Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of offshore wind power, in particular to an inspection robot used for offshore wind power monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Offshore wind farms refer to offshore wind power with a water depth of about 10 meters. Compared with onshore wind farms, the advantages of offshore wind farms are that they do not occupy land resources, are basically not affected by topography, have higher wind speeds, more abundant wind energy resources, larger single-unit capacity of wind turbines, and higher annual utilization hours.

[0003] At present, offshore wind turbine pile foundations are generally fixed in single-column or frame-type methods according to different depths. They are deeply buried in seawater, and their corrosion efficiency is higher than that in dry air. The flowing seawater causes the loss of possible encapsulated salts, accelerating corrosion. Therefore, follow-up inspections are necessary to ensure the safety of wind turbines. Therefore, monitoring agencies are needed to monitor the status of offshore wind turbine pile foundations.

[0004] However, existing monitoring mechanisms for offshore wind turbine pile foundations generally monitor offshore wind turbine pile foundations at sea level or in the sea. At sea level, the surface of the camera is easily washed by sea water, leaving sea salt due to evaporation of sea water to block the surface of the camera, resulting in poor monitoring effect; when located in the sea, the surface of the camera is easily blocked by marine plants or mud and sand, resulting in poor monitoring effect. Utility Model Content

[0028] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides a technical solution: an inspection robot for offshore wind power monitoring, comprising a body 1, a monitoring probe 201 is arranged on the top surface of the body 1, a transparent protective cover 7 is also rotatably arranged on the top surface of the body 1, the transparent protective cover 7 covers the monitoring probe 201, a cleaning plate 801 is also arranged on the body 1, and a cleaning cotton attached to the outer wall of the transparent protective cover 7 is arranged on one side of the cleaning plate 801.

[0029] In this solution, the transparent protective cover 7 is hemispherical, and the cleaning plate 801 and the cleaning cotton are both arc-shaped structures adapted to the transparent protective cover 7, so that the cleaning plate 801 and the cleaning cotton are attached to the surface of the transparent protective cover 7;

[0030] When in use, the transparent protective cover 7 covers the monitoring probe 201, thereby isolating it from the seawater, and monitoring the status of the offshore wind turbine pile foundation through the monitoring probe 201. During the monitoring process, if there are obstructions attached to the surface of the transparent protective cover 7, which affects the monitoring effect of the monitoring probe 201, the surface of the transparent protective cover 7 is cleaned by contacting with the cleaning cotton and rotating the transparent protective cover 7, so as to brush off the attachments on the surface of the transparent protective cover 7, thereby improving the cleanliness of the transparent protective cover 7 on the one hand, and facilitating the monitoring probe 201 to monitor the offshore wind turbine pile foundation on the other hand.

[0031] In this embodiment, the side of the cleaning plate 801 close to the cleaning cotton is provided with a fleece-surface hook and loop fastener and a magic adhesive respectively.

[0032] The cleaning cotton is fixed to the side of the cleaning plate 801 close to the transparent protective cover 7 by the combination of Velcro and fleece-surface Velcro, so that the cleaning cotton can be easily replaced after long-term use.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first motor 8 is disposed on the machine body 1 , and an output end of the first motor 8 is connected to the lower end of the cleaning plate 801 .

[0034] The first motor 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cleaning plate 801. When the first motor 8 is started to rotate forward, the cleaning plate 801 rotates with the output end of the first motor 8 as the axis. After rotating 90°, the cleaning plate 801 rotates as a whole to the lower end of the transparent protective cover 7. While storing the cleaning plate 801, the shielding area of ​​the monitoring probe 201 is reduced, thereby increasing the monitoring range of the monitoring probe 201.

[0035] Among them, the model of the first motor is PG36555.

[0036] In this embodiment, a second motor 9 is disposed in the body 1 , the output end of the second motor 9 vertically penetrates the top surface of the body 1 and is provided with a rotating block 10 , and the monitoring probe 201 and the transparent protective cover 7 are both mounted on the rotating block 10 .

[0037] By starting the second motor 9 to drive the rotating block 10 to rotate, the transparent protective cover 7 and the monitoring probe 201 are driven to rotate. The monitoring probe 201 adjusts the monitoring angle as the rotating block 10 rotates, thereby expanding the monitoring range of the monitoring probe 201.

[0038] Among them, the model of the second motor is PG36555.

[0039] In this embodiment, a thread groove 1001 is provided on the top surface of the rotating block 10, and the lower end of the transparent protective cover 7 extends into the thread groove 1001 for threaded engagement.

[0040] The transparent protective cover 7 is twisted to make it fall off from the thread groove 1001 , thereby facilitating the staff to replace or repair the monitoring probe 201 .

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of lighting lamps 11 are arranged on the side wall of the machine body 1 along the circumferential direction.

[0042] By providing the lighting lamp 11 , the visibility of the monitoring probe 201 to the offshore wind power pile foundation is enhanced, thereby improving the monitoring effect of the monitoring probe 201 .

[0043] In this embodiment, a mounting groove 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the body 1 , an airbag 13 is provided in the mounting groove 12 , and an inflation port 14 communicating with the airbag 13 is provided on one side of the body 1 .

[0044] In a natural state, the airbag 13 is in a contracted state because there is not enough air inside. The airbag 13 can be inflated through the inflation port 14 to expand it and float on the sea.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the inflation port 14 is provided with an internal thread, the internal thread of the inflation port 14 is matched with the inflation tank 15, an air valve 16 is provided between the inflation port 14 and the airbag 13, and the air valve 16 is connected to the output end of the inflation tank 15.

[0046] By placing an air tank 15 in the inflation port 14 in advance and connecting its output end to the air valve 16, when the device is located on the seabed, the air valve 16 is activated to open, so that the air tank 15 is connected to the air bag 13, and air is input into the air bag 13 to make the device float upward on the seabed until it reaches the sea surface, so that the device can be recovered.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
