Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mapping UAV bodies, and specifically to a mapping UAV for civil engineering construction. Background Art

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, with the continuous expansion of construction scale and the increasing complexity of construction environments, UAV mapping technology has become an indispensable and important means. Whether it is the refined construction of large building complexes, the precise erection of bridge projects, or the steady progress of tunnel projects, they all highly rely on UAV mapping to achieve efficient and accurate phased progress assessment and quality control.

[0003] Under complex terrain conditions, such as mountainous areas and canyon zones, traditional manual mapping methods face many challenges. Not only is the efficiency low, but when facing areas that are difficult to reach on steep slopes and in thick jungles, accurate data is often impossible to obtain. At this time, UAVs, relying on their flexible flight capabilities, can easily penetrate these complex areas and quickly collect terrain information. However, these environments are filled with various obstacles, such as tall trees and sharp rocks. Existing mapping UAV bodies generally do not have protective measures. Even if there are protective measures, they are only to install a protective cage on the surface of the UAV. The protective cage not only greatly reduces the flight flexibility of the UAV, seriously affecting the operation efficiency, but also when flying through narrow spaces or close to obstacles, it is extremely easy to rub and stick to external objects such as trees, resulting in damage or even crash of the UAV, further causing interruption of data collection and economic losses.

[0004] From the perspective of dynamic monitoring, during the construction process of civil engineering, it is necessary to continuously monitor the settlement of buildings and the deformation of bridge structures. This requires the UAV to fly stably for a long time and ensure the safety and accuracy of the carried cameras, lidars, and other precision mapping equipment. However, existing protective cages will interfere with the normal operation of these devices and affect the accuracy of data collection. Moreover, due to the dynamic changes in the environment, existing single protective measures simply cannot comprehensively handle the situation and cannot provide all-round and multi-level protection for the UAV.

[0005] In addition, UAVs used in civil engineering mapping, due to their working nature, need to carry additional high-precision cameras and lidar equipment. These devices are expensive and extremely precise, and have higher requirements for protection. Existing protection methods cannot be adapted according to the special shapes and functions of these devices, and it is difficult to provide sufficient protection without affecting the normal operation of the devices. In summary, there is an urgent need for a brand-new, efficient, and highly adaptable auxiliary device that can specifically target the characteristics and requirements of the mapping UAV body for civil engineering construction, provide comprehensive and precise protection, so as to promote the further development of civil engineering mapping technology and improve the safety and efficiency of construction.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a mapping unmanned aerial vehicle for civil engineering construction, having the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Through the overall design, the present invention can bring the following benefits:

[0023] Significantly improve the operation safety: In complex terrains such as mountainous areas and canyons where there are many obstacles, the multi-layer protection device can effectively prevent the direct collision between the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body and tall trees and sharp rocks; for example, the outer strong and elastic protection structure can pre-buffer the collision impact force, reduce the risk of damage to the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body, reduce the occurrence of crash accidents, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body in high-risk environments, greatly improving the operation safety, and avoiding data acquisition interruption and economic losses caused by equipment damage;

[0024] Greatly improve the flight flexibility and operation efficiency: Different from the traditional heavy protection cage, the multi-layer protection device fully considers the flight characteristics of the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body in its design; using lightweight and high-strength materials, while providing reliable protection, it will not increase the load of the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body too much, enabling the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body to maintain good flight flexibility; when flying through narrow spaces or close to obstacles, it will not get scratched or adhered due to the protection device, ensuring that the mapping unmanned aerial vehicle body can efficiently and smoothly complete the mapping task, significantly improving the operation efficiency;

[0025] Provide all-round and multi-level protection: Aiming at the problem that the existing protection measures are single and cannot comprehensively cope with the dynamic changes of complex environments, this multi-layer protection device is designed for protection from multiple levels; for example, it resists collisions from the physical protection level and ensures the safe operation of the device from the device adaptation level, providing all-round and multi-level protection for the mapping UAV body and the carried devices, and effectively improving its adaptability and reliability in various civil engineering mapping scenarios.

[0026] 2. The present invention, by adopting the design of winding the airbag sheets, can bring the following benefits:

[0027] Space utilization advantage: In the non-working state, the airbag sheets in the winding design are tightly wound inside the frame covering component, occupying extremely little space; compared with the traditional block-shaped or large-area tiled protection structure, it greatly saves the internal space of the frame covering component, enabling the mapping UAV body to carry more necessary devices or increase the battery capacity, thereby extending the endurance time and enhancing the overall operation ability.

[0028] Efficient and extensive protection coverage: When the mapping UAV body encounters a collision risk, the winding airbag sheets can be quickly deployed; and due to their winding and retracting characteristics, they can cover a large area after deployment, providing a wide protection range for the mapping UAV body and the precision instruments it carries; in complex terrains such as mountains and jungles, if the mapping UAV body is hit by branches and stones from multiple directions, the winding airbag sheets can resist collision impacts from different angles in a large stretch, effectively reducing the probability of equipment damage and ensuring the continuity of data collection work.

[0029] Convenient maintenance and replacement: During the actual operation process, the protection device may need maintenance or replacement due to multiple collisions; the airbag sheet design structure is relatively simple, easy to disassemble and install; when the airbag sheet is damaged, the staff can easily unwind it from the frame for replacement without large-scale disassembly of the entire protection system, greatly shortening the maintenance time, reducing the maintenance cost, improving the use efficiency of the mapping UAV body, and enabling it to be quickly put into subsequent mapping tasks.

[0030] 3. The present invention, by the combined use of the airbag sheets and the pulling belts, can bring the following benefits:

[0031] Improve the adaptability to narrow and irregular environments and ensure the stability of protection work: The construction site environment of civil engineering is harsh. During the operation of the mapping UAV body, the stretching operation track of the airbag sheet will be slightly deformed due to external interference; such as being affected by vibration, impact or airflow. However, the design of the airbag sheet and the traction belt endows it with good anti-interference ability. Due to the thin sheet structure characteristics of the airbag sheet and the traction belt, even if the operation track is slightly deformed, they can still be normally deployed and play a protective role. That is, even if the outer protective strip and the inner protective strip in the frame covering assembly are deformed, the airbag sheet can still rely on its own flexibility and the traction of the traction belt, and can also adaptively move freely and adjust its position in the deformed frame, ensuring that the protection range is not affected, improving the adaptability of the protection components in narrow and irregular environments, and always providing stable and reliable protection for the equipment, maintaining the continuity and accuracy of the mapping work of the mapping UAV body.

[0032] Enhance the emergency protection response ability: In the civil construction mapping scenario, the flight environment of the mapping UAV body is complex and changeable, and the impact risk may occur at any time. When the equipment is close to the part to be impacted, the traditional protection mechanism relying on the acceleration sensor often fails due to insufficient reaction time. However, the design of the airbag sheet and the traction belt in cooperation with the infrared distance sensor can achieve more sensitive monitoring and response. The infrared distance sensor can accurately perceive the distance of surrounding obstacles in real time. Once a dangerous distance is detected, it immediately triggers the airbag sheet and the traction belt to work, causing the airbag sheet to quickly unfold, providing timely buffer protection for the mapping UAV body and its carried precision mapping equipment, greatly reducing the impact force at the moment of collision, and significantly enhancing the reliability and timeliness of emergency protection.

[0033] Optimize the overall performance of the protection system: The combined use of the airbag sheet and the traction belt enriches the functional dimensions of the protection system and realizes the coordinated operation of multiple protection mechanisms. The infrared distance sensor and the acceleration sensor complement each other, broadening the range of danger perception. The combination of the thin sheet design and the anti-deformation ability improves the applicability and stability of the protection system in different environments. The above comprehensive optimization enables the protection system not only to effectively cope with various complex working conditions, but also to reduce the impact on the flight performance of the mapping UAV body while ensuring the protection effect, achieving the balance between the protection performance and the flight performance, and improving the comprehensive operation ability of the mapping UAV body in the field of civil construction mapping.

[0034] 4. The addition of the buffer spring and the elliptical spring plate in the present invention can bring the following benefits:

[0035] Cooperative optimization with existing protection systems: Incorporating elliptical spring plates and buffer springs into the existing protection system of airbag sheets and traction belts can achieve cooperative optimization of all-round protection performance. In the initial stage of a collision, the airbag sheets and traction belts respond quickly, buffering most of the impact force through inflation and traction. Subsequently, the elliptical spring plates and buffer springs intervene to absorb and buffer the remaining impact force again, further reducing vibration transmission. This phased and multi-level protection cooperation greatly improves the overall efficiency of the protection system, provides more comprehensive and reliable protection for the civil engineering surveying and mapping UAV body and the precision instruments it carries, ensures that the instruments can always maintain a high-precision working state in complex and changeable construction environments, and provides a solid guarantee for the smooth progress of surveying and mapping work.

[0036] 5. The splicing design of the wavy plug strips and wavy channels in the present invention can bring the following benefits to the structure of the protection device for the civil engineering surveying and mapping UAV body:

[0037] Excellent longitudinal impact resistance: In the civil engineering surveying and mapping scenario, the civil engineering surveying and mapping UAV body will encounter longitudinal impacts caused by various complex situations, such as falling from a height or being impacted by strong airflows during flight. Compared with the traditional column rod plugging method, the cooperation of the wavy plug strips and wavy channels can, when subjected to longitudinal impact forces, utilize the undulating characteristics of the wavy structure to disperse and buffer the impact force along the wavy surface. The peaks and valleys of each wave interact with each other, acting like a multi-stage buffer device, effectively absorbing and weakening the impact force, reducing the impact of longitudinal impact on the structural components at the splicing point, greatly reducing the risk of offset of the two spliced cover bodies due to longitudinal impact, and ensuring the structural integrity of the protection device under complex working conditions.

[0038] Enhanced structural stability and reliability: The traditional column rod plugging method is prone to loosening after long-term use or frequent impacts, resulting in a decrease in the structural stability at the splicing point. However, the wavy plug strips and wavy channels fit tightly to form a unique interlocking structure. This structure not only performs well under longitudinal impacts but also maintains good stability under the vibrations and other forces in the daily flight. The mutual nesting of the wavy structures increases the friction and contact area at the splicing point, making the two cover bodies spliced more firmly. When operating in an environment with unstable airflow in mountainous areas or being affected by mechanical vibrations near a construction site, this design can ensure that the protection device always stably protects the civil engineering surveying and mapping UAV body and the precision instruments it carries, significantly improving the reliability and service life of the protection device.

[0039] Optimized integrity of the protection system: The cooperation between the wavy slats and the wavy channels, as the key part of the structural connection of the protection device, works in coordination with other protection components such as airbag sheets and elliptical spring plates to further optimize the performance of the entire protection system; when impacted, the wavy splicing structure effectively reduces the offset, ensuring that other protection components can function better; for example, when the mapping UAV body collides, the stable splicing structure can ensure that the airbag sheet unfolds accurately and provides buffering, and the bending strips and elliptical spring plates can absorb vibrations more effectively, making the entire protection system form an organic whole, comprehensively enhancing the protection ability for the mapping UAV body and its carried precision instruments, and meeting the high-performance requirements of the protection device in the complex environment of civil engineering surveying and mapping.

[0080] The retractable collaborative protection component 5 is used to provide convenient protection for the equipment;

[0081] The capsule guiding and damage prevention component 6 is used to guide the moving capsule and assist the equipment in buffering;

[0082] The retractable collaborative protection component 5 includes a shaft rod A501 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side wall plate 301. A gasbag sheet 502 is fixedly connected to the shaft rod A501. One end of the gasbag sheet 502 away from the shaft rod A501 is fixedly connected to a pulling belt 503. A storage bin 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the side wall plate 301. A shaft rod B505 is rotatably connected in the storage bin 504. One end of the pulling belt 503 away from the gasbag sheet 502 is wound around the shaft rod B505. A concave ring groove 506 is opened on the shaft rod A501. An air inlet hole 507 communicating through is opened on the shaft rod A501 at the position where the concave ring groove 506 is located. An annular member 508 is slidably connected to the concave ring groove 506. A pump air pipe 509 is fixedly connected to the annular member 508;

[0083] The capsule guiding and damage prevention component 6 includes a buffer spring 601 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the connecting cross bar 304. The bottom end of the buffer spring 601 is fixedly connected to a bent bar 602. The top end of the bent bar 602 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the connecting cross bar 304. An elliptical spring plate 603 is fixedly connected to the bent bar 602.

[0084] The retractable collaborative protection component 5 is used to provide convenient protection for the equipment.

[0085] The inside of the shaft rod A501 is hollow.

[0086] One end of the gasbag sheet 502 communicates with the hollow inside of the shaft rod A501.

[0087] Both the shaft rod A501 and the shaft rod B505 are driven by motors.

[0088] The annular part 508 is adapted to the concave annular groove 506 and has a good seal.

[0089] The pump air pipe 509 is connected to an external air pump.

[0090] The capsule guiding and anti-damage component 6 is used to guide the moving capsule and assist the equipment in buffering.

[0091] Among them:

[0092] The working principle of all the contents in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0093] In the initial state:

[0094] The buffer spring 601 in the connecting cross bar 304 is not compressed, the airbag sheet 502 is wound around the shaft rod A501, the shaft rod B505 does not wind the pulling belt 503, and the elliptical spring plate 603 is not compressed.

[0095] Working process:

[0096] When in use, first install the frame covering component 3 symmetrically on the surveying instrument 203 in the surveying group 2 through the stable impact reduction component 4; then the required components or instruments can be assembled on the surveying UAV body 1, and then the flight surveying work can be carried out;

[0097] Furthermore, when the surveying UAV body 1 is at risk of collision, the acceleration sensor and the infrared distance sensor on the surveying UAV body 1 will cooperate to make the total control system control the air pump and the shaft rod A501 and the shaft rod B505 that are electrically connected to it to work. Specifically, the shaft rod B505 in the storage bin 504 will wind the pulling belt 503, and at this time the shaft rod A501 will rotate in cooperation, so that the airbag sheet 502 will gradually unwind from the shaft rod A501 and gradually move closer to the shaft rod A501. During this process, the airbag sheet 502 will gradually move and cover the surveying instrument 203 with the assistance of the side of the bending strip 602; furthermore, as the winding ends, the air pump will pump gas into the shaft rod A501 through the pump air pipe 509 with the assistance of the annular part 508 through the air inlet hole 507. As is known, the inside of the shaft rod A501 is hollow, and one end of the airbag sheet 502 is communicated with the hollow inside of the shaft rod A501. Therefore, at this time, the airbag sheet 502 will inflate and bulge to provide protection for the surveying instrument 203; furthermore, during the impact, the bending strip 602 slidingly connected to the connecting cross bar 304 will also cooperate with the buffer spring 601 and the elliptical spring plate 603 to carry out collaborative buffer and shock protection;

[0098] Furthermore, by adopting a winding design for the airbag sheet 502, the following advantages can be achieved: space utilization advantage; when in the non-working state, the winding design of the airbag sheet 502 tightly winds around the frame covering component 3, occupying extremely little space; compared with the traditional block-shaped or large-area tiled protection structure, it greatly saves the internal space of the frame covering component 3, enabling the mapping UAV body 1 to carry more necessary equipment or increase the battery capacity, thereby extending the endurance time and enhancing the overall operation ability;

[0099] Efficient and extensive protection coverage: when the mapping UAV body 1 encounters a collision risk, the winding airbag sheet 502 can quickly deploy; and due to its winding and retracting characteristics, it can cover a large area after deployment, providing a wide protection range for the mapping UAV body 1 and the precision instruments carried thereon; in complex terrains such as mountains and jungles, if the mapping UAV body 1 is impacted by branches and stones from multiple directions, the winding airbag sheet 502 can resist collision impacts from different angles in a large stretch, effectively reducing the probability of equipment damage and ensuring the continuity of data collection work;

[0100] Convenient maintenance and replacement: during the actual operation process, the protection device may need maintenance or replacement due to multiple collisions; the design structure of the airbag sheet 502 is relatively simple, easy to disassemble and install; when the airbag sheet 502 is damaged, the staff can conveniently unwind it from the frame for replacement without large-scale disassembly of the entire protection system, greatly shortening the maintenance time, reducing the maintenance cost, improving the use efficiency of the mapping UAV body 1, and enabling it to be quickly put into subsequent mapping tasks.

[0101] Furthermore, by the combined use of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503, the following advantages can be achieved: improving the adaptability to narrow and irregular environments and ensuring the stability of the protection work; the construction site environment of civil engineering is harsh, and during the operation of the mapping UAV body 1, the stretching operation track of the airbag sheet 502 may be slightly deformed due to external interference; such as being affected by vibration, impact or air flow; however, the design of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 endows them with good anti-interference ability; due to the thin-sheet structure characteristics of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503, even if the operation track is slightly deformed, they can still deploy normally and play a protective role; that is, even if the outer protection strip 302 and the inner protection strip 303 in the frame covering component 3 are deformed, the airbag sheet 502 can still rely on its own flexibility and the traction of the pulling belt 503 to adaptively move freely and adjust its position in the deformed frame, ensuring that the protection range is not affected, improving the adaptability of the protection components in narrow and irregular environments, and always providing stable and reliable protection for the equipment, maintaining the continuity and accuracy of the mapping work of the mapping UAV body 1;

[0102] Enhance the emergency protection response ability: In the civil construction surveying and mapping scenario, the flight environment of the surveying and mapping UAV body 1 is complex and changeable, and the impact risk may occur at any time; when the device is close to the part to be impacted, the traditional protection mechanism relying on the acceleration sensor often fails due to insufficient reaction time; however, the design of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 in cooperation with the infrared distance sensor can achieve more sensitive monitoring and response. The infrared distance sensor can accurately sense the distance of surrounding obstacles in real time. Once a dangerous distance is detected, it immediately triggers the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 to work, causing the airbag sheet 502 to quickly expand, providing timely buffer protection for the surveying and mapping UAV body 1 and its carried precision surveying and mapping equipment, greatly reducing the impact force at the moment of collision, and significantly enhancing the reliability and timeliness of emergency protection;

[0103] Optimize the overall performance of the protection system: The combined use of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 enriches the functional dimensions of the protection system and realizes the coordinated operation of multiple protection mechanisms; the infrared distance sensor and the acceleration sensor complement each other, broadening the range of danger perception; the combination of the thin sheet design and the anti-deformation ability improves the applicability and stability of the protection system in different environments; the above comprehensive optimization enables the protection system not only to effectively cope with various complex working conditions, but also to reduce the impact on the flight performance of the surveying and mapping UAV body 1 while ensuring the protection effect, achieving the balance between the protection performance and the flight performance, and improving the comprehensive operation ability of the surveying and mapping UAV body 1 in the field of civil construction surveying and mapping.

[0104] Furthermore, the addition of the buffer spring 601 and the elliptical spring plate 603 can bring the following benefits: Coordinated optimization with the existing protection system; integrating the elliptical spring plate 603 and the buffer spring 601 into the existing protection system of the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 can achieve the coordinated optimization of the overall protection performance; at the initial stage of the collision, the airbag sheet 502 and the pulling belt 503 respond quickly, buffering most of the impact force through inflation and pulling; subsequently, the elliptical spring plate 603 and the buffer spring 601 intervene to absorb and buffer the residual impact force again, further reducing the vibration transmission; this staged and multi-level protection coordination greatly improves the overall efficiency of the protection system, provides more comprehensive and reliable protection for the civil surveying and mapping UAV body 1 and its carried precision instruments, and ensures that the instruments can always maintain a high-precision working state in the complex and changeable construction environment, providing a solid guarantee for the smooth progress of the surveying and mapping work.

[0105] Furthermore, the splicing design of the wavy slats 402 and the wavy channels 404 can bring the following benefits to the structure of the protection device of the mapping UAV body 1: excellent longitudinal impact resistance; in the civil engineering mapping scenario, the mapping UAV body 1 will encounter longitudinal impacts caused by various complex situations, such as falling from a height or being impacted by strong airflows during flight; compared with the traditional column rod splicing method, the cooperation of the wavy slats 402 and the wavy channels 404 can, when subjected to longitudinal impact forces, utilize the undulating characteristics of the wavy structure to disperse and buffer the impact forces along the wavy surface; the peaks and valleys of each wave interact with each other, like a multi-stage buffer device, effectively absorbing and weakening the impact forces, reducing the impact of longitudinal impact on the structural components at the splicing point, greatly reducing the risk of offset of the two spliced cover bodies due to longitudinal impact, and ensuring the structural integrity of the protection device under complex working conditions;

[0106] Enhanced structural stability and reliability: The traditional column rod splicing method is prone to loosening after long-term use or frequent impacts, resulting in a decrease in the structural stability at the splicing point; while the wavy slats 402 and the wavy channels 404 fit tightly, forming a unique interlocking structure; this structure not only performs well under longitudinal impact, but also maintains good stability under the vibrations and other forces in the daily flight; the mutual nesting of the wavy structures increases the friction and contact area at the splicing point, making the two cover bodies spliced more firmly; when operating in an environment with unstable airflow in mountainous areas or being affected by mechanical vibrations near a construction site, this design can ensure that the protection device always stably protects the mapping UAV body 1 and the precision instruments carried, significantly improving the reliability and service life of the protection device;

[0107] Optimized integrity of the protection system: The cooperation of the wavy slats 402 and the wavy channels 404, as the key part of the structural connection of the protection device, works together with other protection components such as the airbag sheets 502 and the elliptical spring plates 603 to further optimize the performance of the entire protection system; when subjected to impact, the effective reduction of offset by the wavy splicing structure can ensure that other protection components can play a better role; for example, when the mapping UAV body 1 collides, the stable splicing structure can ensure that the airbag sheets 502 are accurately deployed and provide buffering, and the bending strips 602 and the elliptical spring plates 603 can absorb vibrations more effectively, making the entire protection system form an organic whole, comprehensively enhancing the protection ability for the mapping UAV body 1 and the precision instruments carried, and meeting the high-performance requirements of the protection device in the complex environment of civil engineering mapping.
