Description

A settlement displacement monitoring device Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power transmission tower monitoring. Background Art

[0002] To ensure the stable operation of transmission towers, power companies have traditionally maintained them primarily through periodic manual inspections and repairs. However, this approach is not only inefficient but also relatively costly. Because tower tilt, settlement, and displacement often accumulate gradually, manual inspections alone struggle to detect all potential problems, and can easily miss subtle risks. Transmission towers, long lacking effective monitoring, require a method to accurately capture their status information, enabling timely analysis of abnormal conditions and transmitting this information to data processing centers via reliable communication.

[0003] However, transmission towers operate in harsh environments, often experiencing low temperatures. This often results in insufficient energy supply for existing information collection devices. Furthermore, monitoring abnormal tower conditions by collecting only satellite positioning data from transmission towers is limited, inaccurate, and poses safety risks.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a settlement and displacement monitoring system that can accurately obtain transmission tower status information and can continue to operate in a low-temperature environment has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1, in some embodiments, a settlement and displacement monitoring device is provided, including a central processing device, a solar energy receiving device, an external sensor, a low-temperature battery and an underground box, wherein the low-temperature battery is placed in the underground box, and the solar energy receiving device, the external sensor and the low-temperature battery are all connected to the central processing device.

[0030] The equipment buries low-temperature batteries underground because the temperature is more stable underground, helping the batteries maintain good performance even in low-temperature conditions. Rapid fluctuations in surface temperature negatively impact battery performance and lifespan, while the more constant underground temperature helps extend the battery's lifespan. Burying the batteries underground protects them from external physical impacts such as mechanical shock, animal disturbance, and other environmental factors that could cause damage, while also reducing the risk of theft. The system predicts settlement and displacement based on historical data, deriving an estimate of future displacement changes. If the predetermined settlement and displacement rate is exceeded, or if a warning level is exceeded, the system automatically issues an alarm via the cloud server.

[0031] The central processing device includes a satellite positioning module, a communication module, a sensor interface and a processor. The satellite positioning module and the sensor interface are both connected to the processor. The sensor interface is also connected to the external sensor. The processor is connected to the communication module.

[0034] As a preferred implementation, the communication module is a 4G communication module.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the satellite positioning module adopts GNSS positioning. The GNSS satellite positioning module mainly undertakes the function of settlement displacement monitoring. Through the 4G module, the cloud server transmits the differential enhancement signal to the GNSS satellite positioning module, thereby completing the enhancement of positioning accuracy.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the central processing device also includes a power management module and a solar controller, the solar controller is connected to the solar receiving device and the low-temperature battery, and the power management module is connected to the solar controller and the processor.

[0037] Specifically, the power supply consists of solar panels, low-temperature batteries, a solar controller, and a power management module. The system primarily utilizes solar energy, generating electricity by receiving and converting sunlight. The low-temperature batteries store the electricity generated by the solar panels and are specifically designed to operate normally in low-temperature environments. The solar controller manages the conversion and flow of electricity from the solar panels to the batteries, protecting them from overcharging and over-discharging, ensuring safe power usage.

[0038] The power management module is used to monitor and manage the power usage of the entire system, including real-time monitoring of current, voltage, and power. This data is transmitted to the embedded processor and further sent to the cloud server via the 4G communication module to ensure the stable operation of the device terminal.

[0039] As a preferred implementation, the central processing device further includes a storage module, which is connected to the processor, the sensor interface, and the satellite positioning module.

[0040] As a preferred implementation manner, the external sensors include a rain gauge, a soil temperature and humidity sensor, and an inclination sensor.

[0041] Specifically, the sensing component includes a GNSS satellite positioning module, a rain gauge, a soil temperature and humidity sensor, and an inclination sensor. These sensors are connected to an embedded processor via a sensor interface. The embedded processor processes the sensor data, converts it into useful information, and transmits the data to a cloud platform and backend server via a 4G communication module for further analysis.

[0042] In addition, the power management module ensures that all sensors and modules have a stable power supply, while the data storage module is responsible for storing the raw data from the sensors, ensuring that the original positioning data is stored in the case of unstable network communication so that the data can be retransmitted when the network is restored.

[0043] The transmission tower settlement and displacement monitoring system provided in this embodiment obtains real-time monitoring data by analyzing the inclination, settlement, and displacement of the tower, so as to provide timely warnings and maintenance for discovered structural stability problems. It uses solar energy to provide power to ensure continuous operation in low temperatures, avoiding transmission failures caused by lack of monitoring, and improving the safety and operational efficiency of the power grid. The low-temperature battery is used to store the electricity generated by the solar panels and can operate normally in low-temperature environments. A communication module is provided to transmit data to a cloud server so that after detecting an abnormal data alarm, the settlement and displacement trends can be predicted and analyzed, so that the base of the transmission tower can be reinforced and maintained in a timely manner, avoiding the occurrence of transmission tower collapse and line disconnection accidents, and improving the stability of the power grid system operation.
