Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of observation technology, and in particular to an integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room. Background Technology
[0002] The observation room is the building component that forms a continuous observation reference station deployed in the field environment. It involves the specialized observation building design and complex environment adaptability technology of the BeiDou Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS). The design of the observation room includes modules such as BeiDou high-precision positioning, multi-sensor collaborative monitoring, intelligent environmental control (temperature and humidity / electromagnetic shielding), self-sufficiency energy system, and remote data transmission. It can be applied to meteorological and hydrological observation, land surveying and mapping reference station construction, etc., and has high environmental tolerance, all-weather data acquisition and rapid deployment capabilities, serving the construction of national space infrastructure and emergency monitoring system.
[0003] However, the current construction cycle of observation rooms is long, which is not conducive to rapid deployment in the field. Therefore, how to design the structure of observation rooms to reduce the deployment cycle of continuous field observation base stations is an important issue. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room, which can help reduce the deployment cycle of field continuous observation reference stations.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an integrated continuous operation base station observation room in the field. The integrated continuous operation base station observation room includes a modular cabin, communication equipment, office equipment, and power distribution equipment. The modular cabin includes multiple side walls enclosing an interior space on the ground, and a top wall covering the side walls. At least one of the side walls has a passageway communicating with the interior space, and a door that can close / open the passageway. The interior space is divided into a work area and an electrical area that are isolated from each other. The communication equipment includes an antenna mounted on the outside of the modular cabin and a communication module mounted inside the interior space; the antenna is connected to the communication module. The office equipment is located in the work area, including a desk abutting against at least part of the side walls and a chair adjacent to the desk. The power distribution equipment is located in the electrical area and is used to distribute electrical energy.
[0006] This application provides an integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room, which uses a modular container as its main building structure.

Simultaneously, the interior space enclosed by the multiple side walls of the container can accommodate other components and provide office and rest areas for staff. By using an integrated modular structure for the construction of the integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room, the construction period can be effectively shortened, thereby reducing the deployment cycle of the field continuous observation reference station.

[0012] In some implementations, the field integrated continuously operating reference station observation room also includes a solar power generation device installed on the side of the ceiling away from the interior space.
[0013] In some implementations, the field integrated continuously operating reference station observation room also includes a storage cabinet, which is located in the indoor space and is abutted against at least one side wall.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this application to enable readers to better understand this application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented. The division of the various embodiments below is for the convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of this application. The various embodiments can be combined with and referenced by each other without contradiction.
[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
[0022] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] To achieve location monitoring, numerous GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) reference stations have been established in the field. These reference stations are compatible with signals from satellite navigation systems such as BeiDou, GPS (Global Positioning System), GLONASS, and Galileo, providing real-time sub-meter accuracy services to the public and real-time centimeter accuracy and post-event millimeter accuracy services to professional users. They can also provide data support for earthquake research, geological disaster monitoring, and other applications. These reference stations can operate continuously 24 hours a day to monitor crustal movement, gravity field morphology, and changes.
[0024] Currently, the construction of fixed GNSS reference stations in the infrastructure phase is lengthy, with long civil engineering periods, followed by the laying of power and communication systems, and the later commissioning and installation of GNSS equipment. This significantly hinders the rapid deployment of continuous GNSS field observation reference stations. In the construction of the observation room, if it's a newly built observation room, from foundation construction to the completion of the main structure and interior decoration, it generally takes one to two months. If an existing building is being renovated, the time is relatively shorter, but still around one month. The laying of power and communication systems, including power line access, installation of distribution boxes, and laying of communication lines, takes approximately one to two weeks. During the equipment installation and commissioning phase, BeiDou GNSS receivers, antennas, meteorological sensors, and data communication equipment are procured according to the design plan. The equipment delivery time depends on the procurement channels and the degree of customization, generally taking several weeks. Installing the equipment in the designated location, completing the antenna erection, receiver connection, and meteorological sensor installation, takes approximately one to two weeks. The entire observation system needs to be debugged, including equipment parameter configuration, data acquisition and transmission testing, and positioning accuracy testing, to ensure that the system can operate normally. This process takes one to two weeks.
[0025] If an existing building is converted into an observation room, and then the interior is renovated to integrate environmental monitoring sensors, temperature control, network systems, and security systems, the existing building structure (such as load-bearing walls and pipes) will restrict sensor placement. Furthermore, additional structural reinforcement and re-laying of pipelines will be required, resulting in a long renovation period and uncontrollable maintenance costs (such as repairing wall leaks). Ordinary buildings often lack adequate security and fire protection, posing high physical security risks to equipment and data, and failing to meet the surveying industry's confidentiality requirements for base stations. The ownership or use of the existing building may also be subject to planning restrictions.
[0026] To enable rapid deployment of continuous observation base stations in the field, some embodiments of this application provide an integrated continuous operation base station observation room. The integrated continuous operation base station observation room adopts a modular container structure, which overcomes the problem of long construction cycles associated with traditional buildings. Furthermore, the integrated container structure eliminates the hidden costs and space limitations of building modifications, and can adapt to the needs of technological iteration and diversified missions.
[0027] The following is combined Figures 1 to 3 This application describes the structure of an integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room provided in some embodiments.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in some embodiments of this application, a field integrated continuously operating reference station observation room includes a modular container 11, communication equipment, office equipment, and a power distribution device 123. The modular container 11 includes multiple side walls 111 enclosing an interior space 1101 on the ground, and a top wall 112 covering the multiple side walls 111. At least one of the multiple side walls 111 is provided with a passageway communicating with the interior space 1101, and a door 113 that can close / open the passageway. The interior space 1101 is provided with a mutually isolated work area 1102 and an electrical area 1103. The communication equipment includes an antenna disposed on the outside of the modular container 11, and a communication module disposed within the interior space 1101, with the antenna connected to the communication module. The office equipment is disposed in the work area 1102, including a desk 121 abutting against at least part of the side walls 111, and a chair 122 adjacent to the desk 121. The power distribution device 123 is disposed in the electrical area 1103 and is used to distribute electrical energy.
[0029] The modular container 11 forms the main structure of the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room. The container 11 can be quickly assembled in the field to shorten the construction cycle. The container 11 is assembled using a modular structure, with side walls 111 forming around it, enclosing an interior space 1101. The interior space 1101 can accommodate other components and provide office space for staff. The different side walls 111 can be connected using detachable fasteners to form a stable overall structure. The top wall 112 is located at the top of the container 11 and can enclose the interior space 1101. The interior of the container 11 can also accommodate various interfaces and cables or data transmission lines to facilitate the construction of power grids or communication networks. The container 11 can be mounted as a whole on a base 101 and elevated using pads 102. The interior space 1101 can accommodate cameras 103, LED lights 104, and smoke detectors 105.
[0030] The door 113 on the side wall 111 can be opened or closed. When the door 113 is open, personnel can freely enter or leave the interior space 1101. When the door 113 is closed, the passage on the side wall 111 can be sealed off to ensure the safety of the interior of the modular shelter 11. Personnel can use the office equipment provided in the work area 1102 for work and rest. The office equipment includes a desk 121 and a chair 122.
[0031] The antenna of the communication device can receive position signals from different satellite navigation systems such as BeiDou or GPS, and establish communication connections with the outside world through the communication module. This forms the detection and communication components of the base station.
[0032] The power distribution unit 123 can provide power to the entire observation room, distributing and controlling the power input from the outside or the power generated by its own generator, thus enabling the entire observation room to operate in an electrified environment. The power distribution unit 123 can be a common 220-volt indoor distribution box.
[0033] This application provides an integrated, continuously operating field reference station observation room in some embodiments, comprising a modular container body 11 as the main building. The container body 11 is formed by assembling and connecting multiple side walls 111 and a top wall 112. Both the side walls 111 and the top wall 112 employ a modular structural design, allowing for arbitrary splicing and assembly to form a unified structure. Simultaneously, the interior space 1101 enclosed by the multiple side walls 111 of the container body 11 can accommodate other components and provide office and rest areas for staff. By employing an integrated modular structure for the observation room's building, the construction period can be effectively shortened, thereby reducing the deployment cycle of the field continuous observation reference station.
[0034] In some embodiments, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may also include a plurality of support members 13 arranged near the ground and spaced apart, with each support member 13 having its two ends connected to different side walls 111.
[0035] The support member 13 can connect different side walls 111. Simultaneously, the support member 13 isolates the ground, forming the bottom of the interior space 1101 at an appropriate height above the ground. Flooring 14 can be laid on the support member 13 to form a complete plane, cooperating with the multiple side walls 111 and the ceiling wall 112 to form an integrated interior space 1101. The support member 13 can adopt a strip-like or plate-like structure and a modular design for assembly and splicing with the side walls 111, ensuring the stability of the overall structure.
[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may also include a floor 14, which is laid on multiple support members 13.
[0037] The floor 14 forms the bottom surface of the indoor space 1101, isolating it from the ground in the outdoor environment and preventing the indoor space 1101 from being affected by the outdoor environment. The floor 14 is supported by the support members 13, forming a relatively flat plane inside the container body 11. In practice, the support members 13 can be connected to the frame that defines the installation position of the side walls 111 to ensure the stability of the overall structure.
[0038] In addition, the observation room of the field integrated continuous operation reference station may also include a bottom perforated plate 142, and the floor 14 is provided with a hollow area 141. The bottom perforated plate 142 is detachably connected to the floor 14 and the hollow area 141 is closed.
[0039] The bottom perforated plate 142 fits into the floor 14. The bottom perforated plate 142 can be disassembled to allow staff to observe the bottom of the floor 14. In other words, by removing the bottom perforated plate 142, the perforated area 141 can be opened to form an observation channel. After observation, the bottom perforated plate 142 can be reconnected to seal the perforated area 141, ensuring the sealing and safety of the bottom of the indoor space 1101.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the plurality of sidewalls 111 may include a first sidewall 1111 and a second sidewall 1112 disposed opposite to each other along a first direction, and a third sidewall 1113 and a fourth sidewall 1114 disposed opposite to each other along a second direction, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0041] The modular shelter body 11 can be assembled using four side walls 111, forming pairs of side walls 111, with the two side walls 111 in each pair positioned opposite each other. The four side walls 111 can enclose an interior space 1101 with either a square or a rectangular outer perimeter. This ensures a regular shape for the interior space 1101, facilitating the orderly arrangement of other components. In practice, the number of side walls 111 is not limited to four; it can be fewer or more than four.
[0042] In addition, the length of the first sidewall 1111 in the second direction is greater than the length of the third sidewall 1113 in the first direction.
[0043] In other words, the side walls 111 in different directions adopt different lengths. The side walls 111 with different lengths can be used to form a cuboid-shaped interior space 1101, which improves the working comfort of the staff and increases the utilization rate of the interior space 1101.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may also include a solar power generation device 15, which is installed on the side of the top wall 112 away from the indoor space 1101.
[0045] The solar power generation device 15 uses photovoltaic panels, which can be directly installed on the top surface of the top wall 112. Electricity can be obtained through the solar power generation device 15 to ensure the normal operation of the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room. In practice, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room can also be equipped with a generator 124 for power generation. The indoor space 1101 can be equipped with a generator compartment 1104 to accommodate the generator 124.
[0046] In some embodiments, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may further include a storage cabinet 16, which is disposed in the indoor space 1101 and abuts against at least one side wall 111.
[0047] The locker 16 can provide independent storage space for the arrangement of components.
[0048] In addition, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may also include a temperature control device 17, and the indoor space 1101 is provided with an airflow zone 1105 adjacent to the working area 1102, and the temperature control device 17 is located in the airflow zone 1105.
[0049] The temperature control device 17 can control the temperature of the indoor space 1101. The temperature control device 17 can be an air conditioner, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be arranged in the airflow zone 1105 of the indoor space 1101. The temperature control device 17 is set up near the work area 1102, which can play a good role in temperature control of the work area 1102, thereby improving the working comfort of the staff.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the field integrated continuous operation reference station observation room may also include a lightning rod 18, which is installed on the side of the top wall 112 away from the indoor space 1101 and is grounded.
[0051] The lightning rod 18 can protect the main body of the cabin 11 from lightning strikes in the field.
[0052] This application provides a highly integrated, environmentally adaptable, and rapidly deployable continuous field observation container, overcoming the drawbacks of long construction cycles in traditional buildings. Through a modular container structure, millimeter-level stability of GNSS equipment in complex terrain and extreme climates can be ensured, achieving a constant operating environment (±0.5℃) and low electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing GNSS signal reception quality and sensor data accuracy. It can operate independently of municipal power supply and wired networks, integrating a hybrid power supply system of solar power generation and energy storage batteries, and redundant multi-mode communication (5G / BeiDou short message / satellite link) transmission modules, achieving energy self-sufficiency and all-weather data backhaul, adapting to deployment in remote areas without infrastructure. Pre-installed standardized sensor interfaces and a distributed monitoring network support plug-and-play functionality for multi-source sensors such as meteorological, tilt, and vibration sensors. Eliminating the hidden costs and space limitations of building renovations, the integrated container design supports rapid expansion and remote maintenance of functional modules (such as radar and weather stations), reducing total lifecycle costs and adapting to technological iterations and diverse mission requirements.
[0053] Through integrated modular design, the CORS reference station achieves ready-to-use, low-maintenance, and highly reliable continuous observation capabilities in complex field environments, providing all-weather, high-precision spatial geographic information support for scenarios such as geological disaster monitoring and land surveying. The outdoor dimensions (length × width × height) of the integrated continuous-operation field reference station observation cabin are 6058mm × 2438mm × 2591mm, supporting container transport requirements and meeting road / rail transport needs. The integrated GNSS field continuous observation cabin has multi-satellite, multi-frequency GNSS signal reception capabilities, integrates multiple sensors, and possesses massive data storage and comprehensive data management functions, enabling data push and download through various methods. Regarding resistance to extreme weather and providing a more stable working environment, it adopts a specially designed shell with excellent protection, drop resistance, shock absorption, and lightning protection performance. The cabin includes functions such as temperature environment regulation, UPS, solar power, generator 124-hour power supply, and centralized management of communication equipment.
[0054] The integrated container boasts a high level of protection, offering dustproof, waterproof, and moisture-proof capabilities to ensure that internal equipment is protected from dust, rain, and moisture in harsh outdoor environments. Its robust outer shell material provides excellent shock absorption and impact resistance, effectively protecting the equipment from damage caused by accidental collisions and vibrations. An integrated energy management module, equipped with a power management system, provides a stable power supply and management for the equipment inside. It supports solar panel charging and AC / generator power (124 / 7), and can be used with batteries to meet the needs of long-term outdoor operation. An integrated environmental temperature control module, with built-in temperature and humidity sensors and other environmental monitoring equipment, monitors the internal temperature and humidity in real time and can adjust them through corresponding control devices to ensure the equipment operates within a suitable temperature and humidity range. An integrated lightning protection module incorporates lightning protection measures, including a surge protector, to prevent damage to the internal GNSS equipment from lightning induction and lightning surges. An integrated data storage and communication module features a modular design, compact structure, and easy installation. The equipment interfaces are clearly defined, facilitating installation, debugging, and maintenance by personnel. Integrated with a solar power generation module and equipped with a power management system, this modular unit supports solar panel charging and can be used in conjunction with batteries to meet the needs of long-term operation in the field. The unit employs a robust electromagnetic shielding design, effectively reducing external electromagnetic interference and ensuring the stability of GNSS signal reception, thereby improving positioning accuracy. Its structural design reduces interference caused by vibrations, ensuring that high-precision measurements by GNSS observation equipment remain unaffected. It provides a stable operating environment for GNSS observation equipment.
[0055] The modular shelter boasts a robust structure and excellent shock absorption, capable of withstanding severe weather conditions such as strong winds and torrential rains, as well as geological disasters like minor earthquakes, ensuring the accuracy and continuity of observation data. Integrating GNSS receivers, antennas, data storage and transmission equipment, power systems, and environmental monitoring equipment into a single shelter achieves integrated equipment management, reducing the footprint and installation complexity, and facilitating rapid deployment and use in the field. The shelter's internal space is rationally laid out, with reserved expansion space and interfaces, allowing users to easily add or replace observation equipment and sensors according to actual needs. Depending on different observation tasks, meteorological sensors, seismic monitoring instruments, and other equipment can be added to achieve comprehensive multi-disciplinary and multi-parameter observations. Facilitating transportation and installation, the shelter adopts a standardized design, allowing for convenient transport by truck, rail, and sea. Upon arrival at the site, only simple installation and debugging are required before deployment, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing the difficulty and cost of field operations. The shelter features robust fireproof, anti-theft, and lightning protection measures, ensuring the safety of observation equipment and personnel. In addition, it is equipped with an emergency power supply system, which can ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the continuity of observation work in the event of a power outage.
[0056] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of this application, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
