Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power transmission tower monitoring technology, and in particular to a drone-launched monitoring device and method for monitoring geological disasters on power transmission towers. Background Technology

[0002] In the grand system of modern power energy transmission, transmission towers stand like giants on the vast land. They are the key supporting structures for power transmission. As a bridge connecting power plants and power-consuming areas, transmission towers bear the heavy responsibility of safely and stably delivering electricity to thousands of households. Their stability is directly related to the reliable operation of the entire power network and has an undeniable significance for social and economic development and the protection of people's quality of life.

[0003] In today's society, geological disasters pose a serious threat to the safety of power transmission towers. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and mudslides occur frequently. Once these disasters affect power transmission towers, they may cause power transmission interruptions, which in turn have a huge impact on economic development and people's lives. Traditional methods of monitoring power transmission towers often face many difficulties in geological disaster environments, such as traffic obstruction making it difficult for personnel to access the towers and complex terrain limiting the installation of monitoring equipment.

[0004] With the development of technology, drone technology has brought new hope to solving this dilemma. With its flexibility and operability, drones can quickly reach the vicinity of power transmission towers in disaster-stricken areas, and the combination of drop-type monitoring equipment and drones is an innovative solution.

[0005] To address these issues, we have developed a drone-based drop-type monitoring device and method for monitoring geological hazards on power transmission towers. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drone-launched monitoring device and method for monitoring geological disasters on power transmission towers. By combining a folding adjustment mechanism, a glue injection mechanism, and a buffer mechanism, it solves the problems that existing power transmission tower monitoring methods often face many difficulties in geological disaster environments, such as the lack of an efficient buffer energy absorption structure for equipment descent and the inability to release soil solidification liquid.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This invention relates to a drone-launched monitoring device for monitoring geological disasters on power transmission towers. The device includes a housing, with photovoltaic panels mounted on both sides. A folding adjustment mechanism is located between the housing and the photovoltaic panels. A counterweight mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and a glue injection mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight mechanism. A plug-in mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the glue injection mechanism. A buffer mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing, and a monitoring device body is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer mechanism. A limit mechanism is provided between the monitoring device body and the inner wall of the housing.

[0009] The buffer mechanism includes a first spring, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the first spring, the top of the connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the monitoring device, an energy-absorbing soft pad fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, the bottom of the energy-absorbing soft pad fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing, dampers fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate, the bottom of the dampers fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing, a first friction plate fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the housing, and a second friction plate fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate, with the first friction plate and the second friction plate in close contact.

[0010] The glue injection mechanism includes a receiving shell, with a separation membrane extending through all four sides of the bottom of the receiving shell. The inner cavity of the receiving shell is filled with polyacrylamide polymer colloid. Limiting telescopic tubes are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the receiving shell. A support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting telescopic tube, and a breaking needle is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the shell can contain and protect the components inside its cavity. The photovoltaic panel can convert light energy into electrical energy. A storage battery is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the monitoring equipment, which is used to power the electrical structure. The monitoring sensors inside the main body of the monitoring equipment include tilt monitoring, displacement monitoring, and foundation settlement monitoring. These sensors can be added or removed according to usage requirements. When the transmission tower monitoring equipment is accurately deployed to the designated point, its own inertia causes the insertion mechanism to insert into the soil. The insertion mechanism fixes the transmission tower monitoring equipment. When the insertion mechanism is about to be fully inserted into the soil, the soil will squeeze the support plate, causing the support plate to move upward. The limiting telescopic tube can limit the movement of the support plate, improving the stability of the support plate during movement. The upward movement of the support plate will drive the breaking needle to move upward. The upward movement of the breaking needle will break the isolation membrane, and the polyacrylamide polymer colloid inside the containment shell will be discharged. Polyacrylamide can be dissolved in water... To form long-chain polymer colloids, these long chains can adsorb onto the surface of soil particles in the soil. Through the entanglement and cross-linking of the molecular chains, the soil particles are aggregated together, thus solidifying the soil and improving the stability of the transmission tower monitoring equipment during use. When the transmission tower monitoring equipment comes into contact with the soil, it generates a certain impact force. This impact force drives the main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery downwards. The main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery drive the connecting plate downwards. The downward movement of the connecting plate compresses the first spring. The elastic potential energy of the first spring buffers the impact force. The downward movement of the connecting plate also compresses the damper and the energy-absorbing pad. The damper, together with the energy-absorbing pad, can efficiently absorb the impact force, thereby further improving the buffering effect. The downward movement of the connecting plate drives the second friction plate downwards. The friction between the first and second friction plates can further improve the buffering effect, thus ensuring the safety of the main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the folding adjustment mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing, a first connecting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod, a transmission rod is movably connected to the bottom of the first connecting block via a rotating rod, a second connecting block is movably connected to the bottom of the transmission rod via a rotating rod, the left side of the second connecting block is fixedly connected to the right side of the photovoltaic panel, a support plate is movably connected to the bottom of the right side of the photovoltaic panel via a rotating rod, the right side of the support plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing, and auxiliary brackets are fixedly connected to the bottom of both sides of the housing.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone deploys the monitoring equipment for the power transmission tower, the photovoltaic panels are in a folded state, thus ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic panels during descent. When the attitude sensor detects that the monitoring equipment is tilting during descent, the controller inside the main body of the monitoring equipment automatically controls the folding adjustment mechanism to work, thereby fine-tuning the angle of the photovoltaic panels. Tilting to the left adjusts the angle of the left photovoltaic panel, and tilting to the right adjusts the angle of the right photovoltaic panel. This fine-tuning does not affect the safety of the photovoltaic panels and ensures that the monitoring equipment falls vertically. After the monitoring equipment is stably inserted into the soil, the folding adjustment mechanism is controlled remotely to start the electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod moves the first connecting block, which in turn moves the transmission rod, which in turn moves the second connecting shell. The second connecting block causes the photovoltaic panels to swing around the left side of the support plate, thus unfolding the photovoltaic panels. The photovoltaic panels can then convert light energy into electrical energy, achieving solar charging.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the counterweight mechanism includes a counterweight shell, the top of the counterweight shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, the bottom of the counterweight shell is fixedly connected to the top of the receiving shell, a placement groove is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the counterweight shell, and a counterweight block is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the counterweight shell is used to contain and protect the placement slot and the counterweight block, the placement slot is used to contain and fix the counterweight block, and the counterweight block can be added or removed according to the usage requirements. The counterweight shell, placement slot and counterweight block can lower the center of gravity of the transmission tower monitoring equipment, thereby ensuring that the transmission tower monitoring equipment keeps the bottom downward.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the insertion mechanism includes a first insertion rod and a second insertion rod, the second insertion rod being evenly distributed around the first insertion rod, and the tops of both the first insertion rod and the second insertion rod being fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight mechanism.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the power transmission tower monitoring equipment comes into contact with the soil, the first plug-in rod will be inserted into the soil first. The first plug-in rod has both the effect of initial fixation and the effect of positioning. Then the second plug-in rod will be inserted into the soil immediately. The power transmission tower monitoring equipment is fixed by the first plug-in rod and multiple second plug-in rods.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the limiting mechanism includes a support block, the surface of the support block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the support block, a sliding sleeve is fitted on the surface of the sliding rod, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod, and the surface of the sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body of the monitoring device.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the main body of the monitoring equipment moves downward due to impact, it will drive the sliding sleeve to move downward. The sliding sleeve will slide on the surface of the sliding rod. The sliding sleeve and the sliding rod can limit the main body of the monitoring equipment and improve the stability of the main body of the monitoring equipment when it moves.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that a uniformly distributed fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the housing, and a lifting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing blocks and lifting rings can connect the lifting structure of the UAV, and the four sets of fixing blocks and lifting rings can ensure the stability of the power transmission tower monitoring equipment during lifting.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that a cover plate is fixedly connected to the top of the housing by bolts and threaded holes, a first waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the cover plate and the housing, a second spring is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the cover plate, an auxiliary limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second spring, a support block is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cover plate, and a Beidou positioning module is fixedly connected to the top of the support block.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate is used to seal the shell, the first waterproof sealing gasket can ensure the sealing of the connection between the cover plate and the shell, the second spring, together with the auxiliary limiting plate, can provide auxiliary buffering for the main body of the monitoring equipment, further enhancing the buffering effect, and the support block is used to fix the Beidou positioning module, which can achieve accurate positioning.

[0024] The present invention is further configured such that a maintenance plate is provided on the front side of the housing, the maintenance plate is fixedly connected to the housing by screws, a second waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the maintenance plate and the housing, an attitude sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the front side of the housing, a sealing plate is provided on the back side of the counterweight shell, the sealing plate is fixedly connected to the counterweight shell by screws, and a third waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the sealing plate and the counterweight shell.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the inspection plate can be disassembled, thereby allowing the components inside the housing to be disassembled and inspected. The second waterproof sealing gasket can ensure the sealing of the connection between the inspection plate and the housing. The attitude sensor is used to detect the falling attitude of the power transmission tower monitoring equipment in real time. The sealing plate can be disassembled, thereby allowing the counterweight to be added or removed. The third waterproof sealing gasket can improve the sealing of the connection between the sealing plate and the counterweight shell.

[0026] The method for using a drone-dropped monitoring device for geological disaster monitoring of power transmission towers includes the following steps:

[0027] Drone Selection: Select a suitable drone based on the weight of the monitoring equipment. Drones possess advantages such as wide temperature range, long range, strong signal, and high intelligence, supporting both cargo container and empty crane systems. They can fully overcome traditional transportation limitations, flexibly respond to various transportation scenarios, and meet the needs of dropping monitoring equipment on power transmission towers in geological disaster scenarios. Target Positioning and Path Planning: Transportation to the Accident Site: Transport the drone to the accident site of the power transmission tower in the geological disaster using a vehicle. Upon arrival, assemble and release the drone equipment for takeoff. Determine the Target Location and Plan the Path: The drone uses its onboard GPS positioning system to determine the location of the power transmission tower as the target location. Then, it uses its built-in algorithms to plan the optimal flight path to ensure accurate delivery of the monitoring equipment to a suitable location near the power transmission tower. Loading and Fixing of Power Transmission Tower Monitoring Equipment: Operators load the relevant equipment for monitoring the power transmission tower onto the drone's mounting points. During loading, careful inspection and appropriate measures must be taken to ensure the stability of the power transmission tower monitoring equipment during subsequent flight, preventing... During airdrop, if the location deviates, it is crucial to ensure that the drone and its mounted equipment maintain a vertically downward attitude throughout flight, avoiding instability such as tumbling in the air that could affect the final delivery effect. Automatic release of transmission tower monitoring equipment: Once the drone reaches the designated airdrop area (a suitable drop zone near the transmission tower) according to the planned path, the release device automatically activates to release the transmission tower monitoring equipment. Real-time video monitoring of the drop location: The real-time video monitoring system on the drone closely observes the drop location to ensure it meets pre-design requirements, allowing the monitoring equipment to land accurately in a location conducive to subsequent monitoring work. Laser guidance confirms the drop point: Using laser guidance, a laser drop point is projected on the ground, further clarifying the specific drop location in the video image, ensuring accuracy. Stable placement of the monitoring equipment: The dropper releases the monitoring equipment, and its own weight causes the needle at its base to deeply penetrate the soil, allowing the monitoring equipment to be stably placed at the drop point, achieving a stable monitoring effect, thus enabling the corresponding monitoring work on the transmission tower.

[0028] The invention is further configured such that, during the target positioning and path planning, the disaster site may have complex and changeable meteorological conditions (such as strong winds, turbulent airflow, etc.), making the planned optimal path no longer applicable. The UAV maintains real-time data communication with ground meteorological monitoring equipment (which can be equipped by the on-site rescue team) to obtain the latest meteorological information. When significant changes in meteorological factors such as wind direction and wind speed are detected, the UAV's path planning system quickly recalculates and adjusts the flight path to avoid airspace unfavorable to flight, such as areas with strong winds and turbulent airflow, ensuring flight safety and delivery accuracy.

[0029] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. When the insertion mechanism is almost fully inserted into the soil, the soil squeezes the support plate, causing the breaking needle to move upward. The breaking of the isolation membrane causes the polyacrylamide polymer colloid to be discharged, thus solidifying the soil. The connecting plate moves downward due to the impact, squeezing the first spring, damper, and energy-absorbing pad. The impact force is efficiently absorbed by the first spring, damper, and energy-absorbing pad. The friction between the second friction plate and the first friction plate further enhances the buffering effect, ensuring the safety of the monitoring equipment body and the battery.

[0031] 2. The throwing device of the present invention can be accurately deployed near key parts of power transmission towers when drones cannot land, enabling real-time monitoring of important parameters such as the structural status, displacement, and vibration of the towers. It overcomes the limitations of geographical environment and disaster conditions, and provides a strong guarantee for timely and accurate understanding of the safety status of power transmission towers during and after geological disasters.

[0045] The technical solutions of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Specific Implementation Example 1

[0047] Please see Figures 1-11 This invention is a drone-launched monitoring device for monitoring geological disasters on power transmission towers. It includes a housing 1, photovoltaic panels 2 on both sides of the housing 1, a folding adjustment mechanism between the housing 1 and the photovoltaic panels 2, a counterweight mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1, an injection mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight mechanism, an insertion mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the injection mechanism, a buffer mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, a monitoring device body fixedly connected to the top of the buffer mechanism, and a limit mechanism between the monitoring device body and the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0048] The buffer mechanism includes a first spring 3, a connecting plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the first spring 3, the top of the connecting plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the monitoring device, an energy-absorbing soft pad 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 4, the bottom of the energy-absorbing soft pad 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, dampers 6 fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate 4, the bottom of the dampers 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, a first friction plate 7 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the housing 1, and a second friction plate 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting plate 4, with the first friction plate 7 and the second friction plate 8 in close contact.

[0049] The glue injection mechanism includes a housing 9, with a separation membrane 10 extending through all four sides of the bottom of the housing 9. The inner cavity of the housing 9 is filled with polyacrylamide polymer colloid. Limiting telescopic tubes 11 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the housing 9. A support plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting telescopic tube 11, and a breaking needle 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 12.

[0050] Specifically: the housing 1 can house and protect the components inside its cavity; the photovoltaic panel 2 can convert light energy into electrical energy; a battery is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the monitoring equipment, which is used to power the electrical structure; the monitoring sensors inside the main body of the monitoring equipment include tilt monitoring, displacement monitoring, and foundation settlement monitoring, etc., and these sensors can be added or removed according to usage requirements. When the transmission tower monitoring equipment is accurately deployed to the designated point, its own inertia causes the insertion mechanism to insert into the soil, which fixes the transmission tower monitoring equipment. When the insertion mechanism is about to be fully inserted into the soil, the soil will squeeze the support plate 12, causing the support plate 12 to move upward. The limiting telescopic tube 11 can limit the movement of the support plate 12, improving the stability of the support plate 12 during movement. The upward movement of the support plate 12 will drive the breaking needle 13 to move upward, and the upward movement of the breaking needle 13 will break the isolation membrane 10, expelling the polyacrylamide polymer colloid inside the housing 9. After the polyacrylamide dissolves in water... It can form long-chain polymer colloids. In soil, these long chains can be adsorbed onto the surface of soil particles. Through the entanglement and cross-linking of molecular chains, the soil particles are aggregated together, thus solidifying the soil and improving the stability of the transmission tower monitoring equipment during use. When the transmission tower monitoring equipment comes into contact with the soil, it will generate a certain impact force. This impact force will drive the main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery to move downwards. The main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery will drive the connecting plate 4 to move downwards. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 will compress the first spring 3. The elastic potential energy of the first spring 3 will buffer the impact force. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 will also compress the damper 6 and the energy-absorbing pad 5. The damper 6, together with the energy-absorbing pad 5, can efficiently absorb the impact force, thereby further improving the buffering effect. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 will drive the second friction plate 8 to move downwards. The friction between the first friction plate 7 and the second friction plate 8 can further improve the buffering effect, thereby ensuring the safety of the main body of the monitoring equipment and the battery. Specific Implementation Example 2

[0052] Please see Figures 1-11Based on the first specific embodiment, the folding adjustment mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod 14. The surface of the electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 1. A first connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 14. A transmission rod 16 is movably connected to the bottom of the first connecting block 15 via a rotating rod. A second connecting block 17 is movably connected to the bottom of the transmission rod 16 via a rotating rod. The left side of the second connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the photovoltaic panel 2. A support plate 18 is movably connected to the bottom of the right side of the photovoltaic panel 2 via a rotating rod. The right side of the support plate 18 is fixedly connected to the left side of the housing 1. The two sides of the housing 1... Auxiliary brackets 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of each component. The counterweight mechanism includes a counterweight shell 20, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1, and the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the receiving shell 9. A placement groove 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the counterweight shell 20, and a counterweight block 22 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the placement groove 21. The insertion mechanism includes a first insertion rod 23 and a second insertion rod 24. The second insertion rod 24 is evenly distributed around the first insertion rod 23. The tops of both the first insertion rod 23 and the second insertion rod 24 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the counterweight mechanism. The limiting mechanism includes a support block 25. The surface of the support block 25... The inner wall of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the support block 25. A sliding rod 26 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the support block 25. A sliding sleeve 27 is fitted on the surface of the sliding rod 26. The inner wall of the sliding sleeve 27 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod 26. The surface of the sliding sleeve 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body of the monitoring equipment. Evenly distributed fixing blocks 28 are fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the housing 1. A lifting ring 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing blocks 28. A cover plate 30 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 through bolts and threaded holes. A first waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the cover plate 30 and the housing 1. A second spring 31 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the cover plate 30. An auxiliary limiting plate 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 31. Support blocks 33 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the cover plate 30. A Beidou positioning module 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the support blocks 33. A maintenance plate 35 is provided on the front of the housing 1. The maintenance plate 35 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 by screws. A second waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the maintenance plate 35 and the housing 1. An attitude sensor 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the front of the housing 1. A sealing plate 37 is provided on the back of the counterweight shell 20. The sealing plate 37 is fixedly connected to the counterweight shell 20 by screws. A third waterproof sealing gasket is provided between the sealing plate 37 and the counterweight shell 20.

[0053] Specifically: After the drone deploys the transmission tower monitoring equipment, the photovoltaic panel 2 is in a folded state to ensure its safety during descent. When the attitude sensor 36 detects that the transmission tower monitoring equipment is tilting during descent, the controller inside the monitoring equipment automatically controls the folding adjustment mechanism to fine-tune the angle of the photovoltaic panel 2. Tilting to the left adjusts the angle of the left photovoltaic panel 2, and tilting to the right adjusts the angle of the right photovoltaic panel 2. This fine-tuning ensures that the safety of the photovoltaic panel 2 is not affected and that the transmission tower monitoring equipment falls vertically. Once the transmission tower monitoring equipment is stably inserted into the soil, the folding adjustment mechanism is controlled remotely to activate the power supply. The electric telescopic rod 14 drives the first connecting block 15 to move, which in turn drives the transmission rod 16 to move. The transmission rod 16 then drives the second connecting shell to move, and the second connecting block 17 causes the photovoltaic panel 2 to swing around the left side of the support plate 18, thus unfolding the photovoltaic panel 2. The photovoltaic panel 2 can convert light energy into electrical energy, achieving solar charging. The counterweight shell 20 is used to house and protect the placement slot 21 and the counterweight 22. The placement slot 21 is used to house and fix the counterweight 22. The counterweight 22 can be added or removed according to usage requirements. The counterweight shell 20, placement slot 21, and counterweight 22 work together to lower the center of gravity of the transmission tower monitoring equipment, thereby ensuring that the transmission tower monitoring equipment remains bottom-down. In the event of a fall, when the transmission tower monitoring equipment comes into contact with the soil, the first insertion rod 23 will first insert into the soil, serving both as initial fixation and positioning. Subsequently, the second insertion rod 24 will follow, securing the transmission tower monitoring equipment through the combination of the first insertion rod 23 and multiple second insertion rods 24. When the main body of the monitoring equipment moves downwards due to the impact, it will cause the sliding sleeve 27 to move downwards. The sliding sleeve 27 will slide on the surface of the sliding rod 26, thus limiting the main body of the monitoring equipment and improving its stability during movement. The fixing block 28, together with the lifting ring 29, can connect to the lifting structure of the drone. The four sets of fixing blocks 28 and lifting rings ensure the transmission tower remains secure during lifting. To monitor the stability of the monitoring equipment, cover plate 30 is used to seal the housing 1. A first waterproof sealing gasket ensures the airtight connection between cover plate 30 and housing 1. A second spring 31, in conjunction with auxiliary limiting plate 32, provides auxiliary buffering for the main body of the monitoring equipment, further enhancing the buffering effect. Support block 33 is used to fix the Beidou positioning module 34, enabling accurate positioning. Inspection plate 35 can be disassembled, allowing for the disassembly and maintenance of components within the housing 1. A second waterproof sealing gasket ensures the airtight connection between inspection plate 35 and housing 1. Attitude sensor 36 is used to detect the falling attitude of the transmission tower monitoring equipment in real time. Sealing plate 37 can be disassembled, allowing for the addition or removal of counterweight 22.The third waterproof sealing gasket can improve the sealing performance of the connection between the sealing plate 37 and the counterweight shell 20. Specific Implementation Example 3

[0055] The method for using a drone-dropped monitoring device for geological disaster monitoring of power transmission towers includes the following steps:

[0056] Drone Selection: Select a suitable drone based on the weight of the monitoring equipment. Drones offer advantages such as wide temperature range, long range, strong signal, and high intelligence, supporting both cargo container and empty crane systems. They can overcome traditional transportation limitations, flexibly handle various transportation scenarios, and meet the needs of dropping monitoring equipment on power transmission towers in geological disaster scenarios. Target Positioning and Path Planning: Transportation to the Accident Site: Transport the drone to the accident site of the power transmission tower in the geological disaster using a vehicle-mounted system. Upon arrival, assemble and release the drone for takeoff, determine the target location, and plan the path: The drone utilizes its onboard GPS... The PS positioning system determines the location of the power transmission tower as the airdrop target. Then, relying on its built-in algorithms, it plans the optimal flight path to ensure accurate deployment of the monitoring equipment to a suitable location near the tower. However, complex and variable weather conditions at the disaster site (such as strong winds and turbulent airflow) can render the planned optimal path inapplicable. The drone maintains real-time data communication with ground-based meteorological monitoring equipment (which can be equipped by the on-site rescue team) to obtain the latest weather information. When significant changes in wind direction, wind speed, or other meteorological factors are detected, the drone's path planning system quickly re-establishes its position. Calculate and adjust the flight path to avoid areas with strong winds and turbulent airflow, ensuring flight safety and delivery accuracy. Loading and securing the transmission tower monitoring equipment: Operators load the relevant equipment for monitoring the transmission towers onto the drone's mounting points. During loading, careful checks and appropriate measures must be taken to ensure the equipment remains stable during subsequent flight, preventing positional shifts during airdrop. Simultaneously, ensure the drone and its mounted equipment maintain a vertically downward attitude during flight, avoiding instability such as tumbling in the air that could affect the final delivery effect. Automatic release of the transmission tower monitoring equipment... Transmission tower monitoring equipment: Once the drone reaches the designated drop area (i.e., a suitable drop area near the transmission tower) according to the planned path, the release device is automatically activated to release the transmission tower monitoring equipment; Real-time video monitoring of the drop location: Through the real-time video monitoring system equipped on the drone, the drop location is closely observed to ensure that the drop location meets the pre-design requirements, enabling the monitoring equipment to accurately land in a location convenient for subsequent monitoring work; Laser guidance to confirm the drop point: Using the laser guidance function, a laser drop point is projected on the ground, further clearly confirming the specific drop location in the video image, ensuring the accuracy of the drop;

[0057] Stable placement of monitoring equipment: Activate the launcher to release the monitoring equipment. Utilize the weight of the equipment itself to drive the needle at its bottom deep into the soil, ensuring the equipment is stably placed at the launch point and achieving stable monitoring results. This allows for the monitoring of power transmission towers.

[0058] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the housing 1 can accommodate and protect the components inside its cavity; the photovoltaic power generation panel 2 can convert light energy into electrical energy; a storage battery is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the monitoring device, which is used to power the electrical structure; the monitoring sensors inside the main body of the monitoring device include tilt monitoring, displacement monitoring, and foundation settlement monitoring, etc., and these sensors can be added or removed according to usage requirements. When the drone deploys the transmission tower monitoring device, and the attitude sensor 36 detects that the transmission tower monitoring device tilts during its descent, the controller inside the main body of the monitoring device automatically controls the folding adjustment. The mechanism operates to fine-tune the angle of the photovoltaic panel 2. Tilting to the left adjusts the angle of the left photovoltaic panel 2, and tilting to the right adjusts the angle of the right photovoltaic panel 2, thus ensuring the vertical descent of the transmission tower monitoring equipment. Once the transmission tower monitoring equipment is accurately placed at the designated point, its own inertia causes the insertion mechanism to insert into the soil, securing the equipment. As the insertion mechanism is about to fully insert into the soil, the soil compresses the support plate 12, causing it to move upwards. The limiting telescopic tube 11 limits the movement of the support plate 12, improving the stability of the support plate 12 during movement. Stability is ensured when the support plate 12 moves upward, causing the breaking needle 13 to move upward as well. The upward movement of the breaking needle 13 breaks the isolation membrane 10, discharging the polyacrylamide polymer colloid from the inner cavity of the housing 9. Polyacrylamide, when dissolved in water, forms long-chain polymer colloids. In soil, these long chains can adsorb onto the surface of soil particles, accumulating them through the entanglement and cross-linking of the molecular chains, thus solidifying the soil and improving the stability of the transmission tower monitoring equipment. When the transmission tower monitoring equipment comes into contact with the soil, it generates a certain impact force, which drives the monitoring equipment... The main body and battery move downwards, causing the connecting plate 4 to move downwards as well. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 compresses the first spring 3, and the elastic potential energy of the first spring 3 buffers the impact force. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 also compresses the damper 6 and the energy-absorbing pad 5. The damper 6, in conjunction with the energy-absorbing pad 5, can efficiently absorb the impact force, thereby further improving the buffering effect. The downward movement of the connecting plate 4 will also cause the second friction plate 8 to move downwards. The friction between the first friction plate 7 and the second friction plate 8 can further improve the buffering effect, thereby ensuring the safety of the main body and battery of the monitoring equipment.
