Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bird-proofing equipment, and in particular to a bird-proofing placeholder cap, an installation system, and an installation method for drone installation. Background Art

[0002] Traditional bird-proofing devices mainly include bird-proof baffles, bird-proof covers, bird-proof spikes, placeholder boxes, etc. Among them, bird-proof covers are the successor of bird-proof baffles, which solve the shortcomings of bird-proof baffles such as low strength and difficulty in fastening.

[0003] The tower-specific bird-proofing placeholder can prevent birds from adapting and nesting for a longer period of time. By shielding and sliding, it successfully blocks birds from building nests on the tower, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of bird damage and making it difficult for birds to find a suitable place to stay and nest on the tower.

[0004] Although existing bird-proofing equipment installed using drones generally uses a mechanical structure to separate the bird-proofing equipment from the drone installation system, during the separation process, the mechanical separation mechanism will cause the magnetic installation position to deviate due to the pulling effect of the drone rising or flying away. However, since the placeholder cap needs to be passed horizontally through the tower crossarm when it is installed on the tower, when the placeholder cap is installed on the drone using the existing mechanical separation method, when the placeholder cap is separated from the drone system, the drone system will pull the magnet on the crossarm horizontally due to the lateral movement of the drone system. Since the lateral magnetic attraction of the magnet is much smaller than the vertical magnetic attraction, the pulling effect when the drone flies away from the crossarm will cause the magnetic installation position to deviate. As a result, the existing technology requires power workers to climb the tower to manually install the placeholder cap, which has problems such as high installation difficulty and great safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The present application provides a drone-mounted bird-proof placeholder cap, installation system, and installation method, which are intended to solve many problems in the prior art in which power workers manually install cross-arm placeholder caps on transmission line equipment (transmission towers, transformers, etc.), such as high difficulty and great safety hazards.

[0024] like Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the placeholder cap 100 of the present application being installed in the target installation position 300 is shown as follows: Figure 2 The schematic diagram of using the installation system 200 to install the placeholder cap 100 in the target installation position 300 is shown. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the placeholder cap 100 is installed at the target installation location 300 using the installation system 200 installed on the aircraft 400 .

[0025] In the following embodiments of the present application, the aircraft may be a UAV or a manned aircraft, preferably a UAV. The target location 300 may be a power equipment such as a transformer device or a transmission tower. In the following examples, the target installation location 300 is the end of a crossarm.

[0026] like Figure 3 , specifically illustrating a placeholder cap 100, which includes a cap body 1 and a cap base 2. The cap body 1 has an arched structure and is preferably provided with a plurality of bird-proof spikes 11. The bird-proof spikes 11 and the cap body 1 can effectively prevent birds from resting on and nesting on the placeholder cap 100, thereby preventing damage to the placeholder cap 100 and the transmission tower caused by bird activities, and ensuring the safe operation of power facilities.

[0027] The cap seat 2 is located at the bottom of the cap body 1 and is at the arch seat of the arch structure. The cap seat 2 serves to connect the cap body 1 and the target installation position 300. In this embodiment, the target installation position 300 is the end of the cross arm of the transmission line tower. A first magnetic component 3 is installed on the inner side of the cap seat 2. The first magnetic component 3 is used to magnetically attract the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300, thereby achieving preliminary fixation of the placeholder cap 100 and the target installation position 300 by magnetic attraction. A second magnetic component 4 is installed on the outer side of the cap seat 2. The second magnetic component 4 is used to be magnetically attracted by the installation system 200, so that the installation system 200 can adsorb and transport the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300 for installation.

[0028] Continue to refer to Figure 3Based on the above embodiment, the cap base 2 includes a horizontal plate 21 and a vertical plate 22 that are perpendicular to each other. The horizontal plate 21 extends into the arched cap body 1. In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 3 is mounted on the horizontal plate 21, and / or the second magnetic member 4 is mounted on the vertical plate 22.

[0029] When the first magnetic element 3 is mounted on the horizontal plate 21, during the installation of the placeholder cap 100 at the target installation location 300 (the end of the transmission tower crossarm), the first magnetic element 3 can utilize the large contact area between the horizontal plate 21 and the target installation location 300 to generate a stable magnetic attraction force, ensuring that the placeholder cap 100 is adsorbed to the target installation location 300. For example, in some scenarios where high installation stability of the placeholder cap 100 is required and the installation system 200 can smoothly adsorb and transport the placeholder cap 100, this installation method can be adopted. In this case, the second magnetic element 4 can be installed on the vertical plate 22 or other suitable location according to actual needs.

[0030] If the second magnetic member 4 is mounted on the riser 22, when the mounting system 200 attracts the placeholder cap 100 for transportation, the riser 22 is relatively regular, and when the mounting system 200 approaches the placeholder cap 100, a quick and accurate magnetic connection is established, thereby improving installation efficiency. When the placeholder cap provided by the present application is taken off by the UAV, the mounting system will not pull on the placeholder cap, thereby achieving reliable installation of the placeholder cap.

[0031] Continue to refer to Figure 2 Based on the above embodiment, a hinge 5 is hingedly connected to the cap base 2. The hinge 5 adopts a common hinge structure and is rotatably connected to the cap base 2 via a hinge axis, allowing the hinge 5 to rotate relative to the cap base 2 at a certain angle. The hinge 5 can be driven by a micromotor or pulled by an external force. After the placeholder cap 100 is positioned, the hinge 5 is rotated to magnetically attract the hinge to the target installation position 300, completing the installation of the placeholder cap 100. A third magnetic element 6 is mounted on the hinge 5. The installation position of the third magnetic element 6 can be selected according to actual needs. The material and magnetic strength of the third magnetic element 6 should be selected according to the specific application scenario and magnetic attraction requirements. For example, in some scenarios where high magnetic attraction is required, a permanent magnet with strong magnetism can be selected as the third magnetic element 6. In other scenarios where relatively low magnetic attraction is required but the magnetic attraction state needs to be frequently adjusted, an electromagnet can be selected as the third magnetic element 6 so that the presence or absence of magnetic attraction can be controlled by controlling the on and off of the current.

[0032] Preferably, the hinge shaft of the cap base 2 and the hinge 5 is connected to the drive shaft of the motor 7. The motor 7 can be a micro motor such as a stepper motor or a servo motor. The motor 7 is connected to the hinge shaft through a coupling or other suitable connection method, so that the hinge 5 can be controlled to rotate relative to the cap base 2. In actual applications, the motor 7 can be connected to a control system (such as an integrated controller 220), and the rotation of the hinge 5 can be controlled by inputting corresponding control instructions to the integrated controller 220. For example, when it is necessary to install the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300, the integrated controller 220 can control the motor 7 to drive the hinge 5 to rotate to a suitable angle based on the shape and position information of the target installation position 300, so that the third magnetic component 6 can produce a magnetic attraction with the target installation position 300, thereby completing the installation of the placeholder cap 100.

[0033] Continue to refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 3 includes a permanent magnet, a de-energized electromagnet, or an energized electromagnet, and / or the third magnetic member 6 includes a permanent magnet or a de-energized electromagnet. Specific examples are as follows: Implementation of a permanent magnet as the first magnetic element 3: When a permanent magnet is used as the first magnetic element 3, it offers the advantage of providing a continuous and stable magnetic attraction without the need for an external power source. Once the placeholder cap 100 is installed at the target mounting location 300 (the end of the transmission tower crossarm), the permanent magnet maintains its attraction to the target mounting location 300, ensuring a secure installation of the placeholder cap 100. However, the magnetic attraction of a permanent magnet is relatively fixed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust according to actual installation requirements.

[0034] An embodiment of the first magnetic component 3 employs an energized electromagnet: the energized electromagnet generates magnetism only when energized. Before the placeholder cap 100 is installed, the energized electromagnet is controlled to be in a non-magnetic state. When the placeholder cap 100 reaches the target installation position 300 and needs to be fixed, the position of the placeholder cap 100 at the target installation position 300 is adjusted by controlling the attitude of the aircraft 400. After the position is adjusted, the first magnetic component 3 is energized to generate a magnetic attraction force, which attracts the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300. Then, by rotating the hinge 5, the third magnetic component 6 is able to generate a magnetic attraction with the target installation position 300, and the placeholder cap 100 is attracted to the target installation position 300 using the third magnetic component 6. This type of first magnetic component 3 is suitable for applications where precision is required during the installation process, and facilitates more accurate positioning of the placeholder cap 100.

[0035] The de-energized electromagnet is an embodiment of the first magnetic attraction component 3: the de-energized electromagnet is the opposite of the energized electromagnet. When the power is off, the de-energized electromagnet is magnetic and can generate a magnetic attraction to the target installation position 300. When the power is on, its magnetism disappears. During the actual installation process, the de-energized electromagnet is controlled to be energized so that the first magnetic attraction component 3 does not generate magnetic force. When the installation system 200 transports the placeholder cap 100 to the vicinity of the target installation position 300, after the placeholder cap 100 is adjusted to the position of the target installation position 300, the de-energized electromagnet is controlled to be de-energized so that the first magnetic attraction component 3 generates magnetic force, thereby magnetically attracting the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300. Preferably, by rotating the hinge 5, the third magnetic attraction component 6 can generate a magnetic attraction with the target installation position 300, and the placeholder cap 100 is adsorbed on the target installation position 300 using the third magnetic attraction component 6. By energizing and de-energizing the de-energized electromagnet, the placeholder cap 100 can be positioned. In transmission tower installation scenarios where frequent adjustments to the installation position are required, the de-energized electromagnet can provide a flexible installation method.

[0036] Permanent magnet as implementation method of the third magnetic component 6: If the third magnetic component 6 uses a permanent magnet, after the first magnetic component 3 is adsorbed on the target installation position 300, by controlling the hinge 5 to rotate to the appropriate position, the permanent magnet can continue to provide magnetic attraction to connect and fix the placeholder cap 100 and the target installation position 300.

[0037] An embodiment of a de-energized electromagnet as the third magnetic member 6: When a de-energized electromagnet is used as the third magnetic member 6, the control system controls the power on and off of the de-energized electromagnet when installing the placeholder cap 100, thereby achieving flexible control of the magnetic attraction force. For example, when the placeholder cap 100 is transported to the vicinity of the target installation position 300, after the first magnetic member 3 is adsorbed on the target installation position 300, the hinge 5 is controlled to rotate to a suitable position. When it is necessary to fix the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300, the de-energized electromagnet is de-energized to generate a magnetic attraction force, causing the third magnetic member 6 on the hinge 5 to be magnetically attracted to the target installation position 300, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the placeholder cap 100.

[0038] Preferably, the first magnetic attraction component 3 is a type of a de-energized electromagnet or an energized electromagnet, and the third magnetic attraction component 6 is a type of a permanent magnet or a de-energized electromagnet.

[0039] For example, in a preferred embodiment, the first magnetic element 3 is a de-energized electromagnet, and the third magnetic element 6 is a permanent magnet. Before installing the placeholder cap 100, the de-energized electromagnet is energized to render it non-magnetic, facilitating operation of the placeholder cap 100 by the installation system 200. When the placeholder cap 100 reaches the target installation location 300, the installation position is adjusted by controlling the de-energized electromagnet to be energized or de-energized. Once the installation location is determined, the de-energized electromagnet is de-energized, allowing the first magnetic element 3 to position the placeholder cap 100. At this point, the hinge 5 rotates, causing the third magnetic element 6 (permanent magnet) to generate a magnetic attraction with the target installation location 300, thereby completing the installation of the placeholder cap 100.

[0040] Another preferred method is that the first magnetic component 3 is an energized electromagnet and the third magnetic component 6 is a permanent magnet. Before installation, the energized electromagnet is in a non-magnetic state and the hinge 5 is in an unfolded state, which facilitates the transportation and operation of the placeholder cap 100. When the placeholder cap 100 is transported to the vicinity of the target installation position 300 and the installation position is adjusted and determined, the energized electromagnet of the first magnetic component 3 is energized through the control system, and the first magnetic component 3 is adsorbed to the target installation position 300. At this time, after controlling the hinge 5 to rotate to the appropriate position, the permanent magnet of the third magnetic component 6 is magnetically installed with the target installation position 300.

[0041] By reasonably selecting the types of the first magnetic component 3 and the third magnetic component 6 and their combination, the present application can flexibly adjust the installation and fixing method of the placeholder cap 100 according to different installation scenarios and needs, improve the efficiency, accuracy and stability of the installation, and better meet the actual requirements of power facility installation and maintenance.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , a first connecting line 8 is provided on the placeholder cap, and the first connecting line 8 is provided with an external terminal for establishing an electrical connection with an external power supply or control system. The first connecting line 8 is electrically connected to the motor 7, and the specific connection method can be selected according to the type of motor 7 and the actual structure of the placeholder cap. Preferably, the first connecting line 8 is also electrically connected to at least one of the first magnetic component 3 and the third magnetic component 6. When the first magnetic component 3 is an electromagnet type (such as an energized electromagnet or a de-energized electromagnet), the first connecting line 8 needs to provide it with power or a control signal.

[0043] If the first magnetic component 3 is an energized electromagnet, the first connecting line 8 needs to transmit the current of the external power supply to the energized electromagnet to generate magnetism. When the third magnetic component 6 is an unenergized electromagnet, the first connecting line 8 also needs to establish an electrical connection with it. When the third magnetic component 6 is required to generate a magnetic force, the power is cut off for it through the first connecting line 8. If the third magnetic component 6 is a permanent magnet and does not require electricity to control its magnetism, the first connecting line 8 may not be connected to it. If the first magnetic component 3 and the third magnetic component 6 are both electromagnet types, the first connecting line 8 may adopt a branch structure and be connected to the first magnetic component 3 and the third magnetic component 6 respectively. Suitable wiring terminals or connectors are provided at the branches to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0044] Preferably, the external terminal of the first connecting line 8 is provided with a magnetic component. The function of the magnetic component is to achieve fast and accurate docking through magnetic attraction when connected to the terminal of an external device (such as a power supply, a control system), and to prevent the connection from loosening to a certain extent. In a specific embodiment, the external device is the mounting system 200. The magnetic component can be a permanent magnet. In the external terminal, the permanent magnet can be embedded in the outer shell of the terminal so that it can automatically adsorb with the terminal of the external device when close. For example, the terminal of the external device is also provided with a corresponding metal component or magnetic component. When the external terminal of the placeholder cap is close, the magnetic attraction between the two will quickly align and tightly connect.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The present application also provides a placeholder cap installation system for installing the above-mentioned placeholder cap 100 at the first target installation position 300. The installation system 200 includes a mounting rod, a fourth magnetic component 211, an integrated controller, etc.

[0046] The mounting rod 210 is mounted on the aircraft 400 in a manner that ensures stability and reliability during flight. Mechanical fixing methods, such as using bolts and nuts to securely connect the mounting rod 210 to a specific location on the aircraft 400, may be employed.

[0047] The mounting rod 210 is provided with a plurality of fourth magnetic members 211, which are evenly distributed on one side of the mounting rod 210 close to the placeholder cap to ensure that they can be effectively magnetically connected with the second magnetic member 4 on the placeholder cap. Figure 2 In the embodiment, two mounting rods 210 are provided on the aircraft 400 , and a total of four fourth magnetic elements 211 are provided on the two mounting rods 210 to magnetically attract the placeholder cap 100 to the mounting rods 210 .

[0048] The fourth magnetic element 211 is an electromagnet, which has the advantage of flexibly controlling the presence and strength of the magnetic attraction by controlling the on / off and magnitude of the current. The fourth magnetic element 211 can be either an energized or de-energized electromagnet. For example, when the fourth magnetic element 211 is an energized electromagnet, when the placeholder cap is attached to the mounting rod 210, the fourth magnetic element 211 is energized to generate sufficient magnetic attraction. When the placeholder cap reaches the first target mounting position 300 and needs to be released, the fourth magnetic element 211 is de-energized to eliminate the magnetic attraction. When the fourth magnetic component 211 is selected as a power-off type electromagnet, the fourth magnetic component 211 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic component 4 on the placeholder cap 100 when the power is off, and then the placeholder cap 100 is transported to the target installation position 300 and needs to be released. The fourth magnetic component 211 is energized to eliminate the magnetic attraction of the fourth magnetic component 211, thereby releasing the placeholder cap 100.

[0049] The integrated controller 220 is the core control component of the installation system 200. The integrated controller 220 integrates a control system, a communication module, a power supply module, and the like. The integrated controller 220 is electrically connected to the fourth magnetic component 211. Through the integrated controller 220, the timing of powering on and off the fourth magnetic component 211, as well as the magnitude of the current, can be controlled, thereby achieving precise regulation of the magnetic attraction force. The integrated controller is also electrically connected to a second connecting line 230, the external terminal of the second connecting line 230 being used to connect to the external terminal of the first connecting line 8, so that the integrated controller 220 of the installation system 200 can electrically communicate with the placeholder cap 100, thereby achieving control of components such as the motor 7, the first magnetic component 3, and the third magnetic component 6 on the placeholder cap. For example, the integrated controller 220 can send a control signal to the motor 7 on the placeholder cap to drive the motor 7 to rotate and adjust the angle of the hinge 5. It can also control the power on and off of the first magnetic component 3 and the third magnetic component 6 to achieve accurate installation and fixation of the placeholder cap in the first target installation position 300. Preferably, the external terminal of the second connecting line 230 is provided with a magnetic component. The function of this magnetic component is to achieve rapid and accurate docking through magnetic attraction when connected to the external terminal of the first connecting line 8, and to prevent the connection from loosening to a certain extent. The magnetic component can be a permanent magnet. The permanent magnet can be embedded in the outer shell of the terminal of the second connecting line 230 so that it can automatically attract the external terminal of the first connecting line 8 when close to each other.

[0050] The integrated controller 220 is equipped with a remote control device (not shown) that utilizes wireless communication modules such as NB-IoT, LoRa, and 4G / 5G. The remote control device includes a handheld remote control and / or a ground control terminal. The handheld remote control facilitates close-range operation of the aircraft 400 by the operator. It features multiple function buttons, such as an attachment / release button, motor control buttons, and magnetic control buttons. The operator can send control commands to the integrated controller by pressing these buttons. The ground control terminal is primarily used to monitor and control the aircraft 400, facilitating control and display of information such as the aircraft's position, attitude, and the status of the placeholder cap.

[0051] In summary of the above preferred embodiment of the placeholder cap 100, the present application also provides a method for installing the above placeholder cap 100 using the above placeholder cap installation system 200. The preferred placeholder cap 100 includes a cap body 1, a cap base 2, a first magnetic component 3, a second magnetic component 4, a hinge 5, a third magnetic component 6, a motor 7, and a first connecting line 8. The first magnetic component 3 is an energized electromagnet, the third magnetic component 6 is a permanent magnet, and the fourth magnetic component 211 on the installation system 200 is a de-energized electromagnet. The installation method includes: Equipment inspection and debugging: Before starting to install the placeholder cap 100, the operator needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the placeholder cap installation system 200. First, check the various performance indicators of the aircraft 400, including whether the aircraft's power system, navigation system, communication system, etc. are working properly. Then check the fourth magnetic part 211 on the mounting rod 210 to confirm that its electromagnet function is normal. At the same time, check the second connecting line 220. For the placeholder cap 100, check its appearance and whether key components such as the first magnetic part 3, the second magnetic part 4, the third magnetic part 6 and the motor 7 are functioning properly. Check whether the connecting end of the first connecting line 8 has a good electrical connection.

[0052] The placeholder cap is installed in the mounting system by placing the placeholder cap 100 close to the mounting rod 210, aligning the second magnetic component 4 with the fourth magnetic component 211. The integrated controller then de-energizes the fourth magnetic component 211, generating a magnetic attraction that attracts the placeholder cap 100 to the mounting rod 210. Once the placeholder cap 100 is stably attached to the mounting rod 210, the first connecting line 8 and the second connecting line 220 are connected. After the connection is complete, a test signal is sent through the integrated controller to check whether the electrical connection between the first connecting line 8 and the second connecting line 220 is normal, ensuring effective control of the motor 7, first magnetic component 3, third magnetic component 6, and other components on the placeholder cap 100.

[0053] Flight process control: start the aircraft 400 and fly to the target installation position 300 according to the planned flight path.

[0054] Placement of the placeholder cap: When the aircraft 400 flies to the vicinity of the target installation position 300, the flight attitude of the aircraft 400 is controlled so that the placeholder cap 100 is accurately aligned with the target installation position 300.

[0055] Placeholder Cap Positioning: After placeholder cap 100 is placed on target installation location 300 and adjusted, the integrated controller energizes first magnetic element 3 to generate magnetic attraction. First magnetic element 3 attracts the corresponding magnetic component on target installation location 300, achieving preliminary positioning of placeholder cap 100.

[0056] Hinge Rotation and Magnetic Fixation: The integrated controller sends a control signal to the motor 7 on the placeholder cap 100 via the second connecting line 220 and the first connecting line 8, controlling the motor 7 to rotate the hinge 5, gradually rotating the hinge 5 to the appropriate position of the target installation position 300. When the hinge 5 rotates to the target installation position 300, the third magnetic element 6 attracts the magnet on the target installation position 300, fixing the placeholder cap 100 to the target installation position 300.

[0057] Installation Completion and Departure: After confirming that the placeholder cap 100 is securely attached to the target installation location 300, the integrated controller disconnects the second magnetic element 4 from the fourth magnetic element 211, severing the magnetic attraction between them. Simultaneously, the first connecting line 8 is disconnected from the second connecting line 220, severing the electrical connection. After completing these operations, the aircraft 400 is controlled to depart from the target installation location 300.

[0058] Through the above detailed method steps, the present application can use the placeholder cap installation system 200 to efficiently, accurately and safely complete the installation of the placeholder cap 100, which is suitable for various complex installation scenarios.
