[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring devices, and particularly to an Internet of Things-based visualization and monitoring device for the capital cost of offshore wind power. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of society, the Internet of Things technology is integrating into various fields at an unprecedented rate, greatly changing people's production and living styles. In the energy field, the combination of the Internet of Things and offshore wind power generation equipment has shown great potential. As a clean and sustainable energy acquisition method, offshore wind power generation equipment can make full use of the rich wind energy resources in the ocean, convert them into electric energy, provide stable power supply for coastal areas and even wider regions, effectively alleviate the energy shortage problem, and promote the transformation of the energy structure towards green and low-carbon directions.

[0003] However, at present, offshore wind power generation equipment faces a severe problem during actual operation, that is, the lack of reliable monitoring devices. Due to the complex and changeable marine environment, wind power generation equipment is long-term in harsh conditions such as high humidity, strong corrosion, and wave impact. The equipment is extremely prone to failure. Without reliable monitoring devices, it is difficult for staff to detect equipment abnormalities in a timely manner, resulting in an extended duration of failures. This will not only cause losses in power generation, but may also significantly increase maintenance costs due to severe equipment damage. In addition, the lack of understanding of the equipment operation status makes it lack accurate basis in aspects such as equipment maintenance plan formulation and spare parts procurement, easily causing waste or shortage of funds, and it is difficult to effectively control the capital cost of the entire offshore wind power project, greatly affecting the economic benefits and sustainable development of the project.

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] Embodiment 1:

[0029] As Figure 1-8As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an Internet of Things-based visualization and monitoring device for the capital cost of offshore wind power, including a support platform 1. A support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 1. An installation block 3 is installed at the top of the support rod 2. The installation block 3 is used to install a camera 5 and an adjustment component 6. A lifting component 4 is installed between the support rod 2 and the installation block 3. The lifting component 4 realizes the lifting function of the camera 5, enabling the camera 5 to adjust its height according to actual needs and obtain monitoring images at different heights. A support shaft is movably installed inside the installation block 3, and the camera 5 is fixedly installed on the support shaft. The camera 5 is used to capture the operating state of the offshore wind power generation equipment and transmit the image information back to the monitoring center, providing intuitive data on the equipment operation for the staff. An adjustment component 6 is installed between the installation block 3 and the camera 5. The adjustment component 6 realizes the angle adjustment of the camera 5, enabling the camera 5 to flexibly align with various parts of the equipment and improving the accuracy of monitoring. Two driving components 7 are fixedly installed inside the support platform 1. The driving components 7 provide power for the movement of the entire device on the sea surface, enabling the device to flexibly move to different positions for monitoring. The lifting component 4 includes a first driving motor 401, a lifting rod 402, and a lead screw 403. The first driving motor 401 is fixedly installed inside the support platform 1. The first driving motor 401 provides power for the rotation of the lead screw 403, thereby realizing the lifting movement of the lifting rod 402. The lifting rod 402 is slidably installed inside the first driving motor 401. The lifting rod 402 moves up and down under the drive of the lead screw 403, and then drives the camera 5 to lift. The lead screw 403 is threadedly installed inside the lifting rod 402. The bottom of the lead screw 403 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first driving motor 401. The lead screw 403 converts the rotational movement of the first driving motor 401 into the linear movement of the lifting rod 402, realizing the lifting function of the camera 5.

[0030] The lifting component 4 further includes a chute 404 and a slider 405. There are two chutes 404, and the two chutes 404 are opened on the inner wall of the support rod 2. The chute 404 provides a sliding track for the slider 405, restricting the rotation of the lifting rod 402 and ensuring that the lifting rod 402 can only move up and down along the axial direction of the lead screw 403. There are two sliders 405, and the two sliders 405 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting rod 402. The sliders 405 are located inside the chute 404 and slide. The cooperation between the slider 405 and the chute 404 makes the lifting movement of the lifting rod 402 smoother, ensuring the stability of the camera 5 during the lifting process.

[0031] The adjustment component 6 includes a mounting bracket 601, a second drive motor 602, a first gear 603 and a second gear 604. The mounting bracket 601 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting rod 402. The second drive motor 602 is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 601. The second drive motor 602 provides power for the rotation of the first gear 603, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the camera 5. The first gear 603 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive motor 602. The first gear 603 rotates driven by the second drive motor 602, meshes with the second gear 604, and transmits the power to the second gear 604. The second gear 604 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the camera 5. The first gear 603 and the second gear 604 mesh with each other. The meshing transmission between the first gear 603 and the second gear 604 realizes the angle adjustment of the camera 5, enabling the camera 5 to adjust the shooting angle as needed.

[0032] The drive component 7 includes a protective cover 701, a rotating shaft 702, a third drive motor 703, a pulley 704, a drive belt 705 and a blade 706. There are two protective covers 701. The two protective covers 701 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the bottom of the support platform 1. The protective cover 701 plays a protective role for components such as the rotating shaft 702 and the blade 706, preventing seawater corrosion and debris entanglement, and ensuring the normal operation of the drive component 7. The rotating shaft 702 is movably installed inside the protective cover 701. The rotating shaft 702 rotates inside the protective cover 701, driving the blade 706 to rotate, generating the power to push the device to move. There are two third drive motors 703. The third drive motors 703 are fixedly installed inside the support platform 1. The third drive motors 703 provide power for the rotation of the pulley 704, thereby driving the rotating shaft 702 and the blade 706 to rotate. The pulley 704 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third drive motor 703. The pulley 704 rotates driven by the third drive motor 703, and transmits the power to the rotating shaft 702 through the drive belt 705. A belt groove is provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 702. The drive belt 705 is fixedly installed between the pulley 704 and the belt groove. The drive belt 705 transmits the power of the pulley 704 to the rotating shaft 702, realizing the power transmission and driving the blade 706 to rotate. The blade 706 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 702. The blade 706 rotates in the water driven by the rotating shaft 702, generating a thrust to push the device to move on the sea surface.

[0033] The front end of the protective cover 701 is provided with a water inlet groove 707, and the number of the water inlet grooves 707 is multiple. The rear end of the protective cover 701 is provided with a water drainage groove 708, and the number of the water drainage grooves 708 is multiple. The settings of the water inlet groove 707 and the water drainage groove 708 enable seawater to flow inside the protective cover 701, reduce the water pressure inside the protective cover 701, and at the same time take away the heat generated by components such as the blade 706, ensuring the normal operation of the drive component 7.

[0034] Inside the support platform 1, two support ear plates 8 are fixedly installed. A rope winding shaft 9 is movably installed between the two support ear plates 8. A rope 10 is wound around the outer wall of the rope winding shaft 9. A fourth driving motor 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one of the support ear plates 8. One end of the rope winding shaft 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the fourth driving motor 11. An anchor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rope 10. The fourth driving motor 11 drives the rope winding shaft 9 to rotate, and the lifting of the anchor 12 is controlled by taking in and paying out the rope 10, so as to fix and move the device, and it is convenient to fix the device at a specific position for monitoring when needed.

[0035] Air bags 13 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the support platform 1. There are two air bags 13 fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the support platform 1 in sequence. The air bags 13 increase the buoyancy of the device on the sea surface, improve the stability of the device, and prevent the device from sinking due to reasons such as wind and waves.

[0036] A control module 14 is fixedly installed inside the support platform 1. The control module 14 centrally controls each component of the entire device, receives and processes the image information from the camera 5, and controls the operation of each driving motor according to the instructions of the staff, so as to realize the automatic monitoring function of the device.

[0037] Working principle

[0038] First, according to the monitoring task requirements, the staff starts the fourth driving motor 11 through the control module 14. The fourth driving motor 11 drives the rope winding shaft 9 to rotate, takes in or pays out the rope 10, so as to control the lifting of the anchor 12. When the anchor 12 is lowered and fixed on the seabed, the position of the device on the sea surface is fixed, which is convenient for stable monitoring operations. If it is necessary to move the device to other positions to monitor different offshore wind power generation equipment, start the fourth driving motor 11 again to retract the anchor 12.

[0039] Subsequently, start the third driving motor 703 in the driving assembly 7. The output end of the third driving motor 703 drives the pulley 704 to rotate. The pulley 704 cooperates with the pulley groove on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 702 through the driving belt 705 to drive the rotating shaft 702 to rotate. The blades 706 installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 702 then rotate in the water to generate thrust, and push the support platform 1 and the entire device to move on the sea surface to the target position.

[0040] After the device moves to the appropriate position, according to the height of the wind power generation equipment and the key monitoring points, the staff starts the first driving motor 401 through the control module 14. The output end of the first driving motor 401 drives the lead screw 403 to rotate. Since the lead screw 403 is threadedly connected to the lifting rod 402, and the slider 405 slides in the chute 404 to limit the rotation of the lifting rod 402, the lifting rod 402 moves up and down along the axial direction of the lead screw 403, thereby driving the mounting block 3 and the camera 5 mounted thereon to rise or fall to the appropriate height.

[0041] Finally, in order to accurately capture the key parts of the wind power generation equipment, the staff starts the second driving motor 602 in the adjusting assembly 6 through the control module 14. The output end of the second driving motor 602 drives the first gear 603 to rotate. The first gear 603 meshes with the second gear 604, causing the camera 5 fixed on the second gear 604 to rotate and adjust to the appropriate shooting angle.

[0042] At this time, the camera 5 starts to capture the operating state of the offshore wind power generation equipment and transmits the captured image information back to the monitoring center through the Internet of Things. The staff in the monitoring center can timely discover potential problems of the equipment, such as component wear, abnormal vibration, etc., so as to reasonably arrange the equipment maintenance plan, accurately purchase spare parts, effectively control the capital cost of the offshore wind power project, and improve the economic benefits and sustainable development ability of the project.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
