Description

The invention relates to devices for monitoring and environmental control of national and industrial facilities. It can be used to record environmental parameters in industrial or natural emergency situations.

From the technical literature, a device for monitoring national economic facilities using unmanned and remotely piloted aircraft (UAVs) is known, see “Report Collection” at the IX International Scientific Conference on Hydro-Aviation. "Gidroaviasalon-2012", M., TsAGI, 2012, p.77-97.

This device has a television camera and a number of measuring devices installed on the UAV (unmanned aircraft, helicopter, aerostat or car). The video image and instrument data are transmitted to the command post control via space communication channels or using radio transmitters with dedicated radio frequencies. Such a device for transmitting information has a high cost, complex design and low operational adaptability.

Such a mobile monitor mounted on a UAV is not unified, it does not have a special container and it cannot be rearranged from one UAV to another.

As you know, a monitor is a video monitoring device (see Polytechnical Dictionary, M .: “Soviet Encyclopedia”, 1976, p. 298), therefore, for its simple and reliable operation on various types of UAVs or on mobile platforms, it should be performed in a unified, easily removable manner the form of a small instrument container.

A device of a mobile communication system is also known (see Pat. RF No. 2141734, class H04M 9/00), where a device for recording and storing information with its subsequent operational use is described. This device does not provide continuous monitoring of information data and measured parameters.

The closest technical solution corresponding to the invention is the application for an invention, RF No. 2007113953, class. H04M.

This device has a mobile phone containing a camera with an optical system, a display to which the image from the camera is transmitted, and a light source. Moreover, the light source is configured to focus the lighting on the optical system of the camera.

Such a device is complex; it cannot be used to transmit signals from a multi-channel information source. In addition, this device cannot be used to transmit information from a mobile monitor having multiple information displays.

The technical task of the invention is the ability to reduce the mass, complexity of the device and the ability to transmit information from multiple displays and dials on a mobile phone.

The solution to the technical problem is provided by the fact that the mobile monitor contains a portable instrument container with rectangular walls, in which the front and rear walls are parallel to each other and made in the form of cassettes, and the front cassette has a surveillance camera screen, GPS navigator, displays and control dials measuring instruments that are directed to the inside of the container, and a mobile phone is installed in the rear wall of the cassette, the lens of which is directed through the hole to the displays and digital The front cassette faces, and the outer wall of the rear cassette is formed by the front panel of the mobile phone.
