Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of safety monitoring technology and is a smart sensing device for safety at power work sites. Background Technology

[0002] Power work sites are often located in complex outdoor environments, involving various scenarios such as working at heights, equipment maintenance, and line repair. Safety monitoring is a crucial link in ensuring the safety of workers and the stable operation of equipment. Currently, most existing power site safety monitoring equipment uses a single sensor design, typically monitoring only a single environmental parameter such as temperature or humidity. This fails to comprehensively capture various safety hazards such as sudden changes in wind speed and water accumulation, making it difficult for workers to anticipate risks and increasing the risk of accidents. For example, in some outdoor power maintenance sites, the lack of real-time wind speed monitoring may cause workers at heights to lose their balance during sudden gusts of wind; while in low-lying areas, the lack of monitoring of water depth may cause equipment short circuits or electric shock risks. These single monitoring modes are no longer sufficient to meet the safety requirements of complex scenarios.

[0003] In terms of on-site visual monitoring, existing equipment is mostly equipped with a single camera, resulting in a limited monitoring angle and significant blind spots, making it difficult to comprehensively cover every corner of the work area. When workers operate behind the equipment or in the camera's blind spot, back-end management personnel cannot monitor the on-site status in real time, and in the event of an emergency, they cannot take timely emergency measures. Furthermore, existing monitoring equipment largely relies on wired transmission or a single wireless method, resulting in poor data transmission stability. In remote outdoor areas, signal interruptions are prone to occur, leading to the loss of monitoring footage and hindering continuous and effective on-site supervision, posing a significant challenge to safety management.

[0004] In terms of power supply, most existing power safety monitoring equipment relies on external power sources or built-in ordinary batteries. Equipment relying on external power sources is limited by power lines and cannot be flexibly deployed to remote work sites without power supply. Equipment powered by ordinary batteries has limited battery life, requiring frequent battery replacements, which not only increases maintenance costs but may also cause equipment downtime due to battery depletion, making 24-hour continuous monitoring impossible. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks effective positioning and collaborative networking capabilities. When multiple work sites are operating simultaneously, managers struggle to accurately determine the deployment location of each device, hindering data sharing and collaborative scheduling, resulting in low management efficiency and difficulty in meeting the synchronous safety monitoring needs of multiple scenarios and regions. These shortcomings of existing technologies severely restrict the comprehensiveness, timeliness, and reliability of power work site safety monitoring, necessitating a safety sensing device integrating multi-dimensional monitoring, autonomous power supply, and intelligent collaborative functions to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an intelligent sensing device for safety at power work sites, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and can effectively solve the problems of existing equipment having a single monitoring dimension, blind spots in monitoring, limited power supply methods, and lack of intelligent collaborative functions.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and the specific implementation can be determined according to the technical solution of the present invention and the actual situation.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments: Example 1: As Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an intelligent sensing device for safety at a power work site, including a device body 1, an environmental sensing module, a monitoring module, an alarm module, and an energy module. The device body 1 houses each functional module, providing a stable installation foundation. The environmental sensing module, integrated into the device body 1 and signal-connected to the alarm module, transmits collected environmental parameter data to the alarm module. The monitoring module, also integrated into the device body 1, monitors the activity status of personnel at the work site and captures images. The alarm module receives abnormal parameter signals transmitted by the environmental sensing module and issues alarm prompts. The energy module is electrically connected to the environmental sensing module, monitoring module, and alarm module, providing continuous power to each functional module. This intelligent safety sensing device for power work sites uses the device body 1 as a stable foundation, providing installation support and operational assurance for each functional module. The energy module continuously outputs power through electrical connections with the environmental sensing module, monitoring module, and alarm module, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the entire system. The environmental sensing module, integrated into the device body 1, collects key environmental parameters such as on-site temperature, wind speed, and water immersion depth in real time, and transmits the data synchronously through a signal connection with the alarm module. The monitoring module simultaneously captures on-site images of personnel operations and equipment operation, achieving visual monitoring. After receiving environmental parameter data, the alarm module compares it with preset safety thresholds. Once a parameter exceeds the standard, it determines a safety risk and immediately activates the alarm mechanism to issue a notification. At the same time, the backend can intuitively grasp the on-site situation through the screen. The whole system forms a closed-loop link of "power supply support - data acquisition - signal transmission - status monitoring - anomaly judgment - alarm notification," realizing real-time perception and rapid response to safety risks. This invention can achieve the organic integration of each core module, ensuring the coordinated realization of basic functions such as environmental monitoring, on-site monitoring, anomaly alarm, and stable power supply, providing comprehensive safety sensing support for power work sites.

[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the device body 1 has a cylindrical structure with a handle 3 at the top and a base 2 at the bottom. The base 2 has radial protrusions at its bottom. The handle 3 facilitates carrying and deployment, while the base 2 with radial protrusions enhances the device's anti-slip stability on outdoor ground, preventing the device from tipping over due to wind or minor collisions.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, the monitoring module is a panoramic camera 5, and there are three panoramic cameras 5: a first panoramic camera 9, a second panoramic camera 10, and a third panoramic camera 11, arranged in a triangular pattern. Figure 2 As shown, by utilizing the characteristics of a triangular distribution, complementary coverage of the monitoring perspectives of the three cameras is achieved, eliminating blind spots of a single camera and ensuring that every corner of the work site can be captured in real time, providing a complete on-site view for back-end management.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, the environmental sensing module includes a temperature sensor, a wind speed sensor 6, and a water immersion sensor; the temperature sensor is used to measure the ambient temperature, the wind speed sensor 6 is used to detect wind parameters, and the water immersion sensor is used to monitor rainfall and ground water levels. Simultaneously, it captures three key environmental safety parameters at the power operation site, comprehensively understanding safety hazards such as abnormal temperature, sudden wind speed changes, and water immersion, providing multi-dimensional data support for risk prediction.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, a communication and positioning module is also included. This module is integrated into the device body 1 and includes a wireless communication component, a Bluetooth component, a local area network component, and a positioning component. The wireless communication component is used for remote data transmission; the Bluetooth component is used for short-range data interaction; the local area network component is used for multi-device collaborative networking; and the positioning component is used to obtain the real-time location of the device. This allows for multi-mode data transmission, meeting different needs for remote management and short-range debugging. The multi-device collaborative networking and positioning functions facilitate unified scheduling and location tracking of equipment at multiple work sites by management personnel.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the positioning component is a GPS positioning component or a BeiDou positioning component. The appropriate positioning method is selected based on the signal coverage at the work site to ensure accurate acquisition of device location information and improve the accuracy of equipment deployment and management.

[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, an interface module is also included. The interface module is located at the bottom of the device body 1 and includes a Type-C interface 7 and a charging interface 8, used for data export and transmission and external power charging. It can provide wired data transmission and backup power supply interfaces. Data can be exported via wired means when the wireless signal is poor, and the device can continue to operate via an external power supply in special scenarios where solar power is insufficient.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, the energy module includes a solar panel 4 disposed on the side of the device body 1 and a lithium battery built into the device body 1. The solar panel 4 is electrically connected to the lithium battery and is used to convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the lithium battery. This enables efficient utilization of solar energy and electrical energy storage, eliminating dependence on external power sources and allowing the device to operate stably for a long time in remote outdoor work sites without power supply, thereby reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the alarm module is a voice broadcasting device, used to receive abnormal parameter signals transmitted by the environmental sensing module and issue alarm statements to alert the operators. When abnormal environmental parameters occur, it can promptly alert on-site operators in voice form, which is more intuitive than traditional light alarms and ensures rapid response and hazard avoidance.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the alarm module is equipped with an alarm threshold setting component, which is used to customize the alarm trigger thresholds for temperature, wind speed, and water immersion depth. The alarm thresholds for various environmental parameters can be flexibly adjusted according to the safety requirements of different power operation scenarios, improving the adaptability of the device and meeting the personalized safety monitoring needs of different scenarios such as high-altitude operations and low-lying area operations.

[0032] Specifically, this invention is an intelligent sensing device for safety at power work sites. It adopts a cylindrical integrated design. The device body 1 has a diameter of 15-20cm, a height of 30-40cm, and a weight of ≤3kg. It features a carrying handle 3 on the top and a non-slip rubber base 2 on the bottom. The base 2 has radially protruding bottoms, adaptable to various road surfaces such as cement, dirt roads, and gravel roads, ensuring stable placement. The device body 1 has integrated dual solar panels 4 (each panel with an area of ​​100-150cm² and a conversion efficiency ≥18%) on its sides. The bottom has a Type-C interface 7 and a 220V charging interface 8. It has a built-in 10000mAh lithium battery, supporting both solar and AC charging modes. When fully charged without solar supplementation, it can operate continuously for ≥48 hours. The solar panel 4 has a charging efficiency of ≥5V / 2A, balancing portability and battery life. The core modules include a 360° rotating wind speed sensor 6 (responding to wind speeds of 0-30 m / s, with a measurement accuracy of ±0.5 m / s) integrated on the top of the device body 1, a temperature sensor, a water immersion sensor, and three panoramic cameras 5 (including a first panoramic camera 9, a second panoramic camera 10, and a third panoramic camera 11) with convex glass designs arranged in a triangle. It also integrates a communication and positioning module, a voice-announced alarm module, and an alarm threshold setting component, resulting in a high degree of functional integration. This device achieves full-process safety awareness through multi-module collaboration: the environmental sensing module collects temperature, wind speed, and water immersion depth data in real time, compares it with preset thresholds (temperature -20℃-60℃, wind speed 0-12, water immersion depth 0-50 cm) via a built-in processor; the panoramic cameras 5 simultaneously monitor the entry and exit status of personnel at the work site and capture images; the positioning module provides real-time feedback on the device's position, triggering an alarm if it deviates from the preset work area. When abnormal parameters or positional deviations are detected, the alarm module automatically issues a custom voice alarm statement. At the same time, it transmits data and images to the backend or designated personnel's terminal via wireless communication. It supports bidirectional threshold setting via on-site buttons and the backend system, reducing manual intervention and improving response timeliness.

[0033] During operation, the device is first carried to the power work site via the handle 3. The device is then stably placed in a suitable position using the base 2 with radial protrusions at the bottom. The alarm threshold setting component sets alarm trigger thresholds for temperature, wind speed, and water immersion depth according to the type of work being performed. The temperature sensor, wind speed sensor 6, and water immersion sensor of the environmental perception module simultaneously collect on-site environmental parameters and transmit the data to the alarm module. When parameters exceed the set thresholds, the alarm module issues an alarm prompt in voice format. Three triangularly distributed panoramic cameras 5 (first panoramic camera 9, second panoramic camera 10, and third panoramic camera 11) capture real-time images of the work site. The communication and positioning module transmits environmental data and monitoring images to the backend management system via a wireless communication component. Simultaneously, it sends device location information to the backend via a positioning component. When multiple devices are operating, they can achieve collaborative networking through a local area network component. The solar panel 4 of the energy module converts solar energy into electrical energy stored in a lithium battery to continuously power each module. The Type C interface 7 and charging interface 8 can be used as backups for wired data export or external power charging. The system provides comprehensive safety assurance for the entire process of power work site environmental monitoring, on-site monitoring, anomaly alarms, intelligent transmission, and stable power supply, effectively improving operational safety and management efficiency.

[0034] This invention boasts significant scenario adaptability and collaborative capabilities, supporting local area networking of more than 10 devices with a communication distance of ≤500m in unobstructed environments, enabling full coverage and data sharing across large-scale work sites. It integrates five core advantages: multi-parameter monitoring, intelligent alarms, portable adaptability, dual-mode power supply, and collaborative networking. This effectively solves the problems of scattered and subjective data in traditional manual measurements. It not only adapts to the flexible deployment needs of complex outdoor power operation scenarios but also reduces operational safety risks and improves on-site safety management efficiency through "one-stop" environmental control and full-domain collaborative monitoring.

Specifically, in this invention, the environmental sensing module's temperature sensor has a measurement range of -40℃ to 85℃, an accuracy level of ±0.5℃, and a response time ≤1s; the wind speed sensor has a measurement range of 0 to 60m / s, a resolution of 0.1m / s, and an operating voltage of 5V to 12V DC; the water immersion sensor has a detection range of 0 to 10cm of water depth, and its output signal type is either an analog signal of 4 to 20mA or a digital signal of TTL. The monitoring module's three panoramic cameras each have a lens angle of 120° to 140°, a resolution of 1080P or 4K, a frame rate of 30fps, and an environmental protection rating of IP65. The energy module's solar panel has a power of 10W to 30W, a conversion efficiency of ≥22%, and a size and specifications adapted to the side mounting space of the device body; the lithium battery has a capacity of 10Ah to 20Ah, a nominal voltage of 12V, and a cycle life of ≥1000 cycles.
