[0057] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0058] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0059] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0060] Example 1, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A drone-assisted sewage pipeline leak inspection device is disclosed. The drone inspection module includes a drone body 1. A repair mechanism 2 is connected to the bottom of the drone body 1. The repair mechanism 2 includes a material box 20. A conveying pump 21 is connected to the bottom of the material box 20. An electric discharge valve 22 is connected to the bottom of the conveying pump 21. A vertical rod 23 is installed through the top of the material box 20. The bottom of the vertical rod 23 extends into the inner cavity of the material box 20. A stirring rod 24 is connected to the surface of the vertical rod 23. A feeding pipe 25 is connected to the top of the material box 20.
[0061] By setting up a material box 20 for storing pipe repair coating, it is used to temporarily provide repair coating to pipe leaks, facilitating temporary repairs of sewage pipes. By setting up a delivery pump 21 and an electric discharge valve 22, the repair coating inside the material box 20 is easily delivered and discharged to the pipe leak for temporary and simple repairs.
[0062] The top of the feeding pipe 25 is threaded with a pipe cap, the surface of the vertical rod 23 is fitted with a threaded sleeve 26, the surface of the vertical rod 23 is provided with an external thread that mates with the threaded sleeve 26, the threaded sleeve 26 is threadedly connected to the vertical rod 23, the top of the vertical rod 23 is connected with a limit plate 27, the surface of the threaded sleeve 26 is connected with a horizontal plate 28, and the top of the horizontal plate 28 is connected with an electric push rod 29.
[0063] By setting up the feeding pipe 25, it is easy to add pipe repair coating to the material box 20, and the coating is easy to replenish. By setting up the pipe cover, the feeding pipe 25 can be sealed to prevent leakage. By setting up the limiting plate 27, the upward movement distance of the threaded sleeve 26 is limited to prevent the threaded sleeve 26 from separating from the vertical rod 23 when moving vertically. By setting up the electric push rod 29, the horizontal plate 28, the threaded sleeve 26, the vertical rod 23 and the stirring rod 24, the threaded sleeve 26 can be moved vertically, and the vertical rod 23 drives the stirring rod 24 to rotate, thereby stirring and mixing the repair coating in the inner cavity of the material box 20, preventing the repair coating in the inner cavity of the material box 20 from settling and solidifying for a long time, and at the same time facilitating the uniform mixing and processing of the repair agent.
[0064] Both sides of the material box 20 are connected to vertical plates 210. The surface of the left vertical plate 210 is provided with a guide hole 211. The top of the vertical plate 210 is connected to a flat plate 212. Both sides of the flat plate 212 are provided with slots 214. The inner cavity of the slots 214 is fitted with a block 215. The side of the block 215 away from the flat plate 212 is connected to a spring telescopic rod 213. The top of the spring telescopic rod 213 is connected to the drone body 1.
[0065] By setting guide holes 211, the horizontal plate 28 is guided, which facilitates the vertical movement of the horizontal plate 28. By setting spring telescopic rods 213, locking blocks 215 and locking slots 214, the locking blocks 215 are engaged with the locking slots 214 to fix the plate 212, thereby positioning and installing the repair mechanism 2. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble the repair mechanism 2, and to facilitate the separation, storage and carrying of the UAV body 1 and the repair mechanism 2.
[0066] Example 2 further optimizes the UAV-assisted sewage pipeline leak inspection device provided in Example 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, an adjustment mechanism 3 is provided on the surface of the left vertical plate 210. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes an inclined plate 30. The left side of the horizontal plate 28 passes through the guide hole 211 and is connected to the inclined plate 30 through a rotating shaft. A horizontal bar 31 is connected to the surface of the left vertical plate 210. A spiral groove 32 is sleeved on the surface of the horizontal bar 31. A sleeve 33 is sleeved on the surface of the horizontal bar 31. A guide rod 34 is connected through the surface of the sleeve 33. The bottom of the guide rod 34 extends into the inner cavity of the spiral groove 32. The top of the guide rod 34 is connected to the inclined plate 30 through a rotating shaft.
[0067] By setting a crossbar 31 to support the sleeve 33, it is easy for the sleeve 33 to move laterally. By setting a spiral groove 32 to guide the guide rod 34, when the guide rod 34 moves laterally, the bottom of the guide rod 34 presses against the inner wall of the spiral groove 32, causing the crossbar 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the L-shaped plate 35 and the monitoring device body 37 to rotate, making it easy to adjust the angle of the monitoring device body 37, making it easier to monitor different positions and increasing the monitoring range.
[0068] An L-shaped plate 35 is connected to the left side of the crossbar 31, a threaded pipe 36 is connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate 35, and a monitoring device body 37 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the threaded pipe 36. A connecting plate 4 is connected to the right side of the vertical plate 210, and a scraper 5 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 4.
[0069] By setting up the L-shaped plate 35 and the threaded pipe 36, it is convenient to connect and install with the monitoring device body 37, and at the same time, it is convenient to disassemble the monitoring device body 37 and replace and maintain it. By setting up the connecting plate 4 and the scraper 5, after the repair paint is discharged to the pipeline leak, the scraper 5 is moved by adjusting the drone body 1. The movement of the scraper 5 will scrape the paint evenly, so that the paint and the pipeline leak will make uniform contact and seal, thus improving the sealing effect.
[0070] The usage process of the drone-assisted sewage pipeline leak inspection device provided by this invention is as follows:
[0071] S1. Stirring: Pipe leak repair agent is added into the inner cavity of material box 20 through feeding pipe 25. The operation of electric push rod 29 is controlled to drive horizontal plate 28 to move vertically. Horizontal plate 28 drives threaded sleeve 26 to move vertically. Threaded sleeve 26 is threadedly connected to vertical rod 23, causing vertical rod 23 to drive stirring rod 24 to rotate, thus stirring and mixing the repair agent to prevent sedimentation and solidification.
[0072] S2. Adjusting the angle: By controlling the operation of the electric push rod 29, the horizontal plate 28 is moved vertically. The horizontal plate 28 drives the guide rod 34 and the sleeve 33 to move laterally through the inclined plate 30. When the guide rod 34 moves, it squeezes the inner wall of the spiral groove 32, causing the horizontal rod 31 to rotate. The horizontal rod 31 drives the L-shaped plate 35, the threaded tube 36 and the monitoring device body 37 to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the monitoring device body 37.
[0073] S3, Repair: When a pipe leak is detected, feedback is sent to the remote intelligent monitoring center module. The remote monitoring center suspends sewage discharge, controls the electric discharge valve 22 to open, controls the conveying pump 21 to run, and discharges the material inside the material box 20 through the electric discharge valve 22 to the pipe leak. By controlling the movement of the drone body 1, the connecting plate 4 and scraper 5 are moved. The scraper 5 scrapes the repair coating evenly, so that the repair coating is in uniform contact with the pipe.
[0074] S4. Disassembly: The moving block 215 presses the spring telescopic rod 213, causing the block 215 to separate from the slot 214, thus separating and disassembling the drone body 1 from the flat plate 212, thereby disassembling the repair mechanism 2 and separating and carrying the repair mechanism 2 and the drone body 1.
