DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1The blind inspection terminal device of the infrastructure of the Internet of Things for transportation comprises a shell 1, a motor 7 and a binocular camera 12. The bottom of the shell 1 is fixedly connected with the motor 7, and the outside of the motor 7 is connected with a wheel 8. There are four motors 7 at the bottom of the shell 1, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the shell 1. Each motor 7 is directly connected to the wheel 8, so that the device does not need additional transmission equipment, and the structure is simple and reliable. The four motors 7 can make the device more powerful, the torque distribution more reasonable, and the passability better. There are binocular cameras 12 and laser radars 11 at the front of the shell 1, which observe the terrain and traffic conditions ahead in real time through vision and radar, so that the device can autonomously perform unmanned inspection work. After the route is set, no manual operation is required, which saves labor costs. There is a power supply bridge 4 inside the shell 1. The power supply bridge 4 is cross-shaped, dividing the internal space into four parts. There are evenly spaced longitudinally arranged grooves 19 around the power supply bridge 4. The upper and lower parts of the grooves 19 on each surface are respectively penetrated, and a positive electrode sheet 15 and a negative electrode sheet 16 are arranged inside the through-through part. The positive electrode sheet 15 is under the groove 19 The negative electrode sheet 16 is on the upper part of the groove 19. The power supply bridge 4 is made of insulating material. In addition to supporting the internal power supply line, it also plays a role in fixing and protecting external equipment. The bottom of the shell 1 is composed of a fixing hole 5. After the internal equipment is connected to the power supply bridge 4 through corresponding matching facilities, the lower part also has corresponding protrusions inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 5 to complete the fixation of the internal equipment. This method allows the internal equipment to complete modular installation and power supply, and is connected to the inside of the shell 1 through a universal connection device. There is no need to fix it again with bolts and nuts, which saves the cost of installation and later maintenance. It also allows different devices to be installed inside according to the actual needs of inspection, thereby improving the expansibility and practicality of the equipment. There is a cover 2 above the shell 1, and a camera 10 and an infrared camera 9 are installed above the cover 2. The camera 10 can rotate in all directions and can work well both in driving and stationary states. The infrared camera 9 can detect the external temperature condition. When the inspected facility fails and the temperature is abnormal, the infrared camera 9 can promptly detect the problem and feedback it to the control host 6.

[0019] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2There is an integral power supply line inside the power supply bridge 4. There is a power supply electrode column at the center of the power supply bridge 4, including a positive electrode column 17 and a negative electrode column 18. The two electrodes are not connected to each other to prevent electric shock caused by short circuit of the line. There is a pole piece on the outside of the power supply electrode column. The negative electrode piece 16 is close to the upper end of the pole column. The negative electrode piece 16 is connected at the root and connected to the negative electrode column 18. The positive electrode piece 15 is close to the lower end of the pole column. The positive electrode piece 15 is connected from the root and connected to the positive electrode column 17. There are pole pieces in the grooves 19 on the upper and lower sides of each side of the power supply bridge 4. Each side can supply power to the connected equipment separately. The lines between each side are connected in parallel, which will not affect the working voltage and current. The cross-sections of the pole pieces and the poles are large, which reduces the resistance and effectively reduces the equipment The heat generated by the line during the operation of the equipment is measured. After the two batteries 3 are connected through the power supply bridge 4, when the battery 3 is exhausted and needs to be replaced, each battery 3 can be replaced in turn, ensuring that at any time there is at least one battery 3 connected to the power supply bridge 4 to power the equipment, so that the equipment can be replaced without powering off, which greatly improves the inspection endurance of the equipment. The binocular camera 12, laser radar 11, camera 10 and motor 7 are all connected to the pole through the positive connection 14 and the negative connection 13, and these devices are powered by the battery 3. In addition to external inspection through the camera 10 and the infrared camera 9, the equipment carried in the housing 1 can also connect to the inspected facilities through the network, and confirm the inspection effect for the second time from the software level, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection.

[0020] Working principle: After fixing the required devices inside the shell 1 through the power supply bridge 4 and the fixing hole 5, the battery 3 is installed inside and connected to the power supply bridge 4 to power each device. The control host 6 performs self-inspection on the system and controls the device to move along the specified route. The binocular camera 12 and the laser radar 11 cooperate with each other to detect the road conditions, transmit the road data to the control host 6, and then control the motor 7 to drive the wheel 8 to move. The camera 10 and the infrared camera 9 on the cover 2 cooperate with each other to take pictures of the inspected facilities and transmit the data to the control host 6. The control host 6 recognizes the photos. At the same time, the equipment carried inside the shell 1 interacts with the inspected facilities through the network at the software level, and confirms the inspection effect for the second time. When the power is about to run out, open the cover 2 and replace the internal battery 3. Usually two or more batteries 3 are installed inside. When replacing the battery, the batteries 3 are replaced in sequence to ensure that the equipment is not disconnected during the battery replacement process, saving time and improving the inspection efficiency.

[0021] To sum up, the traffic Internet of Things infrastructure blind inspection terminal device, through the internal modular design, allows each component to be freely combined and placed in it, which improves the maintainability and scalability of the equipment. Since each module has an independent function, when a module has a problem, only the module needs to be repaired or replaced, without modifying the entire system. In addition, if new functions need to be added, only the new module needs to be selected and added to the system, without the need to redesign the entire system. The modular design also allows the device to support personalized customization. Different types of equipment can be carried and replaced for different inspection scenarios and inspection times, so that the inspection efficiency can be maximized. The battery 3 can be easily replaced by the power bridge 4 built into the housing 1. Each side of the power bridge 4 can provide power. After the modular equipment is installed, the respective protrusions cooperate with the power bridge 4 to achieve unified power supply for various types of equipment. The power supply equipment and the power-consuming equipment are connected through the power bridge 4. The connection process is quick and easy. Multiple batteries 3 can be connected to the power bridge 4 at the same time for power supply. When the power is about to run out and the battery 3 needs to be replaced, the replacement in sequence can ensure that the entire equipment is not disconnected. After the battery 3 is replaced, the subsequent inspection work can be carried out quickly, which greatly saves time and cost. Through the cooperation of four motors 7 and wheel sets and the front laser radar 11 and visual camera 10, the unmanned autonomous driving and inspection of the equipment can be realized. The camera 10 and infrared camera 9 that can rotate in all directions are arranged above the equipment, which ensures that normal inspection can be achieved even in rainy days and dim light environments. In addition to visual inspection, various gateway devices equipped inside will also continuously contact the inspected equipment during the inspection, and conduct secondary inspections at the software level to ensure the accuracy of the inspection results.
