[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an acoustic positioning imager, including a support frame 1 and an imager body 7. The bottom of the support frame 1 is fixedly installed with multiple sets of walking wheels 2. The top of the support frame 1 is fixedly installed with a height adjustment mechanism 3 for adjusting the height of the imager body 7. The top of the height adjustment mechanism 3 is fixedly installed with multiple sets of uprights 4. The top of the uprights 4 is fixedly installed with a rotation adjustment mechanism 5 for adjusting the rotation of the imager body 7. The top of the rotation adjustment mechanism 5 is rotatably connected to the imager body 7 through an angle adjustment mechanism 6. The angle adjustment mechanism 6 is used to adjust the pitch angle of the imager body 7.
[0018] The support frame 1 and the wheels 2 can move the entire device. The position of the imager body 7 can be adjusted according to the height of the substation to be detected. When the position of the imager body 7 is adjusted, the height adjustment mechanism 3 can adjust the height of the imager body 7. The rotation adjustment mechanism 5 can rotate the imager body 7, and the angle adjustment mechanism 6 can adjust the pitch angle of the imager body 7. In this way, the imager body 7, which can be adjusted at multiple angles, can capture data from all directions of the substation.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The height adjustment mechanism 3 includes a threaded rod 10, a slide rail 11, a slider 12, and a pull rod 17. The top of the support frame 1 is rotatably connected to a fixed sleeve 9 via a rotating seat 8. The threaded rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed sleeve 9. The threaded rod 10 is externally threaded to a first threaded sleeve 14. An installation block 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the first threaded sleeve 14. The upright 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the first threaded sleeve 14. Two sets of slide rails 11 are fixedly connected to the support frame 1. A slider 12 is slidably connected to the slide rail 11. A first hinge seat 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the slider 12. A pull rod 17 is hinged to the first hinge seat 13. The top of the pull rod 17 is hinged to the installation block 15 via a second hinge seat 16.
[0020] When the height of the imager body 7 needs to be adjusted, the rotating fixed sleeve 9 and the threaded rod 10 rotate along the rotating seat 8. The rotating threaded rod 10 can drive the first threaded sleeve 14 and the mounting block 15 to move up and down. The moving mounting block 15 can push the pull rod 17 and the slider 12 to move along the slide rail 11, thus pushing the upright 4 to move up and down.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating adjustment mechanism 5 includes a top plate 18, a drive motor 19, a rotating plate 20, and a support frame 21. The top plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the upright 4, the drive motor 19 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate 18, the output end of the drive motor 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 20, the top of the rotating plate 20 is fixedly installed on the top, a limiting groove 26 is formed on the outside of the top plate 18, two sets of connecting plates 27 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating plate 20, and a limiting block 28 that fits into the limiting groove 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting plate 27.
[0022] When the angle of the imager body 7 needs to be adjusted, the drive motor 19 operates, which can drive the rotating plate 20 to rotate. This allows the imager body 7 installed inside the support frame 21 to be angled. During angle adjustment, the limiting block 28 and the limiting groove 26 can provide limiting support, thus preventing the imager body 7 from shifting and shaking when the rotating plate 20 rotates.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The angle adjustment mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 22, a positioning plate 23, a second threaded sleeve 24, and a locking bolt 25. The imager body 7 is rotatably connected to the support frame 21 via the rotating shaft 22. The positioning plate 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the imager body 7. The second threaded sleeve 24 is fixedly installed on the support frame 21. The locking bolt 25 is threadedly connected inside the second threaded sleeve 24. One end of the locking bolt 25 is in contact with the positioning plate 23.
[0024] When it is necessary to adjust the pitch angle of the imager body 7, rotate the locking bolt 25 to move the locking bolt 25 along the inside of the second threaded sleeve 24, so that the locking bolt 25 is disengaged from the positioning plate 23. This will push the imager body 7 to rotate along the rotating shaft 22. After the rotation is completed, the locking bolt 25 can contact the positioning plate 23, and the repositioning of the imager body 7 can be completed.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support frame 1, upright 4, tie rod 17, top plate 18, rotating plate 20 and support frame 21 are made of rigid materials. The use of rigid materials to manufacture components can increase the service life of the entire device to a certain extent.
[0026] In use, the support frame 1 and the wheels 2 first move the entire device. Then, the position of the imager body 7 is adjusted according to the height of the substation to be detected. During this adjustment, the height adjustment mechanism 3 adjusts the height of the imager body 7. The rotation adjustment mechanism 5 then rotates the imager body 7, and the angle adjustment mechanism 6 adjusts the pitch angle. This multi-angle position adjustment allows the imager body 7 to capture data from all directions of the substation. When the height of the imager body 7 needs adjustment, the rotating fixed sleeve 9 and the threaded rod 10 rotate along the rotating seat 8. The rotating threaded rod 10 then moves the first threaded sleeve 14 and the mounting block 15 up and down. The moving mounting block 15 then pushes the pull rod 17 and the slider 12 along... The slide rail 11 moves, which pushes the upright 4 to move up and down. When the angle of the imager body 7 needs to be adjusted, the drive motor 19 operates, which drives the rotating plate 20 to rotate. This allows the imager body 7, which is installed inside the support frame 21, to be angled. During angle adjustment, the limiting block 28 and the limiting groove 26 provide limiting support, which prevents the rotating plate 20 from causing the imager body 7 to shift or shake. When the pitch angle of the imager body 7 needs to be adjusted, the locking bolt 25 is rotated, which moves the locking bolt 25 along the inside of the second threaded sleeve 24, disengaging the locking bolt 25 from the positioning plate 23. This pushes the imager body 7 to rotate along the rotating shaft 22. After the rotation is completed, the locking bolt 25 contacts the positioning plate 23, thus completing the repositioning of the imager body 7.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
