Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of power detection equipment, specifically a high-precision power equipment detection drone. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the power industry, the number and complexity of power equipment are constantly increasing. Traditional power equipment inspection methods are no longer able to meet the requirements of safe and efficient operation of modern power grids. Traditional inspection methods often rely on manual inspections, which are not only inefficient but also pose significant safety risks, especially in complex environments such as high voltage and high altitude. Therefore, the exploration of new and efficient power equipment inspection technologies is particularly important. The rapid development of drone technology has provided new solutions to this problem.
[0003] Patent number CN 220147587 U discloses a drone for testing power equipment. It is equipped with a manipulator and a manipulator drive device, which can be connected and fixed to the cable to be tested through the manipulator. When testing the power equipment, the drone's propeller can be reduced or stopped, reducing the drone's power consumption, improving the drone's endurance, and greatly extending the drone's working time. At the same time, a storage device is provided in the detection device, which can store the detection data to facilitate statistical analysis of the monitoring results.
[0004] However, in use, there are the following defects:
[0005] Although using a robotic arm to clamp the cable helps reduce power consumption in drones, the clamp needs to be loosened during inspection to allow the drone to descend and detach from the cable. Operational errors may result in the risk of the drone falling, and the clamp needs to be realigned and then clamped, which is more troublesome. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a high-precision power equipment inspection drone, which solves the problem proposed in the background technology that during inspection, the clamping needs to be loosened to allow the drone to descend and separate from the cable. If the operation is wrong, there may be a risk of falling, and the clamping needs to be realigned and then clamped, which is a more troublesome operation.

On the one hand, it can support the drone body, and on the other hand, because the rotating block itself can rotate, the drone can move normally laterally without loosening the cable enclosure. There is no need to repeatedly operate the drone body to hover to clamp the cable, which avoids the risk of falling when the drone is started and shut down, and ensures the convenience and practicality of the operation of the drone body; after the rotating block fits and contacts the cable, the electric push rod starts to extend, driving the clamping plate to move toward the center, thereby clamping the cable from the left and right sides, thereby ensuring that the drone body can stop at the current position, facilitating the detection of the current cable position, and improving the stability during the detection process.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. This application can enclose the cable through the adjustment slot, bidirectional screw, folding rod and rotating block. After the servo motor is started, it drives the bidirectional screw to rotate, and the threaded blocks on the left and right sides bring the folding rod closer to each other, so that the left and right rotating blocks fit together, blocking the cable under the rotating block. On the one hand, it can support the drone body. On the other hand, since the rotating block itself can rotate, the drone can move normally laterally without loosening the cable enclosure.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, they are further elaborated below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0023] A high-precision power equipment inspection drone, see Figures 1 to 3, including a drone body 1, a folding rod 12 and an electric push rod 15, the top of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to a pad 7, the top center of the pad 7 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 8, the top of the vertical rod 8 is fixedly connected to an adjusting slot 9, the inner side of the adjusting slot 9 is rotatably connected to a two-way screw rod 1001, the top of the two-way screw rod 1001 is fixedly connected to a folding rod 12, the folding rod 12 is rotatably connected to the top of the surface of the side of the center of the adjusting slot 9 with a rotating block 13, the left and right rotating blocks 13 are fitted together, the cable is blocked under the rotating block 13, and the drone body 1 is supported. Since the rotating block 13 itself can rotate, the drone can be moved without releasing the The cable moves normally laterally under the enclosure, and there is no need to repeatedly operate the drone body 1 to hover to clamp the cable, avoiding the risk of falling when the drone is started and shut down; the surface of the folding rod 12 on the opposite side of the horizontal position of the rotating block 13 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 14, and the left and right edges of the surface of the horizontal plate 14 facing the rotating block 13 are fixedly connected to the electric push rod 15, and the other end of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 16. The electric push rod 15 starts to extend, driving the clamping plate 16 to move toward the center, thereby clamping the cable from the left and right sides, thereby ensuring that the drone body 1 can stop at the current position, which is convenient for the detection of the current cable position.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the splint 16 on the opposite side of the electric push rod 15 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip pad 161. The splint 16 and the rotating block 13 are located in the same horizontal plane. Therefore, as long as the rotating block 13 can contact the cable, the splint 16 can be started to clamp the cable directly. The anti-slip pad 161 can increase friction when the splint 16 is clamped, thereby increasing stability.
[0025] It is worth noting that if Figure 3 As shown, a servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one end of the adjustment slot 9, and the outer end of the transmission shaft of the servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw rod 1001. After the servo motor 10 is started, it drives the bidirectional screw rod 1001 to rotate, so that the folding rod 12 moves laterally under the drive of the threaded rod, so that the rotating blocks 13 can be attached together.
[0026] It is worth noting that if Figure 3 As shown, the front and rear side surfaces of the adjustment slot 9 are fixedly connected with side panels 18, the top surface of the side panels 18 is fixedly connected with a top detection device 19, and the top central surface of the adjustment slot 9 is fixedly connected with a top camera 17. The top camera 17 and the top detection device 19 can detect the current cable segment when the rotating block 13 and the clamping plate 16 enclose and clamp the cable, thereby increasing the accuracy of the detection.
[0027] It is worth noting that if Figure 1As shown, a base plate 2 is connected between the brackets at the bottom of the drone body 1, a shock absorber 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 2, a T-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the shock absorber 3, and a bottom camera 5 and a bottom detection device 6 are fixedly connected to the left and right side walls of the T-shaped plate 4. The bottom camera 5 and the bottom detection device 6 can normally detect the power equipment when the drone body 1 is flying, and the shock absorber 3 can ensure that the upper equipment is buffered during landing to ensure safety.
[0028] It should be noted that the shock absorber 3 is a well-known device that can be directly purchased on the market. It is only used here without any structural or functional improvements, so it will not be described in detail.
[0029] It is worth noting that if Figure 3 As shown, the surfaces of the two rotating blocks 13 on the opposite sides of the top of the adjustment slot 9 are respectively provided with a protrusion 131 and a groove 132. When the rotating blocks 13 on the left and right sides are fitted together, the protrusion 131 is just inserted into the groove 132, thereby facilitating the stability of the fitting position of the rotating blocks 13.
[0030] It is worth noting that if Figure 3 As shown, a counterweight 20 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the other end of the adjustment slot 9. The counterweight 20 and the servo motor 10 are respectively located at the two ends of the adjustment slot 9. The weight of the counterweight 20 and the servo motor 10 are consistent, thereby ensuring the stability of the center of gravity above the drone body 1 and improving the stability during flight.
[0031] In actual use, the drone body 1 starts to detect the cable. After reaching the cable position, the drone body 1 is level with the cable. At this time, the bottom camera 5 and the bottom detection device 6 at the bottom of the drone body 1 will detect the cable. When it is necessary to save power, the drone body 1 is operated to reach the center below the cable, and then rises so that the cable is located between the folding rods 12 on the left and right sides. The cable can be surrounded by adjusting the groove 9, the two-way screw rod 1001, the folding rod 12 and the rotating block 13. After the servo motor 10 is started, it drives the two-way screw rod 1001 to rotate, and the threaded blocks 11 on the left and right sides bring the folding rod 12 closer to each other, so that the left and right rotating blocks 13 fit together, and the cable is blocked under the rotating block 13. On the one hand, the drone body 1 can be On the other hand, since the rotating block 13 itself can rotate, the UAV can move normally laterally without loosening the enclosure for the cable, and there is no need to repeatedly operate the UAV body 1 to hover to clamp the cable, thereby avoiding the risk of falling when the UAV is started and shut down, and ensuring the convenience and practicality of the operation of the UAV body 1. At the same time, the electric push rod 15, the splint 16 and the anti-slip pad 161 can ensure that the UAV body 1 is stationary. After the rotating block 13 is fitted and in contact with the cable, the electric push rod 15 starts to extend, driving the splint 16 to move toward the center, thereby clamping the cable from the left and right sides, thereby ensuring that the UAV body 1 can stop at the current position, facilitating the detection of the current cable position, and improving the stability during the detection process.
