Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power plant inspection, and in particular to an application device based on AI technology at a work site. Background Art

[0002] Strengthening equipment management is an important guarantee for improving the operation and management level of power plants. In the operation and management of power plants, it is usually necessary to inspect and repair equipment regularly or irregularly to keep the equipment in a safe operating state. In the operation and management practice, in order to ensure the safe operation of power plant equipment, it is necessary to improve the automation level of inspection. While improving the automation of inspection, human resources can be released, and inspection personnel can devote more energy to key operations. Automated inspection is a regular or random flow inspection of power plant equipment, systems, instruments, etc., to promptly discover and deal with problems.

[0003] Existing monitoring equipment often uses high-definition cameras to take pictures of various equipment in power plants, and then transmits them to the monitoring system for AI recognition. This can help grasp the working status of various equipment in the power plant and whether the staff have violated any regulations. However, this method requires the installation of a large number of high-definition cameras and thermal imaging instruments. The installation and maintenance costs of the equipment are very high, and it is not suitable for large-scale use.

[0004] To this end, we proposed an application device based on AI technology at the work site. That is, in the context of the current information technology, we proposed intelligent inspection. Intelligent inspection mainly uses the current technology to preset inspection routes, automatically transmit equipment inspection images, and automatically alarm when abnormalities are found.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1-6 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides an application device based on AI technology at a work site, and the device includes a mobile unit 100, a driving unit 200 and a monitoring unit 300.

[0034] The mobile unit 100 includes an obstacle avoidance vehicle 101 and a 5G antenna 103 symmetrically arranged on the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101. A lighting lamp 102 is arranged on the front of the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101. The lighting lamp 102 has at least two groups and is an Ied light source to ensure lighting conditions. The obstacle avoidance vehicle 101 is provided with a plurality of obstacle avoidance sensors 106. The plurality of obstacle avoidance sensors 106 are arranged in groups of two and are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101. A connecting seat 107 is also fixedly connected to the upper side of the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101. An indicator light 107a is arranged on the connecting seat 107. To indicate the working status, a laser radar 105 is arranged on the connecting seat 107, and a speaker 104 is installed on the back side of the laser radar 105. The cooperation between the laser radar 105 and the obstacle avoidance sensor 106 provides route planning for the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101. The speaker 104 can allow the device to sound an alarm when an abnormality is found. Specifically, a battery box 108 for providing power to the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101 is arranged at the bottom, and a power interface 108a is arranged on one side of the battery box 108, and the battery box 108 can be charged through the power interface 108a.

[0035] The driving unit 200 includes a spindle motor 201, a limit plate 203 fixedly arranged on the spindle motor 201 through a connecting column, and a disk-shaped magnetic block 204 arranged inside the limit plate 203. The output end of the spindle motor 201 is fixedly connected to a driving spindle 202, and the driving spindle 202 passes through the bottom side of the limit plate 203 and is fixedly connected to the disk-shaped magnetic block 204.

[0036] The monitoring unit 300 includes a symmetrically arranged high-definition network camera 301 and an infrared thermal imager 302. The captured images can be transmitted to the computer user end through the 5G antenna 103 for AI scene recognition. The high-definition network camera 301 and the infrared thermal imager 302 are both connected to an electromagnet 304 through a rotating shaft. The electromagnet 304 is rotatably arranged on a limit plate 203. A driven gear 305 is fixedly inserted on the rotating shaft between the high-definition network camera 301, the infrared thermal imager 302 and the electromagnet 304. Specifically, the electromagnet 304 is provided with a bite portion 304a, and the limit plate 203 is provided with an annular groove 203a. 304 is slidably arranged in the annular groove 203a, and the annular groove 203a is annularly arranged. The electromagnet 304 slides in the annular groove 203a and cannot be separated under the action of the bite portion 304a. Note that the electromagnet 304 is powered on when the device is working, and the high-definition network camera 301 or infrared thermal imager 302 connected thereto does not need to turn around the limit plate 203, and the electromagnet 304 can also be powered off, ensuring that the disk-shaped magnetic block 204 cannot drive the electromagnet 304 to slide even under the action of rotation. The purpose of this setting is to separately control the turnover of the high-definition network camera 301 and the infrared thermal imager 302. A steering assembly 303 for driving the driven gear 305 to rotate is provided on one side of the high-definition network camera 301 and the infrared thermal imager 302.

[0037] Furthermore, the center position of the limit plate 203 is fixedly connected to the center shaft 205, and the steering assembly 303 includes a sleeve 303a rotatably set on the center shaft 205, a steering motor 303d fixed to the sleeve 303a through a connecting piece 303b, and a driving gear 303c fixedly set at the output end of the steering motor 303d, and the driving gear 303c is meshingly connected with the driven gear 305. By controlling the steering motors 303d on different sides to drive the driving gear 303c to rotate in different directions, the high-definition network camera 301 or the infrared thermal imager 302 can be separately turned, and the control is flexible and the applicability is strong.

[0038] During use, the obstacle avoidance vehicle 101 drives the high-definition network camera 301 and the infrared thermal imager 302 to perform mobile inspection and monitoring along the set route. During the monitoring process, the steering motor 303d drives the active gear 303c to rotate, that is, the driven gear 305 rotates, driving the high-definition network camera 301 or the infrared thermal imager 302 to adjust its angle, and when the electromagnet 304 is energized, it maintains a high suction force with the disc-shaped magnetic block 204, so that the spindle motor 201 drives the disc-shaped magnetic block 204 to rotate, that is, the electromagnet 304 slides in the annular groove 203a, so that the high-definition network camera 301 or the infrared thermal imager 302 can rotate around the limit plate 203, thereby achieving a large range of shooting and a wide monitoring range, which greatly reduces the cost of use and subsequent maintenance.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
