[0037] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1-5 The embodiment discloses a protective structure for protecting an infrared thermal imager body 13, specifically an online infrared thermal imager protective cabin structure, which comprises a cabin body 22, a gas conveying device and a protective cover 9 mounted on the cabin body 22, an outer cabin 6 is formed between the protective cover 9 and the cabin body 22, an inner cabin 7 is arranged in the cabin body 22, and a heat insulation cavity 29 is arranged between the outer cabin 6 and the inner cabin 7.

[0039] The thermal imager body 13 and a temperature and humidity sensor 14 are mounted in the inner cabin 7, a front end cover 3 corresponding to the thermal imager body 13 is arranged on the cabin body 22; a gas cylinder 15 is mounted in the outer cabin 6, a shutter cover 1 is connected to the driving end of the gas cylinder 15, and the gas cylinder 15 is used for driving the shutter cover 1 to rotate; a first connector 16 for connecting with the gas outlet end of the gas conveying device is mounted on the outer cabin 6.
