[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0040] This utility model relates to a modular hydropower monitoring device, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes:

[0041] Mounting base 1 is the basic component of the entire monitoring device. It is independently fixed and installed. Assembly 2 is rotatably installed in the shaft hole of mounting base 1. A damping ring is installed at the rotatable connection between assembly 2 and the shaft hole of mounting base 1.

[0042] Support rod 3 is coaxially mounted on assembly 2, and support rod 3 rotates synchronously with assembly 2;

[0043] The movable part 4 is installed on the support rod 3, and the movable part 4 is slidably installed along the length of the support rod 3;

[0044] Support 5 is mounted on movable part 4, and camera device 6 is mounted on support 5;

[0045] The drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the assembly 2 and is used to provide power to the moving part 4 to move along the length of the support rod 3.

[0046] The adjustment mechanism 8 is installed on the mounting base 1, and the adjustment mechanism 8 is used to adjust the working angle of the camera device 6 driven by the assembly 2;

[0047] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0048] The adjustment mechanism 8 causes the assembly 2 to rotate around its axis. Since the support rod 3 rotates synchronously with the assembly 2, the camera device 6 also rotates accordingly, thereby changing the monitoring angle to cover the entire monitoring area.

[0049] When the camera device 6 needs maintenance and repair, the drive mechanism 7 is activated. The drive mechanism 7 transmits power to the moving part 4, causing it to move downward along the length of the support rod 3 to reach the desired position.

[0050] Mounting base 1, as a basic component, is independently fixed, providing stable support for the entire device. Assembly component 2, rotatably mounted within its shaft hole, cooperates with the coaxially mounted support rod 3, allowing the camera device 6 to rotate flexibly, effectively expanding the monitoring range and comprehensively covering all areas of the hydropower facilities, ensuring no blind spots. Movable component 4, mounted on the support rod 3, can slide along its length. Together with the support component 5 and camera device 6, when maintenance, repair, or adjustment of the monitoring distance is required, the drive mechanism 7 provides power to the movable component 4, enabling it to move precisely to the appropriate position, facilitating operation and greatly improving maintenance efficiency. Adjustment mechanism 8, mounted on mounting base 1, is specifically used to adjust the rotation of assembly component 2, thereby changing the working angle of the camera device 6 to meet diverse monitoring needs in different monitoring scenarios. Whether it's panoramic monitoring of a large area or focused attention on specific key areas, it can be easily achieved, comprehensively improving the accuracy and convenience of hydropower monitoring and providing reliable assurance for the safe and stable operation of hydropower facilities.

[0051] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 8 includes:

[0052] Mounting shaft 81 is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of mounting base 1, and the rotation axis of mounting shaft 81 is parallel to the rotation axis of assembly 2.

[0053] Mounting component 82 is coaxially fixedly mounted on mounting shaft 81, and mounting component 82 is provided with a baffle 83;

[0054] The sector-shaped gear ring 84 is coaxially mounted on the mounting part 82 and is slidably connected along the outer wall of the mounting part 82;

[0055] The transmission gear 85 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the assembly 2, and the sector gear ring 84 is mounted on the core of the transmission gear 85;

[0056] The power mechanism 86 is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting base 1, and the power mechanism 86 is used to provide rotational power to the mounting shaft 81.

[0057] The mounting shaft 81 is rotatably mounted in the inner cavity of the mounting base 1 and parallel to the rotation axis of the assembly 2, providing a stable foundation for the installation of subsequent components and power transmission. The sector gear ring 84 is coaxially mounted on the mounting part 82 and can slide along its outer wall. Combined with the meshing installation with the transmission gear 85, it realizes efficient power transmission and precise angle adjustment. When the power mechanism 86 provides rotational power to the mounting shaft 81, the mounting shaft 81 drives the mounting part 82 to rotate. After the sector gear ring 84 contacts the baffle 83, it rotates synchronously with the mounting part 82, thereby driving the transmission gear 85, so that the assembly 2 drives the camera device 6 to rotate, meeting the monitoring needs of different areas and angles of hydropower facilities. The sector gear ring 84 is slidably mounted on the mounting part 82, so that the assembly 2 rotates intermittently. When the baffle 83 is in contact with the sector gear ring 84, the mounting part 82 will not drive the sector gear ring 84 to rotate.

[0058] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the power mechanism 86 includes:

[0059] Cylinder 86a is installed in the inner cavity of mounting base 1, and a straight rack 86b is installed at the output end of cylinder 86a;

[0060] The connecting gear 86c is coaxially mounted on the mounting shaft 81, and the spur rack 86b is meshed with the connecting gear 86c.

[0061] An auxiliary component 86d is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting base 1, and the rack 86b is slidably connected to the auxiliary component 86d.

[0062] The cylinder 86a, installed in the inner cavity of the mounting base 1, serves as a power source and can precisely control the extension and retraction of the output rack 86b. Its output linear motion is cleverly converted into the rotational motion of the mounting shaft 81 by meshing with the connecting gear 86c coaxially mounted on the mounting shaft 81. This, in turn, drives the operation of other components of the adjustment mechanism 8, enabling precise adjustment of the working angle of the camera device 6. The auxiliary component 86d is installed in the inner cavity of the mounting base 1 and is slidably connected to the rack 86b, playing a key role in stabilizing support and guiding. This ensures that the rack 86b always maintains a straight trajectory during movement, avoiding poor meshing with the connecting gear 86c due to shaking or deviation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission. Furthermore, the extension and retraction of the rack 86b causes the mounting shaft 81 to reciprocate.

[0063] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes:

[0064] Hollow shaft 71 is rotatably mounted on movable part 4, and the rotation axis of hollow shaft 71 is parallel to the rotation axis of assembly 2;

[0065] The threaded post 72 is coaxially mounted on the hollow shaft 71 and rotates synchronously with the hollow shaft 71;

[0066] Mounting plate 73 is installed on support rod 3 along the length direction, and threaded groove is provided on mounting plate 73, threaded post 72 is installed in conjunction with threaded groove;

[0067] The control mechanism 74 is mounted on the assembly 2 and is used to provide rotational power to the hollow shaft 71.

[0068] The hollow shaft 71 is rotatably mounted on the moving part 4, and its rotation axis is parallel to the rotation axis of the assembly 2, providing a stable foundation and reasonable layout for the installation of subsequent components and power transmission. The threaded column 72, coaxially mounted on the hollow shaft 71, can rotate synchronously with it and cooperate with the threaded groove on the mounting plate 73 installed along the length of the support rod 3. Using the principle of thread transmission, the rotational motion of the hollow shaft 71 is converted into the linear motion of the moving part 4 along the length of the support rod 3. The control mechanism 74 is mounted on the assembly 2 and can accurately control the rotation of the hollow shaft 71, thereby accurately adjusting the position of the moving part 4 and realizing flexible adjustment of the height and position of the camera device 6. When it is necessary to maintain or repair the camera device 6 or adjust the monitoring distance, the hollow shaft 71 is driven to rotate by the control mechanism 74, which can make the moving part 4 move quickly and accurately to the required position. This not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also allows for flexible changes in the position of the camera device 6 according to actual monitoring needs, meeting the monitoring requirements in different scenarios.

[0069] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the control mechanism 74 includes:

[0070] The power shaft 74a is rotatably installed in the through hole of the assembly 2. The shaft cavity of the hollow shaft 71 is slidably installed along the length of the power shaft 74a, and the hollow shaft 71 rotates synchronously with the power shaft 74a.

[0071] The drive motor 74b is mounted on the assembly 2, and the power shaft 74a is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 74b;

[0072] A fixing plate 9 is installed at the top of the support rod 3, and the power shaft 74a is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 9.

[0073] The drive motor 74b is mounted on the assembly 2. As a stable power source, it can flexibly adjust the speed and direction according to actual needs, providing continuous and controllable rotational power to the power shaft 74a. The power shaft 74a is rotatably mounted in the through hole of the assembly 2. One end is connected to the output end of the drive motor 74b, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 9. The fixing plate 9 is mounted on the top of the support rod 3. This structure ensures the stability of the rotation of the power shaft 74a and reduces power transmission loss caused by shaking or offset. The shaft cavity of the hollow shaft 71 is slidably mounted along the length of the power shaft 74a and can rotate synchronously with the power shaft 74a. This allows the hollow shaft 71 to obtain rotational power from the power shaft 74a and slide along the axial direction of the power shaft 74a within a certain range when adjusting the position of the camera device 6, so as to adapt to different working scenario requirements.

[0074] As a preferred option, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a set of caster wheels 10 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 1;

[0075] The FOMARK wheel set 10 allows the entire monitoring device to be easily moved, facilitating position adjustments between different areas of the hydropower facility to meet the monitoring needs of different locations. It eliminates the need for complex handling tools or a large amount of manpower, saving time and labor costs. The FOMARK wheel set 10 has excellent stability and locking function, which can lock the device after it has been moved to the designated location, ensuring that the mounting base 1 is firmly fixed to the ground and providing stable support for the entire monitoring device.

[0076] The modular hydropower monitoring device of this utility model can be installed, connected or set up in a common mechanical way, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0077] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
