Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data acquisition technology, and more specifically to a weather station data acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Meteorological data collection mainly involves collecting data such as ambient temperature, ambient humidity, wind direction, wind speed, light intensity, and rainfall. With the development of technology, modern meteorological data collection primarily utilizes corresponding sensors.

[0003] According to announcement number CN221378282U, announcement date: July 19, 2024, a small weather station data acquisition device with multiple sensors is disclosed. This device relates to the field of small weather station data acquisition technology and aims to solve the problems of existing weather data acquisition equipment being inconvenient to move with personnel, difficult to assemble and disassemble on-site, limited in simultaneous multiple data acquisition, and having insufficient overall practicality. The key technical points include a mounting base with multiple connecting sockets fixedly connected to its side surface. Each connecting socket has slots and notches on one side of its outer surface and edge. A connecting block is inserted into the slot of the connecting socket, and a screw is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block's outer surface, with the screw engaging in the notch. This achieves the effect of convenient on-site disassembly and assembly, easy location transfer, and simultaneous multiple data acquisition operations.

[0004] In the prior art, including the aforementioned patents, the mounting base is fixed to the ground by a support chassis and bolts, and a mounting plate is fixed by a horizontally extending screw on the mounting base. Sensors can be installed on the mounting plate to collect meteorological data. However, the screw is horizontally extending, and the mounting base is often placed outdoors. Birds can easily stand on the horizontal screw, and bird droppings are highly corrosive. When birds stand on the screw, their droppings can easily fall onto the support chassis and bolts, causing corrosion damage. This leads to corrosion of the support chassis, reducing its support stability for the mounting base, and corrosion of the bolts, making them difficult to disassemble and assemble.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a weather station data acquisition device includes a column 1 and bolts 2. A horizontally extending crossbeam 11 is symmetrically arranged on the column 1. The end of the crossbeam 11 is provided with a mounting part 111 for arranging sensors. A base 12 is provided at the bottom of the column 1. The base 12 is fixedly installed to the ground by bolts 2. A first rotating ring 3 and a second rotating ring 4 are coaxially rotatably sleeved on the crossbeam 11.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the bottom of the column 1 is a base 12, which can be fixed to the ground by bolts 2 to complete the installation of the column 1. Then, sensors are arranged on the mounting part 111 of the crossbeam 11 to collect data. The first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 are coaxially rotatably sleeved on the crossbeam 11. When a bird stands on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4, since the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 can rotate freely, the inertia of the bird landing on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 and the bird's own weight will drive the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 to rotate axially, making it difficult for the bird to stand on the crossbeam 11. This avoids the problem of bird droppings falling on the base 12 and bolts 2 and causing corrosion, thus improving the service life and support stability of the column 1.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 can rotate freely. The inertia of the bird landing on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 and the bird's own weight will drive the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 to rotate axially, making it difficult for the bird to stand on the crossbeam 11. This avoids the problem of bird droppings falling on the base 12 and bolt 2 and causing corrosion, and improves the service life and support stability of the column 1.

[0030] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 are arranged to rotate synchronously in opposite directions.

[0031] Specifically, the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 are arranged to rotate in opposite directions on the same axis. That is, when the first rotating ring 3 rotates clockwise, the second rotating ring 4 rotates counterclockwise at the same time, and when the first rotating ring 3 rotates counterclockwise, the second rotating ring 4 rotates clockwise at the same time. When a bird lands on the first rotating ring 3 and causes the first rotating ring 3 to rotate, the second rotating ring 4 rotates in opposite directions on the same axis to give the bird an additional fright, thereby further preventing the bird from landing on the crossbeam 11.

[0032] Furthermore, a mounting section 113 is provided on the crossbeam portion 11, on which threaded columns 5 are rotatably arranged in a circumferential array. An external gear ring portion 32 is provided on the first rotating ring 3, and an internal gear ring portion 42 is provided on the second rotating ring 4. The external gear ring portion 32 and the internal gear ring portion 42 are arranged coaxially, and the threaded columns 5 are simultaneously coupled between the external gear ring portion 32 and the internal gear ring portion 42. The threaded columns 5 are rotatably arranged on the mounting section 113 so that the outer side of the threaded columns 5 is coupled with the internal gear ring portion 42, and the inner side of the threaded columns 5 is coupled with the external gear ring portion 32. This utilizes the transmission of the threaded columns 5 to achieve synchronous counter-rotation of the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4, improving the stability of synchronous rotation between the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4.

[0033] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, counterweights 8 are respectively arranged in the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4, and the angle difference between the counterweights 8 on the first rotating ring 3 and the counterweights 8 on the second rotating ring 4 is 180 degrees.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a counterweight bar 8 is arranged in the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 respectively. Since the angle difference between the counterweight bar 8 on the first rotating ring 3 and the counterweight bar 8 on the second rotating ring 4 is 180 degrees, when the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 are not subjected to external force, the presence of the counterweight bar 8 keeps the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4 on the same horizontal plane. However, if a bird lands on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4, one of the counterweight bars 8 rotates vertically upward and the other counterweight bar 8 rotates vertically downward. Then, the gravitational potential energy difference between the two counterweight bars 8 is used to drive the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 to complete one full rotation, thereby avoiding the problem of birds repeatedly landing on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4 and improving the bird deterrence stability of the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4.

[0035] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, a plurality of air guide plates 33 are arranged in a circular array on the first rotating ring 3, and the air guide plates 33 are all partially spiral.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air guide plates 33 of the first rotating ring 3 are partially spiral. When the first rotating ring 3 is driven to rotate, the air guide plates 33 rotate circumferentially to generate wind along the axial direction of the first rotating ring 3, thereby blowing and cleaning the sensor on the mounting part 111, which is convenient for actual use.

[0037] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, a plurality of extension plates 43 are arranged in a circular array on the second rotating ring 4, and the extension plates 43 are perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating ring 4.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the extension plate 43 arranged on the second rotating ring 4 can firstly balance the weight between the second rotating ring 4 and the first rotating ring 3, thereby improving the synchronous rotation stability between the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4. Secondly, the extension plate 43 is perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating ring 4. When the second rotating ring 4 is blown by the outside natural wind, the extension plate 43 can also drive the second rotating ring 4 to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating ring 3 to rotate, thereby further preventing birds from landing on the first rotating ring 3 or the second rotating ring 4. In addition, the first rotating ring 3 also rotates so that the wind guide plate 33 rotates circumferentially to generate wind along the axial direction of the first rotating ring 3, thereby improving the wind resistance of the crossbeam 11 and improving the installation stability of the sensor.

[0039] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the extension plate 43 is provided with symmetrical through holes 431, and both ends of the through holes 431 are provided with chamfers.

[0040] Specifically, when the second rotating ring 4 is blown by the outside natural wind, the extension plate 43 can also drive the second rotating ring 4 to rotate. The extension plate 43 is driven to rotate axially so that the outside natural wind passes through the through hole 431. Due to the presence of the chamfer at both ends of the through hole 431, the outside natural wind first flows into the through hole 431 at high speed due to the chamfer, and then flows out quickly along the chamfer at the other end, thereby creating noise for bird deterrence and further preventing birds from landing on the crossbeam 11.

[0041] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, a first rotating part 31 is provided on the first rotating ring 3, and a second rotating part 41 is provided on the second rotating ring 4. The first rotating part 31 and the second rotating part 41 are respectively rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 112 opened in the crossbeam part 11.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating part 31 and the second rotating part 41 are respectively rotatably disposed in the rotating groove 112 opened in the crossbeam part 11 to improve the rotational stability of the first rotating ring 3 and the second rotating ring 4.

[0043] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a conical shield 7 is also included, which is axially slidably arranged on the column 1 to shield the base 12 and the bolt 2.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the shield 7 is conical in shape to cover the base 12 and bolt 2, thereby further preventing bird droppings or rainwater from corroding the base 12 and bolt 2, and further improving the protection of the column 1, base 12 and bolt 2.

[0045] As a further embodiment provided in this utility model, the top of the column 1 is provided with a top cone portion 13.

[0046] Specifically, the top of the column 1 is provided with a top cone 13 to further prevent birds from landing on the top of the column 1.

[0047] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
