[0030] In this embodiment, the cable is an overhead cable.

[0031] It should be noted that the first driving member and the second driving member are both first driving motors.

[0032] The structures near the cables may be other cables, cross arms, or other structures.

[0033] The mounting plate 21 is provided with a first sliding groove, and the first cutting blade 22 is movably disposed in the first sliding groove.

[0034] The first connecting member 31 is a first connecting plate. A second sliding groove is further provided on the mounting plate 21, and the first connecting plate is arranged in the second sliding groove.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 20 further includes a second cutting blade 23 disposed on the mounting plate 21, and the first cutting blade 22 and the second cutting blade 23 are disposed at an acute angle. When the mounting plate 21 moves, the first cutting blade 22 and the second cutting blade 23 can be driven to move, and then the first cutting blade 22 and the second cutting blade 23 can cut the cable at the same time, thereby improving the cutting efficiency.

[0038] The included angle between the first cutting blade 22 and the second cutting blade 23 is between 30° and 60°, and may be 30°, 40°, 45°, 50° or 60°.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 20 also includes a driving wheel 24 and a transmission wheel 25 meshed with the driving wheel 24, the number of teeth of the transmission wheel 25 is greater than the number of teeth of the driving wheel 24, the driving wheel 24 and the transmission wheel 25 are both rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 21, the driving wheel 24 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the first driving member, the first cutting blade 22 has a transmission tooth portion, and the transmission tooth portion of the transmission wheel 25 is meshed. The first driving member can drive the driving wheel 24 to rotate, the driving wheel 24 can drive the transmission wheel 25 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 25 can drive the first cutting blade 22 to move. The number of teeth of the transmission wheel 25 is greater than the number of teeth of the driving wheel 24, so that the driving wheel 24 and the transmission wheel 25 can play a deceleration role, and can also increase the torque to ensure that the first cutting blade 22 smoothly cuts the cable.

[0040] The transmission wheels 25 include two transmission wheels 25 , which are coaxially arranged. One transmission wheel 25 is gear-driven with the first cutting blade 22 , and the other transmission wheel 25 is gear-driven with the second cutting blade 23 .

[0041] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping arm 42 includes a first clamping member 421 and a second clamping member 422 arranged at intervals on the second connecting member 41, the first clamping member 421 has a first clamping surface, and a clamping space 423 is formed between the first clamping surface and the second clamping member 422. The shape of the first clamping surface can be changed to change the shape of the clamping space 423. The structure near the cable can enter the clamping space, and then the first clamping member 421 and the second clamping member 422 can clamp the structure near the cable, so that the position of the drone is more stable. The shape of the first clamping surface can be changed, so that the clamping arm 42 can clamp structures of different shapes.

[0042] The second connecting member 41 includes a second connecting plate, and the first clamping member 421 and the second clamping member 422 are respectively disposed at two opposite ends of the second connecting plate.

[0043] The second connecting member 41 further includes a third connecting plate connected to the middle portion of the second connecting plate. The drone further includes a connecting arm connected to the first connecting member 31. The third connecting plate is hingedly connected to the connecting arm.

[0044] The third driving motor is arranged on the connecting arm, and the third driving motor drives the third connecting plate to rotate relative to the connecting arm.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second clamping member 422 has a second clamping surface, a clamping space 423 is formed between the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface, and the shape of the second clamping surface can be changed to change the shape of the clamping space 423. The shape of the second clamping surface can be changed, so that the clamping arm 42 can clamp structures of different shapes.

[0046] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamping member 421 includes a box body 4211, a plurality of clamping rods 4212 arranged in an array, and a plurality of elastic reset members 4213. The box body 4211 has an installation space. The plurality of clamping rods 4212 are arranged in the installation space so as to be reciprocatingly movable from the first clamping member 421 to the second clamping member 422. The plurality of clamping rods 4212 form a first clamping surface on one side facing the second clamping member 422. The plurality of elastic reset members 4213 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of clamping rods 4212. The elastic reset members 4213 are arranged between the clamping rods 4212 and the bottom of the installation space so as to move the clamping rods 4212 toward the outside of the box body 4211. The box body 4211 can limit the periphery of the plurality of clamping rods 4212. A plurality of clamping rods 4212 are arranged in the installation space so as to be reciprocally movable along the direction from the first clamping member 421 to the second clamping member 422, so that when the first clamping member 421 contacts the structure near the cable, the clamping rods 4212 at different positions can move different distances, thereby changing the shape of the first clamping surface, so that the first clamping member 421 fits the structure near the cable more closely, thereby clamping the structure near the cable. The elastic reset member 4213 can apply an elastic reset force to the clamping rod 4212, so that after the clamping rod 4212 is separated from the structure near the cable, the clamping rod 4212 can move toward the second clamping member 422, so that the clamping arm 42 can clamp the structure near the cable again.

[0047] It should be noted that the second clamping member 422 has the same structure as the first clamping member 421 .

[0048] The elastic return member 4213 is a compression spring.

[0049] The box body of the first clamping member 421 and the box body of the second clamping member 422 are both rotatably connected to the second connecting member 41, and the rotation of the box body of the first clamping member 421 and the box body of the second clamping member 422 are driven by the second driving motor and the spur gear arranged on the rotating shaft of the second driving motor.

[0050] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first clamping member 421 also includes a plurality of connecting rods 4214, and the plurality of connecting rods 4214 are arranged one by one with the plurality of clamping rods 4212. An elastic reset member 4213 is sleeved on the periphery of each connecting rod 4214. The first end of the connecting rod 4214 is connected to the box body 4211, and the second end of the connecting rod 4214 is located in the clamping rod 4212. The clamping rod 4212 is movably arranged at the second end of the connecting rod 4214. The arrangement of the connecting rod 4214 facilitates the connection of the clamping rod 4212 with the box body. The connecting rod 4214 can also limit the elastic reset member 4213 sleeved on the periphery of the connecting rod 4214. The connecting rod 4214 can limit the clamping rod 4212 to prevent the clamping rod 4212 from moving outside the box body 4211 and separating from the box body 4211.

[0051] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping rod 4212 includes a block 42121, the block 42121 has a receiving space 421211 and a strip opening 421212 communicating with the receiving space 421211, and the minimum radial dimension of the receiving space 421211 is greater than the length of the strip opening 421212. The connecting rod 4214 includes a strip rod body 42141 and a shaft body 42142 connected to the strip rod body 42141, the strip opening 421212 can allow the strip rod body 42141 to pass through, the first end of the shaft body 42142 is connected to the strip rod body 42141, and the second end of the shaft body 42142 is connected to the box body 4211. The connecting rod 4214 has an installation state and a limiting state. When the connecting rod 4214 is in the installation state, the strip rod body 42141 is arranged correspondingly to the strip opening 421212. When the connecting rod 4214 is in the limiting state, the strip rod body 42141 is located in the accommodating space 421211 and crosses with the strip opening 421212. The strip rod body 42141 can enter the accommodating space 421211 through the strip opening 421212 and rotate in the accommodating space 421211, so that the strip rod body 42141 and the strip opening 421212 are cross-arranged. In this way, the block body 42121 can limit the strip rod body 42141, thereby preventing the clamping rod 4212 from being separated from the connecting rod 4214 when the clamping rod 4212 moves, thereby preventing the clamping rod 4212 from being separated from the box body. The shaft body 42142 can be connected to the box body 4211, so that the connecting rod 4214 can be connected to the box body 4211. The minimum radial dimension of the accommodating space 421211 is greater than the length of the strip opening 421212, so that the strip rod body 42141 can rotate in the accommodating space 421211, so that the strip rod body 42141 and the strip opening 421212 are arranged crosswise.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the box body 4211 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 42111, and the second end of the shaft body 42142 is detachably connected to the mounting hole 42111. The shaft body 42142 can be connected to the mounting hole 42111, and then the connecting rod 4214 can be connected to the box body 4211.

[0054] The ultrasonic sensor and the camera structure are arranged above the drone body 10 .

[0055] The cutting mechanism 20 and the clamping mechanism 40 are both arranged below the drone body 10 .

[0056] The drone of this embodiment can approach the target wire through remote control or autonomous flight under the operation of an operator, and use the cutting mechanism 20 to shear the wire.

[0057] The drone itself is a multi-axis aircraft with good stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0058] The drone is equipped with GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou positioning systems to achieve precise positioning. The drone supports remote control and autonomous flight modes.

[0059] The mounting plate 21 is made of high-strength and lightweight materials (such as carbon fiber, titanium alloy, etc.).

[0060] The first cutting blade 22 and the second cutting blade 23 are made of high-hardness and wear-resistant materials (such as high-speed steel, cemented carbide, etc.) to ensure the shearing effect.

[0061] The first drive motor is used as a drive source, and is transmitted to the first cutting blade 22 through a gear reduction mechanism (ie, a drive wheel 24 and a transmission wheel 25), thereby ensuring sufficient shearing torque. The first drive motor has the characteristics of fast response speed and easy control.

[0062] The drone body 10 is provided with overload protection and automatic stop functions to improve safety.

[0063] The controller includes remote control software that supports real-time video transmission, control signal transmission, etc. The controller stores an integrated path planning algorithm to achieve autonomous flight close to the target wire.

[0065] The drone body 10 is equipped with an LED lighting system to support nighttime operations.

[0066] The drone body 10 is equipped with a temperature control system to ensure that the drone body operates within a suitable temperature range.

[0067] The drone has a suspension system, which can be automatically adjusted according to the position of the cutting mechanism and the weight of the drone to ensure that the cutting mechanism 20 is always in the best state of force.

[0068] A clamping mechanism 40 is added below the drone body 10. The clamping mechanism 40 can be extended when the cutting mechanism 20 starts cutting operation, providing an additional support point for the cutting mechanism 20 to ensure stability during the cutting process.

[0069] The controller has a dynamic balance adjustment function, which can monitor the attitude changes of the drone in real time and automatically correct the attitude deviation by adjusting the rotation speed of each motor, ensuring that the flight stability can be maintained even when carrying a heavy cutting mechanism 20.

[0070] The controller has an intelligent center of gravity adjustment function. Through the built-in weight distribution control system, it can automatically adjust the internal weight of the drone body according to the position and weight of the shears, thereby optimizing flight performance.

[0071] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0072] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures".
