Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning arrester installation technology, specifically to a lightning arrester installation device for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] To facilitate faster installation of surge arresters, mounting bases are often installed at the installation location (e.g., on a steel tower). These mounting bases have mounting grooves, and below the surge arrester is a mounting bolt. Around the mounting bolt is an expansion spring. The mounting bolt is a component that mates with the mounting groove. During installation, the mounting bolt is forcefully inserted into the mounting groove, and the expansion spring provides a secure connection, thus enabling the surge arrester to be installed.

[0003] In the current technology, there is no facility that does not require manual installation of surge arresters in the air. The installation of surge arresters is often carried out by workers at high altitudes, which has the disadvantages of high labor intensity and high risk factor.

[0004] In the current technology, drones are a mature technology and are widely used in production, but there are no drones that can be installed at high altitudes for lightning arresters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a device that allows for the installation of lightning arresters without manual operation at high altitudes—a drone-based lightning arrester installation device.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a drone is equipped with a lightning arrester device, including the drone body, characterized in that: a rope connects the drone, an expansion tube is connected to the bottom of the rope, and a magnet for attracting lightning arresters is connected to the bottom of the expansion tube; the expansion tube includes an upper piston cylinder and a lower piston installed inside the piston cylinder, a spring between the piston cylinder and the piston, a spark plug inside the piston cylinder, the spark plug being connected to a power source via a remote control switch, the remote control switch also having a remote controller, the piston cylinder having an injection port for high-pressure explosive gas and a cover installed at the injection port, the spring maintaining the high-pressure gas inside the piston cylinder at a high pressure, and when the piston is fully expanded inside the piston cylinder, the piston cylinder also has a clamp connecting the piston and the piston cylinder together.

[0007] Furthermore, the piston is connected to a magnet via a guide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the rope is also connected to the piston cylinder via a counterweight.

[0009] Furthermore, the drone is equipped with a camera pointing towards the lightning arrester, and the camera is also connected to a display via a network.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: such a drone-mounted lightning arrester installation device has the advantage of being able to install lightning arresters without manual operation at high altitudes, thus reducing high-altitude operations. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0014] As shown in the figure, the UAV is equipped with a lightning arrester device, including the UAV body 1. The device is characterized by: a rope 2 connecting the UAV, an expansion tube 3 connected to the rope, and a magnet 4 for attracting the lightning arrester connected to the expansion tube; the expansion tube includes an upper piston cylinder 31 and a lower piston 32 installed inside the piston cylinder, with a spring 33 between the piston cylinder and the piston; a spark plug 34 inside the piston cylinder, connected to a power supply 36 via a remote control switch 35; the remote control switch also has a remote controller; the piston cylinder has a high-pressure explosive gas injection port with a cover 311 installed at the injection port; the spring maintains the high-pressure gas inside the piston cylinder at high pressure; and when the piston fully expands inside the piston cylinder, the piston cylinder also has a clamping member 37 connecting the piston and the piston cylinder together.

[0015] When using this utility model, the following requirements apply: the surge arrester to be installed is a surge arrester with a mounting bolt, the installation location is an installation location with a mounting groove, and an expansion spring is provided around the mounting bolt. The mounting bolt is a component that mates with the mounting groove. During installation, the mounting bolt is forcefully inserted into the mounting groove, and the expansion spring provides a secure connection, thus enabling the installation of the surge arrester. Furthermore, the surge arrester is made of iron, and the magnet of this utility model can be used to firmly suspend the surge arrester, ensuring that the mounting bolt faces downwards.

[0016] Design principle: In use, the surge arrester is attracted by a magnet. A drone is used to lift the surge arrester to be installed. The mounting bolt of the surge arrester is aligned with the mounting groove. The remote control is turned on, and the spark plug ignites the high-pressure explosive gas. The high-pressure explosive gas explodes, and the piston moves. The piston pushes the surge arrester, giving the surge arrester a certain impact force. It is then installed in the mounting groove, completing the installation of the surge arrester.

[0017] In one embodiment, the magnet has an iron outer shell to protect it.

[0018] The explosive gas is, for example, a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen within the explosion limits.

[0019] The piston cylinder also has a clamping component that connects the piston and the piston cylinder together. The clamping component may be, for example, a retaining element on the piston cylinder that allows the piston to extend downward to a certain extent, or a spring that extends to a certain extent and then cannot extend further, thus preventing the piston from detaching from the piston cylinder and ensuring that the piston and piston cylinder form a single unit that cannot be separated due to an explosion.

[0020] Furthermore, the piston is connected to a magnet via guide rod 5.

[0021] This invention has the advantage of allowing the portion of the magnet to extend downwards. For example, the guide rod can be a steel bar that connects the piston and the magnet.

[0022] Furthermore, the rope is also connected to the piston cylinder via a counterweight 6.

[0023] This design ensures that the explosive force of the gas explosion is directed downwards onto the surge arrester. For example, the counterweight can be heavier than the surge arrester itself; another example is a counterweight weighing 10 kilograms.

[0024] Furthermore, the drone is equipped with a camera 7 pointing towards the lightning arrester, and the camera is also connected to a display via a network.

[0025] This invention features a handheld display that allows for easy observation of the corresponding positions of the surge arrester's mounting bolts and mounting grooves during operation.

[0026] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the connection within multiple components or the connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The term "comprising" or any other similar term is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, article, or apparatus / device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to those processes, articles, or apparatus / devices.

[0028] The technical solution of the present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
