[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides an outdoor radar housing 100, including a support base 110 and a protective housing 120 disposed on the support base 110. A radar 130 is placed inside the protective housing 120, and the protective housing 120 has a transparent detection part for the detection signal emitted by the radar 130 to pass through.

[0024] Specifically, the outdoor radar housing 100 includes a support base 110 and a protective housing 120 mounted on the support base 110. The support base 110, as the basic load-bearing component of the entire device, can be made of metal (such as steel, aluminum alloy, etc.) or high-strength composite materials. Its bottom can be fixed to the ground or other mounting foundation using anchor bolts or other connecting components to ensure the stability of the entire outdoor radar housing 100 in complex outdoor environments (such as strong winds, vibrations, etc.). The height of the support base 110 can be designed according to actual needs to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the radar 130 and adapt to different detection angle requirements. The protective housing 120 is a structure with a certain degree of enclosed space, and its interior is used to house the main body of the radar 130. A transparent detection section is provided on the protective housing 120. This transparent detection section is the necessary channel for the detection signals emitted by the radar 130 and the echo signals received, therefore it needs to have good light transmission performance (i.e., good penetration for the radar 130 wave) and mechanical strength. The transparent detection unit can be made of high-strength tempered glass, ultra-clear glass, or polycarbonate sheet, etc. These materials not only have high light transmittance, but also good impact resistance, weather resistance, and UV resistance, enabling them to maintain stable performance in outdoor environments for extended periods. The transparent detection unit can be fixed to the corresponding opening of the protective chamber 120 using sealant or special connectors to ensure the airtightness of the protective chamber 120 and prevent rainwater, dust, etc., from entering the chamber and affecting the operation of the radar 130.

[0025] The outdoor radar housing 100 provided in this application includes a support base 110 and a protective housing 120 disposed on the support base 110. A radar 130 is placed inside the protective housing 120. The protective housing 120 has a transparent detection section that allows the detection signal emitted by the radar 130 to pass through. By placing the radar inside the protective housing 120, it is possible to effectively block sunlight, rain, and dust from adhering to the radar 130, reducing the impact of environmental factors on the radar 130 and thus ensuring the detection accuracy of the radar 130. At the same time, the transparent detection section of the protective housing 120 allows the detection signal emitted by the radar to pass through without affecting the normal operation of the radar.

[0026] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective compartment 120 is also equipped with a wiper device 140, which is used to clean the outside of the transparent detection part.

[0027] Specifically, the wiper device 140 can be activated promptly according to actual needs (such as timed cleaning, automatic cleaning upon sensing pollution, or remotely controlled cleaning) to effectively remove dust, rainwater, stains, and other debris from the surface of the transparent detection unit. This avoids problems such as radar 130 signal attenuation and scattering caused by untimely or incomplete cleaning, ensuring that the radar 130 detection signal can stably and efficiently penetrate the transparent detection unit. This guarantees the detection accuracy and long-term operational stability of the radar 130, meeting the requirements of the radar 130 for a continuously reliable working environment. By installing the wiper device 140 in the transparent detection unit of the protective compartment 120, the outer side of the transparent detection unit can be automatically cleaned without the need for manual operation in harsh outdoor environments. This completely solves the problems of operational difficulties and low efficiency associated with traditional manual cleaning methods, significantly reducing manpower input and maintenance costs. It is especially suitable for remote and harsh outdoor radar 130 sites.

[0028] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective chamber 120 includes a transparent cylinder 121 with openings at both ends, and a bottom plate 122 and a top plate 123 that respectively cover the openings at both ends of the transparent cylinder 121. The radar 130 is mounted on the bottom plate 122, and the transparent cylinder 121 is a transparent detection unit.

[0029] Specifically, the transparent cylinder 121 has a cylindrical structure, made of high-strength tempered glass through an arc-shaped process, with uniform wall thickness to ensure minimal attenuation of the radar 130's detection signal during penetration. The bottom plate 122 and top plate 123 are both metal discs (such as stainless steel), with diameters matching the outer diameter of the transparent cylinder 121. The bottom plate 122 is fixedly connected to the lower opening of the transparent cylinder 121 by bolts, with a weather-resistant sealing ring at the connection to prevent rainwater and dust from seeping in through gaps. The top plate 123 is also connected to the upper opening of the transparent cylinder 121 by bolts, with the connection structure identical to the bottom plate 122, forming a closed protective space. The radar 130 body is mounted at the center of the bottom plate 122 via a fixed bracket, with its detection direction facing the cylinder wall of the transparent cylinder 121, ensuring that the detection signal can directly penetrate the transparent cylinder 121 for transmission and reception. The cylindrical transparent tube 121 serves as a transparent detection unit, enabling 360° omnidirectional detection or large-angle fan-shaped detection. Compared to the partially transparent protective chamber 120 structure, it is more suitable for the working requirements of various omnidirectional radars 130.

[0030] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top plate 123 is circular, and the wiper device 140 includes a rotary drive 141 and a wiper 142 disposed on the rotary drive 141. The rotary drive 141 is disposed at the center of the top plate 123, and the wiper 142 is in contact with the outer wall of the transparent cylinder 121 and extends from the top plate 123 to the bottom plate 122. The rotary drive 141 is used to drive the wiper 142 to move along the outer wall surface of the transparent cylinder 121.

[0031] Specifically, the top plate 123 is made of a circular metal plate (such as aluminum alloy) and is coaxially mounted with the upper opening of the transparent cylinder 121. The rotary drive component 141 is a waterproof servo motor, whose output shaft passes vertically through the center of the top plate 123 and is sealed to the top plate 123 (preventing rainwater from seeping into the protective chamber 120 through a sealing ring). The wiper 142 includes a wiper blade and a connecting rod: the wiper blade is made of aging-resistant silicone material, with an arc-shaped cross-section to fit the curved surface of the outer wall of the transparent cylinder 121; the connecting rod is a lightweight metal rod, one end of which is fixed to the output shaft of the rotary drive component 141, and the other end is connected to the wiper blade, the length of which is consistent with the axial height of the transparent cylinder 121.

[0032] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective chamber 120 is also equipped with a temperature monitoring module and a heating module 150. The remote control module controls the opening and closing of the heating module 150 based on the monitoring information transmitted by the temperature monitoring module.

[0033] Specifically, the temperature sensor collects the temperature signal inside the chamber in real time, converts it into a digital signal through a converter, and then transmits it to the local controller. The controller uploads the temperature data to the remote control module via the signal transmission module. When the remote module determines that the temperature is lower than the working threshold of the radar 130, it sends a heating command to the local controller, which then controls the heating module 150 to turn on. When the temperature rises to the preset value, the remote module sends a stop command, and the heating module 150 turns off.

[0034] Furthermore, the heating module 150 is a heating plate or a hot air blower installed inside the protective chamber 120.

[0035] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rainwater monitoring module is also installed on the outside of the protective compartment 120. The rainwater monitoring module transmits the monitoring data to the remote control module, which controls the opening and closing of the wiper device 140 based on the monitoring data.

[0036] Specifically, the rain monitoring module uses a contact raindrop sensor. When the raindrop sensor detects rain, it transmits the signal to the local controller. The controller sends the rain monitoring data to the remote control module. The remote module sends a control command according to preset logic (such as activating the wiper device 140 in moderate rain or above), and sends a start signal to the rotation drive component 141 of the wiper device 140 via the local controller.

[0037] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support base 110 is provided with a connecting circuit that connects the radar 130 and the wiper device 140, and the connecting circuit extends through the support base 110 to the protective compartment 120.

[0038] Specifically, the support column 111 of the support base 110 is a hollow metal tube with a reserved wiring channel inside to ensure a stable connection of the internal circuit of the silo.

[0039] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an opening is provided on one side of the transparent cylinder 121, and a door 124 is rotatably connected to the transparent cylinder 121. The opening can be opened or closed by rotating the door 124.

[0040] Specifically, a rectangular opening is provided on one side of the transparent cylinder 121 for the installation and maintenance of the radar 130. The door 124 is made of the same material as the transparent cylinder 121 (tempered glass) and is rotatably connected to the edge of the opening of the transparent cylinder 121 via a stainless steel hinge. A silicone sealing strip is installed on the edge of the door 124, which locks to the transparent cylinder 121 with a snap-fit ​​when closed, ensuring waterproof and dustproof protection. A magnetic proximity switch is installed on the inside of the door 124.

[0041] In one possible embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support base 110 includes a support column 111, a support plate 112 disposed at the bottom of the support column 111, and a reinforcing plate 113 disposed around the support column 111. The two adjacent sides of the reinforcing plate 113 are respectively connected to the support column 111 and the support plate 112.

[0042] Specifically, the support column 111 is a cylindrical metal column, vertically welded to the center of the support plate 112 at its bottom. The reinforcing plates 113 are right-angled triangular steel plates, four of which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the support column 111. One right-angled side of each plate is welded to the outer wall of the support column 111, and the other right-angled side is welded to the upper surface of the support plate 112, forming a stable triangular structure. The support plate 112 is fixed to the ground by four anchor bolts to ensure stable support for the outdoor radar compartment 100 of this application.

[0043] Furthermore, a reinforcing member 114 is provided between the support column 111 and the protective compartment 120, with the two sides of the reinforcing member 114 connected to the side wall of the support column 111 and the protective compartment 120 respectively, to ensure the stable support of the radar 130 compartment.

[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
