Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] This invention provides the following technical solutions: Example 1
[0021] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 7An inspection drone with a lighting device includes a main body 1. Multiple mounting beams 2 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the main body 1. A support frame 4 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the main body 1. Lighting units 5 are arranged on the outer side of the mounting beams 2. Propellers 3 are arranged on the upper side of the mounting beams 2. The lighting unit 5 includes a mounting cylinder 51, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting beams 2. Two base blocks 52 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting cylinder 51. An adjusting rod 53 is rotatably connected between the two base blocks 52. An adjusting block 54 is fixedly connected to the middle of the adjusting rod 53. A mounting plate 55 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the adjusting block 54. A fixing plate 57 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 55. The front side of the 7 has a mounting slot 58, and the inner side of the mounting slot 58 is fixedly connected to the lighting module 59. The outer side of the mounting plate 55 is provided with a protective component 56, which is used to protect the lighting module 59. The outer side of the base block 52 is fixedly connected to the motor 510. When the drone is running, the lighting modules 59 on both sides provide light source for the drone. When lighting is applied, the motor 510 is started, and the motor 510 drives the adjusting rod 53 to rotate. The adjusting rod 53 drives the adjusting block 54 to rotate. The adjusting block 54 drives the mounting plate 55 to rotate. The mounting plate 55 drives the fixing plate 57 to rotate. The fixing plate 57 drives the lighting module 59 to rotate, which facilitates the adjustment of the lighting angle.
[0022] The protective assembly 56 includes a first fixing ring 561, which is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 55. A base frame 5614 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 57, and a second fixing ring 562 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base frame 5614. Guide grooves 5612 are provided on the outer sides of both the first fixing ring 561 and the second fixing ring 562. Two guide blocks 5613 are slidably connected to the inner side of the guide grooves 5612. Protective plates 563 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two guide blocks 5613. Fixing blocks 564 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two protective plates 563. Inclined plates 565 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the two fixing blocks 564. A rotating block 566 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the inclined plate 565. A control block 567 is fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating block 566. A sliding groove 569 is provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 55, and a slider 5610 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 569. The slider 5610 is fixedly connected to the control block 567, and the adjusting block 54 is fixedly connected to the control block 567 by an electric push rod 568. The protective plates 563 on both sides are arc-shaped, the inclined plates 565 on both sides are symmetrically arranged, and the base frame 5614 is cross-shaped. When the lighting module 59 is not in use, the electric push rod 568 is controlled, which drives the control block 567 to move backward. The control block 567 drives the inclined plate 565 to rotate, and the inclined plate 565 drives the fixed block 564 to rotate around the guide groove 5612. The fixed block 564 drives the protective plate 563 to rotate. Because the inclined plates 565 on both sides are symmetrically distributed, the protective plates 563 on both sides are separated from each other. The protective plates 563 on both sides move to the front of the lighting module 59 to facilitate the shielding and protection of the lighting module 59. Because the protective plate 563 is arc-shaped, wind resistance is reduced.
[0023] Two stabilizing blocks 5615 are fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the mounting groove 58. A rotating rod 5616 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the stabilizing blocks 5615. A winding roller 5617 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating rod 5616. A protective cloth 5618 is wrapped around the outer side of the winding roller 5617. A counterweight plate 5619 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the protective cloth 5618. A control roller 5620 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 5616. An elastic rope 5621 is wrapped around the outer side of the control roller 5620. Rectangular holes are opened on the outer side of the fixing plate 57 and the mounting plate 55. A side plate 5611 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the control block 567. The side plate 5611 is fixedly connected to the elastic rope 5621. A guide wheel 5622 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 55. A top cover 5630 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 55. The inner side of the mounting groove 58 is fixedly connected to... A vertical pole 5629 is attached, which is slidably connected to a counterweight plate 5619. A magnetic plate 511 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the mounting groove 58. The counterweight plate 5619 is made of metal. A control block 567 drives the side plate 5611 to move, which in turn drives the elastic rope 5621 to move. This causes the elastic rope 5621 to drive the control roller 5620 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 5616 to rotate. The rotating rod 5616 then drives the take-up roller 5617 to rotate, causing the protective cloth 5618 to unfold. The protective cloth 5618 causes the counterweight plate 5619 to descend, and the counterweight plate 5619 tightens the protective cloth 5618, making it easier for the protective cloth 5618 to be positioned in front of the lighting module 59, further improving the protective effect. The guide wheel 5622 is located below the elastic rope 5621, which facilitates the guidance of the elastic rope 5621. Example 2

The mounting plate 55 drives the fixing plate 57 to rotate. The fixing plate 57 drives the lighting module 59 to rotate, which facilitates the adjustment of the lighting angle.
[0025] The protective component 56 includes a first fixing ring 561, which is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 55. A base frame 5614 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the mounting plate 57, and a second fixing ring 562 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base frame 5614. Guide grooves 5612 are provided on the outer sides of both the first fixing ring 561 and the second fixing ring 562. Two guide blocks 5613 are slidably connected to the inner side of the guide grooves 5612. Protective plates 563 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both guide blocks 5613. Fixing blocks 564 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both protective plates 563. Inclined plates 565 are rotatably connected to the upper side of both fixing blocks 564.

A sliding groove 569 is provided on the upper side of the mounting plate 55.
[0026] Two lifting slots 5623 are provided on the front side of the fixed plate 57. Lifting blocks 5624 are slidably connected to the inner sides of both lifting slots 5623. A scraper 5625 is fixedly connected to the front side of each lifting block 5624. A screw 5628 is rotatably connected to the inner side of one of the lifting slots 5623.

[0027] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0028] During operation, the inspection drone provides illumination through two lighting modules 59. When the lighting modules 59 are not needed, the control electric push rod 568 moves the control block 567, which in turn rotates the inclined plate 565. The inclined plate 565 then rotates the fixing block 564, which in turn rotates the protective plates 563. This causes the protective plates 563 on both sides to rotate in front of the lighting modules 59, facilitating their protection. Simultaneously, the control block 567 moves the side plate 5611, which in turn moves the elastic rope 5621. The elastic rope 5621 then rotates the control roller 5620, which in turn rotates the rotating rod 5620. Rotating rod 5616 drives the winding roller 5617 to rotate, which in turn causes the protective cloth 5618 to unfold. Under the action of counterweight plate 5619, the protective cloth 5618 is tightened, further protecting the lighting module 59. The counterweight plate 5619 is attracted by the magnetic plate 511 at the bottom. At the same time, rotating rod 5616 drives bevel gear 1 5626 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear 2 5627 to rotate. Bevel gear 2 5627 drives screw 5628 to rotate, which in turn drives lifting block 5624 to descend. Lifting block 5624 drives scraper 5625 to descend, allowing scraper 5625 to clean the dust on the surface of the lampshade.
