Light-weight integrated X-band meteorological radar structure
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a X wave band meteorological radar, especially a light weight type integration X wave band meteorological radar structure.
Background
The X-band meteorological radar has unique functions in small-scale strong convection meteorological monitoring aspects such as small-area precipitation, hailstone cloud, tornado, cyclone and the like by the specific detection capability and working wavelength characteristics of the X-band meteorological radar on a small-scale meteorological system. The method is mainly used for artificially influencing weather, preventing and reducing weather disasters, ensuring emergency weather, performing scientific experiments and the like.
However, the structural design of the traditional domestic X-band meteorological radar is single, and the following defects exist:
1. the revolving stage is complicated, and weight is heavier, and the consumption is great: in the traditional X-waveband weather radar structure, the thickness of a metal casting is increased by considering environmental factors such as wind resistance, water resistance and the like, so that the weight of the whole machine is increased, the servo driving power is increased, and the power consumption of the whole machine is increased.
2. The maintenance is complicated: when the traditional X-band meteorological radar is maintained, on one hand, a fault part can be replaced only by sequentially disassembling the fault part from outside to inside, and on the other hand, the modularization degree is not high, and the on-site device level is required to be subjected to troubleshooting and testing when the fault occurs.
3. The operation mode is single: the traditional X-band meteorological radar operation mode is limited by application scenes and structural design, and can only realize rotation of a pitch angle of 0-90 degrees. Because the structure is heavier, the gravity center is deviated, and the gear is out of step due to reverse impact on the pitching gear when the lifting jack is overturned, so that an angle error is brought to the servo motor.
The radar can quickly turn to the opposite direction by over-top scanning, the detection time is shortened, the early warning and forecasting time for the rapidly-changed disastrous weather is prolonged, in addition, on the aeronautical weather, the forecasting and early warning are required to be carried out on a runway and two side extension lines, and therefore the traditional X-band meteorological radar cannot meet the fields of aeronautical weather, scientific research and the like. In addition, with the continuous development of the X-band meteorological radar technology and the increasingly complex application scene, the requirement of unattended function is more and more urgent, the requirement of the X-band meteorological radar on environmental adaptability and power consumption is gradually increased, and the X-band meteorological radar structure is subjected to higher requirements.
