Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drone, specifically a novel intelligent power line inspection drone, belonging to the field of power line inspection drone technology. Background Technology
[0002] A drone is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. The core feature of a drone is that it has no pilot on board and is controlled by remote control or autonomous flight system. Drones can fly within the atmosphere and rely on a power unit to generate thrust or pull, and wings or rotors to generate lift. Drones are widely used in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, surveying and mapping, news reporting, power line inspection and other fields.
[0003] Power line inspection drones patrol transmission lines to check for illegal buildings, debris covering the lines, and any abnormalities in external equipment. However, because power lines carry current, drones may accidentally touch the lines during flight, potentially damaging the drones. To address these issues, we have developed a new type of intelligent power line inspection drone. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a novel intelligent power line inspection drone, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0005] A novel intelligent power grid inspection drone includes a drone body with two symmetrical isolation nets made of polyethylene on its exterior. Connecting rods are attached to the inner walls of both nets, with a clamping plate connected to the end of each rod furthest from the net. Two symmetrical card holders are connected to the outer surface of the drone body, with the outer surface of the card holder contacting the inner wall of the card holder. Ears are attached to the outer surface of the drone body, with positive and negative lead screws rotatably connected to the inner wall of each ear. A positioning mechanism is provided outside the positive and negative lead screws, and a threaded seat is threaded to the outer surface of each lead screw. Swing arms are rotatably connected to both ends of the threaded seat, with a clamping seat rotatably connected to the end of each swing arm furthest from the threaded seat. The inner wall of the clamping seat contacts the outer surface of the card holder.
[0006] Preferably, a support plate is connected to one side of the clamp, and a slide is connected to the upper surface of the inspection drone body, with the inner wall of the slide slidably connected to the outer surface of the support plate.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the positive and negative lead screw is connected to a four-corner head, and the inner wall of the four-corner head contacts the crank handle.
[0008] Preferably, the inner side of the card plate is provided with a card slot, the inner wall of the clamp is connected with a card block, and the outer surface of the card block is in contact with the inner wall of the card slot.
[0009] Preferably, one side of one of the isolation nets is connected to a positioning pin, and the inner side of the other isolation net is provided with a positioning groove, the inner wall of the positioning groove being in contact with the outer surface of the positioning pin.
[0010] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a sliding sleeve, one side of which is connected to one side of the ear seat. A sleeve is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. A chuck is connected to one end of the sleeve located outside the sliding sleeve. A chuck is connected to the outer surface of the positive and negative lead screws. The outer surface of the chuck is in contact with the outer surface of the chuck.
[0011] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the positive and negative lead screws, one end of the spring is connected to the inner bottom wall of the sliding sleeve, and the other end of the spring is connected to the inner top wall of the sleeve.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This new type of intelligent power inspection drone uses the cooperation between the isolation net, the card holder, and the clamp to wrap the card plate inside, maintain the stability of the isolation net, prevent the isolation net from detaching and contacting the inspection drone body, and wrap the inspection drone body inside with two isolation nets to block the inspection drone body from contacting the power transmission line, thereby improving the safety of the drone body.
[0014] 2. This new type of intelligent power inspection drone uses the cooperation between spring, chuck one, and chuck two. The spring provides a pushing force to chuck one, pushing chuck one into tight contact with chuck two, increasing the friction between chuck one and chuck two, and preventing the positive and negative screws from loosening during the flight of the inspection drone, thus preventing them from failing to provide support to the clamp. The mutual restraint between chuck one and chuck two improves the stability of the positive and negative screws. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-6 A novel intelligent power line inspection drone includes a drone body 1. Two isolation nets 2 are installed on the outside of the drone body 1. The two isolation nets 2 are symmetrical and made of polyethylene. The two isolation nets 2 wrap the drone body 1 inside, forming an isolation barrier to prevent the drone body 1 from contacting the power transmission line. The polyethylene material has good insulation properties, and when the isolation nets 2 come into contact with the power transmission line, they prevent the power transmission line from contacting the drone body 1.
[0024] Both isolation nets 2 have connecting rods 3 connected to their inner walls. The end of the connecting rod 3 away from the isolation net 2 is connected to a clamping plate 4. The connecting rod 3 creates a gap between the isolation net 2 and the inspection drone body 1, providing space for the propeller on the inspection drone body 1 to rotate.
[0025] The outer surface of the inspection drone body 1 is connected to two card holders 5, and the two card holders 5 are symmetrical. The outer surface of the card plate 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the card holder 5. The card plate 4 is wrapped inside by the card holder 5 and the clamp 11 to maintain the stability of the isolation net 2. When the isolation net 2 needs to be removed, the movable clamp 11 disengages from the card plate 4 and stops restricting the card plate 4.
[0026] The outer surface of the inspection drone body 1 is connected to a lug 6. The inner wall of the lug 6 is rotatably connected to a positive and negative lead screw 7. The lug 6 provides support for the positive and negative lead screw 7 and maintains the stability of the positive and negative lead screw 7. The outer surface of the positive and negative lead screw 7 is threadedly connected to a threaded seat 9. By rotating the positive and negative lead screw 7, the threaded seat 9 is powered to move. Both ends of the threaded seat 9 are rotatably connected to a swing arm 10. The end of the swing arm 10 away from the threaded seat 9 is rotatably connected to a clamp 11. The inner wall of the clamp 11 is in contact with the outer surface of the clamping plate 4. When the threaded seat 9 moves, it pushes the swing arm 10 to move and change its angle. The movement of the swing arm 10 and the change of its angle push the clamp 11 to move. By moving the position of the clamp 11, the clamping plate 4 is clamped and fixed and then released.
[0027] A support plate 12 is connected to one side of the clamp 11, and a slide 13 is connected to the upper surface of the inspection drone body 1. The inner wall of the slide 13 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the support plate 12. The support plate 12 provides support for the clamp 11, and the slide 13 wraps around the support plate 12 to maintain the stability of the support plate 12.
[0028] One end of the positive and negative lead screw 7 is connected to a four-corner head 14. The inner wall of the four-corner head 14 contacts the crank handle 15. The positive and negative lead screw 7 is connected to the crank handle 15 through the four-corner head 14. The crank handle 15 provides power for the rotation of the positive and negative lead screw 7. The crank handle 15 and the four-corner head 14 are connected by a plug-in connection. After the crank handle 15 is used, it is pulled out from inside the four-corner head 14 to prevent the crank handle 15 from interfering with the flight of the inspection drone.
[0029] The inner side of the card plate 4 is provided with a card slot 16, and the inner wall of the clamp 11 is connected to a card block 17. The outer surface of the card block 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the card slot 16. After the clamp 11 moves to a new position, it clamps the card plate 4 inside. When the card seat 5 moves to a new position, it drives the card block 17 to insert into the card slot 16, which increases the stability of the card plate 4 and prevents the card plate 4 from detaching from the card seat 5 and the clamp 11.
[0030] One of the isolation nets 2 is connected to a positioning pin 18 on one side, and the other isolation net 2 has a positioning groove 19 on its inner side. The inner wall of the positioning groove 19 is in contact with the outer surface of the positioning pin 18. The two isolation nets 2 are connected together by inserting the positioning pin 18 into the positioning groove 19, thereby improving the stability between the two isolation nets 2.
[0031] A positioning mechanism 8 is provided on the outside of the positive and negative lead screw 7 to maintain the stability of the positive and negative lead screw 7. The positioning mechanism 8 includes a sliding sleeve 801, one side of which is connected to one side of the lug 6. A sleeve 802 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 801. A chuck 803 is connected to one end of the sleeve 802 outside the sliding sleeve 801. A chuck 804 is connected to the outer surface of the positive and negative lead screw 7. The outer surface of the chuck 803 contacts the outer surface of the chuck 804. The sliding sleeve 801 maintains the stability of the sleeve 802 when it moves. Qualitatively, a spring 805 is sleeved on the outside of the positive and negative lead screw 7. One end of the spring 805 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the sliding sleeve 801, and the other end of the spring 805 is connected to the inner top wall of the sleeve 802. The spring 805 provides a pushing force for the chuck 1 803 and chuck 2 804 to contact each other, thereby increasing the friction between the chuck 1 803 and chuck 2 804 and preventing the positive and negative lead screw 7 from becoming loose during the flight of the inspection drone, thus preventing it from failing to provide support for the clamp 11. The mutual restraint between the chuck 1 803 and chuck 2 804 improves the stability of the positive and negative lead screw 7.
[0032] When using this utility model: First, pick up the isolation net 2 and align the card plate 4 with the card seat 5. Then, push the card plate 4 into the card seat 5. Next, insert the crank handle 15 through the isolation net 2 into the four corner heads 14. Then, turn the crank handle 15 to drive the four corner heads 14 to rotate. At the same time, the four corner heads 14 rotate and drive the positive and negative screws 7 to rotate. The rotation of the positive and negative screws 7 pushes the threaded seat 9 to move. The threaded seat 9 pushes the swing arm 10 to move. The swing arm 10 pushes the clamp 11 to move towards the card plate 4. Then, the clamp 11 tightly contacts the card plate 4, restricting the movement of the card plate 4. Then, install another isolation net 2 in the same way. The only difference is that when the two isolation nets 2 are connected, the positioning groove 19 needs to be aligned with the positioning pin 18.
[0033] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
