DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a drone inspection device, including a drone body 100, a protective component for protecting the drone body 100 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drone body 100, a high-definition camera 106 is fixedly installed on the surface of the protective component, and the signal transmission end of the high-definition camera 106 is connected to the signal input end of the drone body 100 through a wire 107. The picture taken by the high-definition camera 106 is transmitted to the drone body through the wire 107, and 100 is then transmitted back to the display screen in the hands of the staff. Through the setting of the protective component, when the device touches an obstacle, the obstacle will first touch the protective component, and the obstacle cannot directly affect the drone body 100 through the mesh cover 201, thereby improving the flight safety of the drone body 100.
[0024] The protective component includes two groups of mesh covers 201 arranged opposite to each other. The material of the mesh covers 201 is one or a combination of carbon fiber materials, polyurethane, polyamide, etc. The bottoms of the two groups of mesh covers 201 are in contact with each other. The drone body 100 is located in the inner cavity between the two groups of mesh covers 201. Fixed columns 102 are installed on the top and bottom surfaces of the drone body 100. Bolts 200 are penetrated and connected to the surface of the mesh covers 201. One end of the bolt 200 penetrates the surface of the mesh covers 201 and is threadedly connected to the surface of the fixed column 102. Through the setting of the bolt 200, the bolt 200 can be removed to separate the protective component from the drone body 100, which is very convenient and quick.
[0025] An elastic rubber block 103 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing column 102, and the bottom of the elastic rubber block 103 is bonded to the surface of the drone body 100. Through the setting of the elastic rubber block 103, when the fixing column 102 generates an impact, the impact on the drone body 100 is reduced, and the fixing column 102 cannot directly contact the drone body 100, resulting in damage to the drone body 100.
[0026] Connecting blocks 101 are fixedly installed on both sides of the drone body 100, and a connecting plate 104 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 101 through a screw 110. A shock absorber 105 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 104, and one end of the shock absorber 105 is rotatably sleeved on the surface of a fixing rod 108. The top surface of the fixing rod 108 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the circular ring of the mesh cover 201 below. Through the setting of the shock absorber 105, when the mesh cover 201 is impacted, the shock absorber 105 connected between the drone body 100 and the mesh cover 201 reduces the impact force on the drone body 100, thereby ensuring the integrity of the drone body 100 and reducing damage.
[0027] A plug-in rod 205 is fixedly installed on the contact surface of the mesh cover 201 at the bottom, and the surface of the plug-in rod 205 is slidably plugged into the contact surface of the mesh cover 201 at the top. A buckle 203 is fixedly installed on the edge surface of the mesh cover 201 at the bottom, and a slot 204 is provided on the surface of the edge of the mesh cover 201 at the top. The buckle 203 is snapped into the inner cavity of the slot 204. The upper and lower mesh covers 201 are positioned by setting the plug-in rod 205, so that the buckle 203 is snapped into the inner cavity of the slot 204.
[0028] A landing frame 109 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the net cover 201 at the bottom to prevent the net cover 201 at the bottom from directly contacting the ground.
[0029] A blocking ring 202 is fixedly installed on the surface of the mesh cover 201 at the top. The blocking ring 202 blocks the high-voltage cable, thereby ensuring that the high-voltage cable cannot enter the interior of the mesh cover 201 through the gap between the mesh covers 201.
[0030] Working principle:
[0031] First, the staff takes out the drone body 100, installs the protection component and the drone body 100 together, and then controls the drone body 100 to rise to the work site, and uses the high-definition camera 106 to check the high-voltage cables and insulation terminals above. For example, when the drone touches an obstacle, the obstacle will first touch the protection component, so that the obstacle cannot pass through the protection component to affect the drone blades, thereby improving the flight safety of the drone. Furthermore, in extreme cases, such as when the electronic control system of the drone body 100 fails, the drone body 100 cannot work normally, causing the drone body 100 to fall, and the net cover 201 first contacts the ground. When the force generated by the impact is transmitted to the fixed column 102, the drone body 100 and the fixed column 102 are connected together through the elastic rubber block 103. The elastic rubber block 103 is deformed to reduce the impact of the impact force on the drone body 100, and the shock absorber 105 connected between the drone body 100 and the net cover 201 is used to reduce the lateral impact force on the drone body 100, thereby ensuring the integrity of the drone body 100 and minimizing damage.
[0032] In summary, through the setting of the protection component, when the drone touches an obstacle, the obstacle will first touch the protection component, and the obstacle cannot directly affect the drone blades through the mesh cover 201, thereby improving the flight safety of the drone.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
