DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a patrol drone includes a chassis 1, a connecting rod 4, and a landing assembly 6. The side wall of the chassis 1 is fixedly connected with four connecting rods 4 that are opposite to each other, and the four connecting rods 4 are all provided with propellers. A monitoring probe 17 is provided on the lower surface of the chassis 1, and a landing assembly 6 is provided on the upper surface of the chassis 1;
[0028] The landing assembly 6 includes a first fixed plate 11, and a parachute groove 8, a first rotating groove 9, and a rotating cover groove are provided on the upper surface of the chassis 1. The inner wall of the first rotating groove 9 is rotatably connected to two symmetrical first rotating shafts 12 through bearings, and the inner wall of the rotating cover groove is slidably connected to two relative rotating covers 10. The rotating cover 10 is fixedly connected to one of the first rotating shafts 12, and the rotating cover 10 is rotatably connected to the other first rotating shaft 12 through bearings. The side wall of the rotating cover 10 is fixedly connected to the first fixed plate 11, and the opposite side walls of the two first fixed plates 11 are provided with first electromagnets 26. A parachute 5 is provided in the parachute groove 8, and a circuit breaker is provided in the chassis 1, and the circuit breaker is electrically connected to the first electromagnet 26.
[0029] When the drone hits a wall or obstacle and the propeller of the drone is damaged, the circuit breaker works. The circuit breaker can automatically cut off the power supply when the circuit is overloaded or short-circuited, thereby playing a protective role. At this time, no current flows inside the aircraft, the first electromagnet 26 loses its magnetism, and the two rotating covers 10 are unfolded under the drive of the coil spring. The parachute 5 emerges from the parachute slot 8 and opens under the action of the airflow, thereby reducing the falling speed of the drone, reducing the impact force on the drone, and reducing the damage to the drone.
[0030] In one embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a protective component 7 is provided on the lower surface of the chassis 1, and the protective component 7 includes a second rotating shaft 18. A second rotating groove 16 and a protective cover groove are opened on the lower surface of the chassis 1. The inner wall of the second rotating groove 16 is rotatably connected to two symmetrical second rotating shafts 18 through bearings, and a coil spring is fixedly connected between the second rotating shaft 18 and the inner wall of the second rotating groove 16. The second rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a protective cover 14, and the protective cover 14 is rotatably connected to another second rotating shaft 18 through a bearing. A third fixed plate 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the chassis 1, and a second electromagnet 27 is provided on the side wall of the third fixed plate 20. The side wall of the protective cover 14 is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 15, and a magnet 21 is provided on the side wall of the second fixed plate 15. The protective cover 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective cover groove, and the second electromagnet 27 is electrically connected to the circuit breaker.
[0031] The magnet 21 is no longer attracted by the second electromagnet 27. Under the action of the coil spring, the two protective covers 14 move toward each other and close, wrapping the monitoring probe 17 inside the protective cover 14. When the drone lands, the monitoring probe 17 is protected from directly hitting the stone, avoiding damage to the monitoring probe 17.
[0032] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a buffer cavity 23 is opened on the lower surface of the chassis 1, and a buffer plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the buffer cavity 23. A damper 24 and a damping spring 25 are fixedly connected between the buffer plate 22 and the inner wall of the buffer cavity 23, and the lower surface of the buffer plate 22 is fixedly connected to the monitoring probe 17.
[0033] When the chassis 1 falls and impacts the ground, the damping spring 25 and the damper 24 cooperate to provide a buffer for the monitoring probe 17, thereby reducing the impact force received by the monitoring probe 17.
[0034] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the side walls of the four connecting rods 4 are all provided with protective mesh covers 3.
[0035] The protective net 3 can protect the propeller of the drone from damage when the drone does not collide with the wall seriously.
[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the lower surface of the chassis 1 is provided with a ventilation hole 2, and the ventilation hole 2 is connected to the parachute slot 8. When the drone lands, air flows through the ventilation hole 2 to prop up the parachute 5.
[0037] The above embodiment discloses an inspection drone. When the drone hits a wall or obstacle during the inspection process, causing the drone propeller to be damaged and unable to rotate, the circuit breaker works. The circuit breaker can automatically cut off the power supply when the circuit is overloaded or short-circuited, thereby playing a protective role. At this time, no current flows inside the aircraft, the first electromagnet 26 loses its magnetism, the two rotating covers 10 are deployed under the drive of the coil spring, and the parachute 5 emerges from the parachute slot 8 and is opened under the action of the airflow, thereby reducing the falling speed of the drone, reducing the impact force on the drone, and reducing the damage to the drone.
[0038] At the same time, since there is no current flowing in the drone, the magnet 21 is no longer attracted by the second electromagnet 27. Under the action of the coil spring, the two protective covers 14 move towards each other and close, wrapping the monitoring probe 17 inside the protective cover 14. When the drone lands, the monitoring probe 17 is protected from directly hitting the stone, thereby avoiding damage to the monitoring probe 17.
[0039] When the chassis 1 falls and impacts the ground, the damping spring 25 and the damper 24 cooperate to provide a buffer for the monitoring probe 17, thereby reducing the impact force received by the monitoring probe 17;
[0040] The protective net cover 3 can protect the propeller of the drone from being damaged when the drone collides with the wall in a minor manner.
[0041] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the present technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
