Abstract

PURPOSE: To monitor the temperature at a plurality of temperature detecting parts accurately using a simple, safe and inexpensive apparatus. CONSTITUTION: A temperature detection seal 11 comprising a temperature- sensitive part 12 where the luminance varies when the temperature at a temperature detecting part reaches a luminance variation point, and a temperature insensitive part 13 where the luminance does not vary corresponding to the temperature within a temperature monitoring range is provided at the temperature detecting part. Luminance at the temperature-sensitive part 12 and the temperature insensitive part 13 is then detected while being sectioned into a plurality of pixels by means of a camera 10 and subjected to signal processing at a numeric processing section 23. The signal processing is carried out by comparing a decision reference value, based on the mean luminance at the temperature-sensitive and temperature insensitive parts, with a threshold luminance being set from the relational data of the illuminance and distance L of temperature detecting part and the decision reference levels before and after variation of luminance stored in a reference data memory 25. An abnormality judging signal is outputted when the judging reference level exceeds the threshold luminance.

As one of them, it is general practice to directly measure the temperature of the temperature-detected portion in the temperature monitoring region by a thermocouple sensor. Further, the temperature is monitored by detecting infrared rays radiated from a temperature detection target by an infrared camera.

The light from the light source 39 is applied to the thermoseal 38 through the optical fiber 40a, and the reflected light reflected by the thermoseal 38 is received by the optical fiber 40b on the receiving side to change the color of the reflected light. A method (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-92737) for detecting the temperature change of the equipment 14 to be monitored based on the above is also proposed.

However, each of the above-mentioned conventional methods has the following problems. For example, in the temperature monitoring method using a thermocouple sensor, although the temperature detection accuracy is excellent, when trying to increase the number of temperature measurement points, the signal line becomes congested, the sensor terminal processing becomes complicated, and further, the signal processing There was a problem that the department became large. In addition, signal line congestion in power equipment under high voltage may cause discharge and the like, which is a very serious safety problem. Furthermore, since the temperature measurement by the thermocouple sensor is performed in spots, it is necessary for a temperature monitor to go to the temperature monitoring area in order to confirm the state when an abnormal temperature rise is detected. There is also a problem that when a person goes to a dangerous area such as a high voltage transformer of a substation facility of an electric power company to check for an abnormality, a human risk is involved.

On the other hand, in the temperature monitoring method using the infrared camera, since it is possible to measure the temperature over the entire temperature monitoring region of the monitored equipment 14, the abnormal temperature rise of the equipment is effectively detected. However, since the infrared camera is very expensive, there is a problem that the cost of the temperature monitoring device becomes high. Further, there is a problem that the image detected by the infrared camera is dark except for the portion where the temperature of the monitored equipment 14 becomes high, and it is difficult to confirm the details of the monitored equipment 14.

Furthermore, in the method of detecting the temperature by detecting the color change of the thermo-seal 38, unlike the method of using the thermocouple sensor, no electricity is required in a certain area of the equipment 14 to be monitored, and the explosion-proof specification is set. Although there is an advantage that can be dealt with,
Similar to the method using the thermocouple sensor, if an attempt is made to increase the number of temperature measurement points, the optical fibers 40a and 40b as signal lines will be used.
However, there was a problem that the sensor terminal processing became complicated due to congestion. Further, since the optical fibers 40a and 40b have a transmission loss, depending on the transmission path length of the optical fibers 40a and 40b,
There is also a problem that the sensitivity of the light receiving element needs to be corrected, and the number of adjustment man-hours is large, which is very difficult.

13. A temperature detected at the time of detecting a color component ratio from first relationship data between the illuminance of the temperature detected part and the average value of the insensitive part color components corresponding to the illuminance and the average value of the insensitive part color components. After obtaining the illuminance of the temperature sensor, the obtained illuminance, the distance information from the temperature detection target to the imaging camera, the distance information from the temperature detection target to the imaging camera, and the illuminance of the temperature detection target It is characterized in that the color component ratio threshold value is corrected by obtaining the determination reference value before and after the color component ratio change based on the second relational data of the determination reference value before and after the color component ratio change corresponding to the illuminance and the distance. 13. The equipment monitoring method according to claim 12.
