[0019] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided in detail.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 This utility model discloses a security monitoring device for a computer room, comprising an I-beam track 1 installed on the ceiling of the computer room, with a patrol monitoring device suspended on the I-beam track 1. As shown in the figure, the I-beam track 1 is a straight track, typically installed and fixed in the middle of the ceiling of the computer room 1. Directly below the I-beam track 1 is a passageway within the computer room, with equipment cabinets installed on both sides of the passageway, and computer room facilities installed inside the cabinets. The patrol monitoring device, during its reciprocating movement along the I-beam track 1, performs security monitoring of the environment within the computer room and the equipment inside the cabinets, promptly detecting external intrusion and equipment malfunctions.

[0021] The inspection and monitoring device includes a chassis 4, inside which a travel drive assembly 2 is installed that acts on the I-beam track 1. Two sets of buffer load-bearing assemblies 3 are also installed on the top of the chassis 4 and on both sides of the travel drive assembly 2. The travel drive assembly 2 generates the travel drive, causing the inspection and monitoring device to move back and forth along the I-beam track 1. The buffer load-bearing assemblies 3 are used to stably suspend the inspection and monitoring device on the I-beam track 1.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 It can be seen that:

[0023] The walking drive assembly 2 includes a walking drive motor 2-1 and a walking reduction gearbox 2-2 installed inside the housing 4. A walking wheel 2-3 is mounted on the upper end of the output shaft of the walking reduction gearbox 2-2, and the rim of the walking wheel 2-3 contacts the middle side of the I-beam track 1. The walking drive motor 2-1 drives the walking wheel 2-3 to rotate forward or backward through the walking reduction gearbox 2-2, and the inspection and monitoring device moves forward or backward along the I-beam track 1 accordingly.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 It can be seen that:

[0025] The buffer load-bearing component 3 includes a base plate 3-3, a load-bearing wheel 3-4 is installed on the upper inner side of the base plate 3-3 and the load-bearing wheel 3-4 rests on the bottom side plate of the I-beam track 1, a spring mechanism 3-6 is also installed on the base plate 3-3, and a pressure wheel 3-5 is installed on the spring mechanism 3-6. The top of the pressure wheel 3-5 contacts the top side plate of the I-beam track 1.

[0026] The function of the spring mechanism 3-6 and its pressure roller 3-5 is to provide a certain buffering downward pressure on the load-bearing roller 3-4, ensuring stable and reliable contact between the load-bearing roller 3-4 and the bottom side plate of the I-beam track 1, and preventing unstable driving due to slippage. The spring mechanism 3-6 includes a bracket fixed to the base plate 3-3, a lifting rod that can move vertically up and down on the bracket, a spring installed between the lifting rod and the bracket, and the pressure roller 3-5 installed on the top of the lifting rod, with the spring in a compressed state.

[0027] In this embodiment, the buffer load-bearing component 3 further includes a position adjustment mechanism. The position adjustment mechanism includes a base 3-2 and an adjustment bolt 3-1 located on the base 3-2. A window is provided in the middle of the base 3-2, and the bottom of the base plate 3-3 is located in the window. The inner end of the adjustment bolt 3-1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 3-3, and the outer end is fixedly connected to the base 3-2 by a lock nut. The purpose of the position adjustment mechanism is to adjust the position of the load-bearing wheel 3-4, the spring mechanism 3-6, and the pressure wheel 3-5 inward or outward. When adjustment is needed, simply loosen the lock nut, move the base plate 3-3 inward or outward to the appropriate position, and then re-lock the lock nut.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0029] A pan-tilt unit 5 is installed at the bottom of the chassis 4. The pan-tilt unit 5 includes a fixed cylinder 5-1 fixed to the chassis 4, a rotating cylinder 5-2 inside the fixed cylinder 5-1, a base housing 5-3 at the bottom of the rotating cylinder 5-2, and a camera assembly 6 installed on the outside of the base housing 5-3. An attitude adjustment component 7 that acts on the camera assembly 6 is installed inside the chassis 4 and the pan-tilt unit 5. The attitude adjustment component 7 can drive the rotating cylinder 5-2 and the base housing 5-3 to rotate, thus allowing the camera assembly 6 to rotate. The attitude adjustment component 7 can also drive the camera assembly 6 to swing up and down, thereby adjusting the attitude of the camera assembly 6 and pointing it to different monitoring positions.

[0030] In this embodiment, the attitude adjustment component 7 includes a spindle 7-8 installed inside the base housing 5-3, and the camera component 6 includes a high-definition camera 6-1 and an infrared camera 6-2, which are respectively installed at both ends of the spindle 7-8. The high-definition camera 6-1 is used to acquire video images of the monitored area, and the infrared camera 6-2 is used to acquire thermal images of the monitored area. The thermal images are used to monitor whether there is localized overheating in the computer room environment / facilities.

[0031] The attitude adjustment component 7 also includes a rotation drive mechanism and a swing drive mechanism, which respectively provide rotation drive and swing drive effects for the camera component 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism includes a rotary drive motor 7-4 and a rotary reduction gearbox 7-3 installed inside the housing 4. The lower end of the rotary drive shaft 7-5 of the rotary reduction gearbox 7-3 is fixedly connected to the top center of the rotary cylinder 5-2, and the rotary drive shaft 7-5 is a hollow shaft. The rotary drive motor 7-4 and the rotary reduction gearbox 7-3 drive the rotary cylinder 5-2 to rotate inside the fixed cylinder 5-1. Correspondingly, the rotary cylinder 5-2 and its auxiliary components rotate to the left or right.

[0033] In this embodiment, the swing drive mechanism includes a swing drive motor 7-2 and a swing reduction gearbox 7-1 installed inside the housing 4. The swing drive shaft 7-6 of the swing reduction gearbox 7-1 is located inside the rotary drive shaft 7-5 (that is, inside the hollow shaft), and its lower end is connected to the main shaft 7-8 via a bevel gear set 7-7. The swing drive motor 7-2 and the swing reduction gearbox 7-1 drive the main shaft 7-8 to rotate forward or backward through the bevel gear set 7-7. Correspondingly, the high-definition camera 6-1 and the infrared camera 6-2 of the camera assembly 6 swing upward or downward synchronously.

[0034] This security monitoring device can be powered by a wired connection. In this case, the power supply unit can be installed at one end of the I-beam track 1, and a tank chain can be configured for the power cable. At the same time, the signal cable of this security monitoring device is also connected to the control equipment in the computer room by running the cable inside the tank chain.

[0035] Operating method:

[0036] The I-beam track 1 is installed and fixed in the middle of the ceiling of the computer room, and the inspection and monitoring device is suspended at the bottom of the I-beam track 1. After starting, the security monitoring device performs inspection and monitoring according to the set method. Specifically, the inspection and monitoring device stops after traveling a set distance. Then, the attitude adjustment component 7 moves the camera component 6 back to one side. Then, the attitude adjustment component 7 swings the two cameras of the camera component 6 from a high position to a low position to complete the scanning and shooting of the equipment in the cabinet on this side. Then, the attitude adjustment component 7 drives the camera component 6 to reset. Then, the attitude adjustment component 7 drives the camera component 6 to rotate to the other side and repeats the above-mentioned scanning and shooting action of the equipment in the cabinet. After completion, it resets again.

[0037] The inspection and monitoring device then moves to the next position and stops, repeating the aforementioned actions to complete the scanning and imaging of the equipment in the cabinets on both sides, until it moves to the other end of the I-beam track 1. After that, the inspection and monitoring device moves in the opposite direction to the initial position and prepares to execute the next security monitoring process.
