The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0020] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] The utility model embodiment provides a UAV equipped with a weather sensor, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the UAV equipped with a meteorological sensor includes: a UAV body 1, the top of the UAV body 1 is fixedly mounted on a mounting seat 2; a steerable assembly shell 3 arranged on the mounting seat 2; a detachable meteorological sensor body 4 arranged on the assembly shell 3; a plug-in block 5 fixed to the meteorological sensor body 4, the bottom end of the plug-in block 5 extends into the assembly shell 3; a limit frame 6 symmetrically arranged in the mounting shell 3 with adjustable spacing, the limit frame 6 is used to clamp the plug-in block 5; an adjustment mechanism arranged on the mounting shell 3 for adjusting the spacing of the limit frame 6; a steering mechanism arranged on the mounting seat 2 for driving the mounting shell 3 to steer.

[0022] It should be noted that in the UAV meteorological monitoring system, the assembly and disassembly process of meteorological sensors usually involves multiple complex steps and delicate operations. Due to the wide variety of meteorological sensors, their sizes, interfaces, connection methods, etc. are different, which greatly increases the complexity of assembly and disassembly; first, different meteorological sensors may require specific mounting brackets or adapters to connect to the UAV fuselage. The design and manufacture of these brackets or adapters need to accurately match the size and interface of the sensor, and need to ensure their compatibility with the UAV fuselage. This usually requires professional technicians to perform precise measurements and customization, which increases the complexity and time cost of the operation; secondly, during the assembly process, technicians need to carefully align and fix the sensor with the bracket or adapter. This may require the use of screws, clamps or other fastening devices to ensure the stability and safety of the sensor during flight. These operations require precise manual skills and patience, and also require technicians to have an in-depth understanding of the UAV and sensor structure; in addition, after assembly, system debugging and calibration are required to ensure that the sensor can accurately collect and transmit meteorological data. This includes steps such as verifying the response accuracy of the sensor, calibrating the measurement range, and checking the reliability of data transmission. These debugging and calibration work also require the participation of professional technicians, and may require multiple iterations and adjustments to ensure the accuracy and stability of the system; however, in actual operation, human errors are prone to occur due to the complexity of assembly and debugging. For example, the sensor may not be installed or fixed correctly, resulting in falling off or damage during flight; or the debugging parameters may be set incorrectly, resulting in errors or deviations in the data collected by the sensor. These errors will not only affect the accuracy of meteorological data, but may also have a negative impact on the stability of the entire system; therefore, solving the problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly of meteorological sensors is crucial to improving the efficiency and accuracy of UAV meteorological monitoring systems.

[0023] In this embodiment, the drone body 1 serves as the core of the entire system. The drone body carries all key components and provides them with flight capabilities; the mounting seat 2 is fixed on the top of the drone body 1 for installing and supporting other components; the assembly shell 3 is rotatably arranged on the mounting seat 2, and the direction of the meteorological sensor can be adjusted according to needs; the meteorological sensor body 4 is detachably arranged on the assembly shell 3 for collecting meteorological data; the plug-in block 5 is fixed on the meteorological sensor body 4, and its bottom end extends into the assembly shell 3 for connecting with the mechanism in the assembly shell 3; the limit frame 6 is symmetrically arranged in the assembly shell 3 with adjustable spacing, and is used to clamp the plug-in block 5 to ensure the stability and safety of the meteorological sensor body 4; the adjustment mechanism is arranged on the assembly shell 3 for adjusting the spacing of the limit frame 6 to adapt to plug-in blocks 5 of different sizes; the steering mechanism is arranged on the mounting seat 2 for driving the assembly shell 3 to turn, thereby adjusting the direction of the meteorological sensor; by designing a detachable meteorological sensor body 4 and an adjustable limit frame 6, the assembly and disassembly process can be greatly simplified. Technicians do not need to perform complex measurements and customization. They only need to insert the meteorological sensor body 4 into the assembly shell 3 through the plug-in block 5 and use the adjustment mechanism to adjust the spacing of the limit frame 6 to achieve fast and stable assembly. Similarly, the disassembly process has become simpler and faster; due to the use of adjustable limit frames 6 and steering mechanisms, the stability and safety of the meteorological sensor body 4 during flight can be ensured; due to the simplification of the assembly and disassembly process, the risk of human operation errors is reduced. Technicians do not need to perform complex operations and multiple iterative adjustments, they only need to follow simple steps; this can not only improve the accuracy and stability of the system, but also reduce maintenance costs and time costs; due to the use of adjustable limit frames 6 and steering mechanisms, the design can adapt to meteorological sensors of different sizes and types. This makes the UAV meteorological monitoring system more adaptable and flexible, and can meet monitoring tasks of different scenarios and needs.

This design allows the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw 8 to push or pull the two limit frames 6 when the bidirectional screw 8 rotates, thereby clamping or releasing the plug-in block 5 (i.e., the meteorological sensor body 4); the first motor 9 is fixed on one side of the mounting shell 3 to drive the rotation of the bidirectional screw 8. The first motor 9 provides power for the entire adjustment mechanism through the rotation of its output shaft; the first coupling 10 is assembled to ensure the stable connection and transmission between the output shaft of the first motor 9 and the bidirectional screw 8. One end of the first coupling 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional screw 8; in order to limit the direction of the limit frame 6 during movement and ensure that they can move in a straight line, we fix the guide rod 11 in the mounting shell 3. One end of the guide rod 11 passes through the corresponding limit frame 6, providing a guide for the movement of the limit frame 6; driven by the first motor 9, the entire adjustment mechanism can realize automatic clamping and releasing operations, greatly improving work efficiency and convenience of operation; the design of the bidirectional screw 8 enables the two limit frames 6 to move closer to or away from the plug-in block 5 at the same time, thereby achieving stable clamping of the meteorological sensor body 4. This design can ensure the stability and reliability of the meteorological sensor during flight.

[0027] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 2, and its top end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the assembly shell 3. In this way, when the rotating shaft 12 rotates, the assembly shell 3 will rotate accordingly, thereby realizing the steering of the meteorological sensor body 4; in order to drive the rotation of the rotating shaft 12, the second motor 13 is fixed on the mounting seat 2. The second motor 13 provides power for the steering mechanism through the rotation of its output shaft; the second coupling 14 is installed to ensure the stable connection and transmission between the output shaft of the second motor 13 and the rotating shaft 12. One end of the second coupling 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 12; through the precise control of the second motor 13, we can realize the precise control of the steering of the meteorological sensor body 4. This helps the UAV to quickly and accurately adjust the direction of the sensor as needed during meteorological monitoring; due to the automated design of the steering mechanism, the UAV can automatically adjust the direction of the sensor during flight according to a preset program or remote command without human intervention, greatly improving work efficiency; through the connection of the second coupling 14, stable transmission between the second motor 13 and the rotating shaft 12 is ensured, thereby ensuring the stability of the meteorological sensor body 4 during the steering process.

[0029] In this embodiment, support columns 15 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the assembly shell 3; these support columns not only provide a connection between the assembly shell 3 and the mounting seat 2, but also enhance the stability of the entire structure; the bottom end of each support column 15 is inlaid with a ball 16. The design of the ball enables the assembly shell 3 to rotate more smoothly on the mounting seat 2, reducing the resistance caused by friction; the top of the mounting seat 2 is provided with an annular groove that matches the ball 16. When the assembly shell 3 rotates, the ball 16 rolls in the annular groove, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the rotation of the assembly shell 3.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the meteorological sensor body 4 is symmetrically fixed with a limiting column 17, and the top of the assembly shell 3 is provided with a plug hole into which the limiting column 17 and the plug-in block 5 can be inserted.

[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting posts 17 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the meteorological sensor body 4. These limiting posts are used to cooperate with the sockets on the top of the assembly shell 3 when the meteorological sensor body 4 is installed in the assembly shell 3, and play a role in positioning and fixing; the top of the assembly shell 3 is provided with sockets into which the limiting posts 17 and the plug-in block 5 can be inserted. The size and shape of the socket match the limiting posts 17 and the plug-in block 5 to ensure that they can fit tightly together; through the design of the limiting posts 17 and the sockets, the installation process of the meteorological sensor body 4 becomes simple and quick, and the user only needs to align the limiting posts 17 with the sockets, and then push the meteorological sensor body 4 into the assembly shell 3.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, an inspection port is opened on one side of the installation shell 3, a baffle is arranged in the inspection port, screws are arranged on the baffle, and the screws are fixedly connected to the assembly shell 3.

When no inspection is required, the baffle can close the inspection port to prevent dust, moisture or other impurities from entering the assembly shell 3 and affecting the normal operation of the meteorological sensor or other internal components; the baffle is fixedly connected to the assembly shell 3 by screws, and this connection method not only ensures the stability of the baffle, but also facilitates disassembly. When inspection is required, the user can easily unscrew the screws, remove the baffle, and enter the assembly shell 3 to operate.
