Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of desert environment monitoring technology, and in particular to a portable device suitable for monitoring the surface temperature of objects in desert environments. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most surface temperature monitoring devices are handheld, drone-mounted, or fixed.
[0003] While handheld devices are convenient and very effective for completing regular inspections and monitoring and obtaining instantaneous values over a period of time, their efficiency decreases when monitoring long time series at the second and minute levels. This is because they require a lot of manpower and pose problems such as increased difficulty in operation under high-concentration dust conditions (dust storms) and safety risks for operators.
[0004] Compared to handheld or fixed drones, drone-mounted drones have a clear advantage in achieving large-area, high-resolution monitoring. However, the cost of purchasing related equipment is high, and the technical requirements for personnel are also high. Technicians need to obtain drone licenses and purchase drone insurance. In addition, drone transportation is relatively complicated. Medium and large drones are quite heavy and require vehicle transportation, but vehicles are inconvenient to enter the heart of the desert.
[0005] Fixed types commonly include tripods and floor poles, which are indeed very feasible in some application scenarios.
[0006] However, most existing fixed temperature monitoring devices are tripod-type or ground-mounted. In actual operation, when the tripod or ground-mounted device is inserted into the soft sandy ground, it is difficult to keep the temperature monitoring device stable, especially when there is a lot of wind and sand, the device is prone to tipping over. Utility Model Content
[0007] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a portable device for monitoring the surface temperature of objects in desert environments, aiming to solve the problem that existing fixed temperature monitoring devices are prone to tipping over.
[0008] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention proposes a portable device for monitoring the surface temperature of objects in a desert environment, comprising a balanced support chassis, at least three desert surface anchoring structures, a column, a mounting plate, a rotation adjustment device, a pitch angle adjuster, an infrared temperature measuring device, and a controller. The desert surface anchoring structures are mounted on the balanced support chassis. The column is vertically fixed to the upper middle part of the balanced support chassis. The mounting plate is horizontally fixed to the top of the column. The rotation adjustment device is fixed to the mounting plate. The pitch angle adjuster is connected to the rotation adjustment device. The infrared temperature measuring device is assembled with the pitch angle adjuster. The infrared temperature measuring device is connected to the controller via a circuit.
[0009] At least three of the desert surface anchoring structures are arranged in a triangular pattern on the balance support chassis, and at least three of the desert surface anchoring structures are used to be inserted into the sand. The balance support chassis is a circular disc with a conical upper surface and a downward-bent flange on the edge of the balance support chassis to form a cavity.
[0010] In some embodiments, at least three of the desert surface anchoring structures include at least three anchor piles. The periphery of the balance support chassis is provided with a plurality of through holes corresponding to the anchor piles. The lower end of each through hole is integrally provided with an internally threaded sleeve. The upper end of each anchor pile is provided with a thread adapted to the internally threaded sleeve. The anchor pile vertically penetrates the corresponding through hole and is threadedly connected to the internally threaded sleeve.
[0011] In some embodiments, the lower end of the anchor pile is provided as a pointed tip.
[0012] In some embodiments, the controller housing has a handle on top, and the controller has an integrated power supply.
[0013] In some embodiments, the rotation adjustment device includes an electric slewing bearing and a protective housing. The mounting plate is a circular plate. The electric slewing bearing is fixed to the upper end of the mounting plate. The protective housing covers the electric slewing bearing, with its top wall connected to the rotating part of the electric slewing bearing and its lower side wall fitted around the periphery of the electric slewing bearing. A sealing plate located at the lower edge of the mounting plate is detachably connected to the lower end of the protective housing. A wiring is provided inside the column. The upper end of the wiring passes through the mounting plate and connects to the electric slewing bearing, and the lower end of the wiring passes through the lower end of the column and connects to the controller.
[0014] In some embodiments, the pitch angle adjuster includes a connecting arm, the upper end of the protective housing is provided with a U-shaped seat, one end of the connecting arm is inserted into the U-shaped seat and assembled by a first tightening bolt passing through both and a nut threadedly connected to the first tightening bolt, the other end of the connecting arm is provided with a clamping member, and the clamping member is mounted on the infrared temperature measuring device.
[0015] In some embodiments, a level is provided on the upper surface of the balance support chassis.
[0016] In some embodiments, the column is a telescopic column.
[0017] In some embodiments, the column includes a fixed rod and a movable rod, both of which are hollow. The fixed rod is vertically arranged, and its lower end is assembled and fixed to the upper end of the balance support chassis. The lower end of the movable rod is inserted into the outside of the upper end of the fixed rod. A second tightening bolt is threaded on the lower side wall of the movable rod. The second tightening bolt is used to tighten until it abuts against or separates from the fixed rod.
[0018] In some embodiments, the infrared temperature measuring device is an infrared camera.
[0019] The technical solution of this utility model involves adding a balancing support chassis and arranging at least three desert surface anchoring structures in a triangular pattern on the chassis. Compared to traditional tripods, this arrangement, by inserting at least three desert surface anchoring structures into the sand, evenly distributes the weight of the portable device, preventing excessive force at a single point that could cause the device to sink or tilt. Furthermore, the upper surface of the balancing support chassis is conical, and the edges of the chassis have downward-bent flanges. This conical design prevents excessive sand accumulation on the upper surface. The flanged edges embed into the sand during installation, allowing the sand to fill the cavity enclosed at the bottom of the balancing support chassis. The weight of the sand and its force on the chassis make the balancing support chassis more stable and less prone to tipping over, thus enabling the portable device to withstand strong desert winds and preventing it from tipping over.

[0031] Existing fixed temperature monitoring devices are mostly tripod-type or ground-mounted. In actual operation, when the tripod or ground-mounted device is inserted into the soft sandy ground, it is difficult to keep the temperature monitoring device stable, especially when there is a lot of wind and sand, the device is prone to tipping over.
[0032] This invention proposes a portable device for monitoring the surface temperature of objects in desert environments. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The portable device includes a balance support chassis 1, a desert surface anchoring structure 2, a column 3, a mounting plate 4, a rotation adjustment device 5, a pitch angle adjuster 6, an infrared temperature measuring device 7, and a controller 8. The desert surface anchoring structure 2 is mounted on the balance support chassis 1. The column 3 is vertically fixed to the upper middle part of the balance support chassis 1. The mounting plate 4 is horizontally fixed to the top of the column 3. The rotation adjustment device 5 is fixed to the mounting plate 4. The pitch angle adjuster 6 is connected to the rotation adjustment device 5. The infrared temperature measuring device 7 is assembled with the pitch angle adjuster 6. The infrared temperature measuring device 7 is connected to the controller 8 via a circuit.
[0033] At least three of the desert surface anchoring structures 2 are arranged in a triangular pattern on the balance support chassis, and at least three of the desert surface anchoring structures 2 are used to be inserted into the sand. The balance support chassis 1 is a circular disc with a conical upper surface and a downward-bent flange on the edge of the balance support chassis to form a cavity.
[0034] Specifically, the balance support chassis 1 is a circular disc. The balance support chassis 1 can be made of steel so that its weight can be used to press against the sand.
[0035] Furthermore, the upper surface of the balancing support chassis 1 is conical, and the edge of the balancing support chassis 1 has a downward-bent flange (represented by 'a' in the figure). The conical design prevents excessive sand accumulation on its upper surface. The flanged edge design embeds itself into the sand during installation, allowing the sand to fill the cavity enclosed at the bottom of the balancing support chassis 1. This utilizes the weight of the sand and the force exerted by the sand on the balancing support chassis 1, making it more stable on the sand and less prone to tilting or tipping over. This, in turn, enables the portable device to withstand strong desert winds. The area and thickness of the balancing support chassis 1 can be rationally designed according to the weight of the device and the intensity of desert winds to ensure stability.
[0036] The technical solution of this utility model involves adding a balancing support chassis 1 and triangularly distributing at least three desert surface anchoring structures 2 on the chassis 1. Compared with traditional tripods, this arrangement, by inserting at least three desert surface anchoring structures 2 into the sand, evenly distributes the weight of the portable device, preventing excessive force at a single point from causing the portable device to sink or tilt. Furthermore, the upper surface of the balancing support chassis 1 is conical, and the edges of the chassis have downward-bent flanges. The conical design prevents excessive sand accumulation on its upper surface. The flanged edges embed into the sand during installation, allowing the sand to fill the cavity enclosed at the bottom of the balancing support chassis 1. Utilizing the weight of the sand and the force exerted by the sand on the balancing support chassis 1, the chassis 1 becomes more stable on the sand and less prone to tipping over. This, in turn, enables the portable device to withstand strong desert winds and is less likely to tip over.
[0037] In one embodiment, when using the portable device, the desert surface anchoring structure 2 is anchored in the sand, and the balance support chassis 1 is in contact with the sand surface. Due to the large support surface of the balance support chassis 1, and utilizing the weight of the balance support chassis 1 and the friction between the balance support chassis and the sand surface, the entire portable device has good anti-tipping performance. Before using the portable device for monitoring, the pitch angle of the infrared temperature measuring device 7 can be adjusted by the pitch angle adjuster 6. At the same time, in conjunction with the rotation adjustment device 5, it can be rotated 360° in the horizontal direction to achieve comprehensive adjustment of the position and angle of the infrared temperature measuring device 7, ensuring that the infrared temperature measuring device 7 can accurately monitor the surface temperature of the object to be measured. The portable device has a reasonable overall structural design, is stably installed, can withstand strong winds, and ensures that the portable device is stable and not easily tipped over. Moreover, the angle and orientation of the infrared temperature measuring device can be flexibly adjusted to accurately monitor the surface temperature of the object to be measured, so as to achieve efficient and convenient temperature monitoring.
[0038] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the desert surface anchoring structure 2 includes at least three anchor piles 21. The edge of the balance support base 1 is provided with a plurality of through holes corresponding to the anchor piles 21. The lower end of the through hole is integrally provided with an internal threaded sleeve 11. The upper end of the anchor pile 21 is provided with a thread adapted to the internal threaded sleeve 11. The anchor pile 21 vertically penetrates the corresponding through hole and is threadedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 11.
[0039] In one embodiment, multiple anchor piles 21 are arranged in a triangular pattern on the balance support chassis 1. Each anchor pile 21 is assembled with the balance support chassis 1 by means of threaded engagement, and the assembly is relatively stable.
[0040] In one embodiment, the upper part of the main body of the anchor pile 21 is designed as a cylinder, and the lower end of the anchor pile 21 is a pointed tip to facilitate quick and smooth insertion into the sand. The pointed tip of the anchor pile 21 allows for quick and smooth insertion into the sand, supporting the entire balance support chassis 1 on the sand. The length of the anchor pile 21 can be set according to the depth and hardness of the desert soil. Optionally, the length of the anchor pile 21 can be set to 30 cm to 50 cm to allow it to be inserted 30 cm to 50 cm deep into the sand, thereby ensuring stable support for the entire portable device. In the soft desert soil, multiple anchor piles 21 can evenly distribute the weight of the portable device, preventing excessive force at a single point from causing the portable device to sink or tilt.
[0041] In another embodiment, the anchor pile 21 can also be hinged at its upper end to the lower end of the balance support chassis 1. When not in use, the anchor pile 21 can be flipped and folded at the lower end of the balance support chassis 1 and inserted into the matching slot at the bottom. When in use, it can be unfolded to be vertical.
[0042] In this embodiment, the controller 8 has a handle 81 on the top of its housing, and a power supply is integrated into the controller 8. During transport, the controller 8 can be lifted using the handle 81. In use, the controller 8 is buried in the sand near the balance support chassis 1. This facilitates multi-point monitoring while moving in the desert, or long-term monitoring buried underground.
[0043] In this embodiment, the controller 8 includes a battery module and an information processor. The battery module provides power to the entire device, and the information processor is responsible for receiving electrical signals transmitted from the infrared temperature measuring device 7, processing, analyzing, and storing the data. More specifically, the infrared temperature measuring device 7 measures relevant temperature information and feeds this information back to the information processor in the controller 8 for data processing and storage. Simultaneously, the controller 8 is also responsible for controlling the power supply to the infrared temperature measuring device 7. The controller can be an existing controller; controllers integrating information processing and communication are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the rotation adjustment device 5 includes an electric slewing bearing 51 and a protective housing 52. The mounting plate 4 is a circular plate. The electric slewing bearing 51 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting plate 4. The protective housing 52 covers the electric slewing bearing 51. Its top wall is connected to the rotating part of the electric slewing bearing 51, and its lower side wall is fitted around the electric slewing bearing 51. The lower end of the protective housing 52 is detachably connected to a sealing plate 511 located at the lower edge of the mounting plate 4. The column 3 has a wiring inside. The upper end of the wiring passes through the mounting plate 4 and connects to the electric slewing bearing 51. The lower end of the wiring (represented by b in the figure) passes through the lower end of the column 3 and is connected to the controller 8.
[0045] The protective housing 52 covers the electric slewing bearing 51 and rotates with it, effectively protecting the bearing. Its lower sealing plate 511 extends below the edge of the mounting plate 4, blocking the gap between the protective housing 52 and the mounting plate 4 to prevent sand particles from entering and affecting its rotational performance. Furthermore, a sealing ring can be installed between the sealing plate 511 and the lower surface of the mounting plate 4 for sealing.
[0046] In another embodiment, the electrically operated slewing bearing 51 can also be replaced by a manually adjustable rotating mechanism, such as a mechanical gimbal.
[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pitch angle adjuster 6 includes a connecting arm 61, and the upper end of the protective housing 52 is provided with a U-shaped seat 522. One end of the connecting arm 61 is inserted into the U-shaped seat 522 and assembled by a first tightening bolt 62 passing through both and a nut threadedly connected to the first tightening bolt 62. The other end of the connecting arm 61 is provided with a clamping member, which is mounted on the infrared temperature measuring device 7.
[0048] In the embodiment described above, the two ends of the U-shaped seat 522 have a certain degree of elasticity. After one end of the connecting arm 61 is inserted into the U-shaped seat 522, it passes through the first tightening bolt 62 and then the nut is tightened, thereby clamping the two ends of the U-shaped seat 522 with the connecting arm 61, so that the connecting arm 61 maintains its current position (i.e., the current elevation angle). When adjustment is needed, the nut is loosened, the connecting arm 61 is swung up and down, and then the nut is tightened again. The operation is relatively convenient.
[0049] The clamping component can be an existing product component such as a ring clamp that is compatible with the infrared temperature measuring device 7, to ensure a stable assembly between the two.
[0050] Optionally, a level can be installed on the upper surface of the balance support chassis 1. During installation, the level can be used to refer to the horizontal state of the balance support chassis 1, ensuring that the entire device is installed reliably.
[0051] In one embodiment, the column 3 is a telescopic column. The height of the U-shaped base 522 can be adjusted by the telescopic column. By adjusting the height, the infrared temperature measuring device 7 can maintain a suitable distance and relative position with the object to be measured, further ensuring the accuracy of the infrared temperature measuring device 7.
[0052] Specifically, the column 3 includes a hollow fixed rod 31 and a movable rod 32. The fixed rod 31 is vertically arranged, and its lower end is fixedly assembled to the upper end of the balance support chassis 1. The lower end of the movable rod 32 is inserted into the outside of the upper end of the fixed rod 31. A second tightening bolt 33 is threaded on the lower side wall of the movable rod 32. The second tightening bolt 33 is used to tighten until it abuts against or separates from the fixed rod 31. When adjustment is required, the second tightening bolt 33 is tightened to loosen it, and then external force is used to move the movable rod 32 up and down relative to the fixed rod 31. After the height is adjusted, the second tightening bolt 33 is retightened. The operation is relatively convenient and quick.
[0053] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
