A camera bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the column, and a camera is fixedly mounted at one end of the camera bracket. A battery inside the electrical box is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel.

[0004] The aforementioned outdoor integrated meteorological monitoring station has the following problems: its batteries are located in the air, while general meteorological monitoring stations face a relatively harsh working environment with large temperature differences; this will greatly reduce the performance of the batteries. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a power-sinking meteorological monitoring device that can solve the problem of excessively high or low temperatures affecting battery performance.

[0006] This utility model provides a submerged power supply type meteorological monitoring device, comprising:

[0007] The monitoring module is used to monitor meteorological conditions; and

[0008] The power supply module includes a battery, a housing, and a top cover. The housing is buried underground and has no top cover. One side of the top cover is hinged to the upper edge of the housing, and the other side can be opened and closed relative to the housing. When the top cover and the housing are closed, a sealed space is formed inside the housing. The battery is fixed in the sealed space and is electrically connected to the monitoring module to provide power to the monitoring module.

[0009] In some feasible solutions, the power supply module also includes several vertically arranged pipes, one end of which is fixed to the housing and communicates with the inside of the housing, and the other end extends away from the housing and is closed.

[0010] In some feasible solutions, the housing, the top cover, and the pipes are made of waterproof and thermally conductive materials.

[0011] In some feasible solutions, the outer surfaces of the housing, the top cover, and the pipes are coated with an insect- and ant-proof coating.

[0012] In some feasible solutions, the monitoring module includes a bracket, an anemometer, and a rainfall meter. The bracket is vertically mounted, and the anemometer and rainfall meter are fixed on the bracket. The battery is electrically connected to the anemometer and rainfall meter to provide power.

[0013] In some feasible solutions, the bracket is detachably fixed to the upper cover, and the bracket is hollow and communicates with the interior of the box.

[0014] In some feasible solutions, a solar module is also included, which is mounted on the bracket and electrically connected to the power supply module.

[0017] In some feasible solutions, the characteristic feature is that the battery is a lithium battery.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention includes a monitoring module and a power supply module. The monitoring module is used to monitor weather conditions, and the power supply module includes a battery buried underground. The battery is electrically connected to the monitoring module and provides power to it. Burying the battery underground allows it to be kept warm in summer when temperatures are high, as the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly lower than the air temperature, thus slowing down performance degradation. Conversely, in winter when temperatures are low, the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly higher than the air temperature, thus cooling down the battery and slowing down performance degradation. This invention utilizes the characteristic of underground soil being warm in winter and cool in summer to insulate or cool the battery, maintaining it within a relatively suitable operating temperature range and preventing excessively low or high temperatures from affecting battery performance. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the submerged power supply meteorological monitoring device of this utility model;

[0022] The components are: 1-monitoring module, 11-support, 12-wind speed meter, 13-rain gauge, 2-power supply module, 21-battery, 22-box, 23-top cover, 24-pipe, 3-solar module, 31-solar panel, 32-attitude adjustment component, 321-rotating track, 322-slider, 323-horizontal support, 324-pitch adjustment motor. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a submerged meteorological monitoring device, which includes a monitoring module 1 and a power supply module 2. The monitoring module 1 is used to monitor meteorological conditions, and the power supply module 2 includes a battery 21 buried underground. The battery 21 is electrically connected to the monitoring module 1 and is used to provide power to the monitoring module 1.

[0025] In this invention, the battery 21 is buried underground. When the summer temperature is high, the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly lower than the air temperature, which can keep the battery 21 warm and slow down its performance degradation. Conversely, when the winter temperature is low, the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly higher than the air temperature, which can cool the battery 21 and slow down its performance degradation. This invention utilizes the characteristic of underground soil being warm in winter and cool in summer to keep the battery warm or cool, maintaining the battery within a relatively suitable operating temperature range and avoiding the impact of excessively low or high temperatures on battery performance.

[0026] Specifically, the monitoring module 1 includes a bracket 11, an anemometer 12, and a rainfall meter 13. The bracket 11 is vertically arranged, and the anemometer 12 and the rainfall meter 13 are fixed on the bracket 11 and are used to detect wind speed and rainfall, respectively. The battery 21 is electrically connected to the anemometer 12 and the rainfall meter 13 to provide power.

[0027] Specifically, battery 21 is a lithium battery. Currently used lead-acid batteries are mostly energy storage batteries, primarily used in indoor UPS uninterruptible power supplies. They have poor resistance to high and low temperatures and are unsuitable for long-term outdoor use. Ternary lithium batteries or lithium iron phosphate batteries have stronger resistance to high and low temperatures and exhibit less battery degradation under extreme weather conditions.

[0028] Specifically, the power supply module 2 also includes a housing 22 and a top cover 23. The housing 22 has no top cover. One side of the top cover 23 is hinged to the upper edge of the housing 22, and the other side can be opened and closed relative to the housing 22. When the top cover 23 and the housing 22 are closed, a sealed space is formed inside the housing 22, and the battery 21 is fixed inside the sealed space. In actual use, the housing 22 is buried underground, and the battery 21 is fixed inside the housing 22.

[0029] Furthermore, the power supply module 2 also includes several pipes 24. One end of each pipe 24 is fixed to the bottom of the housing 22 and communicates with the interior of the housing 22, while the other end extends vertically and is closed. The purpose of setting up the pipes 24 is as follows: 1. Since the battery 21 is placed inside the housing 22, the housing 22 cannot be too deep underground in order to facilitate the removal and replacement of the battery 21; therefore, in order to better utilize geothermal resources, the pipes 24 are extended deep into the ground. In winter, heat from deep underground can be used to heat the battery box through the shaft, while in summer, heat from the housing 22 can be conducted to deep underground to balance the temperature inside the battery box.

[0030] Furthermore, the housing 22, the top cover 23, and the pipe 24 are made of waterproof and thermally conductive materials. This design aims to prevent moisture from the underground soil from seeping into the housing 22, which could cause a short circuit in the battery 21. In addition, the thermally conductive material allows the battery 21 to exchange heat with the underground soil, maintaining the battery 21 within a relatively suitable operating temperature.

[0031] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the housing 22, the top cover 23, and the pipe 24 are coated with an insect-proof coating, which can effectively prevent insects from gnawing on the housing 22, the top cover 23, and the pipe 24, and effectively protect the battery 21 inside.

[0032] In some feasible embodiments, the monitoring module 1 and the power supply module 2 can be set up separately. Specifically, the bracket 11 is fixed on one ground and the box 22 is buried in another ground.

[0033] In this embodiment, the bracket 11 is fixed to the upper cover 23, and the bracket 11 is hollow and communicates with the interior of the housing 22. The purpose of this design is that the power supply wire of the battery 21 can extend to the ground through the hollow tube inside the bracket 11 and be electrically connected to the anemometer 12 and the rain gauge 13, which can protect the wire and extend its service life.

[0034] It should be noted that because this utility model uses a sunken design, the distance between the battery 21 and the loads such as the wind speed meter 12 and the rain gauge 13 is increased. In order to reduce the loss of electrical energy during transmission, a wire with a larger diameter than conventional wires is selected, thereby reducing resistance and suppressing battery power consumption.

[0035] Specifically, this utility model also includes a solar module 3, which is mounted on the bracket 11 and electrically connected to the power supply module 2. The solar module 3 is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy and send it to the power supply module 2 for storage.

[0036] Furthermore, the solar module 3 includes a solar panel 31 and an attitude adjustment component 32. The attitude adjustment component 32 is disposed on the bracket 11 and connected to the solar panel 31, and can adjust the attitude of the solar panel 31 so that the solar panel 31 is in the optimal power generation attitude.

[0037] Furthermore, the attitude adjustment assembly 32 includes a rotating track 321, a slider 322, a lateral support 323, and a pitch adjustment motor 324. The rotating track 321 is fixed to the outer surface of the support 11. The slider 322 is slidably connected to the rotating track 321 and can move autonomously along the rotating track 321. One end of the lateral support 323 is fixed to the slider 322, and the pitch adjustment motor 324 is fixed to the other end of the lateral support 323. The movable end of the pitch adjustment motor 324 is fixed to the solar panel 31 and is used to adjust the pitch angle of the solar panel 31. In use, the slider 322 can move along the rotating track 321, allowing the solar panel 31 to follow the sun's trajectory; the pitch adjustment motor 324 adjusts the pitch angle of the solar panel 31, ensuring that the solar panel 31 is always at the optimal angle facing the sun.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0039] This invention includes a monitoring module and a power supply module. The monitoring module is used to monitor weather conditions, and the power supply module includes a battery buried underground. The battery is electrically connected to the monitoring module and provides power to it. Burying the battery underground allows it to be kept warm in summer when temperatures are high, as the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly lower than the air temperature, thus slowing down performance degradation. Conversely, in winter when temperatures are low, the temperature inside the underground soil is significantly higher than the air temperature, thus cooling down the battery and slowing down performance degradation. This invention utilizes the characteristic of underground soil being warm in winter and cool in summer to insulate or cool the battery, maintaining it within a relatively suitable operating temperature range and preventing excessively low or high temperatures from affecting battery performance.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
