[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, further explains how this utility model is implemented.
[0034] See Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an emergency protection device for uninterrupted power distribution operations, comprising an insulating cover 1, an automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 for the insulating cover, an automatic monitoring system 3, and a control module 4. The insulating cover 1 is used to cover the working platform 5 of an insulated bucket truck in an emergency. The automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 is connected to the insulating cover 1, the working platform 5, and the boom 6 of the insulated bucket truck, and is used to quickly deploy the insulating cover 1 upon receiving an emergency signal. The automatic monitoring system 3 is installed on the working platform 5 and the boom 6 of the insulated bucket truck and is used to detect parameters of the working environment, the operating status of the insulated bucket truck, and the physical condition of the workers. The control module 4 is connected to the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 and the automatic monitoring system 3, and is used to process the detection data and trigger the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 to open automatically in an emergency.
[0035] Specifically, the insulating cover 1 is made of multi-layer composite insulating material, which has good high voltage resistance and impact resistance. The size of the insulating cover 1 is designed to completely cover the working platform 5 of the insulated bucket truck and the surrounding area, forming a closed protective space in case of emergency, isolating the external environment and protecting the workers.
[0036] Specifically, as one embodiment of this utility model: see Figures 2 to 13 As shown, the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 of the insulating cover includes a movable canopy rod 201 connected to the insulating cover 1, a canopy rod gear 202 fixedly connected to the movable canopy rod 201, a transition gear 203 meshing with the canopy rod gear 202, a rack 204 meshing with the transition gear 203, and an electric cylinder 205 connected to the rack 204.

When the transition gear 203 rotates, it will drive the canopy rod gear 202 that meshes with it to rotate. When the canopy rod gear 202 rotates, it will drive the movable canopy rod 201 that is fixedly connected to it to rotate, thereby enabling the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 of the insulating cover to realize the automatic opening and closing operation. Thus, the automatic unfolding and automatic retraction of the insulating cover 1 can be realized through the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 of the insulating cover.

Each canopy boom gear 202 is meshed with one transition gear 203, each transition gear 203 is meshed with one rack 204, and each rack 204 is connected to one electric cylinder 205. The canopy boom gear 202, transition gear 203, and rack 204 on the same side are all correspondingly arranged inside the canopy boom fixing seat 206 on the same side.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the environmental parameter monitoring module 304 includes a temperature sensor for monitoring temperature, a humidity sensor for monitoring humidity, and a gas detection sensor for monitoring the concentration of harmful gases.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the voltage sensor module 301 is located at the front end of the boom 6 and the edge of the working platform 5 of the insulated bucket truck, to ensure that the voltage sensor can sense the voltage status of the surrounding high-voltage lines in real time. Depending on actual needs, corresponding voltage sensors can also be installed at different heights of the boom 6 to cover the entire working area.
[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the current sensor module 302 is located in the main circuit and at the bottom of the boom of the insulated bucket truck, and is used to monitor the current changes of the entire vehicle. Depending on actual needs, appropriate current sensors can also be installed at power line connections or around electrical interfaces to ensure real-time detection of the current status.

More specifically, temperature and humidity sensors are installed in the corners around the working platform 5, and gas detection sensors are installed in locations with good air circulation to ensure timely detection of changes in environmental parameters.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the human body status monitoring module 305 is installed on the worker's body via a wearable device (such as a sensor built into a safety helmet or a belt-type monitoring device). This module can be wirelessly connected to the monitoring system of the insulated bucket truck to collect and transmit the worker's physiological data (such as heart rate and body temperature) and their position and posture on the work platform 5. For details on the human body status monitoring module 305, please refer to the body status monitoring module in CN214752957U.
[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data aggregation module 306 is installed in the central control unit of the insulated boom truck, located in the cab or on the boom control console.

[0057] During operation, the automatic monitoring system 3 monitors the environmental parameters of the work area, the operating status of the insulated bucket truck, and the physical condition of the workers in real time. When the automatic monitoring system 3 detects an abnormality, the control module 4 controls the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 of the insulating cover to open quickly, causing the insulating cover 1 to unfold rapidly and cover the upper part and surrounding area of the working platform 5 of the insulated bucket truck, forming a closed protective space. This provides good protection for the workers standing on the working platform 5. After the abnormality is resolved, the control module 4 controls the automatic opening and closing mechanism 2 of the insulating cover to close automatically, causing the insulating cover 1 to fold and retract automatically.
