A rotating strip is provided at the side notch of the connecting plate. This utility model's transmission line icing thickness image acquisition mechanism features a connecting plate on the carrier plate. The connecting plate can be connected to a drone via the connection holes. The electronic camera assembly can be mounted on the high-altitude transmission line by the drone to achieve high-altitude image acquisition. A rotatable rotating strip is provided on the side of the connecting plate. A base tube on the rotating strip can be rotated to change direction and be installed with different equipment. A first connector and a second connector inserted into the base tube can also be used for equipment installation to maintain a secure connection.

[0004] However, after the aforementioned data acquisition device is installed on the drone, the lack of a protective mechanism on the bottom of the drone or the data acquisition device during landing makes it easy for the image amplifier, laser light source, and electronic camera to directly contact the ground during landing, or even be damaged by the impact of landing, seriously affecting the safety of the data acquisition device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an image acquisition device for the thickness of ice accretion on power transmission lines, in order to solve the problem that existing acquisition devices are easily damaged when used in conjunction with drones, especially when the drones land.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides an image acquisition device for the ice thickness of transmission lines, including the acquisition device body and a protection component;

[0007] The protective assembly includes a positioning plate, a hanger, an electric telescopic rod, a slider, a connecting plate, a support arm, and a guide component.

The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the hanger and electrically connected to the remote-controlled drone. The slider is slidably connected to the hanger and connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod. The connecting plate is welded to one side of the slider. The support arm is threaded to the connecting plate and is vertically mounted on the connecting plate. The support arm is offset from the laser light source on the main body of the data acquisition device. The guide component is located on the slider and on one side of the main body of the data acquisition device.

[0008] The protection component also includes a speed sensor, which is mounted on the main body of the acquisition device and electrically connected to the remote-controlled drone.

[0009] The guide component includes a guide pin and a sliding component.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the image acquisition device for the ice thickness of power transmission lines. Figure 2 This is a front view of the hanger 103. This utility model provides an image acquisition device for the icing thickness of transmission lines: it includes a main body 101 and a protective assembly. The protective assembly includes a positioning plate 102, a hanger 103, an electric telescopic rod 104, a slider 105, a connecting plate 106, a support arm 107, a speed sensor 108, and a guide component.

This solution addresses the problem that existing acquisition devices are easily damaged when used with drones during drone landing. It is understood that this solution improves the safety of the main body 101 of the acquisition device during drone landing.

[0021] In this embodiment, the structure of the main body 101 of the data acquisition device directly adopts the structure in CN220332970U to realize the information acquisition operation.

[0022] The positioning plate 102 is connected to the casing of the remote-controlled drone and is located on the top of the main body 101 of the data acquisition device. The hanger 103 is detachably connected to both the positioning plate 102 and the main body 101 of the data acquisition device and is located on the side of the positioning plate 102 near the main body 101 of the data acquisition device. The electric telescopic rod 104 is fixedly connected to the hanger 103 and electrically connected to the remote-controlled drone. The slider 105 is slidably connected to the hanger 103 and connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 104. The connecting plate 106 is welded to one side of the slider 105. The support arm 107 is threaded to the connecting plate 106 and is vertically mounted on the connecting plate 106. The support arm 107 is offset from the laser light source on the main body 101 of the data acquisition device. The guide members are respectively mounted on the slider 105 and on one side of the main body 101 of the data acquisition device. The positioning plate 102 can be connected to the shell of the remote-controlled drone by bolts. The top and bottom ends of the hanger 103 are fixed by bolts respectively. The electric telescopic rod 104 is fixed to the detachable support plate of the hanger 103 by bolts. Its output end is connected to the slider 105 by bolts. The slider 105 can slide vertically on the rectangular slide groove of the hanger 103 and has the connecting plate 106 welded to one side. The bottom of the connecting plate 106 is screwed with the T-shaped support arm 107. The bottom of the support arm 107 is a disc structure to increase the contact area with the ground. When set up, it is staggered from the laser light source on the main body 101 of the acquisition device to avoid interference with the operation of the laser light source. The guide component is used to improve the movement stability of the slider 105 and the support arm 107.

[0023] Secondly, the speed sensor 108 is mounted on the main body 101 of the data acquisition device and is electrically connected to the remote-controlled drone. The speed sensor 108 is used to monitor the flight speed of the drone and feed the data back to the drone's central processing module, and then transmit it to an external receiving terminal wirelessly, which facilitates the operator's safe operation of the drone.

[0024] Then, the guide pin 109 is threadedly connected to the slider 105 and slidably connected to the hanger 103, and is symmetrically arranged on the slider 105; the sliding component is arranged on the side of the main body 101 of the acquisition device near the support arm 107. The front external thread end of the guide pin 109 is directly installed on the threaded hole of the slider 105 and is installed by rotating it with an Allen wrench. The hanger 103 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves that slide with the guide pin 109. The sliding component is used to improve the movement stability of the support arm 107.

[0025] Finally, the fixing plate 110 is detachably connected to the main body 101 of the data acquisition device and is disposed on the side of the main body 101 of the data acquisition device near the support arm 107; the slide block 111 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 110 and slidably connected to the round rod of the support arm 107. The fixing plate 110 is connected to the main body 101 of the data acquisition device by bolts, and the slide block 111 is fixed by countersunk bolts and has a vertical through hole for sliding engagement with the round rod of the support arm 107.

[0026] When using this invention to address the problem that existing data acquisition devices are easily damaged when used in conjunction with drones, the main body 101 of the data acquisition device is flown to the power transmission line information acquisition area via an externally remotely controlled drone. Then, when the drone lands, the power supply to multiple electric telescopic rods 104 can be directly controlled remotely. The electric telescopic rods 104 push the slider 105 downwards, and the guide pin 109 guides the sliding, thereby driving the connecting plate 106 and the support arm 107 downwards. After the drone lands, the support arm 107 structure ensures a safe distance between the image amplifier, laser light source, and electronic camera on the main body 101 of the data acquisition device and the ground, thus preventing damage to the corresponding electronic components on the bottom when the drone lands. This solves the problem of existing data acquisition devices being easily damaged when used in conjunction with drones.
