[0032] A video switching controller 103, which is used to judge whether the visible light data and infrared data are normally displayed after the airborne pod system operates stably, and after confirming that both the visible light data and infrared data are normally displayed, control the output mode of the inspection video data by switching the video display channel;

[0033] A voice communication system 104, which is used to receive and transmit audio signals of the internal voice channel and the external voice channel of the crew, and switch the connection state of the internal voice channel and the external voice channel of the crew.

[0034] The emergency device for the helicopter portable workstation proposed in the embodiment of the present invention collects inspection video data through the optoelectronic sensing system, controls the output of the inspection video data by switching the video display channel, and sets up a voice system to control the audio signal transmission of the internal and external voice systems, effectively ensuring that the helicopter obtains information on the emergency area in an emergency scenario and improving the emergency response ability.

[0041] A decoder, which is used to decode the collected inspection video data;

[0042] A video distributor, which is used to copy the decoded inspection video data into multiple copies and send the multiple copies of the decoded inspection video data to different output ends respectively.

[0043] In one embodiment, the video distributor includes:

[0044] A video capture card, which is used to convert the images in the decoded inspection video data into a video stream and send the video stream to an external control unit;

[0045] A video encoder, which is used to convert the images in the decoded inspection video data into an IP video data stream and send the IP video data stream to an Internet platform.

[0046] In one embodiment, the video distributor is also used to:

[0047] Send the decoded inspection video data to the airborne pod system.

[0048] In one embodiment, it further includes:

[0049] An airborne satellite communication antenna in motion, which is used to receive and transmit satellite signals in the airborne environment of a helicopter and backhaul the inspection video data and audio signals.

[0050] Specifically, when implemented, the airborne station uses a 0.4-meter Ka-band airborne satellite communication antenna in motion (GA400-Ka). This airborne antenna integrates an internal power amplifier and an optimized airborne modulation and demodulation modem, meeting the high-speed backhaul requirements of helicopter video, audio, images, and data under rotor blockage. The weight of this satellite does not exceed 20 kg, and the size does not exceed 530 mm * 390 mm.

[0051] The pod system SE3X airborne gyro-stabilized multi-sensor optoelectronic observation system is adopted, abbreviated as the 3X pod. The 3X pod is a high-end airborne multi-sensor gyro-stabilized optoelectronic observation system developed for the special needs of power line inspection and with international advanced level. Figure 2Schematic diagram of the connection of the pod assembly provided in the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the optoelectronic observation system adopts advanced gyro-stabilization technology, integrates a cooled long-wave infrared thermal imager with data stream and a professional digital high-definition camera, and is equipped with a friendly user interface line inspection software, which can collect high-quality and clear inspection data stably in real time. It consists of a gyro-stabilized unit (GSU), a communication interface unit (CIU), and a handheld control unit (HCU). The GSU is installed outside the aircraft, and other parts such as microphones are installed inside the cabin.

[0052] To achieve the arbitrary switching between visible light and infrared videos, a customized video switching controller is developed; Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the gyro-stabilized unit provided in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 Another schematic diagram of the wiring of the video switching controller provided in the embodiment of the present invention; the wiring method of the video switching controller is as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, the TV / IR interface on the CIU panel is docked with the TV / IR interface on the video switching box with a cable; the power plug of P16-7 on the CIU panel is docked with the power plug of P16-2 on the video switching box with a cable. The TV / IR video on the video switching controller is connected to the SDI interface of the video transmitter through a cable.

[0053] In one embodiment, the voice communication system includes:

[0054] A voice distributor for controlling the switch of the wire controller;

[0055] A wire controller for switching the connection state between the internal voice channel and the external voice channel of the crew.

[0056] Specifically, the voice distributor has a total of 6 channels and can be used by 6 crew members at the same time.

[0057] The operation of the voice system equipment is as follows:

[0058] (1) Power on and off. Connect the power supply and press the circuit breaker. At this time, the indicator light comes on, and the distributor can work normally.

[0059] (2) Switching between external and internal call audio. The wire controller switch can respectively control the access or disconnection of the audio signal of the external call to the headset / helmet of each channel. When the corresponding channel accesses the external call, the microphone on the headset / helmet can only send voice to the external call. When it is necessary to use the helicopter intercom system to speak, it is necessary to use the switch on the wire controller to disconnect the external call audio. Regardless of the state of the switch, the headset / helmet can receive the voice information from the helicopter intercom system.

[0060] (3) Fault emergency function. When the voice distributor is not powered or fails, it will automatically disconnect the connection of the external call, making the distributor work in the internal call state. At this time, it is equivalent to the headset / helmet being directly connected to the internal call system of the helicopter.

[0061] In the technical solution of this application, the acquisition, transmission, storage, use, processing, etc. of data all comply with the relevant regulations of national laws and regulations.

[0062] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, some existing solutions in the industry such as certain software, components, models, etc. may be mentioned.
