Title:
ELECTRONIC BUCKET-TYPE PRECIPITATION METER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/077511
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
According to the present invention, an electronic bucket-type precipitation meter includes: an inclined bucket which extends at an angle from one edge to the center so as to collect rainwater; a measurement bucket which extends downward so that the rainwater is collected at the center of the inclined bucket, wherein a measurement unit is installed on a side surface thereof so as to measure the collected rainwater; a covering part in which the upper covering part is formed at the upper part thereof and has an inclined contact surface having the same incline as the inclined bucket, and in which the lower covering part is formed at the lower part thereof so as to block the bottom surface of the measurement bucket; and a lifting and lowering driving unit which lifts and lowers the cover part. Precipitation in the measurement bucket at a predetermined volume is electronically and accurately measured so that the precipitation can be measured accurately. In addition, the fixed measurement bucket is used to address the problem of precipitation measurement errors caused by wind. Further, the present invention can be manufactured to have a simple structure, can be installed at low cost, and can allow high precision measurement. Furthermore, one problem of turnover-type precipitation meters and weight-type precipitation meters of the related art, namely, converting the precipitation height through weight measurements and not compensating for the temperature-based volume variations of the water, is solved so that an accurate precipitation volume is measured, the precipitation height is converted, the temperature-based volume variation of the water is not generated, and the precipitation can be measured accurately.
