Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of air pollution detection, and in particular relates to air pollution source tracing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Atmospheric pollutants refer to those substances that are discharged into the atmosphere due to human activities or natural processes and have harmful effects on people and the environment. In a dry and clean atmosphere, the composition of constant gases is negligible, but in a certain range of the atmosphere, trace substances that were not originally present appear, and their quantity and duration may have adverse effects and hazards on people, animals, plants, objects, and materials. At present, there are two main ways to achieve atmospheric pollution source tracing. One is based on site monitoring, which deploys refined monitoring grids in the region to monitor the environmental quality change trend in the region in real time. When pollution occurs, the pollution source can be traced according to the change trend path of the data. The other is based on the air quality model. On the basis of simulating regional meteorology, the diffusion of pollutants and the calculation of biochemical reactions between various pollutants are simulated to simulate air quality. When the air quality of a certain site is abnormal, the output results and transmission process of the model grid can be used to locate the pollution source, thereby tracing the pollution source. The above two methods are fixed monitoring points, which require the deployment of a large number of monitoring points and are costly. Another method is mobile, which mainly uses mobile devices equipped with online air monitoring and analysis equipment to move to different regional locations to monitor and analyze the atmosphere and trace the pollution source.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-9 As shown, an atmospheric pollution source tracing device of the present invention comprises a detection device 0 and a drone 1, a sampling chamber is provided in the middle of the detection device 0, the detection device 0 is installed on the upper end of the drone 1, a sampling channel is provided in the middle of the drone 1, the sampling chamber is connected to the sampling channel, and landing gears 2 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the drone 1;

[0031] The landing gear 2 includes two fixing seats 21 fixed at the bottom of the UAV 1, a rotating shaft 22 is rotatably installed between the two fixing seats 21, the rotating shaft 22 is provided with a rotating assembly, a hollow tube 23 is fixed in the middle of the rotating shaft 22, one end of the hollow tube 23 is connected to the sampling channel through a first hose, and the other end of the hollow tube 23 is hinged with two semicircular tubes 24, the two semicircular tubes 24 are closed to each other to form a circular tube, and a flip assembly is provided between the semicircular tube 24 and the rotating shaft 22;

[0032] The flip assembly includes a U-shaped seat 3 fixed at the end of the rotating shaft 22, and the U-shaped seat 3 is rotatably installed with a telescopic rod 31 through a rotating rod. The end of the telescopic rod 31 is hinged to the semicircular tube 24, and the U-shaped seat 3 is provided with a cavity 32. The rotating rod extends into the cavity 32 and is connected to a gear 33. A rack 34 meshing with the gear 33 is slidably provided in the cavity 32. A first spring 35 is provided between one side of the rack 34 and the side wall of the cavity 32, and a sliding rod 36 is fixed to the other side of the rack 34. The sliding rod 36 slides out of the cavity 32 and is connected to a push rod 37. The fixed seat 21 is provided with an arc groove 38 matching the push rod 37, and a boss is fixed on the lower side of the arc groove 38.

[0033] An air pump is provided in the sampling chamber for drawing outside air into the sampling chamber, and an air detection sensor is provided in the sampling chamber for detecting the composition of the air sample.

[0034] An air inlet cover 241 is provided at the end of the semicircular tube 24 .

[0035] The rotating assembly includes a motor disposed inside the drone 1 , and an output shaft of the motor is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft 22 .

[0036] The drone 1 is equipped with the detection device 0 to conduct mobile dynamic monitoring of pollutants within the monitoring range and start the source tracing work. The detection device 0 can collect environmental big data to an external terminal or an environmental monitoring cloud platform through wireless transmission. Combined with the comprehensive analysis function of the cloud platform, it can realize real-time collection and transmission, real-time monitoring of air environment quality, online data query, spatiotemporal dynamic trend analysis, pollution reduction assessment, pollution source tracking, automatic early warning and forecasting, comprehensive analysis of environmental protection information, etc., to provide information resources and timely and effective decision-making support for air pollution prevention and control work;

[0037] During the flight of the drone 1, the motor drives the shaft 22 to rotate, so that the landing gear 2 is in a horizontal state. Figure 8 As shown, the two semicircular tubes 24 are closed to each other to form a circular tube, the circular tube is aligned with the hollow tube 23, and the air inlet cover 241 at the end of the circular tube is located on one side of the UAV 1. When the air is detected, the air pump in the sampling chamber is used to let the outside air enter the sampling chamber through the air inlet cover 241, the circular tube, the hollow tube 23, the first hose and the sampling channel. The air detection sensor in the sampling chamber detects the components of the air sample, and the air sampling port is set away from the UAV rotor to avoid the airflow generated by the rotor from interfering with the detection data;

[0038] When the UAV 1 stops working, the motor drives the shaft 22 to rotate downward, so that the landing gear 2 flips downward. When the shaft 22 flips downward, the push rod 37 slides downward in the arc groove 38 and contacts the boss, thereby pushing the push rod 37 to slide toward the middle, that is, the rack 34 is driven to slide in the cavity 32 through the slide rod 36, so that the gear 33 rotates. The telescopic rod 31 can be driven to rotate relative to the shaft 22 through the rotating rod. The telescopic rod 31 can pull the semicircular tube 24 to flip with the hinge point with the hollow tube 23 as the center of the circle, and the semicircular tube 24 will flip to a state horizontal with the shaft 22. In this way, the two semicircular tubes 24 form a support foot for the UAV 1. Fig. 9 As shown, when the drone 1 falls, the supporting feet formed by the semicircular tubes 24 can support the drone 1 so that it lands smoothly.

[0039] With this design, when the UAV 1 is not in use, the supporting feet formed by the semicircular tubes 24 support the UAV 1. When the UAV 1 takes off, the landing gear 2 flips to a horizontal state, and the push rod 37 disengages from the fixed boss, and the elastic force of the first spring 35 pushes the rack 34 to reset, which can drive the two semicircular tubes 24 to close together to form a circular tube, extending the air sampling port. The structural design is reasonable and can increase the sampling range of the detection equipment.

[0040] The telescopic rod 31 is composed of a sleeve 311 and a piston rod 312. The piston rod 312 slides in a sealed manner inside the sleeve 311. The end of the piston rod 312 is hinged to the semicircular tube 24. An airbag 313 is provided on the inner wall of the semicircular tube 24. An airway 314 connected to the sleeve 31 is provided in the middle of the piston rod 312. The airway 314 is connected to a second hose near one end of the semicircular tube 24, and the second hose is connected to the airbag 313.

[0041] During the flight of the drone, the landing gear 2 is in a horizontal state, and the two semicircular tubes 24 are closed to each other. At this time, the airbag 313 is in a contracted state and fits against the side wall of the semicircular tube 24, and will not affect the air flow.

[0042] When the landing gear 2 is turned down, the semicircular tube 24 is unfolded to be horizontal with the rotating shaft 22, and the piston rod 312 is pushed to slide in the sleeve 311, and the air in the sleeve 311 is pushed into the airbag 313 through the airway 314 and the second hose. The airbag 313 expands to form a circle, filling the semicircular tube 24. Fig. 9 As shown, when the drone 1 falls, the airbag 313 will contact the ground, which can increase the contact area, and the airbag 313 can cushion the drone 1. The semicircular tube 24 is filled by the airbag 313, and the support for the drone 1 is more stable.

[0043] A mounting groove 11 is provided at the upper end of the drone 1, a mounting block 01 matching the mounting groove 11 is fixed at the bottom of the detection device 0, a groove 12 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 11, a locking block 13 is slidably provided in the groove 12, a second spring 14 is provided between the locking block 13 and the side wall of the groove 12, the mounting block 01 is provided with a locking groove 02 matching the locking block 13, and a toggle rod 15 is connected to the rear side of the locking block 13.

[0044] The upper end of the locking block 13 is processed with a bevel. When installing the detection device 0, you only need to push the mounting block 01 into the mounting groove 11, and the locking block 13 will enter the locking groove 02 to fix the detection device 0. When disassembling the detection device 0, you only need to use the toggle rod 15 to drive the locking block 13 out of the mounting groove 11, and the detection device 0 can be taken out. The operation is simple.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
