double-cone buoy below the outer float ring. A self-locking lifting structure for releasing and lifting anchor chains and anchor bodies is provided on one side of the outer wall of the herringbone bracket. A textured knob for driving the self-locking lifting structure is rotatably installed at the edge of the top of the outer float ring.

[0005] Preferably, the skeleton structure consists of a tripod fixed at the center of the top of the double-cone buoy and a column fixed at the center of the inside of the tripod, with the integrated ultrasonic weather station installed on the top of the column.

[0006] Preferably, the outer float ring has a cavity that is isolated from the internal cavity of the double-cone float body, and both the double-cone float body and the outer float ring are made of hard plastic components.

[0007] Preferably, the self-locking lifting structure includes a secondary shaft rotatably mounted inside one end of the herringbone frame, a bearing seat fixed to the bottom of the outer float, a main shaft rotatably mounted inside the bearing seat, and a pulley transmission structure installed between the same end of the main shaft and the secondary shaft. The other end of the main shaft is equipped with a worm gear transmission structure that maintains power connection with the textured knob, and the other end of the secondary shaft is equipped with a double-disc drum for fixing the end of the anchor chain.

[0008] Preferably, the pulley drive structure includes a driving pulley fixed to one end of the main shaft and a driven pulley fixed to one end of the secondary shaft. The diameter of the driven pulley is smaller than the diameter of the driving pulley, and a multi-wedge belt is wound between the driven pulley and the driving pulley.

[0009] Preferably, the worm gear transmission structure includes a worm fixed to the bottom of the textured knob and a worm wheel fixed to one end of the main shaft. The worm wheel and the worm mesh with each other, and the bottom of the outer float ring is provided with a rectangular hollow groove for the pulley transmission structure to pass through.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This meteorological service monitoring and early warning equipment supports an integrated ultrasonic weather station through a double-cone float, a tripod, and a column, thereby optimizing the float design. Combined with a self-locking lifting structure and anchors, it improves the stability, data accuracy, and long-term operational reliability of the weather station. The double-cone shape better reduces the impact of wind and waves, providing higher stability and effectively reducing the direct impact of wind and waves on the float, allowing the meteorological equipment to be stably maintained in a predetermined position, avoiding equipment drift and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurement data. When the float is affected by strong winds or large waves on the water surface, the self-locking lifting structure allows the float to quickly sink the anchors into the water via anchor chains, increasing the stability between the float and the water surface. Furthermore, the self-locking lifting structure can lock the sinking depth of the anchors according to water surface fluctuations, keeping them within a set stable range, preventing excessive drift due to changes in wind and waves, reducing unnecessary swaying or directional deviation, and thus ensuring accurate collection of meteorological data such as wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and humidity.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a meteorological service monitoring and early warning device, including a double-cone float 1 and a frame structure installed at the center of the top of the double-cone float 1. An integrated ultrasonic weather station 7 is installed at the top of the frame structure. An outer float ring 2 is fixed to the outer edge of the double-cone float 1. Several herringbone brackets 3 are installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the double-cone float 1 below the outer float ring 2. A self-locking lifting structure 4 for releasing and lifting anchor chains and anchor bodies is provided on one side of the outer wall of the herringbone bracket 3. A textured knob for driving the self-locking lifting structure 4 is rotatably installed at the edge of the top of the outer float ring 2.

[0019] The skeleton structure consists of a tripod 5 fixed at the center of the top of the double-cone float 1 and a column 6 fixed at the center of the inside of the tripod 5. The integrated ultrasonic weather station 7 is installed on the top of the column 6.

[0020] The outer float 2 has a cavity 201 that is isolated from the internal chamber of the double-cone float 1. Both the double-cone float 1 and the outer float 2 are made of hard plastic. The outer float 2 is located on the outer edge of the double-cone float 1, and the cavity 201 is not connected to the double-cone float 1. This ensures that the double-cone float 1 is sealed and generates sufficient buoyancy to support the tripod 5, the column 6, and the integrated ultrasonic weather station 7, thereby effectively reducing the impact of wind and waves on the float.

[0021] The self-locking lifting structure 4 includes a secondary shaft 401 rotatably mounted inside one end of the A-frame 3, a bearing seat fixed to the bottom of the outer float 2, a main shaft 403 rotatably mounted inside the bearing seat, and a pulley drive structure 404 installed between the same end of the main shaft 403 and the secondary shaft 401. The other end of the main shaft 403 is equipped with a worm gear drive structure 405 that maintains power connection with the textured knob. The other end of the secondary shaft 401 is equipped with a double-disc drum 402 for fixing the end of the anchor chain. The operator manually rotates the textured knob at the top of the outer float 2. This causes the worm gear transmission structure 405 to drive the main shaft 403 to rotate. Then, the main shaft 403 drives the secondary shaft 401 and the double-disc drum 402 to rotate through the pulley transmission structure 404. During the rotation, the double-disc drum 402 gradually releases the anchor chain, causing the anchor chain and anchor body to gradually sink into the water until the anchor body contacts the bottom. To ensure the anchor body remains stable, divers or mechanical equipment can be used to install the anchor on the bottom of the water to ensure that the anchor is stably fixed to the float, so that the equipment is not affected by environmental factors such as water flow and waves.

[0022] The belt drive structure 404 includes a driving pulley fixed at one end of the main shaft 403 and a driven pulley fixed at one end of the secondary shaft 401. The diameter of the driven pulley is smaller than that of the driving pulley, and a multi-wedge belt is wound between the driven pulley and the driving pulley.

[0023] The worm gear transmission structure 405 includes a worm fixed to the bottom of the textured knob and a worm wheel fixed to one end of the main shaft 403. The worm wheel and worm mesh with each other. The bottom of the outer float ring 2 is provided with a rectangular hollow groove for the pulley transmission structure 404 to pass through. The worm gear transmission structure 405 has a self-locking function. When the worm rotates forward, the worm wheel will also rotate forward. When the worm rotates in reverse, the worm wheel will also rotate in reverse, so that the double-disc drum 402 can be rotated and locked, preventing the anchor chain from being released by itself due to wind and waves.

[0024] Before installation, the personnel in this embodiment first need to conduct a comprehensive survey of the installation site. This survey includes assessing the water depth, current conditions, wave conditions, and wind conditions of the surrounding environment. These factors will affect the stability of the float and the data acquisition performance of the weather station. The personnel also need to confirm the water quality at the installation site and ensure that there are no debris or obstacles that could interfere with the normal installation of the float. Simultaneously, anchors are installed on the self-locking lifting structure 4 using anchor chains. One end of the anchor chain is fixed to the self-locking lifting structure 4, and the other end is fixed to the anchor. Then, based on the site survey results, the personnel need to select a suitable location to install the double-cone float 1. The double-cone float 1 has good hydrodynamic characteristics and can effectively reduce the impact of wind and waves on the float. After the double-cone float 1 is placed and stabilized, the personnel release the anchor chain through the self-locking lifting structure 4. At this time, the anchor sinks to the bottom of the water to prevent the float from floating. The float drifts with changes in water flow or wind force. During this process, staff need to ensure that the length and tension of the anchor chain on the self-locking lifting structure 4 meet the design requirements to effectively stabilize the float. Once the anchor sinks and makes firm contact with the bottom, the double-cone float 1, tripod 5, and column 6 form a stable floating structure that can support the integrated ultrasonic weather station 7. After all equipment is installed, staff need to conduct system testing and debugging, including checking whether the weather equipment is working properly, whether the sensor data acquisition is accurate, and whether the stability of the float meets the requirements. Staff also need to check whether the self-locking lifting structure 4 can automatically adjust the position of the float according to water surface fluctuations to ensure its stability. In addition, a comprehensive inspection of the power system and communication system of the integrated ultrasonic weather station 7 is required to ensure that the equipment can operate stably and transmit the collected data in real time.
