Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable snow removal, and in particular to a snow removal device for an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Transmission lines are prone to ice cover after encountering heavy snow. Once the thickness of the ice exceeds the design thickness of the line, it is very easy to cause line disconnection or even tower collapse. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the ice and snow on the cables in time. However, most of the cables covered with snow are in high altitude areas and cannot be directly removed by humans. Currently, most of them use drones to assist in snow removal.

[0003] Most of the current UAV snow removal devices install snow removal rods through ropes under the UAV, and control the movement of the UAV to drive the snow removal rods to move and hit the cables to remove snow. However, snow removal in this way requires controlling the UAV to move continuously within a certain range, and the snow removal environment will impose certain restrictions on the movement of the UAV, thereby reducing its scope of application.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, a UAV snow removal device is proposed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model proposes a UAV snow removal device to solve the technical problem that most of the current UAV snow removal devices proposed in the above background technology install snow removal rods through ropes under the UAV, and control the movement of the UAV to drive the snow removal rods to move and hit the cables to remove snow. However, snow removal in this way requires controlling the UAV to move continuously within a certain range, and the snow removal environment will impose certain restrictions on the movement of the UAV, thereby reducing its scope of application.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions, a snow removal device for a drone, which is installed on a drone body for use, including:

[0007] A mounting rod, detachably arranged at the bottom of the drone body, and a mounting shell is arranged on the mounting rod;

[0008] A mounting shaft is rotatably arranged on the mounting shell along its axis, and a movable rod is arranged at the end of the mounting shaft;

[0009] A snow removal rod, detachably disposed at the end of the movable rod; and

[0010] The driving mechanism is arranged on the mounting shell and connected to the mounting shaft to drive the mounting shaft to rotate reciprocatingly.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism comprises:

[0012] A steering gear, fixedly arranged in the mounting shell, wherein a driving blade is arranged on an output shaft of the steering gear;

[0013] an abutment rod, disposed on the mounting shaft, with which the driving blade can contact during movement; and

[0014] A torsion spring is sleeved on the installation shaft, one end of which is fixedly connected to the installation shaft, a baffle is arranged in the installation shell, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts against the baffle.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the abutting rod, and the driving blade can be clamped in the limiting groove.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting track is provided on one side of the mounting shell, the movable rod is provided on one side of the limiting track, a limiting block is provided at the end of the limiting track, and a buffer block is provided on the side of the limiting block facing the movable rod.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a threaded column is disposed at the end of the movable rod, a threaded sleeve is disposed at the end of the snow removal rod, and the threaded column is screwed into the threaded sleeve.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, an abutment ring is provided at the end of the movable rod, a fastening pad is provided on one side of the abutment ring, and the fastening pad abuts against the end of the threaded sleeve.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The device installs the mounting rod at the bottom of the drone body for use. During use, the driving mechanism can be used to drive the mounting shaft to reciprocate in the mounting shell to drive the movable rod to swing back and forth. During the movement of the movable rod, the snow removal rod can be driven to swing back and forth to make a small impact on the cable, thereby driving the cable to move to remove the ice and snow on the cable. Compared with the traditional method of driving the snow removal rod to move by controlling the movement of the drone, the device is less restricted by the environment when removing snow. It only needs to control the drone to hover in the snow removal area or move along the cable to achieve rapid snow removal, thereby improving the scope of application of the snow removal device.

[0034] Example:

[0035] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the utility model provides a snow removal device for a UAV, which is installed on a UAV body 101 for use, and includes a mounting rod 102, which is detachably arranged at the bottom of the UAV body 101, a mounting shell 103 is arranged on the mounting rod 102, a rotatable mounting shaft 201 is arranged on the mounting shell 103, a movable rod 206 is arranged at the end of the mounting shaft 201, a snow removal rod 301 is arranged at the end of the movable rod 206, and a driving mechanism connected to the mounting shaft 201 is arranged on the mounting shell 103, and the mounting shaft 201 is driven to rotate reciprocally by the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a servo 401 fixedly arranged in the mounting shell 103, a driving blade 402 is arranged on the output shaft of the servo 401, an abutment rod 204 is arranged on the mounting shaft 201, and the driving blade 402 can contact the abutment rod 204 during movement, a torsion spring 202 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 201, one end of the torsion spring 202 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 201, a baffle 203 is arranged in the mounting shell 103, and the other end of the torsion spring 202 abuts against the baffle 203.

[0036] When in use, the remote control servo 401 can be used to start the driving blade 402 to rotate. During the rotation process, the driving blade 402 drives the installation shaft 201 to rotate along its axis through contact with the abutment rod 204. During the rotation process, the installation shaft 201 drives the torsion spring 202 to deform and store energy. When the driving blade 402 rotates to disengage from the abutment rod 204, the installation shaft 201 can be controlled to rotate and reset under the reset ability of the torsion spring 202, so as to drive the movable rod 206 and the snow removal rod 301 at its end to swing and hit the cable, thereby quickly removing the snow on the cable. Compared with the traditional snow removal method of only controlling the movement of the drone, this method of snow removal is safer and has a wider range of applications.

[0037] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 205 is provided on the abutment rod 204, and the driving blade 402 can be stuck in the limiting groove 205 to prevent the driving blade 402 from being dislocated and detached from the abutment rod 204 during the abutment process, thereby performing stable energy storage and making snow removal more efficient.

[0038] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting track 501 is provided on one side of the mounting shell 103, the movable rod 206 is provided on one side of the limiting track 501, a limiting block 502 is provided at the end of the limiting track 501, and a buffer block 503 is provided on the side of the limiting block 502 facing the movable rod 206. The cooperation between the limiting track 501 and the limiting block 502 prevents the movable rod 206 from rotating to a large extent under the action of inertia, and the buffer block 503 can be provided to buffer the movement of the movable rod 206 when it hits the limiting block 502, thereby improving the reliability of the device when in use.

[0039] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the snow removal rod 301 is detachably arranged at the end of the movable rod 206, the end of the movable rod 206 is provided with a threaded column 208, the end of the snow removal rod 301 is provided with a threaded sleeve 302, and the threaded column 208 is screwed into the threaded sleeve 302. The end of the movable rod 206 is provided with an abutment ring 207, and one side of the abutment ring 207 is provided with a fastening pad 303, and the fastening pad 303 abuts against the end of the threaded sleeve 302. The cooperation between the threaded column 208 and the threaded sleeve 302 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the snow removal rod 301, and the provision of the fastening pad 303 makes the installation of the snow removal rod 301 more secure, and prevents it from loosening and falling off during use.

[0040] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0041] The device installs the mounting rod 102 at the bottom of the drone body 101 for use. During use, the remote control servo 401 can be used to start the driving blade 402 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving blade 402, the mounting shaft 201 is driven to reciprocate in the mounting shell 103 through contact with the abutment rod 204 and the reset of the torsion spring 202, so as to drive the movable rod 206 to swing back and forth. During the movement, the movable rod 206 can drive the snow removal rod 301 to swing back and forth to make a small impact on the cable, driving the cable to move to remove the ice and snow on the cable. Compared with the traditional method of driving the snow removal rod 301 to move by controlling the movement of the drone, the device is less restricted by the environment when removing snow. It only needs to control the drone to hover in the snow removal area or move along the cable to achieve rapid snow removal, thereby improving the scope of application of the snow removal device.
