Analysis of infrared thermal imaging technology

Analysis of infrared thermal imaging technology

The development of human beings can be divided into three stages. The first stage is for humans to expand their physical activity capabilities by making tools; the second stage seeks clearer and broader standards for understanding and judging things by improving their judgment ability; In recent years, humans have endeavored to enhance the ability to obtain input information, expand the range of sensations or add new senses, so that our brain can receive more information, which is the third stage of human development. At this stage, the development of infrared technology has increased the human senses from five to six.
In the Gulf War, high-tech weapons displayed a broad platform for advanced technology, became the vane of the world's technological development, and became the direction and focus of research and development in countries around the world. These high-tech technologies have thus become new industries and investment hot spots, creating billions of wealth and unpredictable social benefits.
Among these new technologies, two technologies are satellite positioning (GPS) and infrared thermal imaging (TIS).
Satellite positioning system (also known as GPS) has been widely used in all walks of life, has become a broad industry with broad development prospects from military to civilian, its application development speed, far exceeds people's expectations, for example: in widespread use Car anti-theft positioning system, etc.
Infrared thermal imaging technology is also a very promising high-tech technology, and its large number of applications will cause revolutionary changes in many industries.

1. What is infrared thermal imaging?

The light is familiar to everyone. What is light? Light is visible light, electromagnetic waves that the human eye can feel. The wavelength of visible light is: 0.38-0.78 microns. Electromagnetic waves shorter than 0.38 microns and electromagnetic waves longer than 0.78 microns cannot be felt by the human eye. Electromagnetic waves shorter than 0.38 microns are outside the visible light spectrum purple, called ultraviolet rays, and electromagnetic waves longer than 0.78 microns are outside the visible light spectrum red, called infrared rays. Infrared, also known as infrared radiation, refers to electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of 0.78 to 1000 microns. The part with a wavelength of 0.78 to 2.0 microns is called near infrared, and the part with a wavelength of 2.0 to 1000 microns is called thermal infrared.
The camera images get the photos, and the TV camera images get the TV images, which are all visible light images. In nature, all objects can radiate infrared, so the infrared difference between the target itself and the background is measured by a detector and different infrared images can be obtained. The image formed by thermal infrared is called a heat map.
The thermal image of the target is different from the visible image of the target. It is not the visible image of the target that the human eye can see, but the image of the temperature distribution of the target surface. In other words, infrared thermal imaging prevents the human eye from directly seeing the surface temperature of the target The distribution becomes a thermal image representative of the temperature distribution on the target surface that can be seen by the human eye.

2. What are the characteristics of infrared thermal imaging?


A famous American infrared scholar pointed out: "The development of human beings can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the expansion of human physical ability by making tools, and the second stage seeks to be clearer and wider by improving judgment ability The standard of understanding and judging things. In recent years, humans have endeavored to enhance the ability to obtain input information, expand the range of sensations or add new senses, so that our brain can receive more information, which is the third stage of human development. At this stage, the development of infrared technology has increased the human senses from five to six. " With this remark, I think it is appropriate to tell the importance of infrared imaging technology in contemporary times. Because the objects around us can only emit visible light when their temperature is above 1000 ℃. In contrast, all objects around us that have a temperature above absolute zero (-273 ° C) will continuously emit thermal infrared rays. For example, we can calculate that the thermal infrared energy emitted by a normal person is about 100 watts. Therefore, thermal infrared (or thermal radiation) is the most widespread radiation in nature. In addition to the universality of heat radiation, there are two other important characteristics.
1. The atmosphere, smoke clouds, etc. absorb visible light and near infrared rays, but are transparent to thermal infrared rays of 3 to 5 microns and 8 to 14 microns. Therefore, these two bands are called the "atmospheric window" of thermal infrared. Using these two windows, people can clearly observe the situation in front of them in a completely dark night or in a battlefield covered with smoke. It is precisely because of this feature that thermal infrared imaging technology provides advanced night vision equipment for the military and installs all-weather forward-looking systems for aircraft, ships and tanks. These systems played a very important role in the Gulf War.
2. The amount of thermal radiation energy of an object is directly related to the temperature of the surface of the object. This characteristic of thermal radiation allows people to use it to perform non-contact temperature measurement and thermal state analysis on objects, thereby providing an important detection method and diagnostic tool for industrial production, energy saving, environmental protection, etc.

3. Infrared thermal imaging instruments According to the characteristics of objects that can emit infrared rays, various countries compete to develop various infrared thermal imaging instruments.
Texas Instruments (TI) first developed the first generation of thermal infrared imaging devices in 1964, called infrared forward-looking systems (FLIR). These devices use optical components to move machinery to image the thermal radiation of the target Decompose the scan, and then use photodetectors to convert light to electricity, and finally form a video image signal, and display it on the screen. The infrared forward-looking system is still an important device on military aircraft, ships and tanks.
In the mid-1960s, the Swedish AGA company and the Swedish National Electric Power Bureau developed a thermal infrared imaging device with a temperature measurement function on the basis of an infrared forward-looking device. This second-generation infrared imaging device is often called a thermal imager.
In the 1970s, the French Tom Sun Company developed an infrared thermal TV product that does not require refrigeration.
In the 1990s, there were chilled and uncooled focal plane infrared thermal imaging products. This is a latest generation of infrared TV products, which can be used for large-scale industrial production and improve the application of infrared thermal imaging to a new stage.
In the 1970s, relevant units in China had begun to study infrared thermal imaging technology. By the early 1980s, China had made certain progress in the development and production of long-wave infrared components. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, China had successfully developed real-time infrared imaging prototypes, with high sensitivity and temperature resolution.
Since the 1990s, China has developed key technologies such as low-noise wideband preamplifiers and micro-coolers in infrared imaging equipment, and has moved from experiments to applications, mainly for troops, such as portable field thermal imaging cameras. , Anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft radar, tanks, warship artillery, etc.
China has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in infrared thermal imaging technology, and has formed a considerable scale of research and development. However, in general, it is far behind the world's advanced level, and it is about 10 years behind the West.
At present, foreign countries have begun to equip the troops with the second-generation infrared thermal imager, and began the third-generation research and development work, but China is now only promoting the first-generation infrared imager.
Internationally, the United States, France, and Israel are pioneers in this regard, and other countries, including Russia, are all downstream.
In recent years, under the guidance of the Party ’s policy guidelines, China ’s infrared imaging technology has developed by leaps and bounds, and the gap with the West is gradually narrowing. The advanced nature of some equipment can also be synchronized with the West. I believe that the gap between China and the West will be further narrowed. In particular, it can be unique in the application of new technologies.
Infrared thermal imaging products can be divided into two types of refrigeration type and non-refrigeration type. Infrared TV products and non-refrigerated focal plane thermal imagers are non-refrigerated products, and others are cooled infrared thermal imagers.
At present, the most advanced infrared thermal imager has a sensitive temperature of 0.05 degrees Celsius. It can be used to detect enemies in the jungle with infrared instruments no matter day or night. The distance can be up to 100 meters. As a border anti-smuggling, it can also track the smuggling of sea flying. Its distance can be up to several kilometers.
The thermal imager can not only observe the target in real time, but also perform dynamic analysis through the "thermal trace" of its track trajectory, because the thermal dispersion of general objects has a certain time, and the thermal dispersion of some objects requires a lot of time. For example, cooking smoke ignited by the troops and vehicles that have been launched can leave "hot marks".
The first-generation thermal imager is mainly composed of optical instruments with scanning devices, electronic amplifying circuits, displays and other components. It has successfully equipped troops and made important contributions to ground observation, aerial reconnaissance, and surface insurance at night.
The second-generation thermal imager mainly uses focal plane array technology, integrates tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of signal amplifiers, places the chip on the focal plane of the optical system, and obtains a panoramic image of the target without light-machine scanning system, Greatly improve the sensitivity and thermal resolution, can further improve the detection distance and recognition ability of the target.
The third-generation thermal imager is also under development.

4. The role of infrared thermal imaging cameras in fire protection In large forests, fires are often caused by invisible hidden fires. This is the root cause of devastating fires, and it is difficult to find such hidden fire signs with the existing common methods.
However, patrolling with an airplane and using an infrared thermal imager can quickly and effectively detect these hidden fires and eliminate them in the first place.
The Canadian Forestry College began conducting forest fire tests as early as 1975. From the aircraft, it checked the potential fire sources of the unburned ground. The Canadian Forest Research Center used helicopters to use the AGA750 portable thermal imager. fire.
Grain silos tend to spontaneously ignite. This spontaneously ignited phenomenon often takes a long time, comes vigorously, and suffers large losses. At present, a thermometer is generally used to measure the temperature change of the granary to prevent it. Using a thermal imager can accurately determine the location and scope of these fires, so that we can know and prevent them as soon as possible. Using a thermal imager is convenient, simple, fast, and timely extinguished.
Infrared cameras can also be used to detect poor contact with electrical equipment and overheated mechanical parts to avoid serious short circuits and fires.
In the four years from 1980 to 1983, China conducted overheating inspections on more than 10,000 plugs in 20 power plants, 8 substations, and 24 high-voltage lines in the North China Electric Power Network using self-made thermal imaging cameras, and found more than 500 abnormal heating points The location was severely overheated at 100 locations. Due to timely treatment, there was no fire accident.
Abroad, the statistics of American insurance companies indicate that more than 25% of all electrical equipment hidden dangers are the main cause of fires, which are caused by poor plug contact. Therefore, the National Fire Protection Association ’s "Electrical Maintenance Manual 70B" provides After any electrical plug is tightened according to the specified torque, as long as this torque value does not change, it should not be tightened again in the future. Therefore, the well-made and properly installed electrical plug does not need to be tightened regularly. Only when it is found to be abnormal and overheated, it must be dealt with.
For all directly visible devices, infrared thermal imaging products can determine the thermal hazards of all connection points. For those parts that cannot be directly seen due to the shielding, you can find out the heat hazards according to the heat conduction to the external components. This is the traditional method. Except for the physical examination and cleaning the joints, There is no other way. Infrared thermal imaging products cannot replace circuit breakers, conductors, bus bars and other components for operational testing. However, infrared thermal imaging products can easily detect circuit overload or three-phase load imbalance.
MAI Corporation of the United States has conducted infrared thermal imaging product inspections on many general electrical preventive equipment and found that many of the equipment that has undergone maintenance still have electrical failures. For example, an important manufacturer of electronic products, this company carries out power outage maintenance for its electrical equipment every two years. During this power failure operation, the equipment is cleaned, all connection points are tightened and the circuit breaker is tripped. And test the installation of high and low voltage switchgear. Infrared thermal imaging product inspections performed after traditional repairs still identified some hidden dangers. There were 19 severe hidden cases found on different devices, and generally 179 hidden cases. These serious hidden dangers refer to the surface temperature of the tested equipment exceeding the maximum design temperature of NEMA or UL. Most of the hidden troubles were found on the motor control equipment, and some hidden troubles were also found on the switch gear and power disk. Another example is the preventive maintenance of equipment every six months after a fire in a major motor control center in a federal government office building. After the fire, two repairs were carried out, and another infrared thermal imaging product inspection was conducted. The result was: 3 before the serious repair and preventive repair, and 3 after the preventive repair. So the necessity of infrared thermal imaging product inspection is obvious.
In addition, using infrared thermal imaging products instead of traditional methods of cleaning and fastening can save a lot of money. There are two reasons for this savings: First, the inspection of infrared thermal imaging products is very fast, and unlike the traditional method, it takes a lot of manpower to clean and fasten the equipment. In addition, when the infrared thermal imaging product inspection is in progress, the equipment is not required to be powered off, but only after finding out the hidden troubles, it is required to be powered off for a short time when performing repairs. And the power outage for repairing individual hidden dangers is only partial, the power outage time is very limited, and it may even be scheduled to be repaired within the planned power outage time. Here are a few examples.
1), an "asset management company" in the United States implements a complete maintenance project that includes all motor control equipment, lighting, power panels and switching devices (excluding circuit breaker trip tests). The fee is based on the workload. The average maintenance cost of a typical office building (250,000 square feet, 10 floors) is $ 6,500. Infrared thermal imaging product inspection in the same building can complete the inspection of all motor controls, switchboards and switchgears (including various mechanical equipment) in just one day. The infrared thermal imaging product inspection service fee is about US $ 600 to US $ 800 . Therefore, the cost of infrared thermal imaging products is only 1/10 of the cost of traditional methods.
2) Before signing the infrared thermal imaging product inspection contract, an "Electronic Equipment Manufacturing Plant" uses a four-day power outage, and three groups of five electricians perform traditional maintenance. Workers work 12 hours a day to clean and tighten Connection points in all switching devices, motor control equipment and power panels. The labor cost for these jobs is US $ 30,000. The inspection of infrared thermal imaging products of the same equipment was also carried out for 4 days, and was completed with the assistance of two factory workers. The cost was only US $ 3,000.
3), a large-scale "office / hotel / sales commercial complex" carries out traditional maintenance of high and low switching devices every three years, and the cost of cleaning and fastening work during the maintenance period is at least US $ 20,000. The inspection of infrared thermal imaging products on the same equipment took only 12 hours and cost only 2,000 US dollars. 12 hidden dangers were found, two of which were serious hidden fire hazards.
4) Through the inspection and analysis of infrared thermal imaging products, the annual cost of a "small American factory" will be reduced from 160 to 40 man-hours. For example, according to the cost of 25 USD / hour (including overtime), the annual savings of 120 hours, that is, 3000 USD can be saved.
According to the above experience of the United States, replacing the regular cleaning and fastening work in traditional maintenance with infrared thermal imaging product inspection can save costs by 50% -90%, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of fire. For example, during July-August 1985, the Washington Post described the fire, personal injury, property damage, and production and tax losses caused by these accidents on the front page based on many electrical equipment power outages that occur almost every day. . For example, a power outage at a local hotel caused a loss of $ 6.5 million. To avoid the power outages mentioned above, many commercial and industrial organizations often spend a lot of money performing preventive maintenance work. Unfortunately, these tasks not only often fail to discover the existing hidden dangers, but also may cause new electrical hidden dangers. Therefore, the inspection of infrared thermal imaging products of electrical equipment can replace traditional preventive maintenance in many ways.
The United States Bulletin No. 375 of "Equipment Operation and Production Control Technology" states that both new and old buildings can benefit from the inspection of infrared thermal imaging products. Nearly 50 companies in the United States provide infrared thermal imaging product inspection services for all electrical equipment and power distribution systems of customers, including high-voltage contactors, fuse panels, main power circuit breaker panels, contactors, and all distribution lines, Infrared thermal imaging inspection of motors, transformers, etc., to ensure that all electrical equipment of the customer does not have latent thermal hazards, and effectively prevent the occurrence of fire. Statistics from American insurance companies have also shown that inspection of infrared thermal imaging products on all electrical equipment can greatly reduce unsafe factors and save a lot of insurance expenses. Below are some facilities that require inspection of infrared thermal imaging products.
1), Various electrical devices: Potential problems such as loose or poor contact, unbalanced load, overload, overheating, etc. can be found. The potential impact of these hidden dangers is arcing, short circuit, burnout, and fire. Their average repair cost is 10,000 to 50,000 US dollars; replacement requires 80,000 to 100,000 US dollars, and the construction period is a few weeks to several months.
2) Transformer: Hidden joints that can be found are loose joints, overheated casing, poor contact (tap converter), overload, unbalanced three-phase load, and blocked cooling pipes. Its effects are arcing, short circuit, burnout, and fire. Rewinding costs 10,000 to 50,000 US dollars, to replace 80,000-140,000 US dollars, the construction period is a few weeks or months.
3), Motor, generator: The hidden dangers that can be found are excessive bearing temperature, unbalanced load, short-circuit or open circuit of the winding, carbon brush, slip ring and collector ring heating, overload and overheating, cooling pipe blockage. The effect is that the faulty bearing can cause damage to the iron core or the winding ring, and the faulty carbon brush can damage the slip ring and the current collecting ring, and thus damage the winding coil. It may also cause damage to the drive target. The motor rewinding coil (5000 horsepower) needs 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, and replacement requires 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars. The construction period is a few weeks to several months.
4), electrical equipment maintenance inspection, roof leak detection, energy saving inspection, environmental protection inspection, security and theft prevention, forest fire prevention, nondestructive testing, quality control, medical inspection, etc. are also very effective.
In addition, there is also an example of using thermal imaging for electrical equipment charge inspection in Beijing: before the new embassy of the Canadian Embassy in China was commissioned, a company in Hong Kong was commissioned in September 1992 to use the thermal imaging equipment produced by the United States The internal electrical equipment was subjected to a comprehensive inspection of fire and thermal hazards, and a thermal imaging inspection service fee of USD 4,000 was paid. In fact, the preparation time is not calculated, and the actual time for inspection is only one day.
Similarly, infrared thermal imaging products are also very useful in the investigation of fire and explosion accidents. Infrared thermal imaging has become more and more important in the legal affairs of fire and other accidents, especially around the complex technical issues related to loss of life or property. Losses caused by fires and explosions often involve thermal hazards, thermal propagation, etc., and these conditions can be quickly observed and recorded with infrared thermal imaging products, so infrared thermal imaging is a strong visual evidence that can make non- Professionals are also clear at a glance, and can make fair decisions and trials of losses. The following are several examples of the use of infrared thermal imaging in the investigation of fire and explosion accidents.
Local governments and insurance companies in the United States often require analysis of the causes of personal and property losses. Corresponding investigations may not find criminal acts, such as murder or arson. But the investigation can discover the equipment failure and damage status, and how to avoid these problems in the future. Thermal images on burnt buildings often enable people to understand the real situation of how a fire or explosion occurs. And experimentally reproduce the process of fire, explosion or equipment damage to supplement the understanding of the incident. Infrared thermal imaging provides a very good visual means to analyze and reproduce accidents caused by heat. Infrared and video recordings of experimental fires, explosions, and equipment damage enable people to have a deeper understanding of their causes.
In the United States, explosions cause millions of dollars in property damage each year. When detecting experts investigate and analyze these events and determine the possible causes, they often use the method of recurring events to understand the explosion mechanism. For example, using infrared thermal imaging products to take a set of photos to show the explosion occurred in a car, used to simulate an accident caused by terrorists or arsonists. In these infrared thermal images, white represents heat and black represents cold. It is used to artificially reproduce the explosion phenomenon, analyze the accident, and determine the type and cause of the accident. Here are a few examples.
1) In a test car, a one-gallon barrel of gasoline was placed on the driver's seat, and a pound of explosive was placed under it. The explosive was detonated remotely by electronic instruments. Infrared thermal imaging video can record the test vehicle at about 0.04 seconds after the explosion, showing the fireball emitted from gasoline, the range of radiation emitted after the accident, and the development of the subsequent explosion. This heat profile, which can only be obtained by infrared thermal imaging, shows the range of heat conduction during and after explosion. It is easy to identify the projectile trajectories of explosive debris by replaying thermal image recordings, and these trajectories are often not found when replaying visible light recordings. The thermal image left on the exterior of the vehicle can indicate the high temperature distribution area, which is often used as a clue to find the source of the accident.
2) Another similar test is to use abandoned houses as the test target. In this test, 0.25 pounds of C4 explosive was placed under a can of one gallon of gasoline. The results show the initial state of the test house, the initial thermal state and a series of subsequent situations, including the thermal state 3 seconds after the explosion, the residual heat emitted by the explosion and its initial cause of ignition, and further expansion after a few minutes Can be seen for fire.
The procedure for analyzing the cause and source of fire in the United States is similar to the analysis of explosion accidents. The identification of thermal images can help people determine the cause of the fire and provide information on the cause of the accident for detailed inspection of the fire point. Here are a few examples.
1) For example, infrared thermal imaging video can show the process of fire in a car. Acetone and polystyrene are mixed together to form a spherical plastic mass, which is located near the steering rod in the engine room and is ignited. Infrared thermal imaging video can show the fire after about 3 minutes, the local heating in the protective glass window is obvious. It can also show that hot gas enters the passenger compartment through the fire wall, and the higher radiation emitted from the windows confirms this situation. In addition, infrared thermal imaging video shows the volatile gas leaking from the engine room, showing the process of volatile liquid leakage and combustion. In addition, the infrared thermal image recording can also show that the flame in the fire zone is extinguishing. The thermal image can clearly describe the various stages of the fire process, and it is being used in the training of fire investigators.
2) Infrared thermal imaging video of a fire test in an abandoned house can show that a firefighter is placing the igniting liquid mixture and shaking the chloride powder stored in a cabinet, and the subsequent development of the fire. The hot air flow formed from top to bottom, as can be seen from these infrared thermal imaging videos, the speed of heat conduction from the fire point in the cabinet is very fast.
3) Fires and explosions caused by mechanical or electrical equipment manufacturing problems are often concerned by investigators. For example, in a house, a fire caused by a heater failure caused a person to die from smoke. When inspecting a floor-standing heater, as long as it is exactly the same as the heater that caused the fire, the thermal image of the heater during operation can be obtained, and you can see that the hot test point on the thermal image is at the high temperature limit Near the switch, it was determined that the fault was caused by the copper wire, which was enough to ignite the debris and powder inside the heater, and the bottom box to protect the high limit switch. The high-temperature bright spot seen on the thermal image exceeds the temperature rating of the wire insulation. In this environment, the aging of the wire will inevitably lead to a short circuit and cause a fire. The thermal image not only provides a quantitative temperature value, but also provides an obvious and intuitive description of the way the fault occurs.
4) An overheated belt traction wheel, this belt traction wheel tries to drive a blocked compressor. The question answered from this test is how high the temperature between the V-belt and the belt traction wheel can ignite the flammable gas near this equipment. A flammable gas with a ignition temperature of 6000 F was ignited, and a nearby compressor exploded, causing serious damage to the oil processing plant and casualties. The temperature is measured at the outer edge of the wheel using the infrared thermal image, and the obtained information is used as the boundary condition of the finite element heat conduction analysis. The calculation results show that the temperature between the fan belt traction wheel and the belt exceeds 8000 F. This temperature is to ignite flammable gases, which are leaked from the oil processing plant equipment of the factory due to negligence.
5) After the fire, American investigators collected evidence from witnesses, fire departments, police and the scene. In situations where mechanical or electrical equipment may cause a fire, infrared thermal imaging data obtained from past energy calculations or equipment analysis may be useful. For example, a thermal image of an air hander with an overheated motor and fan belt traction wheels. The heat emitted from the belt and the belt traction wheel quickly passed through the metal casing on the outside of the device. In the future, if it is suspected that this air transmission device may cause a fire, the infrared thermal image of the device that is almost damaged can be an important basis for explaining the cause of the fire.

Fifth, the application of infrared thermal imager in safety precautions Infrared thermal imager has been widely used in safety precaution system because of its special features, and has become a star in safety monitoring system.
The infrared thermal imager has a concealed detection function. It does not require visible light, which can make criminals unaware of their working location and existence, thus producing wrong judgments and leading to the uncovering of criminal behavior.
In some very important units, such as: important administrative centers, bank vaults, confidential rooms, military sites, prisons, etc., it is especially used for this kind of infrared thermal imager, it can be in operation for 24 hours, and at any time Analyze the background information, and if there is a change, you can send out an alarm in time, and you can automatically handle the relevant situation through the processing of smart devices, and report the situation at any time to obtain further processing opinions.
For these special important departments, the sensitivity of their prevention is much higher than that of other prevention systems. For example, if they leave work in these units, as long as someone is hiding inside, the system will generate an alarm signal.
As everyone knows, border defense is a very difficult thing. China ’s borders are very long, and the ocean is vast. Due to the harsh outdoor environment, many systems are unlikely to serve as a preventive role, especially on rainy, snowy, foggy, and windy days, border patrol is also a very difficult task . If personnel patrol is used and observations are made with telescopes, the observation effect is often poor due to the short wavelength of visible light, resulting in the phenomenon of missed, mischecked and mischecked.
Infrared thermal imager can detect infrared rays with short wavelength, so it can be observed from a long distance, especially suitable for wind and rain weather. According to Hong Kong's "Dongfang Daily" report: The Hong Kong police placed five infrared thermal imaging cameras in a border area. During the trial process, it successfully cracked many cases of illegal immigrants, and the efficiency was much higher than the original manual inspection. Therefore, the Hong Kong police plan to purchase a new system this year to strengthen the prevention of illegal immigration cases.
On the coast, infrared thermal imaging cameras can quickly track ships going to and from. Smuggling by the sea is now often carried out by "big flying". These "big flying" have no lights, high horsepower, and strong maneuverability. They are often easy to get rid of our private officers and border guards. Distance tracking these "big flying", even in the radar ground corners, this system can also operate normally, especially in the dark night and bad weather, can give full play to its good features.
In the same way, infrared thermal imaging cameras can be applied to the perimeter defense of living communities, and the perimeter defense of important areas can achieve the effects that are not easily achieved by general surveillance systems. , It is easy to produce dead corners during installation, which is not conducive to comprehensive control of the monitoring surface. Another point is that it is easily disturbed, such as the invasion of small animals. Installing an infrared thermal imager can overcome the above two shortcomings and reduce false alarms.
In China, with the expansion of urban traffic and the extension of various highways and railways, the normal operation of these systems has also become a great problem, especially during night safety inspections. The aircraft can successfully complete these tasks. It can find blocked vehicles, malfunctioning cars, and targets that need to be locked. In foreign countries, many units have actually used these systems to conduct inspections.

A Battery Charger supplies current to the base plate. Once the AGV is in charging position and the collector has made contact with the base plate, the AGV computer turns on the current.

The base plate has chamfered entry/exit ramps to facilitate smooth drive-on/drive-off of the spring loaded collector.


A battery charging contact consists of a base plate, which is installed on the floor or laterally at a bracket adjacent of the AGV runway, and a current collector which is installed on the vehicle.

 

Battery charging stations may be installed anywhere within the system where the production process allows the AGV to stop (staging areas, turn arounds, loading stops etc.).
