Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle throwing, in particular to a throwing device used for unmanned aerial vehicle to throw bird repellent boxes. Background Art

[0002] Most of the newly built overhead power transmission lines of the power grid are operated in the wild, covering a wide area. The towers are far apart, the environment is complex, and personnel inspections are difficult and inefficient. As a result, the towers will inevitably be affected by bird activities, and the proportion of bird damage accidents in the overall accidents continues to rise. Bird damage accidents on 220 kV lines are significantly more than 110 kV lines, while bird damage failures at 35 kV and below are relatively small; there are more bird droppings and bird nests on towers than on concrete towers; and there are more bird damage accidents on the crossarms above the insulator strings in the middle of the line than at other locations. The conventional way to install bird repellers is to install them on the power grid by manual climbing, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also labor-intensive, and prone to safety accidents.

When the drone is falling, it presses down the limit assembly 6, so that the other end of the sliding rod 063 of the limit assembly 6 slides toward the outer periphery of the delivery tube 4, driving the limit plate 062 to move out of the bottom of the delivery tube 4 so that the bird-repelling box slides out of the delivery tube 4. When falling, the spring 065 drives the other end of the sliding rod 063 to be retracted so that the limit plate 062 moves to the bottom of the delivery tube 4 to limit the bird-repelling box.

[0024] Specifically, in the utility model, the delivery tube 4 is a cylindrical body, and the bird-repellent boxes are stacked and placed in the delivery tube 4. The outer circumference of the bird-repellent boxes and the inner circumference of the delivery tube 4 are clearance-matched to ensure that the bird-repellent boxes slide out of the delivery tube 4. After the delivery tube 4 is suspended by a drone, the bird-repellent boxes are delivered to the cross arm of the pole tower or other locations where they need to be placed.

[0025] The hinged rod 061, the limit plate 062 and the sliding rod 063 form a Y-shaped structure, the hinged rod 061 and the lower end of the limit plate 062 are connected to form a U-shaped structure, the lower end of the U-shaped structure is connected to the sliding rod 063, the included angle between the sliding rod 063 and the axial direction of the delivery tube 4 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, so that the sliding rod 063 extends downward toward the outer circumference of the U-shaped structure. The lower end surface of the limit plate 062 can be attached to the inner edge of the lower end surface of the delivery tube 4 to resist the lower end surface of the bird-repelling box, and one end of the spring 065 is connected to the outer circumference of the delivery tube 4, and the other end is connected to the inner circumference bottom of the U-shaped structure to provide elastic force.

[0026] The cylindrical body is designed to have a length that can accommodate five bird-repelling boxes, and the cylindrical body is made of light and high-strength material. The limiting components 6 are a pair of relatively arranged limiting components 6, and a pair of limiting components 6 are connected to the outer periphery of the delivery tube 4, so that the sliding rods 063 of the pair of limiting components 6 are relatively open in an outward-facing eight-shaped manner.

[0027] Furthermore, the upper end of the delivery tube is connected to the bottom of the drone via a connecting rod, and the drone presses down the delivery tube 4 via the connecting rod.

[0028] Furthermore, in order to prevent the placement limit plate 062 from being unable to open in time and effectively, and considering the surface roughness of the placement location, the other end of the sliding rod 063 is hinged with a pulley 064, which is slidably connected to the lower end of the sliding rod 063 through a bearing, and the sliding direction of the pulley 064 is the same as the moving direction of the sliding rod 063. The pulley 064 can drive the sliding rod 063 to move so that it can adapt to various working surfaces with different degrees of roughness.

[0029] Furthermore, due to the influence of wind when the drone is flying, the delivery tube 4 will shake slightly, increasing the difficulty of alignment. At least a pair of guide rods 7 are provided at the outer periphery of the bottom of the delivery tube 4. The upper ends of the guide rods 7 are connected to the outer periphery of the delivery tube 4. The angles between the guide rods 7 and the axial direction of the delivery tube 4 are greater than 90° and less than 180°, so that the lower ends of the guide rods 7 extend downward along the radial direction of the delivery tube 4. The lower ends of the guide rods 7 are extended to form a large opening to facilitate alignment with the working position. During the descent of the delivery tube 4, the distance between the guide rods 7 and the outer periphery of the tower is gradually reduced, which can lock the working surface faster and more accurately.

[0030] Specifically, in the present invention, the guide rods 7 include a pair of relatively arranged guide rods 7, the pair of guide rods 7 are outwardly opened in an outward eight-shaped shape, and the pair of guide rods 7 and a pair of sliding rods 063 are respectively staggeredly arranged on the outer periphery of the outer delivery tube 4.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to prevent the delivery tube 4 from rotating due to wind interference, the middle part of the connecting rod 2 connecting the delivery tube 4 and the drone is connected in series with a universal joint 021. The universal joint 021 can be used to control the drone to reduce the shaking and rotation of the delivery tube 4 during operation, so that the delivery tube 4 can quickly lock the operating position.

[0032] Furthermore, the connecting rod 2 at the lower end of the universal joint 021 is an insulating guide rod, and the sliding rod 063 and the guide rod 7 are also made of insulating materials to avoid short circuits caused by accidentally touching live lines, thereby protecting the safety of the drone and the lines.

[0033] Furthermore, a quick-release plate 1 is provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 2, and the quick-release plate 1 is detachably connected to the bottom of the drone. The quick-release plate 1 is a star-shaped structure with four protrusions, and an arc segment is formed between adjacent protrusions.

The connecting block is respectively embedded in the first U-shaped groove and the second U-shaped groove through a pair of cross-arranged pin shafts to realize the connection between the first connecting column and the second connecting column.

[0037] Further, the outer periphery of the lower end of the delivery tube 4 is sleeved with a sleeve assembly 5, and the sleeve assembly 5 includes at least a pair of inner sleeves 052 and outer sleeves 051, the inner periphery of the outer sleeve 051 is provided with a first groove 0513, the outer periphery of the outer sleeve 051 is provided with an outer flange 0512 opposite to the first groove 0513, the outer periphery of the outer sleeve 051 is provided with a groove cavity 0511 spaced from the outer flange 0512, and the outer periphery of the inner sleeve 052 is provided with a second groove 0521, the groove cavity 0511 is nested in the second slot 0521, the two ends of the inner sleeve 052 are embedded in the first slot 0513, and the outer flange 0512 is provided with a screw hole 0514 which is relatively connected with the first slot 0513, and a bolt is arranged in the screw hole 0514 to tighten the inner sleeve 052 to shrink and tighten the release tube 4; the hinged rod 061 and the spring 065 are connected in the second slot 0521, and the guide rod 7 is inserted into the outer flange 0512.

[0038] Specifically, in the present invention, the inner sleeve 052 is surrounded by a semicircular sleeve on the outer circumference of the delivery tube 4, the inner circumference of the outer sleeve 051 is provided with an inner flange 0515, and the first slots 0513 are provided on both sides of the inner flange 0515, and the two ends of the semicircular sleeve are embedded in the corresponding first slots 0513. The groove cavity 0511 nests and surrounds the second slot 0521, the upper end of the hinge rod 061 is hinged in the second slot 0521, and the upper end of the spring 065 is connected to the second slot 0521. The guide rod 7 is inserted on the lower end surface of the outer flange 0512. Screw holes 0514 penetrating the first slot 0513 and the inner flange 0515 are provided on both sides of the outer flange 0512. Both ends of the semicircular sleeve have plug plates 0522 extending outward. When the plug plates 0522 are inserted into the corresponding first slots 0513, bolts are passed through the screw holes 0514 to tighten the two ends of the semicircular sleeve to fix the sleeve assembly 5 on the outer periphery of the launching tube 4.

[0039] In the present invention, since the position limiting assembly 6 and the guide rod 7 are a pair, the semicircular sleeves are a pair of relatively buckled sleeves, and the outer periphery of the outer sleeve 051 is provided with a pair of relatively inner flanges 0515 and a pair of outer flanges 0512, the outer flanges 0512 and the grooves 0511 are staggered, and the virtual connection line of the pair of outer flanges 0512 is perpendicular to the virtual connection line of the pair of grooves 0511. The two sides of the inner flange 0515 are respectively provided with first slots 0513, and the two ends of the pair of semicircular sleeves are relatively embedded in the corresponding first slots 0513 to achieve fixation.

[0040] When the utility model is in use, the drone is controlled to suspend the delivery device. When the delivery device is located at the working surface where the bird-repelling box is installed, the drone gradually falls. When the pulley 064 at the lower end of the sliding rod 063 of the limiting assembly 6 contacts the working surface, the delivery tube 4 continues to fall. Under the pressure of the delivery tube 4, the pulley 064 drives the sliding rod 063 to open along the working surface toward the outer periphery of the delivery tube 4. At this time, the limiting plate 062 is driven by the sliding rod 063 to gradually move out of the bottom of the delivery tube 4, and the bird-repelling box in the delivery tube 4 is moved out of the delivery tube 4 and installed at a designated position. Then the drone is controlled to drive the delivery tube 4 to rise. Under the action of the spring 065, the sliding rod 063 and the limiting plate 062 return to the initial position, and the limiting plate 062 continues to limit the next bird-repelling box.
