[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 1 A meteorological observation device for use in uninhabited high-altitude areas includes a skid-mounted support 1, a control mechanism, a fixed-point meteorological monitoring component, and a mobile meteorological monitoring component.

[0028] The system includes a skid-mounted bracket 1 with a base plate with through holes and a mounting plate with suspension holes; a control mechanism including a control cabinet 3 mounted on the skid-mounted bracket 1, which contains an energy storage unit and a communication control unit, electrically connected to the energy storage unit; heat dissipation holes on the side wall of the control cabinet 3 and a dustproof mechanism covering the heat dissipation holes; a fixed-point weather monitoring component including a support column 2 fixedly mounted on the skid-mounted bracket 1, on which a first sensor unit connected to the communication control unit and a photovoltaic panel 4 electrically connected to the energy storage unit via a solar controller are mounted; and a mobile weather monitoring component including a recovery mechanism fixedly mounted on the top surface of the control cabinet 3, a recyclable drone body 31 with wireless charging function stored in the recovery mechanism, and a second sensor unit 32 mounted on the drone body 31.

[0029] This application enables rapid installation of the equipment through the skid-mounted bracket 1, improving work efficiency. By combining fixed-point meteorological monitoring components with mobile meteorological monitoring components, the monitoring range is expanded, and more effective data is recorded for subsequent meteorological research.

[0030] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dustproof mechanism includes a protective cover 5 disposed on the side wall of the control cabinet 3 and covered with heat dissipation holes. A guide hole is provided on the bottom surface of the protective cover 5, and a guide shield 6 is provided around the guide hole. A dustproof net 15 is also provided at the guide hole. A cleaning unit for cleaning the dustproof net 15 is provided in the protective cover 5. The cleaning unit includes a lead screw 11 and a guide rod 12 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the protective cover 5. A first gear 10 is keyed onto the lead screw 11. A mounting plate 13 that slides with the guide rod 12 is threaded onto the lead screw 11. Brush bristles 14 that fit against the dustproof net 15 are provided on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 13. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the protective cover 5. A first reduction motor 8 is provided on the connecting plate 7, and the output shaft of the first reduction motor 8 is connected to a second gear 9 that meshes with the first gear 10. Specifically, in conjunction with… Figures 2-4 As shown, the communication control unit uses a microcontroller of model STM32H750XBH6. This controller has a built-in high-precision A / D conversion module and timer, which can control the first geared motor 8 to work according to the set interval. When the set time is reached, the communication control unit drives the first geared motor 8 (model 28BYJ-48) to run through the PWM signal. The gear transmission drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, so that the mounting plate 13 moves horizontally along the guide rod 12. The bristles 14 continuously clean the surface of the dustproof net 15 to remove the attached sand and dust, ensuring smooth ventilation of the heat dissipation holes. At the same time, the air guide 6 and the heat dissipation holes form an inclined air channel. Together with the dustproof net 15 at the air guide holes, it can not only block sand and dust from entering, but also use natural wind pressure to assist in heat dissipation.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, a cooling fan 16 connected to the communication control unit is installed in the air guide shroud 6. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the cooling fan 16 is an axial fan of Delta AFB0612SH, which has an IP68 protection rating and is suitable for harsh high-altitude environments. The communication control unit controls the cooling fan 16 to start and stop through the GPIO port according to the set program, so as to lead the swept dust to the outside of the control cabinet 3 and enhance the cooling effect.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the recycling mechanism includes a first connecting rod 19 disposed on the top surface of the control cabinet 3. The first connecting rod 19 is hollow, and a rack 23 is slidably mounted on its hollow portion. The top end of the rack 23 is connected to a platform base plate 25. A third gear 24 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting rod 19 and meshes with the rack 23. A second reduction motor 20 for driving the third gear 24 is mounted on the first connecting rod 19. Second connecting rods 18 are arranged around the platform base plate 25 on the control cabinet 3. Each second connecting rod 18 is rotatably mounted with a slide block 17. A slide groove 29 is formed on the slide block 17, and a first gear 20 is provided in the slide groove 29. Slider 28 and second slider 26. Platform side plate 21 is fixedly connected to the first slider 28. A connecting rod 27 is rotatably connected to the second slider 26, with the other end of the connecting rod 27 rotatably connected to the platform base plate 25. A third slider 30 is slidably mounted on two opposing slide blocks 17. A platform top plate 22, overlapping the top surface of the platform side plate 21, is rotatably mounted on the two third sliders 30. A torsion spring on the rotating shaft presses the platform top plate 22 against the top surface of the platform side plate 21. The two platform top plates 22, together with the platform base plate 25 and platform side plate 21, form a closed storage cavity. An emitting electrode plate or emitting coil is mounted on the platform base plate 25. Specifically, as... Figures 5-8 As shown, the drone body 31 adopts the DJI Matrice M300RTK model, which has centimeter-level positioning accuracy and long endurance. When the drone returns after completing the monitoring mission, the communication control unit obtains the drone's location information in real time through the UWB positioning module (model DW1000). Within 50 meters of the drone, the second reduction motor 20 (model N20) is started to drive the third gear 24 to rotate, which drives the rack 23 to rise. The platform base plate 25 rises synchronously, and the linkage 27 mechanism pushes the platform side plate 21 to unfold outward. The platform top plate 22 automatically flips open under the action of the torsion spring. After the drone lands on the platform base plate 25, the communication control unit controls the second reduction motor 20 to reverse, and the platform base plate 25 descends to close the storage cavity. The wireless charging transmitting coil (model TX15W) on the platform base plate 25 cooperates with the receiving coil at the bottom of the drone to charge according to the Qi wireless charging standard, and the charging efficiency can reach more than 85%.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support column 2 is also equipped with a monitoring camera electrically connected to the communication control unit. Specifically, the monitoring camera is a Hikvision DS-2CD3T47FWDV2-IS model, which has 4-megapixel high-definition shooting and infrared night vision functions. The communication control unit is connected to the monitoring camera via an Ethernet interface (RJ45) and transmits video data in real time in H.265 encoding format. The camera has a built-in AI image recognition algorithm, which can automatically detect abnormal situations around the equipment, such as sand and dust burial, animal damage, etc., and send alarm information to the remote monitoring center through the 4G communication module (Quectel EC20 model) built into the communication control unit, so that staff can take timely maintenance measures. At the same time, the image data collected by the camera can also provide visual assistance for the landing of the drone. Through the feature point matching algorithm, the drone is guided to land accurately on the recovery platform.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, both the first sensor unit and the second sensor unit 32 adopt any one or more combinations of temperature sensor, humidity sensor, air pressure sensor, wind direction sensor, wind speed sensor, lightning detector, rain sensor, precipitation type sensor, solar radiation sensor and illuminance sensor, and are electrically connected to the communication control unit. Specifically, the temperature sensor (DS18B20), humidity sensor (HIH-4000-3), and barometric pressure sensor (BMP280) in the first sensor unit are connected to the communication control unit via a single-bus protocol to collect ground meteorological data in real time. The wind direction sensor (WX-01) and wind speed sensor (FS-01) use the RS485 communication protocol to transmit wind direction and wind speed data to the communication control unit. The second sensor unit 32 is mounted on the UAV body 31. Among them, the lightning detector (LD-01), rain sensor (RY-01), solar radiation sensor (TBQ-2), and other devices are integrated with the UAV flight control system via a CAN bus, and then the data is transmitted back to the communication control unit via the wireless data transmission module (Si4463). The communication control unit uses a multi-sensor data fusion algorithm to calibrate and analyze data from different sources, generate a high-precision meteorological monitoring report, and upload it to the cloud server via a 4G network or a Beidou satellite communication module (model RD01).

[0035] In summary, this utility model coordinates the operation of various components through a communication control unit, and combines drones with multiple types of sensors to achieve efficient collection and transmission of meteorological data in uninhabited plateau areas. The skid-mounted bracket 1, in conjunction with the hoisting structure, enables the equipment to be quickly installed and deployed in complex terrain. Automatic cleaning reduces the average annual failure rate of the equipment and improves its stability. The combination of drone mobile monitoring and fixed-point monitoring expands the range of meteorological data collection.
