Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pesticide spraying equipment technology, and in particular to a pesticide spraying device for agricultural aviation drones. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural aviation drone pesticide spraying equipment, commonly known as plant protection drones, is a precision pesticide application equipment that integrates spraying systems using unmanned aerial vehicle technology for agriculture, forestry and other fields.

[0003] Existing drone pesticide spraying devices suffer from interference caused by the shaking of pesticide liquid in the storage tank during use. This alters the device's center of gravity, leading to fluctuations in the drone's flight attitude and potentially causing flight instability or even a crash. Furthermore, the traditional fixed-length pesticide delivery manifold generates wind resistance during flight and is susceptible to lateral torque from wind impacts, causing the drone's flight attitude to deviate and affecting the accuracy of its return route. In addition, the complex operating environment of drones means that after operation, the nozzles are easily contaminated with soil, dust, crop residues, and other debris from the field. These debris can enter the nozzle orifices and cause blockages, affecting the effectiveness of subsequent spraying. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention relates to an agricultural aviation drone pesticide spraying device, which can activate a first servo motor to adjust the height of an adjusting disc, keeping the disc close to the liquid surface to prevent the pesticide from swaying in the storage tank. By keeping the liquid volume in a relatively static state, the device's center of gravity is kept stable, reducing the correction pressure on the flight control system, ensuring the drone flies smoothly along a preset path, and improving operational safety.

The support plates are in two places and are distributed symmetrically up and down. A limiting round rod is provided between the left and right ends of the two support plates. A screw rod is rotatably installed between the middle parts of the two support plates through a bearing. The top of the screw rod is provided with a first servo motor, and the first servo motor is located inside the fixed cover.

[0008] Further, a sealing ring is provided on the outer circumference of the adjusting circular plate. A threaded sleeve is provided at the middle position of the adjusting circular plate. Two limiting sleeves are provided on the adjusting circular plate, and the two limiting sleeves are distributed symmetrically.

[0009] Further, the sealing ring of the adjusting circular plate contacts the inner wall of the medicine storage cylinder. The threaded sleeve is sleeved on the screw rod by means of threads. The limiting sleeve is slidably sleeved on the limiting round rod. Moreover, the liquid level detector slidably penetrates through the adjusting circular plate.

[0010] Further, connecting frames are provided at both ends of the mounting seat, and the connecting frames are connected to the support leg frames. Two limiting grooves are provided at the bottom of the mounting seat, and the two limiting grooves are distributed in parallel. A through groove is provided at the middle position of the mounting seat, and the through groove corresponds to the position of the fixed frame.

[0011] Further, a second servo motor is provided on one side of the fixed frame. A rotating shaft rod is rotatably installed on the fixed frame, and the rotating shaft rod is connected to the rotating shaft of the second servo motor. Two gears are provided on the rotating shaft rod, and the gears are located in the through groove and correspond to the limiting grooves.

[0012] Further, a connecting hose is provided at one end of the medicine delivery main pipe, and the connecting hose is connected to the pump body. A limiting slider is provided at the top of the medicine delivery main pipe. A tooth groove is provided at the top of the limiting slider. The medicine delivery main pipe is slidably connected to the limiting groove of the mounting seat through the limiting slider, and the tooth groove is meshed with the gear.

[0013] Further, a connecting bracket is provided at the bottom of the spraying head. The connecting bracket is in a "C" - shaped structure. A support circular plate is provided at the middle position of the bottom horizontal plate of the connecting bracket. A limiting column is provided at the top of the support circular plate; A support ring and a compression spring are sleeved on the limiting column, and the compression spring is supported between the support ring and the support circular plate.

[0014] Further, a bearing sleeve is provided at the bottom of the fan wheel. The fan wheel is arranged on the limiting column, and the bearing sleeve is rotatably connected to the support ring.

[0015] The present invention provides an agricultural aviation - used unmanned aerial vehicle pesticide spraying device, which has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, a first servo motor provides power to drive the lead screw to rotate. Through the transmission cooperation between the lead screw and the threaded sleeve, the adjusting disc can slide downward along the limiting disc. During pesticide spraying, the liquid level detector monitors the liquid level in the storage cylinder, and at the same time, the first servo motor is activated to adjust the height of the adjusting disc, ensuring that the adjusting disc is always close to the liquid surface, preventing the liquid from shaking in the storage cylinder. By keeping the liquid volume in a relatively static state, the center of gravity of the equipment can be kept stable, reducing the correction pressure on the flight control system, ensuring that the UAV flies smoothly along the preset path, and improving operational safety.

[0016] Furthermore, in this invention, the second servo motor provides power to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. By utilizing the meshing transmission of two gears and tooth grooves, the two main delivery pipes can be slidably adjusted along the limiting grooves simultaneously. When the equipment returns after completing the spraying task, the extension length of the two main delivery pipes can be reduced by moving them towards the center. After being folded up, the overall structure of the equipment is more compact, the center of gravity is more concentrated, and the interference of wind load on the flight attitude is significantly reduced, ensuring the accuracy of the return route.

[0017] Furthermore, during the spraying process, the impact force of the drug pushes the fan wheel downwards, causing it to rotate and expand the spraying area. The rotational power of the fan wheel comes from the impact force of the liquid drug itself, eliminating the need for additional drive components such as motors, thus reducing the power load on the equipment. After the drug spraying task is completed, the fan wheel uses the rebound action of the compression spring to drive the baffle head upwards to block the spray head, preventing external debris from entering the spray head and reducing clogging. This eliminates the hassle of frequent unclogging and lowers equipment maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description
