[0025] To better achieve the purpose of the present invention, the present invention also provides a usage method of an easily deployable settlement monitoring device, including the following steps:

[0026] Step 1: The driving motor works to control the driving wheel to rotate and drive the vehicle body to move. When the driving wheel on one side of the mounting support plate moves onto an obstacle, the mounting support plate will rotate to drive the driving wheel to fit with the obstacle, and drive the mounting support plate on the other side to rotate in the opposite direction through the separable obstacle-crossing mechanism, so that the driving wheel on the other side remains in contact with the ground.

[0028] Step 3: The flipping material taking assembly operates to drive the moving settlement observation block to rotate, so that the installation part of the moving settlement observation block faces the outer housing of the transformer. Subsequently, the extension assembly operates to drive the moving settlement observation block to move towards the outer housing of the transformer until the installation part of the moving settlement observation block adsorbs on one side housing in the length direction of the transformer; Measure the height difference between the moving settlement observation block and the permanent horizontal observation point established inside the substation with a rangefinder and record it;

[0029] Step 4: The vehicle body continues to run to the other side in the length direction of the transformer housing and both sides in the width direction of the transformer housing, and repeats the above operations to sequentially adsorb the remaining three moving settlement observation blocks on the other side housing in the length direction of the transformer and the housing on both sides in the width direction of the transformer, and respectively measure and record the height differences between the installation positions of the moving settlement observation blocks and the permanent horizontal observation points established inside the substation.

[0046] A plurality of mobile settlement observation blocks 9 are installed on the rotating and lifting component 84 and are evenly distributed at equal intervals in a circumferential array on the rotating and lifting component 84;

[0047] The left side position of the rotating and lifting component 84 is set as the picking and placing station; the upper end of the mobile settlement observation block 9 is the observation part, the lower end of the mobile settlement observation block 9 is the installation part, and the lower end of the mobile settlement observation block 9 is made of a magnetic material, so that the mobile settlement observation block 9 can be adsorbed on the outer shell of the transformer; a reset spring is arranged at the upper end of the mounting support plate 4, so that the device can be quickly reset after crossing an obstacle; the lower end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the mounting support plate 4, and the upper end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the vehicle body 1.

[0048] In the present invention, when the driving motor 3 operates to control the driving wheel 2 to rotate and drive the vehicle body 1 to move, when the driving wheel 2 on one side of the mounting support plate 4 moves onto an obstacle, the mounting support plate 4 will rotate to drive the driving wheel 2 to fit against the obstacle, and the split obstacle-crossing mechanism 7 drives the mounting support plate 4 on the other side to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the driving wheel 2 on the other side remains in contact with the ground.

And a plurality of first push cylinders 826 work simultaneously to push the inner scissors arms 8222 to rotate to the right. And the rotating support shafts 823 at the lower ends of the two inner scissors arms 8222 in the foremost set of scissors arms 822 move upward along the guide groove 825 on the installation connecting plate 827, so that the distance between the installation connecting plate 827 and the installation plate 821 gradually increases; until the moving settlement observation block 9 adheres to the transformer housing; after installing one moving settlement observation block 9, the rotating disk 841 rotates to drive the next moving settlement observation block 9 to move to the loading and unloading station, and the motor 812 works to drive the installation plate 821 to reset; the driving push cylinder 828 drives the installation connecting plate 827 to reset;

[0065] The self-leveling mechanism 5 includes a support arm 51, a first fixing ring 52, a second fixing ring 53, an installation column 54 and a counterweight 55. The support arm 51 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the vehicle body 1. The first fixing ring 52 is fixedly installed at the left end of the support arm 51. The front and rear ends of the second fixing ring 53 are hinged inside the first fixing ring 52. The left and right ends of the installation column 54 are hinged inside the second fixing ring 53. A counterweight 55 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the installation column 54. A rangefinder 6 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the installation column 54; wherein the weight of the counterweight 55 is greater than the weight of the installation column 54;

[0066] In the present invention, by setting the counterweight 55, the center of gravity of the installation column 54 faces downward, so that the installation column 54 has a tendency to maintain a vertical state. And the first fixing ring 52 and the second fixing ring 53 enable the installation column 54 to rotate freely in the horizontal and vertical directions. Furthermore, the installation column 54 has two degrees of freedom of rotation in two mutually perpendicular directions on the horizontal plane, and cooperates with the counterweight 55 to make the installation column 54 always face downward, so that the rangefinder 6 always maintains a horizontal state.

[0067] The split obstacle-crossing mechanism 7 includes a rotating rod 71, a rotating bevel gear 72, an adjusting bevel gear 73, and a fixing plate 74. A plurality of fixing plates 74 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the vehicle body 1. The adjusting bevel gear 73 is rotatably installed at the left end of the right fixing plate 74, and the left end of the adjusting bevel gear 73 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 71. The other end of the rotating rod 71 at the left end of the adjusting bevel gear 73 is rotatably connected to the right end of the left fixing plate 74. The rotating bevel gears 72 are symmetrically and rotatably installed at one end of the front and rear fixing plates 74 close to each other, and the remote ends of the two rotating bevel gears 72 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of a rotating rod 71. The other end of the rotating rod 71 connected to the rotating bevel gear 72 passes through the vehicle body 1 and is fixedly connected to the mounting support plate 4. The rotating bevel gears 72 on the front and rear sides are both meshed with the adjusting bevel gear 73.

[0068] In the present invention, when the driving wheel 2 on the mounting support plate 4 at the upper left of the front side moves to the upper end of an obstacle, it will drive the mounting support plate 4 at the upper left of the front side to rotate upward. Subsequently, the mounting support plate 4 at the upper left of the front side rotates to drive the rotating rod 71 at the upper left of the front side to rotate. The rotating bevel gear 72 at the front side rotates to drive the adjusting bevel gear 73 to rotate. The adjusting bevel gear 73 rotates to drive the rotating bevel gear 72 at the rear side to rotate. At this time, the rotating direction of the rotating bevel gear 72 at the rear side is opposite to that of the rotating bevel gear 72 at the front side. The rotating bevel gear 72 at the rear side rotates to drive the rotating rod 71 at the rear side to rotate, so that the mounting support plate 4 at the rear side rotates downward, making the driving wheel 2 at the rear side in contact with the ground. Similarly, when encountering a staggered and undulating road condition, through the cooperation of the rotating bevel gear 72 and the adjusting bevel gear 73, the device remains in contact with the ground during operation, ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0069] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, as Figures 1-7 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for using an easily deployable settlement monitoring device includes the following steps:

[0070] Step 1: The driving motor 3 works to control the driving wheel 2 to rotate and drive the vehicle body 1 to move. When the driving wheel 2 on one mounting support plate 4 moves onto an obstacle, the mounting support plate 4 will rotate to drive the driving wheel 2 to fit with the obstacle, and through the split obstacle-crossing mechanism 7, the mounting support plate 4 on the other side is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the driving wheel 2 on the other side remains in contact with the ground. During the operation of the vehicle body 1, through the self-leveling mechanism 5, the position of the distance measuring instrument 6 is always in a horizontal state.

[0071] Step 2: When the vehicle body 1 moves to a position on one side in the length direction of the transformer housing, the rotary lifting assembly 84 operates to lift the moving settlement observation block 9 at the picking and placing station. At this time, the flipping material picking assembly 83 fixes the lifted moving settlement observation block 9. Subsequently, the rotary lifting assembly 84 rotates to drive the next moving settlement observation block 9 to rotate to the picking and placing station; the rotating assembly 81 operates to drive the extending assembly 82 to rotate, so that the orientation of the extending assembly 82 is aligned with the outer housing of the transformer.

[0072] Step 3: The flipping material picking assembly 83 operates to drive the moving settlement observation block 9 to rotate, so that the installation part of the moving settlement observation block 9 faces the outer housing of the transformer. Subsequently, the extending assembly 82 operates to drive the moving settlement observation block 9 to move towards the outer housing of the transformer until the installation part of the moving settlement observation block 9 adsorbs on the housing on one side in the length direction of the transformer; the height difference between the moving settlement observation block 9 and the permanent horizontal observation point established inside the substation is measured by the rangefinder 6 and recorded.

[0073] Step 4: The vehicle body 1 continues to run to the other side in the length direction of the transformer housing and both sides in the width direction of the transformer housing, and repeats the above operations to successively adsorb the remaining three moving settlement observation blocks 9 on the housing on the other side in the length direction of the transformer and the housings on both sides in the width direction of the transformer, and respectively measure and record the height differences between the installation positions of the moving settlement observation blocks 9 and the permanent horizontal observation points established inside the substation.

[0074] Finally, it should be noted that the technical solution of the present invention is only illustrated in combination with the above embodiments and is not limited thereby. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that those skilled in the art can modify the specific implementation manners of the present invention or make equivalent replacements, but these modifications or changes are all within the scope of protection of the claims pending for approval.
