Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tension clamp testing equipment, specifically to an automated radiographic testing robot based on a drone. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the testing of tension clamps for power transmission lines mainly relies on personnel climbing to a height to place and hang the X-ray testing equipment on the tension clamp being tested, which has objective drawbacks such as a long testing cycle, safety hazards for personnel climbing to heights, and difficulty in obtaining approval for power outage operations.

[0003] Therefore, we propose to design an automated radiographic inspection robot based on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based automated X-ray inspection robot includes a power box, with a UAV attachment fixedly connected to the top of the power box. Both ends of the power box are equipped with motion pulleys. A wireless remote control motor corresponding to the motion pulley is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the power box. A single-split conductor is provided at the bottom of the motion pulley. A tension clamp is provided at the end of the single-split conductor. An insulator is provided outside the tension clamp.

Both the drive wheel and the driven wheel are sprockets. The drive wheel is driven to rotate by the wireless remote-controlled motor, and the chain drive drives the driven wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the motion pulley to move, thereby realizing the movement of the power box on the conductor.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the UAV-based automated X-ray inspection robot of this utility model, the UAV attachment has a "J"-shaped cross-section, which facilitates the UAV to hoist the UAV attachment.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the UAV-based automated X-ray inspection robot of this utility model, the UAV attachment and the fixed bracket are both made of carbon fiber, which is lightweight and can reduce the load weight of the UAV.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the UAV-based automated X-ray inspection robot of this utility model, a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the fixed bracket, and the motor drive shaft passes through the fixed bracket and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating imaging plate.

[0013] This invention, through the cooperation of a power box, a motion pulley, and a drone attachment, enables the use of a drone to mount a robot on a live conductor during live-line work. The robot is remotely controlled to move to the tension clamp using the power structure, and the rotation of the imaging plate is remotely controlled. The entire process is wirelessly controlled, eliminating the need for personnel to climb, greatly improving detection efficiency and eliminating safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, in actual manufacturing, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an automated X-ray inspection robot based on a drone, including a power box 1, with a drone attachment 2 fixedly connected to the top of the power box 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drone attachment 2 has a "J" shaped cross-section, which facilitates the drone to hoist the drone attachment 2.

[0024] Both ends of the power box 1 are equipped with motion pulleys 3. A wireless remote control motor 12 corresponding to the motion pulley 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the power box 1. A single-split conductor 9 is provided at the bottom of the motion pulley 3. A tension clamp 10 is provided at the end of the single-split conductor 9. An insulator 11 is provided on the outside of the tension clamp 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, the drive shaft of the wireless remote control motor 12 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 121, and the outer walls of the power box 1 are fixedly connected to both sides of the fixed frame 122. The motion pulley 3 passes through the fixed frame 122 and is fixedly connected to the driven wheel. The drive wheel 121 and the driven wheel are meshed together by a chain 123. Both the drive wheel 121 and the driven wheel are sprockets. The wireless remote control motor 12 drives the drive wheel 121 to rotate, and the chain 123 drives the driven wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the motion pulley 3 to move, thereby realizing the movement of the power box 1 on the wire.

[0026] The bottom of the power box 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed bracket 4. In this embodiment, both the drone attachment 2 and the fixed bracket 4 are made of carbon fiber, which is lightweight and can reduce the load weight of the drone.

[0027] A rotating imaging plate 6 is installed near the top inside the fixed bracket 4. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the fixed bracket 4. The drive shaft of the motor 5 passes through the fixed bracket 4 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating imaging plate 6. The imaging plate can rotate and move under the drive of the motor 5, which facilitates image acquisition.

[0028] The bottom of the fixed bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the flaw detector mounting plate 7, and the outside of the flaw detector mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the X-ray flaw detector 8.

[0029] In use, the drone's robotic arm first hooks onto the drone attachment 2, hoisting the power box 1 and its bottom equipment onto the single-split conductor 9. Then, ground personnel remotely control the robot to move to the detection position of the tension clamp 10 and remotely control the rotation of the rotating imaging plate 6 so that the X-ray flaw detector 8 is directly facing the imaging plate to take pictures.

[0030] The robot's main frame is made of carbon fiber, which is lightweight and reduces the weight of the drone, extending its flight time. It is equipped with two motion pulleys 3, and the drive wheels are driven by wireless remote control motors 12. The entire robot is powered by a centralized power supply and is remotely controlled from the ground. It can move on the conductor to the tension clamp 10. Compared with drones, it can adjust its position to the tension clamp 10 from beyond visual range, saving time, ensuring high safety, and making it convenient, accurate and efficient to operate.

[0031] In this embodiment, both the motor 5 and the wireless remote control motor 12 are equipped with corresponding remote control modules, which facilitates remote control operation of the start and stop by the staff. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
