Embodiment 1

[0021] Such as figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, a kind of power inspection automatic charging drone provided by the present invention includes a battery compartment 03 located at the bottom of the drone 01, a drive mechanism 05 inside the battery compartment and a special plug 04; the battery compartment 03 is Insulating material, the battery compartment 03 includes a cabin body 33 with an opening downward, a battery 31 located above the cabin body 33, a hinged hatch door 34 opened from both sides to the middle, and a hatch door link hinged at one end to the inner wall of the hatch door 34 32. The hatch door 34 is opened outwards, and the joint surface of the hatch door 34 and the cabin body 33 is made into an oblique cut surface or a stepped shape that is fastened to each other. When the oblique cut surface is made, the cut surface is inward. effect, to prevent rainwater from flowing in, or to be blown into the cabin by the wind, if necessary, a layer of rubber can be added to...

Embodiment 2

[0035] Such as Figure 5 A kind of power inspection automatic charging UAV shown, the difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the driving mechanism 06; the driving mechanism 06 includes a rack 61, a gear 62 and a driving motor 63, and the output of the driving motor 63 The shaft is connected with the gear 62, the gear 62 meshes with the rack 61, and one end of the rack 61 is connected with the special plug 04; when the door is opened and closed, the drive motor 63 drives the gear 62 to rotate, and the gear 62 drives the rack 61 to move up and down in a straight line. Drive the hatch connecting rod 32 by the special plug 04 again, and the hatch connecting rod 32 drives the hatch door 34 to open and close. Equally, this mechanism also realizes two actions of opening the door and stretching out the plug by a drive.

Embodiment 3

[0037] Such as Figure 6 A kind of automatic charging unmanned aerial vehicle shown, the difference between embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that the drive mechanism 07; A synchronous 75; the hollow part of the second synchronous pulley 73 is a ball raceway, which can cooperate with the lead screw 71 to roll, and one end of the lead screw 71 is connected with the special plug 04; when opening and closing the door, the motor 71 drives the first synchronous pulley 75 Rotate, so that the synchronous belt 74 drives the second synchronous pulley 73 to rotate. According to the principle of the ball screw, the fixed-point rotation of the second synchronous pulley 73 can drive the screw 71 to do linear motion, and then the special plug 04 drives the cabin The door link 32 and the hatch link 32 drive the hatch 34 to realize the opening and closing of the hatch 34 . Equally, this mechanism also realizes two actions of opening the door and stretching out the plug by a drive.

Abstract

The invention provides an automatic charging unmanned aerial vehicle for power line inspection. The automatic charging unmanned aerial vehicle is characterized by comprising a battery compartment, a driving mechanism and a special plug, wherein the battery compartment is positioned at the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle; the driving mechanism is positioned inside the battery compartment; the battery compartment comprises a compartment body, a storage battery, a hinged compartment door and compartment door connecting rod; the compartment body comprises a downward opening; the storage battery is positioned above the interior of the compartment body; the hinged compartment door is opened from two sides to the middle; one end of the compartment door connecting rod is hinged with the inner walls of the compartment door; the driving mechanism is positioned below the storage battery inside the battery compartment; the lower side of the driving mechanism is connected with the special plug; the special plug comprises a plug body, a wire, a landing bracket and a conductive bar; the plug body is connected with the wire; the other end of the wire is connected with the storage battery; the lower side of the plug body is hinged with the other end of the compartment door connecting rod; two sides of the plug body are connected with the landing bracket; and the bottom of the landing bracket is connected with the conductive bar. According to the automatic charging unmanned aerial vehicle for power line inspection disclosed by the invention, the charging part of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be prevented from being influenced by outside weather, and the joint problem of the connector and the interface in the process of charging the unmanned aerial vehicle can be well solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle inspection, in particular to an automatic charging unmanned aerial vehicle for electric power inspection. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of UAV technology, UAVs have been widely used in the field of power inspection. It is the future trend to use UAVs to realize the automation of inspections and completely replace manual inspections. Due to the limitation of battery power, charging points will be set up during the drone power inspection route to allow the drone to charge independently to solve the battery life problem. [0003] Due to the limited positioning accuracy of the UAV, it is difficult to ensure that the UAV can be just connected to the connector when it is autonomously charged by using the traditional charging method; in addition, the UAV inspection is flying outdoors, the charging interface is exposed, and it is raining. In wet and bad weather...
