Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of precipitation monitoring equipment, and in particular relates to a self-melting tipping bucket precipitation monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] Whether it's meteorological departments studying long-term precipitation patterns, hydrological stations tracking changes in watershed volume, agricultural production adjusting irrigation strategies based on precipitation, or urban management departments issuing warnings about the risk of urban flooding caused by rainfall, all rely on real-time and accurate data provided by reliable precipitation monitoring equipment. With the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the need for precise monitoring of solid precipitation in winter in frigid regions is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] A Chinese patent application with publication number CN221595309U discloses a tipping bucket rain gauge sensor for automatic observation of all-season precipitation. The sensor includes a concrete base with a chassis at its top. A collection cylinder is mounted on the chassis, and the side of the chassis is connected to the concrete base via adjusting hexagonal screws. This invention utilizes an electric heating tape on the collection cylinder. The heating tape heats up when energized, providing the necessary constant temperature inside the collection cylinder. This enables the device to automatically observe precipitation throughout the year and effectively adapt to the observation of solid precipitation in extreme winter conditions. Compared to gravimetric rain gauges, it effectively reduces errors in automatic precipitation observation caused by soil, sand, dust, insects, etc. Furthermore, compared to gravimetric rain gauges, the tipping bucket rain gauge sensor for automatic observation of all-season precipitation is ingeniously designed, low-cost, and easy to use and maintain.

[0004] The aforementioned device uses an electric heating cable to heat the collection cylinder. The electric heating cable is usually linearly distributed, and the heating area is relatively limited. This may result in incomplete melting of ice and snow in some areas, leaving the inner wall of the collection cylinder or the subsequent tipping bucket assembly at risk of freezing. This affects the smooth collection and measurement of precipitation. At the same time, the device is fixed and leveled by using cement blocks and adjusting hexagonal screws. The cement blocks increase the complexity of the device installation and limit the site, making it difficult to quickly adjust the main body of the device to a level position. Tipping bucket precipitation monitoring equipment has extremely high requirements for levelness. If the device is tilted, it will cause the judgment of the weight of the water in the bucket cavity to be inaccurate, directly affecting the accuracy of precipitation measurement.

[0005] To address these issues, we provide a self-melting tipping bucket precipitation monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-melting tipping bucket precipitation monitoring device. Through the cooperation of the adjustment mechanism and the heating and filtering components, it solves the problem that existing monitoring devices are prone to incomplete melting of local ice and snow, making it difficult to quickly adjust the main body of the device to a horizontal state.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0008] This utility model relates to a self-melting, tipping-type precipitation monitoring device, comprising a base, a column fixedly connected to the top of the base, an adjustment mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the column, and a device body fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment mechanism. A heating and filtering assembly is installed on the top of the device body, comprising an annular groove located on the top of the device body. A heating coil is installed within the cavity of the annular groove, and a sealing heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the annular groove and above the heating coil. A filter screen is installed on the top of the inner cavity of the device body. Positioning mechanisms are installed on the bottom of both sides of the device body. The heating coil forms a ring-shaped heating circuit. This ring-shaped heating method ensures that the heat generated by the heating coil evenly covers the precipitation inlet area on the top of the device body. When rain or snow falls on the top of the device body, the heat released by the energized heating coil can quickly act on the rain or snow, preventing it from being trapped in the rain or snow. The top of the equipment body is covered with frozen material. Rubber insulation material is used to isolate the heating coil from the equipment body to prevent leakage and ensure safe operation. A sealed heat-conducting plate covers the opening of the annular groove, providing a sealed protection for the heating coil inside the groove. This prevents rainwater, dust, and other impurities from entering the groove and damaging the coil or affecting the heating effect. Sealant is used between the sealed heat-conducting plate and the annular groove to further improve sealing performance and prevent water seepage. The high thermal conductivity of the sealed heat-conducting plate allows it to quickly transfer heat generated by the heating coil to its surface. When rain or snow falls on the sealed heat-conducting plate, heat is rapidly transferred to the snow and rainwater, accelerating melting. The smooth surface of the sealed heat-conducting plate reduces the amount of rainwater remaining on its surface, allowing rainwater to quickly flow into the equipment body and preventing rainwater residue from affecting subsequent precipitation measurement.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the adjustment mechanism includes a connecting plate, the connecting plate is disposed above the column, a threaded column is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the top of the threaded column, a connecting seat is movably connected to the top of the threaded sleeve, and a level is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the connecting seat. The movable connection between the connecting seat and the threaded sleeve provides a certain rotation space for the horizontal adjustment of the main body of the equipment. With the level on the top of the connecting seat, the horizontal status of the main body of the equipment can be displayed in real time and intuitively. According to the indication of the level, the operator can adjust the rotation angle of the threaded sleeve or the posture of the connecting seat to quickly calibrate the main body of the equipment to a horizontal position.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning mechanism includes mounting holes, which are opened on both sides of the connecting seat. A movable rod is provided in the inner cavity of the mounting hole. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod. A spring is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod. A locking pin is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the connecting block. Locking holes for cooperating with the locking pin are opened on the bottom of both sides of the equipment body. The elastic force of the spring can always push the connecting block and the locking pin to move towards the equipment body, so that the locking pin naturally locks into the locking holes on both sides of the equipment body, forming an automatic locking effect, and realizing the rapid positioning and fixing of the equipment body and the connecting seat.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a fixed seat is fixedly connected to the top of the column, and the top of the fixed seat is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. The fixed seat can increase the force-bearing area at the top of the column, and transmit the weight of the adjustment mechanism and the main body of the equipment to the column more evenly, so as to avoid deformation of the top of the column or the connection part of the connecting plate due to the concentration of force.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the top of the base, one side of the reinforcing block is fixedly connected to the column, and a positioning hole is provided on the top of the base. The reinforcing block can greatly enhance the connection rigidity between the column and the base, effectively resist the lateral force generated by the weight of the equipment above or the external wind force, and prevent the column from tilting.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that one side of the movable rod penetrates the inner cavity of the mounting hole and extends to the outside of the mounting hole, and a push rod is fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod. The push rod increases the contact area between the hand and the component, and the worker can push the push rod to drive the movable rod to slide in the mounting hole.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that positioning posts are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the main body of the device. The top of the positioning post extends through to the outside of the filter screen, and the positioning post extends through to the outside of the filter screen to position the filter screen. When installing the filter screen, the operator only needs to align the corresponding hole of the filter screen with the positioning post and insert it to quickly determine the installation position of the filter screen.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. This utility model achieves uniform annular heating of the precipitation collection area on the top of the equipment body by opening an annular groove on the top of the equipment body and setting a heating coil in the groove, together with the sealing heat conduction plate on the top. The heating coverage is wider and the heat transfer is more efficient, which can quickly melt ice and snow into water and effectively avoid the equipment jamming problem caused by ice and snow freezing in severe cold environments. At the same time, the filter prevents impurities from entering the equipment and affecting the operation of the components.

[0017] 2. This utility model, through the threaded engagement structure of the threaded column and the threaded sleeve, allows for flexible adjustment of the height of the main body of the equipment by rotating the threaded sleeve. Combined with the level on the top of the connecting seat, the horizontal status of the equipment can be observed in real time. This solves the problems of low horizontal adjustment accuracy and inconvenient operation of traditional equipment. Furthermore, the fixed connection structure between the column and the base replaces the traditional cement pier, simplifies the installation process, reduces site restrictions, and enables the equipment to be quickly calibrated to a horizontal state in different installation environments, ensuring the counting accuracy of the tipping bucket metering module and improving the accuracy of precipitation data.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model is a self-melting tipping bucket precipitation monitoring device, including a base 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, an adjustment mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the top of the column 2, a device body 4 fixedly connected to the top of the adjustment mechanism 3, a heating and filtering assembly 5 provided on the top of the device body 4, the heating and filtering assembly 5 including an annular groove 51, the annular groove 51 being opened on the top of the device body 4, a heating coil 52 being provided in the inner cavity of the annular groove 51, a sealing heat-conducting plate 53 being fixedly connected to the top of the annular groove 51 and above the heating coil 52, a filter screen 54 being provided on the top of the inner cavity of the device body 4, and positioning mechanisms 55 being provided on the bottom of both sides of the device body 4.

[0027] Specifically: The heating coil 52 forms a ring-shaped heating circuit. This ring-shaped heating method ensures that the heat generated by the heating coil 52 evenly covers the precipitation inlet area at the top of the equipment body 4. When rain or snow falls on the top of the equipment body 4, the heat released by the energized heating coil 52 can quickly act on the rain or snow, preventing it from accumulating and freezing on the top of the equipment body 4. Rubber insulation material is used to isolate the heating coil 52 from the equipment body 4 to prevent leakage and ensure safe operation. The sealed heat-conducting plate 53 covers the opening of the annular groove 51, achieving a sealed protection for the heating coil 52 inside the annular groove 51, preventing rainwater from entering. Dust and other impurities entering the annular groove 51 can damage the heating coil 52 or affect the heating effect. The sealing heat-conducting plate 53 and the annular groove 51 are sealed with sealant to further improve the sealing performance and prevent water leakage. The high thermal conductivity of the sealing heat-conducting plate 53 allows it to quickly conduct the heat generated by the heating coil 52 to its surface. When rain or snow falls on the sealing heat-conducting plate 53, the heat can be quickly transferred to the rain or snow through the sealing heat-conducting plate 53, accelerating the melting of the rain or snow. At the same time, the surface of the sealing heat-conducting plate 53 is smoothed to reduce the residue of melted rainwater on its surface, allowing the rainwater to flow quickly into the main body 4 of the equipment and preventing rainwater residue from affecting subsequent precipitation measurement.

[0028] The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 31, which is positioned above the column 2. A threaded column 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 31. A threaded sleeve 33 is threadedly connected to the top of the threaded column 32. A connecting seat 34 is movably connected to the top of the threaded sleeve 33. A level 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the connecting seat 34. The positioning mechanism 55 includes mounting holes 551, which are located on both sides of the connecting seat 34. A movable rod 552 is provided inside the mounting hole 551. A connecting block 553 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable rod 552. A spring 554 is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 552. A fixed spring 554 is provided on the top of one side of the connecting block 553. The device body 4 is connected with a locking post 555. The bottom of both sides of the device body 4 is provided with locking holes 556 that cooperate with the locking post 555. The top of the column 2 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 6. The top of the fixing seat 6 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 31. The top of the base 1 is fixedly connected with a reinforcing block 7. One side of the reinforcing block 7 is fixedly connected with the column 2. The top of the base 1 is provided with a positioning hole 8. One side of the movable rod 552 passes through the inner cavity of the mounting hole 551 and extends to the outside of the mounting hole 551. One side of the movable rod 552 is fixedly connected with a push rod. The top of the device body 4 is fixedly connected with positioning posts 9 on both sides of the top. The top of the positioning posts 9 passes through to the outside of the filter screen 54.

[0029] Specifically: The movable connection between the connecting seat 34 and the threaded sleeve 33 provides a certain amount of rotation space for the horizontal adjustment of the equipment body 4. Combined with the level 35 on top of the connecting seat 34, the horizontal status of the equipment body 4 can be displayed in real time. Operators can adjust the rotation angle of the threaded sleeve 33 or the posture of the connecting seat 34 according to the level 35 to quickly calibrate the equipment body 4 to a horizontal position. The elastic force of the spring 554 continuously pushes the connecting block 553 and the locking pin 555 towards the equipment body 4, causing the locking pin 555 to naturally engage with the locking holes 556 on both sides of the equipment body 4, forming an automatic locking effect. This achieves rapid positioning and fixation of the equipment body 4 and the connecting seat 34. The fixing seat 6 increases the force-bearing area at the top of the column 2. The weight of the adjusting mechanism 3 and the main body of the equipment 4 is more evenly distributed to the column 2, avoiding deformation of the top of the column 2 or the connection part of the connecting plate 31 due to concentrated force. The reinforcing block 7 can greatly enhance the connection rigidity between the column 2 and the base 1, effectively resisting the lateral force generated by the weight of the equipment above or the external wind force on the column 2, and preventing the column 2 from tilting. The push rod increases the contact area between the hand and the parts. The staff can push the push rod to drive the movable rod 552 to slide in the mounting hole 551. The positioning post 9 penetrates to the outside of the filter screen 54 and plays a positioning role for the filter screen 54. When installing the filter screen 54, the staff only needs to align the corresponding hole of the filter screen 54 with the positioning post 9 and insert it to quickly determine the installation position of the filter screen 54.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: According to the indication of the level 35, the staff adjusts the height by rotating the threaded sleeve 33 or fine-tunes the posture of the connecting seat 34 to calibrate the main body 4 to a horizontal position. When installing the main body 4, the bottom of the main body 4 is aligned with the top of the connecting seat 34. The locking holes 556 on both sides of the main body 4 will automatically align with the locking posts 555. The spring 554 pushes the locking posts 555 to naturally lock into the locking holes 556, forming an automatic locking effect. No additional bolts are needed to achieve a stable connection between the main body 4 and the connecting seat 34.

[0031] When disassembling the main body 4 for maintenance, the staff only needs to push the push rod to make the movable rod 552 slide in the mounting hole 551, which in turn drives the connecting block 553 to compress the spring 554, so that the locking post 555 disengages from the locking hole 556, easily completing the separation of the main body 4 from the connecting seat 34.

[0032] When the equipment is running, rain and snow fall on the top of the main body 4. The heating coil 52 is energized and works. The heating coil 52 is distributed in a ring shape in the annular groove 51 on the top of the main body 4, forming a ring heating circuit. The heat generated can evenly cover the precipitation inlet area on the top of the main body 4. The sealed heat-conducting plate 53 can quickly conduct the heat generated by the heating coil 52 to its surface. The heat is transferred to the rain and snow falling on it through the sealed heat-conducting plate 53, accelerating the melting of rain and snow and preventing rain and snow from accumulating and freezing on the top of the main body 4. Rainwater flows into the main body 4, passes through the filter screen 54 to filter impurities, and flows into the tipping bucket metering structure inside the main body 4.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
