Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a power inspection device includes a guide rail 1 and a traveling assembly 2 that moves along the guide rail 1. The traveling assembly 2 specifically includes a U-shaped support 3. The support 3 has a base plate and vertical plates that are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the base plate and bent upwards. A traveling motor 5 is bolted to each of the two vertical plates. A traveling wheel 6 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the traveling motor 5. The guide rail 1 has wheel grooves 7 on both sides along the width direction that match the traveling wheel 6. The traveling motor 5 drives the traveling wheel 6 to rotate in the wheel grooves 7, thereby driving the support 3 to move along the guide rail 1.
[0024] Below the walking assembly 2 is a support plate 8. A vertically extending slide rod 9 is bolted between the support 3 and the support plate 8. Four slide rods 9 are arranged in a rectangular array to improve the stability of the connection between the support plate 8 and the support 3. An adjusting plate 10 is slidably mounted on the four slide rods 9. A lead screw 11 is provided between the four slide rods 9. The lead screw 11 is parallel to the slide rods 9. The upper end of the lead screw 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support 3 through a bearing, and the lower end is connected to the rotating shaft of the lifting and adjusting motor 12 through a coupling. The lifting and adjusting motor 12 is bolted to the support plate 8. The adjusting plate 10 is threaded to the lead screw 11. The lifting and adjusting motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, and the lead screw 11 drives the adjusting plate 10 to move up and down along the slide rods 9.
[0025] An adjusting shaft 13 extending vertically downwards is rotatably mounted on the adjusting plate 10 via bearings. A camera assembly 27 is mounted at the lower end of the adjusting shaft 13. A rotating sleeve 14, coaxially arranged with the adjusting shaft 13, is rotatably mounted on the support plate 8 via bearings. The rotating sleeve 14 vertically penetrates the support plate 8, and the adjusting shaft 13 passes through the rotating sleeve 14 and slides along the axial direction of the rotating sleeve 14. To prevent the adjusting shaft 13 from rotating relative to the rotating sleeve 14, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the adjusting shaft 13 is provided with a guide groove 15 extending along its length direction, and the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 14 is integrally formed with a guide block 16 that matches the guide groove 15. The guide block 16 is slidably installed in the guide groove 15.
[0026] A horizontal rotary motor 17 for driving the rotating sleeve 14 is bolted onto the bearing plate 8. A first driving gear 18 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the horizontal rotary motor 17. A first driven gear 19 that meshes with the first driving gear 18 is fixedly mounted on the rotating sleeve 14. When the horizontal rotary motor 17 is working, it drives the first driven gear 19 and the rotating sleeve 14 to rotate through the first driving gear 18.
[0027] The camera assembly 27 includes a mounting box 20 bolted to the lower end of an adjusting shaft 13. A horizontally extending mounting shaft 21 is rotatably mounted on the mounting box 20 via bearings. Both ends of the mounting shaft 21 extend to the outside of the mounting box 20. A high-definition camera 22 is fixedly mounted to one end of the mounting shaft 21 by screws, and an infrared thermal imaging camera 23 is fixedly mounted to the other end. The shooting directions of the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23 are perpendicular to the axial direction of the mounting shaft 21.
[0028] like Figure 4As shown, a swing motor 24 is installed in the mounting box 20 by bolts. A second drive gear 25 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the swing motor 24. A second driven gear 26 that meshes with the second drive gear 25 is fixedly installed on the mounting shaft 21. When the swing motor 24 is working, it drives the second driven gear 26 and the mounting shaft 21 to rotate through the second drive gear 25.
[0029] In use, the walking motor 5 drives the walking wheels 6 to rotate, which in turn moves the entire inspection device along the guide rail 1. During the movement, the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23 inspect the power equipment. By setting up the infrared thermal imaging camera 23, it is convenient to monitor the heat status of the power equipment and improve the comprehensiveness of the inspection.
[0030] During the inspection process, the lifting adjustment motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjustment plate 10 to move up and down. The adjustment plate 10, through the adjustment shaft 13, raises or lowers the camera assembly 27, thereby adjusting the shooting height of the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23. The horizontal rotation motor 17 drives the rotating sleeve 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the camera assembly 27 to rotate in the horizontal plane through the adjustment shaft 13, thereby adjusting the horizontal orientation of the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23. The up-and-down swing motor 24 drives the mounting shaft 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23 to swing up and down, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the high-definition camera 22 and the infrared thermal imaging camera 23 in the vertical direction. The camera assembly 27 can be adjusted in multiple directions, resulting in a wider shooting range.
[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
