Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inspection equipment, and specifically to an infrared intelligent inspection equipment for power supply and consumption. Background Art
[0002] At present, with the intelligent development of the power system, the stable operation of power supply and consumption equipment is related to national economy and people's livelihood. Infrared intelligent inspection technology, with its characteristics of non-contact, high efficiency, and accurate detection of abnormal heating and potential faults of equipment, has become an indispensable means for the operation and maintenance of power equipment. However, there are many technical shortcomings in the existing infrared intelligent inspection equipment for power supply and consumption in practical applications, which seriously restrict the efficiency and quality of power system operation and maintenance. Most of the existing equipment adopts a fixed support design or only has a simple angle adjustment function, which is difficult to meet the needs of diverse detection scenarios. When detecting special positions such as the side joints of transformers and the top lines of distribution cabinets, due to angle limitations, the infrared camera cannot obtain clear images, resulting in potential hazards such as poor equipment contact and local overheating being difficult to be detected in a timely manner. These undetected potential faults may cause a decline in equipment performance or even large-scale power outages, threatening the safe and stable operation of the power system. The weak protection ability of the equipment cannot be ignored either. In the complex and changeable power operation environment, the existing inspection equipment lacks effective protection measures. During the handling or inspection of the equipment, internal components of the equipment are damaged due to accidental collisions, which not only increases the equipment maintenance cost but also affects the normal progress of the inspection work, reducing the reliability and service life of the equipment. In addition, the inaccurate height adjustment and operational complexity seriously affect the detection effect. Most of the existing equipment relies on manual knobs or simple mechanical structures to adjust the height. Not only is the adjustment accuracy low, but the operation process is also cumbersome. When detecting distribution cabinet equipment at different heights, it is difficult to accurately adjust the inspection camera and infrared sensor to the optimal detection position, resulting in blurred infrared images and large deviations in the collected temperature data, unable to provide a reliable basis for evaluating the operating state of the equipment, increasing the uncertainty and risk of power equipment operation and maintenance. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an infrared intelligent inspection equipment for power supply and consumption to solve the problems raised in the above background art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: An infrared intelligent inspection device for power supply and consumption, comprising an inspection body, moving wheels, a support mechanism and an adjustment mechanism.

The support mechanism includes a mounting frame and a support plate. The support mechanism supports and fixes the inspection body through the support plate. An adjustment mechanism with threaded transmission is arranged on the inspection body on one side of the mounting frame of the support mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes an inspection platform. An inspection camera is placed on the inspection platform, and an infrared sensor is embedded and installed on one side of the inspection body close to the inspection platform.
[0005] As a further solution of the present invention: The support mechanism includes a mounting frame, a rotating shaft, a rotating frame, a fixed rod, a first transmission rod, a driving motor, a second transmission rod, a support plate, a protective plate, a driving rod and a rotating disk. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inspection body. Rotating shafts are symmetrically embedded on both sides of the mounting frame. The mounting frame is movably connected to a rotating frame through the rotating shafts. A fixed rod is fixedly connected between the rotating frames. A plurality of support plates are equidistantly arranged on one side of the rotating frame far from the mounting frame. A protective plate is arranged on one side of the rotating frame close to the support plate.
[0006] As a further solution of the present invention: The protective plate is a stretchable structure, made of a shape memory alloy material for the frame, and a flexible protective material is covered on the surface. The protective plate cooperates with the inspection body.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: A driving motor is arranged on one side of the mounting frame. The output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a driving rod. A rotating disk is arranged between the driving rod and the mounting frame. A first transmission rod and a second transmission rod are respectively movably connected to the two fixed rods. The first transmission rod and the second transmission rod are movably connected to the rotating disk on the side far from the fixed rod.
[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: A robotic arm is installed on the upper side of the mounting frame. The robotic arm, the inspection camera and the infrared sensor are all electrically connected to a controller. The end effector of the robotic arm is a modular structure, and the gripper module, the cleaning brush head module and the detection probe module can be quickly replaced. Each joint of the robotic arm is made of a flexible material, and a pressure sensor is arranged at the joint.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: The adjustment mechanism includes a linkage rod, a rotating seat, a movable part, a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a threaded rod, a slide rail, a transmission plate and an inspection platform. A slide rail is arranged on one side of the inspection body. An inspection platform is slidably connected to the slide rail. A threaded rod is movably connected to the inspection body on one side close to the inspection platform. A second bevel gear is arranged on the threaded rod. A transmission plate is arranged below the inspection platform. The inside of the transmission plate is in a threaded structure. The transmission plate and the threaded rod are in threaded cooperation with each other.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: the driving rod is movably connected to a linkage rod on the side away from the driving motor, the linkage rod is movably connected to a rotating rod on the side away from the driving rod, and a rotating seat is provided on the side of the patrol body close to the slide rail, the rotating rod is located on the rotating seat, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are meshed with each other.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. When the support angle of the equipment needs to be adjusted, the driving motor is started, and the output end of the driving motor drives the driving rod to rotate, and the rotating disk is driven to rotate during the rotation of the driving rod. Since one end of the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod are respectively movably connected to the fixed rods on both sides, and the other end is movably connected to the rotating disk, the rotation of the rotating disk will push the fixed rod to move through the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod. The fixed rod is fixedly connected to the rotating frame, and the rotating frame is movably connected to the mounting frame through the rotating shaft. Therefore, the movement of the fixed rod will cause the rotating frame to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby changing the angle of the rotating frame away from the support plate on one side of the mounting frame, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support angle of the patrol body to adapt to different working scenes and detection requirements; 2. The end effector of the robot arm is designed as a modular structure, equipped with a quick-plug interface and an automatic locking and unlocking mechanism. When the tool module needs to be replaced, the operator aligns the new module with the interface. After the automatic detection device at the interface recognizes that the module is approaching, the unlocking mechanism automatically releases the lock state of the original module, and the new module is inserted into the interface. After being inserted in place, the automatic locking mechanism quickly locks the new module within seconds to ensure a firm connection and meet the strength requirement of not falling off when subjected to a lateral pull of 50N. When removing the module, the operator presses the unlocking button, and the unlocking signal is transmitted to the unlocking mechanism. The mechanism unlocks the module within seconds, and the module automatically pops up, which allows for convenient and quick switching of different functional modules to adapt to a variety of patrol and inspection tasks, such as grabbing small equipment parts for inspection, cleaning dust on the surface of power equipment for infrared detection, and using detection probes to conduct in-depth inspections of the inside of the equipment; 3. When the driving motor operates to drive the driving rod to rotate, one end of the driving rod away from the driving motor is movably connected to the linkage rod. The rotation of the driving rod will cause the linkage rod to rotate. The swing of the linkage rod prompts the rotating rod to rotate around the rotating seat. The rotation of the first bevel gear will drive the second bevel gear to rotate. The second bevel gear is fixed on the threaded rod. Therefore, the rotation of the second bevel gear will drive the threaded rod to rotate synchronously. A transmission plate is arranged below the inspection platform. The inside of the transmission plate is in a threaded structure and is in threaded cooperation with the threaded rod. When the threaded rod rotates, according to the principle of screw drive, the transmission plate will move along the axis direction of the threaded rod, driving the inspection platform to move up and down on the slide rail, realizing the adjustment of the height of the inspection platform, ensuring that the inspection camera and the infrared sensor installed on the inspection platform are in the best detection positions to meet the needs of detecting power supply and use equipment at different heights.

Detailed Implementation Modes
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Embodiment 1
[0020] Refer to Figures 1-4 , this embodiment provides an infrared intelligent inspection device for power supply and consumption, including an inspection body 1, moving wheels 2, a support mechanism 3 and an adjustment mechanism 4. Moving wheels 2 are movably connected to the four corners of the lower part of the inspection body 1, and a support mechanism 3 is arranged on the upper side of the inspection body 1. The support mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301 and a support plate 308. The support mechanism 3 supports and fixes the inspection body 1 through the support plate 308. An adjustment mechanism 4 with screw drive is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 301 of the support mechanism 3 on the inspection body 1. The adjustment mechanism 4 includes an inspection platform 409. An inspection camera 6 is placed on the inspection platform 409, and an infrared sensor 7 is embedded and installed on one side of the inspection body 1 close to the inspection platform 409; In this embodiment, specifically, the support mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a rotating shaft 302, a rotating frame 303, a fixed rod 304, a first transmission rod 305, a driving motor 306, a second transmission rod 307, a support plate 308, a protective plate 309, a driving rod 310 and a rotating disk 311. The mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inspection body 1. Rotating shafts 302 are symmetrically embedded on both sides of the mounting frame 301. The mounting frame 301 is movably connected to the rotating frame 303 through the rotating shafts 302. A fixed rod 304 is fixedly connected between the rotating frames 303. A plurality of support plates 308 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the rotating frame 303 away from the mounting frame 301. A protective plate 309 is arranged on one side of the rotating frame 303 close to the support plate 308; The protective plate 309 is a deployable structure, made of a shape memory alloy material as a frame, with a flexible protective material covering the surface. The protective plate 309 cooperates with the inspection body 1; A driving motor 306 is arranged on one side of the mounting frame 301. The output end of the driving motor 306 is fixedly connected to a driving rod 310. A rotating disk 311 is arranged between the driving rod 310 and the mounting frame 301. The first transmission rod 305 and the second transmission rod 307 are respectively movably connected to the two fixed rods 304. The sides of the first transmission rod 305 and the second transmission rod 307 away from the fixed rods 304 are movably connected to the rotating disk 311; A robotic arm 5 is installed on the upper side of the mounting frame 301, and the robotic arm 5, the patrol camera 6 and the infrared sensor 7 are all electrically connected to the controller. The end effector of the robotic arm 5 is a modular structure, and the gripper module, the cleaning brush head module and the detection probe module can be quickly replaced. The joints of the robotic arm 5 are made of flexible materials, and pressure sensors are arranged at the joints. When the support angle of the equipment needs to be adjusted, the drive motor 306 is started, and the output end of the drive motor 306 drives the drive rod 310 to rotate. During the rotation of the drive rod 310, the rotating disk 311 is driven to rotate together. Since one end of the first transmission rod 305 and the second transmission rod 307 are respectively movably connected to the fixed rods 304 on both sides, and the other end is movably connected to the rotating disk 311, the rotation of the rotating disk 311 will push the fixed rod 304 to move through the first transmission rod 305 and the second transmission rod 307. The fixed rod 304 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 303, and the rotating frame 303 is movably connected to the mounting frame 301 through the rotating shaft 302. Therefore, the movement of the fixed rod 304 will cause the rotating frame 303 to rotate around the rotating shaft 302, thereby changing the angle of the rotating frame 303 away from the support plate 308 on one side of the mounting frame 301, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support angle of the patrol body 1 to adapt to different working scenes and detection requirements; The protective plate 309 is made of a memory alloy frame and covered with a flexible protective material. Under normal conditions, the protective plate 309 maintains a certain shape to provide basic protection for the side of the patrol body 1, effectively preventing foreign objects from impacting the device and protecting the electronic components inside the device. The end effector of robot arm 5 is designed as a modular structure, equipped with a quick plug-in interface and an automatic locking and unlocking mechanism. When the tool module needs to be replaced, the operator aligns the new module with the interface. After the automatic detection device at the interface recognizes that the module is approaching, the unlocking mechanism automatically releases the lock state of the original module, and the new module is inserted into the interface. After being inserted into place, the automatic locking mechanism quickly locks the new module within 1 second to ensure a firm connection and meet the strength requirement of not falling off when subjected to a lateral tension of 50N. When removing the module, the operator presses the unlocking button, and the unlocking signal is transmitted to the unlocking mechanism. The mechanism releases the module lock within 0.5 seconds, and the module automatically pops up, so that different functional modules can be switched quickly and conveniently to adapt to a variety of patrol and inspection tasks, grab small equipment components for inspection, clean the dust on the surface of power equipment for infrared detection, and use detection probes to conduct in-depth inspections of the inside of the equipment.

The rotation of the driving rod 310 will cause the linkage rod 401 to rotate. The swing of the linkage rod 401 causes the rotating rod 410 to rotate around the rotating seat 402. The rotation of the first bevel gear 404 will drive the second bevel gear 405 to rotate. The second bevel gear 405 is fixed on the threaded rod 406. Therefore, the rotation of the second bevel gear 405 will drive the threaded rod 406 to rotate synchronously. A transmission plate 408 is provided below the inspection platform 409. The inside of the transmission plate 408 is in a threaded structure and is in threaded cooperation with the threaded rod 406.
