Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of logistics auxiliary tools technology, and more specifically, to a mobile temperature monitoring device for battery storage areas. Background Technology

[0002] Current battery storage area temperature monitoring mostly relies on fixed-point temperature measuring equipment or manual on-site temperature inspection. Fixed temperature measuring equipment has a limited monitoring range, making it difficult to fully cover all battery areas in the storage area and easily resulting in temperature blind spots. Manual inspection is not only inefficient and costly, but also poses safety risks due to battery thermal runaway when measured at close range. In addition, conventional temperature measuring equipment cannot flexibly adjust the spatial position of the temperature probe, making it difficult to adapt to the temperature measurement needs of batteries placed in different locations and at different heights in the storage area, resulting in insufficient temperature measurement flexibility.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a mobile temperature monitoring device for battery storage areas, which solves the technical problem that existing battery storage area temperature monitoring methods have blind spots in their monitoring range, making them inflexible and difficult to adapt to the temperature monitoring needs of batteries in different locations within the storage area.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a battery storage area mobile temperature monitoring device is provided, comprising: a mobile part having a mounting position; an adjustment part having an adjustment rod, the adjustment part being located above the mounting position and connected to the mobile part, at least a portion of the adjustment part being movably disposed relative to the mobile part such that the adjustment rod has a first initial position and at least one first adjustment position; and an infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module connected to the side of the adjustment rod, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module being disposed at a distance from the mobile part, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module being used to acquire battery surface temperature data; wherein, controlling the mobile part allows it to move the adjustment part and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module from an idle position in the storage area to a target position in the storage area.

[0006] Furthermore, the battery storage area mobile temperature monitoring device also includes: an audible and visual alarm module, which is located above the adjustment rod and connected to the top of the adjustment rod. The audible and visual alarm module is set at a distance from the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module and the moving part, and is used to issue an alarm.

[0007] Furthermore, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module includes multiple infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement units, which are arranged to extend along the length of the adjustment rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the adjustment unit also includes: a support assembly having a support plate, the support assembly being connected to the moving part, a portion of the support assembly being movably disposed relative to the moving part so that the support plate has a second initial position and at least one second adjustment position, an adjustment rod being movably connected to the support plate, and the support assembly being disposed at a distance from the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module; a lifting assembly having a rack, the lifting assembly being connected to the support plate, a portion of the lifting assembly being movably disposed relative to the support plate, the rack being connected to the adjustment rod, and the rack extending along the length direction of the adjustment rod; wherein, controlling the support plate allows the support plate to drive the lifting assembly, the adjustment rod, and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module to move, and controlling the rack allows the adjustment rod to be located at the first initial position and any one of the first adjustment positions.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly also includes: a drive motor, which is located above the support plate, with its mounting base connected to the support plate, and the drive motor located on one side of the adjusting rod; a drive gear, which is connected to the main shaft of the drive motor and meshes with a rack; wherein, controlling the drive motor can cause the drive gear to move the rack, thereby positioning the adjusting rod in a first initial position and any first adjusting position.

[0010] Furthermore, the support plate has a sliding hole, and part of the adjusting rod and part of the rack are located inside the sliding hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes: an adjusting electric cylinder, which is located below the support plate and is spaced apart from the lifting assembly and the adjusting rod. One end of the adjusting electric cylinder is hinged to the support plate, and the other end of the adjusting electric cylinder is hinged to the moving part. Multiple adjusting electric cylinders are arranged spaced apart along the circumference of the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the moving part includes: a drive module, which is spaced apart from the adjustment unit and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module; a moving support assembly, which is located above the drive module, and the other end of the adjustment cylinder is movably connected to the moving support assembly; wherein, controlling the drive module enables the moving support assembly to move the adjustment unit and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module from an idle position in the warehouse to the target position in the warehouse.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable support assembly includes: a support base, one end of which is connected to the drive module; a movable support plate, which is located above the support base and is spaced apart from the drive module; and the other end of the adjusting electric cylinder is movably connected to the movable support plate.

[0015] By applying the technical solution of this invention, the moving part can drive the adjusting part and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module to move freely to various target monitoring positions within the storage area. The adjusting part drives the adjusting rod to achieve position switching, flexibly changing the spatial attitude and position of the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module. The module and the moving part maintain a distance to avoid structural interference. Battery surface temperature data can be collected from a distance, eliminating the need for close-range manual inspection, thus eliminating the safety hazards of manual inspection, expanding the temperature measurement coverage, reducing temperature measurement blind spots, and improving the flexibility, comprehensiveness, and operational safety of battery storage area temperature monitoring. This solves the technical problem that existing battery storage area temperature monitoring methods have temperature measurement blind spots, resulting in inflexible adjustments and difficulty in adapting to the temperature measurement needs of batteries in different locations within the storage area.

[0027] Currently, energy storage batteries and power batteries are mostly stored in centralized stacking and dense shelving warehouses. During static storage and batch storage, batteries are prone to abnormal temperature rises due to issues such as cell aging, stacking heat accumulation, and micro-short circuits. If the temperature cannot be monitored accurately and in a timely manner, it can easily lead to thermal runaway, fire, or even a chain reaction of fires. Therefore, all-weather, full-coverage, and blind-spot-free temperature monitoring is the core key to the safe operation and maintenance of battery storage areas. At present, temperature monitoring operations in battery storage areas in the industry still generally follow traditional monitoring methods, mainly relying on a combination of fixed-point deployment of temperature measuring equipment and manual handheld inspections. There is a lack of automated, mobile, and adjustable dedicated temperature measuring equipment, and the overall monitoring system has a low level of intelligence, making it difficult to adapt to the safety monitoring needs of large-scale, high-density battery storage, and presenting obvious technical shortcomings and safety hazards.

[0028] Existing fixed temperature monitoring equipment is mostly installed at fixed points, with fixed installation positions and monitoring angles that cannot be adjusted. This results in extremely limited monitoring range, covering only localized open areas of the storage area. It cannot reach the inner sides of shelves, storage corners, or high-level areas of multi-layered shelves, creating numerous temperature monitoring blind spots in battery storage areas and failing to achieve comprehensive temperature monitoring of the entire storage area. Reducing these blind spots would require a large number of additional fixed temperature monitoring devices, significantly increasing the costs of equipment procurement, wiring, and subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, excessive and dense deployment of equipment would increase the safety risks of wiring in the storage area. This still cannot fully adapt to the diverse temperature monitoring scenarios of batteries placed in different locations and stacked at different heights, resulting in extremely poor temperature measurement adaptability and versatility.

[0029] Traditional manual handheld temperature measurement and inspection methods also have many drawbacks. Manual inspections require dedicated personnel to be on-site at regular intervals, resulting in high labor costs, low work efficiency, and an inability to achieve 24 / 7 uninterrupted monitoring. This makes it highly susceptible to missed or delayed inspections and makes it difficult to detect abnormal battery temperature rises in real time. Furthermore, manual temperature measurement at close range to stacked battery shelves poses a significant risk to the personal safety of inspection personnel should a battery experience sudden thermal runaway and fire. In addition, most conventional battery temperature measurement devices on the market lack autonomous mobility, making it impossible to flexibly move between idle locations in the warehouse and various target temperature measurement points. Moreover, the temperature probe structure is fixed and lacks adjustable rod structures, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the temperature measurement position and height according to the battery stacking height. This insufficient flexibility makes it difficult to meet the routine, precise, and comprehensive temperature monitoring needs of modern battery warehouses.

[0030] Combination Figures 1 to 5As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a battery storage area mobile temperature monitoring device is provided, comprising: a mobile part 10 having a mounting position; an adjustment part 20 having an adjustment rod 203, the adjustment part 20 being located above the mounting position and connected to the mobile part 10, at least a portion of the adjustment part 20 being movably disposed relative to the mobile part 10 such that the adjustment rod 203 has a first initial position and at least one first adjustment position; and an infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 being connected to the side of the adjustment rod 203, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 being disposed at a distance from the mobile part 10, and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 being used to acquire battery surface temperature data; wherein, controlling the mobile part 10 allows the mobile part 10 to move the adjustment part 20 and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 from an idle position in the storage area to a target position in the storage area.

[0031] This invention discloses a mobile temperature monitoring device for battery storage areas, primarily used for temperature inspection and monitoring in centralized storage areas of power batteries and energy storage batteries. It effectively solves the problems of large blind spots, low efficiency of manual inspections, and inflexible adjustment of temperature measurement positions inherent in traditional fixed temperature measurement systems. The device features a simple and compact overall structure, stable operation, and strong adaptability, meeting the requirements for all-weather, automated, and comprehensive temperature monitoring in battery storage areas. The core structure of this device mainly comprises three parts: a moving unit, an adjusting unit, and an infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module. These components work together to achieve autonomous movement and precise temperature measurement within the battery storage area.

[0032] The mobile unit, serving as the bottom support and driving structure of the device, is located at the very bottom of the entire system. It bears the weight of all the upper temperature measurement and adjustment structures, while also providing the device with autonomous movement and transport capabilities. During actual assembly and use, the mobile unit can achieve smooth overall movement, fixed-point stopping, and fine-tuning. It can autonomously move and shift on the warehouse floor according to the inspection plan for the battery storage area, precisely facilitating the reciprocating transport of the device between idle locations within the warehouse and the target temperature measurement locations for each battery. This completely overcomes the limitations of traditional fixed-installation, immovable temperature measurement equipment, providing fundamental mobility assurance for comprehensive, blind-spot-free temperature measurement.

[0033] The adjustment unit is the core structure for height and position adjustment of this device. It is fixedly assembled above the moving part and stably connected to it as an integral structure, allowing it to move and move synchronously with the moving part. The adjustment unit contains a vertically arranged adjustment rod, which serves as the core mounting carrier for the temperature measurement module, used to mount and fix the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module. The adjustment unit also adopts a movable assembly structure design, allowing at least a portion of its structure to move flexibly relative to the moving part. Through relative movement between the structures, the position of the adjustment rod can be adjusted, enabling it to be stably positioned in a first initial position and multiple first adjustment positions at different heights. The first initial position is the low-lying state where the adjustment rod is retracted and stored, suitable for device movement, obstacle avoidance, and idle parking. The various first adjustment positions represent different heights of the adjustment rod, which can be flexibly switched according to the shelf height of the battery rack and the battery stacking height to adapt to the temperature measurement requirements of batteries at different heights.

[0034] The infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module is the core component of the device for temperature acquisition. It is specifically designed to collect real-time surface temperature data of batteries to be monitored inside the warehouse, enabling accurate identification and monitoring of battery temperature. This infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module is fixedly installed on the side of the adjustment rod. This side-mounted design ensures that the temperature measurement lens faces the battery shelf, guaranteeing a clear and unobstructed field of view. Simultaneously, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module is positioned with a certain distance between itself and the moving part below, effectively preventing the base structure of the moving part from obstructing the temperature measurement field of view or causing glare interference. This eliminates temperature measurement failures and data deviations caused by structural obstructions, effectively ensuring the accuracy and stability of temperature acquisition.

[0035] In actual operation, this device boasts a high degree of automation, requiring no close-range manual operation. During normal idle periods, the entire unit rests in a pre-designated location within the warehouse, with the adjusting rod in its initial retracted position. The device's compact size minimizes space occupation within the warehouse. When battery temperature monitoring is required, a movement command is issued via the control system to activate the moving unit. This unit moves smoothly, simultaneously moving the connected adjusting unit and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module mounted on the adjusting rod, precisely delivering the entire temperature measurement structure to the corresponding battery monitoring target location within the warehouse.

[0036] Once the device reaches the target temperature measurement location, it can adjust the relative movement of the adjustment unit to the moving unit according to the placement height and position requirements of the batteries on site. This drives the adjustment rod to switch from the initial position to the corresponding adjustment position, precisely adjusting the ground clearance and monitoring point of the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module so that the module is directly facing the surface of the battery being monitored. The infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module then starts working, continuously collecting real-time temperature data from the battery surface to complete the temperature monitoring of a single battery. After single-point monitoring is completed, the moving unit is controlled again to move the entire temperature measurement structure to the next monitoring point, cyclically completing the full-area temperature inspection of the entire battery storage area. This effectively improves the comprehensiveness, flexibility, and automation of temperature monitoring in the battery storage area.

[0037] Specifically, the battery storage area moving temperature monitoring device also includes: an audible and visual alarm module 40, which is located above the adjusting rod 203 and connected to the top of the adjusting rod 203. The audible and visual alarm module 40 is set at a distance from the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 and the moving part 10. The audible and visual alarm module 40 is used to issue an alarm.

[0038] In this embodiment, the audible and visual alarm module 40 is installed at the top of the adjusting rod 203 and is kept at a distance from the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 and the moving part 10. This ensures that the temperature measurement field of view is not obstructed and that an alarm can be issued in a timely manner when the battery temperature is abnormal, making it convenient for staff to quickly detect potential high temperature hazards.

[0039] In this embodiment, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 includes multiple infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement units, which are arranged to extend along the length of the adjustment rod 203.

[0040] In this embodiment, multiple infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement units are arranged along the length of the adjustment rod 203, which can simultaneously detect multiple vertically arranged batteries, greatly improving the coverage of a single temperature measurement and the efficiency of warehouse inspection.

[0041] Furthermore, the adjustment unit 20 also includes: a support assembly having a support plate 201, the support assembly being connected to the moving part 10, a portion of the support assembly being movably disposed relative to the moving part 10 such that the support plate 201 has a second initial position and at least one second adjustment position, an adjustment rod 203 being movably connected to the support plate 201, and the support assembly being disposed at a distance from the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30; and a lifting assembly having a rack 206, the lifting assembly being connected to the support plate 201, a portion of the lifting assembly being movably disposed relative to the support plate 201, the rack 206 being connected to the adjustment rod 203, and the rack 206 extending along the length direction of the adjustment rod 203; wherein, controlling the support plate 201 allows the support plate 201 to move the lifting assembly, the adjustment rod 203, and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30, and controlling the rack 206 allows the adjustment rod 203 to be located at the first initial position and any one of the first adjustment positions.

[0042] In this embodiment, the overall posture is adjusted by the support plate 201 and the height of the adjustment rod 203 is raised and lowered independently by the rack 206. The two adjustments work together to flexibly change the position and angle of the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30, adapting to various battery placement conditions in the warehouse area. The gap between the support component and the temperature measurement module also avoids structural obstruction of temperature measurement.

[0043] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly further includes: a drive motor 204, which is located above the support plate 201, with its mounting base connected to the support plate 201, and the drive motor 204 located on one side of the adjusting rod 203; and a drive gear 207, which is connected to the main shaft of the drive motor 204 and meshes with the rack 206. Controlling the drive motor 204 allows the drive gear 207 to move the rack 206, thereby positioning the adjusting rod 203 in a first initial position and any first adjustment position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the drive motor 204 arranged on the side of the support plate 201 drives the drive gear 207 to mesh with the drive rack 206, which can smoothly and accurately complete the height switching of the adjustment rod 203 between the first initial position and each first adjustment position. The gear and rack transmission has strong stability, and the motor layout is reasonable and will not interfere with the lifting and lowering action of the adjustment rod 203.

[0045] Specifically, the support plate 201 has a sliding hole 2070, and part of the adjusting rod 203 and part of the rack 206 are located in the sliding hole 2070.

[0046] In this embodiment, the sliding hole 2070 in the support plate 201 can limit and guide the adjusting rod 203 and the rack 206, ensuring high straightness during the lifting process, effectively preventing deviation and shaking, and making the height adjustment smooth and stable.

[0047] Furthermore, the support assembly also includes: an adjusting electric cylinder 202, which is located below the support plate 201. The adjusting electric cylinder 202 is spaced apart from the lifting assembly and the adjusting rod 203. One end of the adjusting electric cylinder 202 is hinged to the support plate 201, and the other end of the adjusting electric cylinder 202 is hinged to the moving part 10. Multiple adjusting electric cylinders 202 are included, and the multiple adjusting electric cylinders 202 are spaced apart along the circumference of the support plate 201.

[0048] In this embodiment, multiple adjusting electric cylinders 202 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support plate 201 are hinged between the support plate 201 and the moving part 10. The electric cylinders are separated from the lifting assembly and the adjusting rod 203 to avoid motion interference. They can smoothly drive the support plate 201 to adjust at multiple angles, and the force is even and not easy to tilt or jam.

[0049] In this embodiment, the moving part 10 includes: a drive module 103, which is spaced apart from the adjustment part 20 and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30; and a moving support assembly, which is located above the drive module 103, with the other end of the adjusting electric cylinder 202 movably connected to the moving support assembly; wherein, controlling the drive module 103 can cause the moving support assembly to move the adjustment part 20 and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 from an idle position in the warehouse to a target position in the warehouse.

[0050] In this embodiment, the drive module 103, the adjustment unit 20, and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 are separated from each other, which can avoid interference from the walking power structure with the temperature measurement operation. Relying on the mobile support component to support the connection and adjustment electric cylinder 202, the drive module 103 can smoothly drive the entire temperature measurement structure to move between the idle position in the warehouse and the target position, and the inspection movement is reliable and orderly.

[0051] Furthermore, the movable support assembly includes: a support base 102, one end of which is connected to the drive module 103; a movable support plate 101, which is located above the support base 102 and is spaced apart from the drive module 103; and the other end of the adjusting electric cylinder 202 is movably connected to the movable support plate 101.

[0052] In this embodiment, the support base 102 connects the drive module 103 and the movable support plate 101. The movable support plate 101 and the drive module 103 are isolated from each other, which not only achieves overall stable load bearing, but also facilitates the installation and hinge of the electric cylinder 202, avoiding collisions and interference between the walking components and the upper adjustment structure.

[0053] Specifically, the adjustment unit 20 also includes: a movable ball 205, which is connected to the bottom end of the adjustment rod 203; a limiting space is provided on the support base 102; a connecting hole is provided on the movable support plate 101, which is correspondingly provided with the limiting space; at least part of the movable ball 205 is located within the limiting space; and the movable ball 205 is movably connected to the support base 102.

[0054] In this embodiment, the movable ball 205 at the bottom of the adjusting rod 203, together with the limiting space of the support seat 102, can achieve universal movement, which can buffer the stress generated by the pitching and lifting of the adjusting rod 203, avoid the rod from getting stuck and deformed, and the limiting space can also restrict the movable ball 205 from falling out, ensuring the stable operation of the adjusting structure.

[0055] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a method for monitoring the moving temperature of a battery storage area is also provided, for controlling the aforementioned battery storage area moving temperature monitoring device, comprising:

[0056] Before commencing inspection operations, preliminary deployment of the storage area and preset inspection parameters are completed. Positioning markers are placed in the passageways of the battery storage area, and a closed-loop inspection path covering all battery storage shelves is planned. Idle parking positions and automatic charging stations are set up in designated areas of the warehouse. Temperature safety thresholds, temperature change rate thresholds, inspection cycles, and path location information are preset in the device's built-in control system. At the same time, based on the number of battery shelf layers and the stacking height of wooden boxes in the storage area, multiple sets of first adjustment position parameters corresponding to the adjustment rod 203 and second adjustment position parameters corresponding to the support plate 201 are preset to ensure that the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 can adapt to the battery temperature measurement needs of different shelf heights and different placement angles.

[0057] Upon receiving the inspection start command, the device starts from an idle position in the warehouse, controlling the drive module 103 of the moving part 10 to run. The drive module 103 drives the moving support plate 101, the upper adjustment part 20, and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 to move along the preset path through the support base 102. During the movement, the device adjusts its walking position in real time based on the positioning markers. When it encounters obstacles in the passage, it automatically slows down or detours, moving sequentially to the target temperature measurement positions in each warehouse. The entire process does not require manual on-site operation, replacing the traditional manual walking inspection mode.

[0058] When the moving unit 10 moves to the target warehouse position corresponding to a single set of shelves, the device stops moving and remains stationary. The adjustment unit 20 is activated to complete the attitude adaptation based on the current battery stacking height and placement angle of the shelves. First, the multiple circumferentially arranged adjusting electric cylinders 202 are controlled to extend and retract in tandem, driving the support plate 201 to adjust the pitch angle relative to the moving part 10, so that the support plate 201 switches from the second initial position to the appropriate second adjustment position. Simultaneously, the adjusting rod 203 and the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 are driven to adjust the overall tilt angle, so that the temperature measurement lens is aimed at the depth area of ​​the shelf. Then, the drive motor 204 is started, driving the drive gear 207 to rotate through the main shaft. Relying on the meshing transmission between the drive gear 207 and the rack 206, the rack 206 is driven to move vertically along the sliding hole 2070 of the support plate 201, thereby driving the adjusting rod 203 to rise and fall, so that the adjusting rod 203 switches from the first initial position to the first adjustment position of the corresponding height, adjusting the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 to the optimal temperature measurement height and angle facing the battery surface. During the adjustment process, the movable ball 205 at the bottom of the adjusting rod 203 adaptively rotates in all directions within the limited space of the support seat 102, offsetting the structural stress generated by the angle adjustment and ensuring that the adjustment process is smooth and without jamming.

[0059] After the temperature measurement posture is adjusted, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 is activated to collect temperature data. Multiple infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement units arranged along the length of the adjustment rod 203 work synchronously, aiming at the surface of the batteries at different heights, and collecting surface temperature distribution data of the vertical multi-layer batteries in one go. During the collection process, the infrared thermal imaging temperature measurement module 30 maintains a distance from the moving part 10 to avoid the base structure from obstructing the temperature measurement field of view, ensuring complete acquisition of battery temperature information in traditional blind spots such as the inside of the shelf and the corners of the warehouse. The collected raw temperature data is temporarily stored in the device's local storage unit in real time. A single collection can cover an entire row of multi-layer batteries, significantly reducing the temperature measurement time at a single point.

[0060] After completing the temperature acquisition at a single point, the device uploads the collected temperature data to the warehouse monitoring backend system via a wireless transmission module. The backend system performs a two-dimensional comparative analysis of the data: horizontally, it compares the surface temperatures of batteries in adjacent warehouse locations under the same environment to identify abnormal points with locally high temperatures; vertically, it compares the historical temperature data of the same battery location to analyze the rate of temperature change. When the battery surface temperature exceeds the preset safety threshold, or the rate of temperature increase per unit time exceeds the threshold, it determines that there is a risk of thermal runaway at that point, avoiding misjudgments and omissions caused by human reading errors.

[0061] Upon detecting an abnormal temperature, the device immediately triggers the audible and visual alarm module 40 at the top of the regulating rod 203, emitting an audible and visual warning signal at the temperature measurement site to alert maintenance personnel around the storage area to quickly locate the abnormal point. Simultaneously, the background monitoring system pops up an alarm window and pushes early warning information, automatically saving the thermal image, temperature value, and time information of the abnormal point to form a traceable abnormal log. After the maintenance personnel handle the situation on-site and confirm that the hidden danger has been eliminated, they remotely send an alarm cancellation command to the device, and the device continues to perform subsequent inspection tasks.

[0062] After the device completes the temperature measurement work at all preset warehouse target locations in sequence, the control moving part 10 returns to the idle position of the warehouse along the planned path. During the return trip, the adjustment part 20 synchronously drives the adjustment rod 203 to fall back to the first initial position and the support plate 201 to fall back to the second initial position, reducing the overall space occupied by the device and avoiding collisions with goods and shelves in the aisle. After the device arrives at the idle position, it enters a low-power standby state. If the device detects that its own power is lower than the preset threshold, it will automatically move to the charging station to complete automatic power replenishment and wait for the next round of inspection instructions, thereby realizing 24-hour uninterrupted normal temperature monitoring in the battery storage area.
