[0034] The utility model provides a technical solution: a drone with a water intake structure, which includes a drone 1 and a water intake tank 5, the drone 1 has a clamping mechanism 4, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a mounting block 41, the upper surface of the mounting block 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone 1, the lower surface of the mounting block 41 is provided with a first groove 401, a screw rod 42 and two moving blocks 43 installed on the screw rod 42 are arranged in the first groove 401, the axis of the screw rod 42 is parallel to the lower surface of the mounting block 41, and the two moving blocks 43 are fixedly connected with a clamping plate 44; wherein, rotating the screw rod 42 drives the two moving blocks 43 to move toward or away from each other, so that the two clamping plates 44 clamp or release the water intake tank 5.
[0035] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 When in use, the water tank 5 is installed. According to the different sizes of the water tank 5, the operator can rotate the screw 42 in the clamping mechanism 4 to move the two moving blocks 43 to adjust the distance between the two clamping plates 44, so that the water tanks 5 of different sizes can be clamped. Compared with the prior art, the adaptability is greatly improved. Afterwards, the operator can control the rotor 3 on the arm 12 to rotate through the remote control, so that the drone 1 moves to the vicinity of the water source for subsequent water collection operations.
[0036] As an optional embodiment, in some embodiments, fixing grooves 501 are provided on opposite sides of the water intake tank 5, a second groove 601 is provided on opposite sides of the two clamping plates 44, and through holes connected to the second groove 601 are provided on opposite sides of the clamping plates 44, and two opposite sides of the clamping plates 44 are perpendicular to a side with the second groove 601, and a compression spring 61 is provided in the second groove 601, and both ends of the compression spring 61 are respectively abutted against movable rods 63, and the free ends of the two movable rods 63 extend out of the two through holes respectively, and L-shaped plug rods 62 are fixedly connected to the two movable rods 63, and the longer ends of the two L-shaped plug rods 62 are arranged in the second groove 601, and the shorter ends of the two L-shaped plug rods 62 are arranged outside the second groove 601 and in opposite directions, and the shorter ends of the two L-shaped plug rods 62 are adapted to the fixing groove 501.
[0037] Specifically, see Figure 3 In order to further improve the stability of the water tank 5 on the drone 1, fixing grooves 501 are opened on the two sides where the water tank 5 is clamped, and second grooves 601 are opened on the two sides where the clamping plate 44 clamps the water tank 6, and two L-shaped rods 62 are installed in the second grooves 601 for inserting into the fixing grooves 501 on the water tank 5. In this way, the shaking of the water tank 5 during transportation can be effectively avoided, and the stability is greatly improved.
[0038] In the above embodiment, further, a gripping handle 64 is provided at the free end of the movable rod 63. Figure 3 On the one hand, this design makes it easy for the operator to press the movable rod 63. On the other hand, this design conforms to the principles of ergonomics and can improve the comfort of the operator when pressing the movable rod 63.
[0039] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a fixing mechanism is also included, which includes two support rods 2, the two support rods 2 are inclined in a direction away from the water tank 5, one end of the two support rods 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone 1, and the other end of the two support rods 2 is fixedly connected to a cross bar 21, and the axis of the cross bar 21 is parallel to the lower surface of the mounting block 41.
[0040] Specifically, see again Figure 1 The two support rods 2 of the fixing mechanism are tilted in opposite directions to make the load distribution more even, avoiding the pressure concentration and instability caused by single-point load bearing, helping to reduce the shaking and vibration caused by uneven load bearing, and improving the stability of the overall structure. At the same time, the cross bar 21 can increase the contact area with the ground, more effectively resist the overturning moment, and thus keep the drone 1 in a stable state.
[0041] In the above embodiment, further, rubber ring pads are installed at both ends of the cross bar 21. Figure 1 On the one hand, the rubber ring pad can increase the friction with the ground to avoid slipping; on the other hand, it can absorb and disperse the vibration and impact when the drone 1 lands, protecting the drone 1 and the water tank 5 from damage.
[0042] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a camera 11 is further included, and the camera 11 is arranged downward near the bottom of the drone 1. Figure 1 In this way, when operating the drone 1, on the one hand, the operator can better observe the flight environment and avoid accidental collision with buildings to cause damage. On the other hand, the operator can take pictures during flight to obtain image information in the environmental monitoring area.
[0043] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, one end of the screw rod 42 extends out of the first groove 401 and is provided with a screw head 45. Figure 2 This design makes it easy for operators to rotate the screw 42, so that the distance between the two clamping plates 44 can be quickly adjusted to clamp water intake boxes 5 of different sizes or release the water intake boxes 5.
[0044] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a reinforcement frame 52 is provided at the water inlet of the water intake box 5. Figure 4During the water intake process, water flows into the water intake box 5 through the water intake port, and the reinforcement frame 52 can make the structure at the water intake port more solid. At the same time, during long-term use, the water intake port may be deformed by various forces. The presence of the reinforcement frame 52 can effectively resist the effects of these forces, prevent the water intake port from being deformed unnecessarily, and maintain the integrity of its shape and function.
[0045] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a filter screen 53 is provided at the water inlet of the water inlet tank 5. Figure 4 The installation of the filter 53 can prevent debris such as leaves flowing with the water flow from entering the water intake tank 5 through the water intake port, thereby preventing debris such as leaves from affecting the monitoring of water quality.
[0046] As an optional implementation, in some embodiments, a drain port 51 is provided on the side of the water intake tank 5 near the bottom thereof. Figure 4 When it is necessary to test the water sample inside the water intake box 5 , the water sample can be quickly discharged through the drain port 51 .
