[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The following describes an embodiment of this utility model based on its overall structure.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a drone inspection equipment mounting device, including a drone body 1, a mounting frame 2 connected to the bottom of the drone body 1, a protective shell 3 fixed to the top of the mounting frame 2, a fixed base for mounting the inspection equipment at the bottom of the mounting frame 2, a servo motor 4 installed at one end of the protective shell 3, a lead screw 5 installed inside the protective shell 3, one end of the lead screw 5 connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 4, symmetrically arranged moving blocks 6 on the lead screw 5, and a positioning clamping assembly 7 connected to the bottom of the moving blocks 6 through the mounting frame 2. The positioning clamping assembly 7 includes a sliding frame 71, a first adjusting screw 72, a clamping block 73, a second adjusting screw 74, and a top plate 75. A protective assembly 8 is connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 71, and a fall-prevention net 84 can catch fallen parts, providing double protection in conjunction with the positioning clamping assembly 7.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lead screw 5 is provided with two sections of threads with opposite directions, and the moving block 6 is symmetrically arranged on the two sections of threads. The connection between the mounting frame 2 and the protective housing 3 is provided with a guide groove that matches the moving block 6. The moving block 6 passes through the guide groove and is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 71. The lead screw 5 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 4, so that the moving block 6 slides along the guide groove, thereby driving the sliding frame 71 to move relative to each other and adjusting the distance between the sliding frames 71.

[0029] The sliding frame 71 is arranged in an L-shape with opposite sides. The first adjusting screw 72 is threadedly connected to the sliding frame 71, and one end of the first adjusting screw 72 is connected to the clamping block 73. The second adjusting screw 74 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the sliding frame 71, and one end of the second adjusting screw 74 is connected to the top plate 75. By rotating the second adjusting screw 74, the top plate 75 is raised so that it contacts the bottom of the inspection equipment. A silicone pad is provided on the top surface of the top plate 75 to prevent damage to the outer shell of the inspection equipment.

[0030] The sliding frame 71 has a groove on one side that is larger than the clamping block 73. The upper and lower ends of the clamping block 73 are slidably connected in the groove by a slider. The clamping block 73 has an arc-shaped clamping groove. When the outer wall of the inspection equipment is arc-shaped, a pressure sensor is embedded in the arc-shaped clamping groove of the clamping block 73. The pressure sensor is connected to the controller on the UAV body 1. When the clamping block 73 clamps the inspection equipment, the pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time and feeds the data back to the controller. If the clamping force does not reach the preset value, the controller controls the servo motor 4 to continue working, so that the clamping block 73 clamps further, ensuring that the equipment is firmly fixed.

[0031] The protective assembly 8 includes a connecting housing 81, a winding shaft 82, an extension belt 83, and a fall arrest net 84. The connecting housing 81 is fixed at the bottom of the sliding frame 71. The winding shaft 82 is connected inside the connecting housing 81 by a torsion spring and bearings. The extension belt 83 is located at both ends of the fall arrest net 84. The two ends of the winding shaft 82 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting housing 81 by bearings. The torsion spring is wound around the two ends of the winding shaft 82, and one end of the torsion spring is fixed to the winding shaft 82, while the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting housing 81.

[0032] The fall protection net 84 is placed horizontally below the sliding frame 71 and is made of high-strength polyethylene fiber. The two ends of the fall protection net 84 are wrapped around the winding shaft 82 by extension tapes 83. The extension tapes 83 are made of high-strength nylon webbing. Limiting points are set between the ends of the extension tapes 83 and the winding shaft 82. When the spacing of the sliding frame 71 is adjusted, the two ends of the fall protection net 84 are wound or unwound on the winding shaft 82 by the extension tapes 83, ensuring that the fall protection net 84 can always be placed horizontally below the sliding frame 71, thereby improving the applicability of the fall protection net 84.

[0033] The servo motor is existing technology and will not be described in detail. This invention also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail either. The wiring diagram of the motor in this invention is common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is already known technology. The appropriate model should be selected based on actual use; therefore, the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.

[0034] The working principle and process of the drone inspection equipment mounting device: The inspection equipment is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 2. The servo motor 4 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, causing the moving block 6 to slide along the guide groove, which in turn moves the sliding frame 71 relative to it, so that the sliding frame 71 contacts the side of the inspection equipment and fixes it in place. Then, the second adjusting screw 74 drives the top plate 75 to contact the bottom of the inspection equipment, improving the security of fixing the inspection equipment from multiple directions. When the outer wall of the inspection equipment is curved, the second adjusting screw 74 drives the clamping block 73 to slide in the groove of the sliding frame 71, so that the clamping block... 73 fits into the outer wall of the inspection equipment through the arc groove, adapting to the fixing of inspection equipment with different shapes, preventing the inspection equipment from shaking when the drone is flying. During the drone's flight, the fall protection net 84 can catch any falling parts, and together with the positioning and clamping assembly 7, it provides double protection, improving the safety of drone inspection. When the spacing of the sliding frame 71 is adjusted, the two ends of the fall protection net 84 are wound or unwound at the winding shaft 82 through the extension strap 83, ensuring that the fall protection net 84 can always be placed horizontally under the sliding frame 71, improving the applicability of the fall protection net 84.
