Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone storage technology, specifically to an intelligent maintenance and repair bay for factory inspection drones. Background Technology
[0002] Factory inspection drones are typically placed in drone maintenance bays for charging and maintenance. Drones generally use lithium-ion batteries, and some maintenance bays utilize wireless charging technology to charge drones, which reduces the difficulty of charging them. Drones generate heat during charging, and the heat dissipation rate is slow inside the bay, which can easily lead to the risk of overheating.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing drone storage facilities are:
[0004] Prior art CN115929094B discloses a drone hangar, which includes: a base plate; side plates arranged circumferentially along the base plate and extending away from the base plate, the base plate and the side plates together forming a parking compartment with an opening; and an exhaust mechanism disposed on the side plates, capable of connecting the parking compartment with the external environment, so as to allow airflow generated in the parking compartment when the drone is parked to circulate with the external environment. This invention provides a drone hangar that solves the technical problem that existing drone hangars easily cause drones to tip over during landing and parking.
[0005] When storing drones using the aforementioned technology, if the drones generate a large amount of heat, simply opening the vent caps for ventilation and heat dissipation is too slow and cannot cool the drones down. This can easily cause burns to the internal components of the hangar. Therefore, a smart maintenance and repair bay for factory inspection drones is needed to solve this problem, which can quickly cool down burning drones inside the drone hangar and prevent harmful substances from polluting the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, a purification chamber is installed on the left side of the chamber body.

The solenoid valve three is electrically connected to the controller. A grid plate two is installed inside the purification chamber, and activated carbon is installed on top of the grid plate two.

[0015] Preferably, an air supply box is installed on the front of the purification box, an air outlet pipe is installed on the left output end of the air supply box, and the output end of the air outlet pipe is connected to the front input end of the air inlet pipe one.

The bottom of the air supply pipe five penetrates the top inner wall of multiple cavities. Multiple air inlet pipes two are installed on the back output end of the air supply pipe five.

A metal flexible hose is installed at the input end of the solenoid valve four, and one end of the metal flexible hose is connected to the top of the heat insulation plate one.
[0016] Preferably, the method of using the intelligent maintenance bay for the factory inspection drone is as follows:
[0017] S1. The sealing plate rotates forward to expose the cavity, then the heat insulation plate moves forward, and then the drone lands on the heat insulation plate. Then the heat insulation plate moves the drone backward into the cavity, and then the sealing plate rotates to block the cavity.
[0018] S2. The camera captures images of the drone, then the heat insulation plate moves to both sides into the support frame, and then the wireless charger wirelessly charges the drone.
[0019] S3. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the cavity has risen to the set value M, the fan is turned on, and then the solenoid valve inside the cavity is opened, allowing air to enter the cavity from the air intake box, air supply pipe one, and air supply pipe two. At the same time, the hot air inside the cavity is discharged from the mesh holes.
[0020] S4. When temperature sensor 1 detects that the internal temperature of the cavity has risen to the set value N, or when smoke sensor detects smoke, the baffle moves down to block the mesh holes to prevent harmful gases from escaping. Then, solenoid valve 2 opens to allow nitrogen from the liquid nitrogen cylinder to flow into the cavity for cooling. At the same time, solenoid valve 4 in the cavity opens, and fan 2 starts to draw the gas in the cavity into the purification chamber. In the purification chamber, sodium carbonate solution absorbs HF produced by the combustion of the drone's lithium-ion battery, then activated carbon absorbs formaldehyde, and then the catalyst catalyzes the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. The treated gas is finally discharged from the exhaust pipe.
[0021] Preferably, step S4 further includes the following steps:
[0022] S41. The heating rod heats the catalyst, so that the catalyst catalyzes the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide at an appropriate temperature.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] 1. When the temperature sensor of this invention detects that the internal temperature of the cavity has risen to a set value, the fan is turned on, and then the solenoid valve inside the cavity is opened, allowing air to enter the cavity from the air intake box, air supply pipe one, and air supply pipe two. At the same time, the hot air inside the cavity is discharged from the mesh holes, which can realize heat dissipation when the drone is charging, and can absorb the harmful gases produced by the combustion of lithium-ion batteries through the purification box when the drone is burning.
[0025] 2. In this invention, when a lithium-ion battery in a drone is burning, liquid nitrogen from inside the liquid nitrogen cylinder enters the cavity, which can rapidly cool the cavity, thereby reducing the damage to the internal components caused by the combustion.
[0026] 3. This invention introduces the gas generated by the combustion of the drone's lithium-ion battery into the purification chamber, and then uses sodium carbonate solution, activated carbon, and a catalyst to sequentially absorb various harmful gases in the gas in stages. This effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases, reduces environmental pollution, and minimizes harm to workers.
[0027] 4. This invention utilizes an integrated timing module within the controller. When the temperature sensor detects that the internal temperature of the cavity has risen to the set value N, or when the smoke sensor detects smoke inside the cavity and the temperature remains above the set value for an extended period without decreasing, the controller activates a motor to rotate the sealing plate forward, exposing the cavity. Then, it activates a hydraulic cylinder to move a heat insulation plate inward, blocking the wireless charger. Subsequently, the controller activates a hydraulic cylinder to move a heat insulation plate forward, thereby moving the drone out of the cavity and allowing it to burn outside the cavity, preventing damage to the internal components.

The air blowing mechanism includes an air supply pipe 27 and a solenoid valve 28. The input end of the air supply pipe 27 is connected to the front output end of the air supply pipe 26, and one end of the air supply pipe 27 penetrates the inner wall of the back of the cavity 5. The output end of the air supply pipe 27 is equipped with the solenoid valve 28, which is electrically connected to the controller 4. A mesh plate 25 is installed through the front of the air intake box 23. A wireless charger 6 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the cavity 5.

A through slot 11 is opened through the top of the heat insulation plate 9. Multiple hydraulic cylinders 12 are installed on the inner wall of the top of the support frame 10. The hydraulic cylinders 12 are electrically connected to the controller 4. A heat insulation plate 13 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12.

Multiple hydraulic cylinders 14 are symmetrically installed on the inner walls of both sides of cavity 5 and are electrically connected to controller 4. A heat insulation plate 15 is installed at the output end of hydraulic cylinder 14.
[0042] Furthermore, when the drone is placed above the heat insulation plate 9 inside the cavity 5, the lighting 53 illuminates the inside of the cavity 5, the camera 18 captures an image of the drone, and transmits the image information to the controller 4 for display, making it convenient for people to observe the drone. Then, the controller 4 controls the hydraulic cylinder 14 to work, driving the heat insulation plate 15 to move towards the drone, thereby pushing the drone's position towards the center. At the same time, it controls the hydraulic cylinder 12 to start, driving the heat insulation plate 13 to move to both sides and into the support frame 10. Then, the wireless charger 6 wirelessly charges the drone. When the temperature sensor 16 detects...

A baffle 52 is installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 51.
[0044] Furthermore, when the drone needs to enter the cavity 5, the controller 4 first controls the motor 22 to drive the rotating rod 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the sealing plate 21 to rotate forward, exposing the cavity 5. This facilitates the movement of the heat insulation plate 9 forward, allowing the drone to land on top of the heat insulation plate 9. Then, when the heat insulation plate 9 moves backward into the cavity 5, the motor 22 again drives the sealing plate 21 to rotate backward, blocking the cavity 5. When the wireless charger 6 inside the cavity 5 charges the drone, the electric telescopic rod 51 drives the baffle 52 to move upward, and the heat generated during charging is discharged through the mesh holes 50.

Then, the controller controls the hydraulic cylinder 12 to work and drive the heat insulation plate 13 to move inward to block the wireless charger 6. The controller also controls the electric telescopic rod 51 to drive the baffle 52 to move down and block the mesh hole 50. Then, the fan 24 starts to send air into the cavity 5.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of the present invention provides: an intelligent maintenance chamber for a factory inspection drone, wherein multiple liquid nitrogen cylinders 29 are symmetrically installed on the top of the chamber body 2, a gas supply pipe 30 is installed at the output end of the back of the liquid nitrogen cylinder 29, a gas supply pipe 41 is installed at the output end of the gas supply pipe 30, and one end of the gas supply pipe 41 penetrates the inner wall of the back of the cavity 5, and a solenoid valve 22 is installed at the output end of the gas supply pipe 41, and the solenoid valve 22 is electrically connected to the controller 4.
[0048] Furthermore, when the temperature sensor 16 inside the cavity 5 detects that the temperature inside the cavity 5 has risen to N due to the combustion of the drone's lithium battery, or when the smoke sensor 17 detects smoke, the controller 4 controls the solenoid valve 28 and solenoid valve 32 inside the cavity 5 to open simultaneously.

[0049] Furthermore, the controller 4 integrates a timing module. When the controller 4 controls the simultaneous opening of solenoid valve 28 and solenoid valve 32, if the temperature sensor 16 detects that the internal temperature of the cavity 5 has risen to the set value N, or the smoke sensor 17 detects that there is smoke inside the cavity 5 and the duration exceeds the set value without decreasing, the controller 4 controls the motor 22 to work and drive the sealing plate 21 to rotate forward, exposing the cavity 5. Then, the controller controls the hydraulic cylinder 12 to work and drive the heat insulation plate 13 to move inward to block the wireless charger 6. Subsequently, the controller 4 controls the hydraulic cylinder 7 to work and drive the heat insulation plate 9 to move forward, thereby moving the drone out of the cavity 5, so that the drone burns outside the cavity 5, avoiding damage to the internal components of the cavity 5.

A heating rod 41 is installed on the inner rear wall of the purification box 33, located inside the catalyst 39, and electrically connected to the controller 4. Multiple baffles 54 are installed, forming an S-shaped channel. An air supply box 42 is installed on the front of the purification box 33. An air outlet pipe 43 is installed at the left output end of the air supply box 42, and the output end of the air outlet pipe 43 is connected to the front input end of the air inlet pipe 44. A fan 49 is installed inside the air supply box 42, and the fan 49 is electrically connected to the controller 4. An air inlet pipe 44 is installed at the right input end of the air supply box 42. The bottom of the air inlet pipe 44... An air supply pipe 45 is installed at the input end. The bottom of the air supply pipe 45 penetrates the top inner wall of multiple cavities 5.

[0051] Furthermore, when the temperature sensor 16 inside the cavity 5 detects that the temperature inside the cavity 5 has risen to N due to the combustion of the drone's lithium battery, or when the smoke sensor 17 detects smoke, the controller 4 controls the solenoid valves 28, 32, and 47 inside the cavity 5 to open simultaneously. It also controls the electric telescopic rod 51 to move the baffle 52 down to block the mesh hole 50. Then, the fan 24 starts to send air into the cavity 5. At the same time, the nitrogen in the liquid nitrogen cylinder 29 enters the cavity 5 through the gas supply pipe 30, 31, and the solenoid valve 32. Simultaneously, the controller 4 controls the fan 49 to work. The fan 49 draws the gas inside the cavity 5 into the metal hose 48. Then, the gas passes through the solenoid valve 47, the inlet pipe 46, the gas supply pipe 45, the inlet pipe 44, the air supply box 42, and the outlet pipe 43 in sequence and finally enters the purification box 33, thereby cooling the inside of the cavity 5.
[0052] Furthermore, when the gas inside the cavity 5 enters the purification chamber 33, and the gas flows upward in an S-shape between multiple baffles 54 in the purification chamber 33, the sodium carbonate solution in the purification chamber 33 absorbs the HF generated by the combustion of the drone's lithium-ion battery. Then the gas flows upward through the grid plate 36 and activated carbon 37. Then the activated carbon 37 absorbs formaldehyde. Then the gas passes through the grid plate 38 and catalyst 39. The controller 4 controls the heating rod 41 to turn on to heat the catalyst 39. The temperature sensor 40 detects the temperature of the catalyst 39. The catalyst 39 is a Pt / Pd catalyst, which oxidizes CO to CO2 at 300-400℃. The treated gas is finally discharged from the exhaust pipe 34.
[0053] The following are the usage instructions for the intelligent maintenance bay used with factory inspection drones:
[0054] S1. The sealing plate 21 rotates forward to expose the cavity 5, then the heat insulation plate 9 moves forward, then the drone lands on the heat insulation plate 9, then the heat insulation plate 9 drives the drone to move backward into the cavity 5, then the sealing plate 21 rotates to block the cavity 5.
[0055] S2, camera 18 captures images of the drone, then heat insulation plate 13 moves to both sides into the support frame 10, and then wireless charger 6 wirelessly charges the drone.
[0056] S3. When temperature sensor 16 detects that the internal temperature of cavity 5 has risen to the set value M, fan 24 is turned on, and then solenoid valve 28 inside cavity 5 is opened, allowing air to enter the cavity 5 from air intake box 23, air supply pipe 26, and air supply pipe 27. At the same time, hot air inside cavity 5 is discharged from mesh hole 50.
[0057] S4. When temperature sensor 16 detects that the internal temperature of the cavity 5 has risen to the set value N, or when smoke sensor 17 detects smoke, baffle 52 moves down to block the mesh hole 50 to prevent harmful gas from being discharged. Then, solenoid valve 32 opens to allow nitrogen from liquid nitrogen cylinder 29 to flow into the cavity 5 for cooling. At the same time, solenoid valve 47 in the cavity 5 opens, and fan 49 starts to draw the gas in the cavity 5 into the purification box 33. Sodium carbonate solution in purification box 33 absorbs HF generated by the combustion of the drone's lithium-ion battery. Then, activated carbon 37 absorbs formaldehyde. Next, catalyst 39 catalyzes the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. The treated gas is finally discharged from exhaust pipe 34.
[0058] S4 also includes the following steps:
[0059] S41 and heating rod 41 heat the catalyst 39, so that the catalyst 39 catalyzes the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide at an appropriate temperature.
[0060] Working Principle: Before using the intelligent maintenance cabin for factory inspection drones, check for any issues that might affect its use. The sealing plate 21 rotates forward to expose the cavity 5. Then, the heat insulation plate 9 moves forward, and the drone lands on top of the heat insulation plate 9. The heat insulation plate 9 then moves the drone backward into the cavity 5. The sealing plate 21 then rotates to block the cavity 5, and the camera 18 captures an image of the drone. Next, the heat insulation plate 13 moves to both sides into the support frame 10. The wireless charger 6 then wirelessly charges the drone. When the temperature sensor 16 detects that the temperature inside the cavity 5 has risen to the set value M, the fan 24 turns on. Then, the solenoid valve 28 inside the cavity 5 opens, allowing air to enter from the intake box 23, air supply pipe 26, and air supply pipe 27. Inside cavity 5, hot air is discharged from mesh holes 50. When temperature sensor 16 detects that the temperature inside cavity 5 has risen to the set value N, or when smoke sensor 17 detects smoke, baffle 52 moves down to block mesh holes 50 to prevent harmful gases from being discharged. Then, solenoid valve 2 32 opens to allow nitrogen from liquid nitrogen cylinder 29 to flow into cavity 5 for cooling. At the same time, solenoid valve 47 in cavity 5 opens, and fan 2 49 starts to draw the gas in cavity 5 into purification chamber 33. Sodium carbonate solution in purification chamber 33 absorbs HF generated by the combustion of the drone's lithium-ion battery. Then, activated carbon 37 absorbs formaldehyde. Heating rod 41 heats catalyst 39, so that catalyst 39 catalyzes the conversion of carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide at an appropriate temperature. The treated gas is finally discharged from exhaust pipe 34.
