DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent monitoring and detection system for a wind turbine tower, comprising: a vehicle body main frame 1, two walking mechanisms 2, a detection mechanism 3, a cleaning mechanism 4, at least two driving members 6 and two protection mechanisms 5.

[0033] The two traveling mechanisms 2 are connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 and can be adsorbed on the tower and move along the extension direction of the tower.

[0034] The detection mechanism 3 is connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 and comprises a detection member 31 and a lighting lamp 32. The detection member 31 is used to detect the tower, and the lighting lamp 32 is used to illuminate the detection part of the tower.

[0035] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a cleaning piece 41 and a cleaning nozzle 42. The cleaning piece 41 is connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 and its output end is connected to the cleaning nozzle 42. The cleaning nozzle 42 faces the tower when the vehicle body main frame 1 is moving, and is used to spray the medium output by the cleaning piece 41 to the tower through the cleaning nozzle 42 to clean the mud and sand on the tower.

[0036] The driving members 6 are respectively connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 and the driving ends thereof are respectively connected to the corresponding traveling mechanisms 2 for driving the traveling mechanisms 2 to be attached to the tower.

[0037] The two protection mechanisms 5 are movably connected to the driving end, and the two protection mechanisms 5 are enclosed to form a protection cavity covering the walking mechanism 2 and the detection mechanism 3. When the walking mechanism 2 is attached to the tower, the driving end can also drive the two protection mechanisms 5 to enclose and wrap around the tower to form a sealed wrapping cavity.

[0038] In the present device, the walking mechanism 2 can be adsorbed on the tower and move along the extension direction of the tower to drive the device to walk on the surface of the tower. During the walking process, the cleaning nozzle 42 faces the tower, so that the medium output by the cleaning member 41 can be sprayed toward the tower through the cleaning nozzle 42 to clean the mud and sand on the tower. A protective cavity is formed between the two protective mechanisms 5 to cover the walking mechanism 2 and the detection mechanism 3, and the protective cavity can be attached to the tower. When the protective cavity is attached to the tower, the protective cavity is in a sealed state, so that the protective mechanism 5 can isolate the cleaned mud and sand, and prevent the cleaned mud from being Sand entering the protective cavity affects the detection result of the detection member 31. At the same time, the protective mechanism 5 can also block external light, so that the device can perform detection operations under the illumination of the lighting lamp 32. When the light changes due to external weather, the light can be prevented from affecting the detection result. Through the set driving member 6, the driving member 6 can drive the walking mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5 to attach to the tower for towers of different sizes, so that the device can adapt to the conditions on the surface of the tower. Finally, the detection of any part of the tower can be realized through the detection member 31, so that maintenance personnel can understand the status of the wind turbine tower in time.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the driving member 6 includes at least two driving modules, and the driving modules are set to an even number and are evenly arranged on both sides of the vehicle body main frame 1. By setting the driving modules to an even number and evenly arranged on both sides of the vehicle body main frame 1, the driving members 6 can be evenly distributed on both sides of the vehicle body main frame 1, so that the forces on both sides of the vehicle body main frame 1 are evenly applied, and the same number of driving modules are respectively connected to the two groups of traveling mechanisms 2, so that they can stably drive the traveling mechanisms 2 on both sides of the vehicle body main frame 1;

[0040] Each driving module includes a first hinge block 61, a second hinge block 62 and a cylinder 63. The first hinge block 61 is connected to the vehicle body main frame 1, and the second hinge block 62 is connected to the traveling mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5. One end of the cylinder 63 is hinged to the first hinge block 61, and the other end is hinged to the second hinge block 62. By setting the first hinge block 61, the second hinge block 62 and the cylinder 63, the cylinder 63 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 through the first hinge block 61, and its driving end is respectively connected to the traveling mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5 through the second hinge block 62. When the cylinder 63 is relatively extended or shortened, it can control and adjust the angle between the traveling mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5 and the vehicle body main frame 1, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the traveling mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5 according to the towers of different diameters, so that the traveling mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 5 are kept close to the tower.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the detection component 31 includes an ultrasonic flaw detector and a camera, which are both connected to the vehicle body main frame 1 and face the side opposite to the vehicle body main frame 1. By setting the ultrasonic flaw detector and the camera, and electrically connecting the ultrasonic flaw detector and the camera through the controller, when the device walks on the tower, the detection end of the ultrasonic flaw detector and the shooting end of the camera can correspond to the tower, and the ultrasonic flaw detector is used to detect the tower to achieve the purpose of flaw detection. The camera is used to capture the image of the ultrasonic flaw detector on the tower, which is convenient for the operator to complete the detection and analysis of the wind turbine tower according to the image captured by the camera. The ultrasonic flaw detector and the camera are used in combination, and the detection accuracy is high; the vehicle body main frame 1 is also provided with a positioning drive control system 7, and the walking mechanism 2, the cleaning mechanism 4, the driving member 6 and the detection mechanism 3 are all electrically connected to the ground control station through the positioning drive control system 7. Through the positioning drive control system 7, the walking mechanism 2, the cleaning mechanism 4, the driving member 6 and the detection mechanism 3 can be controlled by the positioning drive control system 7 at the ground control station, so as to realize remote, convenient and sensitive control of the detection system.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, each walking mechanism 2 includes a wall-climbing wheel 21 and an adsorption device 22. The wall-climbing wheel 21 is movably connected to the vehicle body main frame 1, and the two wall-climbing wheels 21 can move relative to the vehicle body main frame 1 to respectively fit the wall of the tower, and can rotate to drive the vehicle body main frame 1 to walk on the tower. The adsorption device 22 is connected to the wall-climbing wheel 21. The wall-climbing wheel 21 can be adsorbed on the tower via the adsorption device 22, so that the wall-climbing wheel 21 can drive the vehicle body main frame 1 to move on the tower in a state of being adsorbed on the tower. This structural arrangement enables the wall-climbing wheel 21 to respectively fit the wall of the tower under the drive of the driving member 6, and can be adsorbed on the tower via the adsorption device 22, thereby realizing driving the vehicle body main frame 1 to move on the tower;

[0043] The wall-climbing wheel 21 is a crawler-type driving wheel. A driving motor 211 whose driving end is connected to the central axis of the driving wheel is provided on the driving wheel of the crawler-type driving wheel. The wall-climbing wheel 21 can also be a circular roller. The adsorption device 22 includes a plurality of permanent magnets evenly arranged on the crawler surface of the crawler-type driving wheel or the surface of the circular roller. The crawler-type driving wheel is hinged to the main frame 1 of the vehicle body through the arranged wall-climbing wheel 21, the driving motor 211 and the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is arranged on the crawler surface of the crawler-type driving wheel. The permanent magnet and the The tower wall generates attraction so that the device is adsorbed on the tower, and the driving motor 211 can drive the driving wheel of the crawler driving wheel to rotate, so that the vehicle body main frame 1 can walk on the tower surface under the drive of the two walking mechanisms 2; when the wall climbing wheel 21 is a circular roller, one end of it is provided with a driving motor 211 connected to its central axis with a driving shaft, and the driving motor 211 can drive the circular roller to rotate, and a permanent magnet is arranged on the surface of the circular roller, and the permanent magnet and the tower wall generate attraction so that the device is adsorbed on the tower;

[0044] In this embodiment, one end of the wall-climbing wheel 21 close to the vehicle body main frame 1 is hingedly fixed to the vehicle body main frame 1, so that the wall-climbing wheel 21 can generate a bending moment relative to one side of the vehicle body main frame 1, so as to bend and fit the tower under the drive of the driving member 6.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning part 41 includes a water tank and a water pump, and the cleaning nozzle 42 is a pressure nozzle. The water pump is arranged in the water tank, and its water inlet is connected with the water tank, and its water outlet is connected with the pressure nozzle through a connecting pipe. Through the arranged water tank, water pump and pressure nozzle, water can be stored in the water tank. The pressure nozzle is a high-pressure nozzle. The water pump can pump the water in the water tank to the pressure nozzle through the connecting pipe, so that the water is sprayed toward the tower through the pressure nozzle, so as to realize the cleaning of the tower. The arrangement uses water to wash the mud and sand on the surface of the tower and its welds, and its cleaning effect is good.

[0046] The cleaning component 41 includes an air pump, and the cleaning nozzle 42 is a gas nozzle. The air outlet of the air pump is connected to the gas nozzle through a connecting pipe. The air pump and the gas nozzle are arranged so that the air pump can spray toward the tower through the connecting pipe and the gas nozzle. When spraying, the mud and sand on the surface of the tower and its welds can be blown off to clean the tower. This arrangement makes the cleaning component 41 lighter, can reduce the load on the main frame 1 of the vehicle body, and has a longer battery life, making it easy to use.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the two protection mechanisms 5 both include a protection shell, and the two protection shells both include a shell 51, a sponge 52 and a rubber strip 53. The shell 51 is connected to the driving member 6, and the two shells 51 are sealed and connected to each other on the side close to each other. A sealing gasket is provided on the side of one shell 51 close to the other shell 51. One side of the sponge 52 is connected to the shell 51, and the other side is connected to the rubber strip 53. Through the shell 51, the sponge 52 and the rubber strip 53, when the device moves on the surface of the tower, the rubber strip 53 contacts the tower without causing wear and scratches on the surface of the tower. The shell 51 is connected to the rubber strip 53 through the sponge 52. The sponge 52 has a shrinkage property, so that when the protection shell contacts the tower, the sponge 52 can shrink according to the surface of the tower to ensure that the protection shell is attached to the tower, and the protection mechanism 5 can adapt to the surface of the tower. By providing a sealing gasket on the side of one shell 51 close to the other shell 51, it is beneficial to improve the tightness of the connection between the two shells 51.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottoms of the two protective shells are connected to each other in an arc shape so that the protective shells can fit the cylindrical tower, which is more conducive to improving the accuracy of detection; a soft rubber pad is provided on the side of the protective shell close to the main frame 1 of the vehicle body, and the soft rubber pad is in contact with the main frame 1 of the vehicle body to seal the gap between the main frame 1 of the vehicle body and the protective shell, and at the same time provide a certain rotation space between the protective shell and the main frame 1 of the vehicle body.

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of connecting belts 521 are evenly embedded in the sponge body 52, one end of the connecting belt 521 is connected to the shell body 51, and the other end is connected to the rubber strip 53. By evenly embedding a plurality of connecting belts 521 in the sponge body 52, one end of the connecting belt 521 is connected to the shell body 51, and the other end is connected to the rubber strip 53, and in this embodiment, the connecting belt 521 preferably adopts an elastic rope, so that the connecting belt 521 is arranged in the sponge body 52 and is used to connect the shell body 51 and the rubber strip 53, which increases the connection strength of the sponge body 52 to avoid damage or disconnection of the sponge body 52.

[0050] Working principle: During the detection process, the permanent magnet arranged on the wall-climbing wheel 21 enables it to be adsorbed on the surface of the tower. Driven by the driving motor 211, the wall-climbing wheel 21 drives the main frame 1 of the vehicle body to move on the tower, and then the sludge on the tower is cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 4, so that the ultrasonic flaw detector can accurately detect the tower. During the walking process, the cylinder 63 can drive the wall-climbing wheel 21 and the protective mechanism 5 to be attached to the tower through the second hinge block 62, so that it can be suitable for the surface conditions of the tower. The shell 51 can prevent external light from entering the protective cavity. Under the illumination of the lighting lamp 32, the camera can capture the image of the ultrasonic flaw detector on the tower, which is convenient for the operator to complete the inspection of the wind turbine tower according to the image captured by the camera.

[0051] The present invention provides a vehicle body main frame 1 and a walking mechanism 2, and the wall-climbing wheel 21 can drive the device to walk on the tower surface under the action of the adsorption device 22, and cooperates with the driving of the driving member 6 to make the wall-climbing wheel 21 adapt to the surface of the tower and fit the tower, so that it can be applied to towers of different sizes;

[0052] The present invention provides a cleaning mechanism 4 so that the medium output by the cleaning member 41 can be sprayed toward the tower through the cleaning nozzle 42 to clean the residual sand on the tower surface and the tower weld to prevent the sand from affecting the detection of the tower.

[0053] The present invention provides a detection mechanism 3 and a protection mechanism 5, so that the protection mechanism 5 can isolate the cleaned mud and sand, prevent the mud and sand from entering the protection cavity and affecting the detection result of the detection member 31. On the other hand, the protection mechanism 5 can also block external light. The device only performs detection operations under the illumination of the lighting lamp 32. When the light changes due to external weather, the light can be prevented from affecting the detection result. The accuracy of tower detection is high and meets the current detection needs. The driving member 6 is provided so that the driving member 6 can drive the protection cavity to fit the tower, ensuring the effect of the protection mechanism 5 in isolating light and mud.

[0054] The specific implementation of the present invention described above does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
