Detailed implementation mode

[0038] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the specific implementation modes.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a topographic survey image acquisition device for soil and water conservation according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a drone body 1; four support rods 2, which are evenly fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the drone body 1; four fan blades 22, which are respectively rotatably connected to the support rods 2 through rotating rods 21 and are electrically connected to the inside of the drone body 1; a camera 55, which is arranged below the drone body 1; an adjustment mechanism, which is arranged below the drone body 1 and is used to adjust the drone body 1; a self-cleaning mechanism, which is arranged on one side of the camera 55 and is used for self-cleaning of the camera 55; a protection mechanism, which is arranged outside the fan blades 22 and is used to protect the fan blades 22; the protection mechanism includes a protective cover 23, a controller 27 and a pen-shaped cylinder 25; grooves 26 are respectively opened at the bottoms of the support rods 2, pen-shaped cylinders 25 are fixedly connected to the top inner walls of the grooves 26, mounting brackets 24 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the pen-shaped cylinders 25, protective covers 23 are fixedly connected to the tops of the mounting brackets 24, and the protective covers 23 are respectively arranged outside the fan blades 22; the pen-shaped cylinder 25 is electrically connected to the controller 27.

[0040] When the drone is in flight, it conducts surveys by collecting topographic images through the camera 55. By setting up an adjustment mechanism, the height and angle of the camera 55 are adjusted to expand the shooting range of the camera 55. When the drone conducts field surveys, under the action of wind and sand, the lens of the camera 55 will be covered with dust. By setting up a self-cleaning mechanism, the lens of the camera 55 is wiped to ensure the shooting quality. When the drone is in flight, the fan blades 22 at the top are likely to hit the surface of branches or utility poles, causing the fan blades 22 to deform and be damaged, thus resulting in the situation of the drone crashing, which affects the efficiency of topographic survey image collection. The protection mechanism provided by the present invention is used to protect the fan blades 22 during use. When the camera 55 captures a branch or a utility pole, the camera 55 will transmit this signal to the controller 27. Through the controller 27, this signal is transmitted to the system program, and the system program controls the opening of the pen-shaped cylinder 25. The output end of the pen-shaped cylinder 25 drives the mounting bracket 24 to move upward, and the mounting bracket 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move upward. The protective cover 23 moves to the outside of the fan blades 22 to protect the fan blades 22. When the camera 55 shoots normally, through the controller 27, this signal is transmitted to the system program, and the system program controls the opening of the pen-shaped cylinder 25. The output end of the pen-shaped cylinder 25 drives the mounting bracket 24 to move downward, and the mounting bracket 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move downward. The protective cover 23 moves away from the fan blades 22, enabling the drone to fly stably.

[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the adjustment mechanism includes a fixed seat 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1. A bidirectional ball screw 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 3 through a bearing. Two moving blocks 34 are symmetrically threadedly connected to the bidirectional ball screw 32. The bottom ends of the moving blocks 34 are rotatably connected to a connecting rod 35 through a pin shaft. A lifting plate 36 is provided below the bidirectional screw. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 35 are rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 36 through a pin shaft. A first motor 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed seat 3. The output shaft of the first motor 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional ball screw 32. Two guide rods 33 are fixedly connected between the inner walls of the fixed seat 3. The moving blocks 34 are all slidably connected to the two guide rods 33.

[0042] The adjusting mechanism provided by the present invention is used to adjust the height of the camera 55 during use. It is necessary to turn on the first motor 31. The output shaft of the first motor 31 drives the bidirectional ball screw 32 to rotate. The bidirectional ball screw 32 drives the two moving blocks 34 to move in opposite directions. The moving block 34 drives the connected connecting rod 35 to move in opposite directions through the pin shaft. The other end of the connecting rod 35 drives the lifting plate 36 to move upward or downward under the action of the pin shaft, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the height of the camera 55. During the movement of the moving block 34, the moving block 34 slides on the guide rod 33, and the guide rod 33 limits the movement of the moving block 34 in the horizontal direction.

[0043] As Figure 5 shown, the adjusting mechanism further includes a rotating frame 4. A protective shell 5 is provided inside the rotating frame 4. Both side walls of the protective shell 5 are rotatably connected to the rotating frame 4 through connecting shafts 46. One end of each connecting shaft 46 extends outside the rotating frame 4 and is fixedly connected with a gear 42. Electric push rods 41 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the rotating frame 4. The output ends of the electric push rods 41 are fixedly connected with racks 43. The racks 43 are respectively engaged with the gears 42 on the same side. Sliding openings 45 are formed on the racks 43. Two sliders 44 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the rotating frame 4. The sliders 44 slide in the sliding openings 45 respectively.

[0044] The gear 42 and the rack 43 provided by the present invention are used to adjust the angle of the camera 55 in the vertical direction during use. By turning on the electric push rod 41, the output end of the electric push rod 41 drives the rack 43 to move. The rack 43 drives the gear 42 to rotate. The gear 42 drives the connecting shaft 46 to rotate. The connecting shaft 46 drives the protective shell 5 to rotate. The protective shell 5 drives the camera 55 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the camera 55 in the vertical direction. During the movement of the rack 43, the slider 44 slides in the sliding opening 45, and the sliding opening 45 limits the movement of the rack 43 in the vertical direction.

[0045] As Figure 5 shown, a cavity is formed inside the lifting plate 36. A second motor 37 is fixedly connected inside the cavity. The output shaft of the second motor 37 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lifting plate 36. The output of the second motor 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating frame 4.

[0046] The second motor 37 provided by the present invention is used to adjust the angle of the camera 55 in the horizontal direction during use. By turning on the second motor 37, the output shaft of the second motor 37 drives the rotating frame 4 to rotate. The rotating frame 4 drives the camera 55 to rotate, preventing damage caused by the rotation of the drone hitting hard objects.

[0047] As Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, an installation hole plate 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 5. A camera 55 is provided on one side of the installation hole plate 53. Two through holes are respectively opened at the top and bottom of the side of the protective shell 5 away from the installation hole plate 53. Two limiting frames 6 are respectively inserted into the two through holes on the same side. Both ends of the limiting frame 6 are respectively attached to the side wall of the camera 55. Fastening bolts 61 are fixedly connected to both ends of the protective shell 5. The limiting frames 6 are respectively sleeved on the fastening bolts 61, and rotating blocks 62 are threadedly connected to the fastening bolts 61.

[0048] The limiting frame 6 provided by the present invention is used to fix the camera 55 during use. When installing the camera 55, the camera 55 needs to be placed inside the protective shell 5 and one side is attached to the installation hole plate 53. Then, the two limiting frames 6 are respectively inserted through the through holes, and then rotated and screwed onto the fastening bolts 61 until the limiting frames 6 are closely attached to one side of the camera 55. The camera 55 is installed and fixed by the limiting frame 6 and the installation hole plate 53.

[0049] As Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the self-cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning cotton 73. A sliding groove 56 is opened on the inner wall of the protective shell 5. A reciprocating lead screw 71 is rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides at the top end of the sliding groove 56 through bearings. An installation seat 72 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 71. The installation seat 72 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 56. The cleaning cotton 73 is installed in the installation seat 72. A third motor 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective shell 5. The output shaft of the third motor 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating lead screw 71. The cleaning cotton 73 is flush with the lens of the camera 55.

[0050] When the drone is conducting field surveys, due to the action of wind and sand, the lens of the camera 55 will be covered with dust. The dust affects the shooting clarity of the camera 55. If it is removed multiple times, it will delay the progress of the survey. When the self-cleaning mechanism provided by the present invention is in use, the third motor 7 is periodically turned on. The output shaft of the third motor 7 drives the reciprocating lead screw 71 to rotate. The reciprocating lead screw 71 drives the installation seat 72 to reciprocate. The installation seat 72 drives the cleaning cotton 73 to reciprocate. The lens of the camera 55 is wiped clean by the cleaning cotton 73. After the cleaning is completed, the installation seat 72 needs to be moved into the sliding groove 56 at the end to not affect the survey and collection of the camera 55.

[0051] As Figure 6 As shown, heat dissipation holes 51 are opened on the side wall of the protective shell 5 close to the installation hole plate 53. A heat dissipation fan 52 is installed on the inner wall of the protective shell 5.

[0052] The cooling fan 52 provided by the present invention is used to dissipate heat from the camera 55 during use. When the camera 55 conducts long-term survey and collection, heat will be generated. By turning on the cooling fan 52, the temperature of the camera 55 is discharged through the mounting hole plate 53 and the heat dissipation holes 51, preventing heat accumulation and causing the components inside the camera 55 to be burned out.

[0053] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, a washer 54 is pasted on the inner wall of the protective shell 5. The washer 54 is provided between the camera 55 and the protective shell 5, and the washer 54 is made of silicone rubber.

[0054] The washer 54 provided by the present invention is used to protect the camera 55 during use. The washer 54 made of silicone rubber has good high-temperature and low-temperature resistance, which enables it to maintain good elasticity and buffering performance in different temperature environments, effectively protecting the camera 55 and preventing the camera 55 from being damaged by external forces when it falls.

[0055] Working principle: When the drone is flying, the fan blades 22 at the top are likely to hit the surface of branches or utility poles, causing the fan blades 22 to deform and be damaged, thus resulting in the crash of the drone, which affects the efficiency of terrain survey image collection. The protection mechanism provided by the present invention is used to protect the fan blades 22 during use. When the camera 55 captures a branch or a utility pole, the camera 55 will transmit the signal to the controller 27, and through the controller 27, the signal will be transmitted to the system program. The system program controls the activation of the pen-shaped cylinder 25. The output end of the pen-shaped cylinder 25 drives the mounting bracket 24 to move upward, and the mounting bracket 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move upward. The protective cover 23 moves to the outside of the fan blades 22 to protect the fan blades 22; when the camera 55 captures normally, the signal is transmitted to the system program through the controller 27. The system program controls the activation of the pen-shaped cylinder 25. The output end of the pen-shaped cylinder 25 drives the mounting bracket 24 to move downward, and the mounting bracket 24 drives the protective cover 23 to move downward. The protective cover 23 moves away from the fan blades 22, enabling the drone to fly stably;

[0056] When adjusting the height of the camera 55, the first motor 31 needs to be turned on. The output shaft of the first motor 31 drives the bidirectional ball screw 32 to rotate. The bidirectional ball screw 32 drives two moving blocks 34 to move in opposite directions. The moving blocks 34 drive the connected connecting rods 35 to move in opposite directions through the pin shafts. The other ends of the connecting rods 35 drive the lifting plate 36 to move upward or downward under the action of the pin shafts, so as to realize the function of adjusting the height of the camera 55. When adjusting the angle of the camera 55 in the vertical direction, the electric push rod 41 is turned on. The output end of the electric push rod 41 drives the rack 43 to move. The rack 43 drives the gear 42 to rotate. The gear 42 drives the connecting shaft 46 to rotate. The connecting shaft 46 drives the protective housing 5 to rotate. The protective housing 5 drives the camera 55 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the camera 55 in the vertical direction. When adjusting the angle of the camera 55 in the horizontal direction, the second motor 37 is turned on. The output shaft of the second motor 37 drives the rotating frame 4 to rotate. The rotating frame 4 drives the camera 55 to rotate, preventing damage caused by the rotation of the drone touching hard objects;

[0057] When the camera 55 is installed, the camera 55 needs to be placed in the protective housing 5 and be in contact with the mounting hole plate 53 on one side. Then, the two limit frames 6 are inserted through the through holes respectively, and then rotated and screwed onto the fastening bolts 61 until the limit frames 6 are closely attached to one side of the camera 55. The camera 55 is installed and fixed by the limit frames 6 and the mounting hole plate 53. The third motor 7 is turned on. The output shaft of the third motor 7 drives the reciprocating screw rod 71 to rotate. The reciprocating screw rod 71 drives the mounting seat 72 to move reciprocally. The mounting seat 72 drives the cleaning cotton 73 to move reciprocally. The cleaning cotton 73 wipes the lens of the camera 55 clean. After the cleaning is completed, the mounting seat 72 needs to be moved into the end chute 56, without affecting the survey and collection of the camera 55.
