Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Lightning is a discharge phenomenon accompanied by flashes of light and thunder. Because lightning is often accompanied by strong gusts of wind, heavy rain, hail, and tornadoes, it poses a great threat to human work, production, and life safety. Currently, lightning protection is mainly achieved through passive measures such as installing lightning rods on buildings and reducing grounding resistance.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221977000U discloses a lightning monitoring and early warning device, including a mounting rod with a control box on its outer side. The mounting rod is a telescopic rod with an outer cylinder and an inner rod. Locking bolts are provided at the lower parts of both the outer cylinder and the inner rod. An atmospheric electric field meter is provided at the upper end of the outer cylinder. Multiple clamps are fitted on the outer side of the outer cylinder, and the rear wall of the control box is fixedly connected to the clamps. An audible and visual alarm is provided at the upper end of the control box. A box cover is provided on the front side of the control box, and a photovoltaic panel is provided on the front side of the box cover. A photovoltaic controller, a battery, and a control board are provided inside the control box. The photovoltaic controller, the battery, and the photovoltaic panel are electrically connected. The control board is electrically connected to the battery and the atmospheric electric field meter.

[0004] The aforementioned lightning monitoring and early warning device still has certain shortcomings. It can fix the extension length of the adjustment plate by cooperating with the positioning bolt and the positioning hole to fix the angle of the photovoltaic panel and ensure the fixing effect of the photovoltaic panel. However, since the intensity and angle of the light are different at different times, in order to maximize the light absorption efficiency, it is necessary to adjust its angle and direction regularly, which increases the labor cost and reduces the practicality of the lightning monitoring and early warning device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lightning monitoring and early warning device that has advantages such as improved light absorption efficiency, and solves the problem of periodically adjusting its angle and direction, which increases labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lightning monitoring and early warning device, comprising a cylinder, a base rotatably connected to the outer side of the cylinder via a bearing, an installation box installed on the right side of the base, a solar panel hinged to the top right of the installation box via a hinge shaft, an adjustment mechanism for flipping the solar panel being provided inside the installation box, and a rotation mechanism being provided inside the base.

[0007] An atmospheric electric field meter is installed at the top of the cylinder, a light sensor and an audible and visual alarm are installed at the top of the mounting box, and an antenna is installed on the left side of the mounting box near its top.

[0008] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided at the bottom of the cylinder, and a base plate is provided at the bottom of the mounting base. Multiple mounting ports extending to the bottom of the mounting base are provided on the upper surface of the mounting base, and bolts are threaded into the interior of each of the multiple mounting ports.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes a dual-axis motor disposed on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the base. A first bevel tooth is provided on the outer side of the lower output shaft of the dual-axis motor. A second bevel tooth meshes with the outer side of the first bevel tooth. A connecting rod is welded inside the second bevel tooth. The right end of the connecting rod passes through the base and the mounting box and extends into the interior of the mounting box. A third bevel tooth is welded to its outer side. A fourth bevel tooth meshes with the outer side of the third bevel tooth. A fixing rod is welded inside the fourth bevel tooth. A lead screw is welded to the top of the fixing rod. A movable sleeve is threaded to the outer side of the lead screw. A hinge plate is hinged to the right side of the movable sleeve via a hinge shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing rod is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting box via a bearing, and the end of the hinge plate away from the movable sleeve is hinged to the left side of the solar panel via a hinge shaft and located at its center.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail is fixed to the left side wall of the inner cavity of the mounting box, and the movable sleeve slides vertically inside the slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a gear located on the outside of the upper output shaft of the dual-axis motor, a gear plate is welded to the outside of the cylinder, and a groove is provided on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the base.

[0013] Furthermore, the gear is located within the groove and meshes with the gear disk, and the gear and the gear disk are located on the same horizontal line.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

Activating the output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor allows the mounting box to adjust its direction, enabling better reception of light sources. Furthermore, the device utilizes a hinged plate to rotate the solar panel, increasing its contact area with sunlight and ensuring its photoelectric conversion efficiency. This solves the problem of periodically adjusting its angle and direction, which increases labor costs. Attached Figure Description

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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The lightning monitoring and early warning device in this embodiment includes a cylinder 1. A base 6 is rotatably connected to the outside of the cylinder 1 via a bearing. An installation box 3 is installed on the right side of the base 6. A solar panel 5 is hinged to the top right of the installation box 3 via a hinge shaft. An adjustment mechanism 2 for flipping the solar panel 5 is provided inside the installation box 3. A rotation mechanism 4 is provided inside the base 6.

[0022] An atmospheric electric field meter 7 is installed at the top of the cylinder 1, and a light sensor 8 and an audible and visual alarm 10 are installed at the top of the mounting box 3. The light intensity is monitored by the light sensor 8. An antenna 9 is installed on the left side of the mounting box 3 near its top. A mounting base 11 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1. A base plate is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 11. Multiple mounting holes extending to the bottom of the mounting base 11 are opened on the upper surface of the mounting base 11, and bolts are threaded into the interior of each mounting hole.

[0023] It is understood that the installation box 3 is equipped with a solar cell box, which is electrically connected to the solar panel 5. When the solar panel 5 converts light energy into electrical energy, it can be stored inside the solar cell box to power the various electrical components in the lightning monitoring and early warning device. The installation box 3 is equipped with a main controller, which contains a communication module. The antenna 9 is electrically connected to the communication module, and the lightning monitoring and early warning information is wirelessly transmitted through the communication module, which facilitates the collection of information and the sending of early warning information. The solar cell box can power the atmospheric electric field instrument 7, which is convenient for lightning monitoring and early warning during outdoor operations without the need for power connection. When there is a lightning warning, the sound and light alarm 10 will be activated. It is easy to use and suitable for field construction operations, especially for use in plain terrain, to ensure the safety of field construction. The atmospheric electric field instrument 7 for lightning monitoring and early warning during outdoor operations is a mature and well-known technology in the prior art, so this application will not elaborate on its principle.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 2 includes a dual-axis motor 201 disposed on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the base 6. The dual-axis motor 201 is a conventional motor whose output shafts at both ends can be controlled independently. This application will not elaborate further. A first bevel tooth 202 is provided on the outer side of the lower output shaft of the dual-axis motor 201. A second bevel tooth 203 is engaged on the outer side of the first bevel tooth 202. A connecting rod 204 is welded inside the second bevel tooth 203. The right end of the connecting rod 204 passes through the base 6 and the mounting box 3 and extends into the interior of the mounting box 3. A third bevel tooth 205 is welded on its outer side. A fourth bevel tooth 206 is engaged on the outer side of the third bevel tooth 205. A fixing rod 207 is welded inside the fourth bevel tooth 206. A lead screw 208 is welded to the top of the fixing rod 207. A movable sleeve 209 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the lead screw 208. A hinge plate 210 is hinged to the right side of the movable sleeve 209 through a hinge shaft.

[0025] The fixed rod 207 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting box 3 via a bearing. The end of the hinge plate 210 away from the movable sleeve 209 is hinged to the left side of the solar panel 5 and located at its center via a hinge shaft. A slide is fixed to the left side wall of the inner cavity of the mounting box 3, and the movable sleeve 209 slides vertically inside the slide.

[0026] Understandably, by starting the lower output shaft of the dual-axis motor 201, the lead screw 208 can be made to rotate, and the hinge plate 210 can be used to push the solar panel 5 to rotate at an angle, thereby increasing the contact area with sunlight and ensuring its photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a gear 401 disposed on the outer side of the upper output shaft of the dual-axis motor 201, a gear disk 402 welded to the outer side of the cylinder 1, and a groove 403 provided on the right side wall of the inner cavity of the base 6.

[0028] Gear 401 is located in groove 403 and meshes with gear disk 402. Gear 401 and gear disk 402 are on the same horizontal line. Start the upper output shaft of dual-axis motor 201 to make gear 401 start to rotate. Since gear disk 402 is welded to the outside of cylinder 1, base 6 starts to rotate and drives mounting box 3 to adjust direction, so as to better receive light source.

[0029] Understandably, by monitoring the light intensity through the light sensor 8, the output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 201 can drive the mounting box 3 to adjust its direction, thus better receiving the light source. Furthermore, by using the hinge plate 210 to push the solar panel 5 to rotate its angle, the contact area with sunlight is increased, ensuring its photoelectric conversion efficiency. This solves the problem of periodically adjusting its angle and direction, which would increase labor costs.

[0030] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply, and all electrical components mentioned are conventional and known devices. This application will not elaborate further. The main controller can be a conventional and known device such as a computer that performs control. The control circuit of the main controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so this utility model will not explain the control method and circuit connection in detail. At the same time, any parts of this utility model that are not described in detail are all common technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0033] The lightning monitoring and early warning device is bolted to the area where it is needed. A solar panel box is installed inside the mounting box 3, electrically connected to the solar panel 5. When the solar panel 5 converts light energy into electrical energy, it is stored inside the solar panel box to power the various electrical components within the lightning monitoring and early warning device. To better receive light energy, the light intensity is monitored by the light sensor 8, and the upper output shaft of the dual-axis motor 201 is activated, causing the gear 401 to rotate. Since the gear plate 402 is welded to the outside of the cylinder 1, the base 6 begins to rotate, driving the mounting box 3 to adjust its direction for better light reception. By activating the lower output shaft of the dual-axis motor 201, the lead screw 208 begins to rotate. The solar panel 5 is rotated using the hinge plate 210 to increase its contact area with sunlight and ensure its photoelectric conversion efficiency. The solar cell box can power the atmospheric electric field instrument 7, which is convenient for lightning monitoring and early warning during outdoor operations without the need for power connection. When there is a lightning warning, the sound and light alarm 10 will sound and light. It is easy to use and suitable for field construction operations, especially for use in plain terrain, to ensure the safety of field construction. The main controller is set in the installation box 3, and the main controller has a communication module. The antenna 9 is electrically connected to the communication module, and the lightning monitoring and early warning information is wirelessly transmitted through the communication module, which facilitates the collection of information and the transmission of early warning information.
