Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring device technology, specifically to an omnidirectional beacon equipment operation status monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial ground navigation device in civil aviation air traffic control systems, omnidirectional beacon equipment provides azimuth guidance to aircraft via the Very High Frequency (VHF) band. Omnidirectional beacon equipment requires a control box for operation, but this box is typically located in a machine room, some distance from the duty room (control room). Furthermore, the control box's primary function is to display equipment operating status, and its own fault alarm functions are not yet fully developed. If an malfunction occurs, it is difficult for personnel in the duty room to detect it immediately, affecting the safe operation of the omnidirectional beacon equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to overcome existing defects and provide an omnidirectional beacon equipment operation status monitoring device. This device is equipped with an adjustable vision module that can provide feedback to the duty room regarding the operational status of the omnidirectional beacon equipment displayed on the control box. This facilitates personnel in the duty room to obtain operational information about the omnidirectional beacon equipment. Simultaneously, it can be used to monitor the operation of the control box itself. In case of excessively high temperature and humidity inside the control box, this monitoring device can provide immediate emergency handling, reducing flight risks and property losses caused by control box malfunctions. This effectively solves the problems in the background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] An omnidirectional beacon equipment operation status monitoring device includes a guide rail, a mounting plate slidably mounted on the guide rail, a drive mechanism located on the upper side of the mounting plate and on the guide rail, a vision module mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate, a wind box mounted on the side of the mounting plate, a fan unit mounted inside the wind box, an air duct communicating with the inner cavity of the wind box mounted on the side of the wind box, a temperature and humidity sensor mounted inside the air duct, with the detection end of the temperature and humidity sensor located inside the air duct, a controller mounted on the side of the mounting plate, and the vision module, temperature and humidity sensor and fan unit all electrically connected to the controller.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning frame is fixed to the side of the mounting plate, and the driving mechanism includes a plurality of guide wheels rotatably mounted on the side of the positioning frame. A first motor is mounted on the side of the positioning frame, the output shaft of the first motor is connected to one of the guide wheels, and the first motor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a mounting bracket is provided on the side of the mounting plate, the vision module is rotatably mounted in the mounting bracket, and a second motor for adjusting the angle of the vision module is provided on the side of the mounting bracket, and the second motor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fan unit includes a blade assembly installed inside a wind box, and a third motor for driving the blade assembly to rotate is installed inside the wind box, and the third motor is electrically connected to a controller.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side of the bellows away from the air duct is open, and a protective net is installed at the open part of the bellows. The side of the air duct away from the bellows is provided with a mesh.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. The omnidirectional beacon equipment operation status monitoring device of this utility model uses a set vision module to detect the control box and feed back the working information of the control box and the equipment status display information to the duty room in real time. This allows the duty room personnel to obtain the working status of the omnidirectional beacon equipment through monitoring data, and facilitates the duty personnel to deal with the faults or abnormalities of the omnidirectional beacon equipment in a timely manner, ensuring the normal operation of the civil aviation air traffic control system. When in use, the vision module can be moved on the guide rail through the drive mechanism controller to monitor multiple control boxes and reduce monitoring blind spots.
[0012] 2. The omnidirectional beacon equipment operation status monitoring device of this utility model controls the operation of the fan unit through the controller. The rotating fan unit draws airflow from the control box and discharges the drawn airflow into the air duct. The temperature and humidity sensors installed in the air duct detect the temperature and humidity in the airflow. The detection data is fed back to the controller for processing. When the temperature and humidity exceed the normal range, the controller controls the fan unit to increase its power and speed for emergency handling, which promotes airflow around the control box and plays a role in heat dissipation and dehumidification of the control box. When the temperature and humidity are abnormal, the controller sends an alarm signal to the duty room to remind the duty personnel to come to the machine room for inspection and maintenance.
