Detailed implementation manner

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: A collision-proof protection frame for forestry patrol of an unmanned aerial vehicle, including a patrol UAV 1, flank fixing plates 2, a camera protection housing 3 and a top fixing plate 4. There are two symmetrically arranged flank fixing plates 2, and the two flank fixing plates 2 are respectively symmetrically and fixedly installed in the middle of the top ends of both sides of the patrol UAV 1. On the side of the flank fixing plate 2 away from the patrol UAV 1, two connecting support plates 8 are symmetrically and fixedly connected. At the bottom end of the end of the connecting support plate 8 away from the flank fixing plate 2, a flank anti-collision strip 9 is fixedly connected. The connecting support plate 8 plays a supporting role for the flank anti-collision strip 9. Between the two flank anti-collision strips 9, second connecting rods 12 are evenly and fixedly connected. On the side of the flank anti-collision strip 9 away from the second connecting rod 12, side-end anti-collision strips 10 are evenly and fixedly connected. The second connecting rod 12 and the side-end anti-collision strip 10 connect the flank anti-collision strips 9 into a whole, increasing its anti-collision performance. Inside the camera protection housing 3, a protective arc-shaped lens 11 is fixedly connected.

[0022] The camera protection housing 3 is fixedly installed at the front camera position of the patrol UAV 1, and the protective arc-shaped lens 11 is located outside the camera. The protective arc-shaped lens 11 protects the camera without affecting the operation of the camera, avoiding damage to the camera caused by impact and falling.

[0023] A rear-end fixing plate 13 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the patrol UAV 1. One end of the side-end anti-collision strip 10 away from the flank anti-collision strip 9 at the front ends of both sides of the patrol UAV 1 is fixedly connected to the camera protection housing 3, and one end of the side-end anti-collision strip 10 away from the flank anti-collision strip 9 at the rear ends of both sides of the patrol UAV 1 is fixedly connected to the rear-end fixing plate 13. Through the connection of the camera protection housing 3 and the rear-end fixing plate 13, the anti-collision components on both sides are combined into a whole to further strengthen the anti-collision effect.

[0024] At the bottom end of the inspection drone 1, bottom protection brackets 14 are symmetrically and fixedly installed. The outer bottom end of the bottom protection bracket 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the side wing anti-collision strip 9 away from the connecting support plate 8. The two sides of the bottom end of the camera protection housing 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of the two bottom protection brackets 14. The bottom protection brackets 14 can prevent collisions when the inspection drone 1 lands, and uneven ground in the forest area can reduce the probability of the bottom end of the inspection drone 1 being hit by sharp objects through the bottom protection brackets 14.

[0025] Top fixing plates 4 are symmetrically and fixedly installed at both ends of the top end of the inspection drone 1. Two propeller protection frames 5 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to both ends of the top fixing plate 4. Three top anti-collision strips 6 are fixedly connected to the top end of the top fixing plate 4. First connecting rods 7 are evenly fixedly connected between the middle top anti-collision strip 6 and the top anti-collision strips 6 on both sides. The propeller protection frame 5 is located outside the propellers of the inspection drone 1. The propeller protection frame 5 can prevent foreign objects such as branches from entering the rotation range of the propellers, thereby improving the flight safety of the inspection drone 1.

[0026] Working principle: During use, first select lightweight materials to manufacture anti-collision components, then install the top fixing plate 4 on the top end of the inspection drone 1 through bolts, and the propeller protection frame 5 is nested outside the propellers of the inspection drone 1. Then, fixedly install the two side wing fixing plates 2 on both sides of the inspection drone 1 through bolts, install the bottom protection brackets 14 at the bottom end of the inspection drone 1, install the camera protection housing 3 at the front end of the inspection drone 1, and install the rear end fixing plate 13 at the rear end of the inspection drone 1. Then start the drone for inspection. When the side wings of the inspection drone 1 encounter rocks, the side wing anti-collision strips 9 and the side end anti-collision strips 10 on both sides of the inspection drone 1 hit the rocks and bounce off to protect the inspection drone 1 from damage. The protective arc-shaped lens 11 can protect the camera at the front end of the inspection drone 1 and prevent damage caused by hitting the camera. And the propeller protection frame 5 can protect the propellers and prevent the propellers from getting caught in debris such as branches.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
