Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of safety distance alarm devices, and more specifically, to an intelligent safety distance audible and visual alarm protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many electric shock incidents occur in power production due to insufficient safety distances, resulting in personal injury or death. To prevent further unsafe incidents caused by insufficient safety distances, it is necessary to design and develop an intelligent safety distance alarm device that automatically issues an alarm when insufficient safety distance is detected. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent alarm protection device to prevent personnel from working in situations where the safe distance is insufficient, thereby avoiding electric shock accidents.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A smart safety distance sound and light alarm device includes a camera device, a smart chip, an alarm device, and a power module; characterized in that: the device is worn by the staff. The smart chip is connected to the camera and alarm devices. The smart chip should contain data from various electrical devices. Based on the images and video information collected by the camera, the smart chip can determine the environment in which the staff is located and the safe distance between the staff and the equipment. When the distance is less than the safe distance value built into the chip, the alarm device will sound an alarm to remind the staff to pay attention to the safe distance and prevent electric shock.

[0005] Furthermore, It also includes a communication module, which communicates with the backend host system.

[0006] Furthermore, The communication module communicates with the backend host system via wired and wireless methods. The wired method is used for device configuration and data transmission in the computer room, while the wireless method is used for communication with the host in field applications.

[0007] Furthermore, Communication methods include RS232 communication, RS485 communication, ZIGBEE communication, GPRS communication, or CDMA communication.

[0008] Furthermore, The power module is powered by a battery.

[0009] Furthermore, The alarm module is set to sound and light alarm.

[0010] Furthermore, Data on live equipment includes equipment appearance data, voltage level information, and corresponding safe distance thresholds.

[0011] An alarm method based on the above-mentioned intelligent safety distance audible and visual alarm device is characterized by: Includes the following steps, Step 1: Set up a camera device to collect images of a fixed area, input the collected images into a smart chip, and compare them with images of known devices to determine the type, voltage level, and parameters of the protective equipment. Step 2: Set up the camera device to collect video data; Step 3: Use the smart chip to analyze the changes in the device in the video data to determine whether it is approaching or moving away from the fixed protection device. If yes, proceed to step 4; otherwise, return to step 1. Step 4: Determine the real-time distance between the device and the protective equipment; Step 5: Using the voltage level of the determined protective equipment, the safe distance threshold of the equipment can be obtained. Compare the calculated real-time distance with the safe distance threshold. If it is less than the first safe distance threshold, an audible and visual alarm will be triggered; otherwise, proceed to step 4. Step 6: Use the communication module to notify the remote monitoring unit and send an alarm message.

[0012] Furthermore, In the fourth step, by using the type of protective equipment that has been determined, the external dimensions of the equipment can be obtained. Based on the external dimensions of the equipment and its proportional relationship in the image, the real-time distance between the device and the protective equipment can be determined.

[0013] Furthermore, Also includes: Step 7: Continue to calculate and determine the real-time distance. When it is less than the second safe distance threshold, use the communication module to notify the remote monitoring unit and issue a serious alarm message.

[0014] This application has the following beneficial technical effects: This invention is an intelligent safety distance alarm device. Its function is to automatically issue an alarm when the safe distance is insufficient, providing a safety warning. If someone wears this intelligent safety distance alarm device while working, the device's camera will collect information about the worker and the surrounding environment. This information is then transmitted to an intelligent chip for real-time processing and calculation to determine the distance between the worker and the live equipment. If the distance is less than the safe distance set within the chip, the intelligent chip sends a signal to activate the alarm device's buzzer, alerting the worker and surrounding personnel to prevent electric shock. Once the on-site personnel confirm the alarm, they can press the mute button on the protection device, and the buzzer will be silenced. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, an intelligent safety distance sound and light alarm device includes a camera device, an intelligent chip, an alarm device, a power module, and a communication module.

[0018] The smart chip is connected to a camera device, an alarm device, and a communication module. The smart chip should contain data on the appearance of the energized equipment, information on various voltage levels, and their corresponding safe distances. In other words, the smart chip can preliminarily determine the environment in which the person is located and the safe distance between the person and the equipment based on the distance between the person and the equipment collected by the camera device and the surrounding environment information. If the distance is less than the safe distance value set in the chip, the alarm device will sound an alarm to remind the staff to pay attention to the safe distance and prevent electric shock.

[0019] The power module is powered by a battery.

[0020] The alarm module is set to sound and light alarm.

[0021] The communication module communicates with the backend host system via wired and wireless methods. The wired method is used for device configuration and data transmission in the computer room, while the wireless method is used for communication with the host in field applications.

[0022] This includes RS232 communication, RS485 communication, ZIGBEE communication, GPRS communication, or CDMA communication.

[0023] The camera device collects image data.

[0024] The power module primarily provides a reliable power supply for the safety alarm device chip, and battery power is selected as the preferred option. The alarm unit simultaneously provides audible and visual alarms. The communication unit can communicate with the back-end host system using conventional RS232 or RS485 communication, or by establishing a wireless Zigbee network, or by using GPRS or CDMA communication, etc.

[0025] In addition, this invention provides an intelligent safety distance audible and visual alarm method, which includes the following steps: Step 1: Set up a camera device to collect images of a fixed area, input the collected images into a smart chip, and compare and identify them with images from known devices to determine the type, voltage level, and other parameters of the protective equipment. Step 2: Set up the camera device to collect video data; Step 3: Use the smart chip to analyze the changes in the device in the video data to determine whether it is approaching or moving away from the fixed protection device. If yes, proceed to step 4; otherwise, return to step 1. Step 4: Using the determined type of protective equipment, the external dimensions of the equipment can be obtained. Based on the external dimensions of the equipment and its proportional relationship in the image, the real-time distance between the device and the protective equipment can be determined.

[0026] Step 5: Using the voltage level of the determined protective equipment, the safe distance threshold of the equipment can be obtained. Compare the calculated real-time distance with the safe distance threshold. If it is less than the first safe distance threshold, an audible and visual alarm will be triggered; otherwise, proceed to step 4. Step 6: Use the communication module to notify the remote monitoring unit and send an alarm message; Step 8: Continue to calculate and determine the real-time distance. When it is less than the second safe distance threshold, use the communication module to notify the remote monitoring unit and issue a serious alarm message.

[0027] This invention can be worn by power plant maintenance and operation personnel during on-site inspections. The device is designed to be wearable and is temporarily worn on the user's work clothes or safety helmet.

[0028] When worn by power plant maintenance personnel during on-site work, it serves as a reminder of the safe distance from energized equipment. When worn by power plant operators during on-site operations or inspections, it also serves as a reminder of the safe distance from energized equipment.

[0029] The intelligent safety distance audible and visual alarm method collects images of fixed-point areas to determine the distance to energized equipment. This method can detect situations within fixed-point areas more broadly and effectively. The scope of the fixed-point areas is planned and determined before the alarm is triggered.

[0030] The safety distances for the corresponding voltage levels are determined by the state and industry. For example, the minimum first safety distance for 500kV live equipment is 8m and the minimum second safety distance is 5m. For 220kV live equipment, the minimum first safety distance is 5m and the minimum second safety distance is 3m.
