[0008] The alarm module is used to receive alarm signals from the central control module, and the alarm module is connected to the central control module via a wireless transmission module.

[0009] Preferably, the central control module includes a central control unit, a receiving unit, and a processing unit. The input terminal of the receiving unit is connected to the output terminal of the thermal imager, and the processing unit is connected to both the receiving unit and the central control unit.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: an aircraft brake pad wear and temperature detection system based on infrared thermal imaging, comprising a temperature detection module for detecting brake pad temperature, a central control module, and an alarm module installed in the cockpit, wherein:

[0017] The temperature detection module consists of multiple detection mechanisms. Each detection mechanism includes two thermal imagers, which are respectively installed on both sides of the brake pad.

[0018] The central control module is used to receive infrared images transmitted by the thermal imager and to process and analyze the infrared images.

[0019] The alarm module is used to receive alarm signals from the central control module, and the alarm module is connected to the central control module via a wireless transmission module.

[0020] The central control module includes a central control unit, a receiving unit, and a processing unit. The input terminal of the receiving unit is connected to the output terminal of the thermal imager, and the processing unit is connected to both the receiving unit and the central control unit.

[0021] The alarm module includes a temperature alarm unit and a wear alarm unit.

[0022] The wireless transmission module includes a wireless signal transmitting unit and a wireless signal receiving unit. The wireless signal transmitting unit is connected to the central control unit, and the wireless signal receiving unit is connected to the alarm module.

[0023] The central control module also includes a storage unit, which is connected to the central control unit.

[0024] Specifically, when using this invention, two thermal imagers of the single-unit detection mechanism are installed on both sides of the brake pad. One thermal imager captures the wear surface of the brake pad from the front, and the other thermal imager captures the back of the brake pad. In use, the two thermal imagers capture infrared images of the front and back of the brake pad respectively, and send the captured infrared images to the receiving unit of the central control module. Then, the processing unit processes and analyzes the images to generate real-time temperature data of the brake pad, which is then sent to the central control unit. The central control unit makes a judgment based on the two temperature data. When the higher temperature data exceeds a preset value, it indicates that the brake pad temperature is too high, and the temperature alarm unit of the control alarm module is activated. When the difference between the two temperature data is less than the preset value, it indicates that the temperature difference between the front and back of the brake pad is small, and the brake pad is severely worn. In this case, the wear alarm unit of the control alarm module is activated.
