[0028] According to Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, the multi-directional adjustment mechanism 9 includes a fixed seat 901, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the installation platform 808.

[0030] According to Figure 7 As shown in the figure, an integrated module 12 is installed at the bottom of the equipment platform frame 501 of the carrier. The integrated module 12 is connected to the UAV body 1, the visible light camera 10 and the infrared thermal imager 11 through internal wires.

At the same time, the position and flight attitude of the UAV are accurately determined to ensure that the UAV can perform inspections according to the predetermined route. At the same time, it also helps to accurately geolocate the captured images and the collected data, facilitating subsequent analysis and management, and can monitor the concentration of harmful gases in the environment around the photovoltaic power station, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. In some cases, equipment failures in the photovoltaic power station may cause harmful gas leakage, and gas sensors can detect abnormalities in a timely manner, ensuring the safety of power station staff and the normal operation of equipment. Among them, the integrated module 12 mainly integrates functions such as a data transmission module, a positioning module, and a gas sensor, and can effectively and accurately handle the problems generated during the operation of the UAV body and the carrier equipment.

[0031] According to Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, a connecting frame 13 is connected to the bottom of each sliding block 504. A pin 14 is installed on one side of each connecting frame 13. A jack 15 is provided on one side of each socket 801 and plug block 807. Each pin 14 is adapted to a corresponding jack 15. Through the settings of the connecting frame 13, pin 14 and jack 15, the stability of the visible light camera 10 and the infrared thermal imager 11 during plug-in installation can be improved, further enhancing safety and inspection quality.

[0032] According to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a transparent protective cover 16 is installed at the bottom of the equipment platform frame 501. Second mounting brackets 17 are installed at both ends of the top of the transparent protective cover 16. One end of each of the two second mounting brackets 17 movably penetrates through the equipment platform frame 501. Two fastening bolts 18 are installed on one side of each second mounting bracket 17. Through the settings of the transparent protective cover 16, second mounting brackets 17 and fastening bolts 18, a good protective effect on the carried equipment can be achieved, thereby preventing external factors from damaging the carried equipment and extending the service life of the carried equipment.

[0033] Working principle: First, connect the power supply to the UAV body 1, visible light camera 10, infrared thermal imager 11 and integrated module 12 to supply power to them, and at the same time check the operating status of the UAV body 1, visible light camera 10, infrared thermal imager 11 and integrated module 12 to ensure that they can operate normally. Then, form a closed information interaction and collaborative operation between the UAV body 1, visible light camera 10, infrared thermal imager 11 and integrated module 12 with external control equipment to achieve an efficient control scheme.

[0034] During the module installation stage, first, place the visible light camera 10 and infrared thermal imager 11 to be installed into the corresponding U-shaped frames 905 one by one and fix them with bolts. Then, push the installation platform 808 to make the plug block 807 insert into the socket 801. At this time, the two trapezoidal blocks 805 are squeezed by the plug block 807, causing the corresponding movable rods 802 to slide outwards. At the same time, the spring 806 contracts under the extrusion force. When the plug block 807 is completely inserted into the socket 801, the spring 806 rebounds, driving the trapezoidal block 805 to reset and clamp the plug block 807, thereby fixing the visible light camera 10 and infrared thermal imager 11. When it is necessary to disassemble the visible light camera 10 and infrared thermal imager 11, pull the two pull rings 804 to make the corresponding movable rods 802 slide outwards, causing the trapezoidal block 805 to release the clamping of the plug block 807. At this time, lift the visible light camera 10 or infrared thermal imager 11 to disassemble it.

[0035] During the platform installation stage, first, insert the platform frame 501 of the carrying device into the first mounting bracket 3. Grasp and turn the operating handwheel 604 to drive the connecting shaft 603 to drive the second bevel gear 602 to rotate. At the same time, the two first bevel gears 601 meshing with the second bevel gear 602 drive the corresponding lead screws 503 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block 504 to slide along the guide rod 502 and the lead screw 503. Under the sliding action, the second link 506 rotates and at the same time causes the first link 505 to rotate and unfold, so that the positioning pin 507 passes through the through hole 508 and inserts into the docking hole 4. During this process, the connecting frame 13 slides with the sliding block 504, causing the insertion pin 14 to insert into the insertion hole 15 to further fix the plug-in block 807. Then, turn the long handle bolt 705 to drive it to push the sliding frame 704 to slide on the fixed rod 703, so that the sliding frame 704 cooperates with the fixed block 702 to clamp the connecting shaft 603, making it difficult to spin.

[0036] During the external shield stage, first, attach the transparent shield 16 to the bottom of the platform frame 501 of the carrying device, and then insert the two second mounting brackets 17 through the platform frame 501 of the carrying device. Then, turn the fastening bolts 18 to fix the two second mounting brackets 17 in sequence, and then install and fix the transparent shield 16 at the bottom of the platform frame 501 of the carrying device to protect the carrying device from the outside.

[0037] During the flight inspection stage, first, place the UAV body 1 on the ground and provide stable support for it through the support frame 204. Then, start the four high-strength motors 202. The high-strength motors 202 drive the propellers 203 to rotate, driving the UAV body 1 to fly and enter the inspection state. During the inspection process, control the visible light camera 10 and the infrared thermal imager 11 to work through the external control system, and transmit the data collected during the inspection back through the integration module 12. In addition, according to the inspection requirements of different areas, control the servo motor 902 and the electric turntable 904 to start through the external control system. The servo motor 902 drives the rotating seat 903 to rotate, thereby adjusting the pitching angle of the visible light camera 10 and the infrared thermal imager 11. The electric turntable 904 drives the U-shaped frame 905 to rotate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the visible light camera 10 and the infrared thermal imager 11, so as to achieve efficient and high-precision inspection over a large range.

[0038] Operating according to the above content can complete the use of the UAV carrying device for photovoltaic power station inspection.
