Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to unmanned plane equipment technical field especially a kind of unmanned plane cleaning system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the actual use of current unmanned plane, unmanned plane with cleaning function is widely used in the cleaning of glass curtain wall or high-altitude outer wall and other fields. In the prior art, water tank and unmanned plane are usually designed as an integrated structure. Although this design achieves cleaning function to some extent, it brings a series of serious problems.

[0003] First, the integrated structure significantly increases the weight and volume of the unmanned plane. The additional weight causes the flight energy consumption of the unmanned plane to rise sharply, and the endurance mileage is greatly shortened, which seriously limits the working range and efficiency of the unmanned plane in tasks such as long-distance inspection in the wild that require long flight.

[0004] At the same time, the increase in volume also changes the aerodynamic shape of the unmanned plane, affecting flight stability and increasing the difficulty and risk of flight control.

[0005] Secondly, the integrated design makes the maintenance work extremely complicated. When the water tank fails, such as water leakage, blockage, or needs to be cleaned or replaced, the unmanned plane as a whole often needs to be disassembled, which not only increases the maintenance cost and time, but also may cause damage to other parts of the unmanned plane due to frequent disassembly, further affecting its service life.

[0006] Thirdly, the fixed water tank capacity cannot meet the diversified cleaning needs. When facing large building wall cleaning and other tasks that require a large amount of cleaning liquid, the insufficient capacity of the water tank needs to be frequently replenished, causing work interruption and low efficiency; while in small cleaning tasks, the oversized water tank causes resource waste and unnecessary flight burden.

[0007] Therefore, the above technical problems need to be solved. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

Detailed Implementation

[0037] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] It should be noted that if the direction involved in the embodiments of this utility model is as shown in the accompanying drawings, the directional indication will also change accordingly if a certain posture changes.

[0039] The core objective of this invention, a drone cleaning system, is to address the limitations in flight performance, maintenance difficulties, and poor applicability caused by integrating the water tank with the drone in existing technologies. By independently installing the water supply device 3 outside the main body 1 of the drone and rationally designing the connection relationships of each component, an efficient, convenient, and flexible drone cleaning function is achieved.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a drone cleaning system according to this technical solution includes: a drone body 1, a quick-release nozzle assembly 2, the quick-release nozzle assembly 2 being installed on the drone body 1; a water supply device 3, the water supply device 3 being set independently of the drone body 1 and having no direct or indirect fixed connection with the drone body 1, the water supply device 3 being used to provide cleaning liquid for the drone cleaning system; and a conveying component 4, one end of which is connected to the water supply device 3 and the other end of which is connected to the quick-release nozzle assembly 2, for conveying the cleaning liquid provided by the water supply device 3 to the quick-release nozzle assembly 2.

[0041] The main body of the drone 1 serves as the flight platform for the entire cleaning system, providing the installation foundation and flight power for other components. It possesses the flight control and positioning functions of a conventional drone, enabling it to accurately fly to the cleaning operation area according to a preset route or operator instructions.

[0042] The spray head quick release assembly 2 mainly includes a spray head 21. The spray head 21 is used to uniformly spray cleaning liquid to the surface of the object to be cleaned, thereby achieving the cleaning function. The spray head 21 is connected to the conveying member 4 in a detachable manner. This design facilitates operation when the spray head 21 fails or needs to be replaced with a different type of spray head. For example, for different cleaning tasks, spray heads with different spray angles and spray amounts can be replaced to meet diverse cleaning needs.

[0043] The water supply device 3 is provided independently of the unmanned aerial vehicle body. It should be noted that the water supply device 3 is not directly or indirectly fixedly connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, and the two are independent of each other in structure.

[0044] Specifically, at the mechanical connection level, the water supply device 3 and the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 are neither fixed by direct connection methods such as welding, riveting, bolt fastening, nor have an indirect fixed connection relationship through any intermediate connecting piece, auxiliary structure (such as the spray head quick release assembly 2), etc. The two are in a completely independent state in physical structure.

[0045] From the perspective of function implementation, the operation and work of the water supply device 3 do not depend on the running state of the unmanned aerial vehicle body, and the two have independent energy supply and control systems, and can execute their respective water supply functions and the flight, operation, etc. functions of the unmanned aerial vehicle body without interfering with each other, fully embodying the high degree of independence of each other in structure and function. In actual use, the water supply device 3 has the following two implementation modes:

[0046] Example 1

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 The water supply device 3 includes a water tank 31 and a water pump 32. The water tank 31 is used to place cleaning liquid. The water inlet end of the water pump 32 is connected to the water tank 31, and the water outlet end of the water pump 32 is connected to the conveying member 4, so as to pump the cleaning liquid in the water tank 31 to the conveying member 4.

[0048] It should be noted that the capacity of the water tank 31 can be adjusted according to the needs of the cleaning task. The water pump 32 is used to pump the cleaning liquid in the water tank 31 to the conveying member 4. The water tank 31 is provided separately from the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1.

[0049] It should be noted that the water tank 31 in this embodiment is usually placed on the ground to supply water to the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0050] For example, for small unmanned aerial vehicles in the local cleaning task, you can choose smaller capacity water tank to reduce unnecessary load; while for large unmanned aerial vehicles in the overall cleaning task, you can choose large capacity water tank to ensure sufficient cleaning liquid supply. The role of the water pump is to pump the cleaning liquid in the water tank to the delivery member. In addition, the water tank 31 is separate from the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, which can be placed on the ground, vehicle or other suitable location, avoiding increasing the flight burden of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0051] In use, the water pump 32 is connected to an external power source to obtain power, and then pumps the cleaning liquid in the water tank 31 to the delivery member 4, and then delivers the cleaning liquid to the spray head 21 through the delivery member 4, and sprays the cleaning liquid from the spray head 21 to act on the surface of the object to be cleaned, thereby realizing the cleaning function of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0052] Embodiment 2

[0053] As shown in Figure 2 The water supply device 3 includes a water source A and a water pump 32; wherein the water source A is used to provide cleaning liquid for unmanned aerial vehicle cleaning. The water source A can be a natural water source (such as a river, lake) or an artificial water source (such as a water storage tank). The water pump 32 is used to pump the cleaning liquid in the water source to the delivery member 4. This form is suitable for scenarios with abundant external water sources, further improving the flexibility and applicability of the system.

[0054] For example, it can realize the convenience and low cost of cleaning unmanned aerial vehicle resource acquisition and has unlimited water supply capacity. When using the combination of water source and water pump, as long as there is a suitable natural water source (such as a river, lake, pond) or artificial water source (such as a municipal water supply system, water storage tank) near the operation site, it can be directly used. This avoids the trouble of carrying water tanks and frequently replenishing the liquid in the water tanks, and reduces the additional transportation and storage costs. For example, in a large area of agricultural irrigation area, unmanned aerial vehicles are used to clean irrigation equipment, and there are often sufficient water sources around, which can be directly used for cleaning operations without the need to purchase and transport large capacity water tanks.

[0055] Especially for long-term or large-scale cleaning tasks, the continuous supply of water source makes it unnecessary to replace or supplement regularly like water tank, which can significantly reduce the cost of cleaning operation in the long run.

[0056] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The delivery member 4 includes a first pipe 41, one end of the first pipe 41 is connected with the water supply device 3, and the other end of the first pipe 41 is connected with the spray head quick release assembly 2; the water supply device 3 is connected with the spray head quick release assembly 2 through the first pipe 41.

[0057] In use, the water pump 32 pumps cleaning liquid from the water tank 31 or the water source A to the first pipe 41, from which the cleaning liquid is delivered to the nozzle 21, and then sprayed onto the surface of the object to be cleaned by the nozzle 21. This design allows the water supply device 3 to be connected to the nozzle quick-release assembly 2 via the first pipe 41, ensuring that the cleaning liquid can smoothly reach the nozzle 21 for spraying.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in another usage scenario, the conveying component 4 includes a second pipe 42 and a connector 43; wherein, one end of the second pipe 42 is connected to the water supply device 3, and the other end of the second pipe 42 is connected to the first pipe 41 through the connector 43.

[0059] In this embodiment, the connector 43 is a right-angle bend that connects both ends. The modular design of connecting the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42 through the connector 43 improves installation and layout flexibility.

[0060] Especially in adapting to complex installation environments, the installation space and conditions in actual drone cleaning system applications are often complex and diverse. A single pipe, with its relatively fixed length and direction, is difficult to adapt to complex installation environments. However, by connecting the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42 via the connector 43, the length and direction of the pipes can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific installation location and space constraints. For example, when there are obstacles between the water supply device and the quick-release nozzle assembly, the first and second pipes can be connected at an appropriate angle and length using the connector to bypass the obstacles, allowing the conveying component to be installed smoothly.

[0061] Furthermore, it offers significant advantages in terms of ease of maintenance and replacement. For example, when the conveying component 4 has only one pipe, if a part of the pipe is damaged or blocked, the entire pipe may need to be replaced, which is not only costly but also relatively complex. However, by connecting the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 42 through the connector 43, when a section of the pipe has a problem, only the corresponding section needs to be replaced, greatly reducing maintenance costs and difficulty. It also allows for easy disassembly and replacement without affecting the pipe itself. In addition, the connector design can use standardized interfaces, making it easy to obtain corresponding replacement parts on the market, further improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0062] like Figure 5As shown, in another use scenario, the conveying member 4 further comprises a second connecting piece 44; one end of the second connecting piece 44 is detachably connected with the first pipe 41, and the other end of the second connecting piece 44 is detachably connected with the connecting piece 43.

[0063] In the embodiment, the second connecting piece 44 is a connecting structure with two open ends and external threads on the periphery of the end of each open end.

[0064] In actual use, the second connecting piece 44 can be replaced by components with different lengths according to the actual use scenario. It should be understood that the length of the second connecting piece 44 has a direct relationship with the cleaning area of the object surface on which the liquid sprayed by the spray head 21 acts. When the spray head 21 is relatively close to the object surface to be cleaned, the cleaning area is relatively small; when the spray head 21 is relatively far from the object surface to be cleaned, the cleaning area is relatively large. Therefore, by replacing the second connecting piece 44 with different lengths to adjust the working area of the spray head 21 on the cleaned object, the flexibility and adaptability of the cleaning system are further improved.

[0065] Further, the unmanned aerial vehicle cleaning system of the technical solution further comprises an auxiliary fixing piece 5 for connecting the conveying member 4 to the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1. The auxiliary fixing piece 5 comprises a guide rod 51 and a plurality of fixing buckles 52.

[0066] It should be understood that since the first pipe 41 or the second pipe 42 in the conveying member 4 is a flexible pipe, the flexible pipe is prone to shaking under the impact of the water flow when the flexible pipe has a water flow inside. Therefore, in use, the first pipe 41 or the second pipe 42 is fixed below the guide rod 51 by the fixing buckle 52, which is conducive to stabilizing the first pipe 41 or the second pipe 42 and avoiding shaking of the first pipe 41 or the second pipe 42 when conveying liquid.

[0067] It should be further noted that the detachable connection mode described above includes thread connection or buckle connection and the like to achieve detachable connection between two components.

[0068] In summary, the unmanned aerial vehicle cleaning system of the technical solution mainly separates the water supply device 3 from the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, and there is no direct or indirect fixed connection between the water supply device 3 and the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, to solve the series of problems caused by the arrangement of the water supply device 3 on the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 in the prior art.

[0069] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the skilled in the art of the present application can also change and modify the above embodiments. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes of the present application should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application. In addition, although some specific terms are used in the specification, these terms are only for convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation on the present application.
