[0002] Telemetry terminals, as devices capable of remote data acquisition, transmission, and storage, play a crucial role in numerous fields of modern society. In the meteorological field, telemetry terminals are closely connected to various meteorological sensors, such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind speed sensors, and air pressure sensors, enabling real-time and accurate collection of meteorological elements such as atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and air pressure. This data has a vital impact on the accuracy of weather forecasts, helping meteorological departments to predict severe weather in advance, such as heavy rain, typhoons, and cold waves, providing timely and effective meteorological warnings for people's production and daily life, so that preventive measures can be taken in advance to protect life and property.

[0003] Telemetry terminals require significant power to ensure stable signal transmission when performing data acquisition, transmission, and processing functions. This process results in high energy consumption. While existing technologies can utilize photovoltaic panels to generate electricity and reduce energy consumption, these panels, as independent power generation units, require considerable installation space. This presents installation difficulties, especially in remote mountainous areas, and also increases operational complexity during subsequent maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0013] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0014] This utility model provides a low-power telemetry terminal with integrated photovoltaic panels, including a telemetry terminal body 1. A photovoltaic panel assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the telemetry terminal body 1. The telemetry terminal body 1 integrates a solar charging controller and a rechargeable battery pack. The photovoltaic panel assembly 2 is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery pack through the solar charging controller. Both ends of the telemetry terminal body 1 are provided with protruding posts 3. A U-shaped frame 4 is rotatably sleeved on the side wall of the two protruding posts 3. The U-shaped frame 4 is used to install and fix the telemetry terminal body 1 in the installation position. A motor 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped frame 4. The output end of the motor 5 is connected to one of the protruding posts 3 through a transmission mechanism 7. The motor 5 and the transmission mechanism 7 are connected through a torque limiter 6. The torque limiter 6 is used to protect the motor 5 from overload. An angle limiter 8 is provided on the other side of the U-shaped frame 4. The angle limiter 8 is connected to another protruding post 3. The angle limiter 8 is used to limit the rotation angle of the other protruding post 3.

[0015] By integrating a photovoltaic panel assembly 2, a solar charging controller, and a rechargeable battery pack into the telemetry terminal body 1, the telemetry terminal body 1 can generate solar power, thereby reducing energy consumption and achieving low power consumption. In addition, the rotational power output by the motor 5 drives the convex column 3 to rotate under the transmission mechanism 7, causing the telemetry terminal body 1 to flip. This adjusts the solar panel's solar angle and enhances the utilization efficiency of the solar panel. The angle limiter 8 ensures that the telemetry terminal body 1 can only flip within a certain fixed range, preventing the motor 5 from outputting too large a rotation angle and causing the telemetry terminal body 1 to flip and collide with other equipment. When the telemetry terminal body 1 is restricted, the torque limiter 6 can idle to achieve overload protection for the motor 5.

[0016] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 7 is equipped with a worm gear transmission assembly.

[0017] This setting allows for angle locking after the telemetry terminal body 1 is flipped, preventing the telemetry terminal body 1 from flipping due to gravity.

[0018] Furthermore, the angle limiter 8 includes a fixing ring 81 and an arc plate 82. The fixing ring 81 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protruding column 3, and the arc plate 82 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the U-shaped plate frame 4. Both ends of the arc plate 82 are provided with side blocks 84, and the side wall of the fixing ring 81 is provided with protrusions 83. The two side blocks 84 are used to form a barrier for the protrusions 83.

[0019] When the telemetry terminal body 1 is flipped, the protrusion 83 rotates accordingly, which causes the fixed ring 81 to rotate. When the fixed ring 81 rotates, the protrusion 83 surrounds the center point of the fixed ring 81. Through the blocking effect of the two side blocks 84 on the protrusion 83, the surrounding angle of the protrusion 83 can be limited, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the protrusion 3.

[0020] Furthermore, the torque limiter 6 includes a bottom column 61 and a top column 62. A knob 63 is provided at the top of the bottom column 61, and the top column 62 is rotatably sleeved on the side wall of the knob 63. An annular groove is provided on the side wall of the bottom column 61, and a movable disc 65 is slidably sleeved in the annular groove. A fixed disc 64 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the top column 62. Both the fixed disc 64 and the movable disc 65 have annular sand discs on their inner surfaces. A vertical positioning strip is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove of the bottom column 61, and a sliding groove adapted to the vertical positioning strip is provided on the inner wall of the movable disc 65. A thread is provided on the side wall of the bottom column 61, and a tray 66 is threadedly sleeved at the thread. The tray 66 is connected to the movable disc 65 through a spring 67. The bottom end of the bottom column 61 is connected to the output end of the motor 5, and the top end of the top column 62 is connected to the output end of the transmission mechanism 7.

[0021] When in use, the motor 5 outputs rotational power, driving the base column 61 to rotate. The base column 61 drives the moving plate 65 to rotate. The elasticity of the spring 67 allows the moving plate 65 to slide upward and fit tightly against the fixed plate 64. Under the action of friction, the moving plate 65 drives the fixed plate 64 to rotate. The fixed plate 64 drives the top column 62 to rotate, causing it to output torque to the transmission mechanism 7. When the rotation of the convex column 3 is restricted, the top column 62 cannot rotate. The torque transmission between the base column 61 and the top column 62 is restricted by the friction between the fixed plate 64 and the moving plate 65. When the torque is too large, the base column 61 can idle to prevent the motor 5 from being overloaded. By rotating the torque limiter 6 to make it move up and down, the magnitude of the friction between the moving plate 65 and the fixed plate 64 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the upper limit of torque transmission.

[0022] Furthermore, the tray 66 includes a nut 661, which is threaded onto the threaded part of the bottom post 61. A side sleeve 662 is rotatably sleeved on the side wall of the nut 661. A top plate 663 is fixedly connected to the top of the side sleeve 662. The top of the top plate 663 is connected to the bottom end of the spring 67. A vertical groove is provided at the threaded part of the side wall of the bottom post 61. A slider 664 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side sleeve 662. The slider 664 slides within the vertical groove.

[0023] Rotating the nut 661 causes the tray 66 to move up and down as a whole. The structure of the tray 66 prevents the torque during rotation from being transmitted to the spring 67, thereby preventing damage to the spring 67.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
