Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aircraft with scanning and imaging functions, in particular to an aircraft with scanning and imaging functions. Background Art
[0002] An aircraft with scanning imaging capabilities is a device that uses a camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle to survey the surrounding terrain. The camera on board takes multiple frames of images of the same target during the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, calculates the target depth through the motion trajectory of the feature points, and thus determines the distance. In this way, the distance information of the target object is obtained and the data information is transmitted back to the ground station for observation.
[0003] Current aircraft with scanning and imaging capabilities are prone to collisions with dust, sand and other impurities during actual use. They are generally protected by adding a transparent glass cover on the outside. However, dust will accumulate on the surface of the glass cover after long-term use, blocking the camera and reducing the collection effect. At the same time, when drones conduct high-precision surveying and mapping in windy and snowy weather, the drones fly at a slower speed and lower altitude, which may cause snow to accumulate on the outside of the drone and the glass cover, increasing the weight and causing a decline in flight performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model provides an aircraft with a scanning imaging function, which can drive a cleaning block to slide on the surface of the drone through a moving mechanism, thereby pushing off the snow on the surface of the drone. During the movement of the moving mechanism, it will contact the driving mechanism, and then the driving mechanism will drive the scraper to rotate to scrape off the snow on the protective shell and the tempered glass surface.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, an aircraft with scanning imaging capabilities is provided, comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein a camera is fixedly mounted on one end of the bottom surface of the UAV, a protective frame is provided on the outer side of the camera, a tempered glass is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the protective frame, the protective frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the UAV, a scraper is rotatably connected to the outer side of the protective frame, and fixed columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the scraper, a sliding groove is defined on the outer side of the lower end of the UAV, a driving mechanism is slidably connected to the side of the sliding groove near the camera, a limiting groove is defined on the inner bottom surface of the sliding groove, a moving mechanism is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove, and a cleaning plate is provided on the upper surface of the UAV, the moving mechanism passing through the sliding groove and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cleaning plate. The moving mechanism drives the cleaning block to slide across the surface of the UAV, thereby pushing off snow accumulated on the surface of the UAV. During the movement of the moving mechanism, it contacts the driving mechanism, which in turn drives the scraper to rotate and scrape snow accumulated on the protective shell and the tempered glass.
[0006] According to the aforementioned aircraft with scanning and imaging capabilities, the moving mechanism includes a sliding block, a connecting block, a moving block, a screw, and a motor. The moving block is slidably connected to the inner side of a limiting groove, and the sliding block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving block. The outer side of the sliding block contacts the inner side of the sliding groove. By providing a movable plate and the limiting groove, the sliding block is limited in position, making the sliding block more stable during movement.
[0007] According to the aforementioned aircraft with scanning and imaging capabilities, the connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of both ends of the sliding block, and the end of the connecting block away from the sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cleaning plate. The connecting blocks and the cleaning plate cooperate with each other, so that when the sliding block moves, the cleaning plate is driven by the connecting blocks to move simultaneously, thereby pushing away accumulated snow.
[0008] According to the aforementioned aircraft with scanning imaging capabilities, the screw is threadedly connected to the inner side of the moving block, and both ends of the screw pass through the moving block and are rotatably connected to the inner surface of the limiting groove. A groove is formed on the inner side of one end of the drone near the limiting groove, and the motor is fixedly mounted inside the groove. The output end of the motor passes through the groove and is fixedly connected to one end of the screw. By providing mutual cooperation between the screw and the moving block, the threads on the screw surface drive the moving block to move more stably.
[0009] According to the aforementioned aircraft with scanning and imaging capabilities, the driving mechanism includes a force-bearing block, a driving block, a driving slot, and a spring. The force-bearing block is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding slot near the camera, and the driving block is fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of both ends of the force-bearing block. The driving slot is formed on the surface of the driving block, and the fixed post is slidably connected to the inner side of the driving slot. When the force-bearing block moves, it drives the driving block to move, thereby applying force to the fixed post, causing the fixed post to slide inside the driving slot, thereby completing the snow scraping.
[0010] According to the aforementioned aircraft with scanning imaging capabilities, the fixing post and the inner side of the drive slot are mutually aligned, and the contact surface between the fixing post and the drive slot is configured to be smooth. By providing the mutual engagement between the fixing post and the drive slot, friction is reduced, making the movement of the fixing post within the drive slot more stable.
[0011] According to the aircraft with scanning and imaging functions, a limiting post is provided inside the sliding slot. Two limiting posts are provided and are symmetrical to each other. The ends of the limiting posts respectively pass through the sliding block and the force-bearing block and are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding slot. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting post. The ends of the spring are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the force-bearing block and the sliding slot that is close to each other. By providing the spring, the force-bearing block is pushed back by the spring, allowing the force-bearing block to be used multiple times.
[0012] According to the aircraft with scanning imaging function, a sponge block is bonded to the inner side of the scraper, and the sponge block is in contact with the tempered glass.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: by arranging the mutual cooperation between the moving mechanism, the UAV and the cleaning plate, the moving mechanism drives the cleaning block to slide on the surface of the UAV, thereby pushing off the snow on the surface of the UAV; during the movement of the moving mechanism, it will contact the driving mechanism, and then the driving mechanism drives the scraper to rotate to scrape off the snow on the protective shell and the tempered glass surface, thereby greatly reducing the problem of reduced camera survey and collection effect and reduced flight performance of the aircraft.
