Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically to a UAV motor replacement nest structure. Background Technology

[0002] The drone inspection adopts a combination of point inspection and area inspection, and has planned daily inspection routes and plans. It is mainly used to monitor key areas of the dam area, transmit image data to the inspection system, strengthen the inspection work in the dam area, formulate scientific and reasonable inspection plans, and adopt advanced detection technologies and equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the inspection work. Similarly, reservoir landslides are a common natural disaster. In order to detect landslide signs in a timely manner and reduce disaster risks, reservoir landslide inspection has become a crucial task. It is necessary to improve landslide monitoring capabilities through existing drone technology.

[0003] Traditional drone battery swapping systems require removing the landing pad when the drone lands, and then moving the drone into the swapping station after landing for battery swapping. However, since drones fly and operate outside, they inevitably pick up dust, rainwater, and other debris. If these contaminants get onto the battery during swapping, it may cause poor contact between the battery electrodes and connecting components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drone motor swapping nest structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drone motor swapping nest structure, comprising a nest body, on which a landing platform and a protective door are installed, and further comprising:

[0006] An air pump is fixedly installed on the top of the protective door, and a blower assembly is installed on the lower part of the protective door to blow away dust from the surface of the drone for cleaning.

[0007] A fixed housing is fixedly installed on the protective door, and an adjustment component for adjusting the working angle of the air blowing assembly is installed inside the fixed housing.

[0008] Preferably, the blowing assembly includes two air pipes symmetrically mounted on the protective door, and several sets of air outlets are fixedly installed on the air pipes.

[0009] Preferably, a flexible tube is fixedly connected to the air blowing pipe, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible tube away from the air blowing pipe, and the end of the connecting pipe away from the flexible tube is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a servo motor fixedly connected to the fixed housing, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, the rotating shaft being rotatably mounted in the fixed housing, two symmetrical worm gears fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, a worm wheel fixedly connected to the top of the air blowing pipe, and a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed housing, the worm wheel being rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention deploys two sets of blowing components by adjusting the assembly. At the same time, the air pump inputs high-pressure gas into the blowing components through the connecting pipe and hose, and blows the high-pressure gas out. When the landing platform moves into the main body of the drone, the high-pressure gas blows off the dust and rainwater that have accumulated on the surface of the drone during operation, preventing dust from getting on the battery during battery swapping and affecting the connection between the battery and the drone.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a drone motor swapping pod structure includes a pod body 1, which is a model K03 drone motor swapping pod. A landing platform 2 and a protective door 3 are installed on the pod body 1. Both the landing platform 2 and the protective door 3 are existing structures for motor swapping pods. The structure also includes: an air pump 4, fixedly installed on the top of the protective door 3; a blower assembly 5 installed at the bottom of the protective door 3 to blow away dust and clean the drone's surface; after the drone lands on the landing platform 2, the blower assembly 5 blows away dust, rainwater, and other debris from the drone's surface, preventing interference with the battery swapping process; and a fixed shell 6, fixedly installed on the protective door 3. Inside the fixed shell 6 is an adjustment assembly 7 for adjusting the working angle of the blower assembly 5. The adjustment assembly 7 allows adjustment of the blowing angle of the blower assembly 5 and also allows the blower assembly 5 to be stored away.

[0024] It should be noted that when the drone needs a battery swap, the landing platform 2 moves out of the main body 1 of the drone nest, and the drone lands on the landing platform 2. At the same time, the two sets of blowing components 5 are deployed through the adjustment component 7. Simultaneously, the air pump 4 inputs high-pressure gas into the blowing components 5 through the connecting pipe 9 and the hose 8, and blows out the high-pressure gas. When the landing platform 2 moves into the main body 1 of the drone nest, the high-pressure gas blows off the dust, rainwater, etc. that have accumulated on the surface of the drone during operation, so as to prevent dust from getting on the battery during the battery swap and affecting the connection between the battery and the drone.

[0025] Specifically, the blowing assembly 5 includes two air pipes 501 symmetrically mounted on the protective door 3. Several sets of air nozzles 502 are fixedly installed on the air pipes 501. A hose 8 is fixedly connected to the air pipe 501. A connecting pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the hose 8 away from the air pipe 501. The end of the connecting pipe 9 away from the hose 8 is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the air pump 4. The air pump 4 inputs high-pressure gas into the air pipe 501 through the connecting pipe 9 and the hose 8, and then blows the high-pressure gas onto the surface of the drone through the air nozzles 502. This blows off the dust and rainwater that the drone surface picks up during operation, preventing dust from getting on the battery during battery swapping and affecting the connection between the battery and the drone. The hose 8 will not cause interference when the air pipe 501 rotates.

[0026] Specifically, the adjustment component 7 includes a servo motor 701 fixedly connected to the fixed housing 6. The output end of the servo motor 701 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 702. The servo motor 701 is connected to the rotating shaft 702 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 702 is rotatably mounted in the fixed housing 6. Two symmetrical worm gears 703 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 702. A worm wheel 704 is fixedly connected to the top of the air blowing pipe 501. A mounting bracket 705 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed housing 6. The worm wheel 704 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 705. The worm wheel 704 passes through the bottom of the fixed housing 6 and meshes with the worm gear 703. The servo motor 701 drives the rotating shaft 702 to rotate, which in turn drives the two worm gears 703 on its outer sides to rotate. The worm gears 703 mesh with the worm wheels 704. Since the two worm gears 703 are mirror-mounted, they drive the two worm wheels 704 to rotate mirror-mounted. The worm wheels 704 drive the two air blowing pipes 501 to move mirror-mounted, thus adjusting the unfolding angle between the two air blowing pipes 501.

[0027] Furthermore, a magnet 11 is fixedly connected to the protective door 3, and an iron block 10 that can attract the magnet 11 is fixedly connected to the air pipe 501. After the air pipe 501 is moved closer to the protective door 3 and stored, the iron block 10 on the air pipe 501 attracts the magnet 11 on the protective door 3, which improves the stability of the air pipe 501. The storage of the air pipe 501 will not affect the normal use of the protective door 3.

[0028] Both the air pump 4 and the servo motor 701 are powered by the power source inside the main body 1 of the machine nest.

[0029] Working principle: After completing the inspection work in the dam area, when the UAV needs to be replaced, the landing platform 2 moves out of the main body 1 of the drone nest, and the UAV lands on the landing platform 2. At the same time, the servo motor 701 drives the rotating shaft 702 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 702 drives the two worm gears 703 on its outer side to rotate. The worm gears 703 mesh with the worm wheels 704. Since the two worm gears 703 are mirror-mounted, they drive the two worm wheels 704 to rotate mirror-mounted. The worm wheels 704 drive the two air blowing pipes 501 to move mirror-mounted, unfolding the two air blowing pipes 501. At the same time, the air pump 4 inputs high-pressure gas into the air blowing pipes 501 through the connecting pipe 9 and the hose 8, and then blows the high-pressure gas out through the air outlet 502. When the landing platform 2 moves into the main body 1 of the drone nest, the high-pressure gas blows off the dust and rainwater that has accumulated on the surface of the UAV during operation, preventing dust from contaminating the battery and affecting the connection between the battery and the UAV during the battery replacement.
