Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid level detection, and in particular relates to a device for detecting the remaining amount of medicine in a spraying drone. Background Art

[0002] In the process of agricultural modernization, drones are widely used for spraying pesticides. Accurately controlling the remaining amount of liquid medicine is the key to ensuring efficient operations and avoiding waste of resources. If the remaining liquid medicine cannot be known in real time and accurately, it is easy to cause delays in replenishment or excessive spraying, which will not only reduce operational efficiency but may also affect crop growth and the ecological environment. Therefore, reliable monitoring technology is urgently needed.

[0003] At present, the position of the liquid inside the medicine box is generally monitored by a liquid level sensor or other liquid level detection instrument, which can quickly and real-time detect the remaining amount of liquid, such as the agricultural spraying drone residual amount detection device disclosed in patent announcement number CN218411371U; However, during the actual flight operation of the UAV, its flight attitude is in dynamic change and does not always remain in a horizontal state. The medicine box is closely connected to the UAV and will tilt synchronously. Once the medicine box tilts, the lowest point of its inner wall will also change accordingly. Traditional liquid level detection instruments can usually only monitor the liquid level at a fixed point in the medicine box. When the medicine box tilts, this fixed monitoring point may not be able to cover the new lowest point of the medicine box, especially when the remaining liquid medicine gradually decreases to a small amount. It is very likely that the insufficient remaining liquid medicine cannot be monitored in time, which greatly reduces the effect of liquid level detection and seriously affects the continuity and accuracy of the UAV pesticide spraying operation.

[0023] The stabilizing mechanism includes a fixed tube 13 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the steel ball 83, and a movable tube 14 is slidably connected to the lower side of the fixed tube 13, a plurality of liquid holes 15 are provided on the lower side of the tube wall of the movable tube 14, a stirring assembly 16 is installed on the fixed tube 13, and a magnetic attraction assembly 17 is installed on the fixed block 81, the stirring assembly 16 includes a fixed ring 161 fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the outer wall of the fixed tube 13, and a plurality of grooves 162 are provided on the outer wall of the fixed ring 161, a stirring rod 163 is hingedly connected to the inside of each groove 162, and a centrifugal weight ball 164 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of each stirring rod 163, and under the centrifugal action, the stirring rod 163 will be thrown outward and opened.

[0025] The operating principle of the present invention is now described as follows: unscrew the tube cover of the feed tube 12, then pour an appropriate amount of liquid medicine into the medicine box 1, then install the medicine box 1 on the drone, connect the control end of the drone to the interface of the control main board 3 (the battery unit of the drone can power the control main board 3 through the control end of the drone, and the control main board 3 transmits information such as the liquid level to the remote control terminal through the control end of the drone), and then start the control main board 3 through the remote control terminal and the control end of the drone; After the control mainboard 3 is started, it will immediately control the two arc-shaped electromagnetic blocks 172 to be energized and work, and the two arc-shaped electromagnetic blocks 172 will be stably adsorbed with the steel ball 83. Then, the control mainboard 3 controls the driving motor 101 to work, and the driving motor 101 drives the steel ball 83 to rotate through the lower encoder 103, the connecting plate 102, the strip plate 5, the movable seat 7, the fixed block 81 and the arc-shaped electromagnetic block 172, and the steel ball 83 will drive the fixed ring 161 to rotate synchronously through the fixed tube 13, so that each stirring rod 163 rotates synchronously. Under the action of the rotating centrifugal force, Each centrifugal weight ball 164 moves away from the fixed tube 13, so as to pull the bottom of the stirring rod 163 to move a certain distance, so that each stirring rod 163 is opened. Under the action of rotation, each stirring rod 163 can stir the liquid medicine to keep the liquid medicine inside the medicine box 1 in a good uniformity. The arc-shaped electromagnetic block 172 and the drive motor 101 work for 3 minutes. After the work is completed, the control mainboard 3 will send a prompt message to the remote control terminal through the control end of the drone. At this time, the operator can control the drone to take off and spray the medicine; When the drone is flying with the medicine box 1 to spray medicine, due to the need for flight attitude control and other reasons, the drone fuselage is tilted, and the medicine box 1 will tilt synchronously at this time, and the medicine box 1 will cause the fixed cover 111 to tilt synchronously. At this time, under the action of the gravity counterweight ball 116, the end of the connecting bar 114 away from the rotating rod 112 will move to the lowest point after the tilt, thereby driving the rotating rod 112 to rotate a certain angle through the tension detector 115 and the connecting wheel 113. At the same time, since the connecting bar 114 is tilted, the tension detector 115 will detect the downward tension applied by the gravity counterweight ball 116 and the connecting bar 114, and the upper encoder 117 will convert the rotation angle of the rotating rod 112 into an electrical signal and feed it back to the control main board 3, and the tension detector 115 will convert the tension into an electrical signal and feed it back to the control main board 3; The control main board 3 controls the operation of the drive motor 101 according to the electric signal fed back by the upper encoder 117. For example, when the shaft of the upper encoder 117 rotates 30° along with the rotating rod 112, the upper encoder 117 converts the angle into a corresponding electric signal and feeds it back to the control main board 3. Then the control main board 3 controls the operation of the drive motor 101. The drive motor 101 controls the shafts of the connecting plate 102 and the lower encoder 103 to rotate synchronously. When the lower encoder 103 also rotates 30°, the strength of the electric signal fed back by the lower encoder 103 to the control main board 3 is the same as the strength of the electric signal fed back by the upper encoder 117. At this time, the control main board 3 controls the drive motor 101 to stop working. When the driving motor 101 drives the connecting plate 102 to rotate, the connecting plate 102 will drive the movable seat 7 to rotate synchronously by 30° through the strip plate 5. After the tension detector 115 feeds back an electrical signal to the control main board 3, at the same time, the control main board 3 controls the left electromagnetic block 94 and the right electromagnetic block 95 to work according to the electrical signal fed back by the tension detector 115. The lower the strength of the electrical signal fed back by the tension detector 115, the smaller the tilt angle of the medicine box 1. At this time, the control main board 3 controls the current passed into the left electromagnetic block 94 to decrease, and controls the current passed into the right electromagnetic block 95 to increase (after the control main board 3 is started, the control main board 3 will immediately start the left electromagnetic block 94 and the right electromagnetic block 95). Magnetic block 95, and the current intensity passed into the left electromagnetic block 94 and the right electromagnetic block 95 is the same), at this time, the magnetic thrust of the right electromagnetic block 95 on the same side permanent magnet block 92 increases, while the magnetic thrust of the left electromagnetic block 94 on the same side permanent magnet block 92 decreases, so the movable seat 7 moves a certain distance to the left end of the strip plate 5. As the inclination angle of the medicine box 1 becomes larger and larger, the lowest point of the medicine box 1 and the center point axis of the box cover 2 are getting closer and closer. At this time, the control main board 3 controls the current passed into the left electromagnetic block 94 to gradually increase, while the current passed into the right electromagnetic block 95 gradually decreases, so that the movable seat 7 gradually moves back, so that the infrared liquid level meter 4 can always be kept above the lowest point of the medicine box 1. To ensure that the remaining medicine amount at the lowest point can be detected (wherein, the reduced and increased current intensity is adapted to the tension detected by the tension detector 115. In the horizontal state, the electrical signal intensity fed back by the tension detector 115 to the control main board 3 is 0. At this time, the control main board 3 controls the current passed through the left electromagnetic block 94 and the right electromagnetic block 95 to be 2A. When the medicine box 1 starts to tilt, the electrical signal intensity fed back by the tension detector 115 to the control main board 3 gradually increases from 0, and the control main board 3 controls the current passed through the left electromagnetic block 94 to be reduced to 0.1A, and increases synchronously from 0.1A, while the current passed through the right electromagnetic block 95 is 3.9A, and decreases synchronously); During the flight of the drone, due to sudden acceleration or deceleration, the liquid medicine inside the medicine box 1 may shake greatly under the action of inertia. However, since the liquid medicine inside the fixed tube 13 and the movable tube 14 is blocked by the fixed tube 13 and the movable tube 14, the degree of shaking is not large, so the influence of liquid level fluctuation on the stability of liquid level detection can be reduced (when the liquid medicine is poured into the medicine box 1, part of the liquid medicine will enter the movable tube 14 and the fixed tube 13 through the liquid hole 15 of the movable tube 14, and the liquid level height inside is the same as the height of the liquid medicine outside, and the infrared liquid level meter 4 can measure the liquid level by emitting infrared rays and calculating the time required to receive the reflected infrared rays, so as to judge the remaining amount of medicine. When the medicine box 1 is tilted, under the counterweight of the fixed tube 13 and its auxiliary structure, and the steel ball 83 can rotate, the infrared liquid level meter 4 can always remain vertical).

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
