Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and more particularly to a UAV for mounting a gimbal and for power line inspection. Background Technology

[0002] The application of power equipment inspection drones is becoming increasingly widespread. They primarily involve using drones equipped with various inspection devices to inspect power equipment such as cables, power poles, and insulators from the air. These inspection devices include drones, surveying instruments, thermometers, and voltage measuring instruments. To facilitate the installation of these devices, the drone is equipped with a mounting platform. Existing mounting platforms mainly use screw connections or clip-on fasteners to install the inspection equipment. While screw connections ensure the stability of the installation, different inspection devices need to be installed for different inspection tasks, requiring frequent disassembly and reassembly, making the screw connection cumbersome and inconvenient. Clip-on fasteners, while convenient, have poor connection stability; when the drone encounters turbulence, the inspection equipment is prone to shaking and wobbling, affecting the smooth progress of the inspection task. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gimbal mounting system and a power line inspection drone that is easy to use and highly reliable.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A mounting platform is provided for mounting inspection equipment, including:

[0006] The mounting mechanism includes a housing, a slider, a rotating plate, a linkage assembly, and a magnet. The housing has a vertically extending slide rail that penetrates the bottom surface of the housing. The slider is slidably disposed within the slide rail. The magnet is disposed at the bottom of the slider and is used to attract the inspection equipment. There are two rotating plates, each rotatably disposed on opposite sides of the housing along a first direction. The slider is connected to the rotating plates via the linkage assembly. The slider can drive the rotating plates to rotate via the linkage assembly, causing the ends of the two rotating plates facing away from the housing to move closer together, thereby confining the inspection equipment between the housing and the two rotating plates.

[0007] A limiting mechanism includes a limiting component and a pressure component. There are two limiting components, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the housing along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each limiting component includes a sleeve fixedly connected to the housing, a push rod inserted into and slidably connected to the sleeve, and a pressure plate disposed at the end of the push rod. The pressure component is disposed on the housing and connected to the sleeve. The pressure component is used to input compressed gas into the sleeve to drive the pressure plate to press the inspection equipment.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressure plate has multiple silicone teeth spaced apart on one side facing the inspection equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating plate includes a first plate and a second plate arranged at an angle, one end of the first plate is connected to the second plate, the other end is connected to the linkage assembly, and the non-end of the first plate is rotatably connected to the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the second plate includes a plurality of parallel and spaced inserts, with a insertion groove formed between two adjacent inserts. In the two rotating plates, the inserts on one rotating plate are used to insert into the insertion grooves on the other rotating plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the linkage component includes a guide wheel and a rope. The guide wheel is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the housing, and the rope is wound around the guide wheel. One end of the rope is connected to the end of the first plate opposite to the second plate, and the other end of the rope passes through the side wall of the housing and is connected to the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure assembly includes an air storage pipe with screws threaded to both ends. A handle is provided at the end of the screw located outside the air storage pipe, and a piston is provided at the end of the screw located inside the air storage pipe. The air storage pipe is connected to the sleeve through a first branch pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a buffer mechanism, which includes two parallel and spaced-apart mounting plates. Multiple buffer elements are spaced between the two mounting plates, and the two mounting plates are elastically connected through the buffer elements. One of the mounting plates is connected and fixed to the mounting mechanism, and the other mounting plate is used to connect and fix to the UAV body.

[0014] Furthermore, the buffer includes an air cylinder, a connecting rod, and a second air pipe. The air cylinder is connected to the pressure assembly through the second air pipe. The connecting rod is slidably disposed inside the air cylinder. The air cylinder is connected and fixed to one of the mounting plates, and the connecting rod is connected and fixed to the other mounting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism also includes a main air tube, and all the second bronchial tubes are connected to one end of the main air tube, with the end of the main air tube opposite to the second bronchial tubes connected to the pressure assembly.

[0016] A power line inspection drone is also provided, comprising a drone body, inspection equipment, and a mounting gimbal. The mounting gimbal is installed at the bottom of the drone body, and the inspection equipment is installed on the mounting gimbal.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting a sliding connection between the housing and the slider, and a magnet at the bottom of the slider, the inspection equipment is attracted by the magnet. Rotating plates are rotatably mounted on both sides of the housing, and a linkage assembly connects the slider and the rotating plates. When installing the inspection equipment, simply place it under the housing; the equipment will magnetically attach to the slider. Then, under the weight of the inspection equipment itself, the linkage assembly drives the rotating plates to rotate, providing bottom support for the equipment. This method is convenient and requires minimal installation. Simultaneously, the inspection equipment is secured by the magnetic attraction, the supporting force of the rotating plates, and the clamping force of the pressure plates, ensuring a stable installation on the mounting platform. This prevents the inspection equipment from shaking or wobbling due to the vibration of the drone itself during turbulence, thus improving the installation reliability of the mounting platform.

[0029] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention provides a mounting gimbal for mounting inspection equipment. The mounting gimbal works in conjunction with a drone, which is existing technology and is used for flight. The inspection equipment is also existing technology, used for routine inspections of power equipment, and includes aerial photography devices, surveying instruments, thermometers, and voltage measuring instruments. The drone carries the inspection equipment via the mounting gimbal to perform inspections of power equipment in high-altitude areas.

[0031] The mounting platform includes a mounting mechanism 1 and a limiting mechanism 2. The mounting mechanism 1 includes a housing 11, a slider 12, a rotating plate 13, a linkage assembly 14, and a magnet 15. The housing 11 provides overall support and load-bearing capacity. A slide rail 110 is provided inside the housing 11, extending vertically and penetrating the bottom surface of the housing 11. The slider 12 is positioned on the slide rail 110 and connected to it, allowing it to slide along the length of the slide rail 110. Because the slide rail 110 penetrates the bottom surface of the housing 11, the bottom end of the slider 12 can move to the outside of the housing 11. The magnet 15 is located at the bottom of the slider 12 and is used to attract inspection equipment. There are two rotating plates 13, respectively positioned on both sides of the width direction (i.e., the first direction) of the housing 11, and symmetrically arranged. The rotating plates 13 are rotatably connected to the housing 11, allowing them to rotate relative to the housing 11. There are two linkage components 14, each corresponding to one of the two rotating plates 13. The linkage components 14 transmit power; one end of each component is connected to the slider 12, and the other end is connected to the rotating plate 13. When the slider 12 moves downward along the sliding 110, it drives the rotating plate 13 to rotate via the linkage components 14. When the two rotating plates 13 rotate, the ends of the two rotating plates 13 that are away from the housing 11 move closer together, thus confining the inspection equipment between the housing 11 and the two rotating plates 13.

[0032] Understandably, the two rotating plates 13 are installed on opposite sides of the housing 11. When the ends of the two rotating plates 13 facing away from the housing 11 approach or overlap each other, a receiving space is formed between the bottom of the housing 11 and the two rotating plates 13 to accommodate the inspection equipment. In use, the inspection equipment is placed at the bottom of the housing 11, allowing it to be attracted to the magnet 15. Under the weight of the inspection equipment, the inspection equipment drives the slider 12 to slide downwards. The slider 12 drives the rotating plates 13 to rotate via the linkage assembly 14, causing the bottom ends of the two rotating plates 13 to approach each other and hold the bottom of the inspection equipment. In this state, the inspection equipment is fixed within the receiving space. That is, the inspection equipment is installed and fixed to the mounting mechanism 1 by the attraction of the magnet 15 and the support of the rotating plates 13.

[0033] The limiting mechanism 2 is used to limit the movement of the inspection equipment, serving as an auxiliary fixing function. The limiting mechanism 2 includes a limiting component 21 and a pressure component 22. There are two limiting components 21, respectively located on both sides of the length direction (i.e., the second direction) of the housing 11. Each limiting component 21 includes a sleeve 211, a push rod 212, and a pressure plate 213. The sleeve 211 is fixedly connected to the housing 11, and the push rod 212 is inserted into the sleeve 211 and slidably connected to it. A second ear plate 115 is provided on the housing 11, and the sleeve 211 is mounted and fixed on the second ear plate 115. The push rod 212 is vertically positioned and can slide vertically. The bottom end of the push rod 212 extends to the outside of the sleeve 211 and connects to the pressure plate 213. The pressure plate 213 has a contact surface that matches the shape of the inspection equipment, so that the pressure plate 213 can fit against the outer wall of the inspection equipment through the contact surface. The pressure assembly 22 is connected to the sleeve 211. The pressure assembly 22 is used to input compressed gas into the sleeve 211 to drive the push rod 212 to slide downward relative to the sleeve 211, and make the pressure plate 213 press against the inspection equipment, thereby limiting the inspection equipment, preventing the inspection equipment from shaking or wobbling, and improving the installation reliability of the inspection equipment.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the pressure plate 213 is an arc-shaped plate. Multiple silicone teeth 214 are spaced apart on the side of the pressure plate 213 facing the inspection equipment. The silicone teeth 214 are made of silicone and have a certain degree of elasticity. When the pressure plate 213 presses down on the inspection equipment, the silicone teeth 214 can undergo elastic deformation. By setting the silicone teeth 214, the tightness between the pressure plate 213 and the inspection components is improved, and wear on the inspection equipment by the pressure plate 213 is prevented.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, two first ear plates 113 and a rotating shaft 114 are spaced apart on one side of the housing 11 corresponding to the rotating plate 13. The two first ear plates 113 are spaced apart, and both ends of the rotating shaft 114 are rotatably connected to the two first ear plates 113 respectively, so that the rotating shaft 114 can rotate around its own axis. The first ear plates 113 and the rotating shaft 114 are used to mount the rotating plate 13. The rotating plate 13 is L-shaped and includes a first plate body 131 and a second plate body 132 arranged at an included angle. One end of the first plate body 131 is connected to the second plate body 132, and the other end is connected to the linkage assembly 14. The non-end of the first plate body 131 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 114 to realize the rotatable connection between the first plate body 131 and the housing 11. The connection position between the first plate body 131 and the rotating shaft 114 is located between the two ends of the first plate body 131. This structure allows the first plate body 131 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 114 when the linkage assembly 14 pulls the first plate body 131. The second plate 132 is located below the first plate 131, with the end of the second plate 132 facing away from the first plate 131 extending towards the axis of the housing 11. The rotating shaft 114 and the first ear plate 113 are elastically connected by a torsion spring, which keeps the end of the rotating plate 13 facing away from the housing 11 away from each other. That is, initially, the two second plates 132 are far apart, and the rotating plate 13 is in the open state. When the slider 12 slides downwards, the linkage assembly 14 drives the end of the first plate 131 closest to the housing 11 to move upwards. At this time, the end of the first plate 131 facing away from the housing 11 moves downwards, causing the two second plates 132 to move closer together. At this point, the rotating plate 13 is in the closed state, and the two second plates 132 hold the bottom of the inspection equipment.

[0036] The second plate 132 includes a plurality of parallel and spaced-apart inserts 1321, with insertion slots 1322 formed between adjacent inserts 1321. The inserts 1321 in the two second plates 132 are staggered, so that when the two second plates 132 approach each other, the insert 1321 on one rotating plate 13 can be inserted into the insertion slot 1322 on the other rotating plate 13. It can be understood that after the inspection equipment is installed, the two second plates 132 are brought closer together, and the inserts 1321 of the two second plates 132 are cross-connected to each other, so that the two second plates 132 support the inspection equipment.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the linkage assembly 14 includes a guide wheel 141 and a rope 142. The rope 142 transmits power; one end of the rope 142 is connected to the end of the first plate 131 opposite to the second plate 132, and the other end passes through the side wall of the housing 11 and connects to the slider 12. The guide wheel 141 supports and fixes the rope 142 and provides guidance for it. The number and position of the guide wheels 141 can be adaptively designed according to the movement trajectory of the rope 142, and the guide wheels 141 are located at the bends of the rope 142. In this embodiment, two guide wheels 141 are provided on the side wall of the housing 11 corresponding to the mounting of the rotating plate 13, one guide wheel 141 is located outside the housing 11, and the other guide wheel 141 is located inside the housing 11.

[0038] Correspondingly, the housing 11 is also provided with a third ear plate 116 for mounting the guide wheel 141. Each guide wheel 141 is provided with two third ear plates 116, and the two ends of the guide wheel 141 are rotatably connected to the two third ear plates 116 respectively.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the pressure assembly 22 is used to input compressed gas into the limiting assembly 21. The pressure assembly 22 includes a gas storage pipe 221, a screw 222, a piston 223, a handle 224, and a first branch pipe 225. There are two screws 222, which are bolted to both ends of the gas storage pipe 221. One end of the screw 222 extends to the outside of the gas storage pipe 221. The handle 224 is connected to the end of the screw 222 outside the gas storage pipe 221, and the piston 223 is connected to the end of the screw 222 inside the gas storage pipe 221. The gas storage pipe 221 is connected to the sleeve 211 of the limiting assembly 21 through the first branch pipe 225.

[0040] The pressure assembly 22 is mounted on the housing 11. Correspondingly, the housing 11 has a mounting hole 111 for mounting the pressure assembly 22, and the gas storage pipe 221 passes through the mounting hole 111. The handle 224 of the pressure assembly 22 is located outside the housing 11. In use, by turning the handle 224, the screw 222 drives the two pistons 223 to move closer together, thereby compressing the gas in the gas storage pipe 221. Driven by the pistons 223, the gas moves towards the sleeve 211, which in turn drives the push rod 212 to move downward, and finally drives the pressure plate 213 to press the inspection equipment.

[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting gimbal also includes a buffer mechanism 3, which is positioned between the mounting mechanism 1 and the drone body, serving as a buffer between the drone body and the mounting mechanism 1. The buffer mechanism 3 includes two parallel and spaced-apart mounting plates 31, one of which is connected to the drone body, and the other is connected to the mounting mechanism 1. Multiple buffer elements 32 are spaced apart between the two mounting plates 31, and the two mounting plates 31 are elastically connected via the buffer elements 32.

[0042] The buffer component 32 includes an air cylinder 321, a connecting rod 322, a second air pipe 323, and a bracket 325. Two mounting plates 31 are spaced apart vertically, and the bracket 325 is mounted on the lower mounting plate 31. The air cylinder 321 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 325. One end of the connecting rod 322 is inserted into the air cylinder 321 and slidably connected to it, while the other end extends to the outside of the air cylinder 321 and connects to the upper mounting plate 31. Specifically, the connecting rod 322 includes a rod body 3221, a sealing plate 3222, and an end plate 3223. The sealing plate 3222 is located at the end of the rod body 3221 inside the air cylinder 321, and its function is the same as that of the piston 223; the end plate 3223 is located at the end of the rod body 3221 outside the air cylinder 321, and it is used to connect and fix to the mounting plate 31.

[0043] The buffer mechanism 3 also includes a main air pipe 33, one end of a second branch air pipe 323 connected to the air cylinder 321, and the ends of all the second branch air pipes 323 facing away from the air cylinder 321 connected to the main air pipe 33. The end of the main air pipe 33 facing away from the second branch air pipes 323 is connected to the air storage pipe 221 of the pressure assembly 22. This structure allows the pressure assembly 22 to input compressed gas into the air cylinder 321 through the main air pipe 33 and the second branch air pipes 323.

[0044] During the flight of the UAV, when the UAV encounters turbulence and shakes, the elasticity of the buffer 32 prevents the force from being transmitted to the inspection equipment, thus preventing the inspection equipment from shaking and ensuring the smooth progress of the inspection task. It should be noted that the buffer 32 works by the relative movement of the air cylinder 321 and the connecting rod 322 to compress the gas inside the air cylinder 321.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 11 has a top plate 112. The buffer mechanism 3 also includes a plurality of support legs 34, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the mounting plate 31 and are disposed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 31 located below. The mounting plate 31 and the top plate 112 are connected and fixed together by the support legs 34.

[0046] Mounting plate 31 has a ring-shaped structure, with main air pipe 33 located at the center of the lower mounting plate 31 to ensure that the distance from main air pipe 33 to each buffer 32 is the same. One end of main air pipe 33 passes through top plate 112 and is connected to pressure assembly 22 on housing 11.

[0047] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 31 is also provided with multiple connection holes 311. These connection holes 311 are spaced apart along the circumference of the mounting plate 31. The connection holes 311 are used to insert studs to achieve the installation connection between the buffer mechanism 3 and the UAV body. During installation, the studs are simultaneously inserted into the connection holes 311 on both mounting plates 31. The nut at one end of the stud abuts against the bottom surface of the lower mounting plate 31, and the other end of the stud connects to the UAV body. By adjusting the position of the nut, the distance between the two mounting plates 31 can be matched with the size of the buffer 32. Under normal conditions, since the upper mounting plate 31 is fixed to the UAV body, the lower mounting plate 31 is supported by the lower nut, preventing the buffer 32 from experiencing additional pressure. Only when there is a tendency for relative movement between the UAV body and the inspection equipment will the buffer 32 be subjected to the compressive force of the two mounting plates 31.

[0048] It should be noted that in practical applications, the buffer mechanism 3 can be omitted, and the mounting mechanism 1 can be directly connected to the drone body. That is, the shell 11 can be directly installed and fixed to the drone body.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a power line inspection drone is also provided, including a drone body, inspection equipment, and a mounting gimbal. The drone body is used for flight, and the mounting gimbal is installed at the bottom of the drone body. The mounting gimbal is used to install the inspection equipment. In use, the inspection equipment is installed on the mounting gimbal, allowing the drone body to carry the inspection equipment and fly into the air to perform inspection operations on high-altitude power equipment. Because the inspection equipment is fixed to the mounting gimbal through three methods—adsorption by magnet 15, bottom support by rotating plate 13, and clamping and limiting by pressure plate 213—the installation reliability of the inspection equipment is improved, ensuring the smooth progress of the inspection task.

[0050] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting the housing 11 and the slider 12 in a sliding connection, and setting the bottom end of the slider 12 with a magnet 15, the inspection equipment is attracted by the magnet 15. Rotating plates 13 are rotatably set on both sides of the housing 11, and the slider 12 and the rotating plates 13 are connected by a linkage component 14. When installing the inspection equipment, simply place the inspection equipment under the housing 11, and the inspection equipment will be attracted to the magnet 15. Then, under the weight of the inspection equipment itself, the rotating plates 13 are driven to rotate by the linkage component 14, and the two rotating plates 13 provide bottom support for the inspection equipment. This method is convenient to use and requires minimal installation. Simultaneously, the inspection equipment is supported by the attraction force of the magnet 15, the support force of the rotating plates 13, and the pressing force of the pressure plate 213, ensuring that the inspection equipment is stably installed on the mounting platform. This prevents the inspection equipment from shaking or wobbling due to the vibration of the drone itself when encountering turbulence, thus improving the installation reliability of the mounting platform.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
