Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone power supply technology, and in particular to a dual power supply structure for a curtain wall cleaning drone. Background Technology

[0002] Building curtain walls are typically quite tall and have relatively complex structures. Currently, cleaning them is mostly done using specialized drones. These drones use flight control systems and highly sensitive sensors, along with high-definition cameras to provide live footage for cleaning operations. Existing cleaning drones require secure internal power supplies due to their complex control trajectories.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN201821226105.9 discloses an uninterrupted dual power supply installation structure, including an installation box. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner cavity of the installation box, and power supply bodies are movably connected to both sides of the mounting bracket. This solves the problem of poor fixation in existing uninterrupted dual power supply installation structures, and has the advantage of good fixation, improving the stability of the power supply during operation and enhancing the practicality of the uninterrupted dual power supply installation structure. However, the power supply bodies in this dual power supply installation structure are all fixedly installed. If the power supply body used by the drone malfunctions during use, the load cannot be quickly transferred to the backup power supply, and relying solely on the emergency power supply cannot ensure reliable operation for extended periods. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a dual power supply structure for curtain wall cleaning drones, so as to solve the technical problem that in the existing dual power supply installation structure, the power supply body is fixed in the installation method, and if the power supply body used by the drone has a problem during use, it is impossible to quickly transfer the load to the backup power supply, and the emergency power supply alone cannot operate reliably for a long time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a dual-power structure for a curtain wall cleaning drone, including a mounting box and a mounting bracket disposed within the mounting box. The mounting bracket is equipped with a power supply body. A rotating plate is also rotatably mounted inside the mounting box. There are two mounting brackets, each mounted on one side of the rotating plate. The dual-power structure further includes:

[0006] A mounting bracket is installed inside the curtain wall cleaning drone, and the mounting box is installed on the upper end of the mounting bracket;

[0007] A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, and the upper end of the rotating shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating plate.

[0008] A jet nozzle, which is mounted on the lower end of the rotating shaft;

[0009] A drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes;

[0011] A drive motor is mounted on the fixed frame and connected to the emergency power supply inside the curtain wall cleaning drone.

[0012] A crank, one end of which is mounted on the output end of the drive motor;

[0013] A swing plate, the middle part of which is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, the swing plate having a sliding groove, and the end of the swing plate having fan-shaped teeth;

[0014] A guide groove is installed on the side end of the fixed frame, and a sliding ring is slidably installed in the guide groove;

[0015] A slider is rotatably mounted on the other end of the crank, and the slider is also slidably disposed within the groove and the sliding ring;

[0016] A gear is mounted on the rotating shaft and meshes with sector teeth on the swing plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting box is provided with a cover plate.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixed frame is provided with an avoidance opening, and the rotation path of the crank is located within the range of the avoidance opening.

[0019] Furthermore, the sliding ring has two symmetrical limiting grooves in the middle.

[0020] Furthermore, during the process of placing the slider within the two limiting grooves, the rotating shaft rotates 180 degrees.

[0021] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with bidirectional abutments, and the power supply body is placed between the bidirectional abutments.

[0022] Furthermore, a pressure plate is detachably installed on the upper end of the bidirectional abutment plate, and the pressure plate abuts against the upper end of the power supply body.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using a dual-power supply structure for a curtain wall cleaning drone, if the power supply unit malfunctions, the drive mechanism will quickly switch the position of the undamaged power supply unit on the other side to continue supplying power to the drone load. During the switching process, the lower jet head will also rotate synchronously, causing the airflow from the jet head to form a fan-shaped area, blowing away the mist generated during the drone cleaning process, ensuring smooth switching of the load circuit, and achieving the goal of long-term reliable operation.

[0033] An embodiment of this utility model proposes a dual-power supply structure for a curtain wall cleaning drone, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a mounting box 1 and a mounting bracket 2 disposed within the mounting box 1. A power supply body 3 is mounted on the mounting bracket 2. A rotating plate 4 is also rotatably mounted inside the mounting box 1. There are two mounting brackets 2, which are respectively mounted on both sides of the rotating plate 4. The dual-power supply structure also includes:

[0034] The mounting bracket 5 is installed inside the curtain wall cleaning drone, and the mounting box 1 is installed on the upper end of the mounting bracket 5.

[0035] The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 5, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 6 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating plate 4.

[0036] Jet head 7 is mounted on the lower end of rotating shaft 6;

[0037] A drive mechanism for driving the rotating shaft 6 to rotate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes;

[0039] Drive motor 8 is mounted on the fixed frame 5 and connected to the emergency power supply inside the curtain wall cleaning drone.

[0040] Crank 9, one end of crank 9 is mounted on the output end of drive motor 8;

[0041] The swing plate 10 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 5 at its middle part. The swing plate 10 has a sliding groove and the end of the swing plate 10 has a fan-shaped tooth 11.

[0042] Guide groove 12 is installed on the side end of the fixed frame 5, and a sliding ring 13 is slidably installed in the guide groove 12;

[0043] Slider 14 is rotatably mounted on the other end of crank 9, and slider 14 is also slidably disposed in slide groove and sliding ring 13;

[0044] Gear 15 is mounted on the rotating shaft 6 and meshes with the sector teeth 11 on the swing plate 10.

[0045] Working process and principle: In this embodiment, during use, one of the power supply units 3 supplies power to the drone load. If the power supply unit 3 malfunctions, the drive motor 8 is quickly started, causing its output end to drive the crank 9 to rotate. The slider 14 at the other end of the crank 9 drives the sliding ring 13 to slide along the direction of the guide groove 12. The fan-shaped teeth 11 on the swing plate 10 drive the gear 15 and the rotating shaft 6 to rotate synchronously. Then, the rotating plate 4 drives the mounting brackets 2 on both sides to complete the position exchange, so that the power supply unit 3 on the other side, which is not malfunctioning, can continue to supply power to the drone load.

[0046] During the rotation of the shaft 6, the lower jet head 7 will also rotate synchronously, thereby causing the airflow ejected by the jet head 7 to form a fan-shaped area to blow away the mist generated during the cleaning process of the drone and ensure the smooth switching of the load line.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the upper end of the mounting box 1 is equipped with a cover plate. When the curtain wall cleaning drone is not in use, the inside of the mounting box 1 can be cleaned and maintained by removing and installing the cover plate.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the fixed frame 5 has an avoidance opening, and the rotation path of the crank 9 is placed within the range of the avoidance opening to prevent the crank 9 from contacting the fixed frame 5 during rotation and affecting the position interchange of the mounting frame 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the sliding ring 13 has two symmetrical limiting grooves 16 in the middle. When the slider 14 is placed in the two limiting grooves 16, the rotating shaft 6 rotates 180 degrees to ensure that the two power supply bodies 3 can switch positions with high precision.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a bidirectional support plate 17, and the power supply body 3 is placed between the bidirectional support plates 17 to avoid power failure when the drone's control trajectory is complex.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a pressure plate 18 is detachably installed on the upper end of the bidirectional abutment plate 17. The pressure plate 18 abuts against the upper end of the power supply body 3, further enhancing the secure installation of the power supply body 3.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples; within the framework of the present invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0053] This utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
