Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention belong to the technical field of monitors, and particularly relate to a rotary surface subsidence monitor. Background Art

[0002] In coal mine geology, slope stability, and excavation engineering, surface subsidence is a critical indicator that requires close attention. Surface subsidence can be caused by extrusion of surrounding rock due to excavation, loosening of surrounding rock due to collapse, consolidation of gaps between surrounding rock and support, or between surrounding rock and lining, due to a drop in groundwater levels, and sinking of support in weak surrounding rock. Surface subsidence is a dangerous signal, so surface subsidence monitoring equipment is necessary to detect it.

[0003] At present, existing surface subsidence monitoring equipment generally consists of a GNSS antenna for receiving global navigation satellite system signals, a solar panel that provides continuous power supply to the equipment and ensures long-term stable operation, a main control chassis containing a main control transmission module and responsible for data processing and transmission, and a mounting bracket for fixing and supporting the entire monitoring station. However, during use, since the solar panels are usually fixed, the equipment may not always receive sufficient sunlight at different times and seasons, which limits the solar panel's maximum efficiency in collecting solar energy, and thus easily affects the long-term stable operation of the monitoring equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present invention aim to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a rotary surface settlement monitor.

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention provides a rotary surface subsidence monitor, comprising a mounting bracket, an antenna, a main control box, a solar panel, and a protective cover. The antenna is mounted on the top of the mounting bracket, and a protective cover is provided on the top of the mounting bracket outside the antenna. Solar panels are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket, and the main control box is provided on one side of the mounting bracket below the solar panel. A light sensor is mounted on the top of the solar panel.

[0006] A rotating mechanism is provided on the outside of the mounting bracket, and the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor, a gear, a ring gear, a limit plate and a limit groove. The ring gear is movably connected to the outer surface of the mounting bracket through the limit plate. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the ring gear, the limit plate and the solar cell panel, and the adjustment mechanism includes a mounting plate, a vertical plate and an electric push rod. The mounting plate is provided on both sides of the ring gear and the limit plate.

[0007] Optionally, a rotating motor is installed on one side of the interior of the mounting bracket, and an outer surface of an output end of the rotating motor is sleeved with a gear meshing with a gear ring.

[0008] Optionally, a limiting groove is provided on the outer surface of the mounting bracket, and the gear ring and the mounting bracket form a rotating structure through a limiting plate and the limiting groove.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting plate is configured as an annular structure, and two limiting plates and two limiting grooves are symmetrically provided about the center axis of the gear ring.

[0010] Optionally, a vertical plate is symmetrically provided on the top of the mounting plate, and a rotating structure is formed between the solar cell panel and the vertical plate via a hinge seat.

[0011] Optionally, an electric push rod is rotatably connected between the solar cell panel and the mounting plate via a hinged seat, and two electric push rods are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the mounting bracket.

[0012] Optionally, a fixed plate is provided on one side of the main control chassis, and a movable plate is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed plate through a hinge.

[0013] Optionally, a supporting plate is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate, and a bracket groove forming a snap-fit ​​structure with the supporting plate is opened on one side of the mounting bracket.

[0014] Optionally, a locking mechanism is provided inside the movable plate and the fixed plate, and the locking mechanism consists of a plug-in slot, a plug-in plate, a card slot, a card frame and a support spring. A plug-in plate is provided on the side of the fixed plate close to the movable plate, and a plug-in slot is provided inside the movable plate to form a locking structure with the plug-in plate.

[0015] Optionally, a card slot is symmetrically opened at one end of the plug board, a card frame is slidably connected inside the movable plate to form a card structure with the card slot, and a support spring forming an elastic structure is connected between the card frame and the movable plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Existing surface subsidence monitors typically have solar panels fixed in place, making it difficult for the equipment to always receive sufficient sunlight, limiting the solar panel's maximum solar energy collection efficiency. The present invention, by providing a rotating mechanism and a light sensor, allows the light sensor to accurately sense light intensity. Furthermore, because the ring gear is meshed with the gear, and the mounting plate and mounting bracket are slidably connected via a limit plate and a limit slot, when the rotating motor is operating, the output end of the rotating motor drives the gear, the ring gear, and the solar panel to rotate, ensuring that the solar panel can track and obtain sufficient sunlight at all times, thereby maximizing the utilization of solar energy resources.

[0018] 2. Existing surface subsidence monitors usually have the solar panels fixed in place, making it easy for the equipment to not always receive sufficient sunlight, limiting the maximum solar panel collection efficiency. The present invention is equipped with an adjustment mechanism and a light sensor, which allows the light sensor to accurately sense the light intensity. Moreover, since the solar panel and the vertical plate, as well as the electric push rod and the solar panel and the mounting plate are all rotatably connected through a hinge seat, during the operation and extension of the electric push rod, the solar panel deflects with the hinge seat at one end of the vertical plate as the axis, which further ensures that the solar panel can receive sunlight to the maximum extent, thereby maximizing the utilization of solar energy resources.

[0019] 3. The existing surface subsidence monitor realizes the installation of the main control chassis through a clamp, and the installation process is cumbersome and inconvenient, and manual lifting is required during installation, which consumes a lot of manpower. The present invention is provided with a movable plate, a fixed plate, a support plate, a bracket and a locking mechanism. After the fixed plate and the installation bracket are clamped through the support plate and the bracket, the movable plate can be flipped over so that the plug-in plate is inserted into the plug-in slot. At the same time, since the bracket and the movable plate are elastically connected by a supporting spring, and the side of the bracket close to the fixed plate is provided with a slope, the bracket is clamped into the slot, thereby realizing rapid installation of the main control chassis, saving time and effort. When maintenance is required, the bracket is pulled outward to separate it from the slot. After flipping the fixed plate in the opposite direction, the main control chassis can be moved to one side to complete the disassembly for maintenance.

[0020] To sum up, the rotary surface subsidence monitor of the embodiment of the present invention can automatically adjust the angle and direction of the solar panel according to the position of the sun through the cooperation of the rotating mechanism, the adjustment mechanism and the light sensor, so as to maximize the solar energy collection efficiency and ensure that sufficient sunlight can be obtained at different times and seasons, so as to continuously power the monitoring equipment and ensure the long-term stable operation of the monitoring equipment. At the same time, through the cooperation of the movable plate, the fixed plate, the support plate, the bracket and the locking mechanism, the main control chassis can be easily installed, disassembled and repaired, saving time and effort.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a rotary surface subsidence monitor includes a mounting bracket 1, an antenna 2, a main control box 3, a solar panel 4 and a protective cover 5. The antenna 2 is installed on the top of the mounting bracket 1, and the protective cover 5 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 1 outside the antenna 2. Solar panels 4 are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 1, and the main control box 3 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 1 below the solar panel 4.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 5 It can be seen that a light sensor 6 is installed on the top of the solar panel 4, and a rotating mechanism 7 is provided on the outside of the mounting bracket 1. The rotating mechanism 7 includes a rotating motor 701, a gear 702, a ring gear 703, a limiting plate 704 and a limiting groove 705. The ring gear 703 is movably connected to the outer surface of the mounting bracket 1 through the limiting plate 704. A rotating motor 701 is installed on one side inside the mounting bracket 1. The outer surface of the output end of the rotating motor 701 is provided with a gear 702 meshing with the ring gear 703. A limiting groove 705 is provided on the outer surface of the mounting bracket 1. The ring gear 703 and the mounting bracket 1 form a rotating structure through the limiting plate 704 and the limiting groove 705. The limiting plate 704 is set as an annular structure, and two limiting plates 704 and two limiting grooves 705 are symmetrically provided about the central axis of the ring gear 703.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 5It can be seen that the light intensity can be accurately sensed by the light sensor 6, and since the ring gear 703 is meshed with the gear 702, the mounting plate 801 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 1 through the limit plate 704 and the limit groove 705. When the rotating motor 701 is working, the output end of the rotating motor 701 drives the gear 702, the ring gear 703, and the solar panel 4 to rotate, so as to ensure that the solar panel 4 can track and obtain sufficient sunlight at any time, thereby maximizing the use of solar energy resources.

[0032] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that a fixed plate 11 is provided on one side of the main control chassis 3, and a movable plate 10 is connected to one side of the fixed plate 11 by a hinge. A support plate 12 is provided on the inner side of the fixed plate 11, and a bracket 13 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 1 to form a locking structure with the support plate 12. A locking mechanism 9 is provided inside the movable plate 10 and the fixed plate 11, and the locking mechanism 9 consists of a plug-in slot 901, a plug-in plate 902, a card slot 903, a card frame 904 and a support spring 905. A plug-in plate 902 is provided on the side of the fixed plate 11 close to the movable plate 10, and a plug-in slot 901 is provided inside the movable plate 10 to form a locking structure with the plug-in plate 902. A card slot 903 is symmetrically provided at one end of the plug-in plate 902. The interior of the movable plate 10 is slidably connected to a card frame 904 to form a locking structure with the card slot 903, and a support spring 905 forming an elastic structure is connected between the card frame 904 and the movable plate 10.

[0033] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that after the fixed plate 11 and the mounting bracket 1 are connected through the support plate 12 and the bracket 13, the movable plate 10 can be flipped over so that the plug-in plate 902 is inserted into the plug-in slot 901. At the same time, since the card frame 904 is elastically connected to the movable plate 10 through the support spring 905, and the card frame 904 is provided with a slope on the side close to the fixed plate 11, the card frame 904 is inserted into the card slot 903, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the main control chassis 3, saving time and effort. When maintenance is required, the card frame 904 is pulled outward to separate it from the card slot 903. After flipping the fixed plate 11 in the opposite direction, the main control chassis 3 can be moved to one side to complete the disassembly for maintenance.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 4It can be seen that an adjustment mechanism 8 is provided between the gear ring 703, the limit plate 704 and the solar panel 4. The adjustment mechanism 8 includes a mounting plate 801, a vertical plate 802 and an electric push rod 803. The mounting plate 801 is provided on both sides of the gear ring 703 and the limit plate 704. The vertical plate 802 is symmetrically provided on the top of the mounting plate 801. A rotating structure is formed between the solar panel 4 and the vertical plate 802 through a hinge seat. An electric push rod 803 is rotatably connected between the solar panel 4 and the mounting plate 801 through a hinge seat. Two electric push rods 803 are symmetrically provided about the central axis of the mounting bracket 1.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 4 It can be seen that the light intensity can be accurately sensed by the light sensor 6, and since the solar panel 4 and the vertical plate 802, as well as the electric push rod 803, the solar panel 4 and the mounting plate 801 are all rotatably connected via a hinged seat, when the electric push rod 803 is working and extending, the solar panel 4 deflects with the hinged seat at one end of the vertical plate 802 as the axis, which can further ensure that the solar panel 4 can receive sunlight to the maximum extent, thereby maximizing the utilization of solar energy resources.

[0036] Working principle: When using the rotary surface subsidence monitor, the signal of the global navigation satellite system is received through the antenna 2, and the main control box 3 is responsible for data processing and transmission. At the same time, the solar panel 4 provides a continuous power supply for the equipment and ensures long-term stable operation. In this process, the light intensity can be accurately sensed by the light sensor 6, and the working state of the rotating motor 701 and the electric push rod 803 can be controlled according to the change of light intensity. When the light intensity is insufficient, the light sensor 6 will trigger the rotating motor 701 to start, and the meshing connection between the gear 702 and the ring gear 703 will drive the solar panel 4 to rotate to track more sufficient sunlight. In addition, the electric push rod 803 will also deflect the solar panel 4 with the hinge seat at one end of the vertical plate 802 as the axis according to the instruction of the light sensor 6, further ensuring that the solar panel 4 can receive sunlight to the maximum extent, thereby maximizing the utilization of solar energy resources and providing continuous power support for the surface subsidence monitor. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
