[0042] In the PLC-based seismometer automatic north-seeking protection system provided by the utility model: the PLC controller adopts the existing PLC controller module, such as the Panasonic FPX control module or the Siemens CPU control module, for driving and controlling the box cover locking mechanism, the centering drive mechanism and the rotation drive mechanism; the rotation drive motor 26, the centering motor 13 and the lock motor 44 all adopt the existing stepper motor; the rotation drive circuit, the centering drive circuit and the box cover locking drive circuit all adopt the corresponding stepper motor drive circuit; the wireless communication module adopts the existing wireless communication module, such as the WiFi communication module or the Zigbee wireless communication module, for transmitting the data of the seismometer 34 to the remote control center and receiving the control instructions issued by the remote control center; the RFID card reader 24 adopts the existing RFID card reader for identifying the staff identity card information.

[0043] The utility model provides a PLC-based seismometer automatic north-seeking protection system. When in use, the PLC controller controls the rotating drive mechanism to rotate the disc 35 to drive the seismometer 34 to rotate, so that the laser spot of the laser rangefinder 31 on the seismometer 34 completely falls into the bottom of the alignment hole 21 on the distance measuring block 22, thereby realizing the remote automatic north-seeking function of the seismometer. When judging whether the laser spot falls into the bottom, it is only necessary to judge whether the measurement data of the laser rangefinder 31 has a sudden change, that is, whether the changed value is the hole depth of the alignment hole 21. If so, it indicates that the north-seeking alignment is successful.

[0044] When returning to the center, after a strong earthquake, the seismometer 34 may deviate from the center to a large extent, and may not succeed after rotating to find the north. If the north search fails after two 360° rotations, the center adjustment is started, and the PLC controller controls the centering drive mechanism to make the output shaft of the centering motor 13 move to drive the four screw rods 16 to rotate, so that the four centering push rods 18 move toward the center at the same time, thereby realizing the simultaneous return of the seismometer 34 in four directions;

[0045] If the circular box cover 9 needs to be opened, the operator's card information must be read by the RFID card reader 24 to determine whether the operator is allowed to open the box cover locking mechanism; if allowed, the operator can control the box cover locking mechanism to open through the PLC controller; after the box cover locking mechanism is opened, the circular box cover 9 and the centering drive mechanism can be taken out from the circular window 12;

[0046] After each seismic wave is detected, the PLC controller automatically controls the centering drive mechanism to center the seismometer 34, and the PLC controller controls the rotating drive mechanism to find the north again; in addition, the control personnel can also issue instructions to the PLC controller through the remote control center to control the centering drive mechanism to center and the rotating drive mechanism to find the north.

[0047] As mentioned above, although the invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be interpreted as limiting the invention itself. Various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention defined in the appended claims.
