[0023] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a mobile environment monitoring device comprises a drone body 1, a monitoring device body 2 installed at the bottom of the drone body 1, and a covering mechanism for protecting the monitoring device body 2;

[0026] The covering mechanism includes a protective cover 3 disposed outside the monitoring device body 2, an elastic rotation supply component disposed on one side of the protective cover 3, and a locking component disposed on the other side of the protective cover 3;

[0027] By setting the covering mechanism, when the drone body 1 takes off, the protective cover 3 is rotated to a position that is in contact with the bottom surface of the drone body 1, so that the locking component can effectively lock the protective cover 3 to offset the elastic force of the elastic rotation component, and then the protective cover 3 hides and protects the monitoring device body 2 inside it, preventing the monitoring device body 2 from being attached to the surface of a large amount of mud and dust during the take-off of the drone body 1, thereby affecting the use effect. When the drone body 1 takes off to a certain height, the locking component is automatically pulled to automatically release the fixing effect of the protective cover 3, so that the protective cover 3 automatically rotates again under the elastic rotation component, exposing the monitoring device body 2 to the outside, which is convenient for monitoring the geological environment at high altitude.

[0028] Further, refer to Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the elastic rotation component includes two fixing plates 4 symmetrically fixed on the bottom surface of the drone body 1, a rotating drum 56 arranged between the two fixing plates 4 for transverse rotation, and a fixing rod 6 arranged inside the rotating drum 5, the two ends of the fixing rod 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the two fixing plates 4, and a bracket is fixedly connected between the tube body of the rotating drum 5 and the protective cover 3;

[0029] The elastic rotation supply component also includes a torsion spring 7 sleeved on the rod body of the fixed rod 6, one end of the torsion spring 7 is fixedly connected to the rod body of the fixed rod 6, and the other end of the torsion spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating drum 5;

[0030] By setting the elastic rotation component, when the protective cover 3 is rotated to cover the monitoring device body 2, the protective cover 3 can rotate the rotating drum 5 through the bracket during the activity, causing the rotating drum 5 to twist the torsion spring 7 on the rod body of the fixing rod 6. In this way, after the locking component releases the fixing effect on the protective cover 3, the rotating drum 5 can quickly reset and rotate the protective cover 3 under the elastic force of the torsion spring 7, exposing the monitoring device body 2 to the outside.

[0031] Further, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that the locking component includes a locking block 8 fixed on the side wall of the protective cover 3, a positioning groove 11 opened on one side of the locking block 8, and a shrink box 9 with one end open and horizontally arranged on one side of the locking block 8 and fixed to the bottom surface of the drone body 1, an elastic card is arranged on the inner side of the shrink box 9, and a pulling piece is arranged on the outer side of the shrink box 9;

[0032] The elastic clamp includes a positioning block 10 slidably disposed inside the shrink box 9, one end of the positioning block 10 penetrates into the inside of the positioning groove 11, and a compression spring 12 is fixed between the other end of the positioning block 10 and the innermost inner wall of the shrink box 9;

[0033] The pulling member includes an insert block 14 disposed at the bottom of the drone body 1 and a pull rope 13 detachably fixed to the top of the insert block 14 , and the end of the pull rope 13 is inserted into the inner side of the shrink box 9 and fixedly connected to the positioning block 10 ;

[0034] By setting the locking component, before the drone body 1 needs to take off, the insert block 14 can be manually inserted into the soil layer in advance. In this way, when the drone body 1 takes off to a certain height, the insert block 14 can form a pulling force on the positioning block 10 through the pull rope 13, causing the positioning block 10 to shrink the inner side of the contraction box 9 and compress the compression spring 12 to deform until the positioning block 10 is completely withdrawn from the inner side of the positioning groove 11, thereby releasing the fixing effect on the protective cover 3. In this way, the protective cover 3 can quickly rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic rotation component, and under the continuous upward force of the drone body 1, the insert block 14 can still be pulled out of the soil layer under the pull of the pull rope 13, releasing the positioning block 10, and causing the positioning block 10 to be reset under the elastic force of the compression spring 12, which is convenient for secondary use.

[0035] Further, refer to Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the positioning block 10 is in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid, and the hypotenuse of the positioning block 10 faces downward;

[0036] By setting the positioning block 10 in a right-angled trapezoidal shape, when the protective cover 3 is rotated and turned to fit with the bottom surface of the drone body 1, the locking block 8 can pre-contact the hypotenuse of the positioning block 10 during the rotation of the protective cover 3, so that the positioning block 10 is passively squeezed and actively contracts the inner side of the contraction box 9 and compresses the compression spring 12 to deform. In this way, by utilizing the elastic force of the compression spring 12, when the locking block 8 carries the positioning groove 11 to the position corresponding to the contraction box 9, the positioning block 10 can automatically reset and insert into the inner side of the positioning groove 11 under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 12, so as to automatically fix the protective cover 3.

[0037] Further, refer to Figure 4 As shown, it is worth noting that an internal thread sleeve 16 is fixed to the top of the plug block 14, and a stud 15 fixedly connected to the pull rope 13 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the internal thread sleeve 16;

[0038] By setting the internal threaded sleeve 16 and the stud 15, when the plug 14 is used for long-term insertion and removal in the soil layer and a large number of burrs or rust appear on the surface of the plug 14, the stud 15 can be manually turned to cause the stud 15 to withdraw from the inner side of the internal threaded sleeve 16 under the threaded structure, and the plug 14 can be removed and replaced separately to prevent the plug 14 with burrs or rust from affecting the insertion and removal effect of the plug 14 in the soil layer.

[0039] In summary, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: through the setting of the covering mechanism, when the drone body 1 takes off, the protective cover 3 is rotated to a position that is in contact with the bottom surface of the drone body 1, so that the locking component can effectively lock the protective cover 3, offset the elastic force of the elastic rotation component, and then the protective cover 3 hides and protects the monitoring device body 2 inside it, preventing the monitoring device body 2 from being attached to a large amount of mud and dust on its surface during the take-off of the drone body 1, affecting the use effect. When the drone body 1 takes off to a certain height, the locking component is automatically pulled and automatically releases the fixing effect of the protective cover 3, so that the protective cover 3 automatically rotates under the elastic rotation component to fix the monitoring device body 2. The measuring device body 2 is exposed to the outside, which is convenient for monitoring the geological environment at high altitude. The positioning block 10 is set in a right-angle trapezoidal shape. When the protective cover 3 is rotated and the protective cover 3 is turned to fit the bottom surface of the drone body 1, the locking block 8 can pre-contact the hypotenuse of the positioning block 10 during the rotation of the protective cover 3, so that the positioning block 10 is passively squeezed and actively shrinks the inner side of the shrinkage box 9 and compresses the compression spring 12 to deform. In this way, the elastic force of the compression spring 12 is utilized. When the locking block 8 carries the positioning groove 11 to the position corresponding to the shrinkage box 9, the positioning block 10 can automatically reset and insert into the inner side of the positioning groove 11 under the elastic force of the compression spring 12, so that the protective cover 3 is automatically fixed.
