Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of boiler safety monitoring, and in particular refers to a dark box type industrial video monitoring system for drum water level. Background Art

[0002] In the operation of industrial boilers, accurate monitoring of the drum water level is an important part of ensuring safe operation of the boiler. However, since the boiler is usually in a low-light environment, the display section of the drum water level gauge is often difficult to see clearly. In this case, it is difficult for operators to read accurately, which may lead to operational errors, thus affecting the safety and efficiency of the boiler.

[0003] However, the common dark-box drum water level gauges on the market usually use a single-mode light source. This single-mode light source has poor adaptability in different environments, especially in environments with large light changes, and the display effect is poor, making it difficult to meet various operating requirements. In addition, the single-mode light source also limits the use of the water level gauge in high-contrast environments, further increasing the risk of reading errors. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a dark box type steam drum water level industrial video monitoring system, which can adapt to the needs under different lighting conditions by switching light sources in multiple modes.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a dark box type steam drum water level industrial video monitoring system provided by the present invention comprises an outer box body, which is L-shaped; an industrial camera, which is arranged in the outer box body; a mirror, which is arranged in the outer box body; a fractal light, which comprises a first fractal light, a second fractal light and a third fractal light, which are arranged in the outer box body; a water level meter, which is arranged in the outer box body; a controller, which is electrically connected to the industrial camera; and a display, which is electrically connected to the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, the first fractal light, the second fractal light and the third fractal light are all rectangular.

[0007] Furthermore, the industrial camera is arranged along the direction inside the L-shaped outer box.

[0008] Furthermore, the fractal lamp is arranged opposite to the mirror surface and the water level gauge to improve the light reflection effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer box has waterproof and dustproof functions to protect the internal components.

[0010] Furthermore, the controller is used to process the image signal collected by the industrial camera and transmit the processed image signal to the display.

[0011] Furthermore, the display is used to display the water level measured by the water level gauge in real time.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the present invention: Based on the above technical scheme, the dark box type steam drum water level industrial video monitoring system of the present invention realizes real-time monitoring and display of the steam drum water level by adopting an L-shaped outer box body and an industrial camera, mirror, fractal light, water level gauge, controller and display arranged in the outer box body.

[0013] The application of fractal lights is based on the principle of fractals. Fractals are complex geometric structures whose self-similarity and scale invariance give them unique advantages in optical applications. Specifically, fractal lights are designed with multiple fractal units with self-similar structures, so that light can be reflected and scattered multiple times in all directions, thereby achieving efficient and uniform light distribution in a smaller space. In this way, fractal lights can provide a more uniform and softer lighting effect, reduce blind spots and shadows, and improve the brightness and clarity of specular reflections in monitoring systems.

[0014] The fractal lamp is arranged relative to the mirror and the water level gauge, so that the light emitted by the fractal lamp can be more evenly irradiated on the water level gauge after multiple reflections from the mirror, ensuring that the reading of the water level gauge is clearer and more accurate. This design greatly improves the system's response speed and accuracy to water level changes, and solves the problem of insufficient precision and real-time monitoring of the drum water level in the prior art.

[0015] In addition, the waterproof and dustproof design of the outer box also ensures the stable operation of the system in harsh environments. The image signal collected by the industrial camera is processed by the controller and the processed image signal is transmitted to the display, which can realize real-time monitoring and accurate display of the drum water level.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “back”, “left”, “right”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside” and “outside” indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention. Specific embodiment:

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a dark box type industrial video monitoring system for steam drum water level, comprising: an outer box body 1, which is L-shaped; an industrial camera 5, which is arranged in the outer box body 1; a mirror 2, which is arranged in the outer box body 1; a fractal light 3, including a first fractal light 301, a second fractal light 302 and a third fractal light 303, which are arranged in the outer box body 1; a water level meter 4, which is arranged in the outer box body 1; a controller 6, which is electrically connected to the industrial camera 5; and a display 7, which is electrically connected to the controller 6.

[0024] In the above scheme, the system arranges the industrial camera 5, the mirror 2, the fractal lamp 3 and the water level meter 4 in an orderly manner inside the outer box 1 through the L-shaped design, forming a compact monitoring environment. The fractal lamp 3 adopts a fractal structure design. The fractal structure is a structure with self-similar properties in geometric shape, and a complex pattern is formed by repeating a simple shape many times. In this embodiment, the first fractal lamp 301, the second fractal lamp 302 and the third fractal lamp 303 are all rectangular, and their arrangement follows the fractal principle, so as to achieve a more uniform and more efficient lighting effect.

[0025] The design of the fractal lamp 3 can effectively improve the utilization rate of the light source and the uniformity of the illumination. After the light is irradiated by the fractal lamp 3, it is reflected by the mirror 2, which further enhances the utilization rate of the light and ensures that the reading of the water level meter 4 can be clearly captured. After the industrial camera 5 collects the reading of the water level meter 4, it transmits the image signal to the controller 6, which processes the signal and sends it to the display 7 to realize real-time monitoring of the water level.

[0026] Specifically, the first fractal light 301 , the second fractal light 302 and the third fractal light 303 are all rectangular.

[0027] In the above solution, by designing the fractal lamp 3 to be rectangular, the light source area can be better utilized to provide a more uniform lighting effect, thereby improving the clarity of the water level meter 4 reading.

[0028] Specifically, the industrial camera 5 is arranged along the direction inside the L-shaped outer box 1 .

[0029] In the above solution, the industrial camera 5 is arranged along the direction of the L-shaped outer box 1, so that the camera can cover the entire reading area of ​​the water level meter 4, ensuring the comprehensiveness of monitoring.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the fractal lamp 3 is arranged opposite to the mirror 2 and the water level meter 4 to improve the light reflection effect.

[0031] In the above scheme, by arranging the fractal lamp 3, the mirror 2 and the water level meter 4 opposite to each other and utilizing the mirror 2 to reflect the light of the fractal lamp 3, the brightness and clarity of the reading of the water level meter 4 are improved.

[0032] Specifically, the outer box body 1 has waterproof and dustproof functions to protect internal components.

[0033] In the above solution, the waterproof and dustproof design of the outer box 1 ensures the normal operation of the internal components in harsh environments and prolongs the service life of the system.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the controller 6 is used to process the image signal collected by the industrial camera 5 and transmit the processed image signal to the display 7.

[0035] In the above solution, the controller 6 receives the image signal collected by the industrial camera 5 and processes it, such as image enhancement, noise filtering, etc., and then transmits the processed signal to the display 7 for display.

[0036] The industrial camera 5 is a high-sensitivity model SONY XC-333, which can provide high-resolution images in low-light environments. After the industrial camera 5 collects the reading of the water level meter 4, it transmits the image signal to the controller 6.

[0037] The controller 6 adopts the NIPXIe-8840 model, which has powerful image processing capabilities and multiple interfaces, and can efficiently process the image signals collected by the industrial camera 5. The controller 6 processes the image signals, such as image enhancement and noise filtering, and then transmits the processed signals to the display 7 to realize real-time monitoring of the water level.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the display 7 is used to display the water level measured by the water level meter 4 in real time.

[0039] In the above scheme, the display 7 displays the water level measured by the water level meter 4 in real time, providing intuitive water level monitoring information, so that the operator can understand the water level changes in time.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0042] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
