Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a drone inspection device for pipeline inspection, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pipeline inspection drone structure 1 includes a first drone shell 11, on which a support rod 12 and a support assembly 15 are fixed. The support assembly 15 is located below the support rod 12, and a collision avoidance flight assembly 13 is fixed on the support rod 12. Both the first drone shell 11 and the collision avoidance flight assembly 13 are inlaid with ranging radar bodies 14. The collision avoidance flight assembly 13 includes a first support block 131, on which a collision avoidance rotor is fixed. The anti-collision rotor cover 132 has a drive motor 133 fixed inside, and a rotor body 134 is rotatably connected to the drive motor 133. A protective net 135 is detachably installed on the upper side of the anti-collision rotor cover 132. The support component 15 includes a hollow connecting pipe 151, in which a first electric telescopic rod 152 is embedded. An anti-slip base 153 is fixed on the lower side of the first electric telescopic rod 152. The walking component 16 includes a drive component 161, which drives the track body 162 to rotate.

[0027] The first drone shell 11 contains a control device and a battery. The control device controls the overall equipment inside the drone, and the battery ensures that the entire drone is powered normally.

[0028] Specifically, there are four sets of anti-collision flight components 13, which are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the first UAV shell 11. There are also four sets of ranging radar bodies 14, which are respectively embedded on the front and rear sides of the first UAV shell 11 and on the two sets of support rods 12, thereby playing the role of obstacle avoidance.

[0029] Furthermore, both the support assembly 15 and the walking assembly 16 are provided in two sets. The two sets of support assemblies 15 and walking assemblies 16 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the first UAV shell 11. The support assembly 15 is provided between the walking assemblies 16. A pressure sensor is embedded in the anti-slip base 153. The pressure sensor is model CYYZ11. The driving component 161 includes a motor and a gear set. The motor drives the track body 162 to rotate through the gear set, thereby driving the pipeline inspection UAV to move.

[0030] In the above scheme, the drive motor 133 is started with the assistance of the control device inside the first UAV shell 11. With the assistance of the drive motor 133, the rotor body 134 inside the anti-collision rotor cover 132 rotates, thereby driving the entire device to take off. The protective net 135 is set to prevent sand and gravel from falling and damaging the rotor, causing unnecessary losses. With the assistance of the ranging radar body 14, ranging and obstacle avoidance are performed. If landing is required, the anti-slip base 153 is moved downward with the assistance of the first electric telescopic rod 152 inside the hollow connecting pipe 151. When the anti-slip base 153 is in contact with the ground, the pressure sensor inside the anti-slip base 153 detects the pressure, and the anti-collision flight component 13 stops working, and the entire UAV lands on the ground. If land use is required, the entire UAV detection device is moved by the track body 162 with the assistance of the drive component 161, so that it can be used on both land and air at the same time, improving the practical performance of the UAV detection device for pipeline inspection.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a waste disposal structure 2 and a camera assembly 3 are fixed on the structure 1 of the pipeline inspection drone. The waste disposal structure 2 includes a sliding assembly 21, a clamping assembly 22 is fixed on the sliding assembly 21, and a squeezing assembly 23 is provided on the rear side of the clamping assembly 22. The sliding assembly 21 includes a motor housing 211, in which a motor drives a screw 212 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 212 causes the slider 214 to slide left and right on the sliding support plate 213. The clamping assembly 22 includes a small robotic arm body 221, on which a mechanical gripper body 222 is fixed. The squeezing assembly 23 includes a pressure frame 231, inside which a second electric telescopic rod 232 is fixed on the upper side. A squeezing plate 233 is fixed on the lower side of the second electric telescopic rod 232. A filter screen 234 is provided on the lower side of the squeezing plate 233.

[0032] Among them, the motor in the motor box 211 is a stepper motor, which is existing technology;

[0033] Specifically, there are two sets of the second electric telescopic rod 232, and the two sets of the second electric telescopic rod 232 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the extrusion plate 233;

[0034] In the above scheme, the stepper motor in the motor housing 211 drives the screw 212 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 212 causes the slider 214 to slide left and right in the groove opened on the sliding support plate 213, thereby driving the mechanical gripper body 222 on the small manipulator body 221 to adjust its position. With the assistance of the mechanical gripper body 222, the garbage is clamped and placed on the filter screen 234 in the pressure frame 231. With the assistance of the second electric telescopic rod 232, the extrusion plate 233 is driven to extrude the garbage on the filter screen 234, thereby reducing the weight of the entire UAV detection device.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the camera assembly 3 is located on the front side of the waste treatment structure 2. The camera assembly 3 includes a rotator body 31. A third electric telescopic rod 32 is detachably installed on the lower side of the rotator body 31. A connecting plate 33 is detachably installed on the lower side of the third electric telescopic rod 32. A camera body 34 is detachably installed on the lower side of the connecting plate 33.

[0036] A stepper motor is fixed on the connecting plate 33. The stepper motor drives the camera body 34 to rotate on the connecting plate 33. The connecting plate 33 is arranged in an inverted U-shape. An illumination lamp is provided on the camera body 34 to serve as auxiliary lighting.

[0037] In the above scheme, with the assistance of the rotator body 31, the camera body 34 is rotated by the third electric telescopic rod 32 and the connecting plate 33. With the assistance of the third electric telescopic rod 32, the camera body 34 is adjusted in height by the connecting plate 33.

[0038] Working principle: When using this drone inspection device for pipeline inspection, the drone inspection device is driven to perform amphibious operations through the setting of pipeline inspection drone structure 1, the garbage disposal structure 2 is set to process the garbage inside the pipeline, and the camera component 3 is set to monitor the internal environment of the pipeline in real time.
