Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically relating to a UAV for inspecting the dam area of ​​a pumped storage power station. Background Technology

[0002] Reservoir inspection mainly involves conducting inspections and observations of reservoir projects, performing daily maintenance on reservoir projects and their ancillary equipment, ensuring the normal operation of reservoir facilities, and promptly detecting, stopping, and reporting illegal activities within the reservoir's management and protection area. Traditional manual inspection methods are difficult to inspect more management areas within a limited time, so inspection drones are currently mostly used for inspection work.

[0003] While using drones for inspection improves efficiency, some high-definition cameras are fixedly mounted on the surface of the drone body and lack telescopic features. Furthermore, there is no way to protect the high-definition cameras, making them susceptible to damage from external factors. This shortens the lifespan of the equipment, reduces its practicality, and is detrimental to actual application and operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art and provide a pumped storage power station dam area inspection drone that uses a telescopic storage method to protect the high-definition camera, reduce damage, and extend its service life.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A pumped storage power station dam area inspection drone includes a fuselage, four arms and four support legs. Each of the four arms is equipped with a rotor. The fuselage is also equipped with a camera and a protective case. The camera can be retracted and stored in the protective case. The four support legs are equipped with anti-slip buffer structures.

[0007] Furthermore, the protective box is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the body, and a normally closed protective door is provided on the protective box. A push rod driven by a power source is provided inside the protective box. The camera is detachably fixed to the end of the push rod. A mounting plate is also provided on the push rod, and a connecting rod is provided on the mounting plate. The connecting rod is in contact with the normally closed protective door.

[0008] Furthermore, a mounting base is provided at the end of the push rod, and the camera can be detachably fixed to the mounting base.

[0009] Furthermore, the normally closed protective door is connected to the housing of the protective box by a hinge, and a torsion spring is installed on the hinge.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-slip buffer structure includes anti-slip buffer pads on all four support legs.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-slip buffer pad is provided with a sliding column, and a limiting block is provided on the sliding column. Each of the four support legs is provided with an inner cavity, and a limiting groove is provided on one side wall of the inner cavity. A compression spring is provided in the inner cavity, the sliding column is inserted into the inner cavity and contacts the compression spring, and the limiting block cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0012] This utility model discloses a pumped storage power station dam area inspection drone, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0013] 1. The fuselage arms provide support for the propeller. When the propeller is started, the camera performs flight operations. During operation, the push rod inside the protective box is driven by the power source. The push rod drives the mounting plate and mounting base to move synchronously (extend). When the connecting rod contacts the normally closed protective door, the normally closed protective door is opened, and the camera extends out of the protective box to inspect and collect information about the pumped storage power station dam area. When the push rod returns to its original position, the camera is stored in the protective box, and the normally closed protective door automatically closes to provide protection and prevent damage to the camera.

[0014] 2. When the anti-slip buffer pad comes into contact with the ground, the weight of the machine body itself is used to compress it through the compression spring, and the limiting block slides in the limiting groove, so that the sliding column can be adjusted in the inner cavity accordingly, preventing the side roll-over phenomenon due to the uneven ground when landing on rough roads.

[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] like Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, this utility model relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for inspecting the dam area of ​​a pumped storage power station. It includes a fuselage 1, four arms 101 and four support legs 102 mounted on the fuselage 1. Each of the four arms 101 is equipped with a rotor 1011. The fuselage 1 also includes a camera 1038 and a protective case 103. The camera 1038 is retractable and retractable within the protective case 103. The four support legs 102 are equipped with anti-slip buffer structures. The protective case 103 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the fuselage 1. The protective case 103 has a normally closed protective door 1033. A power-driven push rod 1034 is installed inside the protective case 103. The camera 1038 is detachably fixed to the end of the push rod 1034. The push rod 1034 also has a mounting plate 1035, and a connecting rod 1036 is mounted on the mounting plate. The connecting rod 1036 contacts the normally closed protective door 1033. The end of the push rod 1034 is provided with a mounting base 1037, and the camera 1038 is detachably fixed to the mounting base 1037. The normally closed protective door 1033 is connected to the box body of the protective box 103 by a hinge 1031, and a torsion spring 1032 is provided on the hinge 1031.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotor 101 is supported by the arm 101 on the fuselage 1. When the rotor 1011 is started, it performs flight operations. When the push rod 1034 inside the protective box 103 is working, it drives the mounting plate 1035 and the mounting base 1037 to move synchronously. The camera 1037 (or other camera equipment) is installed with the help of the mounting base 1037. When the connecting rod 1036 contacts the normally closed protective door 1033, the normally closed protective door 1033 is opened by the elastic force provided by the torsion spring 1032, so that the camera 1038 can extend out of the protective box 103 to perform inspection and information collection work on the pumped storage power station dam area. When the push rod 1034 is reset, the camera 1038 is retracted and stored to provide protection. The power to extend and retract the push rod 1034 is generally a motor. The motor and the push rod can be assembled as a whole, such as an electric push rod or an electric cylinder, which can be purchased directly from the market. The camera 1038 (or other video recording equipment) can be detachably fixed to the mounting base 1037. When not in use, the camera 1038 (or other video recording equipment) can be removed from the mounting base and stored separately to ensure that the camera is not damaged and to extend the camera's service life.

[0025] Furthermore, the anti-slip buffer structure includes anti-slip buffer pads 1027 on each of the four support legs 102. A sliding post 1024 is provided on each anti-slip buffer pad 1027, and a limiting block 1026 is provided on each sliding post 1024. Each of the four support legs 102 has an inner cavity 1021, and a limiting groove 1022 is provided on one side wall of the inner cavity 1021. A compression spring 1023 is provided in the inner cavity 1021. The sliding post 1024 is inserted into the inner cavity 1021 and contacts the compression spring 1023. The limiting block 1026 cooperates with the limiting groove 1022.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the anti-slip buffer pad 1027 on the slide column 1024 comes into contact with the ground, the compression spring 1023 is compressed by the weight of the machine body, which drives the limiting block 1026 on the slide column 1024 to move on the limiting groove 1022. The position is adjusted accordingly in coordination with the flatness of the ground to prevent the machine from tipping over due to the uneven ground when landing on a rough road.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
