Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of monitoring technology, and specifically relates to a monitoring device for photovoltaic power plants. Background Technology

[0002] Surveillance systems are among the most widely used systems in security systems. They have undergone a dramatic transformation from early analog monitoring to today's digital monitoring. A photovoltaic (PV) power station is a power generation system that utilizes solar energy and employs special materials such as crystalline silicon panels and inverters, connected to the power grid and transmitting electricity to it. A centralized large-scale grid-connected PV power station is a large-scale PV power station built by the state in desert areas, with the generated electricity directly connected to the public power grid and connected to the high-voltage transmission system to supply long-distance loads. PV power stations contain many valuable components, therefore, a large number of camera probes are installed within them.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application number CN202320797455.5 discloses a photovoltaic power station monitoring device, including a support rod. The support rod has a flow guiding mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism at its top. The cleaning mechanism includes a water tank with a water pump fixedly connected inside. A water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the front of the water pump. A second support plate is fixedly connected to the front right side of the support, and a hot air blower is fixedly connected to its top. An air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the left side of the hot air blower. The flow guiding mechanism includes flow channels located on the left and right sides of the support. In this invention, the flow guiding mechanism allows rainwater to enter the water channel through the flow channel, be filtered by a filter, and then enter the water tank through the inlet pipe. The cleaning mechanism allows the water pump to draw water from the water tank and clean the camera through the outlet pipe.

[0004] However, the device still has the following drawbacks:

[0005] Since the monitoring devices of photovoltaic power stations are usually installed outdoors, they are exposed to outdoor sunlight for a long time. The long-term use of the monitoring devices also generates a lot of heat. The high internal temperature of the monitoring devices and slow heat dissipation make them prone to overheating, which affects the performance of the monitoring devices and may even cause damage. Therefore, we need to propose a monitoring device for photovoltaic power stations. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a photovoltaic power station monitoring device. It includes a base plate 110, on which a monitoring camera 410 is mounted. The base plate 110 also has a first adjustment component and a second adjustment component for adjusting the monitoring range of the monitoring camera 410. The monitoring camera 410 is equipped with a cooling component for cooling down the monitoring camera 410.

[0028] The cooling assembly includes a cooling box 510, which is mounted on a monitoring camera 410. A vacuum pump 520 is installed at one end of the cooling box 510, and a first transmission pipe 530 is installed at one end of the vacuum pump 520. The end of the first transmission pipe 530 away from the vacuum pump 520 is mounted on the monitoring camera 410. A second transmission pipe 540 is installed at the other end of the cooling box 510, and the end of the second transmission pipe 540 away from the cooling box 510 is mounted on the monitoring camera 410.

[0029] The surveillance camera 410 is equipped with a temperature sensor, which is used to detect the temperature inside the surveillance camera 410.

[0030] When the temperature inside the surveillance camera 410 exceeds the set value, the air pump 520 transmits the cooling airflow from the cooling box 510 to the surveillance camera 410 through the first transmission pipe 530. The cooling airflow dissipates heat and cools the surveillance camera 410, making it less prone to overheating and thus not affecting the performance of the surveillance camera 410. At the same time, it prevents the surveillance camera 410 from being damaged due to overheating, thereby improving the service life of the surveillance camera 410.

[0031] The cooling box 510 is equipped with a cooling pipe 511 and a semiconductor cooling chip 512. One end of the cooling pipe 511 is installed on the air pump 520, and the other end of the cooling pipe 511 is installed on the second transmission pipe 540.

[0032] A thermoelectric cooler 512 is used to cool the coolant inside the cooling chamber 510. The cooling pipe 511, through contact with the coolant, allows heat exchange between the airflow and the coolant within the cooling pipe 511, thereby cooling the airflow. The heating end of the thermoelectric cooler 512 is located outside the cooling chamber 510 for easy heat dissipation.

[0033] The first adjustment component includes a first motor 210, which is mounted on the inner wall of one side of the base plate 110. A first worm gear 220 is connected to the output end of the first motor 210.

A first worm gear 240 is mounted on the rotating rod 230, and the first worm gear 240 meshes with a first worm 220. A mounting bracket 250 is mounted on the other end of the rotating rod 230, and a turntable 260 is mounted on the mounting bracket 250. The turntable 260 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base plate 110.

[0035] By setting a first motor 210 to provide driving force, the first worm gear 220 is driven to rotate. Under the meshing action of the first worm gear 220 and the first worm wheel 240, the rotating rod 230 is driven to rotate. The rotating rod 230 drives the mounting bracket 250 to rotate. The mounting bracket 250 drives the turntable 260 to rotate. The turntable 260 drives the monitoring camera 410 to rotate, thereby adjusting the left and right angles of the monitoring camera 410 and increasing the monitoring range of the monitoring camera 410.

[0036] The second adjustment component includes two sets of support blocks 350, both sets of support blocks 350 are mounted on turntable 260, both sets of support blocks 350 are rotatably connected to rotating shafts 360, and both sets of rotating shafts 360 are mounted on monitoring camera 410.

[0037] One end of one set of the rotating shafts 360 extends into one set of support blocks 350, and a third worm gear 370 is installed on one set of the rotating shafts 360.

[0038] The second adjustment assembly also includes a second motor 310, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 250, and the output end of the second motor 310 is connected to a second worm gear 320.

[0039] The second adjustment assembly also includes a third worm gear 330, which is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 250. A second worm wheel 340 is mounted on the third worm gear 330, and the second worm wheel 340 meshes with the second worm gear 320. One end of the third worm gear 330 passes through one of the support blocks 350, and the third worm gear 330 meshes with the third worm wheel 370.

[0040] By setting a second motor 310 to provide driving force, the second worm 320 is driven to rotate. Under the meshing action of the second worm 320 and the second worm wheel 340, the third worm 330 is driven to rotate. Under the meshing action of the third worm 330 and the third worm wheel 370, the rotating shaft 360 is driven to rotate. The rotating shaft 360 drives the monitoring camera 410 to rotate, thereby adjusting the vertical angle of the monitoring camera 410 and increasing the monitoring range of the monitoring camera 410.

[0041] Specifically, the internal electrical connection structures of the first motor 210, the second motor 310, the monitoring camera 410, the air pump 520, and the semiconductor cooling chip 512 are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. All electrical components appearing in this application are externally connected to a power source during use.
