Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field, and particularly relates to a self-detachable pipe gallery intelligent inspection drone. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the expansion of urban scale, integrated pipe corridors, as an important part of modern urban infrastructure, have received more and more attention. Integrated pipe corridors are underground passages that integrate various pipelines, such as water supply, drainage, power transmission, communication and gas. They can effectively save urban ground space, improve resource utilization efficiency, and enhance the overall operation efficiency of the city. However, in the actual operation process, integrated pipe corridors face many challenges.

[0003] First, as the pipelines are used for a longer time, the pipelines inside the corridor may be damaged due to environmental factors, material aging or external interference, which may lead to water leakage, short circuit or other safety hazards. Secondly, the integrated corridor is usually located underground, with narrow space and complex environment, which makes traditional inspection and maintenance difficult, especially in the event of an emergency, it is difficult to deal with it quickly and effectively. These problems will not only cause economic losses, but may also threaten the safe operation of urban infrastructure.

[0004] Therefore, during the use of pipelines, regular inspections are required to detect potential safety hazards. However, due to the narrow interior of the pipelines, the pipelines are mostly distributed underground, and the communication signals are missing. If the unknown safety hazards cannot be discovered in time, it will cause economic losses or even paralyze the entire system. Once an accident occurs in the pipeline corridor, emergency rescue cannot be guaranteed at the moment of the accident, and accidents in the pipeline corridor are very likely to threaten the personal safety of operation and maintenance personnel. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a self-detachable intelligent pipeline corridor inspection drone. When the signal in the pipeline corridor is poor, the first drone body can be separated from the second drone body, and the Mesh network module of the first drone body can be used as a relay node in the pipeline to ensure that the data connection of the second drone body in the pipeline inspection is not interrupted.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is: a self-detachable pipe gallery intelligent inspection drone, comprising:

[0007] A first drone body, a plurality of first propellers are provided at a lower edge of the first drone body, a first Mesh network module is provided inside the first drone body, a slot is provided on a side of the first drone body, and a ferromagnetic metal plate is fixedly provided on an inner side of the slot;

[0008] A second UAV body is provided with a plurality of second propellers on the upper edge thereof, a second Mesh network module is provided inside the second UAV body, the second Mesh network module is wirelessly connected to the first Mesh network module, an electromagnet block is provided on the side of the second UAV body, the electromagnet block is used to be correspondingly plugged into the slot and magnetically connected to the ferromagnetic metal plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a first control module is provided in the first drone body, a second control module and a main control module are provided in the second drone body, and the first control module, the second control module and the main control module are controlled and connected to each other respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, an infrared transmitter is provided on the upper surface of the second drone body, and an infrared receiver is provided on the upper surface of the first drone body. The infrared receiver is used to receive the infrared signal emitted by the infrared transmitter to achieve docking between the first drone body and the second drone body.

[0011] Furthermore, the second drone body is also provided with a smoke sensor, a laser radar and a camera.

[0012] Furthermore, a first battery pack is provided in the main body of the first drone, and the first battery pack is electrically connected to the first propeller, the first Mesh network module, the first control module, and the infrared receiver respectively; a second battery pack is provided in the main body of the second drone, and the second battery pack is electrically connected to the second propeller, the second Mesh network module, the electromagnet block, the second control module, the main control module, the infrared transmitter, the smoke sensor, the laser radar, and the camera respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, a first bracket is provided below the first drone body, and a second bracket is provided below the second drone body.

[0014] The working method of the utility model is as follows: in the initial state, the electromagnet block of the second drone body is energized and inserted into the slot of the first drone body, and is adsorbed and fixed on the ferromagnetic metal plate under the electromagnetic effect. The main control module and the first control module and the second control module control the first drone body and the second drone body to fly synchronously in the tunnel, and realize the perception and obstacle avoidance of the surrounding environment through the laser radar. When the inspection drone performs tasks in the tunnel, if the signal strength of the Mesh network node somewhere in the tunnel is weakened, the electromagnet block of the second drone body is powered off and demagnetized, and the fixed connection with the slot is disconnected. The first drone body is separated from the second drone body, and the first drone body is suspended in the tunnel. The second drone body continues to move forward for inspection. At this time, the first Mesh network module of the first drone body serves as an intermediate node. Maintain network transmission, the second Mesh network module of the second UAV body is connected to the first Mesh network module to realize data transmission, the smoke sensor on the second UAV body is used to monitor whether there is a fire in the tunnel, and the camera is used to monitor the real-time image in the tunnel. When the second UAV body needs to dock with the first UAV body, the second control module drives the second UAV body to initially approach the first UAV body, and then the infrared transmitter transmits an infrared signal. When the infrared receiver receives the infrared signal, it means that the first UAV body and the second UAV body are at the same level, and the electromagnet block is facing the slot. The second UAV body further moves backwards to the first UAV body until the electromagnet block is inserted into the slot, and the electromagnet block is energized to generate magnetism and adsorbed and fixed in the slot; the above steps can be repeated at places where the tunnel signal is poor.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides a self-detachable intelligent inspection drone for pipe corridors, which is designed to meet the needs of regular inspections inside the integrated pipe corridors. The wireless Mesh network module is used to transmit the data collected by the inspection drone. Due to the characteristics of the Mesh network module, even if some nodes fail, it will not affect the overall data transmission, thereby ensuring the continuity and reliability of data transmission, and meeting the dual needs of positioning accuracy and data transmission stability during the inspection process; in addition, thanks to the flexibility of the wireless Mesh network module, when the device enters an area with weak signals, the first drone body can be separated from the second drone body, and the Mesh network module of the first drone body can be used as a relay node in the pipeline to ensure that the data connection of the second drone body in the pipeline is not interrupted. Therefore, the present intelligent inspection drone can not only realize automated inspections, ensure the stability of data transmission and the accuracy of positioning, but also has excellent signal relay functions.
