Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drone technology, and more particularly to a variable lift structure oil-powered multi-rotor drone. [Background technology]

[0002] Drones are mainly used in the power industry for tasks such as line inspection, equipment inspection, and emergency response assessment, significantly improving efficiency and safety. Core application scenarios include power line inspection, substation equipment inspection, emergency response, and disaster assessment.

[0003] Equipped with high-resolution cameras, laser radar, and other equipment, drones can rapidly capture high-definition images and 3D point cloud data of power lines, automatically identifying defects such as broken insulation and broken conductors. This method is two to three times more efficient than manual inspections, making it particularly suitable for complex terrain such as mountainous areas and rivers. Equipped with infrared thermography or X-ray equipment, drones can non-contactly detect issues such as overheating and internal structural abnormalities in equipment. Furthermore, after natural disasters, drones can quickly assess the damage to power facilities. For example, heavy-duty drones can participate in damage assessments, shortening the time required for emergency repairs. Conventional drones are often electrically powered, powered by onboard batteries. While this model is clean and environmentally friendly, it has limited range and is difficult to perform long-term tasks. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]
