[0002] The internal channel and maintenance environment of a fusion reactor are extremely narrow, and cannot provide relatively suitable external conditions for the inspection work of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle cannot realize complete internal inspection of the nuclear fusion reactor through self-flight and artificial scheduling. The internal and external connecting channel of the nuclear fusion reactor is long and narrow, and the internal annular platform for parking the unmanned aerial vehicle is narrow, which cannot provide a reliable environment for the unmanned aerial vehicle transportation, takeoff and landing. In order to prevent the internal damage of the channel caused by the unmanned aerial vehicle entering the fusion reactor through flight, it is necessary to design an unmanned aerial vehicle transportation platform taking the transportation of the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle as the first index, assisting flight and providing a third visual angle as auxiliary functions, ensuring the normal operation of the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle and the transportation system, and reducing the economic and manpower loss caused by the shutdown of the fusion reactor.

[0019] Figure 11 Schematic diagram of carbon beam fixing frame. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. To achieve the above objectives, this invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0021] like Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the installation location of an internal drone transport platform within a fusion reactor, according to the present invention. The transport platform transports the double-layered clamp 1 and the drone into the fusion reactor from the reactor's access point. The transport platform releases the cable via the rotation of the cable reel 2, supporting the drone's takeoff. After takeoff, the drone performs a designated inspection task, maintaining communication and power connection with the transport platform via the cable. Upon completion of the inspection task, the cable reel 2 retracts the cable, and the transport platform retreats into the access channel, completing the entire workflow. This design makes the platform's operation inside the fusion reactor more efficient and safer, effectively improving the execution efficiency and reliability of drone inspection tasks.

[0022] The present invention provides a fusion reactor internal drone transport platform as follows: Figure 2 As shown. The system includes a double-layer clamping plate 1, a cable reel 2, a double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3, a central fixing frame 4, a base fixing bridge 5, an inner core envelope shell 6, a motor valve 7, a carbon beam fixing frame 8, and a drive unit 9. The double-layer clamping plate 1 is used to support the take-off and landing of the UAV. The central part of the double-layer clamping plate 1 is used to place the cable reel 2. The cable reel 2 releases the cable through its rotation function, supporting the UAV's take-off. The double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3 serves as the load-bearing bridge for the movement of the drive unit. The central fixing frame 4 is located in the middle of the double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3, and the base fixing bridge 5 is located at both ends of the double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3. The central fixing frame 4 and the base fixing bridge 5 provide stable support for the double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3. The inner core envelope shell 6 is used to install the envelope circuit and circuit components to shield the influence of the external fusion reactor environment. The motor valve 7 fixes the motor to prevent it from falling off. The carbon beam fixing frame 8 is used to fix the double-beam carbon nanotube guide rail 3 so that they are parallel to each other. The drive unit 9 is equipped with a rotatable motor that drives the UAV and cable reel 2 on the double-layer clamping plate 1 to move. The inner core envelope shell 6, the motor valve 7, and the carbon beam fixing frame 8 are all located at the rear end of the platform and are connected by screws and pins.

[0023] The double-beam carbon tube guide rail 3 is a supporting structure, which adopts two carbon fiber tubes with a length of 2 meters and an outer diameter of 22 millimeters. The carbon fiber tube has excellent strength and lightweight characteristics, and can effectively support various equipment on the platform. The main task of the platform is to carry the double-layered clamping plate 1, the winding reel 2, the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle and other necessary auxiliary equipment. In order to ensure the structural stability of the platform, five groups of through holes are formed on the carbon fiber tube, which are used to install the central fixed plate frame 4 and the two side base fixed bridges 5. These fixed plate parts are designed for convenience and stability, and each fixed plate part has a hole position, which is convenient for fixing the platform to the rear plate, and ensures the stability and safety of the platform during use.

[0024] The double-layered clamping plate 1 on the transportation platform is shown in Figure 2 The double-layered clamping plate 1 realizes the physical isolation of the landing area of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the fixed area of the winding reel, thereby avoiding mutual interference and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. The central part of the double-layered clamping plate 1 is used to place the winding reel and its control system, and the design uses screws through the hole positions between the clamping plates to firmly fix the winding reel. The double-layered clamping plate 1 is connected by four aluminum columns and screws, which ensures that the clamping plate can effectively maintain stability when the unmanned aerial vehicle is parked, and avoids affecting the accuracy and reliability of the equipment due to vibration or looseness. The design of the double-layered clamping plate 1 also includes several through holes, each with a radius of 3 centimeters, which aims to reduce the ground effect aerodynamic interference that may occur when the unmanned aerial vehicle lands, thereby ensuring the safety of the unmanned aerial vehicle landing. In addition, considering the take-off requirements of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the design ensures that sufficient power is provided to meet the needs of the smooth take-off of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The lower plate of the double-layered clamping plate 1 is connected to the drive unit 9 on the transportation platform by screws, and the drive motor on the drive unit 9 is used to move and work on the double-beam carbon tube guide rail 3. One of the auxiliary functions of the transportation platform is to provide power and signal transmission capability for the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle. In actual application, due to the size and load limitations, the inspection unmanned aerial vehicle cannot carry too long a cable for internal inspection of the fusion reactor. Therefore, the winding reel between the double-layered clamping plate 1 serves as a cable management device, which has a rotating DC motor installed inside, which drives rotation to release and recover the cable fixed inside the winding reel. When the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off and lands, the winding reel will automatically release or recover the cable as needed, ensuring that the unmanned aerial vehicle can obtain the required power and signal support when performing tasks, while avoiding cable entanglement or hindering the flight operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0025] As Figure 3As shown, the driving unit 9 of the transport platform has a clamping plate mounting plate for mounting the double-layer clamping plate 1. The driving unit 9 is limited on the double-beam carbon tube by a rotating cam 9-2, and has only a single direction of freedom. The driving unit 9 drives the rotating cam 9-2 by a 9-3 rotating motor to drive the unit to move along the specific track of the double-beam carbon tube guide rail 3, thereby realizing the smooth translation of the platform. This design utilizes the cooperative work of four rotating cams 9-2, not only improves the load capacity of the platform, but also effectively shares the pressure of the platform, ensuring that the UAV can work stably and safely during transportation. The upper plate of the platform is provided with holes of various sizes, and the flexible aperture design can meet the installation requirements of different types of mobile platforms and double-layer clamping plates, ensuring the compatibility and reliability of the entire transportation system. This structural design not only improves the stability of the platform, but also provides higher efficiency and safety for UAV transportation operations.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4 With Figure 5 The motor plug valve 7 and the motor are shown in the schematic diagram. The motor plug valve 7 closely cooperates with the motor, mainly by adjusting the rotating speed of the motor drive, thereby realizing the precise control of the mechanical equipment. The plug valve 7 controls the opening and closing of the valve through the driving signal of the motor, and controls the running state of the motor. The assembled motor plug valve can quickly respond to the control command, realize the efficient operation of the motor under different working conditions, and optimize the performance of the entire system, improve the control precision, response speed and energy efficiency.

[0027] As shown in Figure 6 With Figure 7 The base fixed bridge 5 and the central fixed frame 4 are shown in the schematic diagram. The base fixed bridge 5 and the central fixed frame 4 usually play the role of supporting and stabilizing the structure in the system. The base fixed bridge 5 is used to provide the basic support of the entire equipment. It is connected with the ground or platform to ensure the stability of the equipment, avoid the equipment from shaking or shifting during operation, and thus maintain the accuracy and safety of the equipment. The central fixed frame 4 is located in the core part of the equipment, and plays the role of fixing and aligning various components, ensuring the correct connection and relative position between the parts of the equipment. The assembled base fixed bridge and central fixed frame work together to make the entire equipment structure more stable, reduce vibration, and improve the reliability and operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0028] Figure 8This is the upper layer of the double-layered landing pad for drones, designed to provide a smooth and safe landing platform. The landing pad possesses a certain degree of wear resistance and pressure resistance, effectively protecting the drone from uneven ground, foreign objects, or environmental factors during landing. It ensures the drone remains stable during landing, preventing damage to the aircraft's bottom or other critical components. Furthermore, the landing pad helps the drone land accurately, reducing drift caused by wind or other external factors. This is of great significance for the rapid deployment and recovery of drones, extending equipment lifespan, and improving work efficiency.

[0029] Figure 9 The double-beam carbon fiber guide rail 3 provides stable support and precise guidance for mechanical equipment. Due to the excellent strength and rigidity of carbon fiber, it effectively reduces vibration and deformation during operation, improving system stability and accuracy. The double-beam design offers stronger load-bearing capacity and more even load distribution, suitable for applications with heavy loads or high precision requirements. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber also reduces the overall weight of the equipment, decreasing energy consumption and improving work efficiency.

[0030] Figure 10 and Figure 11 The system consists of an inner core enclosure 6 and a carbon beam support 8. The inner core enclosure 6 houses electronic components and circuitry. Its primary function is to protect and secure internal components. It is typically made of high-strength materials, capable of resisting external impacts, pressure, and environmental factors. The inner core enclosure 6 provides a protective shell for the internal precision components, preventing damage from dust, moisture, vibration, etc. It also aids in thermal management, ensuring internal components operate at appropriate temperatures. By encasing and securing internal components, the inner core enclosure 6 improves the overall reliability and stability of the equipment. The carbon beam support 8 is secured to the base bridge 5 using 3 / 8 inch screws. The carbon beam support 8 utilizes the lightweight and high-strength properties of carbon fiber to provide a robust and efficient structural support. Carbon fiber possesses extremely high rigidity and resistance to deformation, ensuring the equipment maintains precision and stability during operation. The carbon beam support is commonly used to support precision components or serve as a critical connection, ensuring that the relative positions and movement trajectories of components do not deviate under dynamic operating conditions. Its lightweight design allows for effective control of the overall system weight, thereby improving overall motion efficiency.
