Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy power plant technology, specifically to a micro-lens adjustment structure for an ultraviolet imager in a new energy power plant. Background Technology

[0002] In new energy power plants (such as photovoltaic and wind power), ultraviolet imagers are often used to inspect electrical equipment. By capturing the ultraviolet light signals generated by corona discharge, non-contact hazard inspection can be achieved, locating insulation defects, electric arcs and partial discharges, improving equipment inspection efficiency, preventing fires and power outages, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of new energy systems.

[0003] Existing ultraviolet imaging equipment lenses lack mechanisms for adjusting the shooting angle. Handheld ultraviolet imagers also rely on manual adjustment of the shooting angle, making them difficult to use in conjunction with equipment installation in new energy plants. Even after installation and use within the plant, installation and disassembly require tools and are time-consuming, especially when working at heights or in confined spaces in new energy plants, where operation is difficult and inefficient. Therefore, a miniature lens adjustment structure for ultraviolet imagers in new energy plants is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a miniature lens adjustment structure for ultraviolet imagers in new energy power plants.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a miniature lens adjustment structure for an ultraviolet imager in a new energy plant, including a miniature lens adjustment part, which includes a mounting part, an air pump and a mounting base, and positioning sleeves corresponding to the mounting part are respectively provided around the mounting base.

[0006] The top of the mounting base is sequentially provided with a first L-shaped support arm, a second L-shaped support arm, and a mounting plate. A first servo geared motor is installed in the middle of the mounting base. The drive end of the first servo geared motor is connected to the bottom of the first L-shaped support arm. A second servo geared motor is installed on one side of the top of the first L-shaped support arm. The drive end of the second servo geared motor is connected to one end of the second L-shaped support arm. A third servo geared motor is installed at the other end of the second L-shaped support arm. The drive end of the third servo geared motor is connected to one end of the mounting plate, and the lens of the ultraviolet imager is mounted on the mounting plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a lens adjustment component is provided for the detection lens of the ultraviolet imager used in new energy power plants. This component allows for adjustment of the lens shooting angle and quick installation and removal of the adjustment mechanism. This increases the flexibility of the ultraviolet imager lens in the new energy power plant environment, improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the adjustment equipment, and enhances the ease of use of the ultraviolet imager lens.

[0008] Specifically, the mounting part includes a piston sleeve, a piston rod with a tapered head at the top, and two sets of symmetrically arranged semi-circular pins. The bottom of the piston sleeve is installed on the fixed or mobile equipment of the new energy plant, and the mounting base is fitted onto the piston sleeve through a positioning sleeve. The bottom height of the semi-circular pins is the same as the top height of the positioning sleeve. The piston sleeve has a telescopic cavity with a shape corresponding to the piston rod. The piston rod is inserted into the telescopic cavity of the piston sleeve, and a first tension spring is connected between the bottom sides of the piston rod and the bottom of the piston sleeve.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the piston rod is pushed out by the air pressure filled into the bottom of the piston sleeve through the setting of the semi-circular pins, the top of the piston rod will exert a constant pressure on the middle of the two sets of semi-circular pins, so that the semi-circular pins open symmetrically, and the positioning sleeve of the mounting base is fixed to the piston sleeve of the mounting part based on the opened semi-circular pins, so that the overall miniature lens adjustment part can be quickly fixed and installed.

[0010] Specifically, the two sets of semicircular pins are respectively set on the top of the piston sleeve, and a second tension spring is set at both ends between the semicircular pins. Spring holes for the ends of the second tension springs to be inserted are opened at both ends of the facing surfaces of the semicircular pins, and the two ends of the second tension springs are respectively fixed in the spring holes at corresponding positions.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the second tension spring, when the semicircular pin block loses the pushing force of the piston rod, the second tension spring can pull the two sets of semicircular pin blocks closed against each other, so that the semicircular pin blocks leave the limit of the positioning sleeve, and the miniature lens adjustment part can be quickly removed, making it easier for personnel to operate and maintain.

[0012] Specifically, T-shaped grooves are respectively opened at both ends of the bottom of the semi-circular pin block, and a T-shaped slider corresponding to the T-shaped groove is connected to the top of the piston sleeve. The T-shaped slider is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove at the corresponding position.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the movement direction of the semicircular pin can be guided by the T-shaped slider and T-shaped groove, ensuring the stability of the opening and closing of the semicircular pin.

[0014] Specifically, the exhaust end of the air pump is connected to the bottom of the piston sleeve via a distribution pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed at the exhaust end of the air pump.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, an air pump is used to provide pneumatic power to the inside of the piston sleeve.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By using a miniature lens adjustment unit, a lens adjustment component is provided for the detection lens of the ultraviolet imager used in new energy power plants. This component allows for adjustment of the lens's shooting angle and quick installation and removal of the adjustment mechanism. This increases the flexibility of the ultraviolet imager lens in the new energy power plant environment, improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly of the adjustment equipment, and enhances the ease of use of the ultraviolet imager lens. It solves the problems of existing ultraviolet imaging equipment lacking a shooting angle adjustment mechanism, and handheld ultraviolet imagers relying on manual adjustment of the shooting angle, making it difficult to integrate with equipment installation in new energy power plants. Even after installation and use of equipment in the power plant, installation and disassembly require tools and are time-consuming, resulting in high operational difficulty and low efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a micro-lens adjustment structure for an ultraviolet imager in a new energy plant, comprising a micro-lens adjustment part 1, wherein the micro-lens adjustment part 1 includes a mounting part 2, an air pump 3 and a mounting base 11, and positioning sleeves 15 corresponding to the mounting part 2 are respectively provided around the mounting base 11.

[0031] The top of the mounting base 11 is sequentially provided with a first L-shaped support arm 12, a second L-shaped support arm 13, and a mounting plate 14. A first servo reduction motor 111 is installed in the middle of the mounting base 11.

A third servo reduction motor 131 is installed on the other end of the second L-shaped support arm 13. The drive end of the third servo reduction motor 131 is connected to one end of the mounting plate 14, and the lens of the ultraviolet imager is mounted on the mounting plate 14.

[0032] The present invention also includes, wherein the mounting part 2 includes a piston sleeve 21, a piston rod 22 with a tapered head at the top, and two sets of symmetrically arranged semi-circular pins 23. The bottom of the piston sleeve 21 is mounted on a fixed or mobile device of the new energy plant, and the mounting base 11 is sleeved on the piston sleeve 21 through a positioning sleeve 15. The bottom height of the semi-circular pins 23 is the same as the top height of the positioning sleeve 15. The piston sleeve 21 has a telescopic cavity with a shape corresponding to the piston rod 22. The piston rod 22 is inserted into the telescopic cavity of the piston sleeve 21, and a first tension spring 221 is connected between the bottom sides of the piston rod 22 and the bottom of the piston sleeve 21.

[0033] In use, based on the setting of the semi-circular pin 23, when air pressure is filled into the bottom of the piston sleeve 21 and the piston rod 22 is pushed out, the top of the piston rod 22 will exert a constant pressure on the middle of the two sets of semi-circular pins 23, so that the semi-circular pins 23 open symmetrically, and based on the opened semi-circular pins 23, the positioning sleeve 15 of the mounting base 11 is fixed on the piston sleeve 21 of the mounting part 2, so that the entire miniature lens adjustment part 1 can be quickly fixed and installed.

[0034] The present invention also includes two sets of semicircular pins 23 respectively disposed on the top of piston sleeve 21, and a second tension spring 24 disposed at both ends between the semicircular pins 23. The two ends of the facing surfaces of the semicircular pins 23 are provided with spring holes 25 for the ends of the second tension springs 24 to be inserted, and the two ends of the second tension springs 24 are respectively fixed in the spring holes 25 at corresponding positions.

[0035] In use, by utilizing the second tension spring 24, when the semicircular pin 23 loses the pushing force of the piston rod 22, the second tension spring 24 can pull the two sets of semicircular pins 23 together and close them, so that the semicircular pins 23 leave the limit of the positioning sleeve 15, and the miniature lens adjustment part 1 can be quickly removed, making it easier for personnel to operate and maintain.

[0036] The present invention also includes that T-shaped grooves 27 are respectively provided at both ends of the bottom of the semi-circular pin block 23, and a T-shaped slider 26 corresponding to the T-shaped groove 27 is connected to the top of the piston sleeve 21. The T-shaped slider 26 is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove 27 at the corresponding position.

[0037] In use, the T-shaped slider 26 and T-shaped groove 27 can guide the movement direction of the semi-circular pin 23, ensuring the stability of the opening and closing of the semi-circular pin 23.

[0038] This utility model also includes that the exhaust end of the air pump 3 is connected to the bottom of the piston sleeve 21 through a gas distribution pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the exhaust end of the air pump 3.

[0039] During use, the air pump 3 provides pneumatic pressure to the inside of the piston sleeve 21.

[0040] In use, the bottom of the piston sleeve 21 is fixed to the fixed equipment of the new energy plant, such as a bracket, a testing platform, or a mobile device, such as an inspection robot, with bolts to ensure that the axis of the piston sleeve 21 is perpendicular to the mounting surface. The air pump 3 is installed on the equipment, and the equipment or surrounding power supply components provide power to the electrical mechanism in this application. The lens assembly of the ultraviolet imager is installed on the mounting plate 14. Then, the positioning sleeve 15 of the mounting base 11 is put into the top of the piston sleeve 21. The air pump 3 is started, and the solenoid valve is opened to inflate the piston sleeve 21. The piston rod 22 is pushed upward by the air pressure until the conical head of the piston rod 22 pushes open the two sets of semi-circular pins 23. Then the air pump 3 stops and the solenoid valve is closed. During the period when the semi-circular pins 23 are pushed open, the semi-circular pins 23 slide outward along the T-shaped slide groove 27, so that the semi-circular pins 23 are locked and fixed to the top of the positioning sleeve 15, thus completing the quick locking and installation of the micro lens adjustment part 1.

[0041] During operation, the first servo geared motor 111, the second servo geared motor 121, and the third servo geared motor 131 drive the first L-shaped support arm 12, the second L-shaped support arm 13, and the mounting plate 14 to make certain three-axis linkage angle adjustments, enabling ultraviolet imaging users to better photograph and inspect the power facilities of new energy plants.

[0042] When disassembly and maintenance are required, the solenoid valve can be opened to reduce the air pressure inside the piston sleeve 21. The piston rod 22 moves down under the action of the first tension spring 221, and the semi-circular pin block 23 loses the pushing force of the piston rod 22. The second tension spring 24 contracts and drives the semi-circular pin block 23 to close, disengage from the positioning sleeve 15, and directly pull the mounting seat 11 upward. The positioning sleeve 15 separates from the piston sleeve 21, completing the quick disassembly of the miniature lens adjustment part 1.
