Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nuclear power safety technology, and in particular to an ink screen display device with an inspection function for nuclear power safety. Background Art

[0002] Nuclear power safety is one of the most important areas in the power industry, encompassing radiation monitoring, equipment status monitoring, emergency response, and other aspects. Traditional nuclear power safety monitoring systems primarily rely on wired sensor networks and central control rooms, but this approach suffers from complex wiring, high maintenance costs, and limited flexibility. With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), wireless sensor networks and remote monitoring technologies are increasingly being applied to nuclear power safety monitoring, enabling real-time monitoring and early warning of environmental parameters and equipment status at nuclear power facilities. Automated inspection technologies utilize robots, drones, or handheld inspection devices to conduct regular or irregular inspections of nuclear power facilities based on pre-set inspection routes and checkpoints. This technology reduces the labor intensity of manual inspections and improves their accuracy and efficiency. Automated inspections also record inspection data in real time, providing strong support for subsequent safety assessments and maintenance planning. Due to the complex environment and high safety requirements for electronic equipment within nuclear power facilities, traditional LCD screens suffer from high power consumption, fragility, and susceptibility to interference. As a low-power, high-contrast display technology, ink screen technology can clearly display information without backlight and has extremely low power consumption, making it very suitable for displaying inspection information for a long time in nuclear power facilities. In addition, the ink screen is also impact-resistant and scratch-resistant, and can adapt to the harsh working environment of nuclear power facilities. Internet of Things communication technology is one of the key technologies for realizing nuclear power safety monitoring and automated inspections. Through wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRa, and NB-IoT, sensor data, inspection results and other information can be transmitted to the background management system in real time to realize centralized data processing and analysis. For this reason, this application now proposes an ink screen display device with inspection function for nuclear power safety. Summary of the Invention
