Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of weather monitoring technology, and in particular to a weather monitoring device for wind turbine generators. Background Technology
[0002] Wind turbine weather monitoring devices are key equipment used to monitor the weather conditions at wind farm sites in real time. They are of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of wind turbines and improving power generation efficiency. These devices typically integrate multiple sensors to measure meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and air pressure.
[0003] In the prior art (application number CN221101074U, patent name: a monitoring device for weather forecasting), during installation, the monitoring body is first placed on a pre-set underground installation point, and then the underground pipe and the underground base are poured with concrete to position the support on the placement surface. The body is then fitted into the mounting groove on the support via a base frame. Rotating the handle causes the rotating rod to contact and limit the pressure plate against the bottom of the base frame within the mounting groove. The inventors have found at least the following problems in the prior art:
[0004] In heavy rain or torrential rain conditions, traditional rainproof measures are often insufficient to completely prevent rainwater from seeping into the equipment. Even a small amount of water entering the monitoring box can cause electrical components to become damp, leading to short circuits, signal interference, or even permanent damage. Moisture accelerates the oxidation process of metal parts, increases resistance, reduces electrical performance, and ultimately causes electrical components to fail. This corrosion not only shortens the service life of the equipment but also increases maintenance costs and downtime. When the monitoring device needs to be inspected and maintained, the fixed or complex disassembly mechanisms in traditional designs further increase the difficulty of maintenance, making daily maintenance extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a weather monitoring device for wind turbine units that can prevent rainwater from seeping into the equipment. Even a small amount of water entering the monitoring box can cause electrical components to become damp.
[0006] This utility model provides a weather monitoring device for wind turbine generators, including a movable base plate, a support bracket fixedly connected to the top of the movable base plate, a monitoring box fixedly connected to the side wall of the support bracket, and a support frame fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support bracket. It also includes: a wind direction monitor fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a wind speed monitor fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a forecast monitor fixedly connected to the top of the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, a monitoring control panel is fixedly connected inside the monitoring box, and louvers are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the monitoring box.

[0009] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank, and the end of the return spring away from the water tank is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame.
[0010] Preferably, an I-shaped sliding plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the louver, a sealing plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the I-shaped sliding plate, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate, a guide groove plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod, and the top of the guide groove plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank.
[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the monitoring box is provided with an installation mechanism, the installation mechanism including a hinge fixedly connected to the side wall of the monitoring box, and an installation frame fixedly connected to the side wall of the hinge.
[0012] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frame, a connecting spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing plate, and a pull plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring away from the fixing plate.
[0013] Preferably, a retaining plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pull plate, a limiting block is slidably connected to the side wall of the retaining plate, and the side wall of the limiting block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frame.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insert block, and the end of the limiting rod away from the insert block passes through the inner wall of the mounting bracket and extends to the outer side.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0017] Under normal weather conditions, the water tank of this wind turbine weather monitoring device is empty, and the louvers are exposed, allowing the monitoring box to breathe and preventing the device from malfunctioning during continuous high-intensity work or high-temperature weather. When heavy rain occurs, as the water tank begins to collect rainwater, its weight gradually increases, causing the water tank to descend due to gravity. As the water tank descends, it pulls the guide plate down with it. Because the guide rod slides within the guide plate, as the guide plate descends, the guide rod moves along the inclined groove of the guide plate, thereby sealing the louvers with the sealing plate to prevent rainwater from entering the equipment and to avoid moisture corrosion of the electrical components inside the monitoring box, thus extending the service life of the device.
[0018] This wind turbine weather monitoring device uses a locking plate that is restrained by an insert block to keep the mounting frame closed. When the monitoring control panel needs to be inspected, the operator simply pulls a pull plate, which moves the locking plate away from the insert block, thus releasing the restriction on the locking plate and allowing the operator to access and inspect the internal components. When the mounting frame is closed, the mounting frame moves the limit block and the locking plate. The locking plate first contacts the inclined surface of the insert block, which then pushes the insert block outward. When the locking plate moves to a specific position, a helical spring pushes the insert block back to its original position, and the insert block re-restrains the locking plate, preventing it from moving arbitrarily. This ensures that the mounting frame is securely closed, improving the maintainability and reliability of the equipment and facilitating maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides a weather monitoring device for wind turbine generators, including a movable base plate 101. A support bracket 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable base plate 101. A monitoring box 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support bracket 102.

The monitor 107 includes rainfall monitoring equipment, temperature and humidity monitoring equipment, and atmospheric pressure monitoring equipment. The rainfall monitoring equipment can provide early warnings of rainfall that may affect power generation efficiency or cause equipment damage. The temperature and humidity monitoring equipment helps assess the impact of environmental conditions on the equipment. The atmospheric pressure monitoring equipment can help predict upcoming weather changes. The monitoring control panel 11 is fixedly connected inside the monitoring box 103. The monitoring control panel 11 performs predictive analysis on the collected data and sends the collected data to the monitoring center in real time, allowing maintenance personnel to remotely view meteorological information. The outer wall of the monitoring box 103 is fixedly connected to louvers 12 to facilitate heat dissipation.
[0031] The monitoring box 103 has a sealing mechanism 2 on its side wall. The sealing mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 201 fixedly connected to the side wall of the monitoring box 103. A convex sliding plate 202 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 201. A water tank 203 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the convex sliding plate 202 for collecting rainwater. A return spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 203. The end of the return spring 204 away from the water tank 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 104. To help the water tank 203 return to its initial position after the rainwater is drained, an I-shaped sliding plate 205 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the louver 12. A sealing plate 206 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the I-shaped sliding plate 205. This is designed to close or open the louver 12 to ensure equipment safety. A guide rod 207 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate 206. A guide groove plate 208 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 207. The top of the guide groove plate 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 203.
[0032] The side wall of the monitoring box 103 is provided with an installation mechanism 3. The installation mechanism 3 includes a hinge 301 fixedly connected to the side wall of the monitoring box 103. The side wall of the hinge 301 is fixedly connected to an installation frame 302. The outside of the installation frame 302 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 303. The side wall of the fixing plate 303 is fixedly connected to a connecting spring 304. The end of the connecting spring 304 away from the fixing plate 303 is fixedly connected to a pull plate 305. The side wall of the pull plate 305 is fixedly connected to a locking plate 306. This arrangement releases the restriction of the locking plate 306 by pulling the pull plate 305. The side wall of the locking plate 306 is slidably connected to a limit block 307. The side wall of the limit block 307 is fixedly connected to the outside of the installation frame 302.
[0033] A mounting bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting frame 302. A coil spring 32 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting bracket 31. A plug block 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the coil spring 32 away from the mounting bracket 31. A limit rod 34 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the plug block 33. The end of the limit rod 34 away from the plug block 33 passes through the inner wall of the mounting bracket 31 and extends to the outer side. The plug block 33 has a beveled design, which can automatically give way when the locking plate 306 approaches, and be pushed back to its original position by the coil spring 32 after the locking plate 306 is in place, so as to realize the locking function.
[0034] In summary, the working principle of a wind turbine weather monitoring device according to this utility model embodiment is as follows: by setting a movable base plate 101, it is easy to move the device to a suitable location according to monitoring needs. When the environmental monitoring device reaches a suitable location, the wind direction monitor 105 and the wind speed monitor 106 monitor the wind speed and direction of the environment. The rainfall monitoring device, temperature and humidity monitoring device, and atmospheric pressure monitoring device in the forecast monitor 107 monitor the environment. The rainfall monitoring device can provide early warning of rainfall that may affect power generation efficiency or cause equipment damage. The temperature and humidity monitoring device helps to assess the impact of environmental conditions on the equipment. The atmospheric pressure monitoring device can help predict upcoming weather changes.
[0035] Under normal weather conditions, the water tank 203 is empty, and the louvers 12 are exposed, allowing the monitoring box 103 to breathe and preventing the device from malfunctioning during continuous high-intensity work or high-temperature weather. When heavy rain occurs, as the water tank 203 begins to collect rainwater, its weight gradually increases, causing the water tank 203 to descend due to gravity. This descent of the water tank 203 pulls the guide plate 208 down with it. Because the guide rod 207 slides within the guide plate 208, when... When the guide plate 208 descends, the guide rod 207 moves along the inclined groove of the guide plate 208, thereby sealing the louver 12 with the sealing plate 206 to prevent rainwater from entering the equipment and avoid moisture from corroding the electrical components inside the monitoring box 103, thus extending the service life of the device. After the rain stops, the rainwater in the water tank 203 opens the outlet and gradually drains out. The reset spring 204 pulls the water tank 203 back to the initial position, and the sealing plate 206 opens accordingly, restoring the device to its initial state.
[0036] The clamping plate 306 is restricted by the insert block 33, keeping the mounting frame 302 in a closed state. When the monitoring control panel 11 needs to be inspected, the operator only needs to pull the pull plate 305. The pull plate 305 moves the clamping plate 306 away from the insert block 33, thereby releasing the restriction on the clamping plate 306 and making it easier for the operator to access and inspect the internal components. When the mounting frame 302 is closed, the mounting frame 302 moves the limit block 307 and the clamping plate 306. The clamping plate 306 first contacts the inclined surface of the insert block 33, thereby pushing the insert block 33 outward. When the clamping plate 306 moves to a specific position, the helical spring 32 pushes the insert block 33 to reset, and the insert block 33 restricts the clamping plate 306 again to prevent it from moving arbitrarily, ensuring that the mounting frame 302 is stably closed, improving the maintainability and reliability of the equipment, and facilitating maintenance.
