Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a monitoring device, and more particularly to an oil pipeline monitoring rod. Background Technology

[0002] Petroleum is a primary energy source in my country. Petroleum production companies transport oil through pipelines that span the entire country, including areas with harsh environments (mostly mountainous regions, farmland, and roads devoid of vehicle traffic). Because these pipelines are located in the field, they require video monitoring devices. These monitoring devices are typically installed approximately 5 meters along the pipeline route. Each device includes a pole, a monitoring camera mounted on the pole, solar panels, a battery box, and a monitoring equipment box containing an inverter. The monitoring camera captures images of the pipeline and transmits them in real-time to a monitoring center. Center staff use these cameras to monitor the pipeline's condition. If damage or oil leakage is detected, timely measures can be taken to prevent the situation from escalating and causing economic losses to the petroleum production company. Installation of the monitoring device involves first fixing the monitoring pole to the ground, then climbing up to secure the monitoring camera to the pole. Once the camera is properly adjusted, monitoring can begin. Because the monitoring poles are quite tall, typically 9-10 meters high, and heavy (approximately 350 kg net weight), and vehicles cannot reach them, manual transportation is costly and unsafe. When installing and straightening the poles, it is necessary to avoid surrounding obstacles. Due to the length and weight of the poles, operation is inconvenient. Furthermore, the height of the monitoring poles necessitates working at heights for debugging and maintenance, making the work highly dangerous. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems in the existing technology and to provide an oil pipeline monitoring pole.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: an oil pipeline monitoring pole, including a pole body, a monitoring camera installed at the top of the pole body, a flange installed at the bottom of the pole body, and a solar photovoltaic panel, a battery box, and an inverter box installed on the pole body. The solar photovoltaic panel, battery box, inverter box, and monitoring camera are connected by cables laid inside the pole body. The special feature is that the pole body is a split structure with upper and lower parts, and the upper and lower pole bodies are connected by a folding mechanism that can fold in four directions: left, right, front, and back. An upper connecting frame and a lower connecting frame are respectively arranged in a cross shape at the lower part of the upper pole body and the upper part of the lower pole body. The upper connecting frame and the lower connecting frame are directly opposite each other and have connecting holes. The vertically aligned connecting frames can be connected by a hydraulic device to achieve folding and straightening of the pole body.

[0005] Furthermore, the folding mechanism includes an upper flange fixed to the bottom of the upper rod and a lower flange fixed to the top of the lower rod. The upper and lower flanges are opposite each other and have bolt fixing holes. The upper and lower flanges are fastened together by the fastening bolts in the bolt fixing holes, so that the upper and lower rods are in a vertical state.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper flange and the lower flange are respectively provided with upper bushings and lower bushings on the left, right, front and rear sides. The upper bushings and lower bushings on the same side are staggered and coaxially arranged. The rod body can be rotated and folded to that side by inserting pins into the upper bushings and lower bushings in the corresponding folding direction.

[0007] Furthermore, a flexible hose with tensile and bending resistance is installed inside the corresponding folding and rotating part of the rod body, and the cable passes through the flexible hose to prevent the cable from being damaged when the rod body is folded.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper flange and the lower flange are square.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. The pole adopts a split, foldable structure, making maintenance and repair convenient. It is lightweight, easy to install in the field, securely mounted, and safer to operate. When folded, it does not interfere with the operation of monitoring, photovoltaic power generation, and other equipment, facilitating debugging and maintenance.

[0011] 2. It can be folded in four directions: front, back, left, and right. When folding the rod downwards during maintenance, if you encounter an immovable obstacle, you can choose to fold in another unobstructed direction, making the operation more convenient.

[0012] 3. The upper and lower poles are folded and straightened by a detachable hydraulic mechanism. The hydraulic mechanism is movable, so each monitoring device does not need to be equipped with a separate hydraulic device, which reduces the cost of the monitoring pole. After the monitoring pole is straightened, the upper and lower flanges are connected by high-strength bolts, which makes the connection firm.

[0013] 3. In addition to installing surveillance cameras, monitoring poles can also be equipped with auxiliary devices such as radar warning systems, infrared alarms, remote broadcasting systems, and audible and visual alarms. Attached Figure Description
