[0002] Drone-based power line inspection is an advanced technology that utilizes drones equipped with high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and other equipment to automate the inspection of power lines via preset routes or manual remote control. This system can efficiently identify defects such as broken conductor strands, damaged insulators, and corroded hardware. Combined with AI image analysis, it achieves automatic defect identification and classification. Compared to traditional manual inspection, drone inspection efficiency is 5-8 times higher, and it can reach complex terrain areas inaccessible to personnel, significantly reducing the risks of high-altitude operations. Currently, the common method for power line inspection involves mounting image recognition devices on drones. However, the traditional method of connecting and fixing image recognition devices to ensure robustness makes the installation and disassembly of these devices cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model provides a mounting structure for an image recognition device for UAV line inspection, including a bottom frame 1, a top frame 2 above the bottom frame 1, an image recognition device 3 between the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2, connecting seats 4 at the front and rear ends of the left and right outer surfaces of the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2, connecting screws 5 between two corresponding connecting seats 4, connecting plates 6 are bolted to the left and right sides of the upper end of the top frame 2, a mounting plate 7 is provided at the upper middle position between the two connecting plates 6, a shock-absorbing seat 8 is bolted to the lower surface of the mounting plate 7 and the two connecting plates 6, and mounting seats 9 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 7.

[0018] In use, first place the image recognition device 3 on the bottom frame 1, and place the top frame 2 on the monitoring device 3. The bottom frame 1 is customized for the top frame 2. The connecting screw 5 passes through the connecting seat 4 set on the top frame 2 and the bottom frame 1, thereby clamping and fixing the image recognition device 3 through the top frame 2 and the bottom frame 1. The connecting plate 6 is fixed to the upper end of the top frame 2 with bolts, and the mounting plate 7 and the shock-absorbing seat 8 are fixed to the connecting plate 6 with bolts. The shock-absorbing seat 8 suppresses the vibration during the flight of the drone. The mounting seat 9 is set at the upper end of the mounting plate 7. The overall structure and the image recognition device 3 can be mounted under the drone by bolts passing through the mounting seat 9. The drone takes off carrying the image recognition device 3 and performs image recognition inspection of the line. When disassembling the overall structure and the image recognition device 3, simply loosen the bolts on the mounting seat 9 that are connected to the drone.

[0019] The mounting base 9 is integrally formed with the mounting plate 7 through a bending process. The mounting base 9 and the mounting plate 7 form a right-angled Z-shaped structure. A reinforcing plate 10 is provided between the mounting base 9 and the mounting plate 7. The mounting base 9 is provided with a through-hole mounting bolt 11. The integrally formed mounting base 9 and mounting plate 7, with the reinforcing plate 10, improve the connection strength between the mounting base 9 and the mounting plate 7. The bolt passes through the mounting bolt hole 11 on the mounting base 9, so it can be connected to the lower end of the drone.

[0020] Reinforcing seats 12 are provided on the front and rear sides of the connecting seat 4 and the outer surfaces of the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 to improve the connection between the connecting seat 4 and the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2. The upper and lower ends of the connecting screw 5 are threaded with connecting nuts 13. The connecting nuts 13 abut against the connecting seat 4. The connecting nuts 13 are threaded to the connecting screw 5 and tightened to abut against the connecting seat 4 to ensure the connection strength.

[0021] Both the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 are cuboid structures welded from right-angled profiles. The cuboid structure corresponds to the shape of the image recognition device 3, ensuring a firm fixation.

[0022] The side walls of both the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 2 are provided with weight-reducing grooves 14 to reduce the overall weight of the equipment and reduce the burden on the drone.
