Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electromechanical engineering, is applied to an inclinometer robot, and particularly relates to a power supply device for improving the measurement accuracy of the inclinometer robot. Background Art

[0002] In the practice and safety monitoring system of modern hydropower projects, deep horizontal displacement monitoring of dams and slopes is a key link to ensure structural stability. Traditionally, this monitoring task relies on manually operated inclinometers, which are buried in boreholes at preset depths and then regularly deployed to collect data. However, this method has significant limitations: first, the monitoring efficiency is low and real-time data feedback cannot be achieved; second, the long measurement and analysis cycle limits the ability to respond and predict structural deformation immediately, increasing the lag in identifying safety hazards.

[0003] In response to the above challenges, the development of automated inclinometer technology has become an important way to improve monitoring efficiency. Among them, fixed inclinometers, as an automation attempt, attempt to solve the limitations of manual monitoring by permanently placing the instrument in the inclinometer tube and connecting it to the automatic acquisition system. However, this method also has its inherent defects, including data reliability issues caused by the lack of manual verification, and high maintenance costs caused by the need to replace the entire set once the sensor is damaged, which constitutes a clear shortcoming in terms of economy and practicality.

[0004] In view of this, the market demand for more efficient, flexible and economical automated inclinometer solutions is becoming increasingly urgent. The concept of inclinometer robots came into being, such as the "Fully Automatic Inclinometer Robot for Water Conservancy Projects" shown in patent CN202122418387.0, which aims to automatically perform inclinometer tasks at different depths without human intervention through an automatic lifting mechanism driven by an electric winch, greatly improving the continuity and real-time nature of monitoring. However, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of such robots in practical applications, there are still two major technical challenges: First, there are extremely high requirements for the consistency and reset accuracy of inclinometer depth control, and any slight deviation may affect the accuracy of the measurement results; second, the quality of the external power supply, especially the voltage and frequency fluctuations of the alternating current, constitutes a potential interference to the stable operation of the drive motor and the data acquisition accuracy of the inclinometer probe, further restricting the performance optimization of the inclinometer robot.

[0005] To sum up, although the current inclinometer robot technology has taken a key step towards automation and intelligence, it still needs innovative breakthroughs and technological upgrades in ensuring measurement accuracy, improving power supply adaptability and optimizing system stability to fully meet the urgent needs for high-precision and high-efficiency monitoring of hydropower projects.

[0006] Based on the current status of the background technology, the purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem of measurement accuracy deviation of the inclinometer robot caused by poor external power quality, and therefore proposes a power supply device for improving the measurement accuracy of the inclinometer robot. The utility model introduces a battery and related control components on the basis of an external AC power supply, so that the inclinometer robot performs inclinometer operation under DC power supply, effectively avoiding the negative effects caused by unstable AC voltage and frequency, and smoothly improving the measurement accuracy.

[0020] In the actual observation process, through command control, the utility model can cut off the connection with the AC power supply before observation, eliminating the risk of AC power instability, and switch to a stable and reliable battery DC power supply mode. This conversion mechanism effectively isolates the interference of external power grid fluctuations on the high-sensitivity motor and detection elements inside the inclinometer robot, greatly improving the accuracy and consistency of the inclinometer data and meeting the millimeter-level accuracy requirements.

[0021] Moreover, after the observation is completed, the power supply device can restore the access to the AC power supply to efficiently charge the battery, which not only ensures the energy reserve for the next round of observation, but also makes full use of the non-observation period for energy replenishment, thus optimizing energy management. Combined with the communication interface and control interface integrated in the control box, the interaction capability with the outside can be enhanced, ensuring the precise control of the power supply to the motor and probe, thereby improving the automation and operation efficiency of the entire inclinometer process.

[0022] The utility model overcomes the limitations of the existing technology through a dual-mode power supply strategy, provides a more reliable automated monitoring method for slope and dam monitoring in hydropower projects and other fields, and has technological progress and practical value based on full consideration of upgrading and operation and maintenance costs.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiment of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a power supply device for improving the measurement accuracy of an inclinometer robot includes a main control board, an AC power input interface, and a DC power charge and discharge interface. The main control board is connected to the inclinometer robot, and the main control board is built into a control box; the main control board is connected to the AC power input interface and the DC power charge and discharge interface, respectively, the AC power input interface is connected to an external AC power supply, and the DC power charge and discharge interface is connected to a battery.

[0029] During the observation process of the inclinometer operation, when no observation is being performed, the entire device and the inclinometer robot are powered by an external AC power supply; when observation is being performed, the entire device and the inclinometer robot are powered by a battery. The battery provides a stable DC power supply to the outside.

[0030] In this embodiment, the power supply device can ensure stable and efficient operation under complex working conditions through a dual-source power supply architecture and a matching power management method. Among them, the main control board, as the core control device for realizing the inclinometer operation, can integrate a high-performance microprocessor and carry corresponding algorithms to coordinate the seamless switching between the external AC power supply and the battery, while monitoring the battery status, controlling the energy flow, and realizing precise data exchange and command transmission with the inclinometer robot, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the operation. The design of the main control board, the selection of the microprocessor therein, the matching of the algorithm, etc. can all be carried out according to the actual performance requirements, and belong to the mature technology in this field, which will not be repeated here.

[0031] The AC power input interface provides power support for system standby, maintenance and battery charging during non-observation periods. The interface can also be equipped with corresponding filtering and voltage stabilization modules to improve the quality of AC power as much as possible, so that it can ensure the stability of input power under grid fluctuation conditions and extend the service life of the entire system components.

[0032] The DC power charging and discharging interface is matched with the corresponding battery, which can not only provide continuous and stable DC power for the inclinometer robot during the observation period, but also has intelligent charging and discharging management functions under the control of the main control board, ensuring that the battery is always in the best working condition. The application of batteries effectively isolates AC noise and creates the necessary conditions for a high-precision measurement environment.

[0033] In addition to meeting the needs of a high-precision measurement environment, the application of batteries in this embodiment also maximizes the use of electrical energy resources, which can extend the time of on-site inclinometer operations and reduce dependence on external AC power supplies, thereby improving overall operating efficiency and system autonomy.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the main control board is also connected to a power control board, which is respectively connected to an AC power input interface and a DC power charge and discharge interface; a power supply line and a control line are provided between the power control board and the main control board.

[0035] In this embodiment, the coordinated work of the main control board and the power control board further optimizes the intelligence and safety of the power supply device. The power control board is the key intermediary between the main control board and the two types of power interfaces.

[0036] The power control board can integrate integrated circuit design and protection mechanism, and is responsible for accurately controlling the connection and disconnection of AC power and DC power (battery) according to the instructions issued by the main control board. This design can achieve fast and smooth switching of power supply, and dynamically adjust the power supply strategy according to the actual task requirements of the inclinometer operation to ensure efficient and stable power supply.

[0037] In this embodiment, the power supply circuit and the control circuit between the power control board and the main control board are separated. The power control board can exchange information with the main control board through the control circuit while maintaining the power supply of the main control board, thereby monitoring the two types of power supply states, including whether the voltage and current are normal, and whether there are abnormal conditions such as overload and short circuit. Once a safety hazard is detected, an alarm can be sent to the main control board through the control circuit, and protective measures can be quickly taken, such as cutting off the faulty circuit, etc., thereby effectively preventing damage to the entire power supply device and enhancing the operational safety of the inclinometer robot.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the main control board is also connected to a communication board, a power supply line is provided between the power control board and the communication board, and a command line is provided between the main control board and the communication board. The communication board is also connected to an external acquisition controller, and the external acquisition controller has built-in observation start command components and observation end command components.

[0039] In this embodiment, the setting of the communication board further improves the intelligent communication and control architecture of the inclinometer robot, and its core role is to ensure efficient and stable information exchange and command transmission. The communication board serves as a bridge between the main control board and the external acquisition controller. It forwards the relevant instructions from the external acquisition controller to the main control board through the command line, ensuring that the automation process of the inclinometer operation can be smoothly implemented in the power supply switching of the power supply device management office.

[0040] The built-in observation start command component and observation end command component of the external acquisition controller can automatically trigger the corresponding control command based on the preset inclinometer operation plan or the analysis results of the monitored data, and transmit it back to the main control board through the communication board to coordinate the state of the inclinometer robot and the switching of the power supply. This method not only improves the operation efficiency, but also can flexibly adjust the observation strategy according to the actual situation and optimize resource allocation.

[0041] The communication board can directly adopt mature standardized designs in this field, making it compatible with a variety of external acquisition controllers, and can also facilitate the application expansion and system upgrade of the inclinometer robot. The standardized communication protocol used can ensure the compatibility and long-term maintainability of the inclinometer robot in different projects and environments.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the main control board, power control board and communication board are all built into the control box, and the AC power input interface and DC power charging and discharging interface are both set on the surface of the control box. At the same time, the main control board is connected to the inclinometer robot through the control interface set on the surface of the control box, and the communication board is connected to the external acquisition controller through the communication interface set on the surface of the control box.

[0043] The control box is the embodiment of the integrated design of this embodiment, which integrates the key components of the power supply device into a compact and efficient control unit. This design not only simplifies the complexity of device installation and maintenance, but also effectively reduces external wiring and improves the reliability and aesthetics of the device.

[0044] Reasonable settings of various interfaces on the surface of the control box can take into account the convenience and safety of actual operation during layout design. Users can intuitively identify and connect the corresponding power cables, communication cables, control cables, etc., and quickly complete the device connection and debugging. The shell design of the control box should also take into account the use requirements of harsh outdoor environments, and use dustproof and waterproof materials and corresponding structures to ensure that the internal electronic components are protected from external environmental factors, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the device and the stability of long-term operation.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inclinometer robot includes a drive motor and an inclinometer probe; the main control board is connected to the drive motor and the inclinometer probe respectively. The drive motor is used to control the rotation of the cable winch of the inclinometer robot, so that the inclinometer probe can move up and down along the inclinometer tube and stop moving when reaching a set depth; after the inclinometer probe is stable, the observation process can be started, and the observation data can be transmitted back to the main control board.

[0046] Through the structure and functional characteristics of the power supply device of this embodiment, after it is applied to the inclinometer robot, the process of power supply control can be referred to Figure 2 The specific instructions are as follows:

[0047] S1. Instruction issuance and response: When the external acquisition controller sends an observation start instruction to the communication board in the control box through the communication interface, the instruction is first received by the communication board and quickly forwarded to the main control board. After receiving the instruction, the main control board immediately responds and sends a control signal to the power control board through the control line.

[0048] S2. Power mode switching: According to the instructions of the main control board, the power control board first closes the AC power input interface and cuts off the AC power supply from the outside to avoid the influence of power grid fluctuations during the observation process. Then, the power control board opens the DC power charging and discharging interface, activates the battery, and provides stable DC power for the entire inclinometer robot, including its drive motor and inclinometer probe.

[0049] S3. Observation operation execution: With the DC power supply connected, the main control board starts the drive motor, and the inclinometer probe moves up and down in the inclinometer tube according to the preset conditions to perform depth-related horizontal displacement measurement. The inclinometer data is continuously monitored and returned to the main control board.

[0050] S4. Observation end and power recovery: When the observation task is completed, the external acquisition controller sends an observation termination command to the main control board through the communication interface. After receiving the command, the main control board again instructs the power control board to stop discharging the battery through the control line, and reopens the AC power input interface, allowing the external AC power supply to charge the device and the battery, preparing for the next observation cycle.

[0051] Through the structural characteristics of the above-mentioned power supply device and the corresponding intelligent operation process, the utility model not only effectively improves the measurement accuracy and operating efficiency of the inclinometer robot, but also optimizes energy management, ensures the long-term stable operation and maintenance simplicity of the inclinometer operation, and brings technical improvements with practical application significance to the inclinometer monitoring work in hydropower engineering and other related fields.
