Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power line inspection drones, and in particular to a power line inspection drone that is easy to assemble with batteries of different specifications. Background Technology

[0002] Power line inspection drones are aerial vehicles that utilize unmanned aerial vehicle technology and are equipped with various sensors and data acquisition devices, such as high-definition cameras and infrared thermal imagers, to conduct periodic or irregular inspections of power lines, towers, and other facilities. They can quickly reach designated locations and conduct comprehensive, thorough inspections of transmission lines and towers, offering advantages in both high efficiency and precise detection.

[0003] The drone's high-definition camera can clearly capture equipment details, while its infrared thermal imager can detect temperature anomalies and promptly identify potential hazards. Furthermore, the drone possesses autonomous flight capabilities, automatically performing inspection tasks along preset routes. Combined with artificial intelligence algorithms, it can analyze captured images and data in real time, automatically identifying equipment defects and abnormalities.

[0004] In practical applications, different brands and models of power inspection drones may use different battery standards and specifications, which makes it difficult to fix the battery in the battery slot and makes it difficult to achieve universality.

[0005] Specifically, drone battery slots are typically designed to be compatible with specific battery models to ensure secure installation and efficient power supply. However, when using batteries of different specifications or brands, issues may arise such as the battery not being securely fixed in the slot or poor contact between the slot and the battery, thus affecting the drone's flight performance and safety. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a power inspection drone that is easy to assemble with batteries of different specifications, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A power inspection drone that is easy to assemble with batteries of different specifications includes a drone body, a bracket, support rods and drone rotors. The bracket is installed at the lower end of the drone body, and four support rods are distributed at the four corners of the drone body. A drone rotor is installed on each support rod. A power inspection camera and an infrared sensing component are set at the lower end of the drone body.

[0009] A battery box is installed on the upper part of the main body of the drone, and a sealing cover is installed at the upper opening of the battery box. Multiple disassembly frames are provided at the lower end of the sealing cover and are stored in the battery box. A first isolation plate, a second isolation plate and a third isolation plate are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the disassembly frame. A first elastic clamping frame, a second elastic clamping frame and two third elastic clamping frames are installed in sequence from top to bottom in the formed isolation compartment.

[0010] A first battery is inserted into the first and second elastic clamping frames, and a second battery is inserted into the two third elastic clamping frames. The side wall of the disassembly frame forms a wiring groove, and the bundled wires of the first and second batteries extend into the wiring groove for organization and power supply to the drone.

[0011] A further alternative is that the first isolation plate, the second isolation plate, and the third isolation plate are integrated with the disassembly frame, and the first isolation plate, the second isolation plate, the third isolation plate, and the disassembly frame are made of high-temperature resistant metal;

[0012] In a further alternative, the end faces of the first, second, and third isolation plates are provided with embedding holes and heat dissipation holes, and the disassembly frame is fixed to the sealing cover with bolts. The battery inside the disassembly frame can be replaced by removing the sealing cover.

[0013] In a further alternative, the first, second, and third elastic bracing frames are made of elastic metal sheets, and the cross-sections of the first, second, and third elastic bracing frames are U-shaped. The first, second, and third elastic bracing frames are provided with heat-conducting columns, which extend through the isolation plate and disassemble the frame to achieve heat dissipation.

[0014] In a further alternative, the first elastic clamping frame, the second elastic clamping frame, and the third elastic clamping frame are all provided with elastic clamping strips. The elastic clamping strips are adapted to the recessed holes opened in the isolation plate, and the battery is fixed by the elastic clamping strips.

[0015] In a further alternative, the first and second batteries have different specifications, but the wire connectors of the first and second batteries have the same specifications. The wires are inserted into the wiring channel and fixed to the disassembly frame with cable ties.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The design of the detachable frame, isolation plate, and flexible clamping bracket allows the drone to flexibly assemble batteries of different specifications. Although the first and second batteries have different specifications, they can both be securely installed in the detachable frame. Furthermore, the standardized wire connector specifications and wiring channel design simplify the battery connection process and improve assembly efficiency.

[0018] This design ensures the stability and safety of the battery during flight. The flexible clamping frame is made of elastic metal sheet and features flexible clamping strips, which effectively clamp and secure the battery, preventing it from moving or falling off during flight. Meanwhile, the separator plate and disassembly frame are made of high-temperature resistant metal, further enhancing the equipment's safety performance.

[0019] The disassembly frame, separator, and flexible retaining bracket also work together to promote battery heat dissipation. The heat dissipation holes in the separator and disassembly frame, as well as the heat-conducting pillars on the flexible retaining bracket, help dissipate battery heat and extend battery life.

[0020] This design simplifies the battery replacement process. Since the disassembly frame is bolted to the sealing cover, and the battery can be pulled out from one side or pushed out from the bottom, the battery can be easily replaced without removing the connecting bolts between the disassembly frame and the sealing cover, improving drone maintenance efficiency.

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, a power line inspection drone that is easy to assemble with batteries of different specifications includes a drone body 1, a support frame 2, support rods 3, and drone rotors 4. The support frame 2 is installed at the lower end of the drone body 1, while four support rods 3 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the drone body 1. Each support rod 3 is equipped with a drone rotor 4 to provide power for flight. The lower end of the drone body 1 is also specially designed with a camera and infrared sensing components for power line inspection, facilitating accurate detection of power facilities.

[0030] The upper part of the drone body 1 is equipped with a battery box 5, and a sealing cover 6 is installed at the upper opening of the battery box 5. Multiple disassembly frames 7 are located at the lower end of the sealing cover 6. These disassembly frames 7 are housed inside the battery box 5 for easy battery installation and replacement. Inside the disassembly frames 7, from top to bottom, are a first isolation plate 8, a second isolation plate 9, and a third isolation plate 10, which together form multiple isolation compartments. Inside these isolation compartments, from top to bottom, are a first elastic clamping frame 11, a second elastic clamping frame 12, and two third elastic clamping frames 13.

[0031] A first battery 15 is inserted into the first elastic clamping frame 11 and the second elastic clamping frame 12, while a second battery 16 is inserted into the two third elastic clamping frames 13. The sidewalls of the disassembled frame 7 form a wiring channel 14, through which the bundled cables of the first battery 15 and the second battery 16 extend for organization, providing the necessary power to the drone. This design not only ensures a stable power supply to the batteries but also facilitates battery maintenance and replacement.

[0032] The first separator 8, the second separator 9, and the third separator 10 are integrated with the disassembly frame 7. They are all made of high-temperature resistant metal to ensure good performance and safety even in high-temperature environments. The end faces of the first separator 8, the second separator 9, and the third separator 10 are provided with recessed holes and heat dissipation holes. These designs help dissipate heat from the battery and extend its lifespan.

[0033] The disassembly frame 7 is bolted to the sealing cover 6. When the battery needs to be replaced, simply remove the sealing cover 6 to easily replace the battery inside the disassembly frame 7. This design simplifies the battery replacement process and improves the maintenance efficiency of the drone.

[0034] The first elastic clamping frame 11, the second elastic clamping frame 12, and the third elastic clamping frame 13 are made of elastic metal sheet with a "U"-shaped cross-section. This design effectively clamps and secures the battery, preventing it from moving or falling off during flight. Furthermore, the first elastic clamping frame 11, the second elastic clamping frame 12, and the third elastic clamping frame 13 are equipped with heat-conducting pillars that extend through the insulating plate and the disassembly frame 7, aiding in battery heat dissipation and ensuring the battery maintains good performance even after prolonged operation.

[0035] To further ensure battery stability and safety, the first elastic clamping bracket 11, the second elastic clamping bracket 12, and the third elastic clamping bracket 13 are all equipped with elastic clamping strips. These elastic clamping strips are adapted to the recessed holes in the separator plate, and the battery is secured by the elastic clamping strips. This design not only ensures the battery's robustness but also facilitates quick battery replacement.

[0036] It is worth noting that the first battery 15 and the second battery 16 have different specifications, but their wire connector specifications are the same. This means that regardless of the battery specification used, the wires can be inserted into the wiring channel 14 and secured to the disassembly frame 7 with cable ties, thereby simplifying the battery connection process and improving the assembly efficiency of the UAV.

[0037] Install bracket 2 at the lower end of drone body 1. Distribute four support rods 3 evenly at the four corners of drone body 1. Install drone rotors 4 on each support rod 3. Install a camera and infrared sensor assembly for power line inspection at the lower end of drone body 1. Install battery box 5 at the upper end of drone body 1, ensuring that the lower end of sealing cover 6 has multiple disassembly frames 7. Insert the first battery 15 into the first elastic clamping frame 11 and the second elastic clamping frame 12, and insert the second battery 16 into the two third elastic clamping frames 13. Organize the battery bundle wires into the wiring grooves 14 on the side wall of the disassembly frame 7, ensuring the wiring connections are correct. Secure the disassembly frame 7 to sealing cover 6 using bolts. Ensure that the elastic clamping strips on the first elastic clamping frame 11, the second elastic clamping frame 12, and the third elastic clamping frame 13 are adapted to the recessed holes in the separator plate to secure the batteries.

[0038] Remove the sealing cover 6 to expose the disassembly frame 7. Since the first battery 15 can be pulled out from one side and the second battery 16 can be pushed out from the bottom, it is not necessary to remove the connecting bolts between the disassembly frame 7 and the sealing cover 6. Inside the disassembly frame 7, loosen the elastic clamping strips on the first elastic clamping bracket 11, the second elastic clamping bracket 12, and the third elastic clamping bracket 13 in sequence. Remove the old battery (either the first battery 15 or the second battery 16). Insert the new battery into the corresponding elastic clamping bracket (the first elastic clamping bracket 11 and the second elastic clamping bracket 12 are for the first battery 15, and the two third elastic clamping brackets 13 are for the second battery 16). Ensure that the wire connector specifications of the new battery are compatible with the cable ties in the cable tray 14, and secure the wires. Finally, reinstall the sealing cover 6.
