Therefore, these terms should not be understood as a restrictive interpretation of the content of this application.
[0032] The principles and features of the utility model are described below in conjunction with examples, which are only used to explain the utility model and not to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0033] As Figs. 1-3As shown, a kind of omnidirectional free movement of crude oil storage tank floating cabin inspection equipment, including cylinder 1, support frame 2, telescopic sleeve 3 and camera support, the support frame 2 is set on the upper side of the cylinder 1, the support frame 2 can be relatively rotated with cylinder 1, the support frame 2 can also move with the cylinder 1;Telescopic sleeve 3 is arranged on the lower side of the cylinder 1, the rack 6 structure is arranged in the telescopic sleeve 3, the telescopic sleeve 3 can move with rack 6;The camera support is connected in the lower part of the telescopic sleeve 3;The inside of the cylinder 1 is equipped with the gear 9 engaged with rack 6, the gear 9 is connected with reversing column 5, gear 9 is driven to rotate by rotating reversing column 5, in turn drive rack 6 to move.
[0034] The support frame 2 includes support ring 21 and support rod 22, the cylinder 1 is equipped with limiting groove 12, the support ring 21 is sleeved in the limiting groove 12, and a plurality of support rods 22 are distributed on the support ring 21.Support ring 21 is sleeved in the limiting groove 12 of cylinder 1, which ensures that support ring 21 does not move relatively with cylinder 1 in axial direction, and a plurality of support rods 22 are distributed on support ring 21, which provides balanced support force, so that the equipment can be stably placed in the floating cabin hole.
[0035] The support rod 22 is rotatably connected with the support ring 21 through a rotating connecting component (not shown in the figure). The rotating connecting component not only meets the support requirement of the device at different angles, but also can fold the support rod 22, so that the device is convenient to store. The type of the rotating connecting component is not limited in the embodiment, and various existing structures can be used to achieve the required function. For example, a common choice is a bearing with locking function. The inner part of the bearing is composed of balls or rollers, so that the inner and outer rings of the bearing can rotate smoothly. At the same time, a locking device such as a locking screw or a locking ring is arranged on the outer ring or the inner ring of the bearing. In actual application, one end of the support rod 22 is connected with the inner ring of the bearing, and a bearing seat for mounting the outer ring of the bearing is arranged on the support ring 21. When the angle of the support rod 22 needs to be adjusted, the locking device is in an unlocked state, allowing the support rod 22 to rotate freely around the axis of the bearing. When the position of the support rod 22 needs to be fixed, the locking device is tightened, so that the inner and outer rings of the bearing are relatively fixed, thereby achieving the locking of the support rod 22. Another possible choice is to use a rotating shaft with a brake. One end of the rotating shaft is connected with the support rod 22, and the other end is mounted on the support ring 21 through a bearing. The rotating shaft is provided with a brake, which can be an electromagnetic brake, a friction brake or other types of brake device. When the support rod 22 needs to be rotated, the brake is in a non-braking state, allowing the rotating shaft to rotate freely. When the position of the support rod 22 needs to be locked, the brake is activated to generate sufficient friction between the rotating shaft and the support ring 21, thereby preventing the rotating shaft from continuing to rotate, so as to achieve the stable locking of the support rod 22. By using the rotating connecting component with locking function, the connection design of the support rod 22 and the support ring 21 in the embodiment not only meets the support requirement of the device at different angles, but also greatly improves the portability and practicality of the device.
[0036] The lower side of the cylinder body 1 is provided with a radial through groove 11, and the telescopic sleeve 3 is arranged in the radial through groove 11 and can move in the radial through groove 11. The telescopic sleeve 3 can move freely along the radial through groove 11 of the cylinder body 1, thereby driving the monitoring camera to move forward and backward in the floating cabin, expanding the monitoring range and improving the inspection efficiency.
[0037] The camera support includes a threaded rod 7 and a magnetic suction cup 8. One end of the threaded rod 7 is connected to a threaded interface at the lower part of the telescopic sleeve 3, and the other end is connected to the magnetic suction cup 8. The installation and disassembly of the monitoring camera are facilitated, and the magnetic suction cup 8 can be firmly attached to the lower part of the telescopic sleeve 3, ensuring the stability of the monitoring camera during movement.
[0038] The lower part of the telescopic sleeve 3 is provided with a plurality of threaded interfaces. The camera support can be installed at different positions of the telescopic sleeve 3 according to actual needs, so as to adjust the viewing angle and monitoring range of the monitoring camera.
[0039] A monitoring camera is also included, which is adsorbed on the lower part of the telescopic sleeve 3 by the magnetic adsorber 8.
[0040] One end of the reversing column 5 is connected with the gear 9, and the other end of the reversing column 5 extends to the outside of the cylinder 1 and is connected with the handle 4.
[0041] The cylinder 1 is also provided with a mobile phone terminal interface for explosion-proof, which can be connected with a mobile phone terminal for explosion-proof to realize remote monitoring and recording.
[0042] The method for the crude oil storage tank floating chamber inspection equipment to inspect in all directions freely is as follows: first, rotate the supporting rod 22 to make the supporting rod 22 and the supporting ring 21 axis perpendicular at 90 degrees, then install the equipment on the floating chamber hole, adjust the connection position of the telescopic sleeve 3 and the threaded rod 7 according to the size of the internal space of the floating chamber, after the position is adjusted, the operator connects the magnetic adsorber 8 to the threaded rod 7 and adsorbs the monitoring camera on the magnetic adsorber 8 firmly.
[0043] After the inspection work starts formally, if the monitoring camera captures a fuzzy area, the operator can drive the gear 9 to rotate by rotating the reversing column 5.
[0044] When an obstacle such as a cross beam in the floating chamber blocks the inspection during the inspection, the operator can also adjust the position of the monitoring camera by rotating the reversing column 5 flexibly to make it away from the obstacle, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the inspection work.
[0045] The inspection equipment of the utility model is stably placed in the floating chamber hole by the supporting frame 2, the gear 9 is driven to rotate by rotating the reversing column 5, and then the movement of the gear 9, the gear 6 and the telescopic sleeve 3 is driven, so that the monitoring camera can move forward and backward in the floating chamber; at the same time, the telescopic sleeve 3 is rotated by rotating the cylinder 1, so as to drive the monitoring camera to rotate in the floating chamber, so that the all-around movement of the monitoring camera in the floating chamber is realized, the observation of the internal condition of the floating chamber is more comprehensive and clear, the efficiency of the inspection work is enhanced, and the safety and reliability of the floating chamber inspection work are ensured.
[0046] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
