[0031] Refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an auxiliary patrol device 10 in an embodiment of the present application. The auxiliary patrol device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a patrol rod 100, a detection mechanism 200, and an alarm mechanism 300. The patrol rod 100 has a detection end 100a and a holding end 100b that are arranged away from each other, and the holding end 100b can be used for the operator to hold. The detection mechanism 200 is arranged at the detection end 100a, and the detection mechanism 200 at least includes a temperature acquisition module (not shown) and an image acquisition module (not shown). The alarm mechanism 300 includes an electric field sensing module (not shown) and a first alarm module 310, and the electric field sensing module is connected to the first alarm module 310 by signal. The electric field sensing module is provided with an overpressure alarm threshold. When the electric field sensing module detects that the environmental electric field reaches or exceeds the overpressure alarm threshold, the first alarm module 310 sends an alarm signal.

[0032] Specifically, the temperature acquisition module is used to detect the temperature of the power equipment, and the image acquisition module is used to acquire images of the detection environment.

[0033] It should be noted that the electric field sensing module can be, but is not limited to, implemented as an electric field sensing coil, which can be embedded in the detection end 100a of the patrol pole 100 or directly disposed on the surface of the patrol pole 100, which is not limited here.

[0034] When the auxiliary inspection device 10 is used, the detection mechanism 200 is first installed on the detection end 100a of the inspection rod 100, and the operator then holds the gripping end 100b of the inspection rod 100 and extends the detection mechanism 200 into the detection point while moving to perform maintenance inspection of the power equipment. During the above inspection process, by installing the detection mechanism 200 on the detection end 100a of the inspection rod 100 away from the gripping end 100b, it helps to increase the detection range of the auxiliary inspection device 10, and at the same time, the operator and the detection point form a safe detection distance to avoid the operator from accidentally getting an electric shock.

[0035] In addition, the auxiliary patrol device 10 is also provided with an electric field sensing module and a first alarm module 310, so that when the operator is about to enter or enters a live interval, the first alarm module 310 can send an alarm signal in time to warn the operator, thereby ensuring the operator's operating safety.

[0036] Specifically, the above-mentioned "live interval" is explained below. In some areas of the high-voltage distribution cabinet, generally, through the reasonable arrangement of the high-voltage lines and the various parts of the control switch, an air gap is formed between the high-voltage lines and the various parts of the control switch. The voltage level in the air gap will not be broken down and discharged, which is safe for the power equipment, and the area is generally locked. However, people or animals who mistakenly enter the area, due to their conductivity, reduce the breakdown voltage, produce discharge, and then cause accidents to people, animals and equipment. Therefore, the above-mentioned high-voltage area is a "live interval". Therefore, when working in the live interval, strict management and procedures must be implemented. In most cases, operators need a "work ticket" to enter the above-mentioned area, and even in some areas, the power must be turned off when entering, or the entire live interval is equipped with a locked door to prevent people from mistakenly entering, or an isolation net is provided to prevent rodents from entering.

[0037] Back to the present application, more preferably, in some embodiments, the electric field sensing module of the present application is arranged at the detection end 100a, so that a safe buffer distance is formed between the electric field sensing module and the operator, and the electric field sensing module can sense the overpressure environment in advance before the operator enters the energized interval, so that an alarm signal can be sent through the first alarm module 310 to warn the operator in advance, so that the operator can obtain the buffering effect within the above-mentioned buffer distance, preventing the operator from mistakenly entering the energized interval, and improving the safety of operation.

[0038] Optionally, the first alarm module 310 may include, but is not limited to, a warning light structure and a buzzer structure. The warning light structure is used to emit a warning light, and the buzzer structure is used to emit an alarm sound. Specifically, the warning light structure and the buzzer structure may be, but are not limited to, set at any position of the patrol pole 100, as long as the operator can obtain the alarm signal in time.

[0039] Preferably, the first alarm module 310 is disposed at a position of the patrol pole 100 close to the gripping end 100 b , so that the operator can obtain the alarm signal at a close distance and respond in time, thereby improving the safety of the operation.

[0040] Optionally, the detection mechanism 200 can be implemented as a detection camera, but is not limited to, and the temperature acquisition module and the image acquisition module are integrated into the detection mechanism 200, which helps to reduce the volume of the detection mechanism 200, facilitates detection and patrol operations in narrow environments, and facilitates carrying and storage. At the same time, integrating the temperature acquisition module and the image acquisition module into the detection mechanism 200 helps to improve the functional integration of the patrol auxiliary device, and can realize temperature detection and visual detection of power equipment, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0041] Optionally, the auxiliary patrol device 10 further includes a clamp 210 , which is used to clamp the detection mechanism 200 and is detachably connected to the detection end 100 a , so that the detection mechanism 200 can be quickly disassembled and maintained.

[0042] Optionally, the patrol auxiliary device 10 further includes a lighting module (not shown), which is used to turn on the patrol auxiliary device when operating at a patrol point with insufficient brightness to increase the ambient brightness, thereby facilitating detection and observation. Preferably, the lighting module can also be integrated into the detection mechanism 200, which helps to improve the functionality of the patrol auxiliary device and reduce the volume of the detection mechanism 200.

[0043] Specifically, the temperature acquisition module, the image acquisition module and the lighting module are integrated into the detection mechanism 200. Correspondingly, a corresponding lens can be provided on the detection mechanism 200 to realize the corresponding temperature detection, image acquisition and lighting functions.

[0044] Preferably, the temperature acquisition module is an infrared temperature measurement mechanism, which helps to improve the accuracy of temperature acquisition.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments, the image acquisition module includes a visible light acquisition module and a thermal imaging acquisition module, wherein the visible light acquisition module is used to perform video acquisition of the detection environment, and the thermal imaging acquisition module is used to simultaneously acquire the shape and thermal imaging of the detection target.

[0046] Specifically, during the actual operation application of the patrol auxiliary device, the operator can switch to the visible light acquisition module or the thermal imaging acquisition module at any time to perform detection work according to the actual detection needs, which improves the operator's operation convenience.

[0047] Preferably, in combination with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the fixture 210 can also be replaced by a pan-tilt platform 400, but is not limited thereto. The pan-tilt platform 400 includes a first adjustment platform 410 and a second adjustment platform 420. The second adjustment platform 420 is used to install the detection mechanism 200. The first adjustment platform 410 is rotatably connected to the detection end 100a, and the first adjustment platform 410 can rotate relative to the patrol rod 100 around the length direction L1 of the patrol rod 100 to adjust the orientation of the detection mechanism 200 by 360 degrees. The second adjustment platform 420 is rotatably connected to the first adjustment platform 410, and can rotate relative to the first adjustment platform 410 around the first rotation axis L2 to adjust the elevation angle of the detection mechanism 200. The first rotation axis L2 is perpendicular to the length direction L1 of the patrol rod 100. The auxiliary patrol device 10 also includes a controller, and the pan-tilt platform 400 is connected to the controller signal. The controller is used to control the rotation of the first adjustment platform 410 and the second adjustment platform 420, so as to realize the electric adjustment of the angle of the detection mechanism 200, thereby improving the simplicity and efficiency of detection.

[0048] Preferably, the adjustment angle range of the second adjustment platform 420 relative to the first adjustment platform 410 is 70 degrees. Specifically, when the plane of the detection mechanism 200 coincides with the length direction L1 of the patrol pole 100, the second adjustment platform 420 is placed at the 0 degree position, and at this time, the second adjustment platform 420 can rotate 35 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise around the first rotation axis L2 relative to the first adjustment platform 410, thereby achieving the pitch angle adjustment of the detection mechanism 200. In this embodiment, by setting the adjustment angle range of the second adjustment platform 420 relative to the first adjustment platform 410 to 70 degrees, the detection mechanism 200 can be adjusted in pitch within a reasonable range, avoiding too large or too small adjustment angles, and then avoiding the detection mechanism 200 from falling off or too narrow detection angle.

[0049] Optionally, the detection mechanism 200 may, but is not limited to, further include a second alarm module (not shown). The second alarm module is connected to the temperature acquisition module signal, and the temperature acquisition module is provided with a temperature alarm threshold. When the temperature acquisition module acquires that the ambient temperature reaches or exceeds the temperature alarm threshold, the second alarm module sends an alarm signal, so that the detection result can be sent out in a timely manner through the alarm signal, which is simple and intuitive, and helps to improve the work efficiency. Preferably, the second alarm module is integrated into the detection mechanism 200, which helps to reduce the volume of the detection mechanism 200 and improve the structural integration.

[0050] Specifically, during the inspection of the operation and maintenance of power equipment, it is necessary to detect the temperature of the surrounding environment of the power equipment or the detection point, and the second alarm module is connected to the temperature acquisition module signal, so that the temperature detection result can be obtained in real time. In other words, when the second alarm module does not send out an alarm signal, it means that the detection point is normal, and when the second alarm module sends out an alarm signal, it means that there is an abnormality in the detection point. Therefore, during the inspection of the operation and maintenance of power equipment, the operating personnel can speed up the inspection, and only need to stop for maintenance when the alarm signal is issued, which improves the working efficiency.

[0051] 3 , the auxiliary patrol device 10 may, but is not limited to, further include a first adapter 500. The first adapter 500 is disposed at the detection end 100a, and the first adapter 500 is used to connect the pan / tilt head 400, or the first adapter 500 is used to directly connect the detection mechanism 200, so as to achieve various installation forms of the detection mechanism 200.

[0052] Specifically, according to actual needs, the operating personnel can choose to install the detection mechanism 200 directly on the first adapter 500 through the multi-interface adaptability of the first adapter 500 to reduce the weight of the auxiliary patrol device 10; or add a pan-tilt head 400 through the first adapter 500, connect the pan-tilt head 400 to the first adapter 500, and then install the detection mechanism 200 on the pan-tilt head 400 to increase the angle adjustment function of the detection mechanism 200.

[0053] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the auxiliary patrol device 10 may, but is not limited to, further include a second adapter 600, which is arranged at the gripping end 100b. The second adapter 600 is used to connect the patrol rod 100 to an external device, thereby improving the applicability of the auxiliary patrol device 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the patrol rod 100 can be connected to an external device through the second adapter 600, and the external device can be, for example, some old detection equipment or some equipment that needs to be equipped with a detection function. More specifically, in some scenarios where the power equipment is too high, the second adapter 600 can be connected to the operating rod of the external device and be threadedly connected to the operating rod, thereby overcoming the problem that the power equipment is too high and difficult to observe.

[0054] Optionally, as shown in Figure 2, the patrol rod 100 can be telescopically moved to adjust the distance between the detection end 100a and the holding end 100b. In this way, at the detection point where depth detection is required, the operator can extend the patrol rod 100 so that the detection mechanism 200 can extend into the above-mentioned detection point, thereby improving the simplicity of detection while maintaining a safe detection distance and improving operation safety.

[0055] Preferably, the patrol rod 100 is insulated, which helps to improve work safety.

[0056] Optionally, the detection mechanism 200 also includes a wireless connection module (not shown), which is used for wireless connection to external devices so that the collected information of the temperature acquisition module and the image acquisition module can be transmitted to the external device for operators to perform remote operations, thereby improving the convenience of operations.

[0057] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
