Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection devices, specifically an inspection device for urban infrastructure that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urbanization, the quantity and complexity of urban infrastructure have increased significantly. Various facilities, including roads, bridges, pipelines, and lighting systems, require regular inspections to ensure their safe operation. Traditional manual inspection methods are not only inefficient and costly, but also limited by environmental conditions and personnel skill levels, making it difficult to comprehensively and promptly identify potential problems. In recent years, drone technology, due to its flexibility and efficiency, has been widely applied to the inspection of urban infrastructure. Equipped with cameras or other sensors, drones can quickly acquire images and data of facilities, providing crucial information for subsequent maintenance and repair.

[0003] In existing technologies, when drones are used for urban infrastructure inspection, the cameras are often directly locked with multiple bolts or screws. The installation and disassembly of the cameras are complicated and require special tools or multiple people to work together, which is not convenient for quick on-site inspection or replacement. Therefore, in order to address the above problems, an urban infrastructure inspection device that is easy to maintain is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the complexity of camera installation and disassembly, the need for specialized tools or multiple personnel, and the inconvenience of rapid on-site inspection or replacement, this utility model proposes an urban infrastructure inspection device that facilitates maintenance.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an urban infrastructure inspection device that is easy to maintain, including a body and a clamping assembly. The bottom of the body is provided with a connecting rod, and the bottom end of the connecting rod is provided with a rectangular frame. A camera is provided inside the rectangular frame. The clamping assembly includes rectangular bars, two of which are respectively set at the top and bottom of the rectangular frame. Rectangular grooves are opened at both ends of the four rectangular bars, and tension springs are provided inside the four rectangular grooves. One end of each of the four tension springs is connected to a rectangular block. A connecting plate is provided at one end of two rectangular blocks located on the same side. Rectangular plates are provided at the top and bottom of one side of the connecting plate. A limiting plate is provided between the two rectangular plates to limit the camera.

[0006] Preferably, one side of the limiting plate has an inclined surface.

[0007] Preferably, the top and bottom of the rectangular block are provided with sliders, and the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the rectangular groove are respectively provided with limiting grooves, and the sliders are fitted in the limiting grooves.

[0008] Preferably, springs are evenly distributed on the rear side of the inner side of the rectangular frame, and one end of the spring is connected to a push plate.

[0009] Preferably, the push plate abuts against the rear of the camera.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the four corners of the fuselage are each provided with a support rod, and a rotor is provided at the top of one end of each of the four support rods.

[0011] Preferably, support frames are provided on both sides of the bottom of the machine body.

[0012] Preferably, the camera is positioned between two support frames.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model can expand the distance between the two limiting plates by pulling the two connecting plates outward, thereby causing the rectangular block to compress the tension spring. At this time, the camera can be easily placed into or taken out of the rectangular frame. After being released, the limiting plate will automatically clamp the camera under the action of the spring's rebound force. This process can be completed by hand without any tools, solving the fundamental problem of the traditional bolt fixing method being cumbersome and time-consuming. It is especially suitable for rapid inspection and camera replacement in the field.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses multiple springs set on the rear side inside the rectangular frame to push the push plate forward against the camera. Combined with the lateral clamping force provided by the clamping component, it forms a three-dimensional omnidirectional flexible clamping space, which ensures the stability of the camera under various flight attitudes. It can also effectively absorb and buffer the vibration and impact generated during flight, protect the camera equipment, and ensure the clarity of image acquisition. Attached Figure Description

[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an urban infrastructure inspection device that facilitates maintenance. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4An easy-to-maintain urban infrastructure inspection device includes a body 1 and a clamping assembly 3. The bottom of the body 1 has a connecting rod 104, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 104 has a rectangular frame 2. The connecting rod 104 connects the drone body 1 and the rectangular frame 2 below, providing sufficient suspension space to ensure that the camera 4's field of view is not obstructed by the landing gear or fuselage, while also isolating the camera 4 from the fuselage vibration to a certain extent. The rectangular frame 2 serves as the main frame and base for mounting the camera 4, and the camera 4, a core functional component, is located inside the rectangular frame 2 for acquiring image and video data. The clamping assembly 3 includes two rectangular bars 301, one at the top and one at the bottom of the rectangular frame 2. The rectangular bars 301 serve as the outer shell of the clamping assembly 3, mounted on the top and bottom of the rectangular frame 2. Rectangular grooves 302 are formed at both ends of the four rectangular bars 301, providing installation space and movement tracks for the tension spring 304 and the rectangular block 305, forming the basis for the entire power transmission. The internal parts of 302 are equipped with tension springs 304, which provide continuous and automatic springback clamping force. The contraction force of the tension springs 304 automatically tightens the clamping parts on both sides, locking the camera 4. When disassembly is required, the tension spring force can be manually overcome to release the camera, and it will automatically reset after being released, realizing the functions of "automatic locking" and "manual release". One end of each of the four tension springs 304 is connected to a rectangular block 305, which is a force transmission component. Two rectangular blocks 305 on the same side have a connecting plate 307 at one end, connecting... The connecting plate 307 connects to two rectangular blocks 305 on the same side and serves as a handle for manual operation. Rectangular plates 308 are respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of one side of the connecting plate 307. The rectangular plates 308 are connecting parts. A limiting plate 309 is provided between the two rectangular plates 308. The limiting plate 309 is an actuator that directly contacts and clamps the camera 4. The limiting plate 309 limits the camera 4 and directly completes the lateral clamping and fixing of the camera 4. It works in conjunction with the spring 201 at the rear to firmly fix the camera 4 in three-dimensional space.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 The limiting plate 309 has an inclined surface 3010 on one side. The inclined surface 3010 is a guide slope set on one side of the limiting plate 309, so that even if the camera 4 is not fully aligned when it is installed, the camera 4 housing will first contact this inclined surface. During the continued insertion process, the component force of the inclined surface will automatically push the limiting plate 309 outward, realizing "automatic centering" and "guided insertion", making the installation operation exceptionally smooth and simple.

[0026] Reference Figure 3The top and bottom of the rectangular block 305 are respectively provided with sliders 306, and the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the rectangular groove 302 are respectively provided with limiting grooves 303. The sliders 306 are fitted in the limiting grooves 303. The sliders 306 and the grooves are motion guiding mechanisms, ensuring that the clamping assembly 3 can only perform horizontal linear motion, avoiding jamming and tilting.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 Springs 201 are evenly distributed inside the rear side of the rectangular frame 2. The springs 201 evenly distributed inside the rear side of the rectangular frame 2 constitute the first buffer and fixing system. One end of the spring 201 is connected to the push plate 202.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 The push plate 202 abuts against the rear end of the camera 4, and pushes the camera 4 tightly forward to the limiting plate 309 to prevent it from moving back and forth.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The four corners of the body 1 are provided with support rods 101, and the top of one end of each of the four support rods 101 is provided with a rotor 102. The support rods 101 and the rotor 102 together constitute the flight platform of the UAV, providing lift and flight capability. It is the mobile carrier of the entire device, realizing the aerial mobility of the inspection device, enabling it to reach infrastructure parts that are difficult for humans to access for operation.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Support frames 103 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the body 1. The support frames 103 are located on both sides of the bottom of the body 1 and are used for the landing and parking of the drone.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The camera 4 is located between two support frames 103. The design of the support frames 103 makes the middle rectangular frame 2 and the camera 4 suspended in the air, which avoids the camera 4 from colliding with the ground during take-off and landing, thus protecting the camera 4.

[0032] Working principle: When installing or replacing camera 4, simply pull the two connecting plates 307 with both hands. The movement of the connecting plates 307 is transmitted through the rectangular block 305, overcoming the tension of the tension spring 304, causing the rectangular block 305 to slide outward along the limiting slide groove 303 in the rectangular groove 302. The outward movement of the rectangular block 305 drives the connected rectangular plate 308 and limiting plate 309 to move outward synchronously, resulting in an increase in the distance between the two limiting plates 309. At this time, camera 4 is placed into the rectangular frame 2. During the placement process, the side of camera 4 will first contact the inclined surface 3010 on the limiting plate 309. This inclined surface acts as a guide, automatically correcting the position of camera 4 and allowing it to slide smoothly into the preset center area. At the same time, the rear end of camera 4 will push the push plate 202 to compress the multiple springs 201 on the rear wall of the rectangular frame 2.

[0033] After the camera 4 is placed in position, the operator releases the connecting plate 307. At this time, the stretched spring 304 loses external force and automatically contracts by its own rebound force, strongly pulling the rectangular block 305 to reset inward. The inward movement of the rectangular block 305, through the connecting plate 307 and the rectangular plate 308, ultimately drives the limiting plates 309 on both sides to move inward synchronously, tightly clamping the body of the camera 4 from both sides. The compressed spring 201 at the rear of the camera 4 continues to release elastic force forward, pushing the camera 4 forward so that it fits tightly with the limiting plate 309, completing the automatic locking.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
