During the take-off and cruising of the UAV, vibrations are inevitable, and the bolts are easy to loosen and fall off during the long-term vibration process. This will cause the gimbal camera used for monitoring to crash. Therefore, it is necessary to design an ecological wetland environmental monitoring device that can prevent the gimbal camera from being damaged due to loosening and falling of bolts.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ecological wetland environment monitoring device in this embodiment includes a drone 1 and a pan-tilt camera 2, a docking column 3 and a docking part 4, wherein the detachable connection between the drone 1 and the pan-tilt camera 2 is completed through the docking column 3 and the docking part 4, and the docking column 3 is integrally connected and fixed to the top of the pan-tilt of the pan-tilt camera 2, while the docking part 4 is integrally connected and fixed to the bottom of the drone 1.

[0029] For further explanation, the drone 1 and the gimbal camera 2 are prior art, and the drone 1 is preferably DJI M300 or M350, which will not be described in detail here.

[0030] When designed in this way, firstly, the pan-tilt camera 2 can monitor the ecological wetland environment through the cruise operation of the drone 1, wherein the camera of the pan-tilt camera 2 records and monitors the wetland environment through a high-definition camera, thereby facilitating the management and control of the monitoring work and reducing human interference with the wetland ecology.

[0031] Secondly, due to long-term operation in ecological wetlands, the ecological wetland environment monitoring device requires regular maintenance, and the docking column 3 and the docking part 4 are not fastened with bolts. The drone 1 and the gimbal camera 2 are not designed as an integrated whole, and disassembly only requires pushing up and rotating. The disassembly method is simple, and the structure used to fix the docking column 3 and the docking part 4 is stable and reliable. In this way, after the ecological wetland cruising operation, the bolts will not rust, and it has the advantage of convenient disassembly and assembly. In addition, during the cruising operation of the ecological wetland environment monitoring device, the bolts will not loosen and fall off due to cruising vibration. In this way, it can be ensured that the gimbal camera 2 will not crash.

[0032] For ease of understanding, the docking column 3 and the docking portion 4 are specifically described herein. Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the outer side of the docking column 3 is integrally connected and fixedly provided with a convex strip 31, and as shown in FIG. Figure 2 , 4 As shown in 5, the docking part 4 has a docking cavity 41, a labyrinth cavity 42 and an expansion cavity 43 which are interconnected, wherein the cross-section of the docking part 4 is circular when viewed from above, the docking cavity 41 is opened in the docking part 4, and is used to accommodate the docking column 3, while the labyrinth cavity 42 is opened on the outer side of the docking part 4, and is used to accommodate the convex strip 31, and the expansion cavity 43 is opened on the inner wall of the docking part 4.

[0033] To further explain, the labyrinth chamber 42 is divided into an ascending section, a rotating section and a landing section, a spring 44 is fixedly arranged in the expansion chamber 43, and a stopper 45 is fixedly arranged on the side of the spring 44 close to the ascending section. The function of the spring 44 is to allow the stopper 45 to be located at the junction of the landing section, the rotating section and the expansion chamber 43. In this way, after the convex strip 31 is located in the landing section, the stopper 45 is attached to the upper surface of the convex strip 31, thereby blocking the convex strip 31, thereby limiting the convex strip 31 in the landing section.

[0034] It should be noted that the convex strip 31, the labyrinth cavity 42, the expansion cavity 43, the spring 44 and the stop block 45 are preferably two groups, and the length of the expansion cavity 43 is greater than the length of the stop block 45, so that the stop block 45 can be displaced into the expansion cavity 43. In this way, when the docking column 3 is rotated, the stop block 45 is displaced, allowing the convex strip 31 to fall into the landing section, and the height of the rotating section, the expansion cavity 43 and the stop block 45 are the same. In this way, after the convex strip 31 falls into the landing section, the spring 44 allows the stop block 45 to return to the junction of the landing section, the rotating section and the expansion cavity 43 to limit the up and down movement of the convex strip 31 and the docking column 3. In addition, the sum of the heights of the docking column 3 and the rotating section is equal to the depth of the docking cavity 41, and the diameter of the docking cavity 41 is equal to the diameter of the docking column 3. In this way, the convex strip 31 can fall into place smoothly.

[0035] At this time, the assembly process is divided into three steps. The first step is to extend the docking column 3 into the end of the docking cavity 41. During the extension process, the convex strip 31 will extend to the end of the ascending section of the maze cavity 42, that is, the junction of the ascending section and the rotating section; the second step is to rotate the docking column 3 until the convex strip 31 is located at the junction of the landing section, the rotating section and the expansion cavity 43; the third step is to move the docking column 3 downward, so that the convex strip 31 can be placed in place. After placement, the spring 44 allows the block 45 to return to the junction of the landing section, the rotating section and the expansion cavity 43, and is restricted by the block 45 to complete self-locking. Similarly, the reverse operation can be performed during disassembly. When designed in this way, since the drone 1 and the pan-tilt camera 2 are not integrated, and the disassembly and assembly method is simple and reliable, the bolts will not rust after the ecological wetland cruise operation, and it has the advantage of convenient disassembly and assembly, and during the cruise operation of the ecological wetland environment monitoring device, the bolts will not loosen and fall off due to cruise vibration. In this way, it can be ensured that the pan-tilt camera 2 will not crash.

[0036] Although the block 45 can complete the blocking and limiting work of the convex strip 31, considering that the block 45 of the ecological wetland environment monitoring device will be slightly displaced during cruising, therefore, further, in order to limit the displacement of the block 45 during cruising, the present application provides two related structures.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figure 4-6 As shown, a groove 46 is provided at the rotating section, and at least one set of spring pieces 47 are integrally connected to the side of the stopper 45 close to the ascending section. The head of the spring piece 47 is clamped in the groove 46 to limit the displacement of the stopper 45.

[0038] It should be noted that the spring piece 47 is made of thermoplastic plastic, for example, it is made of general plastics such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polystyrene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, or other thermoplastic materials with high elasticity, and the sum of the lengths of the spring piece 47 and the block 45 is less than the length of the expansion cavity 43, so that the spring piece 47 and the block 45 can be displaced into the expansion cavity 43, ensuring that the convex strip 31 can be positioned in the positioning section.

[0039] With such a design, when the ecological wetland environment monitoring device is cruising, since the head of the spring piece 47 is clamped in the groove 46, the stopper 45 can be basically not displaced during cruising.

[0040] In another embodiment, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the stopper 45 is magnetically connected to the convex strip 31 , and after the convex strip 31 is limited in the landing section, it is used to limit the shaking of the stopper 45 , that is, to limit the displacement of the stopper 45 .

[0041] The convex strip 31 has a cavity, in which a magnet 32 ​​is disposed. The stopper 45 is made of metal, so that the stopper 45 and the convex strip 31 can be magnetically connected.

[0042] When designed in this way, after the convex strip 31 falls into the landing section, the spring 44 allows the block 45 to return to the junction of the landing section, the rotation section and the expansion cavity 43. The magnetic connection between the block 45 and the convex strip 31 can limit the displacement of the block 45, so that the block 45 basically does not move during cruising.

[0043] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical scheme and utility model concept of the utility model, should be covered by the protection scope of the utility model.
