[0031] According to an optional implementation of the present invention, the noise reduction processing module includes a spatial domain noise reduction module. The high-frequency noise in the image is reduced by a bilateral filtering method.

[0032] According to an optional implementation of the present invention, the noise reduction processing module includes an image enhancement module. The image enhancement module adjusts the contrast of the image and improves the overall contrast by stretching the histogram.

[0033] Implementation process: When the faulty wire 42 needs to be repaired, the rotor 2 on the body 1 is controlled to rotate by the remote controller, so that the body 1 flies to the side of the faulty wire 42, and the camera device 4 can provide the operator with the field of view of the drone.

[0034] In the initial state, the electrical tape body 19 passes through between the limit block 20 and the cutting mechanism 21, the electrical tape body 19 and the outer wall of the insulating seat 23 are against each other, one end of the electrical tape body 19 is clamped by the plastic sheet layer 26 of the top wall of the insulating seat 23 and the bottom wall of the pressure seat 25, the adhesive surface of the electrical tape body 19 and the plastic sheet layer 26 are against each other, and the second spur gear 33 and the fourth spur gear 40 are meshed.

[0035] The second motor 15 is controlled to rotate the first spur gear 16, which drives the tape operating rack 12 to move, thereby moving the tape operating rack 12 upward, so that the electrical tape body 19 is released from the paper tube 18, and the released electrical tape body 19 has enough length to wrap the faulty wire 42.

[0036] The second fan blade 41 is aligned with the faulty wire 42, and the third motor 32 is turned on. The third motor 32 controls the second spur gear 33 to rotate, and the second spur gear 33 drives the fourth spur gear 40, the second rotating shaft 39, and the second connecting plate 38 to rotate. The second connecting plate 38 rotates to generate wind, so that the wind blows away the debris at the damaged point of the faulty wire 42, preventing the debris from affecting the sticking effect of the electrical tape body 19, and preventing the electrical tape body 19 from falling off or loosening in the later stage.

[0037] The pressing groove 24 is aligned with the faulty wire 42, and then the position of the machine body 1 is controlled so that the adhesive surface of the electrical tape body 19 is attached to the faulty wire 42. When the electromagnet 30 is turned on, the inner wall of the pressing groove 24 is close to the faulty wire 42. The electromagnet 30 is energized to generate magnetic attraction. The electromagnet 30 adsorbs the permanent magnet 27, so that the pressing seat 25, the L-shaped rod 31, the third motor 32, and the second spur gear 33 overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 28 and move upward. The second spur gear 33 and the third spur gear 36 are meshed. The second spur gear 33 drives the third spur gear 36, the first rotating shaft 35 and the first fan blade 37 to rotate. The first fan blade 37 generates wind. After the pressing seat 25 moves upward, the electrical tape body 19 is gradually separated from the plastic sheet layer 26. The plastic sheet layer 26 can reduce the degree of adhesion between the electrical tape body 19 and the bottom wall of the pressure seat 25, making it easier for the electrical tape body 19 to be separated from the bottom wall of the pressure seat 25. The wind generated by the first wind blade 37 blows the electrical tape body 19 separated from the plastic sheet layer 26, so that the adhesive surface of the electrical tape body 19 contacts the outer wall of the faulty wire 42. The inner wall of the clamping groove 24 is close to the faulty wire 42, which enables the electrical tape body 19 and the faulty wire 42 to enter the clamping groove 24, and the inner wall of the clamping groove 24 presses the electrical tape body 19 against the outer wall of the faulty wire 42, thereby increasing the adhesive contact area between the electrical tape body 19 and the faulty wire 42, increasing the degree of adhesion, and controlling the body 1 to make the faulty wire 42 detach from the clamping groove 24.

[0038] Then the second motor 15 controls the first spur gear 16 to rotate, and the first spur gear 16 drives the tape operating rack 12 to move downward to prevent the tape operating rack 12 from contacting the faulty wire 42 when the subsequent electrical tape body 19 wraps around the faulty wire 42. The first motor 8 controls the screw 9 to rotate, so that the displacement seat 10 and the tape operating rack 12 are horizontally displaced, further preventing the subsequent electrical tape body 19 from contacting the faulty wire 42 when it wraps around the faulty wire 42.

[0039] Then, the machine body 1 is controlled to fly several circles around the faulty wire 42 so that the electrical tape body 19 wraps and repairs the damaged point of the faulty wire 42. When the wrapping and repair are completed, the cutting mechanism 21 is controlled to move to cut the electrical tape body 19. Then, the machine body 1 is controlled to move so that the tape operating rack 12 and the protruding tape on the faulty wire 42 are pushed, and the protruding tape and the faulty wire 42 are pasted together, thereby completing the repair of the faulty wire 42.

[0040] The present invention can replace manual high-altitude repair of faulty wires 42, and use the image acquisition module and noise reduction processing module on the camera device 4 to obtain clear image data for the operator to view the field of view of the drone, so as to facilitate the repair of the faulty wires 42. The position of the tape operating rack 12 can be controlled by driving the first motor 8 and the second motor 15. The magnetic force of the electromagnet 30 can release the clamping of the electrical tape body 19 by the pressure seat 25 and switch the driving object of the third motor 32, thereby achieving the cleaning of the faulty wires 42 and the wrapping and repair of the faulty wires 42. The drone of the present invention can reduce the risk of wire maintenance in power grid rescue, and does not require personnel to perform high-altitude operations, so as to safely and efficiently perform power grid maintenance.

[0041] The components, modules, mechanisms and devices not described in detail in the present invention are all universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
