Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power cable technology, specifically to a power cable warning post that can achieve large-scale inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Cable marker posts, also known as power cable warning posts, marker posts, natural gas marker posts, and vertical marker posts for passageways, are commonly used as directional signs and warning signs for power, communication, gas, water supply, and railway pipeline routes. They are also used in busy urban areas, scenic spots, green belts, shrubbery, and along pipeline routes on both sides of pipe jacking projects to remind pedestrians or nearby construction workers to stay away.

[0003] Currently used traditional power cable warning posts mostly only serve a warning function and cannot promptly detect and warn of damage caused by human factors, such as construction damage to underground cables or intentional damage to underground cables. By the time staff discover and take measures, the damage has often already occurred. Furthermore, the inability to remotely monitor cables near the warning posts results in a monitoring area that is too small to promptly photograph and collect evidence of intentional damage, leading to a lack of evidence in subsequent accountability processes. In addition, existing cable posts lack rain protection, causing the warning strips and lighting areas around the posts to be easily damaged over time, reducing their lifespan. Moreover, because cable posts are not easily identifiable at night, they are frequently damaged or ignored. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, this utility model provides a power cable warning post that can realize large-scale inspection, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A power cable warning post capable of large-scale inspection is provided, comprising a warning post body vertically installed on the ground. A signal transmission pipe is installed inside the warning post body, with its lower end extending to the cable section. Multiple monitoring components are distributed and installed on the cable section. The monitoring components include vibration sensors and locators, which generate monitoring signals when the warning post body is subjected to impact or when abnormal vibration is detected in the nearby cable section. The warning post body is equipped with a placement chamber and an automatically opening and closing electronic door. The placement chamber contains a drone for remotely monitoring the location of abnormal vibration in the nearby cable section and for receiving monitoring signals from the vibration sensors and locators. The microcontroller connects the electronic compartment door to the drone's output. A camera is mounted on the warning post, and a data transmitter and timer are installed inside the signal transmission pipe. The camera captures real-time images of the area around the warning post, and the data transmitter uploads the camera's data periodically according to the timer. The drone is connected to the data transmitter's input. When the warning post is impacted or abnormal vibrations are detected in nearby cables, the vibration sensor triggers the drone and data transmitter. The camera and drone then inspect the surrounding area, while the data transmitter uploads the surrounding image data, enabling monitoring personnel to promptly detect any abnormalities near the warning post.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer wall of the warning post is provided with a lighting area, a lettering area and a warning area from top to bottom. A support column is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end face of the warning post. A rain-shielding device is installed on the upper end face of the support column. The rain-shielding device includes a top plate. The lower end face of the top plate is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the support column. Inclined baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate. The included angle between the two inclined baffles and the top plate is 45 degrees.

[0007] Furthermore, an adjustable lighting lamp is installed on the outer wall of the lighting area, and a sun-protective film is attached to the outer wall of the lighting lamp.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the font area is coated with reflective paint and warning signs are written on it.

[0009] Furthermore, an alarm is installed on the warning area, and the alarm is connected to the output of the vibration sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, a solar panel is installed at the upper end of the top plate, and a backup battery is also installed inside the warning post.

[0011] Furthermore, the warning post is equipped with a light sensor and a supplementary light. The light sensor is connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller, and the output terminal of the microcontroller is connected to the lighting lamp and the supplementary light respectively. The supplementary light is set to be aimed at the camera.

[0012] Furthermore, the data transmitter is wirelessly connected to an external monitoring terminal via a wireless network.

[0013] This utility model of a power cable warning post involves installing multiple monitoring components on the cable section and setting up a camera on the warning post. The camera captures the surrounding environment of the warning post in real time. When the warning post is impacted or abnormal vibrations are detected in the nearby cable section, the vibration sensor triggers a drone and a data transmitter to inspect the surrounding area. At the same time, the data transmitter uploads the surrounding image data, enabling monitoring personnel to promptly detect and stop any abnormalities near the warning post, preventing further damage. In addition, the remote shooting by the drone enables remote monitoring of the cable near the warning post, expanding the monitoring area and allowing for timely photographic evidence of deliberate damage.

[0014] By installing a rain-shielding device, the top plate and the inclined plates work together to block rainwater. At the same time, when rainwater drips onto the upper surface of the top plate, it falls to the ground through the inclined plates on both sides, preventing it from accumulating on the top plate. This protects the power cable warning post itself and extends its service life. The lighting provides a bright light, making the warning effect obvious and preventing the cable post from being damaged or ignored at night because it is not easily identifiable. The lettering area is painted with warning slogans, providing a clear visual contrast and making the reminder more eye-catching and effective. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and some embodiments.

[0020] exist Figure 1-3This invention provides a power cable warning post capable of wide-area inspection, comprising a vertically installed warning post body 1, an internal signal transmission pipe 2 extending to a cable section 201, and multiple monitoring components distributed on the cable section 201, including a vibration sensor 3 and a locator 4. These components generate monitoring signals when the warning post body 1 is subjected to impact or when abnormal vibration is detected in a nearby cable section 201. The warning post body 1 is equipped with a placement chamber 5 and an automatically opening and closing electronic door 6. The placement chamber 5 contains a drone 7 for remotely monitoring locations of abnormal vibration in the nearby cable section 201, and a microcontroller 8 for receiving monitoring signals from the vibration sensor 3 and the locator 4. The door 6 and the drone 7 are connected to the output of the microcontroller 8. In use, when the warning post 1 is impacted or abnormal vibration is detected in the nearby cable section 201, the vibration sensor 3 generates a vibration signal and transmits it to the microcontroller 8. Through signal conversion by the microcontroller 8, the electronic door 6 is opened and the drone 7 flies out, allowing the camera 9 carried by the drone 7 to inspect the area around the nearby cable section 201. With the remote shooting of the drone 7, remote monitoring of the cable near the cable warning post can be achieved, expanding the monitoring area and enabling timely photographic evidence of deliberate damage. The inspection range of this device is limited according to the flight range of the drone 7. As the drone 7 is a common existing technology, those skilled in the art should know it and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] In this embodiment, a camera 9 is installed on the warning post 1, and a data transmitter 901 and a timer 10 are installed inside the signal transmission pipe 2. The camera 9 is used to capture the surrounding environment of the warning post 1 in real time. The data transmitter 901 uploads the captured data from the camera 9 at regular intervals according to the timer 10. The drone 7 is connected to the input terminal of the data transmitter 901. When the warning post 1 is subjected to a collision or impact or when abnormal vibration is detected in the nearby cable section 201, the vibration sensor 3 will trigger the drone 7 and the data transmitter 901. The camera 9 and the drone 7 will then inspect the surrounding area, and the data transmitter 901 will simultaneously transmit the surrounding data. Image data upload facilitates timely detection of abnormalities near the warning post 1 by monitoring personnel. During use, camera 9 captures real-time images of the area around the warning post 1. When the warning post 1 is impacted or abnormal vibrations are detected in the nearby cable section 201, vibration sensor 3 triggers data transmitter 901, causing camera 9 to inspect the surrounding area. Simultaneously, data transmitter 901 uploads the surrounding image data, enabling monitoring personnel to promptly detect and stop any abnormalities near the warning post 1, preventing further damage. In this embodiment, camera 9 is a four-channel camera, capable of panoramic video and image capture around the warning post 1, resulting in a more comprehensive and clearer picture.

[0022] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the warning post 1 is provided with an illumination area, a lettering area, and a warning area from top to bottom. A support column is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end face of the warning post 1. A rain-shielding device is installed on the upper end face of the support column. The rain-shielding device includes a top plate 11. The lower end face of the top plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the support column. Inclined flow plates 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top plate 11. The angle between the two inclined flow plates 12 and the top plate 11 is 45 degrees. By setting the rain-shielding device, the top plate 11 and the inclined flow plates 12 work together to block rainwater. At the same time, when rainwater drips onto the upper end face of the top plate 11, it falls to the ground through the inclined flow plates 12 on both sides and does not accumulate on the top plate 11, thereby protecting the cable post itself and extending its service life.

[0023] In this embodiment, an adjustable lighting lamp 14 is installed on the outer wall of the lighting area, and a sun-protective film is attached to the outer wall of the lighting lamp 14. The lighting lamp 14 is an energy-saving LED lamp, and the surface of the lighting lamp 14 is covered with a sun-protective film, which saves energy and is environmentally friendly, while also improving the service life of the lighting lamp 14.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the font area is coated with reflective paint to write warning signs 19, making the warning signs 19 on the warning post 1 more eye-catching and improving the warning effect.

[0025] In this embodiment, an alarm 15 is installed on the warning area, and the alarm 15 is connected to the output terminal of the vibration sensor 3. The alarm 15 can sound an alarm when the warning post 1 is violently impacted, thereby scaring away nearby dogs, sheep, cattle and other livestock, reducing the damage of livestock to the cable post and improving its service life.

[0026] In this embodiment, a solar panel 13 is provided at the upper end of the top plate 11, and a backup battery 18 is also provided inside the warning post 1. The solar panel 13 can convert solar energy into electrical energy. A transformer and a storage battery are provided inside the warning post 1. After the voltage is adjusted by the transformer, the converted electrical energy can be stored in the storage battery. The storage battery provides power to the lighting lamp 14 and the alarm 15.

[0027] In this embodiment, the warning post 1 is equipped with a light sensor 16 and a supplementary light 17. The light sensor 16 is connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller 8, and the output terminal of the microcontroller 8 is connected to the lighting lamp 14 and the supplementary light 17 respectively. The supplementary light 17 is positioned to face the camera 9. The light sensor 16 detects the light intensity. At night, the lighting lamp 14 emits light, which has a clear warning effect and prevents the cable post from being damaged or ignored at night because it cannot be well identified. At the same time, the supplementary light 17 increases the brightness of the shooting environment of the camera 9, making the photos clearer.

[0028] In this embodiment, the data transmitter 901 is wirelessly connected to an external monitoring terminal via a wireless network; the camera 9 and the drone 7 inspect the surrounding area, and at the same time, the data transmitter 901 uploads the surrounding image data to the external monitoring terminal of the management department via the wireless network, so that the monitoring personnel can promptly detect abnormalities near the warning post 1 and stop them in time to avoid further expansion of losses. In addition, with the remote shooting of the drone 7, remote monitoring of the cables near the cable warning post can be realized, expanding the monitoring area and enabling timely photographic evidence of deliberate damage.
