Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of observation instrument mounting bracket technology, specifically an observation instrument mounting bracket for radar observation of hail. Background Technology
[0002] In meteorological observation, radar instruments, as crucial monitoring equipment, play a vital role in predicting and tracking extreme weather phenomena such as hail. However, existing radar instrument mounting designs have limitations in dealing with severe weather conditions, especially hail. Specifically, most traditional radar instrument mountings lack necessary protective mechanisms, leaving the main body of the radar instrument directly exposed to high-speed impacts from the hailstones during intense hailstorms, making it highly susceptible to physical damage. This damage not only affects the accuracy and stability of the radar instrument but also easily leads to equipment malfunctions, consequently impacting the continuous acquisition and accurate analysis of meteorological data. Utility Model Content
[0003] (a) Purpose of the utility model
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a radar observation instrument mounting bracket for hail observation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background above.
[0005] (II) Technical Solution
[0006] A radar hail observation instrument mounting bracket includes a mounting plate, a support column fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate, a support frame fixedly mounted on the top of the support column, two radar bodies fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support frame, two mounting shells fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, fixing plates fixedly mounted on the inner walls of the two mounting shells, and a cylinder fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the top of the fixing plate. One end of the cylinder is connected to a linkage rod, and one end of the linkage rod is connected to a protective cover.
[0007] Preferably, sealing frames are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the support frame, providing a precise mating and sealing interface for the protective cover. When the protective cover is lowered, it can fit tightly with the sealing frames, thus increasing stability.
[0008] Preferably, the outer surface of the protective cover has multiple sets of through holes, which allow for a certain amount of air circulation while ensuring the protective effect, and helps to reduce the condensation that may occur inside the protective cover.
[0009] Preferably, limit plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the two sets of mounting shells, and the limit plates are fixedly connected to the support frame by bolts. This connection method is both firm and easy to disassemble, making it convenient for installation and maintenance.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the sealing frame is wrapped with rubber, and the rubber layer enhances the sealing effect between the sealing frame and the protective cover, preventing moisture or hail water from seeping in through tiny gaps.
[0011] Preferably, a vibration sensor is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the support frame. The vibration sensor can monitor the vibration of the support frame in real time and provide a trigger signal for the automatic protection mechanism.
[0012] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support column, and a support frame is connected to the top of the reinforcing rod. The reinforcing rod enhances the connection strength between the support column and the support frame, improving the structural stability of the entire mounting frame. This helps maintain the stability of the mounting frame under adverse weather conditions, ensuring that the radar body can continuously conduct accurate observations.
[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model balances airflow and protection through the design of the protective cover. The through holes ensure ventilation while blocking hail, and the cylinder drives it to descend smoothly, fully covering the radar body and ensuring safe operation.
[0015] 2. This utility model accurately monitors the vibration caused by hail impact through a vibration sensor, quickly transmits the signal to the control system, and immediately activates the protection mechanism to provide immediate protection for the radar body, effectively avoiding the risk of potential damage to the radar body in hail weather.

[0022] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of the various embodiments of this disclosure. Certain details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a radar hail observation instrument mounting frame, comprising a mounting plate 1, a support column 2 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 1, a support frame 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the support column 2, two radar bodies 5 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support frame 4, and two mounting shells 8 fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 4. A fixing plate 812 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the two mounting shells 8, and a cylinder 811 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the top of the fixing plate 812. One end of the cylinder 811 is connected to a linkage rod 813, and one end of the linkage rod 813 is connected to a protective cover 7. After receiving a command, the cylinder 811 starts working, driving the linkage rod 813 connected to it. The linkage rod 813 acts as a transmission medium, converting the linear motion of the cylinder into the vertical movement of the protective cover 7. As the linkage rod 813 pushes, the protective cover 7 descends smoothly along the guide structure of the support frame 4 until it completely covers the radar body 5, thus achieving the protective effect.
[0024] Sealing frames 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the support frame 4. The sealing frames 6 provide a precise mating and sealing interface for the protective cover 7. When the protective cover 7 is lowered, it can fit tightly with the sealing frames, thus making it more stable. Multiple sets of through holes are opened on the outer surface of the protective cover 7, which allow a certain amount of air circulation while ensuring the protective effect, helping to reduce condensation inside the protective cover and keep the environment around the radar body dry.
[0025] Both sides of the two sets of mounting shells 8 are fixedly equipped with limiting plates 711, and the limiting plates 711 are fixedly connected to the support frame 4 by bolts 712. This connection method is both firm and easy to disassemble, facilitating installation and maintenance. The inner wall of the sealing frame 6 is wrapped with rubber. The rubber layer enhances the sealing effect between the sealing frame and the protective cover, preventing moisture or hail water from seeping in through tiny gaps.
[0026] A vibration sensor 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the support frame 4. The vibration sensor 9 can monitor the vibration of the support frame in real time, providing a trigger signal for the automatic protection mechanism, thus improving the system's reliability and automation level and reducing the need for manual intervention. A reinforcing rod 3 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support column 2, and the top of the reinforcing rod 3 is connected to the support frame 4. The reinforcing rod 3 strengthens the connection between the support column 2 and the support frame 4, improving the structural stability of the entire mounting frame. This helps maintain the stability of the mounting frame under harsh weather conditions, ensuring that the radar can continuously conduct accurate observations.
[0027] Working Principle: First, the vibration sensor 9, installed at the top of the inner wall of the support frame 4, continuously monitors the vibration impact of the external environment on the support frame. During hailstorms, the high-frequency impact of hailstones causes the support frame to produce a specific vibration pattern. Once the vibration sensor detects this abnormal vibration frequency, it triggers the protection mechanism. The vibration sensor 9 transmits a signal to the control system, which then activates the cylinder 811 inside the mounting housing 8. Upon receiving the command, the cylinder 811 begins operation, driving the connected linkage rod 813. The linkage rod 813, acting as a transmission medium, converts the linear motion of the cylinder into the vertical movement of the protective cover 7. As the linkage rod 813 pushes, the protective cover 7 smoothly descends along the guide structure of the support frame 4 until it completely covers the radar body 5. The design of the protective cover 7 takes into account the balance between air circulation and protection. The multiple through holes on its outer surface can ensure a certain amount of air circulation and effectively block the direct impact of hail. When the hail weather ends and the vibration frequency detected by the vibration sensor (9) returns to normal, the control system receives the signal again and controls the cylinder (811) to move in the opposite direction. The protective cover (7) is lifted back to its original position through the linkage rod (813) to restore the normal observation state of the radar body.
[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
