For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0033] The present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 The water area detection device provided in this embodiment includes a drone body 100, a connection component 200 and a collection mechanism 300. A float is provided at the bottom of the drone body 100. The connection component 200 is provided at the bottom of the float, and the connection component 200 includes a traction member, and the traction member has a mobile end, and the mobile end can move in a vertical direction. The collection mechanism 300 is connected to the mobile end, and the collection mechanism 300 includes a collection component and a detection component, and the collection component has a water collection space.

[0035] When the water area detection device provided in this embodiment is used to sample and detect the target water area, the drone body 100 is controlled to reach the water area to be sampled, and the float at the bottom of the drone body 100 can ensure that the drone floats on the water surface.

[0036] After the UAV is stably moored on the surface of the target water area, the mobile end of the traction device moves downward, and the collection component and the detection component dive into the water together with the mobile end, thereby realizing the collection and detection of the water body in the water area.

[0037] After collection, the drone returns with the collection mechanism 300 to bring back the collected water, thereby sampling the water in the target water area. The utility model uses the drone carrying the connection component 200 and the collection mechanism 300 to sample the water in the target water area for testing. During the entire collection process, there is no need for personnel to go to the testing water area, and the sampling operation is less difficult, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, the connection assembly 200 includes a storage member 210, a connection member 220 and a driving member 230. The storage member 210 is arranged at the bottom of the floating body. One end of the connection member 220 is connected to the storage member 210, and the other end is a moving end. The driving member 230 is transmission-connected to the storage member 210 to drive the connection member 220 to extend or retract.

[0039] The storage part 210 stores the connecting part 220. When the water area detection device is not in use or the drone body is in flight, the connecting part 220 is stored on the storage part 210, shortening the distance between the collection mechanism 300 and the drone body, so that the collection mechanism 300 is not easy to shake. This prevents the collection mechanism 300 from floating when the drone body is flying to or from the target water area, affecting the balance of the drone body.

[0040] When the drone body is stably moored on the surface of the target water area and needs to be collected and tested, the driving member 230 runs, driving the storage member 210 to extend the connecting member 220, and the collecting mechanism 300 sinks into the water under the action of gravity. After sinking into the water, the detection component in the collecting mechanism 300 can simultaneously detect the water body, thereby obtaining real-time data of the water body, and the water collection space of the collecting component stores the water body to achieve sampling of the water body in the target water area.

[0041] Specifically, the driving member 230 in this embodiment is a servo motor, the receiving member 210 is a roller, and the traction member is a pull rope. The servo motor has an output shaft. The roller is connected to the output shaft in a transmission manner. The pull rope is wound on the roller, one end of the pull rope is connected to the roller, and the other end is a moving end.

[0042] One end of the pull rope is fixedly connected to the roller to prevent the pull rope from falling off the roller after it is fully stretched. The other end of the pull rope is the mobile end, which is connected to the collection mechanism 300. When the target water area is detected and the water body is sampled, the servo motor drives the roller to rotate and the pull rope is lowered from the roller.

[0043] After the mobile end of the pull rope is connected to the collection mechanism 300, it moves downward into the water body under the action of gravity and sinks in the water body so that the collection mechanism 300 can sample and test the water body. After the sampling and testing are completed, the servo motor runs again to drive the roller to reverse, thereby rewinding the pull rope, and the mobile end carries the collection mechanism 300 up until the collection mechanism 300 returns to its original position, and the drone body returns with the collection mechanism 300 containing the water sample.

[0044] In this embodiment, the collecting component is connected to the mobile end, and includes a counterweight block 310 and a collecting member 320, the counterweight block 310 is connected to the collecting member 320, and the collecting member 320 has an electric control valve 321 and a water storage space, and the electric control valve 321 is connected to the water storage space.

[0045] The density of the counterweight block 310 is much greater than the density of water. When sampling and testing water, the counterweight block 310 can pull the collecting component 320 and the detecting component to sink together, preventing the collecting component 320 and the detecting component from staying on the water surface due to buoyancy and being unable to sink into the water for sampling and testing.

[0046] In addition, the water collection port of the collecting member 320 is controlled by the electric control valve 321. When the collecting member 320 follows the counterweight block 310 to reach a preset depth, the electric control valve 321 is opened for sampling, thereby sampling the water body at the target depth of the target water area.

[0047] Specifically, the counterweight 310 in this embodiment is made of 304 stainless steel. 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, which makes it have good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemical media, including acids, alkalis, salts, etc. It is not easy to rust due to oxidation and will not pollute water bodies.

[0048] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the counterweight block 310 is the mounting surface. The detection assembly includes a water quality detection probe 330, and the water quality detection probe 330 is arranged on the mounting surface.

[0049] The water quality detection probe 330 in this embodiment is a water quality detection sensor, which can monitor the content of harmful substances such as heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria, etc. in water, and realize real-time water quality detection of the target water area.

[0050] Furthermore, the detection component in this embodiment further includes a camera 340. The camera 340 is disposed on the mounting surface, and the camera 340 faces the horizontal direction.

[0051] The camera 340 can capture and record the underwater environment so that personnel can check the underwater environment of the target water area after returning.

[0052] In addition, the detection assembly in this embodiment further includes a water flow velocity meter 350 and a liquid level sensor 360. The water flow velocity meter 350 and the liquid level sensor 360 are both arranged on the installation surface, and the water flow velocity meter 350 is arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0053] The water flow meter 350 can measure the water flow rate in the target water area, and correspondingly, the liquid level sensor 360 can measure the depth of the camera 340, the water quality detection sensor, the water flow meter 350 and the sampling piece, so that the staff can obtain accurate data.

[0054] In this embodiment, the water area detection device further includes a controller. The controller is disposed in the drone body 100, and the controller is connected to the drone body 100, the connection component 200 and the collection mechanism 300 respectively.

[0055] Specifically, the controller in this embodiment is a wireless controller, and the staff can remotely control the drone body 100, the servo motor and the collection mechanism 300 through a control terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer, which is very convenient to use.

[0056] As an implementable method, preset instructions may also be input into the controller, such as the flight route of the drone body 100, the detection depth, and the sampling depth, to achieve automatic sampling and detection without the need for real-time control, making it more convenient to use.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water area detection device further includes a storage member 400. The storage member 400 has a storage space, and a shoulder strap is provided on one side of the storage member 400.

[0058] The storage space is used to store the drone body 100, the connection assembly 200 and the collection mechanism 300, and the staff can carry the storage unit 400 to the vicinity of the target water area through the shoulder strap, which is very convenient to carry.

[0059] In this embodiment, a console 410 and a power supply 420 are provided at the bottom of the storage member 400. The console 410 is provided below the storage space, and the console 410 is adapted to the controller. The power supply 420 is provided at one side of the console 410 and is electrically connected to the console 410, and the power supply 420 has a charging interface.

[0060] Specifically, the console 410 is adapted to the controller, and data transmission with the controller can be realized through the console 410, thereby realizing control of the drone body 100, the servo motor and the collection mechanism 300. The power supply 420 can provide power for the console 410, the drone body 100, the servo motor and the collection mechanism 300, further improving the applicability of the water area detection device provided in this embodiment.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the utility model.
