Secondly, the temperature measuring probe changes the measuring position, which can adapt to network devices arranged in arrays with different spacings and measure the temperature of adjacent network devices; multiple temperature measuring probes repeat the measurement of the same measuring point to improve the accuracy of the measurement data, and can judge the temperature change trend of the network device according to the data change, and increase the monitoring frequency of key heating areas. To this end, the present invention provides a network equipment temperature control device, including a temperature measuring mechanism, the temperature measuring mechanism includes at least two temperature measuring probes and a first shell, the temperature measuring mechanism also includes a rotatable probe connector, the temperature measuring probe outer shell is provided with a probe connector, and the probe connector cooperates with the first shell. By using multiple temperature measuring probes to repeatedly measure the same measuring point, the temperature change trend of the measuring point can be determined, which is beneficial to controlling the temperature change of the network equipment; the rotatable probe connector cooperates with the first shell to rotate the temperature measuring probe and adjust the measuring positions of the two temperature measuring probes to adapt to network equipment arranged in arrays with different spacings. Compared with the fixed temperature measuring probe, which can only measure the measuring point directly opposite the temperature measuring probe, the device can have a larger monitoring range.

[0004] Preferably, the temperature measuring probe includes a first measuring probe and a second measuring probe, the second measuring probe and the first measuring probe are located at the same height, and the connection line between the second measuring probe and the first measuring probe is in the same direction as the moving direction of the device moving mechanism. The first measuring probe performs a first measurement on the first measuring point of the network device to obtain the primary data of the first measuring point. When the device moves to the second position, the first measuring probe performs a first measurement on the second measuring point of the network device. At the same time, the second measuring probe performs a second measurement on the first measuring point of the network device to obtain the secondary data of the first measuring point. The temperature change trend of the network device can be grasped through the primary data and secondary data of the first measuring point, which is conducive to regulating the temperature of the network device.

[0005] Preferably, the temperature measuring probe further comprises a third measuring probe located between the first measuring probe and the second measuring probe. The third measuring probe is provided to measure the intermediate position between the first measuring point and the second measuring point to obtain auxiliary data D 31 Since the first measuring probe and the second measuring probe obtain the primary data D of the second measuring point respectively 21 and the secondary data D of the first measurement point 12 Due to heat transfer, the middle position between the first measuring point and the second measuring point will be affected by the temperature of the first measuring point and the second measuring point.

Furthermore, the probe connector is a sphere, which is conducive to keeping the exposed length of the temperature measuring probe fixed, avoiding twisting of the transmission cable of the temperature measuring probe, deformation of the temperature measuring part, or poor contact at the connection between the transmission cable and the temperature measuring part due to tension, which affects the temperature measurement accuracy of the network device.

The transmission cable is provided with a first shell and a second shell outside the transmission cable, and a gap and an elastic body are provided between the first shell and the second shell, so that the gap and the elastic body can withstand the bumps and abnormal impacts of the movement of the equipment, and prevent the transmission cable from being separated from the temperature measuring part or twisting the transmission cable, which affects the temperature measurement accuracy of the network equipment.

[0009] Preferably, the network equipment temperature control device further comprises an equipment moving mechanism, and the temperature measuring mechanism further comprises a positioning mechanical arm, one end of the positioning mechanical arm is a fixed end connected to the equipment moving mechanism, and the other end of the positioning mechanical arm is a free end connected to the temperature measuring probe.

[0010] The present invention also provides a network equipment inspection method, which is applicable to the above-mentioned network equipment temperature control device. The measurement point that has been measured by the first measurement probe will be measured again by the second measurement probe. According to the different measurement results of the temperature measurement probe, the processing unit of the device will adjust the position of the temperature measurement probe of the device. For example, the first measurement probe measures the first measurement point. 11 and the primary data D of the second measuring probe on the first measuring point 21 The difference between the two measurements is greater than the time interval between the two measurements, or the auxiliary data D of the third measuring probe. 31 Not in compliance with D 11 and D 21 If the distribution law of the two heat sources is not obtained, the measurement position of the second measuring probe is wrong, and the running track of the device deviates; the primary data D of the second measuring probe on the first measuring point 21 Much larger than the primary data D of the first measuring point by the first measuring probe 11 , the network equipment heats up too quickly, the processing unit sends a signal requiring operator intervention, and the network equipment is interrupted.

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely 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.

[0017] like Figure 2As shown, the network equipment temperature control device also includes a temperature measuring mechanism, which includes at least two temperature measuring probes 1 and a first shell 12. The temperature measuring mechanism also includes a rotatable probe connector 13. The probe connector 13 is provided on the outer shell of the temperature measuring probe, and the probe connector 13 cooperates with the first shell 12. By using multiple temperature measuring probes 1 to repeatedly measure the same measuring point, the temperature change trend of the measuring point can be determined, which is conducive to controlling the temperature change of the network equipment; the rotatable probe connector 13 cooperates with the first shell 12 to rotate the temperature measuring probe 1 and adjust the measuring position of the temperature measuring probe 1, so as to adapt to network equipment arranged in arrays with different spacings, and compared with the fixed temperature measuring probe 1, which can only measure the measuring point facing the temperature measuring probe 1, the device can have a larger monitoring range.

[0018] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the temperature measuring probe 1 includes a first measuring probe and a second measuring probe, the second measuring probe and the first measuring probe are located at the same height, and the connection line between the second measuring probe and the first measuring probe is in the same direction as the moving direction of the device moving mechanism 3. The first measuring probe performs a first measurement on the first measuring point of the network device to obtain the primary data of the first measuring point. When the device moves to the second position, the first measuring probe performs a first measurement on the second measuring point of the network device. At the same time, the second measuring probe performs a second measurement on the first measuring point of the network device to obtain the secondary data of the first measuring point. The temperature change trend of the network device can be grasped through the primary data and the secondary data of the first measuring point, which is conducive to regulating the temperature of the network device.

[0019] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the temperature measuring probe 1 further includes a second shell 14, which is located inside the first shell 12.

The second shell 14 and the first shell 12 cooperate with the probe connector 13 respectively to control the rotation angle of the probe connector 13, that is, to control the rotation angle of the temperature measuring probe 1. Since the first shell 12 is fixed, moving the second shell 14 can deflect the temperature measuring probe 1, so that the temperature measuring probe 1 is deflected and the measuring distance between the first measuring probe and the second measuring probe is changed. Therefore, the first shell 12 avoids being made into a split component that needs to be telescopic, thereby improving the structural strength of the first shell 12, improving the ability of the first shell 12 to withstand abnormal collisions, and improving the structural strength of the temperature measuring probe 1.

The contact surface between the probe connector 13 and the first shell 12 is a curved surface, which is conducive to the rotation of the probe connector 13 relative to the first shell 12, and avoids the friction between the temperature measuring probe 1 and the first shell 12 and the second shell 14 when the temperature measuring probe 1 is deflected relative to the first shell 12. Furthermore, the probe connector 13 is a sphere, which is conducive to keeping the exposed length of the temperature measuring probe 1 fixed, and avoids the transmission cable of the temperature measuring probe 1 from twisting or the temperature measuring part 11 from deforming, which affects the temperature measurement accuracy of the network device.

[0021] The temperature measuring probe 1 also includes a transmission cable, which is located inside the second shell 14 and passes through the probe connector 13. The transmission cable is provided with a first shell 12 and a second shell 14 outside, and there is a gap and an elastic body 15 between the first shell 12 and the second shell 14, which can withstand the bumps and abnormal impacts of the movement of the equipment through the gap and the elastic body 15, so as to prevent the transmission cable from being separated from the temperature measuring part 11 or the transmission cable from being twisted, which affects the temperature measurement accuracy of the network equipment.

The third measuring probe is provided to measure the intermediate position between the first measuring point and the second measuring point to obtain auxiliary data D 31 Since the first measuring probe and the second measuring probe obtain the primary data D of the second measuring point respectively 21 and the secondary data D of the first measurement point 12 Due to heat transfer, the middle position between the first measuring point and the second measuring point will be affected by the temperature of the first measuring point and the second measuring point. The primary data D of the second measuring point can be verified by auxiliary data. 21 and the secondary data D of the first measurement point 12 Whether it complies with the heat transfer law, judge whether the heat dissipation function of the network equipment is normal, and the secondary data D of the first measurement point 12 and the primary data D of the first measurement point 11 The amplitude of change on the time scale is used to determine whether the device deviates from the preset operating trajectory and calibrate the operation of the device; the first measuring probe and the second measuring probe can be deflected toward the third measuring probe to measure the same measuring point, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of temperature detection of a single network device.

[0023] The present invention also provides a network equipment inspection method, which is applicable to the above-mentioned network equipment temperature control device. The measurement point that has been measured by the first measurement probe will be measured again by the second measurement probe. According to the different measurement results of the temperature measurement probe 1, the processing unit of the device will adjust the position of the temperature measurement probe 1 of the device. For example, the first measurement probe measures the primary data D of the first measurement point. 11 and the primary data D of the second measuring probe on the first measuring point 21 The difference between the two measurements is greater than the time interval between the two measurements, or the auxiliary data D of the third measuring probe. 31 Not in compliance with D 11 and D 21 If the distribution law of the two heat sources is not correct, the measurement position of the second measuring probe is wrong; the primary data D of the second measuring probe on the first measuring point 21 Much larger than the primary data D of the first measuring point by the first measuring probe 11 , the network equipment heats up too quickly, the processing unit sends a signal requiring operator intervention, and the network equipment is interrupted.
