[0037] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0038] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a photovoltaic engineering surveying and mapping UAV according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a UAV body 1, a surveying and mapping component, a driving component and a parachute component;

[0039] The surveying and mapping assembly comprises a housing 2 and a surveying and mapping device body 7, wherein the surveying and mapping device body 7 is installed inside the housing 2, and the housing 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone through a connecting assembly;

[0040] The connecting assembly includes a fixed block 3, and slots 16 are symmetrically provided on both side walls of the inner recessed groove at the bottom of the fixed block 3. An L-shaped connecting plate 13 is symmetrically installed in the top opening of the shell 2, and a plug block 17 is provided on the side wall of the vertical section of the connecting plate 13. A movable plate 10 is fixed to the end of the horizontal section of the connecting plate 13, and a spring 11 is fixed between the movable plate 10 and the inner wall of the shell 2; the movable plate 10 is set to be L-shaped, and the vertical section of the movable plate 10 is connected to the connecting plate 13, and the horizontal section of the movable plate 10 extends toward the middle of the shell 2;

[0041] The driving assembly is arranged inside the housing 2, and the connecting assembly is driven by the driving assembly to move, so that the mapping assembly is connected to or separated from the drone body 1. The driving assembly includes a cylinder 8, and an extrusion block 9 is fixed to the end of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 8, and the extrusion block 9 controls the two side connecting plates 13 to move closer or farther;

[0042] The parachute assembly is arranged on the top of the housing 2. When the housing 2 is separated from the drone body 1, the parachute assembly can be automatically opened to allow the surveying and mapping assembly to descend smoothly.

[0043] During operation, the surveying and mapping component is installed below the drone body 1 through the connecting component. The drone body 1 carries the surveying and mapping component and flies over the predetermined surveying and mapping area. Data is collected through the surveying and mapping device body 7, and the collected data is stored in the storage unit. When the drone body 1 is out of control due to the influence of airflow and its own uneven power at high altitude, the extrusion block 9 is driven to drop rapidly through the cylinder 8, and then the movable plates 10 and the connecting plates 13 on both sides are pushed to move toward the middle through the spring 2 11. The connecting plate 13 drives the plug 17 to disengage from the slot 16 to separate the surveying and mapping component from the drone body 1. At this time, the parachute component automatically opens, and then the surveying and mapping component is gently dropped to prevent the surveying and mapping component from crashing and causing the loss of internal surveying and mapping data. In addition, the ends of the horizontal sections of the movable plates 10 on both sides abut against each other to close the bottom of the surveying and mapping device body 7. In this way, when the surveying and mapping component lands on the ground, the surveying and mapping device body 7 is prevented from directly contacting the gravel or bumps on the ground, so as to protect the surveying and mapping device body 7 and avoid damage caused by collision when the surveying and mapping device body 7 lands.

[0044] The housing 2 has fixed plates 5 symmetrically fixed on both sides, the horizontal sections of the connecting plates 13 on both sides respectively seal and slide through the slide grooves provided on the fixed plates 5, boxes 6 are fixed on the opposite side walls of the fixed plates 5 on both sides, partitions 12 are fixed in the middle of the boxes 6 on both sides, the surveying and mapping device body 7 is installed under the partition 12, and the cylinder 8 is fixed on the top of the partition 12;

[0045] When working, the connecting plate 13 is slidably arranged in the slide groove, so that the movable plate 10 is stably reciprocated inside the housing 2. By setting the partition 12, the surveying and mapping device body 7 is stably installed inside the housing 2. The surveying and mapping device body 7 can be a laser radar scanning, a high-definition camera shooting, an infrared thermal imager scanning and other equipment, which can obtain the three-dimensional data, installation status and heat distribution status of the photovoltaic power station;

[0046] In addition, a battery is installed inside the box 6 to provide power to the surveying and mapping device body 7, and the box 6 also includes a storage device, a control unit, a data transmission unit, a balance sensor and other structures. The collected data is saved in real time through the storage unit. The data transmission unit is an existing remote communication technology. The collected data is transmitted to the background processing device through the data transmission unit. The background processing device analyzes and processes the data to quickly obtain the required data, which solves the problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and large manual operation errors in traditional manual surveying and mapping methods. In addition, the data is processed, compared and analyzed through automated algorithms. Analysis can calculate important engineering quantity data such as the installation area, number of photovoltaic panels, and line length of the photovoltaic power station, and automatically compare them with the design drawings to achieve accurate engineering quantity verification, so as to quickly and accurately complete the engineering quantity verification and data collection, and improve work efficiency. For example, for the area where the components have been installed, the photos collected by drone measurement photography are imported into the PIX4D software, and special color processing is performed on the unconstructable area. The design layout diagram and the measurement photography graphics are superimposed in the Aowei digital map, and then the difference between the on-site installation situation and the design drawings is quickly compared, so as to verify the completed engineering quantity;

[0047] In addition, by setting up a balance sensor to monitor the flight posture of the device, when the balance sensor detects that the surveying and mapping component and the drone body 1 are shaking significantly and the drone loses control and begins to fall, the control unit transmits a signal to the air pump, and the air pump controls the movement of the extrusion block 9 to separate the detection component and the drone body 1, so that the surveying and mapping component can be detached separately and then can be lowered smoothly to save data.

[0048] The parachute assembly includes a storage box 21, a support plate 22 is sealed and slidably installed inside the storage box 21, a parachute body 23 is arranged on the top of the support plate 22, the parachute rope of the parachute body 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the storage box 21, the horizontal section of the movable plate 10 is in contact with the bottom end of the fixed plate 5, the side of the movable plate 10 is in contact with the inner wall of the shell 2, the movable plate 10, the shell 2 and the fixed plate 5 form a closed cavity, and the top of the cavity is provided with a through groove 20 connected to the bottom of the storage box 21; when working, when the movable plates 10 on both sides move toward the middle, the air inside the cavity can be squeezed into the storage box 21 at the same time, and the airflow pushes the support plate and the parachute body 23 out of the storage box 21, so that the parachute body 23 is unfolded, and then the surveying and mapping component descends smoothly, avoiding the detection component from falling directly to the ground, damaging the internal equipment, and causing data damage.

[0049] A telescopic sleeve 14 is fixed between the vertical section of the movable plate 10 and the side wall of the shell 2. The telescopic sleeve 14 cover is arranged on the outside of the spring 4. A ventilation component is provided in the middle of the side wall of the shell 2, and the air is controlled to enter or discharge from the inner cavity of the telescopic sleeve 14 through the ventilation component. During operation, there may be puddles or other water-containing places inside the surveying and mapping area. In this way, the movement of the movable plates 10 on both sides simultaneously pulls the telescopic sleeve 14 to move, and the telescopic sleeve 14 is inflated through the ventilation component to expand the telescopic sleeve 14. When the detection component accidentally falls into the water, the buoyancy is increased by the telescopic sleeve 14 to prevent the equipment from sinking into the water and causing damage to the equipment.

[0050] The ventilation assembly includes a movable block 27, an air hole 28 is opened on the side wall of the shell 2, and the movable block 27 is adapted to the air hole 28. A support frame 15 is fixed on the shell 2 and located outside the air hole 28. A slide bar 25 is fixed on the support frame 15. The slide bar 25 horizontally penetrates the air hole 28. A slide hole is opened in the center of the movable block 27. The movable block 27 is slidably sleeved on the slide bar 25. A spring 26 is fixed between the support frame 15 and the movable block 27. When working, when the movable plate 10 moves to During the intermediate movement, negative pressure can be generated inside the telescopic sleeve 14, thereby attracting the movable block 27 to move along the slide rod 25 toward the inside of the shell 2. At this time, the air hole 28 is opened, and air can be inflated into the telescopic sleeve 14. When the movable plate 10 stops moving, under the rebound action of the spring 14, the movable block 27 is pulled to reset, and the air hole 28 is blocked again to prevent the air inside the telescopic sleeve 14 from leaking out. At this time, the telescopic sleeve 14 becomes an inflated air bag to provide buoyancy for the detection component to prevent the device from sinking directly into the water and causing damage to the device.

[0051] A groove is provided on the top of the extrusion block 9, in which a spring 4 is installed. During operation, when the detection component is installed at the bottom of the drone body 1 through the connecting component, the spring 4 is compressed. When the connection between the connecting component and the drone body 1 is removed, the spring 4 is released, and the detection component is ejected to quickly separate it from the drone body 1, thereby preventing the parachute body 23 from being blocked by the drone body 1 when opening, so that the parachute body 23 can be opened smoothly.

[0052] The side of the movable block 27 is fitted with the inner wall of the air hole 28, and a sealing ring 29 is engaged in the side groove of the movable block 27; when working, the sealing ring 29 is provided to increase the air tightness between the movable block 27 and the inner wall of the air hole 28 to avoid air leakage.

[0053] The connecting plate 13 is provided with a receiving cavity 18, and the plug block 17 is slidably arranged inside the receiving cavity 18, and a spring three 19 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 18 to reset the plug block 17; during operation, before the detection component is installed at the bottom of the drone body 1, the control cylinder 8 pushes the extrusion block 9 to move upward, thereby causing the connecting plate 13 to move a certain distance to both sides, so that the vertical section of the connecting plate 13 is adapted to the sunken groove at the bottom of the fixed block 3, and the spring one 4 is first placed in the groove at the top of the extrusion block 9, and then the vertical section of the connecting plate 13 is directly inserted into the sunken groove, at this time, the top of the spring one 4 can contact the inner wall of the top of the sunken groove and be continuously compressed, and at the same time, the plug block 17 is squeezed to slide toward the inside of the receiving cavity 18, and the spring three 19 is compressed. When the plug block 17 is aligned with the slot 16, the spring three 19 rebounds and pushes the plug block 17 to insert into the slot 16, thereby fixing the connecting plate 13 in the sunken groove, so that the detection component can be quickly installed at the bottom of the drone body 1.

[0054] Embodiment 2: Figure 4 As shown, compared with Example 1, another implementation of the present invention is: a tin foil 24 is fixed to the top of the storage box 21; when working, in order to restrict the parachute body 23 in the storage box 21, the tin foil 24 is very thin and easy to be broken through, and will not block the release of the parachute body 23. In addition, during the transportation and detection of the assembly, the parachute body 23 is restricted by the tin foil 24 to prevent the parachute body 23 from leaking out of the storage box 21.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, a method for using a photovoltaic engineering surveying and mapping drone is applicable to the above-mentioned photovoltaic engineering surveying and mapping drone, and includes the following steps:

[0056] S1. The surveying and mapping component is installed below the drone body 1 through the connecting component. The drone body 1 carries the surveying and mapping component and flies over a predetermined surveying and mapping area. The detection component is used to collect and process data.

[0057] S2. When the drone body 1 is out of control, the cylinder 8 drives the squeezing block 9 to drop rapidly, and then the spring 11 pushes the movable plates 10 and the connecting plate 13 on both sides to move toward the middle, and the connecting plate 13 drives the plug 17 to disengage from the slot 16, so that the mapping assembly is separated from the drone body 1;

[0058] S3, the movable plates 10 on both sides move and squeeze the air inside the cavity into the storage box 21, and the airflow pushes the support plate and the parachute body 23 out of the storage box 21, so that the parachute body 23 is unfolded, and then the mapping assembly descends smoothly;

[0059] S4, the ends of the horizontal sections of the movable plates 10 on both sides abut against each other, closing the bottom of the surveying and mapping device body 7 to protect the surveying and mapping device body 7;

[0060] S5. The movable plates 10 on both sides move and pull the telescopic sleeve 14 to move at the same time. Air is inflated into the telescopic sleeve 14 through the ventilation component, so that the telescopic sleeve 14 expands. When the detection component accidentally falls into the water, the buoyancy is increased by the telescopic sleeve 14 to prevent the equipment from sinking into the water and causing damage to the equipment.

[0061] Working principle: The surveying and mapping component is installed under the drone body 1 through the connecting component. The drone body 1 carries the surveying and mapping component and flies over the predetermined surveying and mapping area. Data is collected through the surveying and mapping device body 7, and the collected data is stored in the storage unit. When the drone body 1 is affected by the airflow and the uneven power of itself at high altitude and loses control, the cylinder 8 drives the extrusion block 9 to drop rapidly, and then the spring 11 pushes the movable plate 10 and the connecting plate 13 on both sides to move toward the middle. The connecting plate 13 drives the plug 17 to disengage from the slot 16 to separate the surveying and mapping component from the drone body 1. At this time, the parachute component automatically opens, thereby making the surveying and mapping component level. The movable plates 10 on both sides of the vehicle body 7 are arranged to descend slowly to prevent the surveying and mapping component from crashing and causing loss of internal surveying and mapping data. In addition, the ends of the horizontal sections of the movable plates 10 on both sides abut against each other to close the bottom of the surveying and mapping device body 7. In this way, when the surveying and mapping component lands on the ground, the surveying and mapping device body 7 is prevented from directly contacting with gravel or bumps on the ground, so as to protect the surveying and mapping device body 7 and prevent the surveying and mapping device body 7 from being damaged by collision when it falls to the ground. In addition, the movable plates 10 on both sides move and pull the telescopic sleeve 14 to move at the same time, and inflate the telescopic sleeve 14 through the ventilation component to expand the telescopic sleeve 14. When the detection component accidentally falls into the water, the buoyancy is increased by the telescopic sleeve 14 to prevent the equipment from sinking into the water and causing damage to the equipment.
