And, because thickness measurement device in this application need combine together with unmanned aerial vehicle, and touch the check equipment for avoiding unmanned aerial vehicle's power oar when measuring, lead to unmanned aerial vehicle's damage, consequently, detection mechanism 3 in this application is connected with data processing mechanism 1 through detection pole subassembly 2, thereby can guarantee that unmanned aerial vehicle is in the relative position far away of check equipment when detecting head 302 contacts with check equipment, and then can guarantee to a certain extent that unmanned aerial vehicle and check equipment produce the problem that the collision caused unmanned aerial vehicle damage.
What need additionally explain here is that be equipped with switch button 101 in the data processing mechanism 1 in this application, before unmanned aerial vehicle flight, open data processing mechanism 1's button to can realize the accurate record to the equipment thickness measurement time that awaits measuring, realize the accurate measurement to thickness.
It should be further added that, in the present application, the data processing mechanism 1 is connected to the probe 302 through a line, and the line is output by the data processing mechanism 1 and extends to one end of the detecting mechanism 3 along the inside of the probe rod assembly 2, and is connected to the probe 302, so that the line can be protected to a certain extent through the probe rod assembly 2, and the operation stability of the whole device is improved.
Since there is a difference in the angle of the outer wall surface of the device to be measured, not only the outer wall surface in the vertical direction, but also the outer wall surface in the inclined or horizontal direction, based on the above structure, the present application further provides an embodiment capable of changing the angle of the probe 302, as shown in fig. 2, the probe mechanism 3 in the present application further includes a first connecting member 303 and a second connecting member 304, one end of the first connecting member 303 is connected to one end of the probe rod assembly 2 away from the data processing mechanism 1, one end of the second connecting member 304 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting member 303, and the other end of the second connecting member 304 is connected to the supporting claw 301.
Except that the outer wall surface that extends along vertical direction in the equipment to be measured, when still having the wall body of other angles, then before unmanned aerial vehicle flies, operating personnel is through rotating second connecting elements 304, change the angle of second connecting elements 304 relative first connecting elements 303, thereby can change the detection direction of detecting head 302, and then after unmanned aerial vehicle drives thickness measurement device and flies to corresponding position, can make the better outer wall surface with the equipment to be measured of detecting head 302 laminate mutually, improve measuring accuracy.
