Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of power maintenance and testing devices, specifically providing a handheld power inspection device. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, electricity plays an increasingly important role in our lives. Power line inspection, as a crucial means of ensuring normal power operation, has received increasing attention from the power industry and has made significant progress. Currently, equipment inspection in power facilities such as substations and cable tunnels can be divided into two methods: manual inspection and robotic inspection. Manual inspection is labor-intensive and carries certain risks; therefore, robotic inspection will gradually replace manual inspection.

[0003] However, current power line inspection robots are relatively large, requiring significant space to operate and typically needing a certain width of surface to perform their inspection tasks. Therefore, they cannot enter narrow or confined spaces such as cable trenches. Furthermore, in relatively confined environments, numerous obstacles and complex conditions can cause navigation errors in the autonomous navigation system, making it difficult for the robot to move independently. Additionally, manual inspection in such environments presents challenges such as unstable grip causing equipment vibration, resulting in unclear images, and the need for manual turning when changing inspection positions, which is difficult to perform in confined spaces.

[0004] Accordingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and to address the issue that even with manual inspection, unstable grip can cause equipment vibration, resulting in unclear displayed images.

[0006] This utility model provides a handheld power inspection device, comprising:

[0007] A detection component having a first connection portion and configured to detect electrical equipment;

[0008] The display has one side configured to display the image detected by the detection component, and the other side is provided with a second connection part;

[0009] A connection driving component is connected to a first connection part and a second connection part. The connection driving component is configured to drive the connection driving component to rotate relative to the display about an X-axis, and the detection component rotates relative to the connection driving component about a Y-axis perpendicular to the X-axis.

[0010] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, the detection component can be adjusted in multiple dimensions through a dual-axis rotation structure (X-axis / Y-axis), effectively solving the problem of image shaking caused by unstable manual grip in confined environments. Compared to traditional fixed or single-axis adjustment devices, this design allows for flexible adjustment of the detection angle within limited spaces, avoiding manual turning operations and significantly improving the stability of the detection image. Simultaneously, the integrated handheld structure replaces traditional large robots, solving the problem of inaccessibility in narrow spaces (such as cable trenches).

[0011] In the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the connection drive assembly includes a connecting frame, a rotation drive, and a flip drive; the rotation drive is connected to the display and the connecting frame, and the rotation drive is configured to drive the connecting frame to rotate relative to the display about the X-axis.

[0012] The flip drive is connected to the connecting frame and the detection component, and the flip drive is configured to drive the detection component to rotate relative to the connecting frame about a Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction.

[0013] With the above technical solution, the rotary drive adjusts the detection direction around the X-axis, and the flip drive adjusts the detection direction around the Y-axis, allowing the operator to adjust the detection orientation while maintaining a stable display view. This is particularly suitable for complex environments with dense obstacles, reducing the risk of navigation errors.

[0014] In the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the two ends of the connecting frame are bent and respectively located on both sides of the detection component. One end of the connecting frame is connected to the detection component through the flip drive, and the other end of the connecting frame is rotatably connected to the detection component. The middle section of the connecting frame is connected to the rotation drive.

[0015] With the above technical solution adopted, the bent connecting frame design enhances the structural strength, and the two ends are fixed to both sides of the detection component, further improving the image clarity.

[0016] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, both the rotation drive and the flip drive are gimbal motors.

[0017] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the fixed end face of the rotary drive is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the output end face of the rotary drive is fixedly connected to the second connecting part.

[0018] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the fixed end face of the flip drive is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and the output end face of the flip drive is fixedly connected to the second connecting part.

[0019] In the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the connection drive assembly further includes a slip ring that passes through the rotary drive and is configured to supply power to the rotary drive.

[0020] With the above technical solution, the slip ring power supply design solves the problem of cable entanglement during rotation, ensures the stability of power and signal transmission during 360° continuous rotation, and avoids the problem of shortened lifespan caused by repeated twisting of traditional cables.

[0021] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the detection component is provided with a threaded hole on the side away from the rotary drive, the connecting frame is provided with a bearing at the end away from the rotary drive, a connecting cylinder passes through the bearing, one end of the connecting cylinder is provided with a limiting protrusion that abuts against the side of the bearing, and the other end of the connecting cylinder is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0022] With the above technical solution, the mating structure of the threaded hole and bearing enables rapid assembly and disassembly of the detection components. The limiting protrusion design prevents axial displacement of the connecting cylinder, ensuring the accuracy of mechanical transmission.

[0023] In the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the detection component includes a detection shell and a detection body. The first connecting part and the threaded hole are both disposed on the detection shell, and a receiving cavity is formed inside the detection shell. The detection body is disposed in the receiving cavity and is configured to detect power equipment.

[0024] In the specific implementation of the above-mentioned handheld power inspection device, the detection body includes a camera module and an infrared module. Attached Figure Description

[0032] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, to address the problem of unstable grip causing device vibration and resulting in unclear display images during existing manual inspections, this invention provides a handheld power inspection device, comprising: a detection component 3, which has a first connecting part and is configured to detect power equipment; a display 1, one side of which is configured to display the image detected by the detection component 3, and the other side has a second connecting part; and a connection drive component 2, which is connected to the first and second connecting parts and is configured to drive the connection drive component 2 to rotate relative to the display 1 around the X-axis, and the detection component 3 to rotate relative to the connection drive component 2 around the Y-axis, which is perpendicular to the X-axis. Thus, the multi-dimensional angle adjustment of the detection component 3 is achieved through a dual-axis rotation structure (X-axis / Y-axis), effectively solving the problem of image vibration caused by unstable grip in confined environments. Compared to traditional fixed or single-axis adjustment devices, this design allows for flexible adjustment of the detection angle in confined spaces, avoiding manual turning operations and significantly improving the stability of the detection image. Simultaneously, the integrated handheld structure replaces traditional large robots, solving the problem of inaccessibility in confined spaces (such as cable trenches).

[0033] It should be noted that the X-axis direction is the direction passing through the center of the second connecting part and perpendicular to the display 1. The Y-axis direction is the direction passing through the center of the first connecting part and perpendicular to the X-axis direction.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the handheld power inspection device includes a detection component 3, a display 1, and a connection drive component 2.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the display 1 includes a display bracket 11 and a display panel 12. The display bracket 11 is provided with a second connecting portion and is connected to the connection driving component 2 through the second connecting portion. The display panel 12 is connected to the display bracket 11 and is configured to display the image detected by the detection component 3.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the detection component 3 includes a detection housing 31 and a detection body. A first connecting portion and a threaded hole are both disposed on the detection housing 31 and located on opposite sides of the housing 31. A receiving cavity is formed within the detection housing 31, and the detection body is disposed within this cavity. The detection body is configured to detect electrical equipment. In one or more embodiments, the detection body includes a camera module and an infrared module. Thus, the camera module can photograph the electrical equipment, allowing inspection for damage or rust on its surface. The infrared module can detect high-temperature heating areas, enabling timely detection of safety hazards. A threaded hole is provided on the side of the detection component 3 closest to the paper surface, facilitating connection to the connecting drive component 2. Alternatively, the threaded hole can be omitted, and connection to the connecting drive component 2 can be achieved through other means.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, in one or more embodiments, the connection drive assembly 2 includes a connecting frame 21, a rotation drive 22, and a flip drive 23. The two ends of the connecting frame 21 are bent in the same direction, forming a U-shaped structure. The two ends of the connecting frame 21 are respectively located on both sides of the detection assembly 3. One end of the connecting frame 21 is connected to the detection assembly 3 via the flip drive 23, and the other end of the connecting frame 21 is rotatably connected to the detection assembly 3. The middle section of the connecting frame 21 is connected to the rotation drive 22. The bent connecting frame 21 design enhances structural strength, and the two ends are respectively fixed to both sides of the detection assembly 3, further improving image clarity. Alternatively, the connecting frame 21 can also be bent in one step, with one end of the connecting frame 21 connected to the second connecting part on the display bracket 11 via the rotation drive 22, and the other end of the connecting frame 21 connected to the detection assembly 3 via the flip drive 23. In one or more embodiments, a bearing is provided at the end of the connecting frame 21 away from the rotary drive 22, and a connecting cylinder 25 passes through the bearing. One end of the connecting cylinder 25 is provided with a limiting protrusion that abuts against the side of the bearing, and the other end of the connecting cylinder 25 is threadedly connected to a threaded hole. The mating structure of the threaded hole and the bearing enables quick assembly and disassembly of the detection component 3. The limiting protrusion design prevents axial displacement of the connecting cylinder 25, ensuring the accuracy of mechanical transmission. Alternatively, the bearing may not be provided.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the rotary drive 22 is a gimbal motor with a hole in the middle. It should be noted that the two end faces of the gimbal motor are a fixed end face and an output end face, respectively, with the fixed end face connected to the power supply. After the power is turned on, relative rotation can occur between the fixed end face and the output end face. The specific structure of the gimbal motor is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The fixed end face of the rotary drive 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 21, and the output end face of the rotary drive 22 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part of the display bracket 11. The rotary drive 22 is configured to drive the connecting frame 21 to rotate relative to the display bracket 11 around the X-axis. It should be noted that as long as the rotary drive 22 is connected to the display bracket 11 and the connecting frame 21, other methods can also be used to connect the display bracket 11 and the connecting frame 21. In one or more embodiments, the connecting drive assembly 2 further includes a slip ring 24, which passes through the rotary drive 22 and is configured to supply power to the rotary drive 22. The slip ring 24's power supply design solves the cable tangling problem during rotation, ensuring stable power and signal transmission during 360° continuous rotation and avoiding the shortened lifespan of traditional cables due to repeated twisting. It should be noted that the slip ring 24 is used to transmit power and signal power during unrestricted continuous rotation. The structure of the slip ring 24 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, in one or more embodiments, the tilt drive 23 is a gimbal motor. The fixed end face of the tilt drive 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 21, and the output end face of the tilt drive 23 is fixedly connected to the first connecting part of the detection housing 31. It should be noted that the tilt drive 23 only needs to be able to drive the detection component 3 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 21 around the Y-axis, and the tilt drive 23 can also be connected in other ways. In this way, the rotation drive 22 adjusts the detection direction around the X-axis, and the tilt drive 23 adjusts the detection direction around the Y-axis, allowing the operator to adjust the detection orientation while maintaining a stable viewing angle of the display 1. This is particularly suitable for complex environments with dense obstacles, reducing the risk of navigation errors.

[0041] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
