Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cleaning, and more particularly to a UAV cleaning chamber for wind turbine blades. Background Art

[0002] The blade maintenance and cleaning of wind power stations are different from those of general equipment. The location and height at which they are located are not convenient for general cranes to enter, and maintenance and cleaning cannot be carried out by cranes. Instead, they can only be carried out manually by hanging them in the air using ropes. However, this cleaning method is more dangerous, and the efficiency of manual cleaning is also relatively low. Therefore, drones are needed for cleaning, and after the drones have finished their work, they need to be cleaned in a cleaning chamber to facilitate their subsequent use.

[0003] However, most traditional cleaning chambers do not have the function of recycling wastewater, resulting in a portion of the water after cleaning being directly thrown away, causing a large amount of water resources to be wasted, which is not conducive to long-term use; and most traditional cleaning chambers place drones directly into the chamber for washing, and do not have a fixed structure, resulting in the water sprayed from the nozzle directly contacting the drone, causing the drone to bump into something, and the cleaning effect is poor.
