Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection device technology, specifically a portable power supply equipment inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the daily operation and maintenance and emergency response of railway traction power supply equipment, equipment inspection work faces many practical difficulties.
[0003] In unconventional inspections during emergencies (such as locating faults in overhead contact line trips or abnormal equipment signals), the workload for ground patrol personnel is further exacerbated. Limited by long observation distances, obstructed views from the complex geographical environment surrounding the line, blind spots in high-altitude equipment, and the influence of weather factors like rain, fog, and strong sunlight, the human eye often cannot accurately identify equipment damage points, let alone accurately assess the severity of potential hazards. In such cases, traditional solutions still require applying for temporary power outage windows and repeating the manual pole-climbing inspection process. This not only disrupts normal train operations and consumes limited window resources, but also increases the risk of falls and electric shock due to the high physical demands of pole-climbing operations.
[0004] Meanwhile, traditional inspection equipment often requires a dedicated display terminal, which is costly and inconvenient to carry, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid on-site response and flexible operation. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a portable power supply equipment inspection device includes:
[0029] Insulating Rod 1: Insulating Rod 1 is the main supporting component of the entire device. It is made of high-insulation-performance materials and can effectively isolate current in live working environments, ensuring the personal safety of the user. Its length is ergonomically designed for easy hand-held operation and carrying. The electrical strength of Insulating Rod 1 is not less than 3kV / cm, and the effective length of insulating rods for indirect live working is greater than 1000mm.
[0030] Before each use, the insulating rod 1 must be carefully inspected for any damage. After wiping the effective insulating part with a clean, dry cloth, the insulation resistance of the effective insulating part should be measured in sections (electrode width 2cm, electrode spacing 2cm) using a 2500V megohmmeter. The insulation resistance should not be less than 100MΩ, or the insulation resistance of the entire effective insulating part should not be less than 10000MΩ.
[0031] Insulating rod 1 should be stored indoors, where the room should be kept clean, dry, well-ventilated, and moisture-proof measures should be taken.
[0032] Insulating rod 1 should be kept clean and dry during transportation and use. Do not damage insulating tools made of tubing, and seal the pipe openings.
[0033] Metal crab claws 2: The device is equipped with a pair of metal crab claws 2, which are respectively installed at the top and bottom of the insulating rod 1. Each metal crab claw 2 consists of a clamping clip 21 and a fastening knob 22.
[0034] Clamping clip 21: It adopts a split structure and can be easily snapped onto the insulating rod 1. The inner side of the clamping clip 21 is provided with a non-slip pad made of hard rubber, which not only increases the friction between the clamping clip and the insulating rod 1 to prevent the metal crab claw 2 from sliding, but also effectively protects the surface of the insulating rod 1 from damage.

[0040] Users can flexibly bend the flexible frame 4 according to actual inspection needs, using its flexibility to adjust the angle of the high-definition camera 5, so that the camera can be aimed at a specific part of the power supply equipment to be inspected. After the high-definition camera 5 collects the image signal of the power supply equipment, it is transmitted to the mobile phone fixed on the mobile phone holder 3 via the 4G network.
[0041] The ball joint 6 between the phone holder 3 and the bottom metal crab claw 2 can be rotated and adjusted at multiple angles, allowing users to adjust the display angle of the phone according to their observation habits and actual needs, so as to clearly and accurately view the images of the power supply equipment captured by the high-definition camera 5 and achieve efficient inspection of the power supply equipment status.
[0042] High safety: The insulating rod 1 is made of high insulation material, which can effectively isolate the current in the live working environment, prevent the user from being electrocuted, and ensure personal safety; the anti-slip pad on the inside of the clamp 21 will not damage the surface of the insulating rod 1 when fixing the metal crab clamp 2, ensuring that the insulation performance is not affected.
[0043] The installation is stable and flexible: the combination of the clamp 21 and the fastening knob 22 can firmly install the flexible frame 4 and the mobile phone holder 3 on the insulating rod 1; the flexible frame 4 is highly flexible and can be adjusted at any angle, so that the high-definition camera 5 can be flexibly aimed at different parts of the power supply equipment; the ball head 6 structure allows the mobile phone holder 3 to rotate at multiple angles, which makes it convenient for users to adjust the viewing angle and meet diverse inspection needs.
[0044] Portable and practical: The insulating rod 1 is easy to handle and carry; using a mobile phone as an image display terminal eliminates the need for additional display devices, reducing costs and making it convenient to view; the high-definition camera 5 can clearly capture images, providing a reliable basis for accurately judging the equipment status and improving inspection efficiency and quality.
[0045] Workers can view the collected images of overhead equipment from the ground using a handheld insulated pole 1 and report the equipment status in a timely manner. This method eliminates the need to apply for a power outage for manual pole climbing inspection, reducing the impact of temporary power outages on train operation. It also eliminates the need for additional power outages to conduct special inspections of faulty equipment, effectively improving work efficiency.
[0046] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above.
