Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembled observatory technology, specifically an assembled observatory. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of astronomy, with the deepening of human exploration of the universe and the widespread development of astronomical science education, astronomical observation activities are becoming increasingly frequent. Whether it is professional astronomical research institutions conducting celestial research, schools and science museums popularizing astronomical knowledge, or astronomy enthusiasts observing the night sky, all are placing higher demands on observatories, an important observation facility. Traditional observatories mostly use fixed reinforced concrete structures. While these observatories have certain advantages in terms of stability and durability, they also present many problems during construction. First, the construction cycle of traditional fixed observatories is long. From the initial site exploration and design planning, to the mid-term foundation construction and main structure construction, and then to the later equipment installation and commissioning, the entire process is cumbersome and complex, often requiring months or even years to complete, making it difficult to quickly meet the growing demand for astronomical observation activities. Second, the construction cost is high. It not only requires a large amount of building materials and construction manpower, but also a professional design and construction team. For schools, science museums, and individual enthusiasts with limited funds, building a traditional observatory poses a significant economic burden.
[0003] With the popularization and diversification of astronomical observation activities, the demands for the flexibility and adaptability of observatories are increasing. Schools and science museums need observatories that can be quickly set up and easily moved to conduct temporary astronomical science popularization activities. Astronomy enthusiasts hope to have observation facilities that can be moved at any time according to observation needs to find better observation environments, and some scientific research projects also need to quickly establish temporary observation sites in different regions. However, existing observatory technology is difficult to meet these diverse needs. Traditional monolithic designs cannot achieve rapid assembly and disassembly, nor can they be structurally adjusted and functionally expanded according to actual needs. Therefore, there is a need to design a modular observatory. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example 1:
[0024] Addressing the problems of complex and inflexible construction and unstable modular structures in traditional observatories, this invention provides a preferred embodiment of a modular observatory, for example... Figures 1-4As shown: A modular observatory includes a horizontal support base 1, with two fixed ground bolts 2 fixed to the bottom of the horizontal support base 1, arranged symmetrically.

The inner wall of the L-shaped fixing blocks 413 has fixing holes, and fixing bolts 414 are provided inside the fixing holes through threaded connection, for a total of multiple groups, for fixing the transverse support base 1 and the vertical support base 3.
[0026] Supporting tenon holes 415 are provided between the slots 411, and the supporting tenon holes 415 are evenly spaced on the top of the transverse supporting base 1, with two holes forming a group.

[0029] Example 2:
[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the following is further obtained: Assembly Part 2 42 includes: Main Assembly Plate 1 421, which is fixedly installed on the top of Assembly Tenon Block 1 4111, and there are two sets of it; The outer wall of Main Assembly Plate 1 421 is provided with a lens opening 422, and a rainproof arc plate 423 is provided above the lens opening 422, and the rainproof arc plate 423 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of Main Assembly Plate 1 421; The outer wall of Main Assembly Plate 1 421 is provided with an installation hole, and an inlet / outlet switch door 424 is provided inside the installation hole through a hinge.
[0031] The outer walls of the two sides of the main assembly plate 421 are provided with embedded diagonal grooves 425. The main assembly plate 426 is provided inside the embedded diagonal grooves 425, and the bottom of the main assembly plate 426 is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly tenon block 4114.
[0032] The outer wall of the second main assembly plate 426 is provided with reinforcement holes 427 at equal intervals, and the reinforcement holes 427 extend into the interior of the diagonal groove 425. Reinforcing bolts are provided inside the reinforcement holes 427. The top of the first main assembly plate 421 and the second main assembly plate 426 are connected by a snap-fit assembly top plate 428.
[0033] The top of the assembled top plate 428 is provided with mounting holes at equal intervals, and a transparent observation window 429 is fixedly installed inside the mounting holes. The top of the assembled top plate 428 is provided with drainage troughs 4210, and the drainage troughs 4210 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the assembled top plate 428.
[0034] Furthermore, this embodiment provides a standardized interface for the installation of observation equipment by setting up a main assembly plate 421 and a lens opening 422, which facilitates the installation of observation lenses of different specifications to meet diverse astronomical observation needs. With the help of the rain-proof arc plate 423, rainwater is directed to both sides. Then, the main assembly plate 421 and the main assembly plate 426 are connected by embedded diagonal grooves 425 and reinforcing bolts, which enhances the structural strength and realizes modular expansion. According to actual needs, the number of main assembly plates can be flexibly increased or decreased to adjust the size of the observatory space. With the help of the transparent observation window 429, a wide field of view is provided. The drainage chute 4210 can quickly drain rainwater, avoid water accumulation causing pressure and leakage risk to the roof, ensure a dry internal environment of the observatory, and create good conditions for astronomical observation.
[0035] In use, firstly, the horizontal support base 1 is fixed to the selected ground position using the fixing bolts 2. The two sets of symmetrically distributed fixing bolts 2 can ensure that the horizontal support base 1 is firmly rooted in the ground, providing a solid foundation for the entire observatory.
[0036] Furthermore, after the horizontal support base 1 is fixed, the vertical support base 3 is installed at both ends of the horizontal support base 1. At this time, the first slot 411 on the inner wall of the horizontal support base 1 and the second slot 412 on the inner wall of the vertical support base 3 form a diagonal shape. The L-shaped fixing block 413 is inserted into the first slot 411 and the second slot 412. Multiple sets of fixing bolts 414 are threaded through the fixing holes on the inner wall of the L-shaped fixing block 413 to firmly fix the horizontal support base 1 and the vertical support base 3 together, thus constructing the basic framework structure of the observatory.
[0037] Next, the support partition plate 416 is installed between the evenly spaced support tenon holes 415 at the top of the transverse support base 1 using a mortise and tenon joint. Fixing bolts 417 are installed in the reinforcement holes at the top of the support partition plate 416 to further enhance its stability. Subsequently, a moisture-proof base plate 418 is placed on top of the support partition plate 416. The moisture-proof base plate 418 effectively isolates ground moisture, protecting the observatory's internal equipment.
[0038] Furthermore, after completing the basic framework, the assembly of the superstructure begins. The horizontal tenon 419 at the top of the horizontal support base 1 has a mortise hole 4110, and the vertical tenon 4112 at the top of the vertical support base 3 has a mortise hole 4113. The first assembly tenon block 4111 is inserted into the first mortise hole 4110, and the second assembly tenon block 4114 is inserted into the second mortise hole 4113. Based on this, the main assembly plate 421 is fixedly installed on top of the first assembly tenon block 4111. The lens opening 422 on the outer wall of the main assembly plate 421 is used to install the observation lens, and the rain-proof arc plate 423 effectively blocks rainwater, protecting the lens and operators. The hinged access door 424 facilitates personnel access to the observatory interior.
[0039] Furthermore, the diagonal grooves 425 on both sides of the main assembly plate 421 are used to install the second main assembly plate 426. The bottom of the second main assembly plate 426 is fixedly connected to the top of the assembly tenon block 4114. By installing reinforcing bolts in the reinforcing holes 427 on the outer wall of the second main assembly plate 426, the first main assembly plate 421 and the second main assembly plate 426 are tightly connected, enhancing the overall structural strength. Finally, the top assembly plate 428 is snapped onto the top of the first main assembly plate 421 and the second main assembly plate 426. The transparent observation window 429 on the top assembly plate 428 facilitates all-round observation of the sky, while the drainage sloping channels 4210 on both sides can drain rainwater in time, preventing water accumulation from damaging the observatory.
[0040] The entire assembly process requires no complicated tools; the observatory can be quickly and easily assembled using mortise and tenon joints and bolts. When the observatory needs to be disassembled or moved, simply reverse the process, removing each component in sequence for easy transport and reassembly.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
