Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meteorological monitoring technology, and more specifically to a foldable meteorological device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of meteorological monitoring, accurate measurement of data such as wind speed and direction is crucial for weather forecasting, climate research, and numerous outdoor activities. Traditional meteorological monitoring equipment has certain limitations in its structural design.

[0003] On the one hand, many devices are bulky and fixed, making them inconvenient to carry and transport. Especially when conducting meteorological monitoring operations in complex terrain environments such as the field and mountains, the handling of the equipment becomes a problem, which seriously limits the flexibility and applicability of the monitoring work and makes it difficult to meet the actual needs of quickly setting up and dismantling meteorological monitoring equipment in different locations.

[0004] On the other hand, some foldable weather devices, when folded and stored, do not have a compact arrangement between their components, resulting in a still relatively large size even when folded, failing to effectively reduce their space occupation and thus affecting portability. Furthermore, the folding and unfolding process of existing devices is cumbersome, requiring multiple tools or complex steps to complete the device state transition, reducing work efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a new foldable meteorological device that can monitor the weather while also being easy to carry due to its foldable structure is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a foldable meteorological device, which aims to solve the technical problem that the traditional meteorological devices mentioned above cannot meet the requirements of rapid installation and dismantling in different locations.

[0007] A foldable weather device, comprising:

[0008] Mounting block, the mounting block is triangular prism-shaped;

[0009] The connecting rods are arranged parallel to the edges of the mounting block. There are three connecting rods, and the first end of each connecting rod is arranged corresponding to the three edges of the mounting block and is rotatably connected in a direction perpendicular to its edges. The connecting rods have a working position that can be positioned perpendicular to the central axis of the mounting block.

[0010] The air cups are arranged with their rims parallel to the edges of the mounting block. There are three air cups, each corresponding to one of the three edges of the mounting block. One side edge of each of the three air cups is fixedly connected to the second end of one of the three connecting rods.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, this utility model uses a connecting rod that is rotatably connected to the facet of the mounting block at one end, and a wind cup that is fixedly connected to the other end. The connecting rod with the wind cup can rotate to bring the three wind cups together, thereby reducing the volume in the storage state. Since the mounting block is triangular prism-shaped and its three faces are arranged at a 60-degree angle, and since the bowl ends of the three wind cups are arranged parallel to the three faces of the mounting block, during the gathering process, the bowl ends of two adjacent wind cups are also arranged at a 60-degree angle. The edge of one wind cup can enter the interior of another wind cup, further reducing the volume in the storage state. It has the characteristics of being foldable and foldable, and further reducing the volume in the storage state by utilizing the internal space of the wind cups after storage.

[0012] Preferably, a rotating ring is fixedly connected to the rod body near its first end, and a rotating column is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting block and rotatedly connected to the rotating ring. The axis of the rotating column is arranged perpendicular to the edge of the corresponding mounting block.

[0013] Preferably, the first end face of the connecting rod is provided with a threaded hole, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the connecting rod. The locking block is provided with screw through holes arranged corresponding to the threaded hole. When the connecting rod is in the working position, the screw through holes and threaded holes corresponding to the two adjacent connecting rods are aligned, and the relative positions of the two connecting rods are locked by screws.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a mounting cylinder, wherein the mounting block is coaxially arranged with and rotatably connected to the top end of the mounting cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a support plate, a second rotating column, and a bearing. The support plate is coaxially arranged with the mounting block and its upper plate surface is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block. The second rotating column is coaxially arranged with the support plate and its top end is fixedly connected to the lower plate surface of the support plate. The top end surface of the mounting cylinder is provided with a bearing mounting groove that penetrates its inner cylinder surface. The outer rotating surface of the bearing is fixedly connected to the bearing mounting groove, and the inner rotating surface of the bearing is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the second rotating column.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes a speed sensor, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder surface of the mounting cylinder, and the detection input end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating column.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes a support rod, and the bottom end of the mounting cylinder is detachably connected to the top end of the support rod.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom end of the mounting cylinder is threaded to the top end of the support rod.

[0019] Preferably, when two adjacent blocks are in the working position, the first end face of one block is spaced apart from the opposite face of the locking block of the other block.

[0020] Preferably, the axis of the connecting rod passes through the center of the cup end of the wind cup.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a foldable meteorological device with the following beneficial effects: by designing the mounting block as a triangular prism and setting three connecting rods to be rotatably connected to the three facets of the mounting block respectively, and fixing the other end of the connecting rod to the wind cup, the device can be folded up when not in use, greatly reducing the storage space and improving the portability of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0036] See appendix Figure 1-6 This utility model embodiment discloses a foldable meteorological device, including: a mounting block 1, a connecting rod 2, and a wind cup 3;

[0037] Mounting block 1 is triangular prism-shaped;

[0038] The axis of the connecting rod 2 is arranged parallel to the edge face of the mounting block 1. There are three connecting rods 2. The first end of each connecting rod 2 is arranged corresponding to the three edge faces of the mounting block 1 and is rotatably connected in a direction perpendicular to its edge face. The connecting rod 2 has a working position that can be positioned perpendicular to the central axis of the mounting block 1.

[0039] The cup end plane of the wind cup 3 is arranged parallel to the edge face of the mounting block 1. There are three wind cups 3, which are respectively arranged corresponding to the three edge faces of the mounting block 1. One side edge of the three wind cups 3 is fixedly connected to the second end of the three connecting rods 2 respectively.

[0040] See appendix Figure 6 Appendix Figure 9-12 A rotating ring 21 is fixedly connected to the rod body near its first end of the connecting rod 2. A rotating column 11, which is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 21, is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting block 1. The axis of the rotating column 11 is arranged perpendicular to the edge of its corresponding mounting block 1. This provides a stable and reliable connection structure for the rotation of the connecting rod 2, ensuring that the connecting rod 2 can rotate smoothly around the rotating column 11, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding operation of the equipment.

[0041] In this embodiment, a threaded hole 22 is provided on the first end face of the connecting rod 2, and a locking block 23 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the connecting rod 2. A screw through hole 24 corresponding to the threaded hole 22 is provided on the locking block 23. When the connecting rod 2 is in the working position, the screw through holes 24 and threaded holes 22 corresponding to the two adjacent connecting rods 2 are aligned, and the relative positions of the two connecting rods 2 are locked by screws.

[0042] Specifically, for two adjacent connecting rods 2, a screw groove 25 is provided on the end face of the locking block 23 of one of them, away from the first end of the other corresponding connecting rod 2. Thus, the screw nut can be recessed into the screw groove 25, making the overall appearance neater.

[0043] See appendix Figure 7 and 8 It also includes a mounting cylinder 4, with the mounting block 1 coaxially arranged and rotatably connected to the top end of the mounting cylinder 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, the device also includes a support plate 5, a rotating column 6, and a bearing 7. The support plate 5 is coaxially arranged with the mounting block 1, and its upper surface is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting block 1. The rotating column 6 is coaxially arranged with the support plate 5, and its top end is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 5. The top surface of the mounting cylinder 4 has a bearing mounting groove that penetrates its inner surface. The outer rotating surface of the bearing 7 is fixedly connected to the bearing mounting groove, and the inner rotating surface of the bearing 7 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical surface of the rotating column 6. Therefore, by arranging the bearing 7 between the rotating column 6 and the mounting cylinder 4, the rotation of the device is made more stable and smooth, reducing frictional loss during rotation and improving the measurement accuracy and reliability of the device.

[0045] In one embodiment, a speed sensor 8 is also included. The fixed end of the speed sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder surface of the mounting cylinder 4, and the detection input end of the speed sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating column 6. Thus, the wind speed can be measured in real time by the speed sensor 8.

[0046] Specifically, it also includes a mounting plate 10, which is located below the rotating column 6 and is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder surface of the mounting cylinder 4. The fixed end of the speed sensor 8 is fixedly connected to the upper plate surface of the mounting plate 10.

[0047] In one embodiment, a support rod 9 is also included, with the bottom end of the mounting cylinder 4 detachably connected to the top end of the support rod 9. This detachable connection allows the support rod 9 to be installed and removed as needed, facilitating the carrying and transportation of the equipment.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the mounting cylinder 4 is threadedly connected to the top end of the support rod 9. Therefore, using a threaded connection to connect the bottom end of the mounting cylinder 4 to the top end of the support rod 9 offers advantages such as reliable connection and convenient assembly / disassembly.

[0049] In some embodiments, when two adjacent connecting rods 2 are in the working position, the first end face of one of them is spaced apart from the opposite face of the corresponding locking block 23. Thus, by spaced apart between the first end face of the connecting rod 2 and the opposite face of the locking block 23, interference between the first end face of the adjacent connecting rod 2 and the locking block 23 can be avoided during rotation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the axis of the connecting rod 2 passes through the center of the bowl end of the wind cup 3.

[0051] Specifically, it also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the speed sensor 8.

[0052] The specific principle and usage method of the foldable meteorological device provided in this embodiment are as follows:

[0053] Installation Preparation: Prepare the support rod 9 and other parts of the equipment according to actual usage needs. Connect the bottom end of the mounting cylinder 4 to the top end of the support rod 9 with a thread, ensuring a firm and reliable connection.

[0054] Equipment deployment: Loosen the straps binding the three connecting rods 2 in the retracted state, and rotate the connecting rods 2 along the axis of the rotating column 11 on the mounting block 1 to the working position. After aligning the screw through holes 24 and threaded holes 22 of adjacent connecting rods 2, tighten the screws to fix the connecting rods 2 in the working position.

[0055] Equipment fixing: Fix the bottom of the support rod 9 in a suitable position, such as the ground or a bracket, to ensure that the equipment is vertically stable.

[0056] Data Measurement and Reading: When the wind blows and causes the wind cup 3 to rotate, the speed sensor 8 will detect the rotation speed of the rotating column 6 in real time and transmit the speed signal to the controller. By processing and calculating the speed signal, the current wind speed data can be obtained.

[0057] Equipment Folding: After the measurement is completed, loosen the screws on the adjacent connecting rod 2, and rotate the end of the connecting rod 2 connected to the air cup 3 upwards, so that the three air cups 3 come together. Part of the edge of one of the two adjacent air cups 3 is tucked into the mouth of the other air cup 3, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, secure it with straps. Then, remove the support rod 9 from the bottom of the mounting cylinder 4 and store the entire device for easy carrying and transportation.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
