Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power tower sign technology, specifically a power tower sign that facilitates remote inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pole and tower asset management faces problems such as low data quality within the system, duplicate data entry and collection, inaccurate asset location positioning, and reliance on manual inspection. It is urgent to rely on the construction of a unified identity code for power grid assets, solidify the construction of data source infrastructure for distribution poles and towers, and promote the digital construction of distribution pole and tower assets in conjunction with the construction of digital teams for distribution networks.

[0003] Currently, most of the improved inspection methods use drones for inspection. The drones identify the QR codes on the signs corresponding to the poles and towers to determine the corresponding information. However, the traditional QR codes on the signs are only placed in the corners of the signs, which are small in size and difficult to identify, requiring the drones to get closer for identification. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a power tower sign that facilitates remote inspection, thus solving the problem of inconvenience in remote inspection in existing technologies.

[0023] 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.

[0024] See Figures 1-5A power tower sign for easy remote inspection includes a base layer 1. The surface of the base layer 1 is covered with a content display layer 2 containing identification content and a QR code. The outer surface of the content display layer 2 is covered with a protective layer 3. The QR code in the content display layer 2 is distributed throughout the content display layer 2. The content display layer 2 includes identification content composed of color blocks 201 of different colors, and a QR code composed of color blocks 201 of different colors. The color blocks 201 that overlap with the color blocks 201 that constitute the QR code are similar in color to the color blocks 201 that constitute the identification content.

[0025] One possible approach is to increase the brightness of the overlapping color block 201 to create a contrast with the original color block 201, or to increase the proportion of a primary color that makes up the color of the color block 201, so that the color of the overlapping color block 201 is similar to the color of the color block 201 of the label content.

[0026] By completely covering the QR code in the content display layer 2, and making the brightness of the color block 201 that overlaps with the color block 201 that makes up the QR code higher than the brightness of the non-overlapping part, the size of the QR code is increased without affecting the display of the labeling content, thus making the QR code easier to identify remotely.

[0027] It also includes an optical camera for recognizing QR codes. Since the color blocks 201 that make up the QR code are similar in color to but different from the adjacent color blocks 201, the information of the QR code can be recognized by the optical camera.

[0028] It also includes drones used to carry optical cameras, which can be used to inspect the external structure of power towers and to identify QR codes.

[0029] The QR code information in the content display layer 2 includes a reserved area, an item identification area, a tag identification area, and a user data area. The reserved area (RESERVED) assists in various operations and functional controls of the tags to meet the needs of different application scenarios. The item identification area (EPC) stores the identification code of the power distribution tower and has a code locking function, permanently locking the code information. The tag identification area (TID area) stores the tag's own unique number. This number should be globally unique and permanently unchangeable. The user data area (USER) allows users to define their own data format according to actual needs. The QR code corresponding information is stored in a remote database.

[0030] The base layer 1, the content display layer 2, and the protective layer 3 together constitute a flexible sign. The back of the base layer 1 is provided with an adhesive material, which allows the sign to be adhered to the surface of the power tower.

[0031] The content display layer 2 includes surface-displayed identification content and QR codes formed by materials with different thermal conductivity of the base layer 1. The QR codes are distributed throughout the content display layer 2. For example, if the base layer 1 is made of aluminum and the QR codes are cut from copper sheets, the copper sheets are placed between the content display layer 2 and the base layer 1. Because the two have different heat absorption capabilities, a heat source-shaped QR code will be formed.

[0032] It also includes an infrared camera for recognizing QR codes. By setting up the infrared camera, it can recognize heat source type QR codes and convert them into readable QR codes for reading.

[0033] It also includes drones that carry infrared cameras. These drones can detect the heat generated by cables and can be used to identify QR codes. Infrared cameras and optical cameras are collectively referred to as cameras and can be mounted on the underside of the drone.

[0034] The base layer 1, content display layer 2, and protective layer 3 together constitute a rigid sign. The sign has holes at the four corners, which allows bolts or cable ties to be used to fix the sign to the power tower.

[0035] When in use, the QR code is spread across the entire content display layer 2 to increase the area for easy recognition. By setting color blocks 201 with similar but different colors, the QR code and the label content to be displayed are formed, so that the label content can be observed with the naked eye and the QR code can be recognized by a remote camera.

[0036] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. 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.
