Utilizing the flexibility and high maneuverability of drones, and equipped with specialized air quality sensors, it can achieve real-time monitoring of atmospheric pollutants and quickly cover large areas, thereby providing efficient and rapid air quality detection services.
[0003] Existing traditional drone air quality monitors may not be set up to take into account the complex airflow conditions and other external dynamic factors that may be encountered during flight, such as sudden changes in wind force and direction, or the drone's own maneuvering flight. Due to the lack of a stable and flexible connection mechanism to ensure close coordination between the detector and the drone, the detector may experience unnecessary shaking and vibration during flight. This shaking and vibration will not only cause additional stress on the mechanical structure of the detector and shorten its service life, but more importantly, it will also have a negative impact on the accuracy and reliability of air quality detection data. For example, shaking may cause fluctuations in sensor readings inside the detector, thereby introducing errors. In extreme cases, severe shaking may even cause temporary failure or damage to the detector. Utility Model Content

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0035] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0036] Example 1:
[0037] A drone air quality monitor, such as Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, it includes a drone 1 and a detector 2. The drone 1 includes a body 101, a platform 104 is provided on the top of the body 101, an annular groove 105 is provided on the top of the platform 104, and an airbag ring 106 is installed inside the annular groove 105; the detector 2 includes an instrument body 201, an annular groove 204 is provided on the bottom of the instrument body 201, and the airbag ring 106 fits with the annular groove 204. The detector 2 is moved in the air through the drone 1, so that the air quality can be flexibly detected at different locations. The platform 104 on the top of the body 101 provides a stable platform for installing the detector 2. The setting of the annular groove 105 and the airbag ring 106 enables the detector 2 to be firmly fixed on the drone 1, while ensuring the flexibility and stability of the connection.
[0038] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The material of the airbag ring 106 is polyvinyl fluoride. The airbag ring 106 and the annular groove 204 are used to improve the stability of the detector 2 and the drone 1. The airbag ring 106 made of polyvinyl fluoride has good weather resistance and chemical stability, can effectively resist the influence of the external environment, and extend the service life. At the same time, the fitting setting of the airbag ring 106 and the annular groove 204 improves the connection stability between the detector 2 and the drone 1, ensuring that the detector 2 will not fall off or shift due to bumps during the flight.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Two mounting grooves 108 are provided on the inner side of the annular groove 105, and displacement sensors 109 are provided inside the two mounting grooves 108. The mounting grooves 108 provide a stable and protected installation environment for the displacement sensor 109, ensuring that it can accurately measure the displacement of the detector 2. This setting not only improves the service life of the sensor, but also makes the monitoring of the stability of the detector 2 more accurate and reliable.
[0041] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The displacement sensor 109 is arranged in an oblique structure, and the displacement sensor 109 is used to monitor the stability of the detector 2. The oblique displacement sensor 109 can more sensitively capture the tiny displacement and vibration of the detector 2 during flight. This layout helps to improve the accuracy of stability monitoring, thereby timely warning of possible shaking or instability, ensuring the accuracy of detection data and the safety of the equipment.
[0042] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Two base frames 102 are provided at the bottom of the body 101. The two base frames 102 are mirror-imaged along the central axis of the body 101. The setting of the base frames 102 increases the stability of the drone on the ground or during take-off and landing. The two base frames are mirror-imaged along the central axis of the body 101, ensuring that the drone can be stably supported when placed, preventing tilting or rolling, and providing a solid foundation for the safe take-off and landing of the drone.
[0043] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Four fan blades 103 are arranged on the outside of the body 101. The four fan blades 103 are arranged equidistantly in a circular array, which ensures the balance and stability of the drone during flight. This layout can generate lift evenly, allowing the drone to fly smoothly and reduce bumps and vibrations during flight. For the air quality detector on board, this means a more accurate detection environment and less interference.
[0044] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The body 101 is made of engineering plastic, and the base 102 is made of carbon nanomaterial. The body 101 made of engineering plastic has the characteristics of being light, impact-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, which can reduce the overall weight of the drone and improve flight efficiency and safety. The base 102 made of carbon nanomaterial has the advantages of high strength, high rigidity, and light weight, which can further enhance the structural strength and stability of the drone.
[0045] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 A plurality of air inlet holes 203 are provided at the lower outer side of the instrument body 201. The plurality of air inlet holes 203 are used to draw air. The plurality of air inlet holes 203 ensure that the air quality detector can efficiently draw air samples and perform fast and accurate air quality detection. This setting ensures that the detector can obtain air samples in the environment in real time, providing sufficient data support for subsequent air quality analysis.
[0046] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4A probe 202 is provided on the upper outer side of the instrument body 201. The probe 202 is used for visual detection. The probe 202 is used for visual detection and can assist the UAV in environmental perception and target positioning, which is crucial for the UAV to fly and detect in complex environments, and can improve the safety of flight and the accuracy of detection.
[0047] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 A threaded groove 107 is provided at the top axis of the machine 104, and a threaded block 205 is provided at the bottom axis of the instrument body 201. The threaded block 205 is engaged with the threaded groove 107. The threaded connection setting enables the detector 2 to be firmly fixed on the drone 1, and is convenient for installation and disassembly. The stability of the threaded connection ensures that the detector will not fall off or shift due to vibration during flight, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection and the safety of the equipment. In addition, this connection method also has a certain degree of adjustability, and the position and angle of the detector can be fine-tuned as needed.
[0048] The implementation principle of the present invention is as follows: First, it is necessary to check whether the drone 1 and the detector 2 are intact, especially the key components such as the body 101, the platform 104, the annular groove 105, the airbag ring 106, the instrument body 201 and the annular groove 204. Then, it is ensured that the displacement sensor 109 is installed in the installation groove 108 and is working properly, so as to monitor the stability of the detector 2 during flight;
[0049] Align the annular groove 204 at the bottom of the instrument body 201 of the detector 2 with the airbag ring 106 on the drone 1 platform 104 and gently press down to make the two fit tightly. Rotate the instrument body 201 to align the thread block 205 with the thread groove 107 on the top of the platform 104, and then tighten to enhance the stability of the connection;
[0050] After takeoff, air is sucked in through the air inlet 203, and the detector 2 begins to detect air quality. At the same time, the displacement sensor 109 monitors the stability of the detector 2 in real time to ensure the accuracy of the detection data.
[0051] After use, gently rotate and lift the detector 2 to separate the thread block 205 from the thread groove 107, and then remove the detector for data storage and maintenance.
[0052] Parts not involved in the present invention are the same as those in the prior art or can be implemented by using the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
