Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] With the widespread application of mobile inspection equipment in various industries, effectively recording unexpected situations during equipment use has become an important issue. In actual use, mobile inspection equipment may experience malfunctions or collisions due to various reasons. Traditional video recording equipment cannot save video in a timely manner when malfunctions occur, resulting in the loss of status recording data of the mobile inspection equipment. This makes it impossible to determine the cause of the malfunction, which is detrimental to the safe maintenance of the mobile inspection equipment and reduces its utilization efficiency. To solve the above technical problems, this application provides a drop detection system, installed on the inspection equipment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the system includes: a first detection module 10, a second detection module 20, a main control module 30, and a recording module 40. The first detection module 10's input terminal is used to detect the acceleration of the inspection equipment, and its output terminal is connected to the main control module 30 to output the acceleration to the main control module 30. The second detection module 20's input terminal is used to detect the tilt angle of the inspection equipment, and its output terminal is connected to the main control module 30 to output the tilt angle to the main control module 30. The main control module 30's output terminal is connected to the recording module 40, and it receives the acceleration and the tilt angle, and outputs a first control signal to the recording module 40 based on the acceleration and the tilt angle. The first control signal controls the recording module 40 to start recording. The recording module 40 records the operation process of the inspection equipment upon receiving the first control signal. This application uses a first detection module to detect the acceleration of the inspection equipment and outputs the acceleration to the main control module; a second detection module to detect the tilt angle of the inspection equipment and outputs the tilt angle to the main control module; the main control module receives the acceleration and the tilt angle, and outputs a first control signal to the recording module based on the acceleration and the tilt angle; the recording module receives the first control signal and records the operation process of the inspection equipment. By combining the detection of acceleration and tilt angle, the main control module controls the recording module to achieve timely recording of the operation process of the drop detection system, ensuring timely saving of the status recording data of the inspection equipment, clarifying the cause of the mobile inspection equipment's status, facilitating the safe maintenance of the mobile inspection equipment, and improving the utilization efficiency of the mobile inspection equipment.

[0038] In one embodiment, the step of outputting a first control signal to the recording module 40 based on the acceleration and the tilt angle includes: the main control module 30 outputting the first control signal to the recording module 40 when the acceleration is greater than a first threshold or the tilt angle is greater than a second threshold; or the main control module 30 outputting the first control signal to the recording module 40 when the acceleration is greater than the first threshold and the tilt angle is greater than the second threshold.

[0039] Specifically, the main control module 30 can be a CPU with any signal. After receiving acceleration and tilt angle, it compares them with a first threshold and a second threshold stored internally. If the actual acquired acceleration is greater than the first threshold, or the tilt angle is greater than the second threshold, the main control module 30 can output the first control signal to the connected recording module 40, so that the recording module 40 can automatically start recording mode to record video data of the current actual operation state of the inspection equipment. When the actual acquired acceleration is greater than the first threshold and the tilt angle is greater than the second threshold, the main control module 30 can output the first control signal to the connected recording module 40, so that the recording module 40 can automatically start recording mode to record video data of the current actual operation state of the inspection equipment. This ensures that the status recording data of the inspection equipment is saved in a timely manner, clarifies the cause of the mobile inspection equipment's status, facilitates the safe maintenance of the mobile inspection equipment, and improves the utilization efficiency of the mobile inspection equipment.

[0043] Specifically, the storage module 50 is located inside the recording module 40 and can store in real time the video data of the mobile inspection equipment's actions during a fall, acquired by the recording module 40, so that maintenance personnel can analyze the cause of the fall. The storage module 50 can quickly respond to and save the recording data under the trigger conditions recorded by the recording module 40, ensuring the integrity and security of the data.

[0045] Specifically, to ensure the drop detection system can operate continuously and efficiently, a power management module 60 is provided to supply power to the first detection module 10, the second detection module 20, the main control module 30, and the recording module 40. This ensures that the first detection module 10, the second detection module 20, the main control module 30, and the recording module 40 can operate continuously, guaranteeing real-time storage of action video data under any drop condition.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drop detection system further includes an alarm module 70, wherein the input terminal of the alarm module 70 is connected to the output terminal of the main control module 30, and is used to receive a second control signal output by the main control module 30 and perform an alarm action; the second control signal is the control signal output by the main control module to the alarm module when the recording module starts recording.

[0047] Specifically, in order to alert maintenance personnel when the recording module starts recording synchronously, the alarm module 70 is set to alarm for the drop status of the inspection equipment, so as to prompt maintenance personnel to perform relevant operations.
