Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone nesting technology, and in particular to a drone nesting structure for photovoltaic power station inspection. Background Technology

[0002] In the application scenario of drone nests for photovoltaic power station inspections, the nests are mostly deployed in open outdoor areas, facing complex environmental impacts such as sandstorms, gusts of wind, and temperature fluctuations. The drones are easily affected by wind during landing, leading to alignment deviations and unstable charging circuit conduction. Simultaneously, high concentrations of sand and dust in the photovoltaic power station environment can easily infiltrate the charging interface and charging base surface through gaps in the nest door or during drone takeoff and landing, forming a covering layer. This not only further exacerbates alignment difficulties but also increases interface contact resistance, causing reduced charging efficiency, localized overheating, and in severe cases, even charging system malfunctions, affecting the continuity of drone inspection missions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of misalignment between the drone charging interface and the drone nest charging base after recovery, or the interface being covered by sand and dust, and to provide a drone nest structure for photovoltaic power station inspection.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a drone nest structure for photovoltaic power station inspection, including: a base plate, wherein the outer surface of the base plate is provided with limit holes, and the overall nest structure is fixed by installing the base plate on a new energy vehicle; The cell housing has a photovoltaic charging component fixedly connected to its top, an entry unit is provided on the outer surface of the cell housing, a charging unit is provided on the inner wall of the cell housing, and a rear disassembly plate is fixedly connected to the side of the cell housing away from the entry unit. The entry unit includes an entry chamber, a high-pressure fan is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the entry chamber, an air outlet is fixedly connected to the side of the high-pressure fan facing the inside of the entry chamber, a dust collection plate is fixedly connected to the side of the entry chamber away from the high-pressure fan, and symmetrical closed notches are provided at the bottom of the entry chamber.

[0005] Furthermore, the outer surface of the entry chamber is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the nest shell, and the top of the drooping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the entry chamber.

[0006] Furthermore, the isolation plate is adapted to the closed notch, and when the isolation plate moves up into the entry chamber, the entry chamber is in a closed state.

[0007] Furthermore, the charging unit includes a first motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating carrier, a charging cavity is provided on the top of the rotating carrier, a second telescopic rod is fixed to the outer surface of the charging cavity, a charging plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second telescopic rod, a charging contact point is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the charging plate, an energy storage battery is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating carrier, a junction plate is fixedly connected to the top of the energy storage battery, and a transmission cable is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the junction plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the base of the first motor is fixedly connected to the top of the housing shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the transmission cable away from the power connector is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the charging board.

[0010] Furthermore, the charging unit also includes an extension assembly for carrying the drone into the charging chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the guide post is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the charging cavity, the base of the built-in motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the charging cavity, and the transmission gear meshes with the rack.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the drone nest structure for photovoltaic power station inspection provided by this invention are as follows: (1) By setting up an entry chamber, the drone is blown by a high-pressure fan before entering the nest for charging, so that the weeds and dust attached to it are removed, thus avoiding the dust from obstructing the normal contact between the drone's charging contacts and the charging contacts on the charging board. (2) By setting up an entry compartment, the drone will not be affected by external wind during the process of entering the charging unit, thus avoiding the drone's entry position shifting due to strong winds. It also prevents birds and plastic film from getting caught in the drone's propellers or getting stuck between the nest door and the fuselage, which could lead to mechanical jamming or even damage to components. (3) By setting a rotatable carrier, when the drone is stuck in the charging chamber after charging or cannot take off for other reasons, the charging chamber can be rotated to face the rear disassembly plate. The rear disassembly plate can be removed for easy manual handling or maintenance of the drone. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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 further embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a base plate 1, with limiting holes 2 provided on the outer surface of the base plate 1. The overall solar cell structure is fixed by installing the base plate 1 on the new energy vehicle. Through the above installation, the overall solar cell structure can be moved, which facilitates the inspection of photovoltaic power stations in different areas. The nest shell 3 has a photovoltaic charging component 6 fixedly connected to its top. An entry unit 5 is provided on the outer surface of the nest shell 3. A charging unit 4 is provided on the inner wall of the nest shell 3. A rear disassembly plate is fixedly connected to the side of the nest shell 3 away from the entry unit 5. When the drone is retrieved in this invention, the drone first passes through the entry unit 5, where dust and impurities are removed from its surface. Then it enters the charging unit 4 for charging, where the photovoltaic charging component 6 absorbs solar energy to replenish the overall structure.

[0019] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the entry unit 5 includes an entry chamber 51. A high-pressure fan 52 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the entry chamber 51. An air outlet 55 is fixedly connected to the side of the high-pressure fan 52 facing the inside of the entry chamber 51. A dust collection plate 54 is fixedly connected to the side of the entry chamber 51 away from the high-pressure fan 52. A closed notch 53 is symmetrically provided at the bottom of the entry chamber 51. The entry unit 5 also includes a drooping plate 56. A first telescopic rod 57 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drooping plate 56. A first support plate 58 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic rod 57. An isolation plate 59 is symmetrically arranged on the top of the first support plate 58. A vision sensor 510 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the isolation plate 59 away from the outer shell 3.

[0020] After the drone completes its inspection, it will fly to the entrance of the entry chamber 51. Then, the visual sensor 510 will detect the drone's position. Once the position is stable, the first telescopic rod 57 will retract downwards and pull the isolation plate 59 away from the closed gap 53, allowing the drone to enter the entry chamber 51. After the drone enters the entry chamber 51, the first telescopic rod 57 will extend upwards again, closing the entry chamber 51. At this time, the high-pressure fan 52 will blow strong air from the air outlet 55, blowing the dust and impurities adhering to the drone into the dust collection plate 54, preventing dust from obstructing the normal contact between the drone's charging contacts and the charging contacts on the charging plate 45.

[0021] The outer surface of the entry chamber 51 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the machine nest shell 3, and the top of the drooping plate 56 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the entry chamber 51.

[0022] The isolation plate 59 is adapted to the closed notch 53. When the isolation plate 59 moves upward into the entry chamber 51, the entry chamber 51 is in a closed state.

[0023] like Figures 7-8 As shown, the charging unit 4 includes a first motor 41, the output end of the first motor 41 is fixedly connected to a rotating carrier 42, the top of the rotating carrier 42 is provided with a charging cavity 43, the outer surface of the charging cavity 43 is fixed with a second telescopic rod 44, the output end of the second telescopic rod 44 is fixedly connected to a charging plate 45, the outer surface of the charging plate 45 is fixedly connected with a charging contact point, the bottom of the rotating carrier 42 is also fixedly connected to an energy storage battery 47, the top of the energy storage battery 47 is fixedly connected to a power receiving plate 48, and the outer surface of the power receiving plate 48 is fixedly connected to a transmission cable 410.

[0024] The base of the first motor 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 3.

[0025] The end of the transmission cable 410 away from the power supply board 48 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the charging board 45.

[0026] The charging unit 4 also includes an extension component 49 for carrying the drone into the charging chamber 43.

[0027] like Figure 9 As shown, the extension assembly 49 includes a guide post 491, a holding plate 492 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide post 491, and a rack 493 is provided on the outer surface of the holding plate 492.

[0028] The extension assembly 49 also includes a built-in motor 494, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 495.

[0029] One end of the guide post 491 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the charging cavity 43, the base of the built-in motor 494 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the charging cavity 43, and the transmission gear 495 meshes with the rack 493.

[0030] After removing dust and impurities from the drone, the first telescopic rod 57 returns to its original position. The built-in motor 494 drives the transmission gear 495 to rotate, causing the container plate 492 to move horizontally on the guide post 491 and enter the bottom of the drone. Then, the built-in motor 494 drives the transmission gear 495 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the container plate 492 and the drone into the charging chamber 43. The second telescopic rod 44 extends and makes the charging contact point 46 on the charging plate 45 fit with the charging contact point 46 on the bottom of the drone, thereby charging the drone.

[0031] The working process of the drone nest structure for photovoltaic power station inspection provided by this invention: After the drone completes its inspection, it will fly to the entrance of the entry chamber 51. The visual sensor 510 will then detect the drone's position. Once the position is stable, the first telescopic rod 57 will retract downwards, causing the isolation plate 59 to leave through the closed opening 53, allowing the drone to enter the entry chamber 51. After the drone enters the entry chamber 51, the first telescopic rod 57 will extend upwards again, sealing the entry chamber 51. At this point, the high-pressure fan 52 will blow strong air from the outlet 55, blowing dust and impurities adhering to the drone into the dust collection plate 54. Inside, after removing dust and impurities from the drone, the first telescopic rod 57 resets, and the built-in motor 494 drives the transmission gear 495 to rotate, causing the holding plate 492 to move horizontally on the guide post 491 and enter the bottom of the drone. Then, the built-in motor 494 drives the transmission gear 495 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the holding plate 492 and the drone into the charging chamber 43. The second telescopic rod 44 extends and makes the charging contact point 46 on the charging plate 45 fit with the charging contact point 46 on the bottom of the drone, thereby realizing the charging of the drone.
