[0030] 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.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an early warning device for wind farms, comprising a guide rail 1, which can be laid and installed according to the areas of the wind farm that need to be monitored, and can be made of aluminum alloy. An inspection robot 2 is slidably connected to the lower part of the guide rail 1, which is used for automatic inspection in an unattended management mode. It can be powered by a sliding contact line. A telescopic rod 3 is installed at the lower part of the inspection robot 2, which can be electrically powered, and is used to adjust the position of the monitoring component 6 to monitor the equipment inside the booster station. A rotating seat 5 is installed at the lower part of the telescopic rod 3, which is used to adjust the monitoring angle of the monitoring component 6. It can be driven by electricity or other structures. The lower part of the rotating seat 5 is equipped with a monitoring component 6, which is used to cooperate with intelligent fast identification. The lower part of the monitoring component 6 is equipped with a fire extinguishing mechanism 7, which can control the fire in the event of a fire. The monitoring component 6 includes a supplementary light 61, which can be an LED light. The mounting bracket 71 is installed on the lower part of the supplementary light 61. A temperature measuring machine 62 is installed on the left side of the supplementary light 61, which can be a miniature infrared dual-view card camera. Through infrared temperature measurement technology, the fire can be monitored and warned in a timely manner. A camera 63 is installed on the right side of the supplementary light 61, which can be a high-definition zoom camera.
[0032] like Figures 2-4As shown, the fire extinguishing mechanism 7 includes a mounting bracket 71, which is used to connect various components. The lower part of the mounting bracket 71 is fixedly connected with two clamps 72. The two clamps 72 are used together to cooperate in the installation and fixation of the flame extinguishing component 73. The lower part of the clamps 72 is movably connected by bolts, which makes it easier to disassemble and fix the flame extinguishing component 73. The flame extinguishing component 73 is provided at the lower part of the mounting bracket 71.
[0033] Furthermore, the flame extinguishing assembly 73 includes a flame extinguishing bottle 731, which is used to extinguish flames. It can be a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. The clamp 72 is movably connected to the flame extinguishing bottle 731. The front of the flame extinguishing bottle 731 is provided with a valve 732, which can be thermally activated or electromagnetically controlled. The front of the valve 732 is provided with a telescopic tube 733, which is a telescopic hose. The front end of the telescopic tube 733 is fixedly connected to a nozzle 734, which is used to spray flame extinguishing mist.
[0034] Furthermore, the front of the flame extinguishing assembly 73 is provided with an adjustment assembly 74, which is used to adjust the angle of the nozzle 734. The adjustment assembly 74 includes a motor 741, which is used to drive the rotating shaft 742 to rotate. The motor 741 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 71. The output end of the motor 741 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 742 through a coupling. The rotating shaft 742 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 71. The upper part of the rotating shaft 742 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 743, which is used to drive the driven gear 744 to rotate. The adjustment assembly 74 also includes a connecting rod 745, which is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 71 through a coupling. The upper part of the connecting rod 745 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 744. The drive gear 743 meshes with the driven gear 744. The drive gear 743 can drive the connecting rod 745 to rotate through the driven gear 744. The bottom of the connecting rod 745 is fixedly connected to a retaining ring 746, which is used to connect the nozzle 734. The nozzle 734 is movably connected to the retaining ring 746.
[0035] Working principle: The inspection robot 2 will move along the laid guide rail 1 to monitor the equipment in the wind farm substation. The position of the monitoring component 6 can be adjusted by the telescopic rod 3 installed at the bottom of the inspection robot 2, so that the monitoring component 6 can more comprehensively inspect the equipment in the substation and detect problems in time. If a fire occurs in a certain piece of equipment, the temperature measuring machine 62 can detect the temperature of the equipment when the temperature rises and issue a fire warning. If a fire occurs, the fire can be dealt with by the fire extinguishing mechanism 7 to prevent the fire from spreading.
[0036] When using the flame extinguishing assembly 73, opening the valve 732 allows the aerosol in the flame extinguishing bottle 731 to be transported to the nozzle 734 via the telescopic tube 733, and then sprayed out through the nozzle 734, thereby controlling the spread of the fire and extinguishing it. When the monitoring assembly 6 needs to monitor the fire and cannot adjust the spray angle by rotating the rotating seat 5, the motor 741 can be turned on. The motor 741 will drive the rotating shaft 742 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 743 to rotate. The driven gear 744, which meshes with the drive gear 743, will also be driven to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod 745 to rotate. The nozzle 734, which is connected to the connecting rod 745 via the retaining ring 746, will be driven accordingly, thereby adjusting the spray angle of the nozzle 734 so that the fire extinguishing mechanism 7 can extinguish the fire more effectively.
[0037] When the extinguishing material in the extinguishing bottle 731 is used up and needs to be replaced, loosen the bolts of the clamp 72 and remove the extinguishing bottle 731 from the clamp 72. At the same time, pull the nozzle 734 to remove the nozzle from the retaining ring 746. Then, insert the extinguishing bottle 731 of the new extinguishing assembly 73 between the two clamps 72 and fix it with bolts. Finally, snap the nozzle of the new extinguishing assembly 73 into the retaining ring 746.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
