Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power engineering technology, and in particular to solar-powered line warning lights. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, transmission and distribution lines are a crucial component. These lines traverse numerous and complex areas, and in certain special zones (such as crossing mountains or construction sites), the lines are close to the ground, buildings, or people, posing potential safety hazards. Especially at night, when visibility is limited, warning lights are essential to alert and alert people to the dangers posed by these lines.
[0003] The drawbacks of existing technology are:
[0004] (1) Existing warning products for power transmission and distribution lines usually use hanging signs, reflective strips / boards, insulating sleeves, etc., which cannot serve as warnings at night.
[0005] (2) Existing power transmission and distribution line warning products require the use of large equipment such as aerial work platforms, which results in high installation costs. Moreover, aerial work platforms cannot reach many areas, making installation impossible. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model proposes a solar-powered line warning light that can provide nighttime warning at high-altitude lines. It uses a monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel for photovoltaic charging and a battery for energy storage, and can be used for 7 consecutive cloudy days. It can also be installed by drone, making it easy to install.
[0007] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A solar-powered line warning light, comprising a horizontally placed prism with spring clips, two clamping arms of spring clips (1) respectively installed on the two opposite sides of the prism, a photovoltaic panel (2) installed on the side of the prism inside the spring clips; a light source (3) for emitting warning light is installed on the side of the prism outside the spring clips. When the warning light is hung on the line with the spring clips (1), the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel faces upward and the light-emitting surface of the light source faces downward.
[0009] The photovoltaic panel is connected to the battery inside the warning light to charge it.
[0010] The light source is a red LED light source.
[0011] The light source is connected to the control panel inside the warning light.
[0012] The prism is a quadrangular prism, and a limiting piece is installed on the side edge of the outer side of the spring clip. When the warning light is hung at the line in a stable, centered position through the spring clip, the limiting piece (4) is vertically located at the bottom of the warning light.
[0013] The warning light also includes a mounting bracket for mounting the warning light on a drone. The mounting bracket is a Y-shaped bracket, including a support rod at the bottom, a U-shaped limiting groove in the middle, and two fixing arms at the top. One fixing arm has a deep groove with the opening facing downwards, and the other fixing arm has a shallow groove with the opening facing downwards. The mounting bracket is supported on the top of the drone by the support rod at the bottom.
[0014] When the warning light to be hung is placed on the mounting bracket, the limiting plate of the warning light is placed in the U-shaped limiting groove.
[0015] The spring clip (1) includes a wide arm and a narrow arm. When the warning light to be hung is placed at the Y-shaped bracket, the wide arm is inserted into the deep groove; the narrow arm is inserted into the shallow groove, so that the spring clip is in the open state.
[0016] When the drone is equipped with the warning light, it flies upward so that the prism area of the warning light contacts the line. The pressure of the line on the warning light causes the wide and narrow arms of the spring clip to slide out from the deep and shallow slots of the bracket. Under the elastic force of the spring clip, the wide and narrow arms close and hold the line, hanging the prism part of the warning light horizontally below the line.
[0017] The available drone models include the DJI Phantom 4, DJI M300, or DJI M350.
[0018] This utility model of a solar-powered warning light can achieve a nighttime warning function. It uses a monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic panel for photovoltaic charging and a battery for energy storage, and can be used for 7 consecutive cloudy days.
[0019] This invention can be mounted on a drone, making installation simple. Attached Figure Description

[0026] As shown in the figure, the solar line warning light includes a horizontally placed prism with spring clips. Two clamping arms of spring clips (1) are installed on the opposite sides of the prism. A photovoltaic panel 2 is installed on the side of the prism inside the spring clips. A light source 3 for emitting warning light is installed on the side of the prism outside the spring clips. When the warning light is hung on the line with the spring clips 1, the light-receiving surface of the photovoltaic panel faces upward and the light-emitting surface of the light source faces downward.
[0027] The photovoltaic panel is connected to the battery inside the warning light to charge it.
[0028] The light source is a red LED light source.
[0029] The light source is connected to the control panel inside the warning light.
[0030] The prism is a quadrangular prism, and a limiting piece is installed on the side edge of the outer side of the spring clip. When the warning light is hung at the line in a stable, centered position through the spring clip, the limiting piece 4 is vertically located at the bottom of the warning light.
[0031] The warning light also includes a mounting bracket for mounting the warning light on a drone. The mounting bracket is a Y-shaped bracket, including a support rod at the bottom, a U-shaped limiting groove in the middle, and two fixing arms at the top. One fixing arm has a deep groove with the opening facing downwards, and the other fixing arm has a shallow groove with the opening facing downwards. The mounting bracket is supported on the top of the drone by the support rod at the bottom.
[0032] When the warning light to be hung is placed on the mounting bracket, the limiting plate of the warning light is placed in the U-shaped limiting groove.
[0033] The spring clip 1 includes a wide arm and a narrow arm. When the warning light to be hung is placed at the Y-shaped bracket, the wide arm is inserted into the deep groove; the narrow arm is inserted into the shallow groove, so that the spring clip is in the open state.
[0034] When the drone is equipped with the warning light, it flies upward so that the prism area of the warning light contacts the line. The pressure of the line on the warning light causes the wide and narrow arms of the spring clip to slide out from the deep and shallow slots of the bracket. Under the elastic force of the spring clip, the wide and narrow arms close and hold the line, hanging the prism part of the warning light horizontally below the line.
[0035] The available drone models include the DJI Phantom 4, DJI M300, or DJI M350.
[0036] Example:
[0037] In this example, the solar-powered warning light is mounted using a drone and a bracket, utilizing commonly used drones such as the DJI Phantom 4, DJI M300, and DJI M350.
[0038] The installation includes the following steps;
[0039] A. The wide side of the warning light spring clip is installed on the fixed arm, and the spring clip is adjusted to be located in the middle of the constant beam;
[0040] B. The warning light is placed in the U-shaped limiting groove, and the warning light limiting piece is stuck in the limiting groove;
[0041] C. The wide arm of the warning light spring clip is installed on the deep groove of the bracket, and the narrow arm is installed on the shallow groove of the bracket.
[0042] D. After installation, the drone can apply force to the limiting plate through the U-shaped groove at the mounting bracket to adjust the position of the lamp so that it can be hung in the center to stabilize the center of gravity of the lamp.
