Specific implementation mode

[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 1-6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent electricity meter remote monitoring device, including an electricity meter cabinet 2. A plurality of intelligent electricity meter main bodies 1 are installed on the rear inner wall of the electricity meter cabinet 2. Two transmission racks 4 are fixedly connected inside the electricity meter cabinet 2. The two transmission racks 4 are drivingly connected to the same longitudinal transmission assembly 5. Both ends of the longitudinal transmission assembly 5 are provided with sliding frames 501; a transmission gear 502 is rotatably connected inside each sliding frame 501. A transmission rod 503 is fixedly connected between the two transmission gears 502. Two sliding rods 504 are fixedly connected between the two sliding frames 501. A lateral transmission assembly 6 is rollingly connected to the upper side walls of the two sliding rods 504. A camera module 602 is installed on the lower side wall of the lateral transmission assembly 6. Through the cooperation of the longitudinal transmission assembly 5 and the lateral transmission assembly 6, the camera module 602 can be driven to move precisely longitudinally and laterally in the electricity meter cabinet 2, realizing the comprehensive scanning and monitoring of multiple intelligent electricity meter main bodies 1, ensuring clear images and accurate data of each electricity meter are obtained, and improving the coverage rate and accuracy of monitoring.

[0030] A sealing door 3 is rotatably connected to the front side wall of the electricity meter cabinet 2. An observation window 301 is fixedly connected inside the sealing door 3. A handle 302 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the sealing door 3. A control box 202 and a backup power supply 203 are installed inside the electricity meter cabinet 2. The sealing door 3 is used to protect the internal devices of the electricity meter cabinet 2. The observation window 301 is convenient for observing the internal situation of the electricity meter cabinet 2. The control box 202 is internally provided with a microprocessor, a remote control system, a communication system, and a data acquisition and processing system. The microprocessor regularly reads parameters such as current and voltage, and calculates the real-time electricity consumption. After preliminary processing, these data will be packaged into data packets in a standard format. The remote control system is used to receive control signals transmitted from the outside. The communication system is used to transmit monitoring data and images to the receiving end. The data acquisition and processing system is used to process the collected information and images.

[0031] The sliding frame 501 is slidably connected to the outer side wall of the transmission rack 4 to improve the sliding stability of the sliding frame 501. The transmission rod 503 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 501 to improve the rotational stability of the transmission rod 503. Each transmission gear 502 meshes with one transmission rack 4. When the transmission gear 502 rotates, it can drive the sliding frame 501 to move along the transmission rack 4. This stable driving connection ensures the precise movement of the longitudinal transmission assembly 5 and provides a reliable guarantee for the longitudinal positioning of the camera module 602.

[0032] Inside one side of the sliding frame 501, a first driving motor 505 is installed. The output end of the first driving motor 505 is fixedly connected to a first driving worm 5051. On the outer sidewall of the transmission rod 503, a first driving worm gear 5031 is fixedly connected. The first driving worm 5051 meshes with the first driving worm gear 5031. The first driving motor 505 can drive the first driving worm gear 5031 to rotate through the first driving worm 5051, and thus drive the transmission gear 502 to rotate through the transmission rod 503. This worm and worm gear transmission method has self-locking property, which can prevent the transmission components from sliding in the non-driven state, improving the stability and safety of the system.

[0033] On the rear inner wall of the electricity meter cabinet 2, several photoelectric sensors 201 are installed. Each photoelectric sensor 201 is aligned with a row of intelligent electricity meter bodies 1. The photoelectric sensor 201 can detect whether there is a sliding frame 501 passing by in the front side, so that the camera module 602 is aligned with a row of intelligent electricity meter bodies 1. When the sliding frame 501 moves to the designated position, the photoelectric sensor 201 detects a signal change and triggers the camera module 602 to take pictures or record videos, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of the monitoring.

[0034] On the outer sidewall of the transmission rod 503, several reflective blocks 508 are installed. On the upper sidewall of the transverse transmission assembly 6, infrared sensors are installed. Each infrared sensor is aligned with a column of intelligent electricity meter bodies 1. The infrared sensors cooperate with the reflective blocks 508. Thus, it can be judged whether there is a transverse transmission assembly 6 aligned with the rear side of the transmission rod 503, and further make the camera module 602 aligned with a column of intelligent electricity meter bodies 1. This position detection mechanism further improves the positioning accuracy of the camera module 602, ensuring the accurate monitoring of each electricity meter.

[0035] Inside the transverse transmission assembly 6, two transmission shafts 603 are rotatably connected. At the front end and the rear end of each transmission shaft 603, a transmission wheel 6032 is fixedly connected. In the middle of each transmission shaft 603, a second driving worm gear 6031 is fixedly connected. Inside the transverse transmission assembly 6, two second driving motors 601 are installed. The output end of each second driving motor 601 is fixedly connected to a second driving worm 6011. Each second driving worm 6011 meshes with a second driving worm gear 6031. Each transmission wheel 6032 is in rolling connection with a sliding rod 504. The second driving motor 601 can drive the second driving worm gear 6031 to transmit through the second driving worm 6011, and thus drive the transmission wheel 6032 to rotate through the transmission shaft 603, and further make the transverse transmission assembly 6 slide on the upper side of the sliding rod 504. This transmission design realizes the precise transverse movement of the camera module 602. Cooperating with the longitudinal transmission assembly 5, it completes the all-round monitoring of the electricity meters.

[0036] Inside one side of the sliding frame 501, a first microswitch 506 is installed. The first microswitch 506 cooperates with the lower inner wall of the meter cabinet 2. When the first microswitch 506 contacts the lower inner wall of the meter cabinet 2, it will emit an electrical signal, thereby determining the longitudinal initial position of the lateral transmission assembly 6. On the inner side wall of one side of the sliding frame 501, a support side plate 5071 is installed. On the side wall of the support side plate 5071, a second microswitch 507 is installed. The second microswitch 507 cooperates with the lateral transmission assembly 6. When the second microswitch 507 contacts the lateral transmission assembly 6, it will emit an electrical signal, thereby determining the lateral initial position of the lateral transmission assembly 6. The setting of the microswitch facilitates the initialization and calibration of the system and ensures the precise control of the transmission assembly.

[0037] Embodiment Two:

[0038] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment One is that: on the basis of the camera module 602, an ambient light sensor is added to monitor the light intensity inside the meter cabinet in real time. When the ambient light is insufficient, the system automatically controls the auxiliary lighting lamp installed inside the meter cabinet to turn on, ensuring that the camera module 602 can obtain clear images and accurately monitor the operation status of the meter even in low-light conditions.

[0039] The software algorithm inside the control box 202 is further optimized, and artificial intelligence image recognition technology is introduced. This technology can automatically identify the data and abnormal situations displayed on the meter, such as incorrect number recognition, abnormal meter surface, etc., and send alarm information to the remote monitoring center in a timely manner, assisting power workers to quickly judge and handle problems, and improving the intelligent level of monitoring and the fault response speed.

[0040] The materials and structures of the transmission components are improved. Higher-precision worm and worm gear transmission components are adopted, and self-lubricating bearings are added at key rotating parts. These improvements effectively reduce the friction resistance and noise during the transmission process, improve the smoothness and service life of the transmission, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the monitoring device.

[0041] Drain holes and moisture-proof devices are provided at the bottom of the meter cabinet 2. The drain holes are used to drain the moisture that may enter the meter cabinet, and the moisture-proof device uses the principle of desiccant or dehumidifier to keep the environment inside the cabinet dry, prevent electrical failures caused by moisture, and enhance the adaptability of the entire monitoring device in harsh environments.
