[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2As shown, a UAV offline lifting structure includes a mounting base 1, a magnetic lifting ring 2, a lifting rope 3, a horn ring 4 and a magnetic suction component 5; the mounting base 1 is used to be installed on an inspection robot, and the top of the mounting base 1 is respectively installed with a magnetic suction component 5 and a horn ring 4, the magnetic suction component 5 is located inside the horn ring 4, the magnetic suction component 5 can be adsorbed on the magnetic lifting ring 2, and the horn ring 4 is used to assist the magnetic lifting ring 2 to dock and adsorb with the magnetic suction component 5, one end of the lifting rope 3 is used to connect the UAV, and the other end of the lifting rope 3 is installed with the magnetic lifting ring 2. In this embodiment, the number of the mounting seat 1, the magnetic lifting ring 2, the lifting rope 3, the horn ring 4 and the magnetic suction component 5 is two respectively, the two mounting seats 1 are respectively installed on the top surfaces of the left and right ends of the inspection robot, the magnetic suction component 5 is a magnet, one end of the two lifting ropes 3 are connected to the drone, and the other end of the two lifting ropes 3 is respectively installed with the magnetic lifting ring 2. When the inspection robot needs to be lifted offline, the drone takes off and rises by carrying the two magnetic lifting rings 2 through the two lifting ropes 3. After the drone adjusts its position, the two magnetic lifting rings 2 are located above the two mounting seats 1, and then the drone moves downward to make the magnetic lifting ring 2 constantly approach the magnetic suction component 5 on the top of the mounting seat 1. The horn ring 4 is a structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom. During the continuous descent of the magnetic lifting ring 2, the horn ring 4 can assist The magnetic lifting ring 2 is assisted to deviate toward the middle of the horn ring 4, so that the magnetic lifting ring 2 can dock and adsorb with the magnetic suction component 5. After the two magnetic lifting rings 2 are firmly adsorbed, the UAV moves upward, thereby driving the inspection robot to go offline from the transmission line. The present application uses the mounting seat 1, the magnetic lifting ring 2, the lifting rope 3 and the magnetic suction component 5 to absorb and grasp by magnetic suction, so as to achieve the effect of improving the offline efficiency of the UAV offline lifting structure. Furthermore, through the horn ring 4, during the process of the magnetic lifting ring 2 descending and adsorbing, the auxiliary magnetic lifting ring 2 is offset toward the magnetic suction component 5 in the middle of the horn ring 4, so as to ensure that the magnetic lifting ring 2 can dock and adsorb with the magnetic suction component 5 smoothly, so as to achieve the effect of improving the working reliability of the UAV offline lifting structure. Moreover, through two sets of offline lifting structures, the balance of offline lifting is ensured to prevent the UAV from tilting due to uneven force.

[0023] like Figure 1-2As shown, the horn ring 4 includes a guide cover 41 and a height cover 42; the bottom of the height cover 42 is mounted on the top surface of the mounting seat 1, and the top of the height cover 42 is connected to the guide cover 41.

In this embodiment, the height cover 42 is a cylindrical structure, and the guide cover 41 is a conical structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. When the magnetic suspension ring 2 descends, if the magnetic suspension ring 2 is misaligned with the magnetic member 5, under the action of the guide cover 41, the guide cover 41 can guide the magnetic suspension ring 2 toward the height cover 42 until the magnetic suspension ring 2 falls into the height cover 42, thereby facilitating the mutual adsorption of the magnetic member 5 inside the height cover 42, thereby achieving the effect of improving the adsorption accuracy of the magnetic suspension ring 2.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide cover 41 is provided with a first through hole 411, and a plurality of the first through holes 411 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the guide cover 41. In this embodiment, the first through hole 411 is a waist-shaped hole, and a plurality of the first through holes 411 are provided in the guide cover 41, and the plurality of the first through holes 411 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the guide cover 41. The first through hole 411 can not only reduce the weight of the horn ring 4, thereby reducing the carrying weight of the drone and the inspection robot, and reducing the load, but also play a role in ventilation, thereby reducing wind resistance, facilitating the movement of the inspection robot, and reducing the swing amplitude of the drone up and down lines affected by wind.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the height cover 42 is provided with a second through hole 421, and a plurality of the second through holes 421 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the height cover 42. In this embodiment, the second through hole 421 is a waist-shaped hole, and a plurality of the second through holes 421 are provided in the height cover 42, and a plurality of the second through holes 421 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the height cover 42. The second through hole 421 can not only reduce the weight of the horn ring 4, thereby reducing the carrying weight of the drone and the inspection robot, and reducing the load, but also play a role in ventilation, thereby reducing wind resistance, facilitating the movement of the inspection robot, and reducing the swing amplitude of the drone's upper and lower lines affected by wind.
