Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone charging technology, and is a charging device for indoor inspection drones. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, indoor inspection drones are increasingly being used for inspections in indoor environments such as tunnels, underground pipe networks, warehouses, and production workshops.

[0003] Among them, the prior art CN220786192U discloses an autonomous charging device for indoor inspection drones, which solves the problems of increased manual operation risk and labor intensity due to the frequent charging of drones during indoor inspections, and the inability to charge drones autonomously at the same time when there are a large number of drones that need to be charged frequently. The autonomous charging device for indoor inspection drones of this patent technology includes a charging column, a landing frame and a UWB positioning device. The indoor inspection drone includes a chassis and wings. The center of the chassis is hollowed out, and positive and negative electrodes are set inside the hollowed-out part to make contact with the positive and negative electrodes on the charging column in the charging device. Since the charging column is equipped with multiple sets of electrodes and the height of the charging column is much greater than the height of the chassis, the charging device can charge multiple drones at the same time.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patented technology can charge multiple drones simultaneously, it requires a large amount of ground or desktop space and has low charging efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an indoor inspection drone charging device with a three-dimensional design that can solve the problem of low operating efficiency of single-layer charging platforms.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an indoor inspection drone charging device, including a counterweight, at least two support frames and at least two landing plates, wherein the at least two support frames are vertically stacked, the counterweight is disposed at the bottom of the lowest support frame, and the surface of the landing plate is divided into an installation area and a landing area for the indoor inspection drone to be parked, wherein the installation area is sandwiched between the support frame and the counterweight or between two adjacent support frames, such that the landing area is suspended on one side of the support frame.

[0007] Specifically, the top-view projection surfaces of two adjacent stop plates form an angle of 90° or 180° with each other, and at least one support frame is provided between the two adjacent stop plates.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame is square and includes four angle steel columns arranged in an array. An upper angle steel beam is welded between the tops of two adjacent angle steel columns, and a lower angle steel beam is welded between the bottoms of two adjacent angle steel columns. The support frame is connected to the counterweight or support frame by threaded fasteners.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame also includes a fixed baffle and a movable baffle. The fixed baffle is welded to the angle steel column and laid on the three sides of the support frame. The upper and lower angle steel beams on the sides of the support frame not covered by the fixed baffle are respectively provided with iron plates. Correspondingly, the movable baffle is provided with a permanent magnet, which is attracted to the iron plate, so that the movable baffle is movably installed on one side of the support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the movable baffle is provided with a cable passage opening, which is inverted U-shaped and has a rubber ring attached to it.

[0011] Preferably, the stop plate is rectangular, and the stop plate is divided into an installation area and a stop area along the long axis of the plate surface. The plate surface is horizontally arranged. Multiple reinforcing ribs extending along the long axis of the plate surface and parallel to each other are fixed to the bottom surface of the stop area, and one end of the reinforcing ribs abuts against the fixed baffle.

[0012] Specifically, a rectangular hole running vertically through the center of the mounting area of ​​the stop plate is provided, and a circular hole running vertically through the center of the counterweight is provided.

[0013] Preferably, the support frame is square, with a through-hole three at each corner of its bottom and a through-hole four at each corner of its top; and four holes five are correspondingly provided in the mounting area of ​​the stop plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a cover plate is installed at the top of the uppermost support frame, and four pins are fixed to the bottom surface of the cover plate, with each pin being inserted into one of the four circular holes.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the counterweight is provided with multiple adjustable feet for adjusting the height.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses a counterweight and a support frame to support the landing plate, and makes the landing area of ​​the landing plate cantilevered on one side of the support frame. Multiple landing plates can be set on one charging device, so that multiple indoor inspection drones can be parked while charging. This reduces the floor space and improves efficiency in indoor places where multiple indoor inspection drones are used for inspection operations.

[0018] 2. By designing the top-view projection surfaces of two adjacent landing pads to form a 90° or 180° angle with each other, sufficient landing space is ensured for two drones parked vertically next to each other. The number of support frames between two adjacent landing pads can also be used to adjust the landing space.

[0019] 3. The support frame encloses the fixed baffle, movable baffle, and top plate, which optimizes the storage of wiring within the support frame, prevents dust accumulation, and makes the charging device aesthetically pleasing, tidy, and easy to clean. The movable baffle is easy to disassemble, making it convenient for staff to organize the internal wiring.

[0020] 4. The mounting area of ​​the stop plate is provided with rectangular holes so that the upper and lower adjacent support frames or the support frame and the counterweight can be connected to each other, which facilitates the circuit design. In addition, the configuration block is provided with a round hole, which also facilitates the downward routing of the circuit. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Example 1

[0041] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the indoor inspection drone charging device of this embodiment includes a counterweight 1, at least two support frames 2 and at least two landing plates 3. The at least two support frames 2 are stacked vertically, the counterweight 1 is located at the bottom of the lowest support frame 2 and is used to adjust the center of gravity of the charging device. The landing plates 3 are suspended and connected to the support frames 2 so that the drone can stop when charging.

[0042] Specifically, the counterweight 1 is a cube, and four adjusting feet 4 for adjusting the height of the counterweight 1 are screwed to the bottom of the counterweight 1. A through-hole 11 is opened in the middle of the counterweight 1.

[0043] The support frame 2 is square and is constructed from twelve edges. It includes four angle steel columns 21 arranged in a circular array. An angle steel upper beam 22 is welded between the tops of two adjacent angle steel columns 21, and an angle steel lower beam 23 is welded between the bottoms of two adjacent angle steel columns 21. The support frame 2 is connected to the counterweight 1 or the support frame 2 via threaded fasteners.

[0044] The landing plate 3 is rectangular, and along its long axis, it is divided into an installation area 31 and a parking area 32 for indoor inspection drones. The landing plate 3 is horizontally positioned. The installation area 31 is sandwiched between the support frame 2 and the counterweight 1, or between two adjacent support frames 2. The parking area 32 cantilevered from one side of the support frame 2. Furthermore, the top-view projection surfaces of two adjacent landing plates 3 form a 90° angle with each other, and a support frame 2 is located between two adjacent landing plates 3.

[0045] Specifically, a vertically penetrating circular hole 26 is opened at each corner of the bottom of the support frame 2, and a vertically penetrating circular hole 27 is opened at each corner of the top of the support frame 2. A vertically penetrating rectangular hole 33 is opened in the middle of the mounting area 31 of the stop plate 3, and four circular holes 34 are respectively set at the four corners of the rectangular hole 33 within the mounting area 31. Four screw holes 12 are opened at the four corners of the top of the counterweight 1. When the support frame 2 at the bottom layer is connected to the counterweight 1 with threaded fasteners, hexagonal bolts are selected as the threaded fasteners. The tail of the hexagonal bolts is passed through the adjacent and coaxial circular holes 26 and 34 from top to bottom and then screwed into the screw holes 12. When two adjacent support frames 2 are connected by threaded fasteners, the threaded fasteners are hexagonal bolts 2 and hexagonal nuts that are screwed together. The tail of the hexagonal bolt 2 passes through the round hole 3 26, round hole 5 34 of the adjacent and coaxial support frame 2 and the round hole 4 27 of the other support frame 2 from top to bottom, and then screws into the hexagonal nut.

[0046] A rectangular cover plate 7 is installed at the top of the uppermost support frame 2. Four pins 71 arranged in a rectangular array are fixed to the bottom surface of the cover plate 7. The pins 71 are inserted into the four round holes 27 one by one. The cover plate 7 covers the top to reduce dust falling into the support frame 2.

[0047] Fixed baffles 5 and movable baffles 6 are respectively installed on the four sides of the support frame 2. In the preferred embodiment described above, the fixed baffles 5 are arranged in a U-shape by three side panels, and are laid on the three continuous sides of the support frame 2 and fixed by welding to the angle steel columns 21. Two round holes 24 are respectively opened on the upper angle steel beam 22 and the lower angle steel beam 23 on the side of the support frame 2 not enclosed by the fixed baffles 5. An iron plate 25 is installed on the inner side of the upper angle steel beam 22 and the lower angle steel beam 23 with round holes 24. The upper angle steel beam 22 and the iron plate 25 are connected by self-tapping screws, and the lower angle steel beam 23 and the iron plate 25 are connected by self-tapping screws. Four permanent magnets 63 are glued to the inner side of the movable baffle 6. The permanent magnets 63 are attracted to the iron plate 25, so that the movable baffle 6 is movably installed on one side of the support frame 2.

[0048] The bottom of the movable baffle 6 has a cable pass-through port 61, which is U-shaped and has a rubber ring 62 attached to it.

[0049] The bottom surface of the stopping area 32 of the stopping plate 3 is fixed with multiple reinforcing ribs 35 that extend along the long axis of the plate and are parallel to each other. The end of the reinforcing rib 35 near the support frame 2 abuts against the fixed baffle 5. The reinforcing ribs are used to improve the rigidity of the stopping area 32 of the stopping plate 3 and reduce the risk of the stopping area 32 of the stopping plate 3 bending downward.

[0050] Before using the charging device in this embodiment, first place the power strip into the support frame 2, then pass the plug of the power strip from top to bottom through the round hole 11 of the counterweight block 1 and insert it into the socket next to the charging device.
