[0025] The second mobile structure 8 includes a mobile vehicle, a gas sensor 87, a data processor 88, a solar panel 81, a wind turbine, a drive wheel 84, a horizontal plate 85, and columns 83. The mobile vehicle is mounted on a guide rail 1 and slides along it via the drive wheel 84. The horizontal plate 85 is horizontally positioned on top of the mobile vehicle, and several columns 83 are vertically positioned on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 85. The solar panel 81 is horizontally positioned at the top of the columns 83. The solar panel 81 provides power to the mobile structure 8, ensuring its normal operation even without an external power source. Wind turbines are located at both ends of the solar panel 81, further powering the mobile structure 8 with wind energy, enhancing the system's self-sufficiency. The gas sensor 87 is mounted on the mobile vehicle and connected to the data processor 88 via wires, used to monitor the composition and concentration of gases in the exhaust chimney in real time. The data processor 88 transmits the monitored data to a remote monitoring center 10 via a wireless communication module, enabling real-time data acquisition and processing.

[0026] The mobile structure 7 includes a solar panel 71, a wireless transmission module 72, a horizontal plate 73, a column 74, a drive wheel 75, a camera 76, and a temperature and humidity sensor 9. The mobile structure 7 is mounted on a guide rail 4 and slides along the guide rail 4 via the drive wheel 75. The horizontal plate 73 is horizontally mounted on top of the mobile structure 7, and the column 74 is vertically mounted on the upper surface of the horizontal plate 73. The solar panel 71 is horizontally mounted on the top of the column 74 to provide power to the mobile structure 7. The temperature and humidity sensor 9 is mounted on the mobile structure 7 and connected to a data processor 88 via wires to monitor the temperature and humidity data around the chimney in real time. The camera 76 is mounted on the mobile structure 7 to capture images of the chimney's exhaust outlet. The wireless transmission module 72 is mounted on the mobile structure 7 and connected to the camera 76, transmitting the captured images wirelessly to the wireless receiving module 86. The wireless receiving module 86 is mounted on the mobile structure 8 and connected to the data processor 88.

[0027] A wire spool 3 is horizontally arranged on the side of guide rail 1, and a wire spool 6 is horizontally arranged on the side of guide rail 2. Both wire spool 3 and wire spool 6 are cylindrical structures. The two ends of the wire pass through wire spool 3 and wire spool 6 respectively, and are used to connect the equipment on moving structure 1 7 and moving structure 2 8 to ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission.

[0028] The specific operating principle and process are as follows:

[0029] When the exhaust vent of the chimney is opened, the gas sensor 87 starts working, monitoring the composition and concentration of gases in the chimney in real time. The gas sensor 87 transmits the monitored data to the data processor 88 via wires. The data processor 88 processes and analyzes the data, calculating the carbon emissions using its internal algorithm model. The data processor 88 then sends the processed data to the remote monitoring center 10 via a wireless communication module. The remote monitoring center 10 analyzes and stores the received data in real time, generates a carbon emission report, and determines whether emissions exceed the limits. If emissions exceed the limits, an alarm signal is immediately sent to the terminal devices of relevant personnel to remind them to take timely action.

[0030] Simultaneously, the temperature and humidity sensor 9 on the mobile structure 7 begins operation, monitoring the temperature and humidity data around the emission chimney in real time. The sensor 9 transmits the monitored data to the data processor 88 via wires. The data processor 88 processes and analyzes the temperature and humidity data, using internal algorithm models to assess the physical state of the emitted gases, such as temperature and humidity parameters. These parameters are crucial for assessing the diffusion rate and range of the emitted gases. The data processor 88 then transmits the processed temperature and humidity data to the remote monitoring center 10 via a wireless communication module. The remote monitoring center 10 further analyzes the received data, combining it with carbon emission data to generate a more comprehensive emission report, ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0031] In addition, camera 76 on the mobile structure 7 begins capturing images of the exhaust vent of the chimney. Camera 76 transmits the captured images via wireless transmitter 72 to wireless receiver 86, which then transmits the received image data to data processor 88. Data processor 88 uses its internal image analysis program to compare the captured images with pre-acquired baseline images to assess the status of the exhaust vent. If the captured exhaust vent status differs from the baseline image, data processor 88 sends an alarm signal to remote monitoring center 10, alerting relevant personnel to promptly inspect and address the issue, ensuring the normal operation and compliant emissions of the exhaust vent.

[0032] The drive wheels of movable structure 2 (8) and movable structure 1 (7) are respectively mounted on guide rail 1 (1) and guide rail 2 (4), and are powered by motor 82 and motor 1 (not shown in the figure), enabling movable structures 2 (8) and 1 (7) to slide along guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 (4). The operating states of motor 82 and motor 1 are controlled by data processor 88 and data processor 1 (not shown in the figure) to ensure that the movement trajectories of movable structures 2 (8) and 1 (7) match the monitoring requirements. For example, when the emission port is open, data processor 88 controls motor 82 to move movable structure 2 (8) towards the emission port to collect emission data more accurately. Similarly, data processor 1 also controls motor 1 to move movable structure 1 (7) towards the emission port to capture images of the emission port and monitor temperature and humidity data more accurately.

[0033] Solar panels 81 and 71 are respectively mounted on top of mobile structures 8 and 7, utilizing solar energy to provide power to them. When sunlight is abundant, solar panels 81 and 71 provide sufficient power to ensure normal operation. In areas with insufficient sunlight, wind turbines further power the system, ensuring all-weather operation. Furthermore, the power management system of mobile structures 8 and 7 includes batteries. When the power provided by the solar panels and wind turbines is insufficient, the batteries automatically switch to power supply, ensuring the system functions normally under all conditions.

[0034] Guide rail 1 and guide rail 2 are respectively equipped with cable reels 3 and 6 on their sides. The two ends of the wire 11 pass through cable reels 3 and 6, respectively, connecting to the equipment on moving structure 7 and moving structure 2 8. The cable reels 3 and 6 ensure that the wire 11 will not tangle or break when the moving structures slide, maintaining the stability and reliability of signal transmission. The wire 11 is used not only to transmit temperature and humidity data and image data, but also to transmit control signals, such as the control signals for motor 82 and motor 1, ensuring the coordinated operation of moving structure 2 8 and moving structure 7.

[0035] In a practical application scenario, suppose a chemical plant's exhaust chimney requires carbon emission monitoring. First, the carbon emission monitoring device of this invention is installed on both sides of the exhaust chimney. Support column 1 (2) and support column 2 (5) are fixed to both sides of the chimney, respectively. Guide rail 1 (1) and guide rail 2 (4) are vertically connected to the support columns, forming a stable guide rail system. Movable structure 2 (8) and movable structure 7 (7) are respectively installed on guide rail 1 (1) and guide rail 2 (4), ensuring unimpeded sliding on the guide rails.

[0036] When the chemical plant begins production and the exhaust vent of the chimney is opened, gas sensor 87 and temperature and humidity sensor 9 simultaneously activate. Gas sensor 87 monitors the composition and concentration of gases in the exhaust chimney in real time, and data processor 88 transmits the monitored data to remote monitoring center 10 via wireless communication module. Remote monitoring center 10 analyzes the received data in real time, generates a carbon emission report, and determines whether emissions exceed standards. If emissions exceed standards, an alarm signal is immediately sent to the terminal devices of relevant personnel to remind them to take timely action.

[0037] Meanwhile, temperature and humidity sensor 9 monitors the temperature and humidity data around the emission chimney in real time and transmits the data to data processor 88 via wire 11. Data processor 88 processes and analyzes the temperature and humidity data, combining it with gas composition and concentration data to generate a more comprehensive emission report. Remote monitoring center 10 further analyzes the received data to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0038] In addition, camera 76 begins capturing images of the exhaust vent of the chimney, transmitting the image data to wireless receiver module 86 via wireless transmitter module 72. Wireless receiver module 86 transmits the received image data to data processor 88, which uses an internal image analysis program to compare the captured image with a pre-acquired reference image. If the captured exhaust vent condition differs from the reference image, data processor 88 sends an alarm signal to remote monitoring center 10, alerting relevant personnel to promptly inspect and address the issue. For example, if a portion of the exhaust vent is blocked or damaged, camera 76 will capture these abnormalities, data processor 88 will identify the anomaly using an image comparison algorithm, and immediately send an alarm signal.

[0039] Throughout operation, solar panels 81 and 71 provide continuous power to mobile structures 8 and 7, ensuring 24 / 7 operation. Wind turbines further power the system when wind is available, enhancing its self-sufficiency. Batteries serve as backup power, automatically switching to power supply when sunlight and wind are insufficient, ensuring stable system operation.

[0040] In summary, this utility model's carbon emission monitoring device, through gas sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, cameras, and wireless communication modules installed on support columns, guide rails, and moving structures on both sides of the emission chimney, achieves efficient, accurate, and real-time monitoring of industrial carbon emissions, ensuring the reliability and timeliness of emission data. This device can not only monitor gas composition and concentration but also the physical state of the emitted gases, and promptly detect anomalies at the emission outlet through image comparison technology, ensuring emission compliance. The application of this utility model will significantly improve the level of industrial emission monitoring, providing strong support for environmental protection and compliant business operations.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
