DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the embodiments of the utility model, all belong to the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model claimed for protection, but only represents the selected embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] In the description of the present utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as referring to the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the methods. To be clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0032] Existing unmanned aerial vehicles often face environmental challenges with large temperature differences, which can cause fogging of the camera lens and affect the shooting effect. At the same time, during the flight, dust and other impurities are easily attached to the lens surface, which is difficult to clean in time, and ultimately causes the visual detection function of the drone to fail. In order to solve the above technical problems, this case proposes the following technical solutions:

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 9As shown, an intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle, the structure of which includes: an aerial vehicle body 1, a tripod 2 and a camera 3 arranged at the bottom of the aerial vehicle body 1, and a shell 4 arranged in front of the lens of the camera 3, a ring 41 connected to the lens of the camera 3 is arranged in the middle of the back of the shell 4, and an observation port 42 corresponding to the lens of the camera 3 is arranged in the middle of the front; a protective lens 5 for protecting the lens of the camera 3 is arranged in the shell 4, and the protective lens 5 can move on the left and right sides of the observation port 42 in the shell 4, and a controller for controlling the protective lens 5 to slide at the observation port 42 is also arranged in the shell 4, and a cleaning component 6 for cleaning the protective lens 5 is arranged;

[0034] Therefore, when the unmanned aerial vehicle is in use, the camera 3 lens shoots through the protective lens 5 and the observation port 42. When the protective lens 5 in front of the camera 3 lens is affected by fog or dust impurities, the controller can be remotely activated to drive the protective lens 5 to move left or right in the housing 4. During the movement, the cleaning component 6 will remove the fog and impurities on the surface of the protective lens 5, and the uncontaminated part of the protective lens 5 will move to the observation port 42, so that the camera lens can be cleaned in time, ensuring the normal operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle during the shooting process. At the same time, the picture will not be blocked during the cleaning process, ensuring the efficient operation of the aircraft visual system and the stability of the shooting quality;

[0035] The housing 4 is a rectangular structure, and its length is three times the diameter of the camera 3 lens. The collar 41 is arranged in the middle of the housing 4. Meanwhile, the length of the protective lens 5 is twice the diameter of the camera 3 lens. Therefore, when the protective lens 5 is moved to the leftmost side of the housing 4, its right half is just at the position of the observation port 42. When the protective lens 5 is moved to the rightmost side of the housing 4, its left half is at the position of the observation port 42. In combination with the cleaning component 6, the protective lens 5 can be cleaned in time without blocking the camera shooting picture, thereby ensuring that the unmanned aerial vehicle can maintain clear and high-quality visual shooting under various environmental conditions.

[0036] At the same time, the controller is electrically connected to the control system of the aircraft body 1 , so when working, the control system can transmit an electrical signal to the controller, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the protective lens 5 .

[0037] Specifically, the outer side of the protective lens 5 is wrapped with a fixing frame 51, and the controller includes a guide rod 71 arranged at the top of the inner cavity of the shell 4, and a reciprocating screw rod 72 arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 4. The top of the fixing frame 51 is provided with a guide hole 52 that slides with the guide rod 71, and the bottom of the fixing frame 51 is provided with a movable groove 53 for the reciprocating screw rod 72 to pass through. The movable groove 53 is provided with a convex block that cooperates with the thread groove on the reciprocating screw rod 72. The outer side of the shell 4 is also provided with a driving motor 73 that drives the reciprocating screw rod 72 to rotate;

[0038] Therefore, when the protective lens 5 needs to be cleaned, the remote control driving motor 73 is started, thereby driving the reciprocating screw 72 to rotate synchronously. Since the top of the fixing frame 51 is slidably matched with the guide rod 71, and the bottom is threadedly matched with the reciprocating screw 72 through the protrusion, the fixing frame 51 and the protective lens 5 are caused to slide along the guide rod 71, and the uncontaminated part of the protective lens 5 is caused to slide to the position of the observation port 42. At the same time, the cleaning component 6 cleans the contaminated part, ensuring that the visual system of the unmanned aerial vehicle remains clear and unobstructed during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the shooting effect;

[0039] Among them, since the reciprocating screw rod 72 is used for driving, the driving motor 73 only needs to rotate in the same direction to make the fixing frame 51 slide left and right in the housing 4 in turn. When cleaning is required, there is no need to select the moving direction of the fixing frame 51, and the operation is very simple;

[0040] The shaft transmission method between the driving motor 73 and the reciprocating screw rod 72 is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] Specifically, the cleaning components 6 are provided in two groups, and are respectively located on both sides of the observation port 42 of the inner cavity of the shell 4. Each group of cleaning components 6 includes a cleaning cloth 61 provided on the front and rear sides of the shell 4. The cleaning cloth 61 has bristles on one side facing the protective lens 5.

[0042] Therefore, when the fixing frame 51 drives the protective lens 5 to slide, each set of cleaning cloths 61 will clean the front and back surfaces of the protective lens 5 at the same time, ensuring that the lens is fully and effectively cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and maintaining the clarity and reliability of the visual system;

[0043] Furthermore, the cleaning cloth 61 is an annular structure, and a driving component 8 is provided in the shell 4 for driving the cleaning cloth 61 to roll up and down. Therefore, when the protective lens 5 moves laterally, the driving component 8 drives the cleaning cloth 61 to roll longitudinally, further improving the cleaning effect of the protective lens 5, making the cleaning process more comprehensive and thorough, and ensuring that the cleanliness and transparency of the protective lens reach the optimal state.

[0044] Specifically, the driving assembly 8 includes a first transmission shaft 81 and a second transmission shaft 82 which are respectively rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of the housing 4 and are used to drive the cleaning cloth 61 to roll up and down. A first transmission gear 83 is fixed to one end of the reciprocating screw rod 72, and a second transmission gear 84 meshing with the first transmission gear 83 is provided at one end of the second transmission shaft 82.

[0045] Therefore, when the driving motor 73 drives the reciprocating screw 72 to rotate, the first transmission gear 83 will drive the second transmission shaft 82 to rotate through the second transmission gear 84, thereby driving the cleaning cloth 61 at the front and rear ends of the protective lens 5 to roll longitudinally, realizing the synchronous sliding and cleaning of the protective lens 5, and ensuring the comprehensiveness and efficiency of the cleaning.

[0046] In addition, a dust collecting device 9 for collecting dust on the cleaning cloth 61 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the shell 4, so that dust and impurities on the cleaning cloth 61 can be conveniently collected, and the dust collecting device 9 can be removed at any time for cleaning and clearing.

[0047] Specifically, the dust collecting device 9 includes four dust collecting hoppers 91 respectively arranged under the cleaning cloth 61, and the top of the dust collecting hopper 91 is provided with an ash inlet 92. The inner wall of the ash inlet 92 is provided with cleaning teeth 93 that contact the bristles of the cleaning cloth 61. Therefore, when the cleaning cloth 61 rolls longitudinally, the bristles of the cleaning cloth 61 will contact the cleaning teeth 93, resulting in dust and impurities being effectively separated and transferred to the corresponding dust collecting hopper 91, ensuring efficient collection of dust during the cleaning process, allowing the cleaning cloth 61 to continuously maintain a clean state, and improving the cleaning effect and reliability of the equipment.

[0048] A plurality of first magnetic blocks 94 are provided on the side of the dust hopper 91 that contacts the inner wall of the shell 4, and a second magnetic block that attracts the first magnetic block 94 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 4, thereby facilitating the removal and installation of the dust hopper 91 and making the operation more convenient and efficient.

[0049] The above description is only the preferred implementation of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
