Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection technology, specifically relating to a transceiver platform for power line inspection UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are advanced unmanned autonomous aerial vehicles. UAVs integrate image recognition and information processing, involving flight control technology, airframe stability control technology, and data link communication technology. This enables UAVs to operate autonomously at high altitudes, over long distances, and at high speeds. They can traverse mountains and rivers to quickly inspect power transmission lines, performing full-spectrum rapid imaging and fault monitoring of overhead line towers, supports, conductors, insulators, vibration dampers, tension clamps, and suspension clamps. However, during inspections, UAV pilots need to manually operate the aircraft, the number of UAVs that can be launched at one time is limited, and the UAVs also require manual charging, reliance on remote weather analysis, and flight status monitoring by fixed environmental status scanners. This makes power line inspections time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency.

[0003] A new drone transceiver platform is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transceiver platform for power line inspection drones, which solves the technical problem of low inspection efficiency of drones in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows:

[0006] A transceiver platform for a power line inspection drone includes a platform plate. A weather platform, a status scanner, a parking limiter, and a status monitor are mounted on the top of the platform plate. The weather platform and status scanner are integrated vertically on a fixed rod on one side of the top of the platform plate. The parking limiter is located in the middle of the top of the platform plate and is columnar. The parking limiter includes a locator and a charging slider. The locator is located at the top of the parking limiter, and the charging slider is located in the middle of the parking limiter. The status monitor is located on the other side of the top of the platform plate. The weather platform, status scanner, locator, charging slider, and status monitor are communicatively connected.

[0007] Preferably, wheels are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the platform plate.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a launch and reception platform for a power line inspection drone, including a platform plate 1. A lightweight platform plate can be used to reduce material usage and meet environmental protection requirements. A weather platform 2, a status scanner 3, a parking limiter 4, a status monitor 5, and a drag bar 6 are installed on the top of the platform plate 1. The weather platform 2 and the status scanner 3 are integrated vertically on a fixed rod 7 on one side of the top of the platform plate 1. There are two weather platforms 2 and two status scanners 3, symmetrically arranged on the two horizontal bars of the fixed rod 7. Figure 2As shown, the parking limiter 4 is located at the center of the top of the platform plate 1 and is columnar. In practical applications, the columnar shape of the parking limiter 4 can be set as a cylinder or a cuboid as needed, and the central structure of the UAV 10 is also set to a matching shape accordingly. The parking limiter 4 includes: a locator 4-1 and a charging slider 4-2. The top of the parking limiter 4 is conical, specifically a cone shape. The locator 4-1 is located at the head of the cone and is a radar locator. The charging slider 4-2 is located in the middle of the parking limiter 4. In practical applications, in order to fix the UAV in the middle of the parking limiter 4, a contact piece can also be set in the middle of the parking limiter 4 to limit the landing position of the UAV and prevent the UAV from shaking and causing damage. When the UAV takes off, the contact piece retracts, allowing the UAV to take off smoothly. Four parking limit switches 4 are symmetrically positioned at the center of the top of the platform plate 1. Each parking limit switch 4 can be placed according to specific application requirements, accommodating multiple drones 10. Each drone 10 is charged via a charging slider 4-2. Two status monitors 5 are present. The positioner 4-1 and charging slider 4-2 of every two parking limit switches 4 are connected to one status monitor 5 via a transmission line 8. The transmission line 8 is a photoelectric composite transmission cable, shielded from interference signals by an external interference shielding layer. Optical fiber and conductive copper wire are integrated into the same cable. The charging slider 4-2 is connected to the battery via the conductive copper wire. The optical fiber utilizes the principle of total internal reflection for high-speed, high-capacity data signal transmission, offering advantages such as large bandwidth, low loss, and long transmission distance. The conductive copper wire transmits DC power, supplying power to various devices. Both coexist harmoniously within the same cable, ensuring that optical and electrical signals do not interfere with each other, achieving "dual-purpose" transmission of both data and electrical energy. The number of parking limit switches 4 and other structures can be increased as needed during specific applications. The status monitor 5 is located on the other side of the top of the platform plate 1; the meteorological platform 2 and the status scanner 3 are communicatively connected to the status monitor 5. Specifically, the meteorological platform can be a power transmission line meteorological monitoring and early warning platform, which can monitor meteorological parameters such as wind direction, humidity, wind speed, air pressure, and rainfall around the equipment and in the line area, and transmit the collected data to the status monitor in real time for early warning. The status scanner 3 can be a lidar scanner. Wheels 9 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the platform plate 1. Specifically, the wheels 9 are self-locking omnidirectional wheels. A tow bar 6 is installed on the side of the status monitor at the top of the platform plate 1 for fixing the platform plate 1 to the inspection vehicle.

[0022] The working process of a power line inspection drone's transceiver platform in actual power line inspection is as follows:

[0023] By fixing the inspection vehicle to the tow bar 6 in the transceiver platform of the power inspection drone, the inspection vehicle drives the wheels 9 of the transceiver platform to rotate. When the transceiver platform reaches the designated inspection position, the wheels 9 are locked, fixing the transceiver platform in the designated position. Drone 10 launch process: The meteorological platform 2 collects meteorological data of the inspection environment and sends it to the status monitor for analysis and processing. When the flight environment of the drone 10 is met, the status monitor sends a control command to the parking limit switch 4, causing the drone 10 to detach from the parking limit switch 4 and perform power inspection according to the set inspection route. At this time, the status scanner 3 scans the status of the drone 10 and sends it to the status monitor for analysis and processing. When an anomaly is detected, a recall command is issued to the drone 10 and an anomaly report is generated for relevant personnel. Drone 10 recovery process: When drone 10 completes its inspection task or experiences an abnormal status, the status monitor issues a recovery command to drone 10. Drone 10 determines its landing position based on the locator 4-1 of the parking limiter 4. At this time, the status monitor controls the charging slider 4-2 of the parking limiter 4 to contact drone 10 and begin charging. In practical applications, the drone 10's battery level can also be segmented by setting a threshold to avoid frequent charging and damage to the battery.

[0024] The status scanner 3 detects, but is not limited to, takeoff status, landing status, drone 10 battery level, and propeller status. This data is transmitted to the status monitor 5 for analysis and judgment, which in turn controls the charging slider 4-2 in the parking limit switch 4. When the drone 10 experiences an abnormal status, the status monitor 5 can also alert relevant personnel via an alarm.

[0025] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
