Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrological monitoring equipment, and more specifically, to an amphibious airship. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrological monitoring is a core foundation for water resource management, disaster prevention and mitigation, and ecological protection. Traditional monitoring relies on manual equipment deployment, which suffers from low efficiency, high risk, and limited coverage. With the development of unmanned technology, drones and unmanned vessels have become important tools for hydrological monitoring: drones, with their advantages of maneuverability and wide field of view, can quickly complete image acquisition and meteorological parameter measurement of large areas of water; unmanned vessels can get close to the water surface and accurately collect core hydrological parameters such as water temperature, pH value, flow velocity, and water depth. Currently, more applications combine unmanned vessels and drones to achieve coordinated amphibious operation.

[0003] However, in actual use, drones and unmanned ships are mostly connected by bolts. Disassembly and assembly require the operation of multiple bolts, which is quite troublesome and cannot be quickly disassembled and assembled, and needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of the present invention discloses an amphibious airship, including a drone 100 and two floating boats 200. The two floating boats are located below the drone and are symmetrically distributed about the center of the drone. The drone 100 and the floating boats 200 are connected by a frame. The frame includes two opposing first supports 300, which are respectively located at the bottom ends of the drone. The first supports 300 are connected to the drone 100 and to the floating boats 200 by quick-release structures 400. The quick-release structure allows for easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating actual transportation and handling.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the quick-release structure 400 includes a detachment component 500 and a locking component 600. The detachment component 500 is fixedly installed at the docking end of the UAV 100 and the bottom docking end of the first bracket 300. The locking component 600 is installed at the top docking end of the first bracket 300 and the docking end of the floating vessel 200. The detachment component 500 and the locking component 600 are engaged and locked. The locking component is adjusted to lock or unlock the detachment component. All connecting parts use a set of matching detachment components and locking components to achieve common use and reduce costs.

[0030] Furthermore, a second bracket 110 is installed at each of the four corners of the drone 100's fuselage; the first bracket 300 includes two opposing support plates 330, which have an arched structure to maintain the distance between the drone and the floating vessel and prevent mutual interference; the two support plates 330 are connected by two first support blocks 310 and two second support blocks 320; the two first support blocks 310 are respectively located at both ends of the first bracket 300, and the positions of the second support blocks 320 correspond to the positions of the second bracket 110; a detachment piece 500 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second bracket 110 and the bottom of the first support blocks 310; locking pieces are correspondingly installed on the second support blocks and the floating vessel; this structural design can maintain the structural strength of the second bracket, and also minimize the use of materials, reduce weight, and reduce the operating load of the drone.

[0031] Furthermore, the detachment component 500 includes a connecting rod 510, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a boss 520 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod 510. The boss is a strip-shaped block structure; as Figure 2 As shown, the locking component 600 includes a turntable 610 and a limiting bolt 620. The turntable is fixed in place by the limiting bolt, and the turntable can be rotated by adjustment; as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the turntable 610 has a first through hole 611 at its center, the shape of which matches the shape of the boss 620; a groove 612 is provided at the center of one end face of the turntable 610, the groove is circular and its diameter matches the maximum rotation trajectory diameter of the boss; the depth of the groove matches the thickness of the boss; with this structure, the corresponding position of the first through hole and the boss can be adjusted by rotating the turntable. When the two are aligned, the connecting rod can be disengaged from the mating part; when the two are misaligned, the connecting rod can be prevented from disengaging from the turntable, thus achieving a locking effect; the overall fit is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, a limiting ring 530 is fixedly provided on the top side wall of the connecting rod 510, and a cutting surface 540 is provided on the side wall of the connecting rod 510 above the limiting ring. A first threaded hole is provided at the center of the top surface of the connecting rod. A second through hole 311 is provided through the first support block 310. A third support block is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the second bracket 110. A third through hole is provided on the third support block. The shapes of the second through hole 311 and the third through hole are adapted to the shape of the top end of the connecting rod 510. The top end of the connecting rod is locked in the corresponding hole and fixed by a bolt installed in the first threaded hole. With this cooperation, it is ensured that the connecting rod will not easily loosen after it is installed in place, and it can prevent the connecting rod from moving when the adjustment turntable is rotated, thus avoiding the problem of loosening.

[0033] Furthermore, the turntable 610 is provided with two guide holes 613 arranged symmetrically about the center. The guide holes have an arc-shaped structure, and the hole width is adapted to the diameter of the smooth section of the limiting bolt. When the turntable rotates to one end of the guide hole and is blocked by the limiting bolt, the position of the boss corresponds to the position of the first through hole. When the turntable rotates to the other end of the guide hole and is blocked by the limiting bolt, the position of the boss deviates from the position of the first through hole. By limiting the rotation and placement position of the turntable, the locking and unlocking states of the connecting rod can be achieved.

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the top surface of the second support block 320 has a fourth through hole 321 at its center, the diameter of which is adapted to the diameter of the connecting rod; the top surface of the second support block 320 has two second threaded holes 322 that are symmetrical about the center, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the guide holes 613, and the diameters of which are adapted to the diameter of the threaded section of the limiting bolt; the top surface of the floating vessel 200 has a corresponding fifth through hole 210, the diameter of which is adapted to the diameter of the connecting rod 510; the top outer side of the fifth through hole 210 has two third threaded holes that are symmetrical about the axis of the fifth through hole, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the guide holes 613, and the diameters of which are adapted to the diameter of the threaded section of the limiting bolt; the above design provides corresponding holes at the alignment positions of the second support block and the floating vessel to meet the required installation conditions for overall assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom edge of the connecting rod is chamfered, or the bottom of the connecting rod is a truncated cone shape that tapers downwards, which makes it easier to insert the connecting rod into the corresponding hole position, facilitating alignment and installation.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the guide hole 613 are arc-shaped, and their diameters are compatible with the diameter of the smooth section of the limiting bolt. A retaining strip 614 is fixedly provided in the middle of the outer inner sidewall of the guide hole 613. The retaining strip has a thin-walled structure, and the thickness of the protrusion from the sidewall is 0.3-0.7mm. Both ends of the retaining strip extend to the end of the guide hole, and the end of the retaining strip has a guide surface that narrows towards the end arc surface and is tangential. With this structure, the retaining strip can be used to form a berth to prevent easy loosening or displacement after the turntable is installed in place, which also effectively prevents easy unlocking after locking, maintaining effective connection. The retaining strip is a thin-walled structure, which is compatible with the smooth section of the limiting bolt, ensuring that the turntable can be rotated and adjusted when sufficient external force is applied.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the turntable 610 is larger than the maximum distance between the two support plates 330, which can prevent the support plates from causing interference and ensure that the turntable can be effectively clamped and rotated by hand or by using tools.

[0038] Furthermore, the outer wall of the turntable 610 is provided with anti-slip texture 615, which can easily improve the friction so that the turntable can be effectively gripped or clamped, facilitating actual disassembly and adjustment.

[0039] Furthermore, the second support block 320 has multiple sets of paired fourth threaded holes 323 arranged vertically and evenly on its two opposite sidewalls; the support plate 330 has multiple sets of paired sixth through holes 331 arranged vertically and evenly on its corresponding sidewalls; the second support block is fixed to the support plate by at least two sets of screws passing through the sixth through holes and the fourth threaded holes; with this structural design, the corresponding matching hole positions can be adjusted as needed to adjust the height position of the second support block to meet the application assembly requirements of different types of UAVs.

[0040] This invention has been described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein; other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims are also within the protection scope of this invention.
