Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of meteorological monitoring technology, specifically relating to a rain and snow protective cover and its wind sensor. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of meteorological monitoring technology, accurate measurement of wind speed and direction is of paramount importance for weather forecasting, climate research, and various industries such as aerospace and wind power generation. With technological advancements, wind sensors, as core components of meteorological monitoring equipment, directly impact the accuracy and continuity of monitoring data through their performance and reliability. In recent years, with the integration and application of IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, the intelligence and networking capabilities of wind sensors have continuously improved. However, their adaptability and stability under extreme weather conditions remain significant factors limiting their application scope.

[0003] Specifically, traditional wind sensors face severe challenges in adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow. Rain and snow can not only directly cover the sensor surface, affecting its measurement accuracy, but more seriously, snow accumulation or icing in low-temperature environments can directly cause sensor failure, rendering it unable to function properly. While some protective measures have been applied to wind sensors, such as using physical shielding or heating elements to attempt to solve the snow and ice problem, these solutions often have significant shortcomings. On the one hand, while physical shielding can block rain and snow to some extent, it cannot effectively address icing and may affect the sensor's measurement range and accuracy. On the other hand, while the introduction of heating elements can alleviate icing to some extent, its heating efficiency is low, energy consumption is high, and it is difficult to achieve a uniform temperature distribution on the protective cover surface, leading to localized overheating or underheating. Therefore, it cannot fundamentally solve the impact of snow and ice on sensor performance, and improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, a sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the fixed bracket 1. A protective box 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve 10. The sleeve 10 is connected to the top of the fixed bracket 1, and the protective box 11 is fixed to the top of the sleeve 10 to protect the internal components. A servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box 11. A drive rod 13 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 12. A threaded rod 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the drive rod 13. A threaded sleeve 15 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 14, and the surface of the threaded sleeve 15 is inserted into the inner wall of the sleeve 10. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 15 is inserted through the inner wall of the fixed bracket 1. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 2. A limit rod 16 is inserted at the top of the threaded sleeve 15, and the top end of the limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the sleeve 10. The servo motor 12 is installed inside the protective box 11, and its output end drives the threaded sleeve 14 through the drive rod 13. The threaded rod 14 rotates; the threaded sleeve rod 15 is threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 14 and moves up and down along the inner wall of the sleeve tube 10 under the constraint of the limiting rod 16, thereby driving the connecting frame 2 and the arc-shaped protective cover 3 to rise and fall to adapt to different environmental requirements. Connecting rods 17 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the surface of the sleeve tube 10. A photovoltaic panel 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 17, and the photovoltaic panel 18 is electrically connected to the battery 5. Mounting plates 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the fixed bracket 1. Fixing bolts 20 are threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 19. The connecting rods 17 are fixed around the sleeve tube 10 to support the photovoltaic panel 18, converting solar energy into electrical energy and storing it in the battery 5 to achieve self-powered operation. The mounting plate 19 and fixing bolts 20 are used for the stable installation of the overall structure, so that the protective cover has the characteristics of height adjustment, energy self-sufficiency and stable fixation, further improving the environmental adaptability and reliability of the wind sensor.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in wind farms in high-altitude and cold regions, winters are characterized by year-round snow cover and temperatures as low as -30°C. Traditional wind sensors are prone to data distortion or even failure due to snow cover or icing. To ensure the continuity and accuracy of wind speed monitoring, protective devices with active rain and snow protection, heating and de-icing functions, and height adjustment are required. This rain and snow protective cover and its wind sensor, with their arc-shaped protective cover structure, built-in heating system, and height-adjustable design, are perfectly adapted to such extreme environments.

[0037] First, the entire structure is securely installed on top of the wind farm's monitoring tower using the mounting plates 19 and fixing bolts 20 on both sides of the fixed bracket 1. During installation, ensure the fixed bracket 1 is level to avoid tilting and affecting the lifting and lowering function of the protective cover.

[0038] Start the servo motor 12 inside the protective box 11, drive the rod 13 to rotate the threaded rod 14, and cause the threaded sleeve rod 15 to descend along the inner wall of the sleeve tube 10 under the constraint of the limit rod 16 until the connecting frame 2 and the arc-shaped protective cover 3 completely cover the sensor body 21 below, forming a snowproof space.

[0039] The photovoltaic panel 18, supported by the connecting rod 17, converts solar energy into electrical energy during the day and stores it in the battery 5. When the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature is below 0°C or there is snow accumulation, the battery 5 supplies power to the heater 6. The heating rod 7 generates heat, which is transferred to the heat dissipation plate 8 through the heat conduction rod 9, maintaining the surface temperature of the arc-shaped protective cover 3 at around 5°C to prevent snow from adhering or freezing. The insulation partition 4 reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.

[0040] During blizzards, the heating system operates continuously to ensure the protective cover remains free of ice. Once the wind speed stabilizes, the protective cover returns to its original position, balancing the protective effect with the accuracy of the sensor measurements.

[0041] Regularly check the cleanliness of the photovoltaic panels 18 and the charge level of the battery 5 to ensure energy supply; clean any ice buildup that may accumulate on the edges of the protective cover. The system records heating power consumption and heating / cooling frequency in real time, and optimizes control strategies to extend equipment life.

[0042] Working principle: The fixed bracket 1 provides a stable installation foundation for the entire system. Its top is connected to the protective box 11 through the sleeve 10. The internal servo motor 12 drives the threaded rod 14 to rotate through the drive rod 13, so that the threaded sleeve 15 can be precisely raised and lowered under the constraint of the limit rod 16, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting frame 2 and the arc-shaped protective cover 3 to adapt to different snow loads. The heat insulation plate 4 set in the connecting frame 2 forms a heat insulation layer. The battery 5 installed on its top stores the solar energy converted by the photovoltaic panel 18 to provide power for the heater 6. The heater 6 generates heat through the heating rod 7, and the heat is conducted to the arc-shaped protective cover through the heat conduction rod 9. The heat dissipation plate 8 on the inner wall of the protective cover ensures a uniform increase in surface temperature, effectively preventing rain and snow accumulation and icing. Meanwhile, the sensor body 21, mounted on the top of the fixed bracket 1, is located below the arc-shaped protective cover 3. It is protected by the physical shielding of the protective cover and benefits from the suitable temperature environment maintained by the heating system, ensuring accurate wind speed data collection even in rainy and snowy weather. The entire system is firmly fixed by the mounting plate 19 and fixing bolts 20. The components work together to achieve multiple functions such as adjustable protective cover height, self-sufficiency in energy, active anti-icing, and stable monitoring, significantly improving the reliability and data accuracy of the wind sensor under severe weather conditions.
