Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of protective device technology, specifically a protective device for an audio driver of a gas pipeline locator based on the Internet of Things. Background Technology With the rapid development of IoT technology, gas pipeline locators, as crucial equipment for gas pipeline inspection and maintenance, have garnered significant attention for their performance and reliability. The audio driver, a key component of the gas pipeline locator, plays a vital role in accurately detecting the location of gas pipelines. However, in practical applications, the audio driver faces numerous external interferences and potential threats, such as physical collisions and unauthorized access. These can damage the audio driver or cause malfunctions, thereby affecting the overall performance of the gas pipeline locator.

[0002] Currently, although there are some protective devices on the market for protecting equipment, most of them have problems such as limited functionality and poor protective effect.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN211792329U proposes an electronic component assembly protective cover, including a base and a shell. The shell is detachably mounted on the top of the base. Grooves are formed on both sides of the top surface of the base, and the bottom of the shell is located within the groove cavity. A pressing block is inserted through one side of the inner cavity of the shell sidewall. A spring is installed at one end of the pressing block, and the spring is located at the bottom end of the inner cavity of the shell sidewall. A fixing hole is formed through one sidewall of the groove. This invention allows for separation of the shell from the base by pressing the pressing block, which, under the action of the spring, sinks into the fixing hole. Then, the shell can be pulled upwards. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the shell and base, simplifying production and maintenance, and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, an aluminum heat-conducting plate is installed on the inner wall of the shell, which has a high thermal conductivity, guiding the hot air from the inner cavity of the shell to the inner wall of the cavity, thus improving heat dissipation. Although this connects the base and the shell, the protective device only focuses on physical protection and lacks an intelligent security mechanism, failing to effectively prevent unauthorized access and damage. For example, Chinese patent CN218467242U proposes a protective device for mobile communication equipment. This device, relating to the field of mobile communication equipment technology, includes a main body. A hydrophobic brick is placed at the bottom of the main body, and a protective fence assembly mechanism is placed above the hydrophobic brick. A waterproof and sun-proof mechanism is placed at the top of the protective fence assembly mechanism. The protective fence assembly mechanism includes a bottom counterweight unit and side assembly units. This invention uses bolts to connect and fix support columns one and two to support rod sockets to form the outer frame of the protective fence, facilitating the installation of the top cover and fence. Sand can be injected into the counterweight block through a sand injection pipe, increasing the weight at the bottom of the counterweight block and improving the stability of the counterweight lifting device. The snap-fit ​​connector, connecting block, and threaded rod cooperate to allow multiple sets of protective fence outer frames to be combined, providing enclosed protection for the mobile communication equipment. While this device provides some protection, its installation and adjustment are complex, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid installation and convenient adjustment in practical applications. For example, patent CN209643114U proposes an outdoor anti-theft communication equipment cabinet. This cabinet includes a main body with a communication cabinet top mounted on its exterior. Fixing screws are connected to the interior of the bottom of the main body. The cabinet contains a communication equipment installation chamber. Hinges are installed on both the left and right sides of the front of the main body. A left cabinet door is connected to the left side of the front of the main body, with a push-pull handle on its exterior. A right cabinet door is connected to the right side of the left cabinet door, with a push-pull handle on its exterior. A lock is connected to the interior of the left side of the right cabinet door. This outdoor anti-theft communication equipment cabinet effectively improves its security performance, preventing thieves from opening or disassembling the cabinet through ventilation vents or door gaps. It also enhances the stability between the cabinet and the concrete ground, making it impossible for thieves to remove the entire cabinet from the concrete ground from the outside. However, it only focuses on physical protection and lacks remote monitoring and alarm functions. In case of abnormalities, it cannot promptly notify management personnel for handling.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides comprehensive and reliable protection for the audio driver through innovative structural design and intelligent control system. It also features convenient installation and adjustment, intelligent safety protection, and remote monitoring functions, effectively solving the shortcomings of existing protective devices in protecting the audio driver of the gas pipeline locator. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a protective device for an audio driver of a gas pipeline locator based on the Internet of Things, comprising a mounting base and a protective housing. A supporting base plate is provided on top of the mounting base. Magnetic locks are respectively installed at the center of the four outer sides (front, back, left, and right) of the supporting base plate. An identification device is embedded in the front right side of the supporting base. The four corners of the supporting base plate are respectively connected to a partition plate via supporting column one, and the four corners of the partition plate are respectively connected to a supporting top plate via supporting column three. Threaded rods are rotatably provided on both sides of the upper part of the supporting base plate. Threaded sleeves are fitted onto the threaded rods, and an annular connecting plate is provided between two threaded sleeves. Connecting sleeves are respectively provided on both sides inside the annular connecting plate. The connecting sleeve is connected to the connecting rod via adjusting bolts. The connecting rod is connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate. An audio driver is clamped between the two arc-shaped clamping plates. A pipe connector is provided below the audio driver. The threaded rod passes through the partition plate and extends to the top of the partition plate to connect with the pinion. A large gear is provided between the two pinions, and the two sides of the large gear mesh with the two pinions respectively. The two sides above the large gear are connected to the rotating disk via support columns. A rotating shaft is provided at the center of the top of the rotating disk. The rotating shaft passes through the top support plate and extends to the top of the top support plate to connect with the rotating knob. The mounting base is covered by a protective shell. Locking plates are provided at the center of the front, back, left, and right sides of the bottom of the protective shell.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting base has a through hole one at its center, and the support base plate above the through hole one has a through hole two at the corresponding position.

[0007] Preferably, the magnetic lock cylinder of the magnetic lock is engaged with the lock plate for locking.

[0008] Preferably, a locking disc is provided on the rotating shaft, and the locking disc cooperates with a retractable locking plate provided inside the supporting top plate to lock the position of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the protective housing has a shock-absorbing cotton layer inside.

[0010] Preferably, the supporting top plate is respectively provided with a positioning component, a control component, an alarm component, and a remote transmission component.

[0011] Preferably, the control components are connected to the magnetic lock, the identity reader, the audio driver, the positioning component, the alarm component, and the remote transmission component via lines, respectively.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention features a carefully designed gear linkage mechanism. When the user rotates a knob, the knob drives a rotating disk via a rotating shaft. The rotating disk drives a large gear, which in turn drives a meshing small gear. This small gear then drives a threaded rod, which in turn lowers a threaded sleeve block. This allows for easy adjustment of the audio driver's height and smooth connection of pipe fittings. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the waste of manpower and time.

[0013] An annular connecting plate is fixed between the two threaded sleeves of the present invention. Connecting sleeves are provided on both sides of the inner side of the connecting plate. The connecting sleeves are connected to the connecting rod by adjusting bolts, and then connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate. By adjusting the adjusting bolts, the arc-shaped clamping plate can clamp or loosen the audio driver, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the audio driver.

[0014] This invention employs a combination of physical and intelligent protection. The protective housing effectively protects the audio driver from interference and damage from the external environment, while the magnetic lock and identification device ensure that only certified personnel can access the device. This dual protection greatly enhances the security of the device and reduces the risk of unauthorized access or damage.

[0015] This invention innovates in anti-theft alarm and remote monitoring. Once someone attempts to forcibly remove the protective housing, the Hall sensor will immediately sense and send a signal, triggering the alarm component and the positioning component. This not only provides real-time anti-theft protection for the equipment, but also transmits alarm information and location to the remote monitoring center in real time, enabling managers to respond quickly and take measures.

The control component 24 is connected to the magnetic lock, Hall sensor, identity recognition device 3, audio driver, positioning component 24, alarm component 26, and remote transmission component 27 via lines.

[0025] Example 1; I. Mounting base and support structure: Mounting base: As the foundation of the entire device, it is made of high-strength metal material to ensure stability and durability. Mounting base 1 has a through hole in the center to facilitate the extension of the audio driver pipe connector. Support base plate: fixed above the mounting base 1, connected to the partition plate 15 through support column 1 5, and the partition plate 15 is connected to the support top plate 22 through support column 30, forming a stable support frame.

[0026] II. Audio Driver Installation and Adjustment Mechanism Threaded rod and threaded sleeve: Two threaded rods are rotatably mounted on both sides above the support base plate. Each threaded rod 6 is fitted with a threaded sleeve 7. By rotating the threaded rod 6, the threaded sleeve 7 can be driven to move up and down. Annular connecting plate and arc-shaped clamping plate: An annular connecting plate 8 is fixed between two threaded sleeve blocks 7. Connecting sleeves 9 are provided on both sides inside the plate. The connecting sleeves 9 are connected to the connecting rod 10 by adjusting bolts 11, and then connected to the arc-shaped clamping plate. By adjusting the adjusting bolts, the arc-shaped clamping plate can clamp or loosen the audio driver 13.

[0027] Gear transmission mechanism: includes a small gear 16 connected to the threaded rod 6, a large gear 17 meshing with the two small gears 16, and a rotating disk 19 connected to the large gear through a support column 2 18. A rotating shaft 20 is provided at the center of the upper part of the rotating disk 19, which passes through the support top plate and is connected to the rotating knob 23. By rotating the rotating knob 23, the gear transmission mechanism can be driven, thereby driving the threaded rod 6 to rotate, so as to realize the up and down movement of the audio driver 13.

[0028] III. Protection and Safety Organizations Magnetic locks and identity readers: Magnetic locks are installed at the center of the front, back, left and right sides of the support base plate 1. Hall sensors are installed inside each magnetic lock. An identity reader 3 is embedded in the front right side of the support base to identify the identity information of the staff. The magnetic locks will only unlock after the identity is successfully authenticated, allowing the installation or removal of the protective shell.

[0029] Protective housing and shock-absorbing cotton layer: Covering the outside of the mounting base 1, with locking plates 29 respectively provided at the center of the front, back, left and right sides below it, which are locked in conjunction with magnetic locks. The protective housing 28 is provided with a shock-absorbing cotton layer 281 inside, which is used to absorb external impacts and protect the audio driver 13 from damage. Locking mechanism: A locking disc 21 is provided on the rotating shaft 20, which cooperates with the retractable locking plate provided inside the support top plate to lock the position of the rotating shaft and prevent the audio driver from moving accidentally during use.

[0030] IV. Intelligent Control and Remote Monitoring Control and auxiliary components: The top support plate is equipped with a positioning component 24, a control component 25, an alarm component 26, and a remote transmission component 27. The control component 25 serves as the brain of the entire device and is connected to the magnetic lock, Hall sensor, identity recognition device 3, audio driver 13, positioning component 24, alarm component 26, and remote transmission component 27 through wiring to achieve intelligent control.

[0031] When someone attempts to illegally remove the protective housing 28, the Hall sensor will detect this action and send a signal to the control component 25. The control component 25 will immediately control the alarm component 26 to sound an alarm and send the alarm information and location to the remote monitoring center through the remote transmission component 27. At the same time, the control component 28 can also control the working status of the audio driver 13 as needed and receive and process information from other components.

[0032] V. Implementation Procedure Installation and Adjustment: The staff first authenticates their identity through the identification device. After successful authentication, the magnetic lock is unlocked, the protective housing 28 is removed, the audio controller 13 is clamped between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 12, the adjusting bolt 11 is adjusted, and the connecting rod 10 is pushed to slide in the connecting sleeve 9, which drives the arc-shaped clamping plates on both sides to move closer to the center, thereby achieving adaptive clamping of the audio driver 13. Then, rotate knob 23. Rotating knob 23 drives rotating disk 19 to rotate via rotating shaft 20. Rotating disk 19 drives large gear 17 to rotate. Rotating large gear 17 drives meshing small gear 16 to rotate. In turn, rotating small gear 16 drives threaded rod 6 to rotate. Rotating threaded rod 6 drives threaded sleeve block 7 to descend, causing audio driver 13 to descend. Since the two threaded sleeve blocks 7 are rigidly connected by annular connecting plate 6, and the two threaded rods 6 have the same thread direction and rotate synchronously, the audio driver 13 can be raised and lowered smoothly as a whole. The descent of audio driver 13 causes the pipe joint 14 below to protrude through through hole one and through hole two 401, which is convenient for connection with gas pipe. Because the protective housing 28 is equipped with a shock-absorbing cotton layer 281, the shock-absorbing cotton layer 281 absorbs external impacts and protects the audio driver 13. The shock-absorbing cotton layer 281 is made of one of polyurethane foam, EPE or sponge-like polymer materials and has a porous elastic structure. When an external impact is transmitted to the protective housing 28, the micropores inside the material will quickly undergo elastic deformation, converting the mechanical impact energy into heat energy and releasing it, thereby reducing the vibration intensity transmitted to the internal audio driver 13.

[0033] After connection, the protective housing 28 is placed over the mounting base 1, and the locking plate 29 is locked in place with the magnetic lock. The control component monitors the working status of the device in real time, receives and processes information from each component. If someone forcibly removes the protective housing 28, the Hall sensor senses the change in the magnetic field, immediately triggers the alarm component 26 and activates the positioning component 24. The remote transmission component 27 uploads the alarm information and real-time location to the monitoring center to achieve remote response.

[0034] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solutions described in this invention, or by designing similar technical solutions by those skilled in the art under the inspiration of the technical solutions described in this invention, falls within the protection scope of this invention.
