A remote monitoring drone robot for cleaning wind turbines

Abstract

This utility model provides a remote monitoring drone robot for cleaning wind turbines. A water tank is fixedly connected inside the support frame. The water tank has a four-sided truncated pyramid structure, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. A camera is mounted on the top of the water tank, and a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the tank. A water pump pumps water into the outlet pipe inside the tank. A spray pipe is rotatably connected to the end of the outlet pipe via a ball joint. A nozzle is installed at the outlet end of the spray pipe, and a water pressure sensor is installed on the outlet pipe to monitor the water pressure inside. When cleaning large wind turbine generators, the drone is controlled by a remote controller to fly near the area to be cleaned. The water pump pumps water from the tank, which enters the spray pipe through the outlet pipe and is sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the area. Simultaneously, the water pressure is monitored in real time by the water pressure sensor. The water pressure can be controlled by adjusting the power of the water pump when rinsing different areas.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wind turbine cleaning technology, and in particular to a remote monitoring wind turbine cleaning drone robot. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power is a key clean energy source being developed globally. As an important component of wind turbine generators, wind turbine blades may accumulate debris such as bird droppings on the wings, columns, and platforms during long-term operation. However, existing cleaning methods rely on manual labor, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, a remote monitoring wind turbine cleaning drone robot is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical shortcomings, this utility model provides a remote monitoring wind power cleaning drone robot, comprising: a drone, a support frame installed at the bottom of the drone, a water tank fixedly connected inside the support frame, the water tank having a four-sided truncated pyramid structure with a larger bottom and a smaller top, a camera installed at the top of the water tank, a water outlet pipe fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the water tank, a water pump installed inside the water tank to pump water into the water outlet pipe, a spray pipe rotatably connected to the end of the water outlet pipe via a ball joint, a nozzle installed at the water outlet end of the spray pipe, and a water pressure sensor installed on the water outlet pipe for monitoring the water pressure inside the water outlet pipe.

[0004] Furthermore, an electric push rod is installed between the water spray pipe and the outer wall of the water tank.

[0005] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket. The mounting base is fitted into the middle of the bottom of the drone's shell. The interior of the mounting base has four evenly spaced fixing holes. Bolts passing through the fixing holes are screwed into the threaded holes in the middle of the bottom of the drone's shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the bracket has force-bearing rods on both sides, and the fixing plate is placed on the two force-bearing rods. Several threaded holes are opened on the side of the force-bearing rods. The two ends of the fixing plate extend downward and rest on the side of the force-bearing rods. The fixing plate has through holes that correspond one-to-one with the threaded holes. Bolts pass through the through holes and are screwed into the inside of the threaded holes.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate, and a water injection hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of the water tank, located at the mounting hole. The water injection hole is used for one-way water injection by pressing. A camera is installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate, and the camera is used to capture the image around the water injection hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a water inlet groove is provided at the bottom of the water injection hole, the top of the water injection hole is sealed, and a limiting ring is formed at the bottom of the water injection hole. A sealing plug that can move up and down inside the water injection hole is provided on the upper surface of the limiting ring, and a spring is provided on the top of the sealing plug.

[0009] Furthermore, it is also equipped with a water injection pipe for water injection, which is connected to the municipal water supply system through a solenoid valve. The top of the water injection pipe has a through groove corresponding to the water inlet tank. Beneficial effects

[0010] When cleaning large wind turbine generators, a drone is controlled by a remote controller to fly to the vicinity of the area to be cleaned. A water pump pumps water from the tank, which then enters the water outlet pipe and is sprayed out through the nozzles to rinse the area to be cleaned. At the same time, a water pressure sensor monitors the water pressure in real time, and the water pressure can be controlled by adjusting the power of the water pump when rinsing different areas.

[0011] With the electric push rod in place, when the drone hovers for rinsing, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod controls the water spray pipe to adjust downwards and upwards, thus changing the direction of the spray and the spray position, thereby cleaning different areas.

[0012] The purpose, features, and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0018] exist Figures 1 to 5 The correspondence between the component names or lines and the attached drawing numbers is as follows: UAV 1, bracket 2, mounting base 21, fixing hole 22, force-bearing rod 23, threaded hole 24, fixing plate 3, through hole 31, mounting hole 32, water tank 4, water inlet hole 41, water inlet groove 42, sealing plug 43, spring 44, camera 5, water outlet pipe 6, water spray pipe 7, electric push rod 8, water pressure sensor 9. Detailed Implementation

[0019] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 5A remote monitoring wind power cleaning drone robot includes: a drone 1, a bracket 2 installed at the bottom of the drone 1, a water tank 4 fixedly connected inside the bracket 2, the water tank 4 having a four-sided truncated pyramid structure with a larger bottom and a smaller top, a camera 5 installed at the top of the water tank 4, a water outlet pipe 6 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the water tank 4, a water pump pumping water into the water outlet pipe 6 inside the water tank 4, a spray pipe 7 rotatably connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 6 through a ball joint, a nozzle installed at the water outlet end of the spray pipe 7, and a water pressure sensor 9 installed on the water outlet pipe 6 for monitoring the water pressure inside the water outlet pipe 6.

[0020] In practice, when cleaning large wind turbine generators, a drone 1 is controlled by a remote controller to fly to the vicinity of the area to be cleaned. Water is pumped out of the water tank 4 by a water pump and enters the water spray pipe 7 through the water outlet pipe 6 and is sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the area to be cleaned. At the same time, the water pressure is monitored in real time by a water pressure sensor 9. When rinsing different parts, the water pressure can be controlled by controlling the power of the water pump.

[0021] By designing water tank 4 with a four-sided truncated pyramid structure, and a larger bottom and a smaller top, the capacity of water tank 4 is maximized, thereby increasing the water storage capacity.

[0022] Camera 5 is used to acquire real-time images of the surrounding environment of drone 1.

[0023] Furthermore, an electric push rod 8 is provided between the outer wall of the water spray pipe 7 and the water tank 4.

[0024] In practice, by setting up the electric push rod 8, when the drone 1 hovers to rinse, the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 8 controls the water spray pipe 7 to adjust downward and upward, so that the direction of the spray head can be changed and the spray position can be changed, thereby cleaning different positions.

[0025] Furthermore, the top of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 21, which is fitted onto the bottom center of the drone 1. The mounting base 21 has four evenly spaced fixing holes 22 inside, and bolts passing through the fixing holes 22 are screwed into the threaded hole in the center of the bottom of the drone 1.

[0026] In practice, the drone 1 is mounted on the top of the bracket 2 via the mounting base 21.

[0027] Furthermore, the support 2 has a force-bearing rod 23 on both sides, and the fixing plate 3 is placed on the two force-bearing rods 23. The side of the force-bearing rod 23 has several threaded holes 24. The two ends of the fixing plate 3 extend downward and rest on the side of the force-bearing rod 23. The fixing plate 3 has through holes 31 that correspond one-to-one with the threaded holes 24. The bolt passes through the through holes 31 and is screwed into the inside of the threaded holes 24.

[0028] In practice, the bottom of the bracket 2 supports the water tank 4 by installing a fixing plate 3, so that the water tank 4 can be fixed on the fixing plate 3.

[0029] Furthermore, the fixing plate 3 has a mounting hole 32 in the middle, and the bottom of the water tank 4 has a water injection hole 41 located in the middle of the mounting hole 32. The water injection hole 41 is used for one-way water injection by pressing. A camera is installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate 3. The camera is used to capture the image around the water injection hole 41.

[0030] In practice, the water injection hole 41 is set to enable the whole system to automatically add water, and the camera can capture the surrounding image of the water injection hole 41.

[0031] Furthermore, a water inlet groove 42 is provided at the bottom of the water inlet hole 41, the top of the water inlet hole 41 is sealed, and a limiting ring is formed at the bottom of the water inlet hole 41. A sealing plug 43 that can move up and down inside the water inlet hole 41 is provided on the upper surface of the limiting ring, and a spring 44 is provided on the top of the sealing plug 43.

[0032] In practice, when automatically adding water, the camera captures the surrounding image of the water inlet 41, making it easy to connect the water inlet 41 to the water inlet pipe.

[0033] Furthermore, it is also equipped with a water injection pipe for water injection, which is connected to the municipal water supply system through a solenoid valve. The top of the water injection pipe has a through groove corresponding to the water inlet trough 42.

[0034] In practice, the water injection pipe is inserted into the water injection hole 41, pushing the sealing plug 43 upward, compressing the spring 44, separating the sealing plug 43 from the water inlet 42, aligning the through groove with the water inlet 42, and then opening the solenoid valve, at which point water will be injected into the water tank 4.
