[0024] It should be noted that the two sides of the high-speed fan 42 are fixedly connected with the mounting frame 41 by bolts, and the mounting frame 41 is welded and fixed with the mounting platform 2.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the gas outlet end of the high-speed fan 42 is connected with a gas collecting cover 43, and the gas outlet end of the gas collecting cover 43 is connected with a gas conveying pipe 44.

[0026] It should be noted that the gas collecting cover 43 is fixedly connected with the high-speed fan 42 by bolts, the gas outlet end of the gas collecting cover 43 is flange-connected with the gas inlet end of the gas conveying pipe 44, and the material of the gas conveying pipe 44 is plastic pipe, which is convenient for bending.

[0031] The working principle of the insulator live-line drying and cleaning equipment based on the unmanned aerial vehicle is as follows:

[0032] By pouring liquid into the inside of the liquid tank 31 through the water inlet 33, and then closing the cap, the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 drives the mounting platform 2 to fly to the vicinity of the insulator, controls the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1 to drive the water pipe 35 to adjust the direction, so that the water pipe 35 and the gas conveying pipe 44 are aligned with the insulator, and the user starts the high-power water pump 32 on the mounting platform 2 through the control handle, so that the high-power water pump 32 extracts the liquid in the inside of the liquid tank 31, enters the inside of the water pipe 35 through the connecting pipe 34 and the hose 10, and finally sprays from the nozzle of the water pipe 35 to flush the insulator. The flushing angle refers to the angle between the water column and the center axis of the equipment to be flushed. The flushing angle is preferably greater than or equal to 60°. The insulator is flushed from bottom to top. For the vertically installed insulator string, the insulator should be flushed from bottom to top. For the strain insulator string, the insulator on the live part should be flushed first, then moved piece by piece, and finally the insulator on the ground end (tower cross arm) is flushed. During flushing, due to the change of voltage distribution, sparks may be generated at the place with high voltage. At this time, the water column can be directly aimed at the spark to extinguish the spark. The flushing water column should not be flushed to the equipment with poor sealing and defects, and the water column should not be aimed at the moving and static contact of the isolating switch to avoid the accident caused by flushing the knife switch. After the water cleaning is completed, the air drying can be started. By controlling the high-speed fan 42, the airflow is concentrated by the gas collecting cover 43 and sprayed from the gas outlet of the gas conveying pipe 44 to spray the insulator. The high-speed fan 42 can generate a thrust of 6-8 kg when working, and can blow dry the residual water droplets at a distance of 2-3 meters from the insulator. The air volume and direction can be remotely controlled.

[0033] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application.
