Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment status monitoring, and specifically relates to a remote monitoring device for substation power equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As the core hub of the power system, the stable operation of substations directly determines the security and reliability of power transmission. With the continuous expansion of the power grid, substations are becoming increasingly widespread, with some even located in remote areas or complex geographical environments, posing significant challenges to on-site inspection of power equipment.

[0003] Current traditional monitoring methods rely heavily on regular manual inspections, which not only consumes significant manpower and material resources but also suffers from long inspection intervals and delayed response times, making it difficult to capture abnormal states during equipment operation in real time. Furthermore, existing monitoring devices are mostly fixed installations, limiting their monitoring angles and range, and failing to flexibly cover critical areas of power equipment, resulting in some potential hazards going undetected.

[0004] In environmental monitoring, traditional devices often only have a single monitoring function and lack the ability to comprehensively collect multi-dimensional environmental parameters such as smoke, temperature, and humidity, making it difficult to fully assess the environmental safety risks of equipment operation. Furthermore, existing monitoring systems suffer from insufficient data transmission and processing efficiency, failing to achieve real-time interaction between on-site data and remote terminals. When equipment malfunctions or environmental parameters exceed limits, alarms cannot be triggered and feedback not provided to maintenance personnel in a timely manner, potentially leading to equipment damage or even power outages, severely impacting the stable operation of the power system.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a remote monitoring device for substation power equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This invention provides a technical solution for a remote monitoring device for substation power equipment: Example 1: according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base, a linear drive mechanism, a guide mechanism, an angle adjustment mechanism, a swing arm 7, a sliding seat 4, and a monitoring box 8.

[0024] The base includes a base plate 1 and a back plate 2 fixed to the rear side of the base plate 1. The back plate 2 has multiple fixing holes 21. The guiding mechanism includes a guide rail 51 and a slider 52. The guide rail 51 is fixed to the front side of the back plate 2, and the slider 52 is fixed to the rear side of the sliding seat 4 and cooperates with the guide rail 51 to ensure the stability of the sliding seat 4 during lateral movement.

[0025] The linear drive mechanism includes a servo motor 34, a synchronous belt 33, a connecting block 35, and two synchronous pulleys 36. A rotating shaft 32 is fitted inside the synchronous pulley 36. The rotating shaft 32 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1 through a bearing seat 31. The synchronous belt 33 is fitted on the outside of the two synchronous pulleys 36. The servo motor 34 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and its output shaft is connected to the bottom end of either rotating shaft 32 to drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. The connecting block 35 is fixedly installed between the sliding seat 4 and the synchronous belt 33. During operation, the synchronous belt 33 drives the sliding seat 4 to move laterally through the connecting block 35.

[0026] The angle adjustment mechanism includes an outer housing 6 and a second servo motor installed inside the outer housing 6. The outer housing 6 is fixedly installed on the front side of the sliding seat 4. The output shaft of the second servo motor passes through the bearing installed on the front side of the outer housing 6 and is connected to the swing arm 7. The second servo motor drives the swing arm 7 to rotate, which can rotate the monitoring box 8 to the upper or lower side. At the same time, the swing arm 7 can be tilted to a certain angle according to the needs of the monitoring area to adjust the height of the monitoring box 8.

[0027] The monitoring box 8 is installed at the other end of the swing arm 7. Two ribs 9 are welded and fixed to the back of the monitoring box 8. The other side of the ribs 9 is welded and fixed to the swing arm 7, so that the monitoring box 8 is firmly fixed. The monitoring box 8 is equipped with a camera 82 and multiple environmental monitoring sensors, namely a smoke detector 81, a humidity sensor 83, and a temperature sensor 84. It can collect smoke concentration, air temperature and humidity around the substation power equipment in real time, comprehensively assess environmental safety risks, and provide early warning of potential threats such as fire and humidity. In addition, the camera 82 can simultaneously capture real-time images of the corresponding area, which makes it convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to understand the on-site situation and improve the accuracy and reliability of abnormal situation judgment.

[0028] In practical use, the remote monitoring device for substation power equipment of the present invention first uses a fastener to pass through the fixing hole 21 on the back plate 2 and firmly install the device on the box bracket of the power equipment. Start the servo motor 34 to drive the synchronous pulley 36 and synchronous belt 33 to rotate. Through the connecting block 35, drive the sliding seat 4 to move laterally along the guide rail 51 to adjust the monitoring box 8 to the horizontal direction of the target area. Then, drive the swing arm 7 to rotate through the servo motor 2, which will drive the monitoring box 8 to rotate, so that the camera 82 and the sensor are aligned with the area to be monitored. The temperature sensor 84, humidity sensor 83 and smoke detector 81 inside the monitoring box 8 collect environmental data in real time. At the same time, the camera 82 captures the scene. The smoke concentration, ambient humidity, ambient temperature data and video data are transmitted to the remote monitoring and processing terminal through the data transmission module for comprehensive analysis and environmental early warning. Maintenance personnel can adjust the lateral position and observation angle of the monitoring box 8 via remote commands to regularly complete equipment inspections and data verifications.

The environmental data acquisition module is electrically connected to the smoke detector 81, the humidity sensor 83, and the temperature sensor 84, respectively, and is used to collect environmental data.

[0030] The drive execution module is electrically connected to servo motor 34 and servo motor 2, and is used to receive control commands and drive servo motor 34 and servo motor 2 to move. The drive execution module is connected to the remote monitoring and processing terminal through the data transmission module. The drive execution module receives commands from the remote monitoring and processing terminal and controls servo motor 34 to drive the sliding seat 4 to move laterally, or controls servo motor 2 to drive the swing arm 7 and the monitoring box 8 to rotate.

[0031] The environmental data acquisition module sends the collected smoke concentration, ambient humidity, and ambient temperature data to the remote monitoring and processing terminal via the data transmission module. The video data collected by camera 82 is transmitted to the remote monitoring and processing terminal in real time via the data transmission module.

[0032] The data transmission module can be a wired or wireless transmission module, and the wireless transmission module can be a 4G or 5G communication module.

[0033] It also includes an alarm module, which is connected to a remote monitoring and processing terminal. The remote monitoring and processing terminal is configured to generate an alarm signal and send it to the alarm module when the received environmental data exceeds a preset threshold or when an abnormal situation is identified by analyzing video data. The alarm module is an audible and visual alarm, which is used to emit sound and flashing lights after receiving the alarm signal.

[0034] Through the collaborative work of the environmental data acquisition module, drive execution module, data transmission module, and remote monitoring and processing terminal, the system realizes real-time acquisition, transmission, and remote processing of on-site data. Once an anomaly is detected, the system can immediately generate an alarm signal and drive the alarm module to act. At the same time, it can automatically adjust the position of the camera 82 for tracking and confirmation.
