Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) support equipment technology, and in particular to a fixed hangar for new energy inspection. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy industries such as photovoltaics and wind power, the installed capacity and number of photovoltaic power stations have experienced explosive growth. Ensuring the safe and efficient operation of power stations is of paramount importance. Traditional photovoltaic power station inspections mainly rely on manual labor. Inspectors need to walk to check a large number of widely distributed photovoltaic modules, which is not only inefficient but also prone to blind spots due to complex terrain. It is difficult to detect potential hazards such as hot spots, microcracks, and dust accumulation in equipment, which can no longer meet the operation and maintenance needs of modern large-scale photovoltaic power stations.

[0003] With the continuous development of drone technology, some photovoltaic power plants have begun to adopt a scheme of cooperating between fixed drone hangars and automatic inspection drones. The drone hangars provide logistical support for the inspection drones, and their periphery usually integrates an environmental monitoring module to determine in real time whether the external weather conditions are suitable for drone release and inspection operations. Since these hangars are mostly deployed in outdoor settings around photovoltaic power plants, the environmental monitoring module is susceptible to damage from external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation, and accidental impacts, which can affect the overall efficiency and reliability of drone inspection operations.

[0004] Therefore, to address the above issues, a fixed hangar for new energy inspection can be designed. By integrating an adjustable protective mechanism around the environmental monitoring module in the hangar, comprehensive physical protection is provided for the monitoring probe when not in operation, effectively preventing damage caused by rain, dust, and impact. When in operation, the opening and closing angle can be dynamically adjusted to ensure that the monitoring module is not obstructed during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the problem that current fixed drone hangars are mostly deployed in outdoor settings around photovoltaic power plants, the integrated environmental monitoring modules are easily damaged by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation, and accidental impacts, which in turn affects the overall efficiency and reliability of drone inspection operations.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a new energy inspection fixed hangar includes an outer shell and a servo motor fixedly installed inside the outer shell. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, which passes through the side wall of the outer shell and is rotatably connected to it. A turntable is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft. Two sets of mounting plates are fixedly installed on one side of the turntable. Detection probes and sensor groups are respectively set at the upper ends of the two sets of mounting plates. A protective shell is fixedly installed on the rear side of the outer shell. The protective shell is located around the turntable, and a first sealing strip is set at the upper end of the protective shell.

[0007] Preferably, the detection probe and sensor group are installed and fixed by two sets of mounting plates. The detection probe uses a high-definition camera to collect real-time image data of the external environment. The sensor group includes a wind speed sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor to detect wind speed and temperature and humidity parameters in the external environment in real time. The two work together to comprehensively assess whether the environmental conditions meet the operational requirements of the inspection drone. When performing external monitoring operations, the servo motor drives the rotating shaft and turntable to rotate, moving the detection probe and sensor group out of the protective shell and enabling dynamic adjustment of their monitoring angle to ensure that there is no obstruction during the monitoring process. When the drone is not taking off and does not need to monitor the external environment, the servo motor drives the rotating shaft and the turntable at one end to rotate and move the detection probe and sensor group into the interior of the protective shell. The connection between the turntable and the protective shell is sealed by a first sealing strip to ensure that the internal detection probe and sensor group are not affected by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation, and accidental impact.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating shaft has a hollow structure, with one end of its internal cavity extending to the surface of the turntable and the other end penetrating the side wall of the rotating shaft and located in the inner cavity area of ​​the outer shell.

[0009] Preferably, a stopping platform is provided inside the outer casing, and a visual guidance pattern is provided on the upper part of the stopping platform.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes four sets of multi-stage servo electric actuators and guide rails. The guide rails are fixedly installed on the inner wall surface of the outer shell cavity and form a sliding connection with the stopping platform. The multi-stage servo electric actuators are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner shell cavity, and their telescopic ends are fixedly connected to the lower end of the stopping platform.

[0011] Preferably, a control module is installed inside the outer casing, which integrates a wireless charging coil. A trigger button is located at the top of the control module, which is situated below the stopping platform.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the outer shell is provided with an electric slide rail, and two sets of hatches are symmetrically arranged around the periphery of the electric slide rail. A second sealing strip is provided on the corresponding side of the two sets of hatches.

[0013] Preferably, the front of the outer casing is hinged with two sets of access doors, and the access doors have integrated door locks inside.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: The detection probe and sensor group are installed and fixed using two sets of mounting plates. The detection probe uses a high-definition camera to collect real-time image data of the external environment. The sensor group includes a wind speed sensor and a temperature and humidity sensor, which can detect wind speed and temperature and humidity parameters in the external environment in real time. Working together, they can comprehensively assess whether the environmental conditions meet the operational requirements of the inspection drone. Before the drone takes off, a servo motor drives the rotating shaft and turntable to rotate, moving the detection probe and sensor group out of the protective shell. The monitoring angle can be dynamically adjusted to ensure that there is no obstruction during monitoring. When the drone is not taking off and does not need to monitor the external environment, the servo motor drives the rotating shaft and the turntable at one end to rotate and move the detection probe and sensor group inside the protective shell. The turntable and the protective shell form a comprehensive physical protective barrier, and the connection between the turntable and the protective shell is sealed by a first sealing strip to ensure that the internal detection probe and sensor group are not affected by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation, and accidental impact.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment: a fixed hangar for new energy inspection, including an outer shell 1 and a servo motor 3 fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 301, which passes through the side wall of the outer shell 1 and is rotatably connected to it. A turntable 302 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 301. Two sets of mounting plates 303 are fixedly installed on one side of the turntable 302. A detection probe 304 and a sensor group 305 are respectively provided on the upper end of the two sets of mounting plates 303. A protective shell 4 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the outer shell 1, located around the turntable 302. A first sealing strip 401 is provided on the upper end of the protective shell 4. The detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 are respectively installed and fixed by the two sets of mounting plates 303. The detection probe 304 is a high-definition camera used to collect real-time image data of the external environment. The sensor group 305 includes a set of wind speed sensors. The sensor and a set of temperature and humidity sensors can detect wind speed and temperature and humidity parameters in the external environment in real time. The two work together to comprehensively assess whether the environmental conditions meet the operational requirements of the inspection drone. When performing external monitoring operations, the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 and the turntable 302 to rotate, which moves the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 out of the protective shell 4 and can realize the dynamic adjustment of their monitoring angle to ensure that there is no obstruction during the monitoring process. When the drone does not have a take-off mission and does not need to monitor the external environment, the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 and the turntable 302 at one end to rotate, which can rotate and move the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 into the interior of the protective shell 4. The connection between the turntable 302 and the protective shell 4 is sealed by the first sealing strip 401 to ensure that the internal detection probe 304 and sensor group 305 are not affected by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation and accidental impact.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 301 is a hollow structure, with one end of its internal cavity extending to the surface of the turntable 302 and the other end penetrating through the side wall of the rotating shaft 301 and located in the inner cavity area of ​​the outer shell 1; the hollow structure of the rotating shaft 301 facilitates the wiring connection between the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305; a landing platform 2 is provided inside the outer shell 1, and a visual guidance pattern 201 is provided on the upper end of the landing platform 2; the landing platform 2 provides a stable placement platform for the UAV, and its visual guidance pattern 201 is used to assist the UAV in accurate landing and positioning, and improve the reliability of docking.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes four sets of multi-stage servo electric actuators 501 and guide rails 502. The guide rails 502 are fixedly installed on the inner wall surface of the outer shell 1 and form a sliding connection with the parking platform 2. The multi-stage servo electric actuators 501 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and their telescopic ends are fixedly connected to the lower end of the parking platform 2. The multi-stage servo electric actuators 501 can drive the parking platform 2 to rise and fall smoothly along the guide rails 502, realizing the drone's entry and exit from the hangar. A control module 8 is set inside the outer shell 1. The control module 8 integrates a wireless charging coil. A trigger button 801 is set at the upper end of the control module 8. The control module 8 is located below the parking platform 2. The control module 8 can realize the automatic control of the hangar. When the drone enters the hangar, the parking platform 2 descends and presses down to the trigger button 801, which can... Activating the internal wireless charging coil allows for automatic charging of the drone simply by integrating a receiving coil inside. An electric slide rail 601 is located at the upper end of the outer shell 1. Two sets of hatches 602 are symmetrically arranged around the outer perimeter of the electric slide rail 601, with a second sealing strip 603 on each corresponding side of the two sets of hatches 602. The electric slide rail 601 enables the automatic opening and closing of the hatches 602, facilitating the drone's entry and exit from the storage area. The second sealing strip 603 seals the contact surfaces of the two sets of hatches 602, effectively preventing external rainwater and dust from entering the outer shell 1. Two maintenance doors 7 are hinged to the front of the outer shell 1, each with an integrated door lock 701. The maintenance doors 7 facilitate routine maintenance and repair work, while the door locks 701 ensure the safety of the equipment inside the outer shell 1.

[0020] During operation, several sets of this device are deployed around the photovoltaic power station according to the site design requirements, and the inspection drones configured inside them integrate wireless receiving coils. When the drone is in the hangar, the bottom of the parking platform 2 contacts the trigger button 801 on the top of the control terminal, and the wireless charging coil starts to work. In conjunction with the wireless receiving coil integrated inside the drone, the drone can be charged. Before the drone leaves the warehouse to perform its mission, the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 and the turntable 302 to rotate, which moves the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 out of the protective shell 4. The monitoring angle can be flexibly adjusted in real time according to the actual situation. The detection probe 304 can collect real-time image data of the external environment. The sensor group 305 includes a set of wind speed sensors and a set of temperature and humidity sensors, which can detect the wind speed and temperature and humidity parameters in the external environment in real time. The two work together to comprehensively assess whether the environmental conditions meet the operational requirements of the inspection drone. If the environmental assessment results meet the operating standards, the multi-stage servo electric actuator 501 will drive the parking platform 2 to rise along the guide rail 502 to the drone delivery station. At the same time, the two sets of hatches 602 will open synchronously along the electric slide rail 601. At this time, the parking platform 2 will separate from the trigger button 801, and the wireless charging coil will automatically stop working. After the external inspection is completed, the UAV accurately lands on the parking platform 2 using the visual guidance pattern 201. The multi-stage servo electric push rod 501 retracts, causing the platform to descend and return to contact with the trigger button 801 to start the charging process. At this time, the environmental monitoring module enters the non-working state. The servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 and the turntable 302 to rotate in the opposite direction, rotating the detection probe 304 and sensor group 305 into the protective shell 4. The connection between the turntable 302 and the protective shell 4 is sealed by the first sealing strip 401 to ensure that the internal detection probe 304 and sensor group 305 are not affected by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation and accidental impact.

[0021] Through the above steps, the servo motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 301 and the turntable 302 at one end to rotate. During monitoring operations, the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 can be moved to the outside of the protective shell 4 for flexible environmental monitoring. When there is no monitoring task, the detection probe 304 and the sensor group 305 can be rotated and moved to the inside of the protective shell 4 for shielding and protection, reducing the impact of external factors. This solves the problem that current drone fixed hangars are mostly deployed in outdoor scenes around photovoltaic power stations, and their integrated environmental monitoring modules are easily affected by external factors such as rainwater erosion, dust accumulation and accidental impacts, which can damage their functions and thus affect the overall efficiency and reliability of drone inspection operations.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
