Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of emergency disaster prevention technology, specifically a novel ice condition monitoring skateboard. Background Technology
[0002] Ice jams are a unique natural phenomenon on the Yellow River, caused by temporary rises in water levels due to ice blockage. The Yellow River basin is located north of the Qinling-Huaihe geographical and climatic boundary, in a transitional zone where rivers in northern my country experience winter ice formation. During winter, sections of the upper, middle, and lower reaches of the Yellow River freeze over. Because the water flow in the upper Ningxia-Inner Mongolia section and the lower Shandong section is from low latitude to high latitude, there are temperature differences between the beginning and end of the river, resulting in different times of freezing and thawing. Freezing occurs from downstream to upstream, and thawing from upstream to downstream. This unique situation easily leads to ice blockages and even ice dams, causing ice jams that threaten the lives and property of residents along the riverbanks and the safety of river water conservancy projects. Currently, the ice jam prevention situation in the Inner Mongolia section is complex and severe, with serious ice conditions and frequent ice jam disasters. The ice jam prevention situation in the middle reaches is not optimistic, and ice jam disasters may occur in some years. The ice conditions in the lower reaches are relatively mild, but ice jam disasters may still occur.
[0003] To efficiently carry out ice jam flood prevention work, ice condition monitoring has always been a key focus for water conservancy departments. Key monitoring contents include: river freezing length, ice density, bank ice width and thickness, ice jam and ice dam development, ice jam flood peak, ice-period water level, water temperature and air temperature, etc. Different monitoring devices and methods are usually used to measure different monitoring variables. At present, the monitoring of the ice surface mainly relies on manual ice hole drilling, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also the collected pictures and videos are basically taken at fixed points at long distances, and temperature and humidity are also monitored at fixed points, resulting in incomplete data and deviations in ice jam flood forecasts.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] This utility model provides a novel skid detection skateboard, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This new type of ice condition monitoring skateboard, through the setting of track assembly and ice and snow radar, enables the skateboard to automatically and quickly detect the thickness of the ice layer. The track assembly drives the skateboard to carry the ice and snow radar directly above the ice surface. When the ice and snow radar is working, it can directly detect the thickness of the ice layer through signal feedback. Therefore, engineers do not need to go to the ice surface in person, but can detect it automatically through remote control.
[0017] 2.

This provides accurate predictions of future ice jam trends. The track assembly carries the high-definition infrared camera, allowing for close-up photography of the ice surface's dynamic conditions. During this process, the ice and snow radar, temperature sensor, and humidity sensor simultaneously detect the ice thickness, temperature, and humidity along the route, thus obtaining the dynamic conditions of the ice surface and providing accurate predictions of future ice jam trends.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel skid detection skateboard, comprising a skateboard body 1, a track assembly 2 mounted on the lower front end of the skateboard body 1, the track assembly 2 having two tracks, each track being driven independently by a motor, the forward or backward movement achieved by the synchronous forward and reverse rotation of the two motors, and the steering achieved by the synchronous forward and reverse rotation of one motor or the reverse rotation of the two motors, the track assembly 2 being connected to the skateboard body 1 by a rotating shaft 3, allowing the track assembly 2 to rotate under the skateboard body 1. A certain distance is set between the end of the track assembly 2 and the main body 1 of the skateboard, so that the track assembly 2 is not disturbed by the main body 1 when it rotates, and the turning angle of the track assembly 2 can be large enough to achieve large-angle turns. A high-definition infrared camera 4 is installed on the upper front end of the main body 1. The controller 5, the battery 6 and the ice radar 7 are installed in sequence from the front end to the rear end inside the main body 1. A cover plate 11 is installed on the top of the main body 1 by Torx screws. A sealing gasket 12 is set under the cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 houses the controller 5, the battery 6 and the ice radar 7. The snow radar 7 is sealed inside the skateboard body 1. The upper surface of the cover plate 11 is flush with the upper surface of the skateboard body 1. The cover plate 11 can be removed by hand by unscrewing the Torx screws to access the internal components of the skateboard body 1. A satellite communication transceiver 8 is installed on the upper rear end of the skateboard body 1. The satellite communication transceiver 8 has a built-in GPS and Beidou communication RF chip set. It realizes the communication and transmission of monitoring data with the satellite through the GPS and Beidou communication RF chip set, and can be remotely controlled by the remote control device. The controller 5 has a built-in pluggable inner card for storing video. Temperature sensor 9 and humidity sensor 10 are installed on both sides of the rear end of the skateboard body 1, respectively. The probe of the snow radar 7 faces the ground. The snow radar 7 can detect the thickness of the ice layer. Temperature sensor 9 and humidity sensor 10 are used to monitor the ambient temperature and humidity, respectively. The high-definition infrared camera 4 realizes the acquisition of ice surface images and videos, providing close-range monitoring materials for later use of image and video recognition to realize ice flow density and judge the development trend of ice jams and ice dams. The controller 5 has a built-in pluggable inner card for storing the video captured by the high-definition infrared camera 4.
[0027] During use, engineers place the ice monitoring skateboard on the frozen river surface and initialize its direction of travel. Then, they activate the skateboard via remote control. Simultaneously, satellite transceiver 8 sends signals to the satellite and records the latitude and longitude coordinates at the start of the detection activity. As the skateboard moves, the coordinates of its trajectory are recorded. The skateboard then begins to glide on the ice according to the remote control's instructions. Various radar and sensor devices begin operating. High-definition infrared camera 4 captures images and videos of the ice surface. Ice and snow radar 7, with its probe facing the ground, can detect the thickness of the ice layer. Temperature sensor 9 and humidity sensor 10 are used to monitor the ambient temperature. Under moderate humidity, during this process, the satellite communication transceiver 8 transmits data to the monitoring data receiving end at a fixed reporting frequency according to the message format requirements of the dedicated communication protocol for ice condition monitoring, such as once every five minutes. The video information captured by the high-definition infrared camera 4 is dynamically recorded into the memory card built into the controller 5, and the dynamically captured photos are sent to the image data receiving end via satellite. After the engineer operates the skateboard on the ice surface to complete the detection according to the preset trajectory, it returns to the predetermined location to retrieve the skateboard. The engineer removes the memory card to copy the high-definition video recording, and analyzes and processes the video data through image and video recognition software to provide first-hand close-range observation data for identifying the development trend of ice jams and ice dams.
[0028] In summary, this new ice condition monitoring skateboard is driven by the track assembly 2 to carry the ice and snow radar 7 directly above the ice surface. When the ice and snow radar 7 is working, it can directly detect the thickness of the ice layer through signal feedback. Therefore, engineers do not need to go to the ice surface in person, but can automatically detect it through remote control. The track assembly 2 carries a high-definition infrared camera 4 to travel on the ice surface and can take close-up pictures of the dynamic situation of the ice surface. During this process, the ice and snow radar 7, temperature sensor 9 and humidity sensor 10 simultaneously detect the thickness of the ice layer and the temperature and humidity of the ice surface along the way, thereby obtaining the dynamic situation of the ice surface along the way, and providing accurate judgment for the prediction of the development trend of ice jams.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
