An unmanned inspection machine for transmission lines

Abstract

The invention relates to an unmanned patrol aircraft for power transmission lines. The unmanned patrol aircraft comprises an aircraft body, a camera system, a cloud deck, a nanometer battery, an aircraft control system, a wireless transmission system, a GPS positioning system and a ground receiving, controlling and managing system. The unmanned patrol aircraft has four ailerons which are symmetrically installed at two sides of a main beam; the unmanned patrol aircraft has the advantages of stable flight, a fast flight speed, high flexibility and great loading capacity; front and rear beams are of segmented design, which facilitates adjustment and wiring. The aileron horns of the ailerons are movably connected with an aileron fixing frame through bolts; the aileron fixing frame is equipped with folding positioning seats; the aileron horns rotate with the bolts as centers and are limited through the folding positioning seats; such a structure enables the aileron horns to be parallely drawn close onto the main beam after folding, so the unmanned patrol aircraft has a small size and is easy to carry. After the front and rear aileron horns are open, lines among center points of four motors on the front and rear aileron horns form a square, and such a structure enables the aircraft to maintain balanced flight and to have reduced current loss and long flying time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aircraft, in particular to an unmanned inspection machine for power transmission lines. Background technique [0002] Due to the complex and diverse terrain and the harsh natural environment, the transmission lines have been exposed to the wild for a long time, and have been damaged under the influence of continuous mechanical tension, ice disasters, wind disasters, lightning strikes, bird damage and other external factors. Therefore, the transmission lines should be repaired according to regulations. Conduct regular inspections to keep abreast of its operating status. The traditional manual inspection method has been difficult to meet the needs of stable operation of the power system due to its low efficiency, time-consuming and labor-intensive, high safety risks, and is easily restricted by factors such as climate, traffic, and terrain.

Problems solved by technology

The traditional manual inspection method has been difficult to meet the needs of stable operation of the power system due to its low efficiency, time-consuming and labor-intensive, high safety risks, and is easily restricted by factors such as climate, traffic and terrain.

The more advanced one is to use large helicopters and drones for inspection. Although this inspection method is more efficient than the traditional manual inspection method, it reduces the difficulty of inspection in areas where people in mountainous areas are difficult to reach. However, due to the use of Helicopters or UAVs are bulky and difficult to get close to the observation target for accurate observation

Moreover, due to the fast flight speed and insufficient stability of large aircraft under the operation of the pilot, it is difficult for the collected observation data to reflect the observation target in a comprehensive and subtle manner.

Coupled with the high cost of flying large aircraft, it is difficult to meet the requirements of line inspection
