Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cloud-edge-terminal integrated processing technology, and in particular to a movable cloud-edge integrated intelligent inspection device and method. Background Art

[0002] The drone body, also known as the remote-controlled drone body, is an aircraft without passengers. It can be operated and controlled by remote control or autonomous flight. The drone body is widely used in many fields due to its flexibility, efficiency and versatility. The drone body is usually composed of components such as the fuselage, battery, motor, servo, sensor, control system and camera. Depending on the different uses and needs, the shape, size and configuration of the drone body are also different. Some drone bodies can only perform simple up, down, left and right flights, while other advanced drone bodies have more complex flight functions, such as automatic hovering, automatic obstacle avoidance, fixed-point hovering, etc.

[0003] The cloud-edge-end integrated intelligent inspection system is a complex but very meaningful task. The system combines the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and advanced technologies of cloud computing and edge computing. Its main components are as follows:

[0004] The cloud part includes a data center, an AI model library, intelligent inspection equipment, and a management platform. The data center is used to store and analyze large amounts of inspection data, including images, videos, sensor data, etc. The AI ​​model library is used to store and update various AI algorithms and models for tasks such as image recognition and data analysis. The management platform is used to provide a user interface for tasks such as task assignment, data query, and report generation. The edge computing nodes of the edge part are used to be deployed at or near the inspection site and are responsible for real-time data processing and preliminary analysis. Intelligent inspection equipment: such as drone bodies, intelligent robots, sensors, etc., are used to collect on-site data. Use high-speed communication networks: ensure efficient data transmission between the cloud and edge parts;

[0005] When in use, an inspection plan is automatically generated to optimize the inspection path based on factors such as equipment status and historical data. Inspection progress is tracked in real time, providing feedback on task completion. Smart inspection equipment collects field data, such as images, videos, sounds, sensor readings, etc. Edge computing nodes perform preliminary processing and analysis on the data, such as image recognition, anomaly detection, etc. The processed data is uploaded to the cloud for further analysis and storage.

[0006] For smart agricultural scenarios, by using the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, relevant information about vegetable planting sites can be obtained remotely in real time, transmitted to the cloud through the network, and the crop growth model analyzes various conditions suitable for crop growth. The cloud will send the analyzed model to the smart gateway. The smart gateway collects information based on the model and cameras and other equipment, and controls various equipment in the vegetable greenhouse planting site in real time to ensure the air temperature and humidity, soil moisture, soil temperature, and light intensity of the planting site. At the same time, according to the growth of crops or the images of pests and diseases, it can effectively reduce labor intensity and production costs, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and improve the quality and economic benefits of agricultural products. However, in actual use, the use of drones to obtain information in the planting site in real time has a delay in information collection.

[0039] The data acquisition component 106 includes a box 107, a plurality of data acquisition units 108 disposed in the box 107, and a locking unit disposed in the box 107, the locking unit is connected to the controller, and the controller is connected to the cloud 102;

[0040] The drone body 104 is used to cruise according to preset path information. Several information collection points are set on the cruise path. After the drone body 104 reaches the information collection point, the locking unit is controlled to operate so that the data collection unit 108 in the box 107 is separated from the box 107 and falls to the preset information collection point for real-time data collection, and the data information collected by the data collection unit 108 is sent to the cloud 102 for processing.

[0041] In actual use, the present invention mounts the data collection component 106 on the drone body 104, and the drone body 104 is used to cruise according to preset path information. Several information collection points are set on the cruise path. After the drone body 104 reaches the information collection point, the locking unit is controlled to move so that the data collection unit 108 in the box 107 is separated from the box 107, and then falls to the preset information collection point to collect data in real time, and the data information collected by the data collection unit 108 is sent to the cloud 102 for processing. The purpose of quickly arranging data collection points and intelligent inspection can be achieved, and the accuracy of data collection can be improved.

[0042] Furthermore, in actual use, the locking unit 109 includes an electromagnet 110 and an iron core 111. The electromagnet 110 is arranged in an array on the top of the box 107, and the iron core 111 is arranged on the top of the data acquisition unit 108. The data acquisition unit 108 is adsorbed on the electromagnet 110 through the iron core 111, and the electromagnet 110 is connected to the controller.

[0043] When the drone body 104 reaches the preset information collection point, the controller controls the on and off status of the electromagnet 110. At this time, the data collection unit 108 will automatically fall to the preset position in the planting area to collect data, and send the collected data to the cloud 102 in real time for data processing.

[0044] The electromagnet 110 is an electrically demagnetized electromagnet, which makes it safer to use and avoids the data acquisition unit 108 from accidentally falling off after a circuit failure.

[0045] The data acquisition unit 108 includes a data acquisition unit 108 body and an end 113 . The end 113 is fixedly connected to the data acquisition unit 108 body. A recess is provided on the data acquisition unit 108 body, and the iron core 111 is fixedly provided in the recess.

[0046] A telescopic rod 114 is provided between the data acquisition unit 108 body and the end 113 . When the telescopic rod 114 is extended, the end 113 is moved away from the data acquisition unit 108 and the center of gravity is moved to the position of the end 113 .

[0047] Furthermore, the end 113 is made of a material with high density, such as iron.

[0048] The data collection unit 108 body is used to collect data, such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide content, etc.; the provided end 113 can ensure that it is inserted into the soil after falling.

[0049] Furthermore, a buffer structure is provided between the data acquisition unit 108 and the telescopic rod 114 .

[0050] Furthermore, in some preferred implementation cases, the end 113 is an overall conical structure.

[0051] The telescopic rod 114 includes a plurality of connection tubes 115 that are sheathed together, and a locking mechanism is provided between adjacent connection tubes 115. The adjacent connection tubes 115 are fixed by the provided locking mechanism. After the telescopic rod 114 is stretched, a supporting structure is formed to support the data acquisition unit 108, and the locking mechanism may be a structure of a spring and a locking ball.

[0052] In actual use, a clamping structure 116 is further provided in the box body 107 , and the clamping structure is used to clamp and fix the data acquisition unit 108 body, and cooperate with the electromagnet 110 to achieve double fixation of the data acquisition unit 108 body.

[0053] Further, in actual use, a stretching assembly 117 is provided on the box 107, and the stretching assembly 117 includes a frame 1118, a first driving unit 119, and a plurality of limit rods 120. The frame 1118 is installed on the box 107, and a plurality of slide grooves are provided on the inner wall of the frame 1118. Two limit rods 120 are slidably provided in each slide groove, and sliders are provided at both ends of the limit rod 120. The sliders and the slide grooves slide with each other, and springs are provided on both sides of the slide groove. Under the action of the springs, the limit rods 120 in the slide groove are close to each other; the telescopic rod 114 on the data acquisition unit 108 passes through the gap between the two limit rods 120 in the same slide groove, and the end 113 contacts the limit rod 120; the first driving unit 119 is installed on the box 107 and connected to the frame 1118, and the first electromagnet 110 is provided on the inner walls of both sides of the slide groove, and the slider is made of iron material. The first electromagnet 110 is connected to the controller.

[0054] By setting the telescopic rod 114, the overall volume of the data acquisition unit 108 can be reduced, which makes it easier to carry the data acquisition unit 108 on the drone body 104. After reaching the preset information collection point, the first driving unit 119 can drive the frame 1118 to move, so that the frame 1118 moves in the direction away from the box 107. At this time, the limit rod 120 set in the same slide groove just contacts the end 113. When the frame 1118 moves, the limit rod 120 drives the end 113 to move, so that the telescopic rod 114 is extended and then locked and fixed by the locking mechanism, so that the telescopic rod 114 forms a fixed support structure after being stretched; information collection is achieved. After the point, at this time, the first electromagnet 110 is activated to adsorb the slider, so that the slider and the limit block limit rod 120 connected to the slider move. At this time, the controller controls the clamping structure 116 to release the data acquisition unit 108 body, and controls the corresponding electromagnet 110 to make the data acquisition unit 108 fall off. Due to the setting of the end 113, the overall center of gravity of the data acquisition unit 108 is close to the end 113, and it can be inserted into the soil of the planting site in a vertical direction, so that the data acquisition unit 108 can be quickly arranged, and the arrangement efficiency of the data acquisition unit 108 is improved. Compared with the use of the drone 103 to collect data during cruising, the collection efficiency of the present invention is higher.

[0055] Furthermore, in actual use, the buffer structure includes a buffer pad 124, which is a buffer air cushion, a cotton pad, a rubber pad or a silicone pad. The buffer pad 124 is located between the telescopic rod 114 and the data acquisition unit 108 body. The buffer pad 124 can play a buffering role to avoid damage to the data acquisition unit 108 body when the data acquisition unit 108 body falls and is inserted into the soil of the planting site.

In this way, the buffering effect of the buffer pad 124 can be improved.

[0057] Furthermore, in actual use, the clamping structure 116 includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block slidably disposed on the box body 107, and a rubber layer is disposed on the first clamping block and the second clamping block. A screw rod 123 is disposed on the box body 107, and a screw rod 123 is disposed with threads of opposite rotation directions.
