Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drone airports, and in particular to a drone airport with an edge agent. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of social economy, the demand for electricity is increasing, and the scale of power grids is also expanding. Ensuring the safe and stable operation of power grids has become the primary task of the power industry. The traditional inspection method of outdoor power grid equipment mainly relies on manual labor, which is inefficient, labor-intensive and has limited detection accuracy. With the development of science and technology, the emergence of drone technology has brought new means for power grid inspection. Since drones can fly quickly, they can complete large-area inspection tasks in a short time. Compared with manual inspection on foot, the inspection speed has been significantly improved. In addition, in some dangerous scenes, such as remote mountainous areas, transmission lines across rivers or canyons, drones can quickly arrive and quickly detect.

[0003] At the same time, in order to improve the application performance of drone equipment in power inspection, drone equipment is usually used in combination with drone airports. The drone airports are deployed outdoors, and the inspection tasks are issued remotely. The drones automatically take off and complete the inspection tasks independently. In addition, the drone airport can also be used as an information transmission transfer device to transmit the data collected by the drone to the monitoring center, so as to grasp the operation status of the power system in real time, which is conducive to timely discovery and elimination of hidden dangers of power equipment failures, greatly reducing labor costs and work intensity, and improving the automation and intelligence level of inspections.

[0004] Since the UAV airport mainly uses wireless network as the transmission channel between the outdoor and monitoring center, due to its strong network openness, the communication link has certain security risks. For example, the transmitted power grid data is easily intercepted, forged and tampered with, so it is necessary to use technical means to encrypt and protect the transmission link. The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN1115766256A provides a safe and reliable encrypted communication system and method for power inspection UAVs, which realizes transmission link protection by installing a security chip for connecting to a secure interactive platform.

[0005] However, drone equipment and drone airports are highly third-party products, all purchased by power grid companies. Installing security chips on them will damage the hardware architecture of drones and drone airports, and there is a risk of hardware failure. In addition, it is difficult for non-manufacturer technicians to modify them. Therefore, in actual use, power grid companies usually introduce edge proxy devices between drone airports and the main station of the monitoring center, install software encryption programs and digital encryption certificates on the edge proxy devices, and encrypt the power grid data in the airport through the edge proxy device before forwarding it to the main station of the monitoring center.

[0006] However, in the prior art, when the edge proxy device is used in combination with the drone airport, a data connection line is usually used to connect the edge proxy device to the drone airport for communication, and then the drone airport is placed in an open area outdoors, while the edge proxy device is placed indoors or in a power distribution cabinet with a relatively constant environment for protection. Therefore, the structural integrity of the edge proxy device and the drone airport is reduced, and a solution is urgently needed to improve this problem. Utility Model Content

When the protective cover 5 is covered on the edge proxy device 2, the fixing piece 61 and the positioning seat 8 are magnetically engaged. This is conducive to improving the integrity of the structure, thereby preventing water vapor from entering the protective cover 5 from between the fixing piece 61 and the connecting piece 62.

[0031] In some embodiments, the protective cover 5 is provided with a plurality of cooling holes 9 along the gravity direction and tilted from the inside to the outside of the protective cover 5. The provision of the plurality of cooling holes 9 facilitates the entry of external air into the protective cover 5 to cool the edge proxy device 2. In addition, the tilted cooling holes 9 can prevent rainwater from entering the protective cover 5 through the cooling holes 9 in rainy weather. Specifically, the cooling holes 9 are evenly provided on the three peripheral side walls of the protective cover 5 except the top and bottom.

[0032] In some embodiments, the protective cover 5 is provided with a temporary storage groove 10 at the cooling hole 9, and the temporary storage groove 10 is located on the side of the cooling hole 9 close to the protective cover 5, and when the protective cover 5 is in an open state on the airport body 1, the temporary storage groove 10 is located on the lower side of the cooling hole 9 in the gravity direction. In this way, when the protective cover 5 is opened and there is condensed water in the cooling hole 9, the condensed water will flow into the temporary storage groove 10 for temporary storage, preventing the condensed water from entering the inner side of the protective cover 5, and after the protective cover 5 is closed, the condensed water in the temporary storage groove 10 will slide down due to the action of gravity.
