[0023] Weather modification (referred to as weather modification operation) refers to the way of artificial intervention under certain favorable opportunities and conditions, so that the local meteorological environment changes according to people's expectations, in order to achieve the purpose of disaster prevention and reduction, improvement of ecological environment, protection of agricultural production, etc. In the process of weather modification operation, meteorological monitoring tools are needed to avoid meteorological disasters caused by mistakes.

[0024] Therefore, in the weather modification operation, the data of many fixed weather stations in the affected area may be used, but due to the problems of accuracy, distribution, etc., temporary meteorological detection devices need to be supplemented to supplement the data.

[0025] The existing weather modification operation lacks special meteorological monitoring equipment, and the conventional meteorological monitoring equipment is mainly used for outdoor special area detection operation. The equipment structure is complex, the function is perfect, the precision is high, and it can meet the detection needs, but the volume is large, the weight is heavy, and it is not convenient to carry and transfer between different operation sites, which is not conducive to the use of weather modification operation.

[0026] Therefore, please refer to Figure 1 The real-time meteorological monitoring device for weather modification operation provided in the present application comprises an integrated sensor module 1, a data processing unit 3, a communication module 4, a power supply module 5, a magnetic quick-release interface 6 and a protection and portable structure 2.

The eMMC storage chip is used for temporarily storing the collected data to prevent data loss, and also can store system programs and configuration parameters.

[0047] The data processing unit 3 can also monitor and control the working state of the device, such as power voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, communication state monitoring, etc. When an abnormal condition is detected, an alarm signal can be sent in time, and corresponding protection measures can be taken.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1For example, the communication module 4 adopts a cuboid design, with a length of about 10 cm, a width of about 6 cm, and a height of about 2 cm. The shell 21 is made of engineering plastic material, and the surface is treated with frosted finish, providing a comfortable feel.

[0049] The communication module 4 mainly consists of a 4G module, a satellite communication module, an antenna, and a communication interface circuit. The 4G module adopts the EC20 module of the Yidaoyuan Company, supporting multiple network modes such as LTE-FDD / LTE-TDD / WCDMA / GSM, with a maximum data transmission rate of 150 Mbps / 50 Mbps.

[0050] The satellite communication module 4 can adopt the satellite communication module of the Tiandi Company, which supports the Tiandi satellite communication system and can realize data transmission in areas without ground network coverage. The antenna includes a 4G antenna and a satellite antenna. The 4G antenna adopts a built-in PCB antenna, and the satellite antenna adopts an external spiral antenna connected to the communication module 4 through an SMA interface. The communication interface circuit includes a USB interface, a UART interface, and a SIM card interface, etc., for data communication with the data processing unit 3 and external devices.

[0051] The communication module 4 realizes data transmission between the device and the operation command center. The 4G module utilizes the existing 4G network to realize remote data transmission, with the advantages of fast transmission speed and wide coverage, enabling real-time transmission of collected weather data to the operation command center. The satellite communication module 4 serves as a backup communication method, which can transmit data to the operation command center through the Tiandi satellite communication system in remote areas with poor or no 4G signal, ensuring the reliability of data transmission. The communication module 4 also supports data encryption and identity authentication functions, ensuring the security of data transmission.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 For example, the power supply module 5 adopts a cuboid design, with a length of about 15 cm, a width of about 10 cm, and a height of about 5 cm. The shell 21 is made of engineering plastic material, and the surface is treated with fireproof finish, providing good flame retardant performance.

[0053] The power supply module 5 mainly consists of a 18650 lithium battery pack, a charging management circuit, a discharging management circuit, a solar charging control circuit, and a power interface circuit.

The power interface circuit includes charging interface, discharging interface, and solar charging interface, etc., which is used to connect with external power supply and other modules.

[0056] The power supply module 5 provides stable power support for the device. The lithium battery pack as the main power supply can provide continuous power supply for the device, ensuring that the equipment can work continuously for more than 8 hours without external power supply.

[0057] The charging management circuit can safely and efficiently charge the lithium battery pack, prolonging the service life of the battery. The discharge management circuit can monitor and protect the discharge process of the lithium battery pack, preventing over-discharge and over-current, and ensuring the safety of the battery.

[0058] The solar charging control circuit can efficiently store the electrical energy converted by the solar charging panel into the lithium battery pack, realizing sustainable power supply. In the presence of light, the solar charging panel can charge the lithium battery pack, reducing the dependence on external power supply, especially suitable for field work environments without external power supply.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 , for example, the magnetic quick-release interface 6 can adopt a circular design with a diameter of about 3 cm and a thickness of about 0.5 cm, with a smooth surface and a chamfered edge.

[0060] The magnetic quick-release interface 6 mainly consists of a shell 21, a powerful magnet, a metal contact, and a mistaken touch protection cover. The shell 21 is made of engineering plastic material with good insulation performance and mechanical strength. The powerful magnet is made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material with high residual magnetism, high coercive force, and high magnetic energy product, which can provide strong adsorption force. The metal contact is made of copper alloy material with a gold-plated surface, which has good electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. The mistaken touch protection cover is made of elastic plastic material, which is connected with the shell 21 through buckles, which can effectively prevent accidental connection or disconnection during transportation.

[0061] The magnetic quick-release interface 6 enables quick connection and disconnection between modules. When connecting modules, simply align the magnetic quick-release interface 6 on the module with the corresponding interface on the data processing unit 3. Due to the strong magnet, the interfaces will automatically align and adhere, ensuring that the metal contacts are in close contact, achieving electrical connection.

[0062] The metal contacts use a multi-point contact design, which can improve the reliability and stability of the connection, ensuring stable transmission of data and power. The accidental touch protection cover can prevent accidental connection or disconnection during transportation, protecting the interface and metal contacts from damage. When disassembling the module, simply pull the interface apart gently to complete the disassembly, making the operation simple and convenient, greatly shortening the installation and debugging time of the equipment.
