Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle deicing, and in particular relates to an automatic power supply and material replacement device for a deicing unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] De-icing robots and de-icing drones are new equipment that have played an important role in the emergency response to snowstorm disasters in distribution networks in recent years. They can effectively reduce the burden of human resources under snowstorm disasters and avoid the risk of personal accidents. De-icing robots mainly use online physical de-icing to remove large areas of ice with high thickness and density. De-icing drones mainly use fuel heating and de-icing agents to remove local ice and snow or foreign objects such as bird nests and plastic pollutants. Currently, common de-icing drones are mostly traditional agricultural drones with ignition devices and other structures added to realize their functions. They also mainly rely on traditional manual operations to replace batteries and materials such as combustion and de-icing agents. With the advancement of power grid automation operations and the extensive and complex lines in the distribution area, relying on traditional manual replacement methods will greatly limit the operating efficiency of de-icing robots.
