Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acoustic and optical detectors, specifically an infrared ultrasonic integrated imaging instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Acoustic-optical detectors are specialized devices that use microphone arrays to measure the sound field distribution within a certain range. They can be used to measure the position and radiation state of objects and display intuitive images using a cloud map method, i.e., acoustic imaging measurement. These detectors not only possess the sound acquisition, image acquisition, and sound localization visualization functions of traditional acoustic cameras, but also incorporate infrared imaging equipment to achieve multi-mode detection and diagnosis of equipment faults. For example, the handheld acoustic-optical detector proposed in existing technology CN219244791U has the sound acquisition, image acquisition, and sound localization visualization functions of an acoustic camera, and is also equipped with infrared imaging equipment, enabling multi-mode detection and diagnosis of equipment faults.

[0003] However, the aforementioned instruments still have certain shortcomings in practical use. They are generally handheld, but in order to ensure the accuracy of the collected data, it is necessary to reduce instrument shaking. However, instrument shaking is unavoidable when handheld. Since the instruments do not have a fixed structure, it is impossible to fix the instruments in place when collecting important data. Often, repeated collection is required due to shaking errors, which is very troublesome. To solve the above problems, we provide an infrared ultrasonic integrated imager to solve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-8In this embodiment of the invention, the infrared ultrasonic integrated imaging device includes a housing 1. A handle 9 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. A plurality of microphone arrays 5 are provided on one side of the housing 1. A visible light camera 3 is also provided in the middle of one side of the housing 1. An infrared module 4 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1. A display 2 is installed at the end of the housing 1 furthest from the visible light camera 3. A battery for power supply is provided inside the housing 1. A data processing module is also provided inside the housing 1. The display 2, infrared module 4, visible light camera 3, and microphone arrays 5 are all electrically connected to the data processing module. During operation, the microphone arrays 5 collect sound signals, which are processed by the data processing module to obtain a visual sound field image. This image is then combined with the visible light signal captured by the visible light camera 3 and superimposed to determine the location of the source of the problem. Simultaneously, the infrared module 4 can detect the on-site environment and determine the location of the heat source through the infrared image. The display 2 is used to display the image processed and converted by the data processing module for observation by staff.

[0029] The grip 9 has an internal mounting cavity 10. Positioning holes 7 are provided at both ends of one side of the mounting cavity 10. A sliding column 11 is slidably connected inside the mounting cavity 10. The upper end of each sliding column 11 has an elastic protrusion 6 that cooperates with the positioning holes 7 to limit the position of the sliding column 11. The elastic protrusion 6 includes a limiting groove 63 located at the upper end of the sliding column 11. A sliding protrusion 61 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 63, and a spring 62 is installed inside the limiting groove 63. The end of the sliding protrusion 61 is arc-shaped. The elastic protrusion 6 can lock two positions of the sliding column 11. When locked, the elastic protrusion 6 engages in the positioning holes 7 to lock the position of the sliding column 11. When switching, the elastic protrusion 6 is pressed down, and then the sliding column 11 is pulled to engage the elastic protrusion 6 in the other positioning hole 7 to achieve the switch. This allows the instrument to be used in both handheld and fixed positions.

[0030] The sliding column 11 is also provided with a clamping mechanism for clamping; the clamping mechanism includes a connecting groove 16 and threaded blocks 15. The connecting groove 16 is located on one side of the sliding column 11, and the threaded blocks 15 are slidably connected to both ends of the connecting groove 16. Rotating side plates 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the threaded blocks 15, and a clamping plate 12 is rotatably connected between the two rotating side plates 13. Limiting baffles 14 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two threaded blocks 15. The connecting groove 16 is provided with a mechanism for driving the two threaded blocks. The drive assembly for moving the patterned blocks 15 closer to or further away from each other; rubber pads are affixed to the opposite sides of the two clamping plates 12; when it is necessary to fix the instrument, the drive assembly drives the two clamping plates 12 to move closer to or further away from each other, which facilitates clamping; at the same time, the rotating side plate 13 can flip the clamping plates 12 during folding so that the clamping plates 12 are attached to the sliding column 11, so that they can be put into the installation slide cavity 10; the limiting baffle 14 can limit the clamping plates 12 to prevent the clamping plates 12 from opening at an angle exceeding 90 degrees.

[0031] The drive assembly includes a bidirectional lead screw 17, which is rotatably connected inside the connecting groove 16. The threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 17 are respectively helically connected to two threaded blocks 15. A rotating handle 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft head at the lower end of the bidirectional lead screw 17, which passes through the sliding column 11. In use, by rotating the rotating handle 8, the rotating handle 8 drives the bidirectional lead screw 17 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 17 can drive the threaded blocks 15 to move accordingly. The movement of the threaded blocks 15 drives the corresponding clamping plates 12 to move.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the sound signal is collected by the microphone array 5, and after being processed by the data processing module, a visual sound field image is obtained. Then, it is combined with the visible light camera 3 and superimposed with the visible light signal captured by the visible light camera 3, so that the location of the source can be determined. At the same time, the infrared module 4 can detect the on-site environment and determine the heat source through the infrared image. The display 2 is used to display the image processed and converted by the data processing module for the staff to observe. When clamping is required, the sliding column 11 is first pulled out, and then the clamping plate 12 is flipped to a horizontal state. After flipping, the rotating handle 8 is rotated, and the rotating handle 8 drives the bidirectional lead screw 17 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 17 can drive the threaded block 15 to move accordingly. The movement of the threaded block 15 drives the corresponding clamping plate 12 to move, thereby realizing the clamping function.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one technical solution. This method of description is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
