[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the modules of the first embodiment of the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and power stations proposed in this application. Figure 1 This application presents the first embodiment of the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and power stations.
[0023] In this embodiment, the intelligent inspection equipment for the power plant includes: multiple camera groups 100, a data processing unit 200, and a visualization board 300; each camera group is connected to the input end of the data processing unit 200, and the output end of the data processing unit 200 is connected to the visualization board 300; all of the multiple camera groups are installed on the oiling equipment.
[0024] It should be noted that each camera group is connected to the input end of the data processing unit 200, meaning that the data collected by the camera group is transmitted to the data processing unit 200. The output end of the data processing unit 200 is connected to the visualization dashboard 300, and the processed results are sent to the visualization dashboard 300 for display. This connection method constructs a complete data flow from acquisition to processing to display.
[0025] Each of the aforementioned camera groups is used to collect equipment parameters at different locations of the oiling equipment.
[0026] It should be understood that multiple camera groups 100 are all installed on the oil-passing equipment. The oil-passing equipment is a critical piece of equipment in the power plant, and its operational status directly affects the normal operation of the power plant. Installing camera groups on the oil-passing equipment allows for direct and accurate acquisition of various information about the equipment. The main function of each camera group is to collect equipment parameters at different locations on the oil-passing equipment. These parameters may include various information such as temperature, pressure, oil level, and the equipment's external appearance. By setting up camera groups at different locations, the operation of the oil-passing equipment can be monitored comprehensively and meticulously, avoiding blind spots in monitoring.
[0027] The data processing unit 200 is used to convert the received device parameters into visualization parameters and output them to the visualization dashboard 300.
[0028] It should be noted that the data processing unit 200 receives device parameters from each camera group and processes these parameters. Specifically, the data processing unit 200 converts the received device parameters into visual parameters. Visual parameters are a more easily understood and displayed form of data; they can present complex device parameters in intuitive graphical, chart, or numerical forms, facilitating subsequent analysis and judgment. After processing, the data processing unit 200 outputs the visual parameters to the visualization dashboard 300.
[0029] The visualization dashboard 300 is used to display the visualization parameters.
[0030] It should be understood that the Visual Dashboard 300 is an information display terminal for the intelligent inspection equipment. Its main function is to display the visual parameters output by the data processing unit 200. Through the Visual Dashboard 300, staff can intuitively see the operating status and related parameters of the oiling equipment without the need for complex data interpretation and analysis. This helps staff quickly identify problems or anomalies in the equipment and take timely measures to address them, thereby improving the equipment's operating efficiency and safety.
[0031] In this embodiment, the intelligent inspection equipment for the plant and power station includes: multiple camera groups 100, a data processing unit 200, and a visualization dashboard 300; each camera group is connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200, and the output terminal of the data processing unit 200 is connected to the visualization dashboard 300; the multiple camera groups are all installed on the oiling equipment; each camera group is used to collect equipment parameters at different locations on the oiling equipment; the data processing unit 200 is used to convert the received equipment parameters into visual parameters and output them to the visualization dashboard 300; the visualization dashboard 300 is used to display the visual parameters. This solution uses multiple camera groups 100 installed on the oiling equipment to collect equipment parameters at different locations, and the data processing unit 200 converts the received parameters into visual parameters and outputs them to the visualization dashboard 300 for display. This solves the problem that traditional manual shift-based on-site inspections cannot guarantee numerical accuracy due to the lack of precise control over the observation angle. Compared with existing technologies, the installation of multiple camera groups 100 in preset positions ensures that the observation angle is consistent each time the equipment parameters are collected, avoiding numerical deviations caused by differences in observation angles during manual inspection. The data processing unit 200 converts the parameters into visual parameters and displays them uniformly on the visualization dashboard 300, making the inspection values more accurate and reliable, and achieving the technical effect of improving the accuracy of inspection values.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and substations proposed in this application. Based on the first embodiment of the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and substations described above, this application presents a second embodiment of the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and substations.
[0033] In this embodiment, the plurality of camera groups 100 include: a liquid level recognition camera group 110, a leakage detection camera group 120, an instrument monitoring camera group 130, and a thermal imaging camera group 140; the liquid level recognition camera group 110, the leakage detection camera group 120, the instrument monitoring camera group 130, and the thermal imaging camera group 140 are respectively connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200, and the output terminal of the data processing unit 200 is connected to the visualization dashboard 300.
[0034] It should be noted that the multiple camera groups 100 in this embodiment are not of a single type, but rather include four different functional camera groups: a liquid level recognition camera group 110, a leakage detection camera group 120, an instrument monitoring camera group 130, and a thermal imaging camera group 140. This diverse camera group setup is designed to comprehensively and accurately acquire relevant information about the oiling equipment from multiple dimensions, meeting the monitoring needs for different aspects of the oiling equipment's operating status.
[0035] It should be understood that the liquid level recognition camera group 110, the leakage detection camera group 120, the instrument monitoring camera group 130, and the thermal imaging camera group 140 are respectively connected to the input end of the data processing unit 200, while the output end of the data processing unit 200 is connected to the visualization dashboard 300. This connection method establishes a clear data transmission path: each camera group is responsible for collecting different information from the oiling equipment and transmitting this information to the data processing unit 200; after further processing the received information, the data processing unit 200 transmits the visualization data to the visualization dashboard 300 for display. Through this connection, a complete process from data collection to processing to display is realized.
[0036] The liquid level recognition camera group 110 is used to automatically identify the liquid level in the oil tank and record the liquid level information, and transmit the liquid level information to the data processing unit 200.
[0037] It should be noted that the liquid level recognition camera group 110 has the function of automatically recognizing the liquid level in the oil tank. During the operation of the oil transfer equipment, the liquid level in the oil tank is a crucial parameter, directly affecting the normal operation and safety of the equipment. The liquid level recognition camera group 110 can accurately identify the liquid level in the oil tank and transmit the recorded liquid level information to the data processing unit 200 for subsequent analysis and processing of the liquid level data.
[0038] The leakage detection camera group 120 is used to detect leakage information of oil-filled equipment and transmit the leakage information to the data processing unit 200.
[0039] It should be understood that the primary task of the leak detection camera group 120 is to detect leaks in oil-contaminated equipment. If leaks occur during the operation of oil-contaminated equipment, it not only wastes resources but may also lead to safety accidents. The leak detection camera group 120 can promptly detect leaks in the equipment and transmit the leak information to the data processing unit 200, providing a basis for personnel to take appropriate maintenance and handling measures.
[0040] The instrument monitoring camera group 130 is used to record instrument information and transmit the instrument information to the data processing unit 200.
[0041] It should be noted that the instrument monitoring camera group 130 is used to record instrument information. Oil handling equipment is typically equipped with various instruments, such as pressure gauges and flow meters, which can visually display the equipment's operating parameters. The instrument monitoring camera group 130 can accurately record this instrument information and transmit it to the data processing unit 200 for real-time monitoring and analysis of the equipment's operating status.
[0042] The thermal imaging camera group 140 is used to monitor the temperature information of the temperature control device and transmit the temperature information to the data processing unit 200.
[0043] It should be understood that the thermal imaging camera group 140 can monitor the temperature information of the temperature control equipment. In oil filtration equipment, temperature control is crucial; excessively high or low temperatures can affect the equipment's performance and lifespan. The thermal imaging camera group 140, through thermal imaging technology, can monitor the temperature distribution of the temperature control equipment in real time and transmit the temperature information to the data processing unit 200, helping personnel to promptly detect temperature anomalies and take appropriate measures.
[0044] The data processing unit 200 is used to extract visual data from the liquid level information, the leakage information, the instrument information and the temperature information, and transmit the visual data to the visualization dashboard 300 for display.
[0045] It should be noted that the data processing unit 200 receives liquid level information, leakage information, instrument information, and temperature information from the liquid level recognition camera group 110, the leakage detection camera group 120, the instrument monitoring camera group 130, and the thermal imaging camera group 140. Then, the data processing unit 200 extracts the visualized data from this information, presenting the equipment's operating status in a more intuitive and understandable way. Finally, the data processing unit 200 transmits the extracted visualized data to the visualization dashboard 300 for display, allowing staff to promptly understand the equipment's operating status.
[0046] The oil tank includes a leaking tank, a low-level tank, and a high-level tank; the liquid level recognition camera group 110 includes a leaking tank liquid level camera 111, a low-level tank liquid level camera 112, and a high-level tank liquid level camera 113; the leaking tank liquid level camera 111, the low-level tank liquid level camera 112, and the high-level tank liquid level camera 113 are respectively connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200.
[0047] It should be noted that the oil leakage tank is mainly used to collect leaked oil generated during the operation of oil-contaminated equipment, preventing oil from flowing freely and causing environmental pollution and safety hazards. It also facilitates centralized treatment and recovery of leaked oil. The low-level oil tank typically serves as a storage and initial supply unit for oil. It stores a certain amount of oil to provide basic oil support for relevant equipment when needed, ensuring stable operation under normal conditions. The high-level oil tank is generally located at a higher position, utilizing gravity to provide oil supply to the system in emergencies. When a sudden fault in the power station causes a disruption in normal oil supply, the oil in the high-level tank can automatically flow into the equipment by gravity, maintaining short-term operation and buying time for fault handling, preventing equipment damage due to lack of oil.
[0048] It should be understood that, in order to accurately monitor the liquid level of the three different types of oil tanks, the liquid level recognition camera group 110 is equipped with a leaking tank liquid level camera 111, a low-level oil tank liquid level camera 112, and a high-level oil tank liquid level camera 113. Each camera is specifically designed and arranged for the specific type of oil tank to ensure that the liquid level information inside the tank can be clearly and accurately obtained.
[0049] The oil transfer equipment includes: three unit corridor layers and an oil receiver; the leakage detection camera group 120 includes: three unit corridor layer cameras 121 and an oil receiver camera 122.
[0050] It should be understood that the generator corridor level is a crucial area for the operation of power plant units, containing numerous pipes, lines, and components related to oil transfer and equipment operation. Due to the large volume of oil flow and equipment operation involved during unit operation, oil leakage is prone to occur in the corridor level, such as due to poor sealing at pipe connections or aging equipment. Leaking oil not only wastes resources but can also pose safety hazards, such as causing fires or corrosion to surrounding equipment. The oil receiver is a critical device in the power plant for receiving and distributing oil, playing a vital role in the oil circulation system. The normal operation of the oil receiver is essential for ensuring the stability of the entire oil system; leakage in the oil receiver directly affects the supply and distribution of oil, thus impacting the normal operation of the unit.
[0051] It should be noted that the three unit corridor level cameras 121 are respectively arranged for the corridor level of the three units, which can comprehensively cover all areas of the corridor level and monitor the pipelines and equipment in the corridor level in real time, so as to detect signs of oil leakage in a timely manner. The oil receiver camera 122 is specifically used to monitor the operating status of the oil receiver, focusing on observing whether there is oil leakage, whether the sealing parts are intact, etc., to ensure that the oil receiver can receive and distribute oil normally.
[0052] The three unit corridor layer cameras 121 and the oil receiver camera 122 are respectively connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200.
[0053] It should be understood that each camera collects real-time image information of its corresponding area. These images contain crucial information such as the appearance of the oiling equipment and whether there is any oil leakage. The cameras convert the collected image information into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the data processing unit 200 via connecting lines. The data processing unit 200, as the core of the entire system, receives image data from each camera. It uses image recognition and analysis algorithms to process and analyze this image data to determine whether oil leakage exists. For example, by comparing images under normal conditions with real-time images, abnormal oil traces can be identified, thereby determining the location and extent of the leakage. The data processing unit 200 transmits the processed results, such as the location and severity of the leakage, to subsequent display equipment (such as the visualization dashboard 300), allowing staff to promptly understand the operating status of the oiling equipment and take appropriate measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power station.
[0054] The instruments include: a pressure gauge, an excitation variable temperature controller, and a plant transformer temperature controller; the instrument monitoring camera group 130 includes: a pressure gauge macro camera 131, an excitation variable temperature controller macro camera 132, and a plant transformer temperature controller macro camera 133.
[0055] It should be noted that pressure gauges are primarily used to monitor the pressure in relevant equipment and pipelines within the power plant. Pressure is a crucial parameter in the power plant's operation; excessively high pressure can lead to equipment damage, pipeline rupture, and other safety accidents, while excessively low pressure can affect the normal operating efficiency of equipment. Through pressure gauges, staff can monitor pressure changes within the system in real time, adjust operating parameters promptly, and ensure the pressure remains within a safe and reasonable range. The excitation transformer is a vital device in the power plant that provides excitation current to the generator, and its temperature control is paramount. The excitation transformer generates heat during operation; if the temperature is too high, it will accelerate the aging of the equipment's insulation materials, reduce the equipment's reliability and lifespan, and may even cause equipment failure. The excitation transformer temperature controller can monitor the temperature of the excitation transformer in real time, providing staff with temperature information so that appropriate heat dissipation or protective measures can be taken. The substation temperature controller is a key device in the power plant that provides power to the electrical equipment within the plant. Similar to the excitation transformer, the substation temperature controller also generates heat during operation, and its temperature also requires strict monitoring. The plant transformer temperature controller can reflect the temperature status of the plant transformer in real time, helping staff to detect temperature abnormalities in a timely manner, prevent equipment damage due to excessive temperature, and ensure a stable power supply in the plant.
[0056] It should be understood that the pressure gauge macro camera 131 is specifically designed to capture the pressure gauge dial display. Since pressure gauge dials are typically small and display detailed information, a macro camera can clearly capture key information such as pressure values, units, and pointer positions, ensuring accurate data readings. The excitation transformer temperature controller macro camera 132 is designed for excitation transformer temperature controllers, enabling close-up imaging of the controller's display screen. It clearly shows the current temperature of the excitation transformer, temperature trends, and potential alarm information, providing detailed temperature data for operators. The plant transformer temperature controller macro camera 133 is similar to the excitation transformer temperature controller macro camera 132, used to capture the display content of the plant transformer temperature controller, accurately obtaining the plant transformer's temperature information, facilitating monitoring of the plant transformer's operating status by operators.
[0057] The pressure gauge macro camera 131, the excitation variable temperature controller macro camera 132, and the plant transformer temperature controller macro camera 133 are respectively connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200.
[0058] It should be noted that each macro camera captures real-time images of the corresponding instrument display and converts this image information into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the data processing unit 200 via connecting lines. The high-precision shooting capability of the cameras ensures the clarity and accuracy of the images, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent data processing. The data processing unit 200, as the core of the system, receives image data from each macro camera. It uses advanced image recognition and analysis technology to extract and interpret information such as instrument values and pointer positions from the images. For example, it accurately identifies the pressure value on the pressure gauge through image recognition algorithms and converts it into a processable digital signal. The data processing unit 200 transmits the processed instrument data to subsequent display equipment (such as the visualization dashboard 300) or the control system. Personnel can intuitively view the real-time data of the instruments through the display equipment and promptly understand the operating status of the equipment. Simultaneously, the control system can automatically adjust and control based on this data to ensure the power station equipment operates under safe and stable conditions.
[0059] The temperature control equipment includes: three unit carbon brushes, a GIS chamber, and a switch chamber; the thermal imaging camera group 140 includes: three unit carbon brush thermal imaging cameras 141, a GIS chamber thermal imaging camera 142, and a switch chamber thermal imaging camera 143.
[0060] It should be understood that carbon brushes are key components in generators and other equipment used to introduce or extract current into rotating parts. During unit operation, friction occurs between the carbon brushes and slip rings, generating heat. If the carbon brush temperature is too high, it can lead to accelerated wear, poor contact, and even serious accidents such as fires, affecting the normal operation and power generation efficiency of the unit. The GIS room houses a large number of high-voltage electrical devices, which generate heat during operation due to the flow of current. Excessive temperature can affect the insulation performance of the equipment, accelerate the aging of insulation materials, reduce the reliability and lifespan of the equipment, and in severe cases, may lead to equipment failure, affecting the stable power supply of the grid. The switch room houses various switching devices used to control and distribute electrical energy. Switching devices generate heat during operation, especially during frequent operation or when large currents pass through, resulting in a more significant temperature rise. Excessive temperature may cause oxidation of the switch contacts, increase contact resistance, lead to decreased switch performance, and even cause switch failure, affecting the normal operation of the power system.
[0061] It should be noted that the three-unit carbon brush thermal imaging camera 141 is specifically designed to monitor the temperature distribution of the carbon brushes in the three units. It receives infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visual thermal image, clearly showing the temperature differences of various parts of the carbon brush. Staff can quickly identify areas of abnormal temperature based on the thermal image and determine if there is a potential overheating hazard. The GIS room thermal imaging camera 142 monitors the temperature of equipment inside the GIS room. Due to the dense arrangement of equipment in the GIS room, traditional temperature monitoring methods may have blind spots, while the thermal imaging camera can comprehensively and non-contactly monitor the surface temperature of equipment, promptly detecting localized overheating and providing a basis for equipment maintenance and repair. The switch room thermal imaging camera 143 monitors the temperature of switchgear and other related components inside the switchgear room. It can capture real-time temperature changes of the switchgear, helping staff determine whether the switches are operating normally and preventing switch failures due to overheating.
[0062] The three unit carbon brush thermal imaging cameras 141, the GIS room thermal imaging camera 142, and the switch room thermal imaging camera 143 are respectively connected to the input terminal of the data processing unit 200.
[0063] It should be understood that each thermal imaging camera acquires thermal image data of its corresponding area in real time and converts this data into electrical signals, which are then transmitted to the data processing unit 200 via connecting lines. The high sensitivity and high resolution of the thermal imaging cameras ensure accurate capture of subtle temperature changes on the equipment surface. The data processing unit 200, as the core of the system, receives thermal image data from each thermal imaging camera. It uses advanced image processing and analysis algorithms to interpret and analyze the thermal images, extracting temperature information of the equipment, such as the highest temperature, lowest temperature, average temperature, and temperature distribution. Simultaneously, the data processing unit 200 can also determine whether the equipment is experiencing overheating abnormalities based on preset temperature thresholds. The data processing unit 200 transmits the processed temperature data and abnormal alarm information to subsequent display devices (such as a large monitoring screen) or the control system. Staff can visually view the equipment's temperature status through the display devices and promptly understand whether there are any potential overheating hazards. When the data processing unit 200 detects that the equipment temperature exceeds the preset threshold, it will immediately issue an alarm signal, reminding staff to take appropriate measures, such as adjusting operating parameters or performing equipment maintenance, to prevent accidents.
[0064] The data processing unit 200 also has reserved third-party interfaces, including a monitoring system interface and a speed controller system interface.
[0065] It should be noted that the reserved third-party interfaces enable the data processing unit 200 to connect and interact with other different types of systems. During the operation of the power plant, new monitoring equipment, speed governors, or other related systems may be introduced. Through these interfaces, new equipment can be easily connected to the existing data processing network without requiring large-scale modifications to the data processing unit 200, greatly improving the system's compatibility and scalability.
[0066] The monitoring system interface and the speed controller system interface are respectively integrated on the housing of the data processing unit 200 and connected to the internal circuitry of the data processing unit 200.
[0067] It should be understood that, for example, the monitoring system interface is mainly used to connect the monitoring system of the power plant, realizing data transmission between the monitoring system and the data processing unit 200. The monitoring system can collect real-time operating status information of various equipment in the power plant, such as parameters like temperature, pressure, flow rate, and vibration, as well as equipment switch status and fault alarm information. Through the monitoring system interface, this data can be promptly transmitted to the data processing unit 200 for further analysis and processing.
[0068] The visualization dashboard 300 is a control room screen; the control room screen is connected to the output of the data processing unit 200 via a data transmission line.
[0069] It should be noted that the data processing unit 200 processes and analyzes the collected equipment data (such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) and operating parameters (such as power, voltage, current, etc.), and then transmits them in real time to the control room's large screen for display via data transmission lines. Staff can view this real-time data at any time to understand the power plant's operating status. For example, the large screen can display the generator set's output power curve in real time, allowing staff to judge whether the unit's operating efficiency is stable based on curve changes. The control room's large screen not only displays real-time data but also provides historical data query and analysis functions. Staff can use the operating interface on the large screen to query equipment operating data and parameter changes over a specific historical period. Analysis of historical data can reveal patterns and potential problems in equipment operation, providing a basis for equipment maintenance and upkeep. For example, by analyzing the generator set's historical power data, future operating trends can be predicted, allowing for advance scheduling of maintenance.
[0070] The intelligent inspection equipment for the factory and power station also includes: a wireless communication module 400; the wireless communication module 400 is connected to the data processing unit 200 via a circuit board, and the wireless communication module 400 is wirelessly connected to the APP terminal.
[0071] It should be understood that traditional wired communication methods have many drawbacks in the complex environments of factories and power plants, such as difficult wiring, high costs, and poor flexibility. The emergence of the wireless communication module 400 completely eliminates the constraints of cables, allowing inspection equipment to move freely in any corner of the power plant, unrestricted by geographical location or wiring layout, greatly improving inspection efficiency and coverage. Factory and power plants are typically characterized by large spaces, dense equipment, and strong electromagnetic interference. The wireless communication module 400, specially designed and optimized, possesses excellent anti-interference capabilities, enabling stable operation in complex electromagnetic environments and ensuring accurate data transmission. Furthermore, it can adapt to different environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, guaranteeing normal communication under various harsh operating conditions.
[0072] In this embodiment, through the coordinated operation of the aforementioned components, the intelligent inspection equipment for the power plant can comprehensively and accurately acquire information such as liquid level, leakage, instrument status, and temperature of the oil-passing equipment, and display this information to the staff in a visual manner. This helps staff to promptly identify problems and anomalies in the equipment, improves the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment, and provides strong support for the stable operation of the power plant. By setting up dedicated cameras for oil-passing equipment in different areas, all key parts can be fully covered, avoiding the occurrence of monitoring blind spots. At the same time, connecting the cameras to the data processing unit 200 realizes automated data collection, processing, and analysis, improving the efficiency and accuracy of leakage detection, helping to promptly detect and handle leakage problems, reducing safety risks and economic losses caused by oil leakage, and ensuring the normal operation of the power plant.
[0073] In addition, this application also proposes an intelligent inspection system for power plants and power stations, which includes the intelligent inspection equipment for power plants and power stations as described above.
[0074] Since the intelligent inspection system for power plants and power stations adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
