[0003] The observation field is the main location for obtaining meteorological data through ground meteorological observation. It houses various instruments used for observing meteorological elements. It is generally a flat, open space of 25 meters by 25 meters. It should be located in a place that can better reflect the characteristics of meteorological elements over a large area of the locality, and avoid the presence of tall buildings or other obstructions and sources of air pollution in the surrounding area.
[0004] Existing visual impairment instruments are usually set up in observation fields. During installation, workers may use ladders to install the instruments at higher elevations. Since the ground in observation fields is mostly natural, ladders may tip over when used on soil surfaces, posing a safety hazard and affecting the installation process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This utility model discloses a visibility obstruction phenomenon instrument suitable for installation at ground meteorological observation sites. It aims to solve the technical problem that when workers use ladders to install the visibility obstruction phenomenon instrument at high altitudes, the ladders may tip over because the ground at the observation site is mostly natural ground.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0037] The present invention discloses a visibility obstruction instrument suitable for installation at ground meteorological observation sites. It is mainly used when workers use ladders to install the visibility obstruction instrument at high positions. Since the ground of the observation site is mostly natural ground, the ladder may tip over when it is installed on the soil surface.
[0038] Reference Figures 1-4 A visibility obstruction phenomenon instrument suitable for installation at ground meteorological observation sites, comprising:
[0039] Upright pole 1, with four screw components 11 installed on upright pole 1;
[0040] Two fixed supports 6 are installed on the upright 1, and the same control box 2 is installed on the two fixed supports 6;
[0041] Connecting rod 4 is located above the upright rod 1, and a fisheye high-definition camera 5 is installed on the top of the connecting rod 4;
[0042] Two mounting rods 10 are mounted on the connecting rod 4, and a long-focus high-definition camera 8 and a short-focus high-definition camera 9 are respectively mounted on the two mounting rods 10.
[0043] The installation adjustment unit 3 is installed on the upright 1 and the connecting rod 4. The installation adjustment unit 3 includes a rotating sleeve roller 307 and a fixing screw 305. The fixing screw 305 is located inside the rotating sleeve roller 307.
[0044] Screw protection module 7 is installed on the upright 1 and includes four protective airbags 707.
[0045] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the installation adjustment unit 3 further includes:
[0046] Shaft screw 302 is mounted on the upright 1, and connecting rod 4 is mounted on the shaft screw 302;
[0047] Connecting nut 301 is mounted on shaft screw 302.
[0048] In this utility model, the installation adjustment unit 3 also includes:
[0049] Two mounting frames 303 are respectively installed on the upright 1 and the connecting rod 4, and each of the two mounting frames 303 is provided with a shaft member 304.
[0050] Two mounting parts 309 are respectively mounted on two shaft members 304, and a fixing screw 305 is mounted on one of the mounting parts 309.
[0051] In this utility model, the installation adjustment unit 3 also includes:
[0052] The connecting rod connector 308 is mounted on another mounting component 309, and the rotating sleeve roller 307 is mounted on the connecting rod connector 308.
[0053] The elastic outer sleeve 306 is disposed on the rotating sleeve roller 307 and the fixed screw 305, and the elastic outer sleeve 306 is rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve roller 307.
[0054] It should be noted that during installation, the angle between the upright 1 and the connecting rod 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the overall length of the rotating sleeve and the fixing screw 305. This allows the upright 1 and the connecting rod 4 to be set at a 90-degree angle, so that the installation point of the connecting rod 4 can be lowered. This makes it easier for installers to install the visual obstacle perception device, which is located at a high position, thus increasing the ease of installation. It also eliminates the need to use a ladder for installation, preventing tipping during installation and increasing the safety of the device.
[0055] During use, the fixing screw 305 is provided with an elastic sleeve 306 to prevent rainwater from contacting the fixing screw 305 and increase its service life.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the screw protection module 7 further includes:
[0057] Mounting plate frame 705 is mounted on upright 1 and an annular tube 703 is mounted on mounting plate frame 705;
[0058] An inflatable component 704 is mounted on an annular tube 703, and four round holes are provided on the mounting plate frame 705.
[0059] In this utility model, the screw protection module 7 also includes:
[0060] Four telescopic springs 706 are mounted on the mounting plate 705. The bottom of each of the four telescopic springs 706 is provided with an outer frame 701. Four protective airbags 707 are respectively located inside the four outer frames 701.
[0061] In this utility model, the screw protection module 7 also includes:
[0062] Four connecting pipes 702 are provided on the annular pipe 703. The output ends of the four connecting pipes 702 are respectively connected to the interior of the four protective airbags 707. The four connecting pipes 702 pass through the four round holes respectively.
[0063] It should be noted that the screw protection module 7 can cover and protect the exposed part of the screw component 11 when in use, so as to reduce the corrosion of the screw component 11 caused by rainwater during long-term use, thereby increasing the stability and service life of the device during long-term use.
[0064] In use, the protective airbag 707 is wrapped around the outside of the screw component 11. Therefore, when the device vibrates due to external factors, the protective airbag 707 can reduce the vibration at the screw component 11 and further improve the installation stability of the device.
[0065] Working principle:
[0066] During installation, the rotating sleeve roller 307 is rotated, causing the fixing screw 305 to gradually retract into the rotating sleeve roller 307, thereby changing the overall length of the rotating sleeve roller 307 and the fixing screw 305. This causes the connecting rod 4 to rotate on the shaft screw 302, changing the angle between the connecting rod 4 and the upright 1 until the upright 1 and the connecting rod 4 form a 90-degree angle. Then, the installer installs the high-level equipment of the visibility obstacle detection device onto the connecting rod 4. At this time, the rotating sleeve roller 307 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the fixing screw 305 to be removed from the rotating sleeve roller 307 and reset, until the connecting rod 4 and the upright 1 are in a vertical state, completing the installation.
[0067] When the screw is protected, the telescopic spring 706 drives the outer frame 701 and the protective airbag 707 to descend, so that the protective airbag 707 is placed outside the screw member 11. At this time, the inflation member 704 inflates the annular tube 703, and further delivers the gas to the protective airbag 707 through the connecting tube 702, so that the protective airbag 707 expands until the protective airbag 707 is wrapped around the outside of the screw member 11.
[0068] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
