[0002] As drone technology becomes more mature, its application areas are indeed expanding, especially in scenarios where tasks need to be completed remotely, efficiently and safely. As one of the important applications, drone water collection technology provides great convenience for outdoor operations. However, existing water collection devices do face some challenges in application.

[0003] Obtaining water quality samples at a specified depth is a technical challenge. Water quality at the same depth may vary significantly. Therefore, in order to obtain more accurate water quality data, it is sometimes necessary to collect water quality samples at a specific depth. However, existing water intake devices may be insufficient in accurately controlling the water intake depth, resulting in the inability to accurately obtain water quality samples at the required depth. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a long-distance water-collecting device that utilizes a drone to cross obstacles, aiming to solve the problem that although the drone water-collecting technology brings convenience to outdoor operations, the existing devices are insufficient in accurately controlling the water-collecting depth, making it difficult to obtain water quality samples at a specified depth, thus affecting the accuracy of water quality data.

[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: a long-distance water-taking device that utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle to cross obstacles comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle body; a water-taking mechanism disposed at the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle body; the water-taking mechanism comprises: a connecting rod disposed on the bottom side of the unmanned aerial vehicle body; connecting rings disposed on both sides of the connecting rod; an assembly seat disposed between two connecting rings; a side plate disposed in the assembly seat; a reel rotating on the outer side of the side plate; a servo motor disposed on the other side of the side plate, the output end of the servo motor being fixedly connected with the end key of the reel; a rope wound around the reel, a lifting ring being disposed on the side of the rope away from the reel, a water-taking cylinder being disposed on the lifting ring, and a water level line being disposed on the outer side of the water-taking cylinder.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] First, this device realizes automated long-distance water extraction. The drone equipped with the water extraction mechanism can fly to the target water source, and the servo motor drives the reel to release and retract the rope, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the water extraction barrel, and extracting water from different depths to obtain cleaner water. During this process, the operator only needs to perform necessary monitoring and command operations without direct contact with the water source, which greatly improves the degree of automation of water extraction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this application; the terms used in the specification of the application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. 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 present invention provides a long-distance water extraction device that utilizes a drone to cross obstacles, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a drone body 1; a water intake mechanism arranged at the bottom of the drone body 1; the water intake mechanism includes: a connecting rod 2 arranged on the bottom side of the drone body 1; connecting rings 3 arranged on both sides of the connecting rod 2; an assembly seat 4 arranged between the two connecting rings 3; a side plate 5 arranged in the assembly seat 4; a reel 6 rotating on the outside of the side plate 5; a servo motor 7 arranged on the other side of the side plate 5, the output end of the servo motor 7 is fixedly connected with the end key of the reel 6; a rope 8 wound around the reel 6, a lifting ring 9 is arranged on the side of the rope 8 away from the reel 6, a water intake cylinder 10 is arranged on the lifting ring 9, and a water level line 11 is arranged on the outside of the water intake cylinder 10.

[0022] It should be noted that although drone water-collecting technology brings convenience to outdoor operations, existing devices have shortcomings in accurately controlling the water collection depth, making it difficult to obtain water quality samples at a specified depth, affecting the accuracy of water quality data. This solution realizes automated long-distance water collection. The drone-equipped water collection mechanism can accurately control the water collection depth and obtain clean water sources. Operators only need to monitor and give instructions without having to contact the water source, thereby improving the automation and safety of water collection.

[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scheme mainly includes a drone body 1; a water intake mechanism arranged at the bottom of the drone body 1; first, the drone body 1 carries the water intake mechanism and flies to the target water source. Once the water intake point is reached, the servo motor 7 starts to drive the reel 6 to rotate. As the reel 6 rotates, the rope 8 originally wound around the reel 6 is gradually released. The other end of the rope 8 is connected to a solid lifting ring 9, and a water intake cylinder 10 is installed on the lifting ring 9. Therefore, when the rope 8 is released, the water intake cylinder 10 drops accordingly and gradually approaches the water surface.

[0024] During the descent of the water collecting cylinder 10, the operator will closely observe the water level line 11 outside the water collecting cylinder 10 to ensure that the water collecting cylinder 10 can accurately reach the predetermined water collecting depth. Once the water collecting cylinder 10 touches the water surface and reaches the predetermined water collecting depth, the servo motor 7 will stop rotating to keep the position of the water collecting cylinder 10 in the water stable. At this time, the water collecting cylinder 10 can start to collect water.

[0025] After completing the water collection task, the servo motor 7 drives the reel 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby gradually retracting the rope 8. As the rope 8 is retracted, the water collection cylinder 10 is gradually lifted and finally returns to the bottom of the drone body 1;

[0026] During the entire water-collecting process, the close cooperation between the drone and the water-collecting mechanism ensures the accuracy and safety of water collection. The drone uses its flying ability and obstacle avoidance system to achieve long-distance water collection across obstacles; and the setting of the water-collecting mechanism realizes automated water-collecting operations.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a group of connecting rods 12 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom side of the assembly seat 4, and a same limiting seat 13 is connected between two connecting rods 12. The side wall of the limiting seat 13 is penetrated by a reserved hole 14 for the rope 8 to pass through.

[0028] In this embodiment, the provision of the reserved hole 14 allows the rope 8 to smoothly pass through the limit seat 13 without any hindrance during the release or retraction of the reel 6, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the rope 8 is fixed and stable, thereby further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the water extraction process.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a sealing seat 15 is provided in the water intake cylinder 10, and a water pump 16 is provided in the sealing seat 15. One end of the water pump 16 passes through the sealing seat 15 and is connected to the water intake cylinder 10, and the other end of the water pump 16 extends to the bottom side of the water intake cylinder 10 and is connected to a water intake pipe 17.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the water intake cylinder 10 descends to a predetermined depth and stabilizes below the water surface, the water pump 16 draws water from the water intake pipe 17 and pushes the water into the water intake cylinder 10 through the delivery channel of the water pump 16. The presence of the sealing seat 15 ensures that the connection between the water pump 16 and the water intake cylinder 10 is sealed to prevent water from leaking from the connection during the transmission process. This not only realizes the automated water intake process, but also allows the water source to be quickly extracted through the strong extraction of the water pump 16.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a water level sensor 18 is provided on the outer side of the water intake pipe 17 .

[0032] In this embodiment, by real-time monitoring of the contact between the water intake tube 10 and the water surface, the water level sensor 18 (NUFADQ304) can effectively prevent problems such as poor water intake effect or equipment damage caused by insufficient or excessive water intake depth.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a gravity sensor 19 is arranged inside the hanging ring 9.

[0034] In this embodiment, the data of the gravity sensor 19 (JHBM-M2) can be used to analyze and monitor parameters such as the moving trajectory, speed and acceleration of the object, which helps to accurately control the state of the suspended water intake cylinder 10.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, an infrared sensor 20 is arranged on the outer side of the assembly seat 4 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the infrared sensor 20 (LH1958) can be used to detect the existence or position of objects around the assembly seat 4 to achieve functions such as automatic control or safety monitoring.

[0037] Working principle: First, the drone body 1 carrying the water collection mechanism flies to the target water source; once the drone reaches the water collection point, the servo motor 7 starts to drive the reel 6 to rotate; as the reel 6 rotates, the rope 8 originally wound around the reel 6 is gradually released; the other end of the rope 8 is connected to a sturdy lifting ring 9, and a water collection cylinder 10 is installed on the lifting ring 9; therefore, when the rope 8 is released, the water collection cylinder 10 will drop accordingly and gradually approach the water surface;

[0038] During the descent of the water intake cylinder 10, the operator observes the water level line 11 outside the water intake cylinder 10 to ensure that the water intake cylinder 10 can accurately reach the predetermined water intake depth; at the same time, the water level sensor 18 arranged outside the water intake cylinder 10 also monitors the contact between the water intake cylinder 10 and the water surface in real time; once the water intake cylinder 10 contacts the water surface and reaches the predetermined water intake depth, the water level sensor 18 will react quickly and transmit the signal to the control system;

[0039] After receiving the signal from the water level sensor 18, the control system will instruct the servo motor 7 to stop rotating, so as to keep the position of the water collection tube 10 in the water stable; at this time, the water collection tube 10 can start to collect water; the infrared sensor 20 arranged outside the assembly seat 4 also plays a role in this process, which is used to detect the existence or position of objects around the assembly seat 4, so as to realize functions such as automatic control or safety monitoring;

[0040] After the water collection cylinder 10 is stabilized below the water surface, the water pump 16 starts to work, sucking water from the water collection pipe 17 and pushing the water into the water collection cylinder 10 through the conveying channel of the water pump 16; the existence of the sealing seat 15 ensures that the connection between the water pump 16 and the water collection cylinder 10 is sealed, preventing water from leaking from the connection during the transmission process;

[0041] After completing the water collection task, the servo motor 7 drives the reel 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby gradually retracting the rope 8; as the rope 8 is retracted, the water collection cylinder 10 is gradually lifted and finally returns to the bottom of the drone body 1;

[0042] During the entire water collection process, the close cooperation between the drone and the water collection mechanism ensures the accuracy and safety of water collection; the drone uses its flight capability and obstacle avoidance system to achieve long-distance water collection across obstacles; and the automated operation of the water collection mechanism, including the drive of the servo motor 7, the detection of the water level sensor 18, the extraction of the water pump 16, etc., makes the water collection process more efficient and reliable;

[0043] In addition, the gravity sensor 19 also plays an important role in the water extraction process; its data can be used to analyze and monitor parameters such as the movement trajectory, speed and acceleration of the water extraction cylinder 10, which helps to accurately control the state of the suspended water extraction cylinder 10.
