[0002] With the rapid expansion of my country's ultra-high-voltage power grid and the surge in demand for new energy grid connection, power line inspection work faces unprecedented challenges. Traditional manual inspection methods suffer from drawbacks such as low efficiency and numerous blind spots, especially when dealing with potential hazards such as foreign objects splicing on lines or damaged insulators, which are often difficult to detect in a timely manner. Although drone inspection technology has gradually become more widespread, current drone inspections rely on handheld terminals for operation. Drone operators need to frequently look down to check data while operating the inspection drone, which distracts their attention, affects operation, and easily leads to safety accidents. In addition, in scenarios where multiple drone operators work together, current technology relies on walkie-talkies or handheld terminals to transmit fault point marking information. Coordinates and locations cannot be synchronized to all members' operating terminals in real time, resulting in team response delays. This lack of coordination limits the effectiveness of large-scale power line inspection tasks. Utility Model Content

[0028] like Figure 1As shown, an intelligent helmet for power drone inspection in this embodiment includes a helmet body 3; the helmet body 3 is provided with a display module, an antenna module 4, a main control module 5, and a power supply module, wherein the display module is located at the front of the helmet body 3 and is connected to the helmet body 3 via an electric telescopic rod 2; the antenna module 4 is connected to the main control module 5 for communication with external devices; the main control module 5 is connected to the display module; and the power supply module supplies power to each power module through internal wires.

[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the main control module 5 is located at the rear end of the helmet body 3. The rear end of the helmet body 3 has a mounting groove 5-3, and aluminum alloy slide rails are provided on two opposite side walls of the mounting groove 5-3. The main control module 5 has aluminum alloy sliding grooves 5-2 on both sides that match the slide rails. During installation, the main control module 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 5-3 from top to bottom, and the aluminum alloy sliding grooves 5-2 are aligned with the aluminum alloy slide rails to precisely position the main control module 5 in the mounting groove 5-3. To effectively fix the main control module 5, a cover can be provided at the top of the mounting groove 5-3; or an elastic buckle can be provided between the main control module 5 and the mounting groove 5-3 (this structure is not shown in the accompanying drawings of this utility model, but can be set according to conventional methods of the prior art). To facilitate connections with the power supply module and display module, a main flexible circuit board 11 is installed inside the helmet. The main control module 5 is connected to the main flexible circuit board 11 via a multi-pin connector and cable 10. The main pin connects to the main control module 5, and branches into multiple pins after passing through the main flexible circuit board 11, connecting to other main functional modules. The power supply module and display module are also connected to the main flexible circuit board 11, enabling communication and power supply between modules. The main control module 5 is also equipped with a display screen 5-1, which can display operating parameters in real time, facilitating real-time monitoring of the main control module 5's operation during power inspections and ensuring its normal and stable operation during these inspections.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the display module is a transparent OLED display screen 1, which is connected to the helmet body 3 via an electric telescopic rod 2. The electric telescopic rod 2 is connected to the helmet body 3 via a pivot, and a swing drive motor 9 for driving the electric telescopic rod 2 to swing up and down is connected to the pivot. The transparent OLED display screen 1 is connected to the main flexible circuit board 11 via a branch flexible cable. The flexible cable is laid along the inside of the electric telescopic rod 2. One end of the cable is soldered to the drive board of the transparent OLED display screen 1, and the other end is connected to the display interface on the main flexible circuit board 11 via a multi-pin connector.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the left side of the helmet body 3 is equipped with a three-dimensional four-way button 7 for controlling the electric telescopic rod 2 and the swing drive motor 9, allowing operators to quickly locate the buttons through tactile perception. The electric telescopic rod 2, the swing drive motor 9, and the four-way button 7 are all connected to the main flexible circuit board 11. The left and right buttons of the four-way button 7 control the forward and backward movement of the electric telescopic rod 2, while the upper and lower buttons control the forward and reverse operation of the swing drive motor 9, thereby controlling the display screen 5-1 to move at multiple angles with the rotating shaft. This allows inspection personnel to accurately, safely, and quickly adjust the distance between the transparent OLED display screen 1 and their eyes, as well as the angle of the transparent OLED display screen 1, according to the site conditions, thus avoiding damage to the device or contamination of the screen due to manual adjustment. Furthermore, when the drone pilot does not need to view the transparent OLED display screen 1, the transparent OLED display screen 1 can be rotated upwards for a better field of vision.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the antenna module 4 includes a signal transmission base 4-1, an arched antenna array 4-2, and a signal receiving device 4-3. The antenna module 4 is disposed on the top of the helmet body 3, and the top of the helmet body 3 is provided with a cylindrical groove 4-5, in which the signal transmission base 4-1 is embedded.

[0033] The bottom of the signal transmission base 4-1 is provided with multiple conical metal contacts 4-4, and the bottom of the cylindrical groove 4-5 is provided with multiple conical countersunk holes 4-6 that match the conical metal contacts 4-4. Each conical countersunk hole 4-6 has a gold-plated contact at its bottom, which is connected to the RF input port of the main flexible circuit board 11 via a coaxial cable, and then connected to the main control module 5. When installing the antenna module 4, the conical metal contacts 4-4 and the conical countersunk holes 4-6 serve to guide the installation, enabling the antenna module 4 to be accurately positioned and installed. When the antenna module 4 is installed, the conical metal contacts 4-4 and the gold-plated contacts come into contact, completing the connection between the antenna module 4 and the main control module 5. The antenna module is then fixed by magnetic attraction or elastic clips, thereby preventing the antenna module 4 from falling off during field inspection work, preventing communication interruption due to accidental contact during inspection operations, and ensuring the stability of the UAV collaborative inspection data stream.

[0034] The arched antenna array 4-2 is a high-density integrated eleven-element arched antenna array, deployed in a cylindrical carrier above the signal transmission base 4-1. It adopts an integrated design, which improves the problem of excessive extension of traditional antennas. At the same time, by integrating multiple antennas in a smaller volume, the signal reception capability of this helmet is further optimized.

[0035] The signal receiving device 4-3 is a signal receiving disk. It adopts a disk-shaped structure design, which effectively increases the receiving aperture and significantly optimizes the longitudinal space occupation problem of traditional whip antennas. The signal receiving disk also integrates a 5G chip, which can better receive the signals transmitted back by the drone.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the power supply module includes a rechargeable ring-shaped lithium battery 6. The ring-shaped lithium battery 6 has a waterproof charging port 6-1 in the center, enabling reuse and ensuring charging safety. An annular groove matching the size of the ring-shaped lithium battery 6 is provided on the right side of the helmet body 3. The ring-shaped lithium battery 6 is concealed within the annular groove, which helps reduce the helmet's size and weight, making it easier to carry.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the helmet body 3 is equipped with an adaptive chin strap, on which a pressure sensor 8-1 and an adaptive adjustment buckle 8-2 are mounted. The strap is made of shape memory alloy. When the helmet is powered on, the adaptive adjustment buckle 8-2 dynamically maintains the pressure parameter of the pressure sensor 8-1 by continuously tightening or loosening the strap, ensuring a comfortable tightness between the strap and the face. The adaptive chin strap 8 can also conform to the contours of the face, effectively improving comfort during extended helmet wear.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the helmet body 3 is configured with a double-layer structure, with an interlayer space 3-3 between the outer layer 3-1 and the outer layer 3-2. The main flexible circuit board 11 and the connecting cables 10 between the various modules are housed within this interlayer space 3-3. The main flexible circuit board 11 can be installed to adapt to the curvature of the helmet interlayer. The outer layers 3-2 and 3-1 of the helmet body can be connected by a detachable connection structure, for example, by screws 3-4, to facilitate opening the interlayer space 3-3 and allowing for easy installation and wiring of the internal main flexible circuit board 11 and wiring.

[0039] When the smart helmet of this invention is in operation, the signal receiving disk receives signals transmitted back by the drone. These signals include key information such as infrared thermal imaging data, equipment temperature distribution, fault location information, drone spatial coordinates, and remaining flight information. These signals are transmitted to the main control module 5 via the main flexible circuit board 11. The main control module 5 parses the data, generates visualization instructions, and sends them to the transparent OLED display screen 1. The transparent OLED display screen 1 supports split-screen dual-mode display. Mode 1: Real-time inspection view, simultaneously displaying the equipment temperature distribution heat map generated by the infrared thermal imaging transmitted by the drone, the drone's real-time flight range, flight direction and spatial coordinates, and the dynamic flight path planning map between the fault point and the drone's position. Mode 2: Supports real-time sharing of spatial annotation information by multiple drone pilot terminals; the main control module 5 interconnects with other devices equipped with the same model of smart helmet via a 5G network, synchronizing the drone's spatial coordinates and the marked power equipment fault location information and fault point coordinates to the interconnected helmet's transparent OLED display screen 1 in real time, realizing information sharing and collaboration.
