Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a quick-release payload compartment power inspection UAV. Background Technology
[0002] Power inspection drones are unmanned aerial vehicles specifically designed for inspecting power system facilities. Relying on their own GPS, drones fly along pre-planned routes, allowing them to approach power facilities at low altitudes and close range. Equipped with various sensors such as high-definition cameras and infrared thermal imagers, they can capture the operating status of power equipment in real time. They can also transport materials during the inspection process, facilitating on-the-ground maintenance of power equipment by personnel.
[0003] In current power line inspection work, with the increasingly widespread application of drones, the requirements for their cargo storage compartments are also getting higher and higher. When it is necessary to replace or replenish the items in the existing drone cargo storage compartments, the staff often have to spend a lot of time and energy to operate them. This not only reduces the inspection efficiency, but may also affect the timeliness of emergency maintenance tasks. At the same time, the connection strength between the cargo storage compartment and the drone is not strong enough. In complex flight environments, especially when encountering strong winds and airflow fluctuations, the cargo compartment is prone to shaking or even falling off. This will not only cause material loss, but may also cause the cargo compartment to fall and pose a safety threat to personnel and facilities on the ground. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release payload compartment power inspection drone, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A quick-release payload compartment power inspection drone includes a drone body with multiple propellers fixedly mounted on its outer side. A power supply box is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the drone body. Support legs are fixedly mounted on both sides of the drone body located on the power supply box. A pod is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the power supply box. Lugs are fixedly mounted on both sides of the pod, and a connecting beam is fixedly connected between two lugs. A storage box is provided at the lower end of the two connecting beams. Multiple inserts are fixedly mounted on the storage box, i.e., the storage box is movably mounted on the lower end of the connecting beam through the inserts. Limit pins are movably installed in the lugs and connecting beams, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected between two limit pins. A push rod is also inserted and installed inside the pod.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pod is provided with first shaft holes on both sides, which can provide guiding conditions for the installation of the push rod. The pod located above the ear seat is provided with an installation through groove, which can provide conditions for the installation of the connecting rod.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixing ring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the limiting pin, the limiting pin is inserted into the countersunk hole, and the lower end of the limiting pin extends through the countersunk hole and the second shaft hole and the third shaft hole to the bottom of the T-shaped guide rail. A compression spring is also fitted on the outer side of the limiting pin, and one end of the compression spring abuts against the fixing ring, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the lower end of the limiting ring. The limiting pin, through the fixing ring and with the help of the compression spring, can keep the lower end of the limiting pin always positioned below the T-shaped guide rail.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two push blocks are fixedly installed on the outside of the push rod, and the two countersunk holes are respectively located on one side of one of the connecting rods. By pushing the push rod, the two push blocks on the outside of the push rod can simultaneously lift the two connecting rods, thereby causing the two connecting rods to simultaneously lift the four limit pins, which can unlock the insert block inserted on the T-shaped guide rail.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, two L-shaped fixing blocks are fixedly installed on the insert block. A guide slope is provided on one side of the insert block, and a fourth shaft hole is provided in the middle of the insert block. The insert block is installed on the corresponding T-shaped guide rail through the two L-shaped fixing blocks. The lower end of the limiting pin is installed in the fourth shaft hole. The storage box can be quickly inserted into the T-shaped guide rail at the lower end of the two connecting beams with the help of the insert block, and the limiting pin can achieve quick positioning.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] In this utility model, a pod is provided at the lower end of the power supply box, and multiple ear seats are provided on both sides of the pod. A connecting beam and a T-shaped guide rail are provided at the lower end of the ear seats. Limiting pins are inserted and installed in the ear seats, connecting beam, and T-shaped guide rail.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a quick-release payload compartment power inspection drone, including a drone body 1, multiple propellers 2 fixedly installed on the outside of the drone body 1, a power supply box 3 fixedly installed at the lower end of the drone body 1, support legs 4 fixedly installed on both sides of the drone body 1 located at the power supply box 3, a pod 5 fixedly installed at the lower end of the power supply box 3, ear seats 6 fixedly installed on both sides of the pod 5, and a connecting beam 7 fixedly connected between the two ear seats 6, a storage box 24 provided at the lower end of the two connecting beams 7, multiple inserts 8 fixedly installed on the storage box 24, that is, the storage box 24 is movably installed at the lower end of the connecting beam 7 through the inserts 8, a limiting pin 9 is movably installed in the ear seats 6 and the connecting beam 7, and a connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected between the two limiting pins 9, and a push rod 11 is also inserted in the pod 5.
[0023] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the pod 5 has first shaft holes 13 on both sides, which provide guidance for the installation of the push rod 11. The pod 5 located above the ear seat 6 has an installation through groove 14, which provides conditions for the installation of the connecting rod 10. The ear seat 6 has a countersunk hole 15, and a limit ring 16 is threadedly connected to the upper inner side of the countersunk hole 15. The connecting beam 7 located below the ear seat 6 has a second shaft hole 19, and a T-shaped guide rail 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting beam 7. The T-shaped guide rail 12 located below the second shaft hole 19 also has a third shaft hole 20. A fixing ring 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the limit pin 9. The limit pin 9 is inserted into the countersunk hole 15, and the lower end of the limit pin 9 passes through the countersunk hole 15 and is connected to the second shaft hole 19 and the third shaft hole 20. The shaft hole 20 extends to the bottom of the T-shaped guide rail 12. A compression spring 18 is also fitted on the outside of the limiting pin 9. One end of the compression spring 18 abuts against the fixing ring 17, and the other end of the compression spring 18 abuts against the lower end of the limiting ring 16. With the help of the compression spring 18, the lower end of the limiting pin 9 can always be placed below the T-shaped guide rail 12. Two push blocks 25 are fixedly installed on the outside of the push rod 11, and two countersunk holes 15 are located on one side of one of the connecting rods 10. By pushing the push rod 11, the two push blocks 25 on the outside of the push rod 11 can simultaneously lift the two connecting rods 10, thereby lifting the four limiting pins 9 simultaneously, which can unlock the insert 8 inserted on the T-shaped guide rail 12.
[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, two L-shaped fixing blocks 21 are fixedly installed on the insert block 8. A guide slope 22 is provided on one side of the insert block 8. A fourth shaft hole 23 is provided in the middle of the insert block 8. The insert block 8 is installed on the corresponding T-shaped guide rail 12 through the two L-shaped fixing blocks 21. The lower end of the limiting pin 9 is installed in the fourth shaft hole 23. The storage box 24 can be quickly inserted into the T-shaped guide rail 12 at the lower end of the two connecting beams 7 with the help of the insert block 8, and the limiting pin 9 can achieve quick positioning.
[0025] It should be noted that this utility model is a quick-release payload compartment power inspection drone. When the storage box 24 needs to be installed, the push rod 11 is pressed first. Then, the push rod 11 moves in the first shaft hole 13 on both sides of the pod 5, and the two push blocks 25 on the outside of the push rod 11 simultaneously push the corresponding connecting rod 10 upward. Then, the two limit pins 9 on both sides of the connecting rod 10 are lifted, and the fixing ring 17 on the outside of the limit pin 9 moves upward in the corresponding countersunk hole 15 and compresses the compression spring 18. At this time, the insert block 8 on the storage box 24 is inserted. Align the T-shaped guide rail 12 at the lower end of the connecting beam 7, and quickly insert the insert 8 into the T-shaped guide rail 12 using the L-shaped fixing block 21 on the insert 8. After the four inserts 8 on the storage box 24 are inserted into place, the push rod 11 can be released. Under the action of the compression spring 18, the limiting pin 9 presses down on the fixing ring 17, so that the limiting pin 9 passes through the countersunk hole 15, the second shaft hole 19, and the third shaft hole 20, and is inserted into the fourth shaft hole 23 of the insert 8. Thus, the four limiting pins 9 simultaneously limit the insert 8, improving the stability of the storage box 24 installation.
[0026] When it is necessary to disassemble the storage box 24, push the push rod 11 inside the pod 5. The push block 25 on the outside of the push rod 11 will simultaneously lift the connecting rod 10. Since the two limit pins 9 are connected through the connecting rod 10, the rise of the connecting rod 10 will drive the four limit pins 9 to rise simultaneously, so that the lower end of the limit pin 9 disengages from the fourth shaft hole 23 of the insert 8, releasing the limit on the insert 8, and thus the storage box 24 can be removed from the T-shaped guide rail 12, achieving quick disassembly.
[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
