Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rainfall monitoring technology, and in particular to a rainfall monitoring device that is easy to sample. Background Technology
[0002] Rainfall typically refers to the amount of water vapor that condenses and falls from the air to the ground, including dew, frost, hail, and snow. Condensation is not included. Meteorology, hydrology, and environmental science all require monitoring of rainfall to better understand weather conditions.
[0003] Currently, rain gauges are commonly used to monitor rainfall. Some staff members need to take rainwater samples for testing to obtain information about the rainfall. However, rain gauges are often stored at high locations, making sampling difficult and hindering the ability to take multiple samples quickly, which reduces work efficiency. To address these issues, we propose a rain monitoring device that facilitates sampling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rainfall monitoring device that facilitates sampling, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

A collecting funnel 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 2. A collecting cylinder 4 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the collecting funnel 3. An electronic water level gauge 5 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the collecting cylinder 4. A valve 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the collecting cylinder 4. A slewing bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base box 1. A motor 7 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the base box 1. A bearing 8 is embedded in the upper surface of the base box 1. A rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 8. The bottom surface of the rotating rod 9 is connected to the output end of the motor 7. A gear 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating rod 9. The gear 10 meshes with the slewing bearing 6. A turntable 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slewing bearing 6. A set of limiting seats 12 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the turntable 11. Sampling bottles 25 are snapped into the inner walls of the limiting seat 12. A set of sensing elements 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the turntable 11. A sensor switch 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2. A detector 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2. Through the cooperation of the collecting funnel 3, the collecting cylinder 4 and the electronic water gauge 5, rainfall can be collected. By combining the area of the collecting funnel 3, the collecting time and the amount of rainwater collected, the amount of rainfall can be calculated. The motor 7 drives the gear 10, the slewing bearing 6, the turntable 11 and the sampling bottle 25 to rotate. With the cooperation of the sensing elements 13 and the sensor switch 14, the mouth of the sampling bottle 25 can be aligned with the valve 24 for rapid sampling. The detector 15 detects whether the water level of the sampling bottle 25 has reached the specified height and controls the valve 24 and the motor 7, which can quickly perform multiple samplings and improve work efficiency.
[0023] Multiple self-locking casters 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base box 1. A push handle 17 is fixedly connected to the back of the base box 1. A battery 18 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the base box 1. A controller 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the support plate 2. A waste discharge port is provided on the right side of the valve 24. The waste discharge port is connected to the water pipe, which can quickly discharge the remaining rainwater in the collection cylinder 4 and prevent the rainwater from deteriorating and affecting the collection cylinder 4.
[0024] A filter screen 20 is snapped into the inner wall of the collecting funnel 3. Two first handles 21 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the filter screen 20. A cover plate 22 is movably connected to the upper surface of the collecting funnel 3. A second handle 23 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cover plate 22. By setting the filter screen 20, debris such as garbage or leaves blown by strong winds can be intercepted. By setting the cover plate 22, dust and other impurities falling into the collecting funnel 3 when not in use can be reduced.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] When using this device, push it to an open space and open the cover 22 to allow rainwater to enter the collection funnel 3 and then the collection cylinder 4. The electronic water level gauge 5 senses the water level change, and the rainfall is calculated by taking into account the area of the collection funnel 3 and the collection time. The motor 7 is then turned on to drive the gear 10 and the slewing bearing 6 to rotate, causing the turntable 11 to rotate the sampling bottle 25 and the sensing element 13. The induction switch 14 stops the motor 7 after detecting the sensing element 13, aligning the sampling bottle 25 with the valve 24. The valve 24 is then opened to collect the rainwater into the sampling bottle 25. After the detector 15 detects that the water level in the sampling bottle 25 has reached the specified height, the valve 24 is closed, and the motor 7 is turned on to start the next sampling.
