Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle for electric power inspection. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage transmission lines are erected in a complex geographical environment. Power poles, hardware, insulators, ground wires, etc. are directly exposed to the harsh natural environment, which will cause damage such as wear, rust, and aging. Once the wire is broken or the insulator is flashed, it will cause a large-scale power outage. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly inspect the high-voltage transmission lines, but the complex terrain conditions have brought great difficulties to the manual inspection of transmission lines, and the work efficiency is very low. Some poles are relatively high, and it is difficult to find defects by observing through a telescope under the tower. People need to climb the tower for inspection, and potential dangers such as high-altitude operations on power towers threaten the safety of inspection personnel. With the development of science and technology, drones are gradually being applied to the inspection of transmission lines with their advantages of low cost, small size and weight, and remote control.

[0003] For example, a drone disclosed in Chinese patent CN107972861B has a simple structure, convenient operation, strong flight stability, avoids shaking to a great extent when landing, reduces the pressure generated when contacting the ground, and has good monitoring performance and can monitor in all directions. The use effect is very good, but it still has the following disadvantages when in use:

[0004] 1. Since there is no controllable radar device, the conventional radar signal is relatively scattered, resulting in the radar's penetration power being unable to achieve the effect of a one-way radar. However, since a one-way radar can only face a single position, the body needs to be rotated when in use, causing inconvenience during use.

[0005] 2. Because conventional drones are not equipped with shock-absorbing devices when descending, when the drone descends with low battery, its power module cannot effectively reduce the landing speed, causing the drone to fall to the ground and causing unnecessary damage to its internal components. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a drone for power inspection, which solves the problem of not having a radar device that can be controlled.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an unmanned aerial vehicle for power inspection comprises a body and a first motor, a base frame is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the body, and a power module is fixedly connected to the top of the body, a wireless charger is fixedly connected to one side of the body, a connecting block is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first motor, a rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the connecting block, a one-way radar is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod, a slider is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating rod, a sliding groove matching the slider is provided on the surface of the first motor, a second motor is fixedly installed at one end of the slider, a placing plate is movably connected to the bottom end of the placing plate, a supporting frame is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the placing plate, a spring is fixedly connected inside the supporting frame, a placing table is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the placing table, a bolt is fixedly installed, and a power supply is fixedly connected to one side of the placing table, and a cover plate is rotatably installed on the top of the power supply.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the first motor is electrically connected to the bottom of the body by means of a wire, the center of the first motor and the center of the body are on the same straight line, the top of the one-way radar is electrically connected to the inside of the body by means of a wire, and the cross-section of the one-way radar has a "U"-shaped structure.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the advantage is that it is easy to adjust the left and right angles of the one-way radar, thereby avoiding the conventional radar signal being relatively scattered, resulting in the radar's penetration power being unable to achieve the use effect of the one-way radar. However, since the one-way radar can only face a single position, the body needs to be rotated when it is used, which causes inconvenience during use.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the second motor is fixedly mounted to one end of the rotating rod, the surface of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the cross-section of the slider is in an "L"-shaped structure.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the advantage is that it is easy to adjust the up and down angles of the one-way radar, so that the one-way radar can be more convenient to use.

[0012] Preferably, the wireless charger is electrically connected to the inside of the body by means of a wire, a plurality of charging sockets are provided on the top of the power supply, and the size of the surface of the cover plate is compatible with the size of the top of the power supply.

[0013] The above technical solution has the advantage of reducing the openings on the surface of the machine body and effectively improving its waterproof effect.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-section of the support frame is in an "X"-shaped structure, and the support frame is composed of four support rods, wherein the four support rods are grouped in pairs, and surfaces of the two groups of support rods are fixedly connected to two ends of the spring respectively.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the advantage is that it is easy to protect the drone from landing, thereby avoiding the situation where the power module of the drone is unable to effectively reduce the landing speed when the drone descends due to low battery, causing the drone to fall to the ground and causing unnecessary damage to its internal components.

[0016] Preferably, there are at least two placement plates, the side walls of the two placement plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement table, and the placement plates are rubber plates.

[0017] The adoption of the above technical solution has the advantage of facilitating the shock absorbing effect of the lifting device and effectively reducing noise generation at the bottom.

[0018] Preferably, the top of the bolt is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement plate, and the center of the bolt is in the same straight line as the center of the placement plate.

[0019] The advantage of adopting the above technical solution is that foreign matter can be prevented from entering the interior of the placement table.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The first motor is installed at the bottom of the body. After starting, the connecting block is rotated to adjust the left and right angles of the one-way radar, thereby avoiding the conventional radar signal being relatively scattered, resulting in the radar's penetration strength being unable to achieve the use effect of the one-way radar. However, since the one-way radar can only face a single position, the body needs to be rotated when it is used, causing inconvenience during use.

[0022] 2. After the second motor is started, it drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the slider slides in the slide groove to limit the second motor, so as to adjust the up and down angles of the one-way radar, so that the one-way radar can be more convenient to use. One end of the charging cable is connected to the charging port at the upper end of the power supply, and the other end is connected to the wireless charging cable on the surface of the body, so as to reduce the opening on the surface of the body and effectively improve its waterproof effect.

[0023] 3. The support frame is installed on the upper end of the placement table. When the drone lands on the surface of the placement board, the spring absorbs the force generated during its landing to protect the drone from landing. This avoids the situation where the power module of the drone cannot effectively reduce the landing speed when the drone descends due to low power, causing the drone to fall to the ground and causing unnecessary damage to its internal components. The rubber placement board is in contact with the bottom of the chassis to enhance the shock absorption effect of the device and effectively reduce noise at the bottom. When not in use, the placement board is fixed to the inside of the placement table with bolts to prevent external impurities from entering the inside of the placement table.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a drone for power inspection includes a body 1 and a first motor 4, a bottom end of the body 1 is fixedly installed with a base frame 2, and the top of the body 1 is fixedly connected to a power module 3, one side of the body 1 is fixedly connected to a wireless charger 14, a connecting block 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the first motor 4, a rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected inside the connecting block 5, a one-way radar 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 6, one end of the rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to a slider 8, a slide groove 10 adapted to the slider 8 is opened on the surface of the first motor 4, one end of the slider 8 is fixedly installed with a second motor 9, and the bottom end of the base frame 2 is movably connected to a release A plate 17 is placed, and a support frame 15 is rotatably installed on the bottom end of the placement plate 17. A spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the support frame 15. A placement table 11 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the support frame 15. A bolt 18 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the placement table 11, and a power supply 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement table 11. A cover plate 13 is rotatably installed on the top of the power supply 12. The top of the first motor 4 is electrically connected to the bottom end of the body 1 by means of a wire, and the center of the first motor 4 is on the same straight line as the center of the body 1. The top of the one-way radar 7 is electrically connected to the inside of the body 1 by means of a wire, and the cross-section of the one-way radar 7 is a "U"-shaped structure.

[0031] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0032] The first motor 4 is installed at the bottom of the body 1. After starting, the connecting block 5 is rotated to adjust the left and right angles of the one-way radar 7, thereby avoiding the conventional radar signal being relatively scattered, resulting in the radar's penetration strength being unable to achieve the use effect of the one-way radar 7. However, since the one-way radar 7 can only face a single position, the body 1 needs to be rotated when it is used, which causes inconvenience during use.

[0033] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, one end of the second motor 9 is fixedly installed with one end of the rotating rod 6, the surface of the slider 8 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the slide groove 10, and the cross-section of the slider 8 is an "L"-shaped structure.

[0034] After the second motor 9 is started, it drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, and the slider 8 slides in the slide groove 10 to limit the second motor 9, so as to adjust the up and down angles of the one-way radar 7, so that the one-way radar 7 can be more convenient when used.

[0035] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the wireless charger 14 is electrically connected to the inside of the body 1 by means of a wire, a plurality of charging sockets are provided on the top of the power source 12 , and the size of the surface of the cover plate 13 is adapted to the size of the top of the power source 12 .

[0036] One end of the charging cable is connected to the charging port on the upper end of the power supply 12, and the other end is connected to the wireless charging cable on the surface of the body 1, so as to reduce the opening on the surface of the body 1 and effectively improve its waterproof effect.

[0037] In another embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the cross section of the support frame 15 is an "X"-shaped structure. The support frame 15 is composed of four support rods, and the four support rods are grouped in pairs. The surfaces of the two groups of support rods are fixedly connected to the two ends of the spring 16 respectively.

[0038] The support frame 15 is installed on the upper end of the placement platform 11. When the drone lands on the surface of the placement plate 17, the spring 16 absorbs the force generated during its landing to protect the drone from landing. This avoids the situation where the power module 3 of the drone cannot effectively reduce the landing speed when the drone lands due to low battery, causing the drone to fall to the ground and causing unnecessary damage to its internal components.

[0039] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, there are at least two placement plates 17, the side walls of the two placement plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the placement platform 11, and the placement plates 17 are rubber plates.

[0040] The placement plate 17 made of rubber material contacts the bottom end of the bottom frame 2 to improve the shock absorption effect of the device and effectively reduce the noise generated at the bottom end.

[0041] In another embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the top of the bolt 18 is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement plate 17, and the center of the bolt 18 is on the same straight line as the center of the placement plate 17.

[0042] When not in use, the placement plate 17 is fixed to the inside of the placement table 11 by bolts 18 to prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the placement table 11 .

[0043] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the first motor 4 is installed at the bottom of the body 1. After starting, the connecting block 5 is rotated to adjust the left and right angles of the one-way radar 7, thereby avoiding the conventional radar signal being relatively scattered, resulting in the radar's penetration strength being unable to achieve the use effect of the one-way radar 7. However, since the one-way radar 7 can only face a single position, the body 1 needs to be rotated during use, which causes inconvenience during use. After the second motor 9 is started, it drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, and the slider 8 slides in the slide groove 10 to limit the second motor 9, so as to adjust the up and down angles of the one-way radar 7, so that the one-way radar 7 can be more convenient during use. One end of the charging cable is connected to the charging port at the upper end of the power supply 12, and the other end is connected to the wireless charging cable on the surface of the body 1, so as to reduce the opening on the surface of the body 1 and effectively improve its waterproof effect.

[0044] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made thereto without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
