Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a steel tower mounting device capable of reliably, promptly and safely detecting a defective part such as a crack in a steel tower mounting device such as a suspension insulator for supporting a steel tower. The present invention relates to a vibration measuring device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The inventor of the present application has proposed a vibration measuring device for an insulator device that supports an overhead power transmission line, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 35351/1990. This measuring device irradiates a laser beam on the surface of the suspension insulator constituting the insulator device, and a laser beam generator for insulator vibration for mechanically vibrating the suspension insulator, and a laser beam for detecting vibration on the surface of the suspension insulator. A laser beam generator for vibration detection, a receiver for receiving the reflected laser light (object reflected light) that is emitted from the laser light generator and reflected from the suspension insulator, and the reflected laser light as the original laser light. It is configured by a vibration detection device that interferes with each other and detects the vibration of the suspension insulator from the interference light, and a voice conversion device that converts the detection signal output from the vibration detection device into audible voice. Then, the quality of the suspended insulator is determined by the state of the audible sound.

[0003]

The back surface of the suspension insulator is usually formed concentrically with the folds on the back surface of the cap portion in order to increase the creeping insulation distance. Since the irradiation light on the measurement object is spot-like, the probability that the reflected light from the insulator returns will be low,
Even when monitored with an ITV camera, the position where the reflected light returns was unknown, and vibration could not be detected in a practical time.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration measuring device for a tower mounting device, which can adjust the irradiation position of the vibration detecting laser light to the mounting device quickly and reliably.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a vibration detecting laser beam is generated by irradiating a vibration detecting laser beam toward the surface of a steel tower mounting device through an objective lens in a storage case. And a reflection confirmation light generator for confirming the reflection position from the attached device, and vibration detection of reflection confirmation light near the optical axis between the vibration detection laser light generator and the objective lens. A mirror for reflecting the laser light for use in the same direction is provided so that the vibration detection laser light and the reflection confirmation light can be irradiated substantially coaxially.

According to a second aspect of the invention, in the vibration detecting device of the first aspect, the objective lens and the first intermediate lens are
The collimator type lens arrangement that can expand and irradiate the vibration measurement laser beam is used, and the second intermediate lens having a shorter focal length than the first intermediate lens and the objective lens are used to measure the beam diameter of the reflection confirmation light with the vibration measurement laser beam. With a collimator type lens arrangement that can be made larger than that, a mirror that reflects the reflection confirmation light in the same direction as the vibration detection laser light is used to detect vibration near the common focus of the objective lens and the first intermediate lens and the second intermediate lens. A means of arranging at a position slightly displaced from the optical axis of the laser light is adopted.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the vibration detecting laser light output from the vibration detecting laser light generator is applied to the surface of the mounting device through the objective lens without being influenced by the mirror. Further, the reflection confirmation light output from the reflection confirmation light generator is reflected by the mirror in the same direction as the optical axis direction of the vibration detection laser light, and is irradiated onto the surface of the attachment device through the objective lens.
Therefore, the vibration confirmation laser light is not attenuated by the mirror, and the reflection confirmation light is also reflected by the reflection mirror substantially on the optical axis of the detection laser light. Since it is not necessary to increase the power of the laser light for reflection and the confirmation light for reflection, use a half mirror etc.
It can be made more compact than when two lights are coaxial. When the reflected light of the insulator is captured by the ITV camera, the reflection point of the equipment for mounting the steel tower becomes stronger for the reflection of the confirmation light
Further, since the vibration detection laser light has a high light intensity, the irradiation position is bright even at a strong reflection point. By adjusting the reflection positions of the two lights at these two points to coincide with each other, the irradiation position can be adjusted quickly and reliably.

Next, referring to FIG. 1, a laser beam 53 for confirmation of reflection is shown.
A laser light irradiation device 11 for reflection confirmation for irradiating the suspension insulator 2 will be described. A He-Ne laser light generator 31 that generates a reflection confirmation laser light 53 is disposed in the rear portion of the housing case 9 in parallel with the laser light generator 12 and toward the rear. This laser light generator 3
The laser beam 53 output from the laser beam No. 1 is sequentially reflected and reflected by the fourth mirror 32, the fifth mirror 33, and the sixth mirror 34, which are arranged at predetermined positions in the storage case 9, and the optical axis direction of the vibration detection laser beam 51.

The confirmation laser light 53 reflected from the mirror 36 is
The beam splitter 14 is incident on and reflected by the first mirror 16, and the objective lens 18 irradiates the suspension insulator 2 so that the detection laser beam 51 passes through the beam diameter of the confirmation laser beam 53. In this embodiment, the second
The focal length of the intermediate lens 35 is 20 mm.

After the confirmation laser beam 53 is reflected from the suspension insulator 2, the reflection state is displayed by the monitor television 30 through the ITV camera 39 which is installed most recently.
Therefore, when the irradiation state of the laser beam 53 for confirmation of reflection on the insulator body 5 as shown in FIG. 5 is confirmed, and the strong reflection point E which is reflected most strongly is confirmed, the laser Doppler By operating the mirror drive device 37 that changes the irradiation direction of the vibration measuring device 10 to adjust the direction of the eighth mirror 38 and operate the position of the laser light 51 so as to match the strong reflection point E, the laser light It is possible to irradiate 51 with an appropriate irradiation position on the surface of the insulator main body 5.
