[0002] Anemometers / wind direction sensors are devices used to detect and measure wind direction in real time, playing a vital role in social and economic development. For example, they provide high-resolution wind direction data in meteorological observations, supporting weather forecasting models and climate research, and providing crucial data support for early warnings of disasters such as typhoons and storms; they are used in wind tunnel experiments, aerodynamic research, and HVAC system optimization, improving equipment performance and energy efficiency through accurate wind direction measurement; and they help optimize the layout and orientation of wind turbine generators by accurately measuring wind direction, thereby improving wind energy utilization efficiency, and so on.
[0003] As can be seen from the above, the verification and calibration of wind vanes / wind direction sensors are of great significance. Verification and calibration can identify and correct errors, maintain data reliability, discover potential faults, maintain or replace components in a timely manner, reduce the risk of sudden failures, and ensure continuous and stable operation. It can also prevent the accumulation of small problems, slow down component wear and tear, thereby extending the overall lifespan of wind vanes / wind direction sensors. Furthermore, it can ensure that wind vanes / wind direction sensors comply with national and international standards and meet compliance requirements.
[0004] Currently, the standard instruments and supporting facilities used by meteorological metrology departments in my country for verifying and calibrating wind vanes / wind direction sensors are all manually adjustable devices. However, human operation factors can lead to significant errors in verification and calibration. At the same time, existing wind vane / wind direction sensor verification and calibration devices with automated functions suffer from complex structures and high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
