[0002] With the continuous expansion of the photovoltaic industry, the demand for the construction and maintenance of photovoltaic power plants is increasing. During the installation, replacement, and troubleshooting of photovoltaic panels, traditional handling methods rely on manual labor combined with large machinery such as cranes and forklifts. However, the mobility of cranes and forklifts is limited in photovoltaic power plants with complex terrain. For example, in mountainous and hilly areas, the roads between photovoltaic arrays are narrow and rugged, making it difficult for large equipment to pass. Furthermore, operating this equipment requires specialized personnel, resulting in high costs. In addition, manual handling of photovoltaic panels is labor-intensive, inefficient, and carries the risk of panels falling and being damaged, especially when installed at heights, posing significant safety hazards. Therefore, drones are often used for lifting. However, traditional drone-based rapid photovoltaic panel lifting devices are unstable during transport, easily swaying and causing safety issues during rapid lifting, resulting in poor practicality. Therefore, this utility model provides a drone-based rapid photovoltaic panel lifting device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a rapid photovoltaic panel hoisting device based on a drone. The device includes a drone body 100. The drone body 100 has two U-shaped connecting frames 200 mounted on its bottom, with a connecting rod connecting the two U-shaped connecting frames 200. Each U-shaped connecting frame 200 is connected to a first connecting rope 201, which is an elastic rope. The other end of the first connecting rope 201 is fixedly connected to a suction cup bracket 400, on which a suction cup bracket 400 is mounted. There are multiple vacuum suction cups 405, and a control box 300 is installed on the top of the suction cup bracket 400. Auxiliary mechanisms 500 are installed on the four corners of the suction cup bracket 400. The vacuum suction cups are used to adsorb photovoltaic panels, which have the characteristics of strong adsorption force and firm fixation, which can effectively prevent photovoltaic panels from shifting or falling during hoisting, greatly improving the safety of hoisting. The suction cup bracket is also adjustable and suitable for hoisting photovoltaic panels of different specifications and shapes. The suction cup bracket is also equipped with auxiliary mechanisms, including auxiliary hooks. During transportation, the auxiliary hooks can hook the bottom of the photovoltaic panel to enhance the stability of the photovoltaic panel.
[0020] The auxiliary mechanism 500 includes a rotary motor 501, a support column 502, a fixed ring 503, a rotating ring 504, and an auxiliary hook 505. The support column 502 is installed at the four corners of the suction cup bracket 400. A fixed ring 503 is fixedly installed at one end of the support column 502. The rotary motor 501 is installed on one side of the fixed ring 503. The output shaft of the rotary motor 501 passes through the fixed ring 503 and is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 504. An auxiliary hook 505 is fixedly installed on the rotating ring 504. A rubber pad is provided on the side of the auxiliary hook 505 near the photovoltaic panel. The support column is installed at the four corners of the suction cup bracket, and its two sides are fixedly connected to the suction cup crossbeam 401 and the suction cup longitudinal beam 402, respectively. The other side of the first connecting rope 201 is fixedly connected to the support column. After the vacuum suction cup adsorbs the photovoltaic panel, the rotary motor is started. The output shaft of the rotary motor is connected to the rotating ring through a gearbox, causing the rotating ring to rotate and drive the auxiliary hook on the rotating ring to rotate, so that the auxiliary hook rotates to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel and abuts against the photovoltaic panel, thereby enhancing the stability of the photovoltaic panel during transportation. The auxiliary hook has a rubber pad on the side close to the photovoltaic panel to increase friction with the photovoltaic panel and protect it.
[0021] The suction cup bracket 400 includes a suction cup crossbeam 401 and a suction cup longitudinal beam 402. There are three suction cup crossbeams 401, and each pair of suction cup crossbeams 401 is connected to a suction cup longitudinal beam 402 at both ends. The suction cup longitudinal beam 402 is a telescopic rod. Vacuum suction cups are installed at both ends of the suction cup crossbeams. Manual telescopic rods 403 are installed between the two sides of the fixing frame 301 and the suction cup crossbeams 401. When the manual telescopic rods are manually adjusted, the telescopic rods can also be extended, thereby adjusting the suction cup bracket to make it suitable for the hoisting of photovoltaic panels of different specifications and shapes.
[0022] The control box 300 includes a controller and a vacuum pump electrically connected to the controller. The vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum suction cup 405 via a pipeline. The control box 300 also includes a pressure display gauge 303 and a suction cup alarm light 304 electrically connected to the controller. The controller is also electrically connected to a rotary motor 501. The control box 300 also includes a power supply for various electrical components. A power switch is provided on the control box. The suction cup pipeline is connected to a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the vacuum suction cup. The controller sets a pressure alarm value. When the pressure of the vacuum suction cup is lower than the pressure alarm value, the controller controls the suction cup alarm light to flash.
[0023] The control box 300 is installed on the top of the suction cup beam 401, and a fixing frame 301 is installed outside the control box 300. The fixing frame 301 is connected to the "U"-shaped connecting frame 200 through the second connecting rope 302; the second connecting rope 302 is a high-strength rope.
[0024] The suction cup beam 401 is provided with a plurality of fixing sleeves 404 for fixing pipes; this facilitates the limiting and fixing of the pipes.
[0025] The photovoltaic panel rapid hoisting device also includes a remote controller 600 that is wirelessly connected to the controller; the remote controller is also equipped with a display screen for displaying the vacuum suction cup pressure, a vacuum suction cup release button, and an auxiliary mechanism switch button; the hoisting device can control the suction and release process of the photovoltaic panel through the remote controller.
[0026] Work process:
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The drone body 100 places the vacuum suction cup 405 onto the photovoltaic panel. The vacuum pump is then activated to create a vacuum within the vacuum suction cup 405, generating a strong suction force that firmly adheres it to the photovoltaic panel. Next, the rotary motor 501 is activated. The output shaft of the rotary motor 501 is connected to the rotating ring 504 via a gearbox, causing the rotating ring 504 to rotate. This rotation drives the auxiliary hook 505 on the rotating ring 504 to rotate, bringing the auxiliary hook 505 to the bottom of the photovoltaic panel and abutting it, thus enhancing the stability of the photovoltaic panel during transportation. When releasing the photovoltaic panel, the rotary motor 501 first rotates the auxiliary hook 505 upwards, removing it from the photovoltaic panel, and then the vacuum suction cup 405 lowers the photovoltaic panel.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
