The outdoor rainfall monitoring device comprises a cylinder body, a water collecting hopper, a tipping bucket
rain gauge and a rotating shaft, an inner cavity is formed in the cylinder body, a containing cavity is formed in the top of the cylinder body in a concave mode, a through hole is formed in the bottom wall of the inner cavity, the water collecting hopper is fixedly arranged at the top of the containing cavity, and the water collecting hopper is eccentrically communicated with a dripping
pipe. A filter screen covers the top of the water collecting hopper, the tipping bucket
rain gauge comprises a measuring tipping bucket, the measuring tipping bucket is movably arranged below the water dripping
pipe, through grooves are formed in the positions, below the two ends of the measuring tipping bucket, of the bottom wall of the containing cavity, the rotating shaft is rotationally arranged in the
barrel, and a plurality of fan blades are fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the rotating shaft at intervals in the through hole in the circumferential direction; and a cleaning
brush is detachably arranged at the top of the rotating shaft above the filter screen. Through the arrangement, the cleaning
brush rotates along with the rotating shaft by utilizing the
kinetic energy of rainwater falling into the water collecting hopper, foreign matters adhered to the surface of the filter screen are scraped off, the situation that the rainwater cannot smoothly flow into the water collecting hopper due to the blockage of the foreign matters is avoided, and the accuracy of a detection result is improved.
