[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automatic water-replenishing weather evaporator includes an evaporator body 1 and a carrying water tank 2. The carrying water tank 2 can be used for water storage, and the water in the evaporator body 1 is used for weather evaporation detection. An elastic support mechanism 3 arranged in a ring array is provided between the evaporator body 1 and the carrying water tank 2. The elastic support mechanism 3 installs the evaporator body 1 onto the top of the carrying water tank 2. A water pump 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the carrying water tank 2. The water pump 4 has a built-in power supply. A U-shaped input pipe 401 is fixedly installed at the outlet of the water pump 4. The U-shaped input pipe 401 is inverted so as not to affect the up and down movement of the evaporator body 1. One end of the U-shaped input pipe 401 extends into the interior of the evaporator body 1.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 An L-shaped control plate 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the evaporator body 1, and an auxiliary frame 6 is installed on the top of the water tank 2. A first switch 601 and a second switch 602 are installed on the auxiliary frame 6. Both the first switch 601 and the second switch 602 are electrically connected to the water pump 4. The first switch 601 can control the water pump 4 to start, and the second switch 602 can control the water pump 4 to shut down. The first switch 601 and the second switch 602 are located above and below the horizontal end of the L-shaped control plate 5, respectively, so that when the horizontal end of the L-shaped control plate 5 moves up and down, it can squeeze the first switch 601 and the second switch 602 respectively.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4The elastic support mechanism 3 includes a support sleeve 301 fixed to the top of the water tank 2. A support spring 302 is fixedly installed inside the support sleeve 301. The support spring 302 is in a compressed state. A support leg 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the support spring 302. The top of the support leg 303 is fixedly connected to the evaporator body 1. The support sleeve 301 provides a limit for the support leg 303, which can ensure that the support leg 303 and the evaporator body 1 can only move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the water tank 2 is fixedly connected to a guide pipe 7, and an overflow pipe 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the evaporator body 1. The overflow pipe 8 and the guide pipe 7 are slidably connected, and the bottom of the overflow pipe 8 extends into the interior of the guide pipe 7, so that the bottom of the overflow pipe 8 is always inside the guide pipe 7 as the evaporator body 1 moves up and down, ensuring that the water flowing out of the overflow pipe 8 can flow into the interior of the guide pipe 7.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A baffle ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the top of the evaporator body 1. The baffle ring 9 can prevent water inside the evaporator body 1 from flowing out due to shaking when the evaporator body 1 moves. The top of the baffle ring 9 is inclined so that rainwater falling on the baffle ring 9 can also enter the interior of the evaporator body 1.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the carrying water tank 2 is provided with multiple connecting pipe ports 10, which are used to connect to external pipes. One of the connecting pipe ports 10 is connected to an external water supply device. If the device is located in the field and there is a lack of water sources nearby, one of the connecting pipe ports 10 is reserved for manual water supply. The other connecting pipe ports 10 can be connected to an external rainwater collection device to facilitate water replenishment to the carrying water tank 2. Water is input into the carrying water tank 2. The top of the carrying water tank 2 is provided with an observation window 201 to facilitate observation of whether water needs to be replenished to the carrying water tank 2.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 A drain pipe 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the carrying water tank 2. A control valve 12 is installed on the drain pipe 11. Opening the control valve 12 allows the water inside the carrying water tank 2 to be released through the drain pipe 11. A water inlet pipe 402 is fixedly installed at the inlet of the water pump 4. One end of the water inlet pipe 402 extends into the inside of the carrying water tank 2, allowing the water inside the carrying water tank 2 to be pumped out.

[0031] The working principle of the automatic water replenishment weather evaporator provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0032] When the weather evaporator is working, the water pump 4 is started first. The water pump 4 draws water from the water tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 402, and then inputs the water into the evaporator body 1 through the U-shaped input pipe 401. As the amount of water inside the evaporator body 1 increases, the gravity of the evaporator body 1 is raised, and the support spring 302 is pressed down by the support leg 303. The evaporator body 1 drives the L-shaped control plate 5 to move down. When the L-shaped control plate 5 presses the second switch 602, it indicates that the water filling in the evaporator body 1 is completed, and the water pump 4 is turned off.

[0033] As evaporation reduces the amount of water inside the evaporator body 1, the support spring 302 returns to its original position and extends, pushing the support leg 303 and the evaporator body 1 upwards. The evaporator body 1 then moves the L-shaped control plate 5 upwards, which in turn presses the first switch 601. This indicates that the amount of water inside the evaporator body 1 is insufficient. At this point, the water pump 4 is turned on to replenish water into the evaporator body 1.

[0034] Compared with related technologies, the automatic water replenishment weather evaporator provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0035] This invention utilizes the up-and-down movement of the evaporator body 1 to achieve physical contact between the L-shaped control plate 5 and the first switch 601 and the second switch 602, thereby controlling the water pump 4. Without the need for numerous sensors, it can monitor the water level inside the evaporator body 1 and automatically replenish water when needed, automatically canceling the replenishment process after completion, thus improving the reliability of evaporator water replenishment. Furthermore, the presence of the carrying water tank 2 not only allows for the recovery of overflow water but also provides a water source for replenishing the evaporator body 1 by storing water in the carrying water tank 2, enabling the device to be used in outdoor environments where water replenishment is inconvenient.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
