This embodiment provides an umbilical cord flying device 10, umbilical cord flying device 10 can make unmanned aerial vehicle can patrol the inspection in the environment such as bridge, glass curtain wall and river course, avoids unmanned aerial vehicle to be disturbed by environmental factor such as air current, breaks away from and patrols the region to reduce the potential safety hazard.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a specific configuration of an umbilical flying device 10.

Umbilical flying device 10 includes a track 11, a power plant 12, an aircraft 13, and a flexible line 14. The power device 12 is disposed on the rail 11 and moves on the rail 11. The power unit 12 is connected to the aircraft 13 by a flexible line 14 to limit the working area of the aircraft 13.

The umbilical flying device 10 is used to work within a prescribed patrol area. The track 11 is used for being installed on a dam body of a bridge, a glass curtain wall or a river channel, and the power device 12 is arranged on the track 11, so that the power device 12 can move on the dam body of the bridge, the glass curtain wall or the river channel.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the operation of the umbilical cord flying device 10 on the glass curtain wall 10a in the present embodiment.

The rail 11 is fixed to the glass curtain wall 10a, and the power unit 12 stably travels on the rail 11. The aircraft 13 is bound on the power device 12 through the flexible wire 14, so that the aircraft 13 can perform inspection and other work by taking the power device 12 as a work circle center and taking the length of the flexible wire 14 as a work radius. When the aircraft 13 encounters interference of environmental factors such as airflow, the aircraft 13 cannot be separated from the operation area due to the flexible wire 14, so that the aircraft 13 is in a controllable area, and the situation of potential safety hazards caused by separation control of the aircraft 13 is reduced.

It should be noted that, in a possible implementation, during the flight of the aircraft 13, the power unit 12 may travel on the track 11 at the same time, so that the working area of the aircraft 13 changes following the travel of the power unit 12.

The power unit 12 is a track robot. The rail 11 is an i-shaped rail, and the traveling wheels of the rail robot are respectively arranged in the grooves at two sides of the rail 11 and act on the rail 11 to travel relative to the rail 11.

It should be noted that the power device 12 may be other walking machine devices capable of stably and stably not being separated from the track 11 due to external loads, such as a suspension type walking robot, and the power device 12 is not separated from the track 11 in the air flow, hail, rain and snow or the pulling force of the aircraft 13, so as to ensure the normal operation of the aircraft 13 in the operation area. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the power device 12 may also be a magnetic levitation railway robot, which may be a walking device composed of a contactless magnetic bearing, a magnetic guiding system and a linear driving system in the prior art.

In order to adapt to different inspection environments, the track 11 is a flexible track.

It should be noted that, as the structure for connecting the aircraft 13 and the power device 12, the flexible wire 14 should have flexibility, so that the inspection action of the aircraft 13 is not affected by the material of the flexible wire 14 itself, and the flexible wire 14 has a certain strength, so that in the case of strong airflow, the flexible wire 14 is broken, and the aircraft 13 is uncontrollable. Also, where possible, the flexible wire 14 should also have fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant, etc. properties to accommodate outdoor harsh environments.

The flexible threads 14 in this embodiment may be made of kevlar fiber, carbon fiber material, or the like.

Kevlar fiber is a brand name of an aramid fiber material product, and is named as poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide as a material, the material has low density, high strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance and easy processing and forming, the strength of the material is 5 times of that of steel with the same mass, but the density of the material is only one fifth of that of the steel (the Kevlar fiber density is 1.44 grams per cubic centimeter, and the steel density is 7.859 grams per cubic centimeter).

The carbon fiber material is a special fiber consisting of carbon elements. The graphite fiber has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electric conduction, heat conduction, corrosion resistance and the like, is fibrous and soft in appearance, can be processed into various fabrics, and has high strength and modulus along the fiber axis direction due to the preferred orientation of the graphite microcrystalline structure along the fiber axis.

It should be noted that, in a possible implementation, when the power source of the aircraft 13 is electric energy, the power device 12 supplies power to the aircraft 13 through the flexible wire 14 in order to improve the endurance of the aircraft 13.

The flexible line 14 comprises a cable, wherein the cable may be a flexible cable and may be externally wrapped with Kevlar or carbon fiber material.

It should be noted that the power plant 12 may be equipped with an electric energy storage device, which stores electric energy for supplying the aircraft 13, and which delivers the electric energy to the aircraft 13 via a cable.

In one possible implementation, when the power source of aircraft 13 is water (e.g., the power motor of aircraft 13 is a hydrogen power motor), power plant 12 supplies water to aircraft 13 via flexible line 14 in order to improve range of aircraft 13, where flexible line 14 comprises a water hose. Wherein, power device 12 can carry the water tank, and the one end that has flexible water pipe is fixed in the water tank, and the other end is fixed in aircraft 13, through the water pump that sets up in the water tank, can be to aircraft 13 water supply.

In a possible embodiment, when the power source of the aircraft 13 is gas, the power means 12 supply the aircraft 13 with gas through the flexible line 14 in order to improve the endurance of the aircraft 13. The flexible wire 14 comprises a trachea. The power unit 12 may carry a gas canister, one end of which having a flexible gas tube is fixed to the gas canister and the other end of which is fixed to the aircraft 13.

In the above embodiment, water and gas are used as flight energy sources of the aircraft 13. Meanwhile, water and gas may also be used as power and operation materials for other operations such as maintenance and repair of the aircraft 13, for example, when the aircraft 13 is equipped with a drill, the drill is powered by compressed gas (gas is compressed gas), or for example, water is used as operation materials for operations such as flushing or fire extinguishing of the aircraft 13. To avoid situations in which the power unit 12 is not sufficiently loaded with water or gas to meet the operational requirements of the aircraft 13, water or gas pipes may also be laid on the track 11, so that water or gas is supplied to the aircraft 13 via the flexible lines 14.

It should be noted that the aircraft 13 is a drone, which is a rotor drone in this embodiment, and in other specific embodiments, the specific type of the aircraft 13 is not limited.

Unmanned Aerial vehicle (uav) refers to an aircraft that does not carry any operator and can fly autonomously or be remotely piloted.

A rotary-wing drone is a special drone helicopter with three and more rotor shafts. It is rotated by a motor on each shaft, driving the rotor, thereby generating lift. The collective pitch of the rotors is fixed and not variable as in a typical helicopter. By varying the relative speed between the different rotors, the magnitude of the single-axis thrust can be varied to control the trajectory of the aircraft 13.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
