[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a weather station with a solar panel angle adjustable structure, including: a fixed base 1, an anemometer 2, a wind direction meter 3, a rain meter 4, a control system 6, and a power module 5;

[0052] The fixed base 1 supports the wind speed detector 2, wind direction detector 3, rainwater meter 4 and control system 6. The wind speed detector 2, wind direction detector 3, and rainwater meter 4 are electrically connected to the control system 6 respectively.

[0053] The power module 5 is electrically connected to the control system 6. The power module 5 includes a housing 51, a solar panel 52 and an angle adjustment component 53. The solar panel 52 is located inside the housing 51. The housing 51 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 1 through the angle adjustment mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the pitch angle of the housing 51 on the fixed base 1.

[0054] Anemometer 2 monitors wind speed data in the environment in real time and transmits the data to control system 6. Wind direction meter 3 monitors wind direction data and transmits the data to control system 6. Rainfall meter 4 measures precipitation and transmits the data to control system 6. Control system 6 coordinates the data acquisition and transmission of various sensors and controls the power supply module 5 to power the entire system. Control system 6 processes the received meteorological data and transmits it to a remote monitoring center or other designated terminal via wireless communication module for user viewing and analysis.

[0055] The main concept of this application is to design a rotatable solar panel 52, which, through an angle adjustment component 53, allows the solar panel 52 to adjust its tilt angle according to actual needs. The solar panel 52 can be adjusted to the optimal tilt angle at different times and seasons, either manually or automatically, thereby improving energy harvesting efficiency and enhancing overall flexibility and adaptability.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 4In this embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism includes an adjusting support 531, a pin 532, and an adjusting wheel 533. The outer shell 51 has a slot 5111 through which the pin 532 passes. The adjusting support 531 is detachably connected to the fixed base 1. The adjusting support 531 has a first connecting plate 5311 and a second connecting plate 5312 located on both sides of the slot 5111. Both the first connecting plate 5311 and the second connecting plate 5312 have through holes 5313 through which the pin 532 passes. The outer side wall of the second connecting plate 5312 has a plurality of first adjusting protrusions 5314 arranged in a ring around the through holes 5313. The adjusting wheel 533 includes a connecting post 5331 and a circular portion 5332 located at one end of the connecting post 5331. The connecting post 5331 has an opening 5334 through which the pin 532 passes. The connecting post 5331 passes through the second connecting plate 5311. The through hole 5313 on the 312 extends into the slot 5111. The pin 532 passes through the through hole 5313 on the first connecting plate 5311, the slot 5111, the through hole 5313 on the second connecting plate 5312, and the opening 5334 on the adjusting wheel 533 and is connected to the nut 534. The nut 534 is locked in the opening 5334. The circular part 5332 is located on one side of the second connecting plate 5312. The side of the circular part 5332 near the second connecting plate 5312 has a plurality of second adjusting protrusions 5333 in a ring array. The plurality of second adjusting protrusions 5333 are adapted to the plurality of first adjusting protrusions 5314. The plurality of second adjusting protrusions 5333 and the plurality of first adjusting protrusions 5314 can rotate relative to each other, or the second adjusting protrusions 5333 can be locked in two adjacent first adjusting protrusions 5314, thereby locking the angle of the solar panel 52.

[0057] When the angle of the solar panel 52 needs to be adjusted, the outer casing 51 is manually swung. When the outer casing 51 is subjected to external force, the adjusting wheel 533, connected to the outer casing 51 via a pin 532, rotates with the outer casing 51. Multiple second adjusting protrusions 5333 rotate relative to each other until the second adjusting protrusions 5333 become engaged with two adjacent first adjusting protrusions 5314, bringing the outer casing 51 to a standstill. At this point, the adjusting wheel 533 stops rotating, and the angle of the solar panel 52 is fixed. By manually rotating the outer casing 51 and its solar panel 52, the optimal light angle for the solar panel 52 can be ensured at different times and seasons.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first adjusting protrusion 5314 has rounded corners at both ends along the circumference of the through hole 5313, and the second adjusting protrusion 5333 has rounded corners at both ends along the circumference of the circular portion 5332, which facilitates the relative rotation of the two.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the slot 5111 is a non-circular slot, such as an ellipse, rectangle or any other non-circular shape, to prevent the connecting post 5331 from rotating circumferentially along the slot 5111. Figure 3 The upper part of the slot 5111 is trapezoidal and the lower part is rectangular. This geometry ensures that there is no relative rotation between the connecting post 5331 of the adjusting wheel 533 and the housing 51.

[0060] In this embodiment, the adjusting support 531 is a flexible plastic component, such as a polymer material like polycarbonate (PC) or nylon (PA), which can undergo elastic deformation to a certain extent. Due to the use of elastic plastic, the first connecting plate 5311 and the second connecting plate 5312 can undergo slight deformation within a certain range, allowing relative rotation between the first adjusting protrusion 5314 and the second adjusting protrusion 5333.

[0061] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the adjusting support 531 and the fixed base 1 is a bolted connection. The fixed base 1 has a threaded hole, and the hole on the adjusting support 531 is aligned with the threaded hole and secured with bolts. When maintenance or replacement of parts is required, the adjusting support 531 can be easily removed by simply loosening the bolts. This design greatly simplifies maintenance and repair work and improves the maintainability of the equipment.

[0062] In some embodiments, the pitch of the housing and solar panel can be adjusted by driving an angle adjustment mechanism with a motor.

[0063] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the outer casing 51 is a waterproof outer casing 51. The outer casing 51 can be made of waterproof materials, such as engineering plastics (e.g., polycarbonate or ABS resin) or other composite materials with excellent waterproof properties. These materials not only have good mechanical strength but also effectively prevent moisture penetration, ensuring that the weather station can operate normally under various severe weather conditions (such as heavy rain, heavy snow, etc.) without worrying about moisture intrusion causing equipment failure. This is especially important for weather stations used outdoors for extended periods.

[0064] Please see Figures 5 to 6In this embodiment, the outer casing 51 includes an upper casing 511, a lower casing 512, a panel 513, and a sealing ring 514. The upper casing 511 has a slot 5111 and a light-transmitting opening 5112. The panel 513 is detachably connected to the upper casing 511 and located at the light-transmitting opening 5112. The lower casing 512 is detachably connected to the upper casing 511, forming a space between them to accommodate the solar panel 52. The sealing ring 514 is disposed within this space to prevent moisture from entering the outer casing 51. The slot 5111 is used to accommodate the pin 532 and to allow angle adjustment, while the light-transmitting opening 5112 allows the solar panel 52 to receive sunlight. The panel 513 is typically made of a transparent or translucent material (such as tempered glass or polycarbonate) to ensure that light can pass through and illuminate the solar panel 52. The sealing ring 514 is typically made of a weather-resistant rubber material to ensure that it maintains a good sealing effect even after long-term use. The upper housing 511 and the lower housing 512 are detachably connected, allowing users to easily open the housing 51 for maintenance and replacement of internal components, simplifying the operation process.

[0065] Please see Figure 6 In this embodiment, the upper surface of the lower housing 512 is provided with an assembly groove 5121, and the sealing ring 514 is provided in the assembly groove 5121, in contact with the upper housing 511 or the panel 513, surrounding the solar panel 52 to prevent moisture from entering the internal solar panel 52. Figure 6 As shown, the sealing ring 514 has a convex shape, which increases the sealing effect.

[0066] In this embodiment, the weather station also includes a humidity sensor, which is installed in the mounting base 1 and connected to the control system 6. The mounting base 1 exposes the humidity sensor so that the humidity sensor can contact the outside air and sense the water vapor content in the air to measure the relative humidity.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
