Embodiment Construction

[0038] exist Figures 1 to 3 An exemplary unmanned aerial vehicle 1 according to the invention is shown in and 5 .

[0039] The flying device 1 has a contact element 110 which has an electrically conductive contact surface 111 on which copper bristles 112 are arranged. The contact surface 111 is oriented substantially vertically and is fastened to the aircraft 1 , in particular to the central body 140 , via rod-shaped or rod-shaped connecting elements, which are oriented substantially horizontally.

[0040] Protruding from the central body 140 of the flying device 1 are two legs 141 which have feet at their lower ends on which the flying device 1 can stand on the ground. Four arms 150 also protrude from the central main body 140 , on which an upper and a lower rotor 151o, u are respectively arranged. The flying device 1 is thus configured as a quadcopter and, in addition to ascending and descending flight and moving forward, is also capable of maintaining hovering flight, fo...

Abstract

The invention relates to an unmanned aerial device for performing a resistance, current and / or voltage measurement at an object, in particular a lightning protection measurement at a wind turbine, comprising a contact element with an electrically conductive contact area, which can be brought into contact with a surface of the object, in particular with a lightning protection receptor of a rotor blade, of a nacelle or of a tower of a wind turbine, and comprising an electrically conductive measurement cable, which, with a first end, is connected in an electrically conductive manner to the contact area, and, with a second end, can be connected to a resistance, current and / or voltage measuring device and / or a grounding contact of the object.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle for performing resistance, current and / or voltage measurements on objects, in particular lightning protection measurements on wind energy installations. The invention also relates to a method for carrying out resistance, current and / or voltage measurements at a target, in particular lightning protection measurements at a wind energy installation. Background technique [0002] A wind energy installation generally comprises a tower, a machine housing rotatably mounted on the tower, a transmission line arranged in the machine housing and a rotor driving the transmission line, wherein the rotor has a hub and at least one, usually three, rotatable A rotor blade rotatably disposed on a hub. Several receivers are usually distributed over a wind energy installation for feeding the lightning current. In particular, the region of the rotor blade exactly having the rotor blade tip and / or the roof of the machin...
