Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), specifically a protective device for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, are aircraft that do not require direct human control. They utilize advanced remote control technology, autonomous flight control systems, and sensor technology to perform various tasks in the air, and are mostly used in agriculture, rescue, and inspection fields. Currently, drones can be used to carry visual inspection devices to inspect high-strength bolts in bridge construction to prevent safety accidents caused by loosening or fatigue.

[0003] Currently, when using drones to inspect bridge structures, the cameras have poor protective performance and usually lack self-cleaning capabilities. Dust, oil, fingerprints, and other contaminants adhere to the camera surface, causing image blurring, reduced contrast, or light spots, thus affecting the accuracy of feature extraction and defect identification. Furthermore, because the cameras are fixed and cannot be adjusted, dynamic multi-angle inspection is not possible, affecting the inspection results and making it difficult to adapt to various inspection scenarios. Therefore, to address the above problems, a visual inspection device based on bolt inspection is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and solve the problems of poor protection performance and inability to take pictures from multiple angles in existing technologies, this utility model proposes a protective device for drones.

Connecting blocks 907 are fixedly connected to both sides of the brush plate 906. A sliding sleeve rod 908 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 907. A sleeve is fitted on the surface of the sliding sleeve rod 908. The sliding sleeve 909 has one end that passes through the cleaning housing 901 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning housing 901. By setting up the cleaning mechanism 9, the second motor 902 is turned on to drive the rotating disk 903 to rotate and push the brush plate 906 to reciprocate, which can clean the oil and water stains on the surface of the camera 14, avoiding the problem of low detection efficiency and inaccurate detection caused by the blurry lens of the camera 14. At the same time, the first motor 6 can be turned on to drive the screw 7 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 7 drives the screw sleeve 8 on the surface to move, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the adjusting housing 11. This achieves the purpose of multi-angle adjustment of the camera 14, which facilitates the improvement of detection accuracy.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The bottom of the mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to two connecting plates 15, and the bottom of the connecting plates 15 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped frame 16.

[0031] Working principle: The user turns on the first motor 6, which drives the screw 7 to rotate. The screw 7 drives the screw sleeve 8 to move for adjustment. The screw sleeve 8 drives the sliding rod 10 to move. The sliding rod 10 slides in the inner cavity of the adjustment shell 11, which causes the adjustment shell 11 to rotate left and right. The adjustment shell 11 drives the rotating frame 13 and the camera 14 to rotate for adjustment. The shooting range of the camera 14 can be adjusted from multiple angles to achieve the purpose of multi-angle shooting. When it is necessary to clean the lens of the camera 14, the second motor 902 can be turned on. The second motor 902 drives the rotating disk 903 to rotate. The rotating disk 903 drives the rotating rod 904 to rotate. The rotating rod 904 drives one end of the push rod 905 to rotate. The other end of the push rod 905 drives the brush plate 906 to move up and down. The movement of the brush plate 906 cleans the lens of the camera 14, avoiding the problem of low detection efficiency and inaccurate detection caused by the blurry lens of the camera 14, and improving the accuracy of drone detection.
