[0033] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0034] Embodiment: As Figures 1-5 shown, an aerial drone for insulator defect detection of the present invention includes:
[0035] Aerial drone body 1;
[0036] Connection component 2, fixedly installed on the lower end surface of the aerial drone body 1; and
[0037] Insulator defect detection component 3, detachably and fixedly installed at the lower end of the connection component 2;
[0038] Among them, the connection component 2 includes a connection plate 201. The connection plate 201 is fixedly installed on the lower end surface of the aerial drone body 1 through a plurality of fixed connecting rods 202. A strip-shaped installation groove 203 is provided at the middle position of the connection plate 201 and runs through the upper and lower ends of the connection plate 201 in the front-rear direction. Two side grooves 207 are symmetrically provided at the left and right ends inside the strip-shaped installation groove 203 and run through the front end of the connection plate 201 in the front-rear direction;
[0039] An L-shaped connection plate 201 is slidably installed in the strip-shaped installation groove 203 in the front-rear direction, and the rear end surface of the L-shaped connection plate 201 is attached to the inner rear wall surface of the strip-shaped installation groove 203. The rear end of the L-shaped connection plate 201 is detachably and fixedly connected to the inner rear wall surface of the strip-shaped installation groove 203 through a positioning bolt. Two side blocks 208 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the L-shaped connection plate 201, and the two side blocks 208 are respectively arranged parallel to the two side grooves 207 in the front-rear direction. The L-shaped connection plate 201 is detachably and fixedly connected to the insulator defect detection component 3;
[0040] The insulator defect detection component 3 includes an insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301. The insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 is located on the lower end face of the connecting plate 201, and the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 is detachably and fixedly connected to the L-shaped connecting plate 201.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 2-4 shown, a mounting screw hole 302 is provided in the middle position at the upper end of the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301. The L-shaped connecting plate 201 is detachably and fixedly connected to the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 through a fixing bolt 205. And the lower end of the fixing bolt 205 is threadedly connected to the mounting screw hole 302. A twisting handle is fixedly installed at the outer end of the top of the fixing bolt 205 and at the front end of the positioning bolt. The fixing bolt 205 and the positioning bolt can be tightened conveniently through the twisting handle.
[0042] During installation, the L-shaped connecting slide plate 206 can be first slid into the strip-shaped installation groove 203 and the side groove 207, and the L-shaped connecting slide plate 206 is fixed to the strip-shaped installation groove 203 through the positioning bolt. Then, the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 is installed at the lower end of the connecting plate 201, and the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 and the connecting plate 201 are fixed through the fixing bolt 205.
[0043] A pick-and-place opening is provided at the front end of the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301, and a sealing door panel is installed at the pick-and-place opening. The lower end of the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 is open. Through the opening provided at the lower end of the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301, the insulator defect detection equipment inside the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301 can conveniently detect the insulator defects.
[0044] By opening the sealing door panel, the insulator defect detection equipment can be installed inside the insulator defect detection equipment installation box 301. The insulator defect detection equipment includes a high-voltage divider, a measurement processor, an ultrasonic processing module, a camera, etc. as in the application number: 201711330696.4.
[0045] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, a blower is fixedly installed on the rear end face inside the connecting plate 201.

[0046] When the aerial drone body 1 is damaged during operation and cannot operate, the blower can be started and the electromagnet can be turned off. Turning off the electromagnet can cancel the fixing effect of the storage box 401 on the floating airbag 403. When the blower works, it can inflate the floating airbag 403 through the connecting rigid pipe 204 and the connecting hose 402 in sequence;
[0047] Its inflation is divided into two stages:
[0048] In the first stage, the floating airbag 403 and the connecting hose 402 can be pre-inflated. When there is a little gas in the floating airbag 403, it can float, and then the floating airbag 403 can leave the inside of the storage box 401;
[0049] In the second stage, after the floating airbag 403 leaves the inside of the storage box 401, the floating airbag 403 and the connecting hose 402 can be continuously inflated to make it expand rapidly, so as to apply buoyancy to the present utility model, thereby preventing the present utility model from falling from a high altitude and causing damage.

[0051] Through the adsorption function of the electromagnet on the iron sheet during operation, the floating airbag 403 can be stably stored in the storage box 401.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
