Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a flying patrol device, in particular to a low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle flying patrol device for a substation, and belongs to the technical field of substation inspection. Background Art

[0002] Substation is a very important part of the power system, and its safety is directly related to the stable operation of the power system. The traditional substation inspection method requires manual work, which has great risks and costs. As an important aerial robot, drones have been widely used in various fields. With the continuous development of drone technology, its application scope has gradually expanded to substation inspection, monitoring and maintenance. Substation monitoring and maintenance is an important means to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0003] A Chinese patent publication (publication number: CN117622558A) discloses a low-altitude UAV patrol device for a substation, including a UAV body, a containing mechanism arranged at the bottom of the UAV body, a driving mechanism arranged inside the containing mechanism, and a patroller arranged on the driving mechanism; the driving mechanism includes a control component, a lifting component connected to the control component, and a protection component fixedly connected to the control component. The invention enables the patroller to move up and down on the containing mechanism by setting a driving mechanism, and at the same time protects and cleans the patroller through the protection component, thereby avoiding problems such as shortening the service life of the patroller due to long-term use outside and being affected by the environment, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the UAV patrol device, improving the patrol efficiency, and providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the power system.

[0004] In addition, there are many existing technologies similar to CN117104556A, CN117650356A and CN116839501A that install the camera, infrared sensing device and other information collection and processing devices of the drone outside the unmanned environment. When the drone is cruising in a strong sunlight environment, the information collection device cannot be shielded, which reduces the detection effect and stability, reduces the service life of the equipment, and increases the system maintenance cost; at the same time, some drones have too large a accommodating mechanism, and the wind resistance is too large during the drone cruising. In order to stabilize the flight posture, the main body of the drone is seriously worn, and the energy consumption increases sharply, resulting in a shortened service life of the drone. For this reason, a low-altitude drone patrol device for a substation is proposed. Summary of the invention
