Among them, each obstacle avoidance connecting rod 401 is symmetrically arranged with the axis of the obstacle avoidance transmission rod 423 as the center line of symmetry.

[0039] Specifically, the rotation axis of the obstacle avoidance fan 410 is the axis of the obstacle avoidance bracket 402, so that the angle between the obstacle avoidance bracket 402 and the horizontal direction can be adjusted by moving the obstacle avoidance slider 421.

[0040] Specifically, the drone also includes: a base compartment 50; a cabin 10 having a cylindrical structure, with its opening facing and connected to the base compartment 50; and the cabin 10 and the base compartment 50 forming an accommodating space 500. At least a portion of the obstacle avoidance drive assembly 420 is disposed within the accommodating space 500. A through hole 100 is provided on the side wall of the cabin 10, and an obstacle avoidance bracket 402 passes through the through hole 100. A rotating pin 412 is inserted into the obstacle avoidance bracket 402 and the inner wall of the through hole 100.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, the UAV also includes: a limiting frame 200, which surrounds the cabin 10; multiple support plates 201 are provided on the limiting frame 200, and each support plate 201 is provided with a slot 202, with the multiple support plates 201 corresponding to multiple propeller assemblies 30; each propeller assembly 30 includes a fixing rod 32, one end of each fixing rod 32 is connected to the cabin 10, and the other end of each fixing rod 32 is connected to the propeller 31; each fixing rod 32 is engaged in the corresponding slot 202 to ensure the stability of the propeller assembly 30 through the limiting frame 200.

[0043] Specifically, each propeller assembly 30 includes a drive motor 33, which is drivenly connected to the propeller 31 to drive the propeller 31 to rotate; wherein, the drive motor 33 is installed at the end of the fixed rod 32 away from the nacelle 10.

[0044] Specifically, the drone also includes: a base 50, which is located at the bottom of the cabin 10; a mapping camera 300, which is mounted at the bottom of the base 50 so that when the propeller assembly 30 moves the drone, the mapping camera 300 simultaneously maps and films the location of the open-pit coal mine (the location to be detected); and a mounting base 60, at least a portion of which is located below the base 50, the mounting base 60 having a protective space 600 in which the mapping camera 300 is located.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drone also includes: multiple buffer components 70, each corresponding to a multiple propeller assembly 30. The first end of each buffer component 70 is connected to the bottom of the mounting base 60, and the second end of each buffer component 70 is hinged to the corresponding propeller assembly 30. Each buffer component 70 is extendable and retractable along the direction from its first end to its second end. Thus, by using the buffer components 70 and the mounting base 60, the problem of collision damage to the mapping camera 300 during flight or landing of the drone can be prevented.

[0046] Specifically, the mounting base 60 includes a mounting frame 61, a support frame 62, and a connecting rod 63. The mounting frame 61 and the support frame 62 are arranged opposite to each other. The connecting rod 63 is connected to the mounting frame 61 and the support frame 62 respectively. The mounting frame 61 is used to connect to the bottom compartment 50, and the support frame 62 is used to support on the support base surface. The buffer assembly 70 includes a retainer 71, which has a latch 710 for engaging with the rod 620 of the support frame 62. The latch 710 is interference-fitted with the support frame 62. And / or each buffer assembly 70 includes a guide sleeve 72, a pressure rod 73, and an elastic element 74. The guide sleeve 72 is used to connect to the support frame 62, and the pressure rod 73... One end of the device is provided with a limiting block 730 located within a guide sleeve 72. An elastic element 74 is located within the guide sleeve 72 and is clamped between the limiting block 730 and the end wall of the guide sleeve 72. This is to reduce the vibration of the propeller assembly 30 through the buffer assembly 70 during the operation of the propeller assembly 30. And / or each buffer assembly 70 is provided with a hook 75, with the hook inlet of the hook 75 facing upwards. The hook 75 can increase the contact area between the rod body 620 and the ground, thereby reducing the contact force between the drone and the ground when the drone lands and preventing damage to the drone. At the same time, the hook 75 can also assist the drone in lifting lighter items. Among them, the elastic element 74 is a spring component.

[0047] Specifically, the support frame 62 is formed by multiple rods 620, each of which is a damping rod, to provide shock absorption and cushioning during the landing of the drone. Each rod 620 is made of rubber and has a cylindrical structure.

[0048] Specifically, each propeller assembly 30 has a hinge seat 76 on its fixing rod 32, and one end of the pressure rod 73 is hinged to the hinge seat 76.

[0050] like Figure 3As shown, the drone also includes a warning component 203 and a battery component. The battery component is connected to the warning component 203. The warning component 203 is disposed on the limit frame 200 and surrounds the limit frame 200. The warning component 203 is powered by the drone's battery, enabling the drone to emit light warnings during flight to facilitate identification by the operator.

[0051] Specifically, the warning component 203 is a light strip.

[0052] Specifically, the battery component is connected to the obstacle avoidance drive motor 422, the obstacle avoidance sensor 20, and the drive motor 33 to provide power to these components. The battery component is a rechargeable battery.

[0053] Specifically, the drone also includes a control system. Both the control system and the battery components are located inside the cabin 10. The control system is connected to both the obstacle avoidance drive motor 422 and the obstacle avoidance sensor 20. After acquiring the detection results from the obstacle avoidance sensor, the control system controls the forward and reverse rotation of the obstacle avoidance drive motor 422 based on the detection results from the obstacle avoidance sensor 20. The obstacle avoidance drive motor 422 is a drive motor.

[0054] In the specific implementation of the embodiments of this application, when the drone of this application is in flight, the drive motor 33 at one end of the fixed rod 32 drives the propeller 31 to rotate, so that the drone drives the mapping camera 300 to map and photograph the location of the open-pit coal mine in the air. At this time, the obstacle avoidance sensor 20 on the top of the cabin 10 is powered on and operates, and the ultrasonic waves emitted by the obstacle avoidance sensor 20 will be reflected when they encounter obstacles. The distance between the obstacle and the drone is calculated by the time difference between transmission and reception. At the same time, the battery component inside the drone powers the obstacle avoidance drive motor 422, and the processor (control system) inside the cabin 10 controls the obstacle avoidance drive motor 422 to perform forward or reverse rotation. The reverse rotation causes the obstacle avoidance transmission rod 423 and the corresponding protective cylinder 403 and obstacle avoidance fan 410 to deflect downward or upward. When the obstacle avoidance fan 410 rotates at high speed, it can blow air downward or upward, thereby enabling the UAV to automatically move upward or downward to avoid obstacles when it detects obstacles in the air. When the UAV lands on the ground, the rod 620 of the support frame 62 cushions the impact on the ground, and the vibration generated by the landing will cause the fixed rod 32 to deflect. At this time, the fixed rod 32 pushes the pressure rod 73 downward through the hinge seat 76. Through the elastic action of the elastic element 74 on the pressure rod 73, the vibration of the fixed rod 32 of the UAV can be cushioned.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0056] The drone of the present invention includes a cabin 10, an obstacle avoidance sensor 20, multiple propeller assemblies 30, and an obstacle avoidance motion mechanism 40. The obstacle avoidance sensor 20 is mounted on the top of the cabin 10. Each propeller assembly 30 is connected to the cabin 10, and each propeller assembly 30 includes a propeller 31. The propellers 31 of the multiple propeller assemblies 30 are arranged at intervals around the cabin 10 to drive the drone's movement. The obstacle avoidance motion mechanism 40 includes multiple obstacle avoidance motion components 41, each of which... The system includes obstacle avoidance fans 410 and obstacle avoidance transmission components 400. Multiple obstacle avoidance motion components 41 are arranged around the cabin 10 at intervals. The obstacle avoidance transmission components 400 are connected to the corresponding obstacle avoidance fans 410 to drive the obstacle avoidance fans 410 to move and adjust the angle between the rotation axis of the obstacle avoidance fans 410 and the horizontal plane. After the obstacle avoidance sensor 20 detects an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance fans 410 rotate at high speed to drive the UAV to avoid the obstacle. This can prevent the UAV from being damaged by collision.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
