Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle storage, and in particular to an inspection vehicle capable of storing and releasing unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] A patrol vehicle is a vehicle specially used for patrol, inspection and monitoring. It is usually equipped with various sensors, equipment and tools to perform specific patrol tasks, including power patrol, oil and gas pipeline patrol, bridge inspection and environmental monitoring. In the past, patrols were generally carried out manually, but with the rapid development of science and technology, drones are now used for patrols. Drones have the advantages of low price, remote control, vertical take-off and landing, good maneuverability, and strong environmental adaptability. So far, the coordinated use of drones and patrol vehicles has made the patrol process more convenient and simple.

[0003] Due to the large size of drones, they are inconvenient to transport and need to be charged to ensure endurance. Most inspection vehicles are equipped with parking platforms for drones for storing and launching drones. Most traditional drone parking platforms are not equipped with fixing mechanisms. When storing drones, the drones are directly placed in the grooves. When the inspection vehicle is driving, due to the inertia and bumping force, the drones in the grooves will shake left and right and collide with the inner wall of the shell, which can easily cause damage to the drones. Based on this, this solution provides an inspection vehicle that can retract drones to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a patrol vehicle that can retract a drone is provided. This technical solution solves the problem proposed in the above-mentioned background technology that when a drone is to be stored, the drone is directly placed in a groove. When the patrol vehicle is driving, due to the action of inertia and bumpy force, the drone in the groove will sway left and right and collide with the inner wall of the shell, which can easily cause damage to the drone.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a patrol vehicle capable of retracting and deploying a drone, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. In the utility model, when the local drone is stored, the drone feet are placed between two fixing plates, and then the electromagnet assembly is disconnected, the electromagnet assembly is separated from the armature plate, and under the action of the reset spring, the telescopic rod is moved toward the drone as a whole, and then the clamping plate clamps and fixes the drone machine. At this time, the telescopic rod continues to extend and retract, so that the baffle continues to move to the upper end of the drone feet, thereby limiting and fixing the drone feet.

When the drone is to be stored, the drone foot is placed between the two fixing plates 1101, and then the electromagnet assembly 1105 is disconnected, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 is separated from the armature plate 1103. Under the action of the reset spring 1104, the telescopic rod 1102 is moved toward the drone as a whole, and then the clamping plate 1107 clamps and fixes the drone foot. At this time, the telescopic rod 1102 continues to retract, so that the baffle 1106 continues to move to the upper end of the drone foot, thereby limiting and fixing the drone foot. When the drone is used, the electromagnet assembly 1105 is started, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 generates an adsorption force to adsorb the armature plate 1103, thereby releasing the fixation of the drone foot.

[0024] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the fixing mechanism 11 comprises a fixing plate 1101 and an electromagnet assembly 1105, both of which are fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support plate 10, and a pair of fixing plates 1101 are provided, and a plurality of groups of telescopic rods 1102 are slidably connected to the interior of the left fixing plate 1101, and the right end of the telescopic rod 1102 is fixedly connected to the armature plate 1103, and a baffle 1106 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the armature plate 1103, and the left end of the telescopic rod 1102 extends into the interior of the two fixing plates 1101 and is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 1107, and a return spring 1104 is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 1102, and the two ends of the return spring 1104 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixing plate 1101 and the armature plate 1103. When the drone is stored, after the drone foot is located between the two fixing plates 1101, the electromagnet assembly 1105 is disconnected, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 no longer adsorbs the armature block 1103, thereby driving the clamping plate 1107 and the baffle 1106 to move toward the position of the drone foot to fix the drone foot. When the drone is used, the electromagnet assembly 1105 is started, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 generates an adsorption force to adsorb the armature plate 1103, thereby releasing the fixation of the drone foot.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the baffle 1106 and the clamping plate 1107 are both made of rubber, which has strong friction and a soft texture and will not damage the drone.

[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper end of the fuselage cushion block 12 is fixedly connected with a soft cushion 13 .

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, a sealed box door 201 is installed at the top of the parking box 2, and slide grooves 202 are opened on the left and right inner walls of the parking box 2. The left and right ends of the lifting plate 8 are slidably connected to the parking box 2 through the slide grooves 202.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the left and right sides of the fixed frame 9 are provided with limit slots 901, the left and right sides of the support plate 10 are arranged inside the limit slots 901, the lower end of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected with a plurality of groups of damping springs 14, and the other end of the damping spring 14 is fixedly connected with the upper end of the lifting plate 8. The damping spring 14 can buffer the external impact and load change, reduce the impact of the impact force on the drone, extend the life of the drone, and protect the internal components of the drone.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, a storage battery 15 is disposed inside the parking box 2 .

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the drone needs to be stored, the sealed box door 201 is opened, and the driving motor 3 is started at this time. Through the transmission of the first bevel gear 4 and the second bevel gear 6, the driving motor 3 drives the threaded screw 5 to rotate, and the threaded screw 5 rotates to make the sleeve 7 rise, driving the lifting plate 8 to move upward. When the drone stays on the supporting plate 10, the drone foot is placed between the two fixed plates 1101, and then the electromagnet assembly 1105 is disconnected, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 is separated from the armature plate 1103. Under the action of the return spring 1104, the telescopic rod 1102 is moved toward the drone as a whole, and then the clamping plate 1107 clamps and fixes the drone foot. At this time, the telescopic rod 1102 continues to retract, so that the baffle 1106 continues to move to the upper end of the drone foot, thereby limiting and fixing the drone foot. When the drone is used, the electromagnet assembly 1105 is started, and the electromagnet assembly 1105 generates an adsorption force to adsorb the armature plate 1103, thereby releasing the fixation of the drone foot.
