[0029] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] The photovoltaic pile foundation positioning and marking device of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the photovoltaic pile foundation positioning and marking device of this embodiment includes: a driving component (not shown in the figure), a marking component, and a detection component.

[0032] The driving components include a drone and a remote controller. The marking component is mounted on the drone. Workers input the coordinates of multiple photovoltaic piles into the remote controller, which then controls the drone's flight, moving the marking component. Once the marking component reaches the preset photovoltaic pile location, it performs a visual positioning and marking operation on the ground. A detection component is mounted on the marking component. After the marking component completes one positioning and marking operation, the detection component checks the effectiveness of the completed positioning and marking operation. If the inspection is successful, the drone carries the marking component to the next location to be marked.

[0033] Understandably, using drones to carry marking components for the positioning and marking of photovoltaic pile foundations avoids the problems of large errors, inefficiency, and high labor costs associated with manual methods such as pulling ropes, measuring distances, and inserting markers in related technologies. The effectiveness of the positioning and marking work is ensured by using detection components to inspect the completed positioning and marking work.

[0034] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the marking assembly includes a support frame 1, a pigment container 2, a discharge pipe 3, and a nozzle 4. The support frame 1 is detachably connected to the drone, for example, by bolts or clips. The pigment container 2 is mounted on the support frame 1. One end of the discharge pipe 3 is connected to the pigment container 2, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 4, so that the pigment stored in the pigment container 2 is transported into the discharge pipe 3 and then sprayed out through the nozzle 4, thereby completing the positioning and marking operation.

[0035] The detection component is used to detect the effect of the ink sprayed by the nozzle 4. For example, the detection component detects the depth of the marking color. If the marking color is too light, that is, the visibility is low, the ink is sprayed again by the nozzle 4 to enhance the marking effect.

[0036] Furthermore, the nozzle 4 has a central nozzle located at its center and an annular nozzle surrounding the central nozzle, thereby marking circles with a center point on the ground. The circular markings sprayed by the annular nozzles are used to determine the range of subsequent drilled pile foundation holes, while the center point markings sprayed by the central nozzles are used to determine the center of the subsequent drilled pile foundation holes, thus improving the convenience of subsequent drilling. Moreover, compared to spraying pigment in a complete circle, spraying pigment in a circle with a center point requires less pigment, thereby reducing the liquid storage capacity of the pigment container 2 and consequently reducing the payload of the drone.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the nozzle 4 includes a cylindrical body 41 and a filler 42 disposed within the cylindrical body 41. The filler 42 is cylindrical, and the central axis of the cylindrical body 41 and the central axis of the filler 42 are coaxially arranged. The inner wall of the cylindrical body 41 is spaced apart from the peripheral wall of the filler 42, so that the inner wall of the cylindrical body 41 and the peripheral wall of the filler 42 define an annular channel 401. The inlet of the annular channel 401 is connected to the outlet of the discharge pipe 3, and the outlet of the annular channel 401 is an annular nozzle. The filler 42 is provided with a central channel 402, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the discharge pipe 3, and the outlet of the central channel 402 is a central nozzle.

[0038] Understandably, the pigment in pigment container 2 is transported to nozzle 4 through discharge pipe 3, and the pigment in discharge pipe 3 enters the central channel 402 and the annular channel 401 respectively, thereby spraying out a circular mark with a center point.

[0039] Optionally, a plurality of connecting posts (not shown in the figure) are provided between the inner wall of the cylinder 41 and the outer peripheral wall of the filler 42. One end of the connecting post is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 41 (by welding, etc.), and the other end of the connecting post is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the filler 42.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pigment container 2, the discharge pipe 3, and the nozzle 4 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The cylinder 41 and the filler 42 are both arranged in the vertical direction. The central axis of the cylinder 41 is coaxial with the central axis of the discharge pipe 3. The upper end of the central channel 402 is flush with the upper end of the annular channel 401, and the lower end of the central channel 402 is flush with the lower end of the annular channel 401.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the filler 42 has an annular cone 43 at one end near the outlet of the discharge pipe 3 (i.e., the upper end of the filler 42). The discharge pipe 3 has an inlet at its upper end and an outlet at its lower end. At least a portion of the annular cone 43 extends through the outlet of the discharge pipe 3, dividing the outlet of the discharge pipe 3 into a first opening 301 and a second opening 302 surrounding the first opening 301. The central through-hole of the annular cone 43 is a first flow channel 403, so that the first opening 301 communicates with the central channel 402 through the first flow channel 403. The outer wall of the annular cone 43 and the inner wall of the cylinder 41 define an annular second flow channel 404, so that the second opening 302 communicates with the annular channel 401 through the second flow channel 404. Furthermore, the central axes of the first opening 301, the second opening 302, the first flow channel 403, and the second flow channel 404 are all coaxially arranged.

[0042] In other words, the pigment flowing out of the outlet of the discharge pipe 3 is divided into two streams by the annular cone 43. One stream flows into the central channel 402 through the first flow channel 403, and the other stream flows into the annular channel 401 through the second flow channel 404.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first port 301 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second port 302.

[0044] Understandably, because the amount of pigment required at the center point is less than that required at the outer ring in actual working conditions, the amount of pigment flowing from the outlet of the discharge pipe 3 into the annular channel 401 is greater than the amount flowing into the central channel 402, thus ensuring the feasibility of the positioning and marking operation.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first flow channel 403 gradually decreases from upstream to downstream in the direction of pigment flow, meaning the flow area of ​​the first flow channel 403 gradually decreases. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second flow channel 404 gradually increases from upstream to downstream in the direction of pigment flow, meaning the flow area of ​​the second flow channel 404 gradually increases.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the discharge pipe 3 is equipped with a first solenoid valve 31 and a second solenoid valve 32. The first solenoid valve 31 is located above the second solenoid valve 32, and the first solenoid valve 31 and the second solenoid valve 32 are used to control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 3.

[0047] Understandably, before the positioning and marking operation, the first solenoid valve 31 opens, allowing the pigment in the pigment container 2 to flow into the discharge pipe 3. Then, the first solenoid valve 31 closes, leaving the portion of the discharge pipe 3 between the first solenoid valve 31 and the second solenoid valve 32 containing pigment. When the positioning and marking operation is performed, the second solenoid valve 32 opens, allowing the pigment stored in the discharge pipe 3 to flow into the nozzle 4 for spraying and marking.

[0048] In other words, before each positioning and marking operation, pigment needs to be stored in the discharge pipe 3. Then, during the positioning and marking operation, the stored quantitative amount of pigment is used for marking, so that each positioning pile foundation mark uses a quantitative amount of pigment, thereby improving the consistency of photovoltaic pile foundation positioning marks.

[0049] Optionally, the volume of the discharge pipe 3 located between the first solenoid valve 31 and the second solenoid valve 32 is L1, and the sum of the volume of the central channel 402 and the volume of the annular channel 401 is L2, and satisfies the relationship: L1=L2.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pigment container 2 includes a cylindrical section 21 and a conical section 22 connected together. The cylindrical section 21 is provided with a filling port 211, and the bottom of the conical section 22 has a discharge port that communicates with the inlet of the discharge pipe 3.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cylindrical section 21 is located above the conical section 22. The cross-sectional area of ​​the conical section 22 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The injection port 211 is located on the upper surface of the cylindrical section 21, and the discharge port is located at the lower end of the conical section 22, so as to facilitate the injection and discharge of pigment into the pigment container 2.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper surface of the cylindrical section 21 is also provided with multiple balancing blocks 24 to ensure the levelness and balance of the pigment container 2. In addition, the cylindrical section 21 is also provided with an electronic signal instrument 25 for monitoring the position of the equipment, the level information of the pigment container 2, and the pigment liquid level.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 1 includes a hanging plate 11 and multiple hanging rods 12 connected to the hanging plate 11. The outer wall of the column section 21 is provided with multiple lifting lugs 23 that correspond one-to-one with and are connected to the multiple hanging rods 12.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, multiple lifting lugs 23 are axially spaced around the cylindrical segment 21. The hanging plate 11, the lifting rod 12, and the lifting lugs 23 are used to ensure that the pigment container 2 is set horizontally. Furthermore, the hanging plate 11 can be hung on the drone's bracket or connected to the drone's bracket by bolts.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection components include an image recorder 5 and an illumination lamp 6 located below the pigment container 2.

[0056] Understandably, after the nozzle 4 sprays the pigment, the image recorder 5 is used to record the positioning spray marks and check the effect. When the light is insufficient, the illumination lamp 6 is used to provide supplementary lighting during the recording process of the image recorder 5.

[0057] In summary, the working logic of the photovoltaic pile foundation positioning and marking device according to the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0058] First, the coordinates of the photovoltaic pile foundation are input into the remote controller (with memory card), and the drone takes off. The drone, carrying the marking component, flies to the predetermined coordinates. Simultaneously, the first solenoid valve 31 opens, stores a measured amount of pigment in the discharge pipe 3, and then closes the first solenoid valve 31. Upon reaching the predetermined coordinates, the drone checks the device's levelness. If the check fails, feedback is sent, prompting manual verification. If the check passes, the second solenoid valve 32 is opened, and the nozzle 4 sprays pigment, with the nozzle 4 at a height of 50-100mm from the ground. Finally, the positioning pigment mark is photographed to verify the spraying effect, and the data is transmitted back to the remote controller for storage. If there are any unclear marks, the first solenoid valve 31 and the second solenoid valve 32 are opened simultaneously to remark the location. After verification, the drone flies to the next pile foundation location for marking.

[0059] The device can perform the above-mentioned workflow automatically or be manually controlled via remote control. The remote control can display the device's real-time working scene, the coordinates of the completed positioning points, and the completion rate. The coordinates of the photovoltaic pile foundations can be entered individually or in batches. Through liquid level monitoring, the drone will automatically return to the feeding point when the pigment is insufficient. When the light is insufficient, the illumination lamp 6 below the pigment container 2 will be turned on.
