Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch cabinet technology, and in particular to a multi-degree-of-freedom pan-tilt camera device for use inside a switch cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] The main function of switchgear is to open, close, control, and protect electrical equipment during the power generation, transmission, distribution, and energy conversion processes of a power system. The main components of switchgear include circuit breakers, disconnect switches, load switches, operating mechanisms, instrument transformers, and various protective devices. In daily life, switchgear may trip due to various factors. To restore power to the internal equipment, manual inspection of the wiring, components, and connections is required to check for signs of burning. If no signs are found, the circuit breaker needs to be manually reset. However, in many locations, such as residential areas and office buildings, manual intervention may be slow and inconvenient after a trip, as manual reset may not be readily available.

The first connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 3-5 and rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2-1 via a bearing. A first driving assembly for driving the rotating frame 3-5 to rotate is mounted on the mounting plate 2-1. The multi-degree-of-freedom gimbal mechanism 4 is mounted below the rotating frame 3-5. The first driving assembly includes a first motor 3-1, which is mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate 2-1.

[0027] In use, the first motor 3-1 is started, which drives the first transmission wheel 3-2 to rotate. The first transmission wheel 3-2 drives the second transmission wheel 3-3 to rotate via the first synchronous belt 3-4. The second transmission wheel 3-3 drives the first connecting shaft to rotate together, thereby driving the rotating frame 3-5 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating frame 3-5 can drive the multi-degree-of-freedom pan-tilt mechanism 4 and the camera 5 on it to move together, thereby adjusting the position of the camera 5 to better capture the situation inside the switch cabinet 1.

[0033] The fourth drive assembly includes a fourth motor 4-12, which is mounted on the second frame 4-6. The first frame 4-1 has a through slot for the fourth motor 4-12 to pass through, allowing the fourth motor 4-12 to rotate together with the second frame 4-6. A seventh transmission wheel 4-13 is mounted on the output shaft of the fourth motor 4-12. An eighth transmission wheel 4-14 is mounted on the outer periphery of the third frame 4-11. The seventh transmission wheel 4-13 and the eighth transmission wheel 4-14 are connected by a fourth synchronous belt 4-15.
