Description

Technical Field

[0002] In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the deepening of the country's low-altitude opening policy, UAV systems have been widely used in various industries such as public security, electricity, transportation and environmental protection with their unique advantages such as mobility, flexibility, speed, efficiency and safety. The dual-optical pod is an onboard optoelectronic device of the UAV. The existing dual-optical pod is mainly an optoelectronic pod containing infrared and visible light movements. Visible light is used for daytime reconnaissance, and infrared thermal imaging is used for reconnaissance at night or under low illumination conditions.

[0003] At present, the dual-light pod used in unmanned helicopters is arranged vertically in order to make the light cover the entire pod space more evenly, avoid the situation of excessive or weak local light, and provide a larger lighting angle for accurate monitoring and analysis of specific targets. The visible light camera and infrared camera in the dual-light pod are arranged vertically up and down. In order to have a wide field of view and horizontal scanning tasks, it is conducive to capturing large-area targets and scenes. The visible light camera and infrared camera in the dual-light pod are arranged horizontally. The cameras in the pods of these two methods are fixedly installed. With the increase in the use scenarios of unmanned helicopters, in actual use, two cameras are often required to work together, such as capturing a large area first and then accurately detecting the scene.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4A dual-light pod for an unmanned helicopter includes a pod body 1 and mounting seats 2 installed on both sides of the pod body 1 and driving the pod body 1 to rotate. The pod body 1 and the two mounting seats 2 form a spherical structure, one of the mounting seats 2 can drive the pod body 1 to rotate at a vertical angle, thereby adjusting the monitoring angle of the pod body 1. A transparent area 3, i.e., a monitoring area, is provided at the front end of the pod body 1. A vertical first support plate 4 is provided near the transparent area 3 inside the pod body 1, and a rotating platform 5 is rotatably installed on the side of the first support plate 4 facing the transparent area 3. A vertical second support plate 6 is provided in the middle of the pod body 1. The two ends of the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 6 are respectively fixed on the inner wall of the pod body 1, and the rotating platform 5 is disc-shaped. The upper and lower ends of the rotating platform 5 facing the transparent area 3 are symmetrically hinged with a first camera 7 and a second camera 8, i.e., the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 can rotate on the rotating platform 5. The first camera 7 is a visible light camera, and the second camera 8 is an infrared thermal imaging camera. A driving rod 9 is slidably penetrated through the middle of the rotating platform 5, the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 6. The driving rod 9 is perpendicular to the rotating platform 5, the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 6. A connecting ear plate 10 is hinged between the top of the driving rod 9 and the bottom of one end of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8, that is, the driving rod 9 moves forward and backward through the connecting ear plate 10 to drive the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 to rotate on the rotating platform 5 at the same time. A first sleeve 11 is sleeved on the middle of the driving rod 9, and a second sleeve 13 is sleeved on the bottom of the driving rod 9. A first one-way bearing 14 is connected between the top of the first sleeve 11 and the bottom surface of the rotating platform 5. A first motor 12 for driving the first sleeve 11 to rotate is installed on the surface of the second support plate 6. The first motor 12 is a servo motor that can move forward and reverse.

[0037] Reference Figure 2-Figure 5 The driving rod 9 includes a supporting upper rod 91 at the upper end, a sliding middle rod 92 in the middle, and a telescopic lower rod 93 at the lower end. The sliding middle rod 92 is rotatably connected to the supporting upper rod 91 and can rotate relatively. A second one-way bearing 94 is connected between the sliding middle rod 92 and the telescopic lower rod 93, so that under the action of the second one-way bearing 94, the sliding middle rod 92 and the telescopic lower rod 93 can rotate relatively and rotate synchronously.

[0038] Reference Figure 2-Figure 5When the first motor 12 drives the first sleeve 11 to rotate forward, the first sleeve 11 drives the rotating platform 5 to rotate through the first one-way bearing 14. At the same time, the sliding middle rod 92 rotates and the supporting upper rod 91 rotates with the rotating platform 5, so that the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 rotate with the rotating platform 5. The adjustment of the positions of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 in the pod body 1 can not only make the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 be used side by side, but also can swap the positions of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 for use. When the first motor 12 drives the first sleeve 11 to rotate reversely, the rotating platform 5 does not move and the supporting upper rod 91 does not rotate under the action of the first one-way bearing 14. At the same time, the sliding middle rod 92 drives the telescopic lower rod 93 to rotate through the second one-way bearing 94. Under the action of the second sleeve 13, the telescopic lower rod 93 drives the sliding middle rod 92 and the supporting upper rod 91 to move forward and backward, so that the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 rotate on the rotating platform 5 at the same time, that is, the angle between the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 in the pod body 1 and the horizontal plane is adjusted.

[0039] Reference Figure 2-Figure 6 The bottom end of the first sleeve 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second support plate 6, and the second support plate 6 can provide support for the first sleeve 11. A prismatic hole is penetrated inside the first sleeve 11. The sliding middle rod 92 is prismatic and matches with the inside of the first sleeve 11, so that the first sleeve 11 and the sliding middle rod 92 can rotate synchronously. The outer side of the first sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 12 with meshing gears, so that the first motor 12 drives the first sleeve 11 to rotate.

[0040] Reference Figure 2-Figure 6 In order to ensure the stability of the position of the second sleeve 13, a triangular support 15 for supporting the second sleeve 13 is provided at the bottom of the second sleeve 13, and a spherical bump is provided inside the second sleeve 13. The three legs of the triangular support 15 are fixed on the surface of the second support plate 6. The bottom of the telescopic lower rod 93 is a cylindrical cam structure. The telescopic lower rod 93 fits inside the second sleeve 13, and the spherical bump fits in the cam groove of the telescopic lower rod 93. Under the premise that the second sleeve 13 remains stationary, the position of the spherical bump is fixed. At this time, the telescopic lower rod 93 rotates. Since the spherical bump is limited in the cam groove, the telescopic lower rod 93 rotates and moves back and forth in the second sleeve 13.

[0041] Reference Figure 2-Figure 6A through hole for the driving rod 9 to pass through is provided in the middle of the rotating platform 5, and strip grooves for the connecting ear plate 10 to pass through are extended outward on both sides to ensure that when the driving rod 9 moves forward and backward, the position of the connecting ear plate 10 is pulled to change, thereby avoiding the blocking of the position of the connecting ear plate 10 by the rotating platform 5. A through hole for the driving rod 9 to pass through is provided in the middle of the first support plate 4, and the diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the first one-way bearing 14, so that the first sleeve 11 can drive the rotating platform 5 to rotate under the action of the first one-way bearing 14. A through hole for the driving rod 9 to pass through is provided in the middle of the second support plate 6, and the diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the second one-way bearing 94, so as to ensure that when the telescopic lower rod 93 drives the second one-way bearing 94 to move, the second support plate 6 will not affect its movement effect.

[0042] Working principle: During monitoring, when the relative angle between the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 needs to be adjusted, that is, the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 are arranged horizontally or vertically:

[0043] The first motor 12 is started to reverse, and the first motor 12 reverses to drive the first sleeve 11 to rotate. The rotation of the first sleeve 11 drives the sliding middle rod 92 to rotate. Under the action of the first one-way bearing 14, the rotating platform 5 remains stationary, and the supporting upper rod 91 remains stationary due to the rotation connection with the sliding middle rod 92. Under the action of the second one-way bearing 94, the sliding middle rod 92 rotates to drive the telescopic lower rod 93 to rotate. The rotation of the telescopic lower rod 93 causes the telescopic lower rod 93 to rotate in the second sleeve 13. Since the bottom end of the telescopic lower rod 93 is a cylindrical cam structure, when the second sleeve 13 remains stationary, the telescopic lower rod 93 performs a reciprocating sliding motion in the second sleeve 13, that is, it first slides out of the second sleeve 13 and then enters the second sleeve 13. When the telescopic lower rod 93 reciprocates, it drives the sliding middle rod 92 to slide reciprocatingly in the first sleeve 11 through the second one-way bearing 94, and finally drives the supporting upper rod 91 to slide reciprocatingly, that is, Figure 2 The first camera 7 and the second camera 8 are first moved backward and then moved forward. During the movement of the supporting upper rod 91, the connecting ear plate 10 simultaneously drives the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 to rotate on the rotating platform 5, thereby completing the adjustment of the relative angle between the first camera 7 and the second camera 8.

[0044] During monitoring, when it is necessary to adjust the positions of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 in the pod body 1, that is, the pitch angles of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 when they are arranged vertically:

[0045] Start the first motor 12 to rotate forward, and the first motor 12 drives the first sleeve 11 to rotate when it rotates. The first sleeve 11 rotates, and under the action of the first one-way bearing 14, the rotating platform 5 rotates. The rotation of the rotating platform 5 drives the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 to rotate at the same time. The rotation of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 drives the supporting upper rod 91 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the first sleeve 11 also drives the sliding middle rod 92 to rotate. The rotation of the sliding middle rod 92 is under the action of the second one-way bearing 94, and the telescopic lower rod 93 does not rotate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 in the pod body 1.

[0046] In summary, in the actual monitoring process, when it is necessary to first capture targets and scenes in a large area and then perform precise monitoring and analysis on specific targets and scenes, the first motor 12 first adjusts the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 to a horizontal arrangement, and then adjusts the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 to a vertical arrangement.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Reference Figure 7-Figure 9 In order to achieve the synchronous cleaning of the transparent area 3 when the angles of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 in the dual-light pod are adjusted, or the transparent area 3 is cleaned during the monitoring process to ensure that the monitoring quality is not affected, a rotating shaft 17 is rotatably installed at the center of both sides of the pod body 1, and a cleaning rod 16 extending to the surface of the transparent area 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of each rotating shaft 17, that is, there are at least two cleaning rods 16 on the entire transparent area 3, and second motors 18 driving the rotating shaft 17 to rotate are installed on both side walls of the inner side of the pod body 1. The two second motors 18 start and stop synchronously, and are both servo motors. The two cleaning rods 16 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the surface of the transparent area 3.

[0049] Angle sensors are installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 17 and the hinges of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8. A controller connecting multiple angle sensors and the first motor 12 and the second motor 18 is also provided inside the pod body 1. When the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 rotate, the angle sensor can determine the angle of rotation, and then under the drive of the second motor 18, the cleaning rod 16 can be rotated to the same angle. When the cleaning rod 16 rotates to clean the transparent area 3, it is after the angles of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 have changed, so that it will not affect the monitoring effect of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8. The cleaning here is only performed on the positions where impurities are easily adhered. In addition, the controller can be operated separately to clean the entire transparent area 3.

[0050] Reference Figure 7-Figure 11In order to enable the cleaning rod 16 to comprehensively clean the entire transparent area 3, the cleaning rod 16 includes a U-shaped upper rod 161 attached to the surface of the transparent area 3 and a swivel 162 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 17. The bottom of one end of the U-shaped upper rod 161 is fixed to the outer surface of the swivel 162. The middle part of the U-shaped upper rod 161 is attached to the transparent area 3 in an arc shape, which can make the fit tighter. At the same time, when in use, a cotton wipe should be set at the bottom of the U-shaped upper rod 161 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0051] Reference Figure 9-12 In order to prevent some impurities from sticking to the surface of the U-shaped upper rod 161 when cleaning, which affects both the cleaning effect and the monitoring effect, a plurality of air holes 163 are respectively arranged on the two side surfaces of the middle part of the U-shaped upper rod 161, and the plurality of air holes 163 on each side surface of the U-shaped upper rod 161 are connected by the same air channel. A micro air pump 166 connected to the plurality of air holes 163 is installed in one end of the U-shaped upper rod 161 away from the rotating ring 162, that is, the air outlet of the micro air pump 166 is respectively connected to the two air channels, and a first sliding conductive sheet 164 and a second sliding conductive sheet 165 are arranged on the inner side surface of one end of the U-shaped upper rod 161 close to the rotating ring 162, and the first sliding conductive sheet 164 and the second sliding conductive sheet 165 are staggered up and down, and two side walls of the pod body 1 are provided with two first fixed conductive sheets 101 and a second fixed conductive sheet 102, and the first fixed conductive sheet 101 and the second fixed conductive sheet 102 are arranged at the same The two first fixed conductive sheets 101 are respectively located at the two ends of the transparent area 3 corresponding to the side of the pod body 1, and the two second fixed conductive sheets 102 are respectively located at the middle of the transparent area 3 corresponding to the side of the pod body 1. The staggered first fixed conductive sheets 101 and the second fixed conductive sheets 102, as well as the staggered first sliding conductive sheets 164 and the second sliding conductive sheets 165 can make it possible for the micro air pump 166 to open a number of air holes 163 toward the edge of the transparent area 3 when the first fixed conductive sheet 101 is only in contact with the first sliding conductive sheet 164, and the micro air pump 166 to open a number of air holes 163 toward the middle of the transparent area 3 when the second fixed conductive sheet 102 is in contact with the second sliding conductive sheet 165, that is, the micro air pump 166 is controlled by the electromagnetic valve between the two air passages so that the air only enters one of the air passages to ensure the strength of the air blowing in the air holes 163.

[0052] Working principle: when the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 are in a vertical arrangement state on the rotating platform 5 and rotate, the angle sensors installed on the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 can determine the rotation angle of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8. At the same time, the controller controls the two second motors 18 to rotate simultaneously, and drives the two cleaning rods 16 to rotate in opposite directions at the same time, so that the two cleaning rods 16 slide in the transparent area 3, and the angle sensor on the rotating shaft 17 makes the two cleaning rods 16 rotate at the same angle as the first camera 7 and the second camera 8. In this way, while ensuring that the two cleaning rods 16 do not affect the monitoring images of the first camera 7 and the second camera 8, the restoration area can be cleaned twice when restoring after the initial adjustment. When the first camera 7 and the second camera 8 are in a horizontal arrangement state on the rotating platform 5 and rotate, the two cleaning rods 16 remain stationary;

[0053] In addition, when the first camera 7 or the second camera 8 monitors that impurities adhere to the surface of the transparent area 3 affect the monitoring image, the controller controls the two second motors 18 to work, and the two second motors 18 start to drive the two cleaning rods 16 to clean the entire area within the transparent area 3;

[0054] During the cleaning process of the two cleaning rods 16, when the cleaning rod 16 at the upper end moves downward, the U-shaped upper rod 161 of the cleaning rod 16 moves downward. During the downward movement, when the second sliding conductive sheet 165 on the U-shaped upper rod 161 contacts the second fixed conductive sheet 102, the micro air pump 166 in the U-shaped upper rod 161 is started, and the plurality of air holes 163 located below the U-shaped upper rod 161 are opened. The plurality of air holes 163 simultaneously spray air to blow away the impurities adhered to the surface of the U-shaped upper rod 161 during the downward cleaning process of the U-shaped upper rod 161. At the same time, when the U-shaped upper rod 161 of the cleaning rod 16 at the lower end moves upward, when the second sliding conductive sheet 165 of the U-shaped upper rod 161 contacts the second fixed conductive sheet 102, the micro air pump 166 in the U-shaped upper rod 161 is started, and the plurality of air holes 163 located above the U-shaped upper rod 161 are opened.

[0055] Similarly, when the U-shaped upper rod 161 of the cleaning rod 16 located at the upper end moves upward, when the first sliding conductive sheet 164 of the U-shaped upper rod 161 contacts the first fixed conductive sheet 101, the micro air pump 166 of the U-shaped upper rod 161 starts and opens several air holes 163 located above the U-shaped upper rod 161. When the U-shaped upper rod 161 of the cleaning rod 16 located at the lower end moves downward, when the first sliding conductive sheet 164 on the U-shaped upper rod 161 contacts the first fixed conductive sheet 101, the micro air pump 166 of the U-shaped upper rod 161 starts and opens several air holes 163 located below the U-shaped upper rod 161.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. 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.
