DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a multifunctional wind farm integrated intelligent drone inspection system includes a shell 1 and an inspection drone 2. The user terminal 17 includes one or more different types such as a computer terminal, a mobile terminal, and a data interface service. The user terminal 17 and the inspection drone 2 transmit information wirelessly to realize the viewing of the inspection data of the inspection drone 2 and the control of the inspection route of the inspection drone 2. The user terminal 17 and the data transmission and control method between the user terminal 17 and the inspection drone 2 are prior art, so they are not repeated here. The inspection drone 2 is prior art, so it is not repeated here. Its function is to inspect the wind power equipment in the wind farm and send the inspection data to the user terminal 17. The upper side of the shell 1 is connected to the sliding groove by a slider. There are a left cover 7 and a right cover 8, and the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 slide in the left and right directions. Four lead screws 5 arranged in a rectangular array are rotatably connected in the shell 1 through bearings. The four lead screws 5 are divided into two groups on the left and right, and each group has two. The shell 1 is fixed with a lead screw motor 4 for driving the four lead screws 5 to rotate by bolts, and the two groups of lead screws 5 rotate in opposite directions. A gear 6 is connected to the upper end of the lead screw 5. The left cover 7 and the right cover 8 are located on the front and rear sides of the shell 1 and are fixed with a toothed plate 9 meshing with the gear 6 by bolts. A helipad 3 is arranged in the shell 1, and the helipad 3 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 5, and the threads at the left and right ends of the helipad 3 are in opposite directions. The inspection drone 2 is located on the upper side of the helipad 3.

[0021] When in use, the output shaft of the screw motor 4 drives the four screws 5 to rotate, so that the apron 3 can move up and down on the screw 5. The rotation directions of the left and right sets of screws 5 are opposite. When the screw 5 drives the apron 3 to move upward, the gear 6 at the upper end of the screw 5 rotates and drives the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 to move in opposite directions. When the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 move to the left and right ends of the shell 1, the screw motor 4 stops driving the screw 5 to rotate. At this time, the inspection drone 2 extends out of the shell and can take off directly to inspect the wind power equipment in the wind farm, and send the inspection data to Inside the user end 17, it is convenient for the staff to timely understand the operation status of the wind power equipment in the wind farm. When the inspection drone 2 completes the inspection, the inspection drone 2 lands on the upper side of the apron 3, and causes the screw motor 4 to rotate in the opposite direction to drive the apron 3 to move downward into the shell 1, and at the same time drives the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 to move toward each other until the opposite sides of the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 contact, thereby protecting the inspection drone 2 in the shell 1, preventing the inspection drone 2 from contacting the outside when not in use, thereby preventing the inspection drone 2 from being damaged, and improving the service life of the inspection drone.

[0022] The lower side surface of the inner part of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to two synchronous shafts 14 through bearings, and a synchronous gear 15 is inserted on the synchronous shaft 14. The synchronous gears 15 on the two synchronous shafts 14 mesh with each other. The two synchronous shafts 14 are respectively transmitted to the left and right groups of lead screws 5 through a synchronous belt 16, and the lower end of one of the lead screws 5 is connected to the lead screw motor 4, and a synchronous belt 16 is arranged between each group of the lead screws 5, so that transmission is performed between the four lead screws 5. When in use, the lead screw motor 4 drives one of the lead screws 5 to rotate, and the rotating lead screw 5 drives the lead screw 5 and the synchronous shaft 14 of the same group to rotate through the synchronous belt 16, and the synchronous shaft 14 drives the adjacent synchronous shaft 14 to rotate in the opposite direction through the synchronous gear 15, and the lead screw 5 connected to the adjacent synchronous shaft 14 also rotates synchronously through the synchronous belt 16, thereby realizing the reverse rotation of the left and right groups of lead screws 5 and the up and down displacement of the apron 3 on the lead screw 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, a wireless charging module 11 located below the inspection drone 2 is fixed by bolts on the upper side of the apron 3, a receiving module matching the wireless charging module 11 is installed in the inspection drone 2, and a power supply 10 located on the shell 1 is fixed by bolts below the apron 3, the wireless charging module 11 is electrically connected to the power supply 10, when the inspection drone 2 is located on the upper side of the apron 3, the inspection drone 2 can be charged by the wireless charging module 11 below, the wireless charging module 11 is connected to the power supply 10, wherein the model of the wireless charging module 11 and the receiving module is Zhonghui Chuangzhi ZK02 wireless charging module, which ensures the charging efficiency of the inspection drone 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, a rubber pad 12 is glued to the side of the apron 3. When in use, the rubber pad 12 can reduce the impact force of the inspection drone 2 during landing, thereby improving the stability of the drone during landing.

[0025] In this embodiment, the opposite sides of the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 are respectively integrally formed with a plug-in block 701 and a plug-in slot 801, and the plug-in block 701 can be plugged into the plug-in slot 801. When the plug-in block 701 is plugged into the plug-in slot 801, the contact area between the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 is enhanced, and the sealing of the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 is improved, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the shell 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper side surfaces of the left cover 7 and the right cover 8 are inclined from the middle position from top to bottom toward the two sides of the shell 1. When in use, the inclined left cover 7 and the right cover 8 can prevent snow or rainwater from accumulating on the upper side surfaces of the left cover 7 and the right cover 8, thereby preventing snow or rainwater from entering the interior of the shell 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a plurality of air holes 101 are provided on the left and right sides of the shell 1. One end of the air holes 101 located inside the shell 1 is fixed with a dustproof net 13 located on the shell 1 by bolts. When in use, the inside of the shell 1 can exchange gas with the outside through the air holes 101, thereby reducing the heat inside the shell 1. The dustproof net 13 can prevent external dust and debris from entering the inside of the shell 1, thereby increasing the service life of the electrical equipment in the shell 1.
