Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inspection robots, in particular to an infrared temperature measurement component of an inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] An inspection robot is a robot capable of autonomously inspecting, testing, and monitoring the operating status of equipment. A key component of the inspection robot is its infrared temperature measurement module, which uses infrared temperature sensors to measure the temperature of equipment. This non-contact temperature measurement method significantly improves inspection efficiency and accuracy while also avoiding the potential safety risks associated with direct contact with equipment. In power systems, inspection robots use infrared temperature measurement modules to detect the temperature of power equipment and transmit the data in real time to a 3D GIS system. The GIS system can then correlate and analyze this data with the equipment's geographic location and historical operating data, enabling comprehensive monitoring of power equipment and fault warnings.

[0003] However, the infrared temperature measurement components of current inspection robots are exposed to the air and have no special shielding mechanism for protection. Therefore, when not in use, they cannot effectively isolate the infrared temperature measurement components from the environment. Especially in an environment with high humidity, the infrared temperature measurement components are easily affected by adverse factors such as moisture and pollution, thereby shortening their service life and even affecting their measurement accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an infrared temperature measuring component for an inspection robot, which can protect the infrared thermometer of the inspection robot when not in use, thereby avoiding the risks that may be caused by direct contact with the equipment.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an infrared temperature measurement component of an inspection robot, comprising a protective box fixedly installed on the top of the inspection robot, a top opening being set on the top of the protective box, a connecting plate being set inside the protective box, and the connecting plate being driven up and down by a lifting mechanism set in the protective box, an infrared thermometer being installed on the upper side of the connecting plate, two sets of covers being provided on the top of the protective box, and two sets of telescopic mechanisms being provided on the outside of the protective box, the telescopic ends of the telescopic mechanisms being connected to the covers, and the covers being driven to move to the upper side of the top opening or away from the top opening position by the telescopic mechanism.

[0006] In the preferred solution, the lifting mechanism includes a double-output shaft motor arranged in a protective box, the two output shaft ends of the double-output shaft motor are connected to the rotating shaft, and the two sets of rotating shafts are provided with a first bevel gear. The lower ends of the two sets of vertically arranged screws are rotatably installed in the protective box, and the lower ends of the screws are provided with a second bevel gear that meshes with the first bevel gear, and the connecting plate is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the screw.

[0007] In a preferred solution, two support plates are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the protective box, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the support plates.

[0008] In a preferred solution, the telescopic mechanism is an electric telescopic rod.

[0009] In the preferred solution, a plurality of cylinders are provided in the protective box, which are laterally installed on the side wall of the protective box, with the opening of the cylinder facing the outside of the protective box, a plurality of air holes are provided on the cylinder wall, a sealing cover is provided at the open end of the cylinder, and a desiccant is filled in the cylinder.

[0010] In a preferred solution, an internal thread is provided on the inner side of the open end of the cylinder, and an external thread matching the internal thread of the cylinder is provided on the outer side of the sealing cover.

[0011] The utility model provides an infrared temperature measurement component for an inspection robot, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. In this component, the inspection robot and the infrared thermometer are used in conjunction, so that the temperature of the objects to be inspected can be measured by non-contact temperature measurement, which improves the efficiency and safety of the inspection and avoids the risks that may be caused by direct contact with the equipment. The infrared thermometer can be stored in the protective box through the lifting mechanism, and can also be moved out from the top opening of the protective box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an infrared temperature measurement component of an inspection robot includes a protective box 1 fixedly installed on the top of the inspection robot 15, the protective box 1 is provided with a top opening 101, a connecting plate 2 is provided inside the protective box 1, the connecting plate 2 is driven up and down by a lifting mechanism provided in the protective box 1, an infrared thermometer 3 is installed on the upper side of the connecting plate 2, two groups of blocking covers 13 are provided on the top of the protective box 1, and two groups of telescopic mechanisms are provided on the outside of the protective box 1 corresponding to the two groups of blocking covers. The telescopic mechanism is horizontally arranged, and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism is connected to the blocking cover 13. In order to facilitate the connection with the telescopic mechanism, the blocking cover 13 is arranged as a horizontally arranged "L"-shaped structure, and the two groups of blocking covers 13 are driven by the telescopic mechanism to move toward or away from each other, and the two groups of blocking covers 13 are moved to the upper side of the top opening 101 or away from the top opening 101 to realize the opening or closing of the top opening 101.

[0022] The lifting mechanism can be a vertically arranged electric telescopic rod. In this embodiment, Figures 1-3 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a double-output shaft motor 7 arranged in a protective box 1, and the two output shaft ends of the double-output shaft motor 7 are connected to the rotating shaft 8, the rotating shaft 8 is arranged horizontally, and the two groups of rotating shafts 8 are provided with a first bevel gear 10. The lower ends of the two groups of vertically arranged screws 9 are rotatably installed in the protective box 1, and the two groups of screws 9 are respectively arranged at the ends of the rotating shafts 8. The lower end of the screw 9 is provided with a second bevel gear 11 meshing with the first bevel gear 10, and the connecting plate 2 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the screw 9.

[0023] Preferably, two support plates 14 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the protective box 1. The two support plates 14 are arranged corresponding to the two sets of rotating shafts 8. The rotating shafts 8 are rotatably mounted on the support plates 14 through bearings. The support plates 14 can provide a good support effect on the rotating shafts 8, making the rotation of the rotating shafts 8 more stable and less likely to cause shaking problems.

[0024] The lifting mechanism is used to lift the infrared thermometer 3. In this embodiment, when in use, the double-output shaft motor 7 is started, and the double-output shaft motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. The rotating shaft 8 drives the first bevel gear 10 to rotate. The first bevel gear 10 drives the second bevel gear 11 to rotate, driving the screw 9 to rotate synchronously. The screw 9 drives the connecting plate 2 to move vertically, and then the infrared thermometer 3 can be put into the protective box 1 or the infrared thermometer 3 can be moved out from the top opening 101.

[0025] In this embodiment, the telescopic mechanism is an electric telescopic rod 12. When in use, the electric telescopic rod 12 is activated, which drives the cover 13 to move horizontally, so that the cover 13 blocks the top opening 101. Once blocked, the infrared thermometer 3 is effectively isolated from the environment, preventing dust, moisture, etc. from entering the protective box 1 and protecting the infrared thermometer 3. When the electric telescopic rod 12 extends outward, the cover 13 releases the cover from the top opening 101, allowing the infrared thermometer 3 in the protective box 1 to be raised or lowered.

[0026] It should be noted that, at present, the infrared temperature measurement components of the inspection robot are exposed to the air and there is no special shielding mechanism for protection. Therefore, when not in use, the infrared temperature measurement components cannot be effectively isolated from the environment. Especially in an environment with high humidity, the infrared temperature measurement components are easily affected by adverse factors such as moisture and pollution, thereby shortening their service life and even affecting their measurement accuracy.

[0027] In the solution, during the operation of the inspection robot 15, the infrared thermometer 3 can measure the temperature of the objects that need to be inspected by a non-contact temperature measurement method, which improves the efficiency and safety of the inspection and avoids the risks that may be caused by direct contact with the equipment. After the inspection work is completed, the lifting mechanism can be used to drive the connecting plate 2 to move vertically, and the connecting plate 2 drives the infrared thermometer 3 to move vertically, so that the infrared thermometer 3 can be put into the protective box 1. Then the electric telescopic rod 12 will drive the cover 13 to move horizontally, so that the cover 13 covers the top opening 101. After covering, it can effectively isolate the infrared thermometer 3 from the external environment and prevent dust, moisture, etc. from entering the inside of the protective box 1.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Different from Example 1, Figure 1 and 4As shown, the protective box 1 is provided with a plurality of cylinders 4, which are made of stainless steel. The cylinders 4 are horizontally installed on the side wall of the protective box 1, with the opening of the cylinder 4 facing the outside of the protective box 1. A plurality of air holes 401 are provided on the wall of the cylinder 4, and the diameter of the air holes 401 is not less than 1 mm. A sealing cover 5 is provided at the open end of the cylinder 4. Specifically, an internal thread is provided on the inner side of the open end of the cylinder 4, and an external thread is provided on the outer side of the sealing cover 5 to match the internal thread of the cylinder 4. The cylinder 4 is filled with a desiccant 6.

[0030] A handle is provided on one side of the sealing cap 5, on which a soft sleeve is fixedly mounted. The soft sleeve is made of rubber and has good elasticity and flexibility, which can improve the operator's hand comfort and grip, making the operator more comfortable when turning the handle. The handle makes it easy for the operator to remove the sealing cap 5 from the cylinder 4. During removal, simply rotating the handle will slowly disengage the threads on the sealing cap 5 from the cylinder 4. After disengagement, the desiccant 6 inside the cylinder 4 can be easily replaced.

[0031] Under the action of multiple air holes 401, the desiccant 6 can absorb moisture entering the protective box 1, keeping the internal environment dry, so that the infrared thermometer 3 can be placed in a relatively dry environment when not in use, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the infrared thermometer 3 and achieving better use effect.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. The embodiments and features therein may be arbitrarily combined unless they conflict. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be the technical solutions described in the claims, including equivalent alternatives to the technical features of the technical solutions described in the claims. Equivalent alternatives and improvements within this scope are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
