Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle protection, and in particular to a foldable Faraday cage structure for an oil-powered unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of drone technology, especially the increasing application of oil-powered drones, they have played an important role in power inspection, forest firefighting, agricultural spraying and other fields. However, due to the particularity of oil-powered drones, their operation in high-voltage environments and use in severe weather conditions face many challenges. Although the traditional Faraday cage structure can protect drones from electromagnetic interference to a certain extent, it is extremely inconvenient to transport and install due to its complex structure and large size, especially difficult to deploy quickly in emergency situations.

[0003] In the prior art, the main problems faced by drones in high-voltage power inspections include electromagnetic interference and the impact of high-voltage discharge on the drone's internal electronic equipment. In addition, when oil-powered drones are inspecting high-voltage lines, if they encounter rain or other water mist environments, water droplets can easily enter the engine or electronic equipment, causing equipment failure or even accidents. Therefore, how to provide a Faraday cage structure that is easy to transport, quick to install, and has good protection while maintaining the efficient operation of drones has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0004] Existing Faraday cage designs are usually large and complex in structure, which not only increases the weight and flight burden of drones, but also affects the flexibility and endurance of drones to a certain extent. Traditional Faraday cages are mostly fixed and need to be assembled during the drone manufacturing process, which not only increases the manufacturing cost and process complexity, but also makes the maintenance and repair of drones more difficult.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a foldable Faraday cage structure for oil-powered UAVs. Through innovative structural design, the folding and rapid deployment functions of the Faraday cage are realized, which significantly improves the portability and ease of operation of the equipment. In addition, combined with the application of a water mist protective cover, the protection needs of oil-powered UAVs operating in a water mist environment are effectively solved, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the UAV in various complex environments.

[0006] In summary, the present invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art of bulky Faraday cage structure, complex installation and insufficient waterproof protection, and to provide a foldable Faraday cage structure with simple structure, easy use and excellent protection effect to meet the operation requirements of oil-powered UAVs in high-pressure environments and severe weather conditions.

[0025] The present invention provides a foldable Faraday cage structure for a petrol-powered unmanned aerial vehicle, which mainly includes a supporting spindle 1, a foldable protective frame 2, a quick-release ring 3 and a water mist protective cover 4. The supporting spindle 1 is installed at the center point of the top of the unmanned aerial vehicle, one end of the foldable protective frame 2 is a circular hole, and the other end is connected to the water mist protective cover 4 connecting rod, the circular hole is sleeved on the supporting spindle 1, and the circular holes of multiple foldable protective frames 2 are layered on the supporting spindle 1 from bottom to top. The middle part of the foldable protective frame 2 is connected to the quick-release ring 3 connecting rod, the upper end of the quick-release ring 3 connecting rod is connected to the foldable protective frame 2, and the lower end is fixed to the unmanned aerial vehicle arm 5 by a quick-release structure, so that the foldable protective frame 2 is supported by the unmanned aerial vehicle arm 5. When this Faraday cage is needed, it is only necessary to open the foldable protective frame 2 like a folding fan, and each protective frame corresponds to a unmanned aerial vehicle arm 5. This structure solves the problem that the Faraday cage structure of a large oil-powered unmanned aerial vehicle is inconvenient to transport, and at the same time, the water mist protective cover 4 solves the protection of the unmanned aerial vehicle for the oil-powered engine in operation scenarios such as water washing.

[0026] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the supporting main shaft 1 is made of high-strength material and can bear the weight of the multi-layer foldable protective frame 2, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the entire Faraday cage structure.

[0027] In one embodiment, the foldable protective frame 2 is made of a lightweight and high-strength material, and a circular hole is provided at one end of each protective frame, so that it can be flexibly unfolded and folded, thereby achieving convenient transportation and rapid deployment.

[0028] In one embodiment, the quick-release structure of the quick-release ring 3 includes a quick-release button and a locking mechanism, which can achieve quick disassembly and assembly through simple operations, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0029] In one embodiment, the water mist protective cover 4 is made of waterproof material, which can effectively prevent water mist and other liquids from entering the oil-driven engine and provide all-round protection.

[0030] Example

[0031] In this embodiment, a standard oil-powered UAV is taken as an example, and the UAV is equipped with the foldable Faraday cage structure of the present invention. The structure includes a supporting spindle 1, a plurality of foldable protective frames 2, a quick-release ring 3 and a water mist protective cover 4. The supporting spindle 1 is installed at the center point of the top of the UAV, the foldable protective frame 2 is layered on the supporting spindle 1 through a circular hole, the quick-release ring 3 is connected to the middle of the foldable protective frame 2, and is fixed to the UAV arm 5 through a quick-release structure.

[0032] When the UAV is performing high-voltage power inspection or water flushing operations, it only needs to unfold the foldable protective frame 2. Each protective frame corresponds to a UAV arm 5, thereby forming a complete Faraday cage structure, which effectively protects the electronic equipment and engine inside the UAV from external electromagnetic interference and water mist.

[0033] After the operation is completed, the foldable protective frame 2 can be quickly disassembled through the quick release ring 3 and folded and stored for convenient next use and transportation. Since the present invention is made of lightweight and high-strength materials, it not only reduces the load of the drone, but also improves the durability and convenience of the Faraday cage structure.

[0034] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and new concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
