Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aviation equipment industry, and in particular relates to an electric power inspection UAV. Background Art

[0002] The power inspection drone is a high-tech equipment used to inspect power facilities. It can quickly cover a large area of ​​power lines and equipment, improve inspection efficiency, reduce the risk of manual inspection, and avoid personnel working in dangerous environments such as high altitude and complex terrain. It is equipped with high-definition cameras and sensors and can accurately detect faults and hidden dangers of power equipment. Among them, the rotor drone can take off and land vertically in a very small space and does not need a long runway like a fixed-wing drone. This makes it have great advantages when conducting power inspections in complex terrain and small spaces. The rotor drone has excellent hovering ability and can maintain stable hovering at a specific position to carefully observe and photograph power facilities. This is very important for checking the details of power lines and discovering potential fault points. Therefore, rotor drones are widely promoted and used in power inspection work. For example, the patent with patent announcement number CN115285342A proposes a power inspection drone.

[0003] When using rotorcraft drones for power inspections in the cold winter environment, the low temperature weakens the thermal motion of air molecules, and the thermal motion of molecules determines their average kinetic energy and degree of diffusion. Low temperature reduces the kinetic energy of molecules, reduces the range of molecular activity, and relatively increases the distance between molecules, which leads to a decrease in the number of air molecules per unit volume, thereby reducing the air density. Based on the lift formula of rotorcraft drones: L=1 / 2ρv²SCI (where L is lift, ρ is air density, v is the flow rate of air around the rotor, S is the area of ​​the rotor, and CI is the lift coefficient), it can be seen that the reduction in air density will directly lead to a decrease in lift, which in turn affects the flight stability of the rotorcraft drone, which directly leads to the fact that the flight stability of the rotorcraft drone will be greatly affected due to changes in ambient temperature during power inspections, and cannot meet the needs of power inspections well.

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

[0021] 1. By setting up the drone main body and the flame-spraying foreign matter removal mechanism, the rotor drone used for power inspection also has a flame-spraying function. In the process of the drone conducting power inspection, if some small foreign objects such as kite lines and plastic films are entangled in the power lines, the foreign objects can be burned off quickly and accurately under the remote control of the ground personnel, avoiding the problem of foreign objects causing continuous damage to the power lines. In addition, the compensation fan can provide a reverse thrust during the drone's flame-spraying work, thereby offsetting the recoil generated by the flame-spraying, avoiding the problem of thrust on the drone during the flame-spraying process affecting the stable hovering of the drone, and improving the accuracy and safety of the flame-spraying.

[0022] 2. Through the load reduction feedback mechanism, rotor speed self-adjustment compensation mechanism and temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate, the drone rotor speed can be automatically adjusted based on the ambient temperature and the fuel consumption during the use of the flamethrower mechanism, which leads to the reduction of the drone load. The rotor speed can be increased in a low temperature environment because low temperature will weaken the thermal motion of air molecules, and the thermal motion of molecules determines their average kinetic energy and diffusion degree. Low temperature reduces the kinetic energy of molecules, reduces the range of molecular activity, and relatively increases the distance between molecules, which leads to a decrease in the number of air molecules per unit volume, thereby reducing the air density. Based on the lift formula of the rotor drone: L=1 / 2 ρv²SCI (where L is lift, ρ is air density, v is the velocity of the air around the rotor, S is the area of ​​the rotor, and CI is the lift coefficient). It can be seen that a decrease in air density will directly lead to a decrease in lift, which in turn affects the flight stability of the rotorcraft. Increasing the rotor speed can compensate for the lift loss caused by the decrease in air density and ensure the stability of the drone's flight. When the jet fuel consumption increases and the drone's load becomes lower, the rotor speed is automatically reduced, which not only saves energy and extends the drone's flight time, but also avoids the problem that excessive lift will make the drone more sensitive to changes in airflow and wind direction, affecting flight stability.

[0023] 3. Through the intuitive display mechanism of lubrication status and the self-adjusting compensation mechanism of rotor speed, the lubricating oil loss during the flight of the UAV can be automatically calculated, so that the staff can arrange the maintenance time more reasonably and avoid unnecessary maintenance too early or too late. The calculation degree can be automatically adjusted based on the rotor speed, and the calculation of lubricating oil loss is more accurate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The outer wall of the transmission seat 54 is fixedly connected with a second limit sliding block, and the inner wall of the display housing 51 is provided with a second limit sliding groove matching and slidingly connected with the second limit sliding block.

[0045] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: the drone body 1 takes off to perform power inspection work, which can quickly cover a large area of ​​power lines and equipment, thereby improving inspection efficiency. When the drone body 1 cooperates with the high-definition camera 7 to display that there are foreign objects entangled in the power lines, the ground operator controls the drone body 1 to move to the foreign objects, and sprays flames through the flamethrower 24 and the fuel tank 22 to burn the foreign objects, thereby preventing the existence of foreign objects from causing continuous damage to the power lines. The flamethrowing intensity is determined based on the type and size of the foreign objects. At the same time, when spraying flames, the compensation fan 27 is synchronously turned on to form a thrust in the opposite direction of the flamethrowing direction, thereby compensating for the recoil generated by the flamethrower 24 when spraying flames. The greater the flamethrowing intensity, the greater the working power of the compensation fan 27, and the better the recoil generated by the flamethrowing, so that the drone hovers more stably, and the accuracy and safety of the flamethrowing are improved.

[0046] The temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate 8 monitors the ambient temperature in real time. The temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate 8 is specifically a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, which is made of barium titanate as the main material, and then doped with an appropriate amount of rare earth elements, and is manufactured using a ceramic process. At low temperatures, the crystal structure of the temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate 8 is in a relatively disordered state, and the migration of carriers (electrons or holes) in the material is relatively easy. At this time, the resistance value is small, and as the temperature increases, the crystal structure inside the material changes, and an ordered crystal structure is gradually formed, which makes the migration of carriers difficult and the resistance value increases rapidly;

[0047] At the beginning, the central controller in the drone body 1 controls the power supply equipment to supply a fixed power supply current to the force electromagnetic plate 46. The force electromagnetic plate 46 is energized to generate the same magnetism as the force-bearing permanent magnet plate 45, thereby driving the sliding plate 43 along the guide slide rod 42, overcoming the elastic force of the reset spring 44 and sliding in the compensation shell 41, thereby causing the compensation conductive contact 48 to slide a certain distance on the compensation resistor rod 47, and the temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate 8 is connected in series to the power supply circuit of the force electromagnetic plate 46. In a low temperature environment, the resistance value of the temperature-sensitive variable resistor plate 8 becomes smaller. At this time, the power supply current of the force electromagnetic plate 46 is larger, which makes the magnetism of the force electromagnetic plate 46 stronger, thereby causing the sliding plate 43 to be subjected to a greater thrust, driving the compensation conductive contact 48 to slide a greater distance on the compensation resistor rod 47, thereby making the access to the compensation resistor rod 47 The resistance value is smaller, and the resistance value signal fed back to the central controller in the drone body 1 by the compensation conductive contact 48 and the compensation resistor rod 47 is smaller. The central controller controls the brushless DC motor at the corresponding rotor of the drone body 1 to operate at a greater working power through the electronic speed regulator, thereby allowing the drone body 1 to increase the rotor speed, thereby compensating for the reduction in air density caused in a low temperature environment. Based on the lift formula of the rotor drone: L=1 / 2ρv²SCI (where L is lift, ρ is air density, v is the flow rate of air around the rotor, S is the area of ​​the rotor, and CI is the lift coefficient), it can be seen that the reduction in air density will directly lead to a reduction in lift, thereby affecting the flight stability of the rotor drone, and increasing the rotor speed can compensate for the lift loss caused by the reduction in air density, thereby ensuring the stability of the drone flight;

[0048] When the flamethrower 24 is in operation, the fuel in the fuel tank 22 will be consumed, thereby gradually reducing the load of the UAV body 1. When the flamethrower 24 is in use, the central controller controls the adjusting motor 33 to act synchronously, and the adjusting motor 33 drives the adjusting screw 32 to rotate. The threaded connection between the adjusting screw 32 and the adjusting seat 34 enables the adjusting seat 34 to drive the feedback conductive contact 36 to slide on the feedback resistor rod 35, thereby gradually increasing the access resistance of the feedback resistor rod 35. Specifically, the greater the flamethrower intensity of the flamethrower 24, the faster the rotation speed of the adjusting motor 33 controlled by the central controller, the faster the feedback conductive contact 36 slides on the feedback resistor rod 35, and the faster the access resistance of the feedback resistor rod 35 increases, indicating that the fuel in the fuel tank 22 is consumed faster. The feedback conductive contact 36 and the feedback resistor rod 35 are connected in series to the power supply circuit of the force electromagnetic plate 46. When the fuel in the fuel tank 22 is consumed more, the access resistance of the feedback resistor rod 35 is larger, thereby making the power supply current of the force electromagnetic plate 46 smaller. Under the push-back action of the reset spring 44, the sliding plate 43 drives the compensation conductive contact 48 to slide on the compensation resistor rod 47. The larger the access resistance of the compensation resistor rod 47, the larger the resistance value signal fed back to the central controller. The central controller controls the brushless DC motor to work at a lower speed through the electronic speed regulator, which can not only save energy and extend the flight time of the drone, but also avoid the problem that excessive lift will make the drone more sensitive to changes in airflow and wind direction, affecting flight stability.

[0049] When the drone body 1 is flying, the rotor is rotating, and there is a loss of lubricating oil at its rotating connection, and the faster the rotation speed, the greater the loss of lubricating oil. During the flight of the drone, the central controller controls the servo motor 53 to act synchronously, and the servo motor 53 drives the transmission screw 52 to rotate. The threaded socket connection between the transmission screw 52 and the transmission seat 54 enables the transmission seat 54 to drive the pointer 55 to move. The central controller first controls the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 based on the difference in flight speed corresponding to the rotor speed. When the flight speed of the drone needs to be fast, the rotation speed of the rotor is also accelerated accordingly. The central controller controls the servo motor 53 to work at a higher rotation speed, so that the movement speed of the pointer 55 is accelerated, corresponding to the state of faster lubricating oil loss at this time. The compensating conductive contact 48 and the compensating resistor rod 47 are also connected in series to the power supply circuit of the servo motor 53. When the low temperature environment and flamethrower operation cause the UAV load to decrease and the access resistance of the compensation resistor rod 47 to change, the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 will also change synchronously. When the low temperature environment makes the access resistance of the compensation resistor rod 47 small and the rotor speed increases, the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 also increases, thereby improving the calculation speed of the lubricating oil loss state. When the UAV load is reduced and the rotor speed decreases during the flamethrower operation, the access resistance of the compensation resistor rod 47 is relatively larger, thereby making the rotation speed of the servo motor 53 slower. The lubricating oil loss during the flight of the UAV can be automatically calculated, so that the staff can arrange the maintenance time more reasonably, avoid unnecessary maintenance too early or too late, and can automatically adjust the calculation degree based on the rotor speed, so that the calculation of the lubricating oil loss is more accurate.
