DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-6 A high-efficiency environmental monitoring drone with a collection function includes a drone body 1 and a movable rod 5. Two support legs 2 are installed on both sides of the drone body 1. A mounting plate 3 is connected between the two rear support legs 2. A limit hole 4 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 3. There are two movable rods 5. The movable rods 5 are located inside the limit hole 4. Two limit blocks 6 are installed on the outer side of the movable rod 5. A driving device is provided in the middle of the rear side of the mounting plate 3. The driving device includes a motor 8 installed in the middle of the rear side of the mounting plate 3. A threaded rod 16 is installed at the output end of the motor 8. The outer thread of the threaded rod 16 penetrates A moving plate 9 is installed, and support rods 7 are movably installed on both sides of the upper left and right sides of the front of the moving plate 9. One end of the support rod 7 away from the moving plate 9 is movably installed on the outer side of the upper part of the movable rod 5. The motor 8 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, so that the moving plate 9 moves toward the rear side. At this time, the moving plate 9 drives the support rod 7 to rotate, so that the two movable rods 5 move toward each other as a whole, and drive the sample shovel 11 and the leak-proof box 13 to move toward each other through the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 12, respectively, to complete the collection of solid samples, thereby improving the collection efficiency.

[0023] One end of the driving device is movably mounted on the outer side of the upper part of the movable rod 5, an electric telescopic rod 17 is mounted on the lower surface of the driving device, and a solid collection device is mounted on the lower surface of the limit block 6. The solid collection device includes a first connecting rod 10 mounted on the lower surface of the left limit block 6, and a sample shovel 11 is mounted on the end of the first connecting rod 10 away from the limit block 6. The collection device also includes a second connecting rod 12 mounted on the lower surface of the right limit block 6, and a leak-proof box 13 is mounted on the end of the second connecting rod 12 away from the limit block 6. A third connecting rod 14 is mounted on the right side of the inner cavity of the leak-proof box 13, and a push plate 15 is mounted on the end of the third connecting rod 14 away from the leak-proof box 13. The push plate 15 cooperates with the sample shovel 11 to push the sample to be collected into the sample shovel 11, and then the push plate 15 enters the sample shovel 11. The leak-proof box 13 is sleeved on the outside of the sample shovel 11 to protect the sample and prevent the drone body 1 from causing the sample inside the sample shovel 11 to fall off during flight, thereby effectively protecting the sample and improving the safety of the sample.

[0024] A fixed plate 18 is installed on the lower surface of the electric telescopic rod 17, and a liquid collecting device is installed on the lower surface of the fixed plate 18. The liquid collecting device includes L-shaped connecting rods 19 installed on the left and right sides of the lower surface of the fixed plate 18. A liquid sample box 20 is installed at one end of the two L-shaped connecting rods 19 away from the fixed plate 18. A fixed rod 21 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the liquid sample box 20, and a baffle 24 is installed on the upper end of the fixed rod 21. The fixed rod 21 and the baffle 24 are of an integrated design, which can limit the position of the movable plate 22 to prevent the movable plate 22 from rising too much.

[0025] A movable plate 22 is movably installed on the outer side of the upper part of the two fixed rods 21, and two springs 23 are installed on the lower surface of the movable plate 22. The end of the spring 23 away from the movable plate 22 is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the liquid sample box 20. The spring 23 is located on the outer side of the fixed rod 21. A resistance plate 26 is installed on the lower surface of the movable plate 22. The resistance plate 26 and the movable plate 22 are of an integral design. The axial cross-section of the resistance plate 26 is trapezoidal. The rotating plate 28 and the resistance plate 26 cooperate with each other. When the rotating plate 28 contacts the resistance plate 26, it continues to rotate, driving the movable plate 22 to move upward. At this time, the movable plate 22 drives the box cover 25 to move upward as a whole, and the liquid enters the inner cavity of the liquid sample box 20. Then the rotating plate 28 continues to rotate. When passing through the resistance plate 26, the movable plate 22 descends under the action of the spring 23, driving the box cover 25 to close, thereby completing the collection of the liquid sample.

[0026] A box cover 25 is installed on the outside of the movable plate 22. The liquid collection device also includes a small motor 27 installed in the middle of the lower surface of the fixed plate 18. The output end of the small motor 27 movably penetrates the upper surface of the box cover 25 and a rotating plate 28 is installed, which improves the work efficiency of liquid sample collection and increases the practicality of the drone.

[0027] Working principle: When collecting fixed samples, the present invention first needs to operate the drone body 1 so that the sample to be collected is exactly between the sample shovel 11 and the leak-proof box 13, and then turn on the switch of the motor 8. The motor 8 drives the threaded rod 16 to rotate, so that the moving plate 9 moves to the rear side. At this time, the moving plate 9 drives the support rod 7 to rotate, so that the two movable rods 5 move toward each other as a whole, and drive the sample shovel 11 and the leak-proof box 13 to move toward each other through the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 12. At this time, the pushing plate 15 cooperates with the sample shovel 11 to push the sample to be collected into the sample shovel 11, and then the pushing plate 15 enters the sample shovel 11. The leak-proof box 13 is sleeved on the outside of the sample shovel 11 to protect the sample and prevent the drone body 1 from causing the sample shovel 11 to leak during flight. 1, the solid sample collection work is completed. When it is necessary to collect liquid samples, it is necessary to first control the drone body 1 to fly above the liquid level to be collected, then turn on the switch of the electric telescopic rod 17, drive the liquid sample box 20 to be inserted below the liquid level through the fixed plate 18 and the L-shaped connecting rod 19, then turn on the switch of the small motor 27, drive the rotating plate 28 to rotate, and when the rotating plate 28 contacts the contact plate 26, it continues to rotate, driving the movable plate 22 to move upward. At this time, the movable plate 22 drives the box cover 25 to move upward as a whole, and the liquid enters the inner cavity of the liquid sample box 20. Then the rotating plate 28 continues to rotate. When passing the contact plate 26, the movable plate 22 descends under the action of the spring 23, driving the box cover 25 to close, and completing the collection and preservation of the liquid sample.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
