Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of UAV power line inspection technology, specifically to an ultraviolet gimbal payload and a UAV ultraviolet power line inspection platform. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, ensuring the stable operation of power equipment is of paramount importance. With the continuous expansion of power grids and the increasing complexity of equipment, the drawbacks of traditional power inspection methods are becoming increasingly apparent. Manual visual inspection is inefficient, labor-intensive, and limited by human vision and observation angles, making it difficult to detect partial discharge defects, such as corona discharge, in concealed parts of equipment. If these defects are not detected and addressed in a timely manner, they can lead to serious power outages.

Vibrations during drone flight can impact the gimbal payload, affecting precision components such as the ultraviolet sensor and wide-angle visible light lens, resulting in inaccurate detection data and unclear images.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-5An ultraviolet gimbal payload and UAV ultraviolet power inspection platform includes: a first rocker arm 1, a mounting base 2 at the bottom of the first rocker arm 1, a first servo motor 4 mounted at the bottom of the first rocker arm 1, a shock-absorbing component 3 between the bottom of the first servo motor 4 and the inner wall of the mounting base 2, a second servo motor 5 mounted on the side of the top of the first rocker arm 1, and a second rocker arm 6 mounted on the output shaft of the second servo motor 5. A third servo motor 7 mounted on the side of the second rocker arm 6, a first connecting structure 8 mounted at the bottom of the third servo motor 7, and the output shaft of the third servo motor 7 mounted on the side of the second rocker arm 6. A second connecting structure 9 is mounted on one side of the first connecting structure 8, and an ultraviolet sensor 10, a wide-angle visible light lens 11, and a supplementary light 12 are mounted at the front end of the second connecting structure 9, with the supplementary light 12 and the wide-angle visible light lens 11 being integrated into one unit.
[0036] Implementation Process: When the position and angle of the ultraviolet sensor 10, wide-angle visible light lens 11, and supplementary light 12 need to be adjusted, the first servo motor 4 starts, driving the first rocker arm 1 to rotate around its connection point with the mounting base 2, thereby adjusting the gimbal horizontally within a certain range. Next, the second servo motor 5 operates, driving the second rocker arm 6 to rotate around its connection point with the first rocker arm 1, further changing the angle of the detection components. Finally, the third servo motor 7 operates, driving the ultraviolet sensor 10, wide-angle visible light lens 11, and supplementary light 12 to perform more precise angle fine-tuning through the first connecting structure 8 and the second connecting structure 9, so as to better align and detect the power equipment. The supplementary light 12 is integrated with the wide-angle visible light lens 11, and combined with a reasonable installation position, in low-light environments, the supplementary light 12 can provide sufficient light to the wide-angle visible light lens 11 in a timely manner, ensuring its normal shooting. Working in conjunction with the ultraviolet sensor 10, it improves the detection capability of power equipment in different environments.
[0037] Benefits of implementation: The ultraviolet gimbal load can be flexibly adjusted in multiple directions.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] The damping assembly 3 includes a damping block 301 installed inside the mounting base 2. The inner wall of the mounting base 2 has a circumferential array of mounting grooves 302. The circumferential side of the damping block 301 has a circumferential array of mounting blocks 303 installed within the mounting grooves 302. The upper side of the damping block 301 has multiple mounting holes 304. The circumferential side of the damping block 301 is equipped with multiple fixing plates 305 that mate with the mounting blocks 303. The upper and lower sides of each fixing plate 305 are equipped with first inclined blocks 306, and the upper sides of each of the two first inclined blocks 306 have limit grooves 307. The upper and lower sides of each mounting block 303 are equipped with second inclined blocks 308 that mate with the first inclined blocks 306. The opposite sides of each of the two second inclined blocks 308 are provided with limit blocks 309 that slide within the limit grooves 307. Dampers 310 and buffer springs 311 are installed between the two limit blocks 309 and the inclined sides of the two second inclined blocks 308.
[0040] Implementation Process: During the flight of the UAV, when vibration occurs, the mounting base 2 will vibrate accordingly. At this time, the damping block 301 transmits the vibration to the fixed plate 305 through the cooperation of the mounting block 303 and the mounting groove 302. Since the first inclined block 306 on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate 305 and the second inclined block 308 on the upper and lower sides of the mounting block 303 cooperate with each other, and the limiting block 309 slides in the limiting groove 307, the vibration energy will cause the second inclined block 308 to slide relative to the first inclined block 306. In this process, the damper 310 and the buffer spring 311 play a role. The damper 310 consumes the vibration energy and slows down the transmission of vibration, while the buffer spring 311 absorbs part of the vibration energy through its own elastic deformation, further reducing the vibration impact force transmitted to the first servo motor 4 and the entire gimbal load, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on precision components such as the ultraviolet sensor 10 and the wide-angle visible light lens 11.
[0041] Benefits of implementation: The design of the shock absorption component 3 effectively reduces the impact of UAV flight vibration on the ultraviolet sensor 10 and the wide-angle visible light lens 11.
[0042] A drone-based ultraviolet power line inspection platform includes: a drone body 100 and an ultraviolet gimbal payload as described above.
[0043] The UAV 100, equipped with an ultraviolet gimbal payload, flies to the area containing the power equipment. Operators send commands via ground control equipment to control the UAV's flight path and attitude, and can also remotely control the operation of the servo motors within the ultraviolet gimbal payload to adjust the angle of the detection equipment. The ultraviolet sensor 10 collects ultraviolet signals generated by the power equipment's discharge, and the wide-angle visible light lens 11 captures visible light images of the equipment. This data is transmitted back to the ground control equipment in real time via a data transmission system. Based on the transmitted data, operators analyze and determine whether the power equipment exhibits abnormalities such as partial discharge, thus enabling the inspection of the power equipment.
