Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring equipment technology, specifically to an infrared imaging device for switch cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] A switchgear is an electrical device in which external power lines first enter the main control switch inside the cabinet, and then enter the branch control switches, with each branch circuit configured according to its needs. It is an assembly consisting of one or more low-voltage switchgear devices and related control, measurement, signaling, protection, and regulation equipment, all internally connected by the manufacturer using structural components. The main function of a switchgear is to open, close, control, and protect electrical equipment during the power generation, transmission, distribution, and energy conversion processes in a power system. The main components inside a switchgear include circuit breakers, disconnect switches, load switches, operating mechanisms, instrument transformers, and various protective devices.

[0003] In order to observe the operating status of the equipment inside the switch cabinet in a timely manner, cameras are usually installed inside the switch cabinet to facilitate observation of the situation inside the switch cabinet. However, cameras are mostly fixed installations, making it difficult to adjust the monitoring range of the cameras. At the same time, cameras are easily bumped and damaged during switch cabinet maintenance. Utility Model Content

A hexagonal bolt is located in the hexagonal nut groove, and the hexagonal bolt's thread passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft. A pressure-reducing mounting base is located at the lower end of the arc-shaped connecting plate.

[0006] A further technical solution is that the pressure-reducing mounting base includes a first base connected to the arc-shaped connecting plate and a second base spaced apart at the lower end of the first base, with a plurality of pressure-reducing components provided between the first base and the second base.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the pressure-reducing component includes a connecting post with one end connected to the first base, a mounting groove is provided at the end of the connecting post facing the second base, a compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove, and the end of the compression spring away from the connecting post is connected to the second base.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the first base has a pressure-reducing plate in the middle, the second base has an opening for the pressure-reducing plate to pass through, and the second base has two mounting brackets.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The hexagonal bolts are threaded through the screw holes and connected to the rotating shaft, which facilitates fixing the housing and the arc-shaped connecting plate after adjusting the position and orientation of the housing, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the monitoring range. At the same time, the use of high-definition cameras and infrared cameras enables the entire device to have day and night monitoring capabilities.

[0010] 2. The lower end of the arc-shaped connecting plate is equipped with a pressure-reducing mounting seat, which facilitates pressure reduction when the housing is impacted, thus preventing damage to the entire device. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0015] Example 1: refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an infrared imaging device for a switch cabinet is disclosed, comprising a spherical housing 1 with a cavity inside. A window communicating with the cavity is provided on the front side of the housing 1, and a transparent glass 2 is provided at the window. A vertical partition 3 is provided inside the cavity, and a high-definition camera 4 and an infrared camera 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the partition 3. An arc-shaped connecting plate 6 fitting the lower half of the housing 1 is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. Rotating shafts are provided at both ends of the housing 1, and rotating grooves are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6. The two rotating shafts are rotatably disposed within the two rotating grooves. A hexagonal nut groove 7 is provided on the left side of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6, and a threaded hole communicating with the rotating groove is provided at the bottom of the hexagonal nut groove 7. A hexagonal bolt is provided in the hexagonal nut groove 7, and the hexagonal bolt threaded through the threaded hole and threadedly connected to the rotating shaft. A pressure-reducing mounting base is provided at the lower end of the arc-shaped connecting plate 6.

[0016] In this utility model, a hexagonal bolt is threaded through the screw hole and connected to the rotating shaft, which facilitates fixing the housing 1 and the arc-shaped connecting plate 6 after adjusting the position and orientation of the housing 1, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the monitoring range. At the same time, the use of a high-definition camera 4 and an infrared camera 5 enables the entire device to have day and night monitoring functions.

[0017] Example 2: The pressure-reducing mounting base includes a first base 8 connected to the arc-shaped connecting plate 6 and a second base 9 spaced apart at the lower end of the first base 8. A plurality of pressure-reducing components are provided between the first base 8 and the second base 9. Each pressure-reducing component includes a connecting post 10 with one end connected to the first base 8. The end of the connecting post 10 facing the second base 9 is provided with a mounting groove. A compression spring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove. The end of the compression spring 11 away from the connecting post 10 is connected to the second base 9. A pressure-reducing plate 12 is provided in the middle of the first base 8. An opening slit for the pressure-reducing plate 12 to pass through is provided on the second base 9. Two mounting brackets 13 are provided on the second base 9.

[0018] When installing the pressure reducing mounting base, the mounting bracket 13 is bolted to the cabinet of the switchgear.

When the housing 1 is subjected to an excessive impact force, the housing 1 drives the arc-shaped connecting plate 6 and the first base 8 to compress the compression spring 11, so as to prevent the housing 1 from being deformed by pressure. When the compression spring 11 is compressed to the point of being fully contracted into the mounting groove, the pressure reducing plate 12 and the switch cabinet come into contact. The housing 1 is protected from damage by the dual pressure reduction of the switch cabinet and the compression spring 11.
