Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warning light installation, and in particular to a warning light installation device based on a drone. Background Technology

[0002] Installing warning lights on power distribution lines is an important measure for the safe operation of power systems. On the one hand, the warning lights can startle animals (such as birds, monkeys, and squirrels) that approach the power distribution lines, preventing wild animals from accidentally touching them and causing short circuits. On the other hand, they can remind construction workers during construction, maintenance, or road work to avoid safety problems caused by workers or equipment accidentally touching the power distribution lines.

[0003] However, installing warning lights on power distribution lines is a high-altitude operation, which is difficult, especially in rural areas, mountainous areas and other places with uneven ground. Existing aerial work platforms are not able to move construction personnel to the target installation location, and fixing the warning lights to the power distribution lines by hand is inefficient and unsafe.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the way warning lights are installed on power distribution lines to reduce the safety risks during the installation process and improve the installation efficiency of warning lights. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a warning light installation device based on drones, which can safely and quickly fix the warning light on the power distribution line.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A drone-based warning light mounting device for mounting a warning light on a power distribution line includes: a drone and a housing, a mounting cup, and multiple fasteners located on the drone;

[0034] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a warning light mounting device 10 based on a drone, used to install a warning light on a power distribution line, which includes: a drone 100 and a housing 200, a mounting cup 300 and a plurality of fasteners 400 located on the drone 100.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 200 includes a fixed base 210 and a control board 220 and a motor 230 located in the fixed base 210. The control board 220 is electrically connected to the motor 230. The output end of the motor 230 passes through the fixed base 210 and is connected to the mounting cup 300. The motor 230 is used to drive the mounting cup 300 to rotate.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mounting cup 300 is provided with a receiving cavity 310 for storing the lamp cover 21 of the warning light. Multiple notches 320 are provided on the edge of the mounting cup 300, and fasteners 400 are rotatably provided on the notches 320.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The fastener 400 includes a pivot 410 and a counterweight 420 and a contact piece 430 located on both sides of the pivot 410. The counterweight 420 is located above the contact piece 430, and the center of gravity of the counterweight 420 is located outside the mounting cup 300. The counterweight 420 is offset away from the receiving cavity 310, and the contact piece 430 is tilted towards the receiving cavity 310.

[0038] The process of installing the warning light 20 using the drone-based warning light installation device 10 is as follows:

[0039] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 Place the warning light 20 on the mounting cup 300, so that the lamp cover 21 is located inside the receiving cavity 310; when the lamp cover 21 enters the receiving cavity 310, the outer wall of the lamp cover 21 abuts against the contact piece 430, generating a thrust that drives the fastener 400 to rotate around the pivot 410, and after the lamp cover 21 is submerged in the receiving cavity 310, the counterweight 420 fits against the outer wall of the lamp cover 21, and the counterweight 420 clamps the lamp cover 21. At this time, the fastener 400 is in the following state: Figure 7 As shown;

[0040] After completing the above preparations, start the drone 100. The drone 100 will lift the warning light 20 below the power distribution line. The construction personnel will remotely control the drone 100 to align the clip 22 on the warning light 20 with the power distribution line. Then, start the box 200. The installation cup 300 will drive the warning light 20 to rotate so that the clip 22 is locked, simulating the process of manually turning the warning light 20.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 After fixing the warning light 20 to the power distribution line, the drone 100 descends, separating the mounting cup 300 from the lamp cover 21. After the mounting cup 300 separates from the lamp cover 21, the fastener 400 resets under the action of the counterweight 420. Figure 7 The state shown becomes Figure 6 The state shown.

[0042] It should be noted that, since the center of gravity of the counterweight 420 is located outside the mounting cup 300, the fastener 400 is in an inclined state before the warning light 20 is mounted. Specifically, the counterweight 420 is offset outward from the receiving cavity 310, and the contact piece 430 is inclined inward from the receiving cavity 310. Therefore, in the initial state, the contact piece 430 extends into the receiving cavity 310, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, when the warning light 20 is placed on the mounting cup 300, the lamp cover 21 can contact the contact piece 430, thereby driving the fastener 400 to swing, which in turn allows the counterweight 420 to clamp the lamp cover 21, enabling the warning light 20 to resist lateral wind force and prevent it from tipping over.

[0043] It should be emphasized that the clamping force provided by the counterweight 420 is actually formed by the lamp cover 21 pushing the contact piece 430, which is intended to resist the wind force in the air and prevent the warning light 20 from being blown over and falling.

[0044] The aforementioned drone-based warning light mounting device 10 has the following advantages:

[0045] 1. The mounting cup 300 can carry the warning light and move it to the power distribution line via the drone 100. The warning light is driven to rotate by the box 200 and the mounting cup 300 to complete the installation. Construction personnel can remotely control the installation of the warning light from the ground. The installation task can be performed even in complex terrain, which can improve the installation efficiency of the warning light. At the same time, construction personnel do not need to work at heights, which helps to improve the safety of the warning light installation process.

[0046] 2. Fastener 400 can hold the lamp cover 21 of the warning light, ensuring that the warning light will not tip over during the rotation of the mounting cup 300.

[0047] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the mounting cup 300 has a relief groove 330 that matches the contact piece 430, and the depth of the relief groove 330 is greater than the thickness of the contact piece 430. The relief groove 330 provides sufficient room for the contact piece 430 to move, preventing the contact piece 430 from being stuck between the mounting cup 300 and the lampshade 21, and ensuring that the lampshade 21 can be smoothly separated from the mounting cup 300 after the installation is completed.

[0048] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, the surface of the counterweight 420 is provided with a silicone patch 421, which is used to contact the lampshade 21 of the warning light. The silicone patch 421 can increase the friction when the counterweight 420 contacts the lampshade 21.

[0049] Please see Figure 6 In one embodiment, a step 440 is provided at the boundary between the counterweight 420 and the contact piece 430, and a blocking part 340 is provided on the mounting cup 300, which abuts against the step 440. When the blocking part 340 abuts against the step 440, the fastener 400 flips into place, and the blocking part 340 is used to limit the flipping range of the fastener 400.

[0050] In one embodiment, a gap is provided between the inner wall of the receiving cavity 310 and the lampshade 21 of the warning light. This makes the process of docking and separating the warning light 20 from the mounting cup 300 smoother.

[0051] In one embodiment, the housing 200 is provided with a manual switch, which is electrically connected to the control board 220.

[0052] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, a flange 240 is provided on the housing 200 at the location where it connects to the drone 100. The housing 200 can be removed from the drone 100 by disassembling and assembling the flange 240 to facilitate later maintenance.

[0053] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the housing 200 further includes a forward / reverse remote control module 250, which is electrically connected to the control board 220. The rotation direction of the motor 230 can be changed via the forward / reverse remote control module 250.

[0054] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
