Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological monitoring technology, specifically to a portable rainfall measurement device for ecological positioning observation points. Background Technology

[0002] Rainfall refers to the depth of liquid water that falls from the sky and accumulates on a horizontal surface without evaporation, infiltration, or runoff. Rainfall is measured in mm, with one decimal place used in meteorological observations. Rainfall directly indicates the amount of precipitation. Accurate and rapid measurement of rainfall is of significant scientific importance for grassland vegetation growth and ecosystem stability. Under the backdrop of ecological civilization construction, numerous scholars and scientists have conducted extensive monitoring work at ecological observation points to monitor regional ecological conditions over the long term. However, meteorological stations in my country are mainly distributed at the city and county levels, resulting in a limited number of observation points that cannot meet the needs of more refined regional studies. Furthermore, setting up regional ecological observation meteorological stations is costly and cannot be implemented on a large scale. Currently, to ensure the accuracy of rainfall measurement while saving costs and better conducting scientific research on ecological protection, a portable rainfall measurement device is often installed at ecological observation points.

[0003] Existing portable rainfall measuring devices cannot directly measure the rainwater in the storage bottle. The storage bottle needs to be removed and the rainwater poured into a measuring cylinder for measurement. This process can easily lead to unnecessary losses and reduce the accuracy of the measurement results. Utility Model Content

[0039] See Figures 1-8 As shown, this embodiment provides a portable rainfall measurement device for ecological positioning observation points, which includes a bottle body 1, an anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12, and a liquid flow meter 3.

[0040] The top of the bottle body 1 has a communicating rain inlet 10, and the bottom of the bottle body 1 has a base plate 11. An anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12 is installed between the rain inlet 10 and the base plate 11. The anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12 is installed inside the bottle body 1. A matching top cover is detachably connected to the rain inlet 10. The anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12 is similar to a funnel structure. Its purpose is to prevent rainwater from evaporating while diverting the water, thereby affecting the rainfall measurement results. The purpose of the top cover is to prevent debris from entering the bottle body 1 when the device is not in use, and to keep the internal environment of the bottle body 1 dry and clean.

[0041] The base plate 11 has a slope, and a connecting pipe 2 is installed at the lowest point of the slope; the slope structure of the base plate 11 allows rainwater to collect at the pipe 2; a base 14 is installed on the bottom side of the base plate 11, and the base 14 supports the bottle body 1; the base 14 is adjacent to the pipe 2; a liquid flow meter 3 is connected to the flange on the pipe 2; the liquid flow meter 3 is commercially available, and the flow rate and flow of rainwater are measured by the liquid flow meter 3, and then the rainfall in the area where this embodiment is located is calculated; a water storage tank is connected to the output end 21 of the pipe 2, and the water storage tank can store the rainwater flowing through the pipe 2 and the rainwater at its own location, so that the water in the water storage tank can be reused.

[0042] Rainfall amount refers to the cumulative value of rainwater flow measured by liquid flow meter 3 over a certain period of time, divided by the diameter and area of ​​the bottle body 1.

[0043] The base 14 includes a base column 140 and a base plate 142. The top end of the base column 140 is screwed to the center of the bottom side of the base plate 11. The bottom end of the base column 140 is mounted on the base plate 142. Several mounting holes 141 are distributed on the base plate 142.

[0044] A matching fixing seat is screwed into the mounting hole 141; when there is a matching fixing seat at the grassy area to be measured, the base 14 can be installed on the fixing seat through the mounting hole 141.

[0045] A detachable gripping component is installed at the mounting hole 141. The gripping component includes a limiting member 41, a connecting member 42, and a support cone 43. The first end of the connecting member 42 is screwed to the limiting member 41 through the mounting hole 141, and the second end of the connecting member 42 is fixedly connected to the support cone 43. Several barbs 44 are distributed on the cone portion of the support cone 43. When there is no suitable fixed seat at the grassy area to be measured, the base 14 is installed on the ground through the gripping component structure. In this embodiment, the height can be adjusted by connecting members 42 of different heights.

[0046] In this embodiment, optionally, the anti-evaporation drainage mechanism 12 includes a funnel and a conduit. The funnel has a first end and a second end, and the inner diameter of the funnel gradually decreases from the first end to the second end. The conduit is installed at the second end, and the first end is closer to the top of the bottle body 1 than the second end. It should be understood that both the funnel and the conduit can be made of plastic, and they are integrally molded by injection molding or other methods, resulting in high sealing performance, high structural strength, and long service life.

[0047] Optionally, the bottle body 1 comprises multiple interconnected sub-body sections, each containing an anti-evaporation drainage mechanism 12. This design allows for the selection of the number of sub-body sections as needed, resulting in bottle bodies 1 of varying sizes and heights to suit different application scenarios. Furthermore, the independent design of each sub-body reduces processing difficulty and facilitates manufacturing. Installing the anti-evaporation drainage mechanism 12 within each sub-body also reduces operational complexity, facilitates quick and easy installation, increases assembly efficiency, and lowers assembly costs.

[0048] For example, in one feasible approach, adjacent components can be fixedly connected via a threaded structure, with a sealing layer between them. The sealing layer can be Teflon tape. It should be understood that connecting adjacent components via a threaded structure is convenient and quick, and has a self-locking function, making it difficult for them to detach.

[0049] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the outer circumferential surface of the funnel and the inner wall surface of the product, which has a good anti-evaporation effect.

[0050] It should be understood that liquid flow meters can be high-precision liquid flow meters.

[0051] As described above, the working process of the portable rainfall measurement device for ecological positioning observation points provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] In this embodiment, the device is installed at the location to be measured through the mounting hole 141, at a certain height from the ground. Rainwater enters the bottle 1 through the rain inlet 10, and the evaporated rainwater is collected on the device by the anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12, eventually gathering on the bottom plate 11 and flowing into the pipe 2 along the slope of the bottom plate 11. The liquid flow meter 3 at the pipe 2 can measure the accumulated amount of rainwater during this time period. The rainwater flows into the water storage tank through the output end 21 of the pipe 2. Finally, the rainfall in the location range of this embodiment can be obtained by dividing the accumulated amount of rainwater by the diameter and area of ​​the rain inlet 10. When this embodiment is not in use, it can be disassembled through the mounting hole 141, cleaned, kept dry, and the top cover can be installed at the rain inlet 10.

[0053] The portable rainfall measuring device for ecological positioning observation points provided in this embodiment uses an anti-evaporation diversion mechanism 12 to divert rainwater while preventing evaporation from affecting the rainfall measurement results. When not in use, the top cover prevents debris from entering the bottle 1, keeping the interior of the bottle 1 dry and clean. The slope structure of the base plate 11 allows rainwater to collect at the pipe 2, preventing water from dripping onto the base plate 11 and affecting the rainfall measurement results. A liquid flow meter 3 measures the flow velocity and flow rate of rainwater, and then calculates the rainfall in the area where the embodiment is located. A water storage tank stores the rainwater flowing through the pipe 2 and the rainwater at the device's location, allowing for water reuse. The height of the bottle 1 from the ground can be adjusted using connectors 42 of different heights. Furthermore, this embodiment is simple in structure, easy to operate, and highly flexible.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
