Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection drone technology, specifically to a cableway inspection drone. Background Technology

[0002] A cableway is an aerial passageway built between two places using steel cables. It is usually used for transportation. Its core function is to use steel cables suspended in mid-air to support and pull vehicles, so as to achieve rapid movement of people or goods.

[0003] Chinese patent CN222272348U discloses a boiler inspection drone, including a drone body and a mounting frame. The mounting frame has a bolt limiting assembly at its bottom, which detachably connects the mounting frame to the drone body. The mounting frame is equipped with a storage tank, a pressurizing pump, and a spray pipe. The storage tank has a discharge port with a solenoid valve at its bottom. The pressurizing pump is connected to both the storage tank and the spray pipe. The solenoid valve and the pressurizing pump are connected to the drone body. This invention enables remote control of the spraying operation by controlling the opening and closing of the pressurizing pump and the solenoid valve through the drone body. The pressurizing pump pressurizes the paint before spraying it through the spray pipe, resulting in uniform and effective spraying. This operation solves the problem of existing inspection drones being unable to mark defect locations during boiler inspections. The paint markings sprayed through the spray pipe allow for quick identification of the repair location, facilitating maintenance operations.

[0004] However, the above technical solution only involves using a drone to move to the defective location to spray paint. But if it is applied in a cableway environment, when the mist paint is sprayed out by a pressurized pump, the strong wind in the valley will cause the paint to scatter, resulting in paint flying and sticking to the camera. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a cableway inspection drone.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A cableway inspection drone includes a drone body with two supporting legs connected to it, and a camera mounted on the drone body; a marking component connected to the drone body; in use, the marking component sprays paint to coat the cableway; and a protective component connected to the drone body, which includes a fixed ring, a rotating ring, a connecting rod, splicing plates, and a limiting shaft. The fixed ring and the rotating ring are arranged parallel to each other front and back. Multiple limiting rods are connected to the side of the fixed ring near the rotating ring. The rotating ring has limiting grooves that cooperate with the limiting rods. Multiple splicing plates are rotatably connected to the limiting shaft, which is connected to the fixed ring. Both ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the limiting rods and the splicing plates, respectively. In use, the rotating ring rotates, driving the multiple splicing plates to rotate around the limiting shaft through the connecting rod. The splicing plates are spliced ​​together to form a central baffle or unfolded to form a circular notch.

[0007] Preferably, the protective assembly also includes a telescopic device, one end of which is rotatably connected to a support rod, the support rod being connected to the camera, and the telescopic end of the telescopic device being rotatably connected to a connecting plate, the connecting plate being connected to a rotating ring; and cleaning components, which are set on the splicing plate, the number of cleaning components corresponding to the number of splicing plates.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed ring has an annular receiving groove, which is rotatably connected to the rotating ring, and the side wall of the fixed ring has a notch for the connecting rod to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning component includes a metal substrate and brushes. The metal substrate is connected to a mounting groove in the splicing plate, and multiple brushes are connected to a retaining ring receiving groove. The brushes are slidably connected to the metal substrate.

[0010] Preferably, the marking component includes a paint can connected to the main body of the drone, the paint can being arranged parallel to the camera, and a discharge pipe and a discharge nozzle installed on the paint can; and a pressure pump connected to the discharge pipe.

[0011] Preferably, all splicing panels are connected with sealing gaskets.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting legs of the drone body are U-shaped or triangular, and the supporting legs are fitted with anti-slip sleeves.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] In this invention, when marking with spray paint, multiple splicing plates can be folded together to form a complete protective plate, preventing paint from flying and sticking to the camera. During normal operation, they can be unfolded to form a circular notch to provide conditions for the camera to shoot. When the splicing plates are folded together and unfolded, they rub against the brush, causing the metal substrate to become statically charged. This static electricity is used to attract dust and reduce the interference of dust on image quality. Attached Figure Description

The limiting shaft 8 is connected to the fixed ring 4. The two ends of the connecting rod 6 are rotatably connected to the limiting rods and the splicing plates 7, respectively. In the use state, the rotating ring 5 rotates, which drives the multiple splicing plates 7 to rotate around the limiting shaft 8 through the connecting rod 6. The splicing plates 7 are spliced ​​to form a central baffle or unfolded to form a circular notch.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figures 2-5As shown, the cableway inspection drone proposed in this utility model, compared with Embodiment 1, describes the detailed structure of the protective component. The protective component also includes a telescopic device 9, a support rod 10, a connecting plate 11, and a cleaning component 12. One end of the telescopic device 9 is rotatably connected to the support rod 10, and the support rod 10 is connected to the camera 3. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 11, and the connecting plate 11 is connected to the rotating ring 5. The telescopic device 9 is selected from, but is not limited to, an electric push rod. The cleaning component 12 is set on the splicing plate 7, and the number of cleaning components 12 corresponds to the number of splicing plates 7.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the cleaning component 12 includes a metal substrate 14 and brushes 15. The metal substrate 14 is connected to a mounting groove opened on the splicing plate 7, and a plurality of brushes 15 are connected to a receiving groove 13 of the fixing ring 4. The brushes 15 are slidably connected to the metal substrate 14.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the fixed ring 4 has an annular receiving groove 13, which is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 5 bearing, and the side wall of the fixed ring 4 has a notch through which the connecting rod 6 passes.

[0027] Example 3

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a cableway inspection drone. Compared with Embodiment 2, this embodiment describes the detailed structure of the marking component. The marking component includes a paint tank 16, a discharge pipe 17, a discharge nozzle 18, and a pressure pump 19. The paint tank 16 is connected to the drone body 1 and is arranged parallel to the camera 3. The discharge pipe 17 and the discharge nozzle 18 are installed on the paint tank 16, and the pressure pump 19 is connected to the discharge pipe 17.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, each of the splicing panels 7 is connected to a sealing gasket; the sealing gasket is made of, but is not limited to, rubber and silicone, and is connected to the contact portion between the splicing panel 7 and the adjacent splicing panel 7 to prevent the spray from contacting the lens portion of the camera 3.

The paint is pressurized by the pressurizing pump 19 and then sprayed onto the cableway. At the same time, controlling the valve to start or stop will activate the telescopic device 9. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 9 pushes the connecting plate 11 to rotate the rotating ring 5 within the fixed ring 4. When the fixed ring 4 rotates, it will drive one end of the connecting rod 6 to rotate, causing the other end to pull the splicing plate 7 to rotate around the limiting shaft 8, closing the unfolded splicing plate 7 to prevent external fog-like paint from contacting the camera. At the same time, the metal substrate 14 on the splicing plate 7 is closer to the camera, and its static electricity can attract some dust, reducing the impact of dust on the image. After the spraying is completed, the telescopic device 9 flips over, and the closed splicing plate 7 unfolds. During the rotation, the metal substrate 14 rubs against the brush 15 to generate static electricity to attract dust.
