At the same time, after the air supply mechanism operates, under the elastic drive of the first torsion spring, the floating shell flips out of the installation groove and assumes a horizontal state. After the floating shell flips to a horizontal state, the floating airbags can be automatically deployed through the transmission mechanism. After multiple floating airbags are deployed, they can form a circular ring, which can reduce the collision force of debris in the water. Moreover, the air supply mechanism can inflate the deployed floating airbags, so that the floating airbags generate buoyancy after inflation to drive the measurement camera and the drone to float on the water surface, which is convenient for the operator to salvage and recover the measurement camera, reduces the recovery difficulty, improves the salvage efficiency of the measurement camera, takes less time and has low cost, and solves the problems in the prior art that the measurement camera and the drone are heavy, easy to sink into the water, and need the operator to dive into the water to salvage and recover them, with high recovery difficulty, long time consumption and high cost.

[0016] 2. Through the cooperative design of structures such as floating airbags, floating shells, and warning mechanisms in the present invention, when the floating airbags generate buoyancy after inflation to drive the measurement camera and the drone to float on the water surface, at this time, the measurement camera is located on the water surface driven by the buoyancy of the floating airbags, and the drone is under the water surface. During the deployment process of the floating airbags, the inner cavity of the floating airbags can drive the rotating rod to move. When the rotating rod moves, it can make the moving contact piece move into contact with the fixed contact piece to activate the operation of the warning light. Through the light color emitted when the warning light operates, it is convenient for the operator to quickly observe the measurement camera in the water, improving the efficiency and effect of the operator's search.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, the present invention provides a map photogrammetry device based on an unmanned aerial vehicle, which includes a highly integrated measurement camera 1, a floating mechanism 2 arranged outside the measurement camera 1, and a connecting frame 3 arranged below the floating mechanism 2 for hanging on the bottom surface of the unmanned aerial vehicle; The floating mechanism 2 includes an installation cylinder 21 vertically arranged outside the measurement camera 1, a group of installation grooves 22 circumferentially and equidistantly opened on the outer surface of the installation cylinder 21, a floating shell 23 hinged to the upper part of the inner cavity of the installation groove 22, a floating airbag 24 arranged in the floating shell 23, an annular sliding plate 25 moving up and down in the upper part of the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21, a gas supply mechanism 4 arranged in the lower part of the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21 for supplying gas to the floating airbag 24, a transmission mechanism 5 arranged in the floating shell 23 for driving the floating airbag 24 to expand, and a warning mechanism 6 arranged on the floating airbag 24; Among them, the bottom of the measurement camera 1 is detachably connected to the inner ring of the annular sliding plate 25. The upper part of the inner cavity of the installation groove 22 is provided with a first torsion spring for driving the floating shell 23 to turn outwards. The upper part of the connecting frame 3 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21. The middle part of the floating airbag 24 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the floating shell 23. A group of clamping blocks are circumferentially and equidistantly fixedly installed in the lower part of the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21. The upper surface of the clamping block is vertically fixedly installed with a two-stage retractable spring column 12. The top end of the output shaft of the two-stage retractable spring column 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the annular sliding plate 25, and the outer surface of the clamping block is movably connected to the outer surface of the high-pressure gas storage cylinder 41.

[0021] In use, in the initial state, the measuring camera 1 faces the ground direction, the connecting frame 3 faces the sky direction, and it is connected and mounted to the bottom of the drone through the connecting frame 3. The floating shell 23 is vertically attached to the installation groove 22. When the drone and the measuring camera 1 fall into deep water, the water causes the air supply mechanism 4 to operate. After the air supply mechanism 4 operates, under the pulling force of the two-stage retractable spring column 12, the annular slide plate 25 can drive the measuring camera 1 to slide into the installation cylinder 21, facilitating the protection of the measuring camera 1 and reducing the damage caused by collisions with underwater debris. At the same time, after the air supply mechanism 4 operates, under the elastic drive of the first torsion spring, the floating shell 23 flips outward from the installation groove 22 to a horizontal state. After the floating shell 23 flips to a horizontal state, the floating airbag 24 can be automatically deployed through the transmission mechanism 5. After multiple floating airbags 24 are deployed, they can form an annular ring, which can reduce the collision force of underwater debris. Moreover, the air supply mechanism 4 can inflate the deployed floating airbags 24, so that the buoyancy generated after the floating airbags 24 are inflated drives the measuring camera 1 and the drone to float on the water surface, facilitating the operator to salvage and recover the measuring camera 1, reducing the recovery difficulty, improving the salvage efficiency of the measuring camera 1, and taking less time and having low cost.

[0022] It should be noted that after the floating airbag 24 is inflated to generate buoyancy and drives the measuring camera 1 and the drone to float on the water surface, at this time, the measuring camera 1 is located on the water surface driven by the buoyancy of the floating airbag 24, the drone is under the water surface, and when the floating airbag 24 is deployed, it can drive the warning mechanism 6 to operate. Through the light color emitted when the warning mechanism 6 operates, it is convenient for the operator to quickly observe the measuring camera 1 in the water, improving the efficiency and effect of the operator's search.

[0023] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the air supply mechanism 4 includes a high-pressure gas storage cylinder 41 arranged at the lower part of the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21, a dissolution trigger 42 detachably connected to the air outlet at the bottom of the high-pressure gas storage cylinder 41. The dissolution trigger 42 is a prior art, and its structure and principle will not be elaborated here. A shunt shell 43 fixedly sleeved outside the dissolution trigger 42, a group of connecting pipes 44 circumferentially and equidistantly communicated with the outer surface of the shunt shell 43, an installation cavity 45 vertically opened between the installation groove 22 and the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21, a sliding pipe 46 vertically moving up and down in the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45, a vertical rod 47 vertically fixed to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45, a sealing block 48 fixed to the top of the vertical rod 47 and movably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding pipe 46, a contraction spring 49 movably sleeved on the outer surface of the vertical rod 47, and a hose 410 fixed to the top of the sliding pipe 46 for communicating the inner cavity of the sliding pipe 46 with the inner cavity of the floating airbag 24; Among them, the inner cavity of the flow dividing shell 43 is communicated with the air outlet hole of the dissolution type trigger 42. The inner cavity of the connecting pipe 44 is communicated with the lower part of the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45. The outer surface of the sliding pipe 46 fits with the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45. The upper and lower ends of the contraction spring 49 are respectively fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the sliding pipe 46 and the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45. A one-way valve for introducing gas into the hose 410 is arranged in the upper part of the inner cavity of the sliding pipe 46. A manual air release valve is communicated with the bottom surface of the flow dividing shell 43.

[0024] When in use, after the dissolution type trigger 42 is immersed in water, the salt block or rock sugar in its internal positioning groove dissolves in water. The internal spring pushes the valve nozzle to move, so that the compressed gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 41 enters the installation cavity 45 through the flow dividing shell 43 and the connecting pipe 44. The gas can push the sliding pipe 46 to move upward. After the sliding pipe 46 moves upward and separates from the sealing block 48, the gas can enter the floating airbag 24 through the inner cavity of the sliding pipe 46, the one-way valve and the hose 410 to inflate it.

[0025] As Figure 5 shown, a group of positioning blocks 7 are circumferentially and equidistantly arranged in the inner cavity of the installation cylinder 21. The left end of the positioning block 7 is movably connected with the bottom surface and the side wall of the annular sliding plate 25. The right end of the positioning block 7 penetrates into the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45. The right end of the positioning block 7 is movably connected with the outer surface of the sliding pipe 46. And a groove 8 is vertically formed on the outer surface of the sliding pipe 46. The right end of the positioning block 7 is movably connected with the inner cavity of the groove 8.

[0026] When in use, after the gas pushes the sliding pipe 46 to move upward and drives the groove 8 to move upward, under the pulling force of the two-stage retraction spring column 12, the annular sliding plate 25 can squeeze the positioning block 7, and the positioning block 7 can be moved into the groove 8, which is convenient for the annular sliding plate 25 to drive the measurement camera 1 to slide into the installation cylinder 21.

[0027] As Figure 6 shown, a clamping hole 9 communicated with the inner cavity of the installation cavity 45 is formed in the upper part of the inner cavity of the installation groove 22. A plastic buckle 10 adapted to the clamping hole 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the floating shell 23. A docking groove 11 is formed on the outer surface of the sliding pipe 46 close to the clamping hole 9. The plastic buckle 10 is movably connected with the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the docking groove 11.

[0028] When in use, when the gas pushes the sliding pipe 46 to move upward and the docking groove 11 moves upward, the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the docking groove 11 can push the plastic buckle 10 to separate from the clamping hole 9, which is convenient for the floating shell 23 to be turned out of the installation groove 22 and into a horizontal state under the elastic force drive of the first torsion spring.

[0029] As Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10As shown in the figure, the transmission mechanism 5 includes two main support rods 51 symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23, a secondary support rod 52 arranged above the main support rod 51, a mounting rod 53 arranged above the main support rod 51 for driving the floating airbag 24 to unfold, and a limiting member 54 arranged on the bottom surface of the main support rod 51 for restricting the secondary support rod 52; Among them, one end of the main support rod 51 close to the upper part of the inner cavity of the mounting groove 22 is hinged to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23. A second torsion spring for driving the main support rod 51 to turn outwards is arranged on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23. The other end of the main support rod 51 is hinged to the bottom surface of the mounting rod 53. The side wall of the main support rod 51 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting groove 22. A placement groove is provided on the upper surface of the main support rod 51. One end of the secondary support rod 52 away from the mounting groove 22 is hinged to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the placement groove. A third torsion spring for driving the secondary support rod 52 to turn outwards is arranged on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the placement groove. A pin rod is vertically and fixedly installed at the other end of the upper surface of the secondary support rod 52. A pin groove adapted to the pin rod is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting rod 53. A magnetic strip is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting rod 53. The limiting member 54 includes a limiting rod vertically arranged on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the placement groove, a limiting groove opened on the bottom surface of the secondary support rod 52, and a spring sleeve fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the outer surface of the limiting rod; the limiting rod is movably connected to the limiting groove. The bottom end of the limiting rod penetrates below the main support rod 51. The bottom end of the limiting rod is movably connected to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23. The upper surface of the spring sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main support rod 51.

[0030] During use, when the floating shell 23 turns outwards to the mounting groove 22 and becomes horizontal, the side wall of the main support rod 51 is separated from the inner cavity of the mounting groove 22. The main support rod 51 is driven by the elastic force of the second torsion spring to drive the mounting rod 53 to rotate outwards from the floating shell 23. And when the bottom end of the limiting rod is separated from the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23 during the rotation of the main support rod 51 outwards from the floating shell 23, the secondary support rod 52 is driven by the elastic force of the third torsion spring to rotate outwards from the placement groove, so that the floating airbag 24 can be driven to unfold by the mounting rod 53, and after multiple floating airbags 24 are unfolded, they form a ring, which can increase the contact area with the water surface, improve the floating effect, and the two mounting rods 53 in contact with each other can be closely attached through the magnetic strip, improving the stability.

[0031] As Figure 9 shown in the figure, a convex block is vertically and fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the placement groove close to the hinged end of the secondary support rod 52. The outer surface of the convex block is movably connected to the outer surface of the secondary support rod 52.

[0032] During use, the rotation angle of the secondary support rod 52 can be limited by the convex block, avoiding the influence of the too large rotation angle of the secondary support rod 52 on the unfolding effect of the floating airbag 24.

[0033] As Figure 11 、 Figure 12As shown in the figure, the warning mechanism 6 includes a set of warning lights 61 fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the floating airbag 24, an extension rod 62 arranged in the middle of the inner cavity of the floating airbag 24, a fixed contact piece 63 fixedly sleeved on the extension rod 62, a moving contact piece 64 slidably sleeved on one end of the extension rod 62 close to the installation groove 22, two rotating rods 65 symmetrically hinged in the inner cavity of the floating airbag 24, one end of the rotating rod 65 being hinged to the outer surface of the moving contact piece 64, and a button power supply 66 arranged at one end of the extension rod 62 away from the installation groove 22; Among them, the moving contact piece 64 is movably connected to the fixed contact piece 63, the warning light 61 is electrically connected to the fixed contact piece 63 and the moving contact piece 64, the fixed contact piece 63 and the moving contact piece 64 are electrically connected to the button power supply 66, one end of the extension rod 62 away from the installation groove 22 penetrates to the outside of the inner cavity of the floating shell 23, and a knob is fixedly installed at one end of the extension rod 62. The knob is threadedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the floating shell 23, and the button power supply 66 is located in the inner cavity of the knob.

[0034] During use, when the floating airbag 24 unfolds, the inner cavity of the floating airbag 24 can drive the rotating rod 65 to move. When the rotating rod 65 moves, it can make the moving contact piece 64 move to contact the fixed contact piece 63, activating the operation of the warning light 61. Through the light color emitted when the warning light 61 operates, it is convenient for the operator to quickly observe the measurement camera 1 in the water, improving the efficiency and effect of the operator's search.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of the present invention: When in use, first, in the initial state, the measurement camera 1 faces the ground direction, the connecting frame 3 faces the sky direction, and it is connected and mounted to the bottom of the drone through the connecting frame 3. The floating shell 23 is vertically attached to the installation groove 22. When the drone and the measurement camera 1 fall into deep water, after the dissolving trigger 42 is submerged in water, the salt block or rock sugar in its internal positioning groove dissolves in water, and the internal spring pushes the valve nozzle to move, enabling the compressed gas in the high-pressure gas cylinder 41 to enter the installation cavity 45 through the shunt shell 43 and the connecting pipe 44. The gas can push the sliding pipe 46 to move upward. After the sliding pipe 46 moves upward and drives the groove 8 to move upward, under the pulling force of the two-stage retracting spring column 12, the annular sliding plate 25 can squeeze the positioning block 7, enabling the positioning block 7 to move into the groove 8. Then, the annular sliding plate 25 can drive the measurement camera 1 to slide into the installation cylinder 21. At the same time, the upward movement of the sliding pipe 46 drives the docking groove 11 to move upward. When the docking groove 11 moves upward, the bottom surface of its inner cavity pushes the plastic buckle 10 to separate from the card hole 9. Then, the floating shell 23 rotates outward from the installation groove 22 to a horizontal state under the elastic force of the first torsion spring. At this time, the side wall of the main support rod 51 separates from the inner cavity of the installation groove 22. The main support rod 51 drives the installation rod 53 to rotate outward from the floating shell 23 under the elastic force of the second torsion spring. And when the main support rod 51 rotates outward from the floating shell 23, the bottom end of the limiting rod separates from the inner cavity bottom surface of the floating shell 23, and under the elastic force of the third torsion spring, the secondary support rod 52 rotates outward from the placement groove, so that the floating airbag 24 can be unfolded through the installation rod 53, and after multiple floating airbags 24 are unfolded, they form an annular ring, which can increase the contact area with the water surface, improve the floating effect, and the two installation rods 53 in contact with each other can be closely attached through the magnetic strip, improving the stability. At the same time, after the sliding pipe 46 moves upward and separates from the sealing block 48, the gas can enter the floating airbag 24 through the inner cavity of the sliding pipe 46, the one-way valve and the hose 410 to inflate it. After the floating airbag 24 is inflated, it generates buoyancy to drive the measurement camera 1 and the drone to float on the water surface, facilitating the operator to salvage and recover the measurement camera 1. And during the unfolding process of the floating airbag 24, the inner cavity of the floating airbag 24 can drive the rotating rod 65 to move. When the rotating rod 65 moves, it can make the moving contact piece 64 move to contact the fixed contact piece 63, activating the warning light 61 to operate. Through the light color emitted when the warning light 61 operates, it is convenient for the operator to quickly observe the measurement camera 1 in the water, improving the efficiency and effect of the operator's search.
