  • Patent number: 11994483
    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an apparatus for detecting rain using a wire mesh sensor including: a wire mesh which is configured to include a plurality of transmitters and a plurality of receivers; and a fixing part for fixing the wire mesh; wherein the plurality of transmitters supply electricity to the wire mesh, and wherein, in response to rain being positioned between a specific transmitter among the plurality of transmitters and a specific receiver among the plurality of receivers, the specific receiver is configured to receive the electricity from the specific transmitter and then transmit the electricity to a measuring part, to thereby allow the measuring part to measure conductivity. This hemispherical apparatus can detect rain accurately by making the incident angles of the rain to be vertical regardless of the directions of the rain.

  • Patent number: 11988550
    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for detecting the contamination on the glass dome of the solar radiation observing sensor. The apparatus includes: the solar radiation observing sensor; the glass dome; a light source, wherein artificial light emitted from the light source is allowed to be incident on the medium of the glass dome at a predetermined angle and thus the artificial light incident on the medium of the glass dome is allowed to undergo total internal reflection; a light-collecting lens configured to collect natural light and a diffusedly-reflected part of the artificial light; and a contamination-detecting sensor configured to detect contamination, wherein the contamination-detecting sensor measures the natural light and the diffusedly-reflected part of the artificial light collected by the light-collecting lens.
