[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, an automatic lifting canopy observation column includes a column 1, a top plate 6, and a cover 5. The lower end of the column 1 is fixed to the monitoring point via a concrete foundation. The column 1 is square to increase the weight of the foundation, making it more stable and robust. The exterior of the column 1 is coated with anti-rust paint and reflective markings. An installation platform 15 is provided on the top of the column 1 for installing monitoring elements, which can be monitors, theodolites, dust detectors, or noise detectors. The actual function of the construction site monitoring column is limited here. The top plate 6 is supported above the installation platform 15 by support columns 3. The support columns 3 can be... There are 2-4 support columns 3 evenly distributed around the circumference of the mounting platform 15. The two ends of the support columns are threaded to assemble the mounting platform 15 and the top plate 6. A rain cover with a corresponding detection element is provided on the lower surface of the top plate 6. The length of the rain cover is adapted to the length of the support column 3. The rain cover is a flexible sleeve and can be made of polyethylene, rubber or waterproof cloth. A corresponding driving mechanism for the rain cover is provided in the middle of the top plate 6. The driving mechanism can drive the flexible sleeve to move longitudinally, so that it is sleeved between the top plate 6 and the mounting platform 15. Under the drive of the driving mechanism, the rain cover can either be pressed down onto the mounting platform 15 or stored up on the lower surface of the top plate 6.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper cover 5 is fitted above the top plate 6, with its lower edge extending downwards to below the top plate 6, to cover and protect the rain cover after it is stored, ensuring its aesthetic appeal when not in use.

[0029] In one optional embodiment, the rain cover includes a cover body 2 and support rings 4. The cover body 2 is cylindrical, and multiple support rings 4 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the cover body 2 to support the cover body 2 and prevent the cover body 2 from deforming due to strong winds. The support rings 4 are metal rings with a certain weight, so they can unfold downwards under the action of weight. The support rings 4 are connected to the inner wall of the cover body 2 by glue.

[0030] The drive mechanism includes a roller 8 and a servo motor. The servo motor and the detection element are connected to the same power supply. The two ends of the roller 8 are hinged to the top plate 6. The servo motor is connected to the roller 8 through a transmission gear. Each end of the roller 8 is provided with a winding station. The winding station can be equipped with a winding disc corresponding to the lifting line 7. The two winding stations are respectively connected to the support ring 4 located at the bottom of the cover 2 through the lifting line 7. The rain cover can be stored and unfolded by lifting and lowering the lifting line 7. The servo motor has a self-locking function. After the rain cover is stored, the servo motor self-locks to ensure the stored state.

[0031] In this embodiment, two lifting wires 7 are symmetrically distributed about the top plate 6 (spool 8). The top plate 6 has through holes corresponding to the lifting wires 7. After passing through the top plate 6 upwards, the lifting wires 7 are wound onto the spool 8.

[0032] The top plate 6 has a mounting groove 9 in the middle corresponding to the roller 8 and the transmission gear. A fixed pulley 11 corresponding to the lifting line 7 is provided above the top plate 6, so that the lifting line 7 turns and extends into the mounting groove 9. The mounting groove 9 has bearings corresponding to the roller 8 at both ends, and the mounting groove 9 has through holes corresponding to the lifting line 7 on the side.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 9 is a groove-shaped structure with an opening facing downwards. A notch corresponding to the opening of the mounting groove 9 is provided in the middle of the top plate 6. The servo motor is mounted on the top of the mounting groove 9. The transmission gear includes a driven wheel 12 and a driving wheel 13. The driven wheel 12 is mounted on the roller 8, and the driving wheel 13 is set on the main shaft of the servo motor. After the driving wheel 13 extends into the mounting groove 9, it meshes with the driven wheel 12.

[0034] The driven wheel 12 can be located in the middle of the roll 8, thereby dividing the roll 8 into two ends to form two winding stations.

[0035] The inner side of the support ring 4 in the middle of the cover 2 is provided with a guide ring corresponding to the lifting line 7. The guide ring is fixed inside the support ring 4. The top plate 6 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the lifting line 7. After the lifting line 7 passes through the guide ring inside the middle support ring 4, it is fixed on the guide ring of the bottom support ring 4.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the mounting platform 15 and the top plate 6 are concentrically distributed circular structures. The upper end of the cover 2 is provided with a fixing ring corresponding to the fixing of the top plate 6. The shape of the fixing ring is adapted to the cover 2. The fixing ring is concentrically fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 6 by bolts, thereby allowing the cover 2 to be installed and fixed.

[0037] The installation platform 15 is a conical platform. During the descent, under the influence of gravity, the support ring 4 at the bottom of the rain cover is sleeved on the middle of the conical platform, thus forming a stable connection and ensuring sealing performance. Furthermore, the rainwater is guided outward through the outer wall of the conical platform to prevent rainwater from entering the installation platform 15.

[0038] Furthermore, the support ring 4 is a steel ring, and the outer wall of the mounting platform 15 is equipped with a magnet corresponding to the steel ring. The attraction of the magnet makes the steel ring stably fitted onto the outer wall of the conical platform, so that the support ring 4 will not slip upward due to wind force under the traction of the non-lifting line 7.

[0039] The top plate 6 has an upwardly extending fixing sleeve 10 at its edge. The upper surface of the fixing sleeve 10 is higher than the upper edge of the servo motor, thereby protecting the servo motor and the lifting line 7. The top cover 5 is threaded onto the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, the servo motor is connected to a control terminal, which is connected to the control center via a wireless transmission module. This allows the control center to control the storage and unfolding of the rain cover.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, this application also provides a manually operated rainproof structure, the specific difference being that no drive mechanism is provided, but only a corrugated tube 14 is provided on the lower surface of the top plate 6 as a rainproof cover, so that the rainproof cover can be opened and closed by manual stretching. Similarly, the upper cover 5 extends downward below to cover the rainproof cover.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present utility model.
