Description

Technical Field

[0002] Environmental monitoring is a process of intermittently or continuously observing, measuring, and analyzing the changes and environmental impact of one or more environmental elements or indicators for a specific purpose, in a pre-designed time and space, using comparable environmental information and data collection methods. Among them, water quality testing is a relatively important item in environmental testing. Water quality testing refers to the measurement and evaluation of the content, nature, quantity, type, and change trend of various pollutants in the water body to determine the water quality status and environmental health level of the water body. For outdoor water quality testing, with the rapid development of drones, the use of drones for outdoor water quality testing can monitor large areas of water such as rivers and lakes. At the same time, drones can also cross some areas with complex terrain and difficult to reach, and realize water quality monitoring in remote areas, expanding the coverage of water quality monitoring. In addition, when using drones for sampling, monitoring personnel do not need to take a boat to the sampling site. They only need to operate drones on the shore to complete water sample collection, which reduces the risk during the sampling process and improves the safety of monitoring personnel. However, most existing drone samplers can only take water samples at one point. After taking the samples, the sampler is suspended back to the shore by the drone, and after replacing the new sampling bottle, the water quality of other locations is sampled again. This kind of sampler is relatively time-consuming when used.

The second gear 7 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 8. The second motor 8 body is installed on the right side of the upper surface of the middle beam of the U-shaped bracket 4. A micro water pump 9 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the first gear 6, and the lower side pipe mouth of the micro water pump 9 is fixedly connected to the water pump 91.
