Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power detection technology, and more specifically, to an insulating glove monitoring device and monitoring method for an electrician's pen. Background Technology

[0002] In current electrical work, insulating gloves and electrician's pens are core equipment for ensuring personnel safety. Traditional insulating gloves only provide physical insulation and cannot monitor the wearing status in real time. As shown in the insulating glove disclosed in application CN206453305U, workers may not wear the gloves correctly or the gloves may be damaged. Existing technologies rely on manual inspection, which is inefficient and prone to oversight. Using an electrician's pen without wearing gloves may cause electric shock accidents. While electrician's pens and insulating gloves are functionally closely related work equipment, they lack a reliable and efficient communication mechanism to work together, failing to improve real-time safety protection. Currently, there is a lack of a multi-sensor fusion monitoring device and method for communication between electrician's pens and insulating gloves. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insulating glove monitoring device and monitoring method for electricians' pens, in order to solve the problem in the prior art where electricians forget to wear insulating gloves or are unwilling to wear insulating gloves when performing high-voltage insulation measurements, which brings the safety hazard of electric shock to the electrician's measurement work.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: An insulating glove monitoring device for an electrician's pen includes an electrician's pen and an insulating glove. The electrician's pen includes a pen tip and a pen body. The pen tip is equipped with a detection head, and the pen body is equipped with a pressure sensor and a display screen. The pen body contains a main controller, which is connected to a communication module. The main controller is connected to the pressure sensor, the display screen, the detection head, and an indicator light. The insulating glove includes a sensing layer and a microcontroller. The sensing layer includes a contact sensor and a deformation sensor. The microcontroller includes a Bluetooth unit. The Bluetooth unit is communicatively connected to the communication module.

[0005] Furthermore, the contact sensor is disposed in the fingertip area inside the insulating glove; the deformation sensor is disposed in the back area outside the insulating glove.

[0006] Furthermore, the insulating glove has a humidity sensor installed in the palm area inside.

[0007] Furthermore, the insulating glove is equipped with a vibration motor and a light strip at the outer wrist; the bottom of the insulating glove is equipped with a flexible tightening sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the electrician's pen is equipped with a buzzer and an indicator light on its body.

[0009] A method for monitoring insulating gloves used in electricians' pens includes the following steps: Step S1: Acquire the status signal of the acquisition tool; Step S2: Acquire the status signal at the glove end; Step S3: Transmit the tool end status signal and glove end status signal to the main controller; Step S4: The main controller performs a predetermined security logic judgment; Step S5: Activate the warning action based on the warning signal.

[0010] Furthermore, the tool end status signal includes a tool grip signal detected by a pressure sensor located on the electrician's pen; the glove end status signal includes a wearing contact signal detected by a contact sensor located on the fingertips and palm area of ​​the insulating glove.

[0011] Furthermore, the glove end status signal also includes a wear integrity signal detected by a deformation sensor located in the back area of ​​the insulating glove.

[0012] Furthermore, the security logic judgment includes the following steps: Step S41: Determine whether a tool grip signal, a wear contact signal, and a wear integrity signal are received; receiving a tool grip signal indicates that the electrician's pen is being held and used; receiving a wear contact signal and a wear integrity signal indicates that the insulating gloves are being worn correctly and completely.

[0013] Step S42: If the tool grip signal, wear contact signal, and wear integrity signal are all received, the current behavior is determined to be a safe operating state.

[0014] Step S43: If a tool holding signal is received, but no wearing contact signal or wearing integrity signal is received, the current behavior is determined to be a violation of the rules. The indicator light on the electrician's pen and the light strip on the insulating glove will emit red light, the electrician's pen buzzer will sound an alarm, and the vibration motor of the insulating glove will start to vibrate.

[0015] Furthermore, the determination that the current behavior is a safe operating state, and the working state of the electrician's pen is activated.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention significantly improves the safety and efficiency of electrical work through the integrated design of an electrician's pen and an insulating glove, as well as the fusion of multiple sensors. A contact sensor in the fingertip area detects whether the glove fits the skin, ensuring proper wearing; a deformation sensor on the back of the hand monitors for stretching or tearing of the glove, determining the integrity of the fit; and a pressure sensor in the electrician's pen detects the grip state. Combined with the glove signal, this provides dual confirmation of tool use and adequate protection.

[0017] This invention constructs a dynamic safety monitoring closed loop by intelligently linking the pressure sensor of the electrician's pen with the contact and deformation sensors of the insulating glove, realizing a leap from mere wearing to actual protection; its multi-sensory early warning system ensures efficient transmission of warnings, while humidity monitoring provides proactive early warning of insulation failure, ultimately forming an intelligent safety system that is deeply integrated with operational behavior and provides comprehensive proactive protection.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in this application, other similar embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," and "right," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings; therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1: A monitoring device for insulating gloves used with electrician's pens, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes an electrician's pen and an insulating glove 1. The electrician's pen includes a pen tip 14 and a pen body 9. The pen tip 14 is equipped with a detection head 13. Behind the detection head 13, a metal induction ring is embedded inside the insulating shell, which is connected to the internal voltage detection circuit for non-contact voltage measurement. The pen body 9 is equipped with a pressure sensor 12 and a display screen 10. The pen body 9 contains a main controller, the core of which is an ESP32-C3 processor with integrated Wi-Fi & BLE. The main controller is connected to a communication module and is connected to the pressure sensor 12, the display screen 10, the detection head 13, and the indicator light 11. It receives data from all sensors and performs core logic judgments.

[0023] The insulating glove 1 includes a sensing layer and a microcontroller 6. The sensing layer includes a contact sensor 4 and a deformation sensor 8. The microcontroller 6 includes a Bluetooth unit, which is connected to a communication module. An intelligent linkage system between the electrician's pen and the insulating glove 1 is established, enabling real-time monitoring of the tool's usage status and the protective equipment's status, thus solving the problem of disconnect between the two in traditional monitoring systems.

[0024] The electrician's pen's outer shell is made of glass fiber reinforced nylon, ensuring strength and electrical insulation. The pressure sensor 12 is covered with non-slip conductive rubber, with tiny insulating bumps on its surface, ensuring a comfortable grip while allowing the pressure sensor 12 to detect hand pressure. A thin, elongated lithium polymer battery is placed longitudinally along the pen body 9. The electrician's pen uses a USB-C magnetic charging port, mounted on the side of the pen's end, and is waterproofed.

[0025] The insulating glove 1 comprises an inner lining, a sensor integration layer, and an insulating layer. The inner lining is made of moisture-wicking cotton or high-performance synthetic fiber material, providing wearing comfort and absorbing a small amount of hand sweat. Contact sensors 4 are respectively located at the fingertips of the five fingers of the insulating glove 1. The tension sensor uses a miniature metal foil strain gauge, which is directly attached to an elastic insulating substrate on the back of the glove. When the glove is stretched, the substrate stretches, causing the strain gauge to deform. The insulating layer is made of insulating rubber (such as NBR) or latex. During the molding of this layer, the sensor integration layer is permanently encapsulated inside the insulating material through secondary injection molding or insert injection molding processes, forming a whole. This ensures the robustness and fully sealed insulation of the sensor.

[0026] Example 2: A monitoring device for an insulating glove used with an electrician's pen. The contact sensor 4 is located inside the insulating glove 1 at the fingertips; the deformation sensor 8 is located on the outside of the insulating glove 1 at the back. The combination of the contact sensor 4 and the deformation sensor 8 allows for accurate determination of whether the glove is worn correctly and completely, effectively preventing protective failure due to improper wearing.

[0027] The insulating glove 1 has a humidity sensor 5 installed in the palm area inside to monitor whether the insulation performance inside the glove deteriorates due to sweat or a humid environment. The humidity sensor 5 provides proactive monitoring of insulation performance, issuing an early warning before actual insulation loss, thus shifting from reactive alarm to proactive prevention.

[0028] The insulating glove 1 is equipped with a vibration motor 2 and a light strip 3 at the outer wrist; the bottom of the insulating glove 1 is equipped with a flexible tightening sleeve 7. The resonant motor provides a tactile alarm, and the flexible tightening sleeve 7 improves wearing comfort, which helps to promote standardized operation and long-term wear by operators.

[0029] The electrician's pen has a buzzer and an indicator light 11 on its body 9. The combined sound and light alarm ensures that warning information can be effectively perceived in various working environments. Everything else is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0030] A monitoring method for an insulating glove 1 used for an electrician's pen includes the following steps: Step S1: Collect tool end status signal; detect tool grip signal through electrician pen pressure sensor 12. When the continuous pressure exceeds the set threshold, it is determined to be a valid grip.

[0031] Step S2: Collect glove end status signals; detect wearing contact signals through contact sensor 4 of insulating glove 1, detect wearing integrity signals through deformation sensor 8, and detect internal humidity signals through humidity sensor 5.

[0032] Step S3: Transmit the tool end status signal and glove end status signal to the main controller; Step S4: The main controller performs a predetermined security logic judgment; Step S5: Activate the warning action based on the warning signal.

[0033] The tool end status signal includes a tool grip signal detected by the pressure sensor 12 located on the electrician's pen; the glove end status signal includes a wearing contact signal detected by the contact sensor 4 located in the fingertip and palm area of ​​the insulating glove 1.

[0034] The glove end status signal also includes a wear integrity signal detected by a deformation sensor 8 located in the back area of ​​the insulating glove 1.

[0035] The security logic judgment includes the following steps: Step S41: Determine whether a tool grip signal, a wear contact signal, and a wear integrity signal are received; receiving a tool grip signal indicates that the electrician's pen is being held and used; receiving a wear contact signal and a wear integrity signal indicates that the insulating glove 1 is being worn correctly and completely.

[0036] Step S42: If the tool holding signal, wearing contact signal, and wearing integrity signal are all received, the current behavior is determined to be a safe operating state. The indicator light 11 of the electrician's pen and the light strip of the insulating glove 1 emit green light. The main controller of the electrician's pen supplies power to the internal circuit and the display screen 10 so that the electrician's pen can be used and operated normally.

[0037] Step S43: If a tool holding signal is received, but no wearing contact signal or wearing integrity signal is received, the current behavior is determined to be a violation. The indicator light 11 of the electrician's pen and the light strip of the insulating glove 1 emit red light, the electrician's pen buzzer sounds an alarm, and the vibration motor 2 of the insulating glove 1 starts to vibrate. At this time, the electrician's pen is only powered by the indicator light 11, and the electrician's pen cannot be used normally.

[0038] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
