[0019] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be clear that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, in some illustrative embodiments, a front filtering device for preventing the spraying port of a plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle from being blocked is provided, including: a pressure barrel 1, a filtering barrel 2, a liquid medicine inlet pipe group 3, a power assembly and a loading cart 4.

[0021] The pressure barrel 1 is used to contain the pesticide to be filtered. The power assembly is arranged in the pressure barrel 1, and the pesticide is stirred through the power assembly to promote the uniformity of the liquid medicine. In addition, the design of the power assembly realizes providing a thrust for the flow of the pesticide while stirring, that is, the rotational movement generated by the power assembly will form a flow thrust in the liquid medicine, and at the same time, the stirring impeller gradually moves downward, which helps to push the liquid medicine towards the filtering barrel 2 to accelerate the filtering and filling speed. Therefore, in this application, while ensuring the filtering effect, the filling speed is improved, so as to ensure the operation efficiency of the plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle and be more suitable for large-scale spraying operations.

[0022] Specifically, the power assembly includes: a support platform plate 5, a stirring screw 6, a driving part 7, and a stirring impeller 8.

[0023] On the inner wall of the pressure barrel 1, a bearing platform 101 is provided. The bearing platform 101 is an annular table surface welded inside the pressure barrel 1, and its function is to provide an installation position for the power assembly, ensuring that the power assembly can be stably located on it and can effectively perform stirring and pushing operations.

[0024] The support platform plate 5 provides a stable support platform for the stirring screw 6 and the stirring impeller 8. It specifically includes: an annular platform plate main body 501, a suspension rod 502, and a support frustum 503. The annular platform plate main body 501 is located on the bearing platform 101. During specific implementation, a tooth groove structure that can be meshed with each other can be opened on the lower surface of the support platform plate 5 and the upper surface of the bearing platform 101 to achieve relative fixation between the two. The support frustum 503 is connected to the annular platform plate main body 501 through the suspension rod 502 and is located at its central part. The suspension rod 502 has sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the forces and torques of the stirring screw 6 and the stirring impeller 8 during operation. The support frustum 503 is a cylindrical structure and is provided with a threaded hole, and the stirring screw 6 is threadedly connected to the support frustum 503.

[0025] A driving part 7 is provided at the top end of the stirring screw 6, and a stirring impeller 8 is provided at the bottom end of the stirring screw 6. When the driving part 7 is rotated, the stirring screw 6 rotates along with it, and then drives the stirring impeller 8 at the bottom to rotate to stir the liquid medicine. One of the functions of stirring the liquid medicine is to promote the uniformity of the liquid medicine, and the second function is that the rotating action forms a flow thrust. While the above process is being executed, since the stirring screw 6 is threadedly connected to the support frustum 503, the stirring screw 6 will gradually move downward as it rotates, and then drive the stirring impeller 8 to gradually approach the filter barrel 2, further pushing the liquid medicine towards the filter barrel 2 to accelerate the filtering and filling speed. To sum up, the design and operation mechanism of the stirring screw 6 and the stirring impeller 8 not only ensure the uniformity and flow thrust of the liquid medicine, but also further improve the filtering and filling speed through the axial movement characteristics of the threaded connection, thereby optimizing the operation process of the entire plant protection UAV spraying system.

[0026] The driving part 7 is an L-shaped rocker. One end of the L-shaped rocker is a hexagonal rod, and the other end is provided with a handle 701. A hexagonal prism groove adapted to the hexagonal rod is opened at the top end of the stirring screw 6. Adaptation means that the hexagonal rod can be embedded in the hexagonal prism groove. The design of the hexagonal rod and the hexagonal prism groove ensures the uniqueness of the connection between the L-shaped rocker and the stirring screw 6, preventing misalignment during driving. The hand force of the staff is transmitted to the L-shaped rocker through the handle 701, and when the driving part 7 is driven, it can further drive the stirring screw 6 to rotate. The embedded connection can not only ensure the stability of the connection part, but also simplify the operation and installation process of the staff.

[0027] The filter barrel 2 is a conical barrel. The conical structure helps to guide the pesticide liquid to flow towards the bottom of the barrel and finally enter the drone medicine box through the liquid medicine inlet pipe group 3. The filter barrel 2 is arranged at the bottom of the pressurized barrel 1 and is used to pre-filter the pesticide before filling. A conical collar 201 is arranged inside the filter barrel 2, and a filter screen 202 is arranged inside the conical collar 201. The conical design of the conical collar 201 matches the inner wall of the filter barrel 2 and is fixed inside the barrel, providing a stable support frame for the filter screen 202. The mesh size of the filter screen 202 is designed to intercept larger solid particles, impurities and residues in the liquid medicine, preventing these substances from entering the drone medicine box and the subsequent spraying system.

[0028] Several conical collars 201 are arranged inside the filter barrel 2. Each conical collar 201 is arranged inside the filter barrel 2 at equal intervals from top to bottom and the diameter gradually decreases, which helps to ensure that the liquid medicine can flow smoothly through each filtering layer during the filtering process. The liquid medicine first contacts the topmost conical collar 201, and the mesh of its filter screen 202 is larger, which can intercept larger impurities and particles. As the liquid medicine flows downward, it will pass through each conical collar 201 in turn. Since the diameter of each collar gradually decreases, the mesh of the internal filter screen 202 also gradually becomes smaller, thereby filtering out finer impurities. Through this multi-layer conical collar 201 filtering design, firstly, the filtering effect of the liquid medicine is improved; secondly, each conical collar 201 can be taken out separately for cleaning or replacement, which is convenient for maintenance and upkeep; thirdly, according to different filtering requirements, the filtering precision can be adjusted by replacing the filter screen 202 with different mesh sizes.

[0029] The liquid medicine inlet pipe group 3 is arranged at the bottom of the filter barrel 2 and is connected to the filling port of the drone medicine box. The liquid medicine inlet pipe group 3 includes: a liquid inlet docking port 301, a rubber conduit 302 and a liquid outlet docking port 303; the liquid inlet docking port 301 and the liquid outlet docking port 303 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rubber conduit 302. The liquid inlet docking port 301 is connected to the filter barrel 2, and the liquid outlet docking port 303 is connected to the filling port of the drone medicine box. The structure of the liquid inlet docking port 301 needs to match the outlet of the filter barrel 2 to ensure a sealed and stable connection. The rubber conduit 302 is the main part of the liquid medicine inlet pipe group 3 and is usually made of a rubber material that is corrosion-resistant and chemical-resistant to adapt to the characteristics of pesticides. The design of the liquid outlet docking port 303 also needs to ensure a match with the filling port of the medicine box to ensure that the liquid medicine flows smoothly into the medicine box.

[0030] The loading cart 4 is used to carry the pressurized barrel 1, the filtration barrel 2, and the pesticide barrel 9. The loading cart 4 includes: a chassis 401, a docking station 402, a frame body 403, and a tipping frame 404. The pressurized barrel 1 is welded to the frame body 403. The docking station 402 and the frame body 403 are arranged on the upper surface of the chassis 401, and walking wheels are provided at the bottom of the chassis 401. The chassis 401 is the basic part of the loading cart 4 to bear the weight loaded above. The docking station 402 is a platform on the cart for temporarily docking the drone to facilitate the filling operation.

[0031] The tipping frame 404 is used to place the pesticide barrel 9. One end of the tipping frame 404 is connected to the frame body 403 through a hinge point, which enables the tipping frame 404 to rotate around this hinge point. The other end of the tipping frame 404 is connected to the screw lifting mechanism 10, and the screw lifting mechanism 10 is arranged on the chassis 401. When it is necessary to pour the liquid medicine in the pesticide barrel 9 into the pressurized barrel 1, the screw lifting mechanism 10 is operated to gradually tilt the tipping frame 404. As the tipping frame tilts, the liquid medicine in the pesticide barrel 9 will slowly flow along the barrel wall into the pressurized barrel 1. By controlling the tilting angle of the tipping frame 404, the pouring speed and flow rate of the liquid medicine can be controlled to avoid splashing or generating bubbles of the liquid medicine and ensure that the liquid medicine is accurately poured into the pressurized barrel 1.

[0032] The screw lifting mechanism 10 adopts an existing structure. By stepping on the pedal, the worm and gear system is driven to drive the screw transmission device, so that the screw lifting mechanism slowly rises or falls. At the same time, a worm and gear reducer is equipped to reduce the speed and increase the torque, thereby slowing down the lifting speed. Specifically, when the staff steps on the pedal, the pedal converts the linear motion of stepping on through a connecting rod or other transmission mechanisms into the rotational motion of the worm and gear system. The pedal drives the worm, and the spiral shape of the worm causes the worm gear to generate a motion perpendicular to the axis of the worm when the worm rotates. The worm and gear system has a self-locking function, that is, the worm can drive the worm gear to rotate, but the worm gear cannot drive the worm to rotate, which helps to maintain the position of the lifting mechanism when the pedal is released. This design can achieve precise and stable lifting control.

[0033] A notch 102 is opened at the barrel mouth of the pressurized barrel 1, and an inclined conveying groove 103 is arranged in the notch 102. The water inlet end of the conveying groove 103 faces the tipping frame 404, and the water outlet end of the conveying groove 103 extends into the barrel of the pressurized barrel 1. When the tipping frame 404 pours the liquid medicine in the pesticide barrel 9, the liquid medicine will flow along the tipping frame to the water inlet end of the conveying groove 103 and finally enter the pressurized barrel 1.

[0034] The above are only specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
