Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of aircraft technology, and in particular to an air-land amphibious aircraft. Background Art

[0002] In many industrial, environmental monitoring and geographic information system (GIS) applications, detailed aerial and ground surveys of specific areas are required. Traditional inspection or survey methods usually rely on separate aerial drones and ground mobile devices, which not only makes the application scenarios of aerial drones and ground mobile devices poor, but also increases the equipment acquisition cost and personnel configuration cost.

[0003] Therefore, developing an amphibious aircraft that can fly in the air and walk on the ground at the same time can give full play to the unique advantages of aerial drones while being able to assist each other in military, rescue and surveying, thereby improving labor efficiency and reducing the risk of personnel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The problem to be solved by this application is that in existing industrial, environmental monitoring and geographic information system applications, it is necessary to use aerial drones and ground mobile devices in combination to achieve inspection or survey operations, which results in poor applicability of aerial drones and ground mobile devices respectively.

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application provides an air-to-land amphibious aircraft, including a frame for serving as a basic support, crawler-type walking components for stable walking on the ground are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the frame, a rotor-type flight component for space flight in the air is arranged directly above the frame, a shooting component for space monitoring or mapping operations is arranged below the frame, and a sampling component capable of clamping and sampling operations is provided on the upper part of the frame.

[0006] Since the aircraft of the present application is designed with a walking component, a flying component, a shooting component and a sampling component, the walking component can be used to realize the surface walking operation of the aircraft, the flying component can be used to realize the space flight operation of the aircraft, and the shooting component and the sampling component can be used to realize monitoring shooting and environmental sampling operations. This solves the problem that in the prior art industrial, environmental monitoring and geographic information system applications, it is necessary to use aerial drones and ground mobile equipment in combination to realize inspection or survey operations, resulting in poor applicability scenarios of aerial drones and ground mobile equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. Example

[0019] The present application relates to an air-land amphibious aircraft, such as Figure 1-10As shown, the aircraft includes a frame 2 for serving as a basic support, and crawler-type walking components 3 for stable walking on the ground are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower part of the frame 2, and a rotor-type flight component 1 for space flight in the air is arranged directly above the frame 2. In order to realize monitoring or mapping operations in the space, a shooting component 4 for space monitoring or mapping operations is arranged below the frame 2, and in order to facilitate sampling operations of space scenes, a sampling component 5 capable of clamping sampling operations is added to the upper part of the frame 2.

[0020] The walking assembly 3 includes a first motor 20, a crawler 17, a pulley 19, and a wheel frame 23. There are multiple pulleys 19, which are arranged on the side of the frame 2 and can rotate. The surfaces of the multiple pulleys 19 are covered with crawlers 17 for contacting the ground surface. In order to realize the operation of the pulleys 19, a first motor 20 for driving one of the pulleys 19 to rotate is arranged inside the frame 2. The first motor 20 is a high-performance DC brushless motor with an internal integrated driver of the GM6020 series, so that the other pulleys 19 are driven to rotate synchronously with the help of the crawler 17. In order to improve the surface passability of the aircraft, part of the pulleys 19 are connected to the frame 2 via a swingable wheel frame 23. The middle part of the wheel frame 23 can rotate around the frame 2, and an anchor rod 22 is arranged at one end of the wheel frame 23. An arc-shaped slide groove 21 is arranged on the upper part of the frame 2 for the anchor rod 22 to slide back and forth. Through the sliding of the anchor rod 22, part of the pulleys 19 can swing back and forth within a small range, thereby increasing the contact area between the crawler 17 and the uneven ground, effectively improving the operation stability of the walking component 3.

[0021] The flight component 1 includes a second motor 9, an arm 10, a rotor 8, and an auxiliary wing 13. There are multiple arms 10, which are evenly arranged around the upper part of the frame 2. A second motor 9 for providing driving force is arranged at one end of the arm 10, and a rotor 8 driven to rotate by the second motor 9 is arranged at the end of the second motor 9, so that the space flight operation of the aircraft is realized by means of the rotation of the rotor 8. In order to provide a relatively stable shooting environment for the shooting component 4 when the aircraft is flying in space, auxiliary wings 13 for providing additional lift surfaces are also symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the frame 2.

[0022] The shooting component 4 includes a searchlight 18, a camera 25, and a surveying instrument 24. The searchlight 18 is symmetrically arranged around the upper part of the frame 2 to realize scene lighting operations in dim occasions. The camera 25 is arranged at the midline position in the length direction just below the frame 2 to realize scene shooting, recording and filming operations. The surveying instrument 24 is arranged side by side on one side of the camera 25. By emitting lasers, it can quickly obtain the three-dimensional coordinate data of the surveying scene, thereby realizing the surveying and mapping operations of spatial data.

[0023] The sampling assembly 5 includes a camera 11, a steering seat 15, a mechanical arm 14, and a clamp 16. The steering seat 15 is arranged at one end of the upper length direction of the frame 2, and a mechanical arm 14 that can move in space is arranged on the upper part of the frame 2. The end of the mechanical arm 14 is arranged with a clamp 16 that clamps the sample in a telescopic manner. In order to facilitate the observation and operation of the clamp 16 for sampling operations, a camera 11 for auxiliary visualization is also provided on the upper part of the frame 2.

[0024] In order to realize the space flight operation of the aircraft, a rechargeable battery 12 for providing a power source and a receiver 6 for realizing signal transmission are arranged on the upper part of the frame 2, and also includes a controller 7 for controlling the movement of the first motor 20 and the second motor 9.

[0025] When in use, according to the required monitoring or surveying scene, you can decide to use the flight mode or the walking mode first. If the flight mode is used first, the second motor 9 drives the rotor 8 on the upper part of the arm 10 to rotate, and then the auxiliary wing 13 rotates to make the frame 2 stable in the air, and then the camera 25 and the surveying instrument 24 will work separately to shoot and draw the required scene data, and the searchlight 18 is used to provide lighting operation in a dim environment; and when the walking mode is needed, the first motor 20 drives the pulley 19 on the upper part of the frame 2 to move. The plurality of pulleys 19 can be covered by the crawler tracks 17 to stably walk on the upper surface of the ground. With the arrangement of the wheel frame 23, the crawler tracks 17 can increase the contact area with the uneven ground through a small swing between the plurality of pulleys 19 and the frame body 2, thereby improving the stability during walking. The sampling operation can then be clamped and sampled through the clamping claws 16 of the sampling assembly 5. For narrow spaces, a movement method combining flying and walking can also be adopted, so that air or ground obstacles can be easily avoided and rapid space obstacle avoidance movement can be achieved.
