Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mine mining, in particular to a drone for mine mining detection. Background Art

[0002] A mine refers to an independent production and operation unit that mines ores with a certain mining boundary. A mine mainly includes one or more mining workshops (or pitheads, mine shafts, open-pit mines, etc.) and some auxiliary workshops. Most mines also include beneficiation plants (coal washing plants). Mines include coal mines, metal mines, non-metallic mines, building materials mines and chemical mines, etc. The scale of a mine (also known as production capacity) is usually expressed in annual output or daily output. The annual output is the amount of ore produced by the mine each year. According to the size of the output, it is divided into three types: large, medium and small. The size of the mine should be consistent with the economically reasonable service life of the mine. Only in this way can we save infrastructure costs and reduce costs.

[0003] After searching, the utility model patent with patent announcement number CN220315313U discloses a drone for mining detection, including a drone body, support blocks arranged around the bottom and top of the body for installation and fixation, a rotating shaft arranged on the top of the support block, four blades arranged on the outer side of the rotating shaft and arranged in a circle for driving the body to move, a mounting frame installed on the inner side of the body for support, and an adjustment component for adjusting the detection shooting angle. The utility model uses the body, blades, special-shaped gears, push rods and racks. The rack drives the special-shaped gears to reciprocate around the fixed axis, so that the special-shaped gears drive the camera to change the angle through the mounting block, which solves the problem that the existing equipment cannot conveniently adjust the shooting angle of the camera structure, which easily leads to incomplete or unclear shooting of the mine by the equipment, and cannot provide falling buffer protection for the drone, which easily leads to collision and damage of the drone, affecting the service life of the drone.

[0004] However, the above design still has some shortcomings. In the above design, when protecting the drone body, the anti-collision strip is located on the inner side of the blade. When the drone body collides, the blade will be damaged, causing the drone body to fall from a high altitude. The drone body cannot be well protected, and there is no good early warning function before the drone body collides, which greatly increases the risk of damage to the drone body.
