Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle-mounted mobile road inspection equipment technology, specifically to a portable road inspection device integrated into the roof of a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Current vehicle-mounted road inspection systems are mostly fixed and modified from specialized vehicles. This design often results in poor portability: relying on specialized vehicles makes rapid deployment to ordinary vehicles impossible. Furthermore, they have low integration: modules (such as cameras, main unit, and power supply) are scattered, increasing maintenance difficulty. Moreover, they lack adaptability: they are only applicable to specific vehicle models and cannot flexibly adapt to different inspection needs.

[0003] In view of this, we propose an integrated, detachable, portable road inspection device that can be installed on the roof of a vehicle. This device achieves integration, portability, and ease of maintenance, while also effectively expanding its application scope. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a portable road inspection device integrated into the roof of a vehicle, which achieves integration, portability, and ease of maintenance, while also effectively expanding its scope of application.

[0005] This invention provides a portable road inspection device integrated into a vehicle roof, comprising: a fixing component including a fixing frame and suction cups, wherein the suction cups are mounted on the fixing frame at least once, and wherein the suction cups are detachably mounted on the vehicle roof; a stabilizing component including a gimbal, one end of which is mounted on the fixing frame; a mounting component including a sealing chamber mounted on the gimbal and located at the other end of the gimbal, and fixedly connected to the gimbal; and a functional component disposed in the sealing chamber of the mounting component; the functional component is used for road inspection; wherein the functional component includes a main control board, a camera, and a lithium battery; the camera is mounted in the sealing chamber, and one end extends outward; the main control board and the lithium battery are respectively mounted in the sealing chamber, wherein the lithium battery is electrically connected to the main control board and the camera, and the main control board is electrically connected to the camera.

[0006] Furthermore, the suction cup is provided in three locations, and the fixing frame is provided in three support frames, with the suction cup respectively mounted on the support frames. In practical applications, this design can effectively ensure the stability of the device and improve the support stability effect: it can be quickly installed and removed from the roof of the vehicle using suction cups, adapting to different vehicle models (police cars, engineering vehicles, etc.) without requiring complex modifications to the vehicle itself.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a rear panel; the rear panel is detachably mounted on the encapsulation compartment and fixedly connected by bolts. In practical applications, this design, along with the aforementioned encapsulation compartment, is made of aluminum alloy or composite materials to reduce weight and ensure vehicle driving stability. Simultaneously, the integrated design of the encapsulation compartment effectively facilitates maintenance and upkeep.

[0008] Furthermore, the imaging component includes a camera, and the functional components also include a hard drive. The rear panel of the cabin also has at least one data interface. One end of the camera is fixedly mounted on the rear panel, and the hard drive is also fixedly mounted on the rear panel, electrically connected to the camera. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is twofold: firstly, to reserve a data interface, i.e., a USB interface, for easy future upgrades; secondly, the camera can save captured real-time images to the hard drive, effectively facilitating subsequent on-site image comparison operations; and thirdly, to facilitate preventative maintenance decision support based on AI analysis.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a bottom support plate, which is installed inside the encapsulation compartment and located on the inner bottom surface; the main control board is mounted on the bottom support plate; and the main control board is electrically connected to the hard drive. In practical applications, this design facilitates the installation of the main control board and reduces the impact of vibration.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting assembly also includes a placement compartment located on the bottom support plate, within which the lithium battery is installed. In practical applications, this design facilitates the protection of the lithium battery.

[0011] Furthermore, the functional components also include a GPS positioning device, which is fixedly installed on the encapsulated compartment. In practical applications, this design facilitates regular inspections of municipal roads.

[0012] Furthermore, the packaging chamber has at least one directional groove on each side, arranged in a layer array. In practical applications, this design can effectively dissipate heat.

[0013] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the portable road inspection device integrated into the roof of a vehicle provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0014] This device is designed with high efficiency, convenience, multifunctionality, and adaptability in mind, and may specifically include the following aspects:

[0015] 1. Efficient inspection and data integration

[0016] Automation replaces manual labor: It reduces the time and error of manual inspections, and is especially suitable for large-scale scenarios such as highways and urban roads.

[0019] Lightweight structure: Aluminum alloys or composite materials are used to reduce weight and ensure vehicle driving stability.

[0020] Low wind resistance design: Optimized mechanical structure (such as streamlined shell) reduces wind noise and energy consumption, making it suitable for high-speed mobile inspection.

[0021] 3. Environmental adaptability and reliability

[0023] 4. Cost savings and ease of maintenance

[0024] Resource sharing: Utilize existing vehicles (such as patrol cars and taxis) to carry equipment to reduce the cost of dedicated inspection fleets.

[0025] Easy-maintain design: Modular components allow for individual replacement of faulty parts (e.g., if a single camera is damaged, the entire unit does not need to be disassembled).

[0026] 5. Scalability and Intelligent Analysis

[0027] Compatibility Interface: A data interface is reserved to support future upgrades.

[0028] Early warning function: Identifies dangerous road conditions (such as collapses and snow accumulation) in real time and pushes them to the management platform to improve the speed of emergency response.

[0029] 6. Security

[0030] Low center of gravity design: to prevent roof-mounted equipment from affecting vehicle driving safety.

[0031] Typical application scenarios

[0032] Smart cities: Regular inspections of municipal roads.

[0033] Disaster assessment: Rapid road condition screening after earthquakes or floods.

[0034] Maintenance Management: Preventive maintenance decision support based on AI analysis.

[0035] Through the above design, this patent significantly improves the economy, accuracy and automation of road inspection, while taking into account deployment flexibility and environmental adaptability, making it suitable for the intelligent needs of modern transportation infrastructure.
