Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of power plant inspection equipment, specifically to a remote real-time monitoring and inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for electricity, power plants, as vital energy production bases, are crucial for ensuring stable power supply. To guarantee the normal operation of power plant equipment, regular inspections are essential. Inspection personnel must possess professional knowledge and skills to periodically check the operating status of various power plant equipment, identify potential problems, and address them promptly to ensure normal equipment operation and a stable power supply from the power plant.
[0003] The complexity and importance of operation and maintenance management in related technologies are becoming increasingly prominent. Traditional inspection methods suffer from problems such as insufficient manpower, low work efficiency, and difficulty in real-time monitoring, failing to meet the requirements of modern power plants for safe, stable, and efficient operation. Therefore, power plants have begun to introduce remote real-time monitoring and inspection devices to achieve real-time monitoring and efficient inspection of power plant equipment.
[0004] Most existing power plant remote real-time monitoring and inspection devices monitor the power distribution workshop through fixed monitoring cameras. These devices can only observe the safety status of a specific area, and it is difficult to observe the real-time values of the distribution cabinets, power cabinets, and control cabinets. As a result, when registering inspection records, the real-time values of some cabinets will be missing. To solve the above problems, a remote real-time monitoring and inspection device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a remote real-time monitoring and inspection device. The present invention uses an electric lifting rod on the lifting device to drive the lifting platform up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the rotating mechanism and the camera. When passing through power cabinets or some distribution cabinets that need to record real-time data, the camera can capture real-time data images on the cabinet panels and store the captured data images in the storage module. At the same time, the captured data can be remotely transmitted through the communication module and recorded on the computer terminal, thereby improving the inspection report and thus improving the inspection quality.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a remote real-time monitoring and inspection device, including a base mounted on an electric trolley frame, a lifting device in the middle of the base, a lifting platform on the upper part of the lifting device, a rotating mechanism on the upper part of the lifting platform, a camera on the upper part of the rotating mechanism, an infrared thermal imager on one side of the lifting platform, a cover plate on the upper part of the base, a communication module on the bearing surface at the rear of the cover plate, a storage module at the front of the base, and a battery in the center of the rear of the base.
[0007] The lifting device includes a positioning frame connected to the vehicle frame bearing surface. The positioning frame is used to connect and fix the drive end of the electric lifting rod to the vehicle frame. A protective shell is provided on the upper part of the positioning frame. The positioning frame is used to protect the drive end of the electric lifting rod from collisions and also to prevent dust from entering the drive end of the electric lifting rod. The protective shell has a hollow design and an electric lifting rod is installed inside the protective shell. The electric lifting rod is used to drive the lifting platform to move up and down, thereby driving the components installed on the lifting platform to lift and lower. The telescopic end of the electric lifting rod is connected to the lower surface of the lifting platform.
[0008] An auxiliary telescopic rod is installed around the electric lifting rod. The auxiliary telescopic rod is used to support the lifting platform, thereby improving the stability of the electric lifting rod when it is telescopic, reducing the axial stress it is subjected to, and thus improving the service life of the components. The lower end of the auxiliary telescopic rod is connected to the driver of the electric lifting rod, and the upper end of the auxiliary telescopic rod is connected to the lower surface of the lifting platform.
[0009] A charging module is installed on one side of the battery to charge the battery, and a PLC controller is installed on the other side of the battery to remotely control the movement of the electric trolley and control the electrical equipment installed on the frame, thereby realizing remote control of the inspection device.
[0010] A positioning module is installed on the side of the storage module. The positioning module facilitates the display of the inspection path and location coordinates during remote monitoring. A wiring cavity is set between the storage module and the battery. The wiring cavity facilitates the connection of wires and signal lines between devices and prevents wiring confusion.
[0011] The communication module has a connector at an angle at the rear. The connector is used to connect the communication module to the antenna. The connector has multiple antennas, which work with the communication module to enhance its transmission and reception capabilities, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of communication.
[0012] The infrared thermal imager has a first bracket at its bottom, which is used to mount the infrared thermal imager, thereby connecting the lifting platform to the infrared thermal imager. The first bracket is connected to the edge of the lifting platform. A second bracket is set on the other side of the lifting platform, which is used to mount a smoke detector, a temperature detector, and a noise detector, providing support for these components. A smoke detector is set in the middle of the second bracket, which is used to detect whether there is smoke near the electric trolley and to sound an alarm when smoke is detected. A temperature detector is set on one side of the smoke detector, which is used to detect the real-time temperature in the power distribution workshop, thereby allowing the observation of whether the workshop temperature is abnormal. A noise detector is set on the other side of the smoke detector, which is used to detect the noise near the electric trolley and to sound an alarm when the noise exceeds the normal value.
[0013] The base surface is equipped with anti-collision beams to prevent damage to the components inside the base when the electric trolley is hit. The anti-collision beams have cavities inside, which are filled with anti-collision blocks. The anti-collision blocks are used to reduce the impact force during a collision, thereby protecting the components inside the base. Multiple collision sensors are set around the four edges of the cover plate to prevent the electric trolley from colliding with the surrounding cabinets. The length of the collision sensors is less than the length of the anti-collision beams.
