[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a drone for X-ray inspection of wire clamps, which aims to solve the technical problems that the prior art cannot be adjusted and can only be achieved by moving the drone, which is troublesome, and the disassembly and assembly of the detection device is cumbersome and inconvenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0027] See also Figure 2-Figure 4The utility model provides a UAV for wire clamp X-ray detection, comprising a UAV body 1 and a device box 2, a mounting plate 3 is installed between the UAV body 1 and the device box 2, and a rotating mechanism 4 is installed between the UAV body 1 and the mounting plate 3;

[0028] The mounting plate 3 is used for mounting the device box 2, and the rotating mechanism 4 is used for the rotation between the mounting plate 3 and the drone body 1;

[0029] The specific structure of the rotating mechanism 4 is as follows:

[0030] The rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating frame 401, a rotating groove 402, a rotating column 403 and a fixed frame 404. The rotating frame 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the body 101 and is located on the front side of the mounting plate 3. A rotating groove 402 is opened inside the rotating frame 401. The rotating groove 402 is rotatably connected inside with a rotating column 403. The rotating column 403 is connected to the mounting plate 3 through the fixed frame 404.

[0031] Specifically, the support plate 8 is moved by the hydraulic cylinder 9, and a hinge seat is fixedly connected between the hydraulic cylinder 9 and the support plate 8. The support plate 8 drives the device box 2 to move, and drives the mounting plate 3 to move through the device box 2. The two sets of rotating mechanisms 4 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the mounting plate 3. Hydraulic cylinders 9 are provided inside the body 101 and at positions corresponding to the two sets of rotating frames 401. At this time, the mounting plate 3 drives the rotating column 403 to move in the rotating groove 402 in the rotating frame 401 through the fixed frame 404, so that the device box 2 is rotated, and the X-ray detection head 7 in the device box 2 is adjusted in angle, thereby improving the detection effect.

[0032] In this example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the outer side of the device box 2 is fixedly connected to a limit plate 501, and a limit assembly 6 is installed on the top of the mounting plate 3 and at a position corresponding to the limit plate 501. The interior of the device box 2 is connected to an X-ray detection head 7 through a number of lifting cylinders, and the back of the device box 2 is fixedly connected to a support plate 8, and the support plate 8 is connected to the body 101 through two groups of hydraulic cylinders 9.

[0033] The drone body 1 includes a body 101 and four groups of connecting arms 102 fixedly connected to the body 101 on all sides. Propellers 103 are installed on the top of the four groups of connecting arms 102 and on the side away from the body 101; the body 101 is used for the stable installation between the device box 2 and the drone body 1.

[0034] Specifically, the fuselage 101 is convenient for fixed installation on the mounting plate 3, and the limit plate 501 on the top of the mounting plate 3 cooperates with the limit assembly 6 to facilitate the limited installation of the device box 2, and the X-ray detection head 7 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, reducing the workload of the staff during maintenance. The connecting arm 102 and the propeller 103 installed on the top allow the fuselage 101 to fly smoothly.

[0035] See also Figure 2-Figure 4 The specific structure of the limit assembly 6 is as follows:

[0036] The limiting assembly 6 includes a rotating plate 601, two groups of rotating rods 602, two groups of connecting columns 603, a fixed column 604, a limiting groove 605, two groups of connecting shafts 606 and two groups of shock absorbers 607. The rotating plate 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 3. The rotating plate 601 is connected to the two groups of connecting columns 603 through the two groups of rotating rods 602. The fixed column 604 is fixedly connected between the two groups of connecting columns 603. The fixed column 604 has a limiting groove 605 arranged inside. The rotating plate 601 is rotatably connected to the two groups of rotating rods 602 through the two groups of connecting shafts 606. The outer sides of the two groups of connecting shafts 606 are both provided with shock absorbers 607. The fixed column 604 has a clamping groove 608 arranged inside.

[0037] Among them, the limiting plate 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 501 and at a position corresponding to the fixed column 604, and the inner side of the limiting plate 501 and a side close to the fixed column 604 is fixedly connected with a clamping column 502, and the clamping column 502 is connected to the clamping sleeve 503 through a plurality of buffer springs, and the clamping sleeve 503 and the clamping groove 608 are clamped with each other.

[0038] Specifically, the fixed column 604 is rotated outward, and the connecting shaft 606 allows the fixed column 604 to rotate. The fixed column 604 drives the two groups of connecting columns 603 to move, and the two groups of connecting columns 603 drive the rotating rod 602 to move. The two groups of rotating rods 602 rotate on the rotating plate 601, so that the fixed column 604 is rotated to the limit frame 5 and is located on the inner side of the limit plate 501, so that the clamping sleeve 503 makes the limit groove 605 in the fixed column 604 engage with each other, and engage with the limit plate 501 on the limit frame 5, so as to complete the limiting of the limit frame 5. When in use, the shock absorber 607 has a buffering effect on the fixed column 604, and at the same time, the clamping column 502 cooperates with the buffer spring to buffer the clamping sleeve 503.

[0039] The working process of the utility model is as follows: when using the drone for X-ray detection, the body 101 is convenient for fixing and installing the mounting plate 3. The limit plate 501 on the top of the mounting plate 3 cooperates with the limit assembly 6 to facilitate the limited installation of the device box 2, and the X-ray detection head 7 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, reducing the workload of the staff during maintenance. The connecting arm 102 and the propeller 103 installed on the top allow the body 101 to fly smoothly, and the support plate 8 can be driven to move by the hydraulic cylinder 9, and the angle of the X-ray detection head 7 in the device box 2 can be adjusted to improve its detection effect. At this time, the rotating mechanism 4 connects the mounting plate 3 with the body 101 to prevent the mounting plate 3 from falling off when adjusting the angle. Compared with the existing drones for X-ray detection, the utility model improves the overall practicality of the drone for X-ray detection through design.

[0040] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the protection scope of the present invention.
