Description

It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.

[0029] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a de-icing device for a wind measurement tower, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes: a connecting mechanism 100 for connecting to the meteorological tower 400; and a de-icing assembly 200 connected to the connecting mechanism 100, which is capable of reciprocating extension and retraction relative to the meteorological tower 400 to remove ice from the meteorological tower 400.

[0030] The de-icing device for a wind measuring tower provided by this utility model includes a connecting mechanism 100 and a de-icing assembly 200. The connecting mechanism 100 is connected to the wind measuring tower 400, and the de-icing assembly 200 is connected to the connecting mechanism 100. The de-icing assembly 200 can reciprocate and extend relative to the wind measuring tower 400. During the de-icing process, the connecting mechanism 100 hoists the de-icing assembly 200 to a corresponding height position on the wind measuring tower 400. The de-icing assembly 200 reciprocates and extends relative to the wind measuring tower 400 at the corresponding height position of the ice accumulation on the wind measuring tower 400 to remove the ice at that position. Thus, on the one hand, the de-icing efficiency is greatly improved; on the other hand, manual de-icing is eliminated, avoiding the risks of manual high-altitude operations.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, the de-icing assembly 200 includes: a fixed housing 210 connected to the connecting mechanism 100; a de-icing linkage mechanism 220 connected inside the fixed housing 210 and capable of extending from the inside of the fixed housing 210 to the outside; and a power mechanism 300 connected to the de-icing linkage mechanism 220, which is used to drive the de-icing linkage mechanism 220 to reciprocate and extend relative to the wind measurement tower 400.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the power mechanism 300 includes: a driving gear 310; a driven gear 320, which meshes with the driving gear 310; and a rotary drive device 330, which is connected to the driving gear 310.

[0033] The de-icing linkage mechanism 220 includes: a transmission rod, one end of which is connected to the driven gear 320; and a de-icing rod 223, one end of which is connected to the other end of the transmission rod, and the other end of which extends from the inside of the fixed housing 210 to the outside.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, the transmission rod includes: a first transmission rod 221, one end of which is connected to the driven gear 320; and a second transmission rod 222, one end of which is connected to the other end of the first transmission rod 221, and the other end of which is connected to the de-icing rod 223.

[0035] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the fixed box 210 includes: a base plate 211; a top cover 212, the top cover 212 being fitted onto the base plate 211; and a gear fixing post 213, the gear fixing post 213 being connected to the base plate 211 and used to fix the driven gear 320.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the fixed box 210 further includes: an ice removal groove 214, which extends to the bottom plate 211 and is used to allow the ice removal rod 223 to extend and retract.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the fixed housing 210 includes a base plate 211, a top cover 212, and a gear fixing post 213. The top cover is connected to the upper side of the base plate 211, forming an accommodating space between them. The de-icing linkage mechanism 220 is arranged within this accommodating space. For example, the rotary drive device 330 is a motor. The motor is arranged outside the fixed housing 210. A through hole is provided on the base plate 211, and a drive gear 310 is provided at the through hole position. The output shaft of the motor passes through the through hole to the inner side of the base plate 211 and is connected to the drive gear 310. A gear fixing post 213 is provided on the base plate 211. The center hole of the driven gear 320 is fitted onto the gear fixing post 213, and the driven gear 320 meshes with the drive gear 310. One end of the first transmission rod 221 is eccentrically connected to the driven gear 320, and the other end of the first transmission rod 221 is rotatably connected to one end of the second transmission rod 222. One end of the second transmission rod 222 is rotatably connected to one end of the de-icing rod 223. A de-icing groove 214 is provided on the base plate 211. The de-icing rod 223 is slidably connected to the de-icing groove 214. The other end of the de-icing rod 223 can extend from inside the fixed box 210 to outside the fixed box 210 through the de-icing groove 214.

[0038] During the de-icing process, the motor drives the drive gear 310 to rotate the driven gear 320. The driven gear 320, through the first transmission rod 221 and the second transmission rod 222, drives the de-icing rod 223 to extend and retract along the de-icing chute 214. The de-icing rod 223 reciprocates at the corresponding height position, thereby removing the ice at the corresponding position.

[0040] For example, in Figures 1 to 3 In the illustrated embodiment, within the fixed housing 210, with the center of the driving gear 310 as the array center, there are three sets of driven gears 320 and de-icing linkage mechanisms 220 arranged in a circular array. This significantly improves the de-icing efficiency of the de-icing device for wind measurement towers.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting mechanism 100 includes: a fixing ring 110, which is connected to the fixing box 210; and a connecting body 120, one end of which is connected to the wind measuring tower 400, and the other end of which is connected to the fixing ring 110.

[0042] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting body 120 includes: a telescopic hinge, one end of which is connected to the fixed truss at the top of the wind measuring tower 400, and the other end of which is connected to the fixed ring 110.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a fixing ring 110 is provided on the outer side of the top cover 212. One end of the telescopic hinge is connected to the fixed truss at the top of the wind measurement tower 400, and the other end of the telescopic hinge is connected to the fixing ring 110. During the de-icing process, by adjusting the length of the telescopic hinge, the de-icing assembly 200 can be hoisted to different heights to remove ice at different heights, thereby greatly improving the de-icing efficiency.

[0044] A second aspect of this utility model provides a wind measurement tower assembly, including: a wind measurement tower 400 and a wind measurement tower de-icing device 500 as described above. The wind measurement tower de-icing device 500 is connected to the wind measurement tower 400.

[0045] Furthermore, the wind measurement tower assembly provided by this utility model includes the wind measurement tower de-icing device 500 as described above, and therefore also possesses the advantages described above.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
