The wireless charging receiver forms an electromagnetic induction connection with the wireless charging transmitter in the helipad.

[0008] Furthermore, the environmental monitoring drone has several wings mounted on its edge, and a CCD camera is mounted on its lower surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the aircraft has at least four wings, which are symmetrically distributed around the environmental monitoring drone.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber ring is fixed to the lower edge of the support plate, and the rubber ring is arranged around the central opening of the support plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the wireless charging receiver is fixed to the middle of the upper surface of the support plate, and the bottom of the wireless charging receiver is embedded in the middle opening of the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the wireless charging receiver is connected to a wire that passes through the interior of the bracket and extends into the environmental monitoring drone, where it is electrically connected to the battery inside the environmental monitoring drone.

[0013] Furthermore, a command screen is installed on one side of the enclosure. The command screen is wirelessly connected to the environmental monitoring drone and is equipped with control buttons.

[0031] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) device for environmental monitoring includes a housing 1 and an environmental monitoring UAV 3. A landing pad 2 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 1. A wireless charging generator is installed in the landing pad 2. Horizontal extension plates 9 are movably installed on both sides of the top of the housing 1. A photovoltaic panel 10 is fixed on the upper surface of the extension plate 9. The photovoltaic panel 10 is electrically connected to the wireless charging generator in the landing pad 2 through a cable, so that the extension plate 9 can be horizontally unfolded from the top side of the housing 1 to generate photovoltaic power using the photovoltaic panel 10.

[0033] Meanwhile, two symmetrical supports 4 are fixed to the bottom of the environmental monitoring drone 3. A horizontal support plate 5 is fixed to the lower end of both supports 4. A wireless charging receiver 7 is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 5, and an opening is provided in the middle of the support plate 5 for the bottom of the wireless charging receiver 7 to be embedded. This allows the wireless charging receiver 7 to interact with the wireless charging transmitter in the helipad 2 via electromagnetic induction when the environmental monitoring drone 3 lands on the helipad 2, thereby wirelessly charging the environmental monitoring drone 3. Additionally, a rubber ring 6 is fixed to the lower edge of the support plate 5, surrounding the central opening of the support plate 5, forming a buffer structure on the lower surface of the support plate 5.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the environmental monitoring drone 3 has four wings 301 evenly installed on its edge, and a CCD camera 302 is installed on the lower end face of the environmental monitoring drone 3. The CCD camera 302 can be used to take pictures and monitor the environment. In specific implementation, the environmental monitoring drone 3 can also be equipped with other environmental data monitoring equipment, such as temperature sensors and gas monitors.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the wireless charging receiver 7 is connected to a wire 701. The wire 701 passes through the interior of the bracket 4 and extends into the environmental monitoring drone 3, where it is electrically connected to the battery inside the environmental monitoring drone 3. This allows the wireless charging receiver 7 to power the environmental monitoring drone 3 using the wire 701 after it is paired with the wireless charging transmitter in the helipad 2.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, a command screen 101 is installed on one side of the housing 1. The command screen 101 is wirelessly connected to the environmental monitoring drone 3, and the command screen 101 is equipped with control buttons. Meanwhile, a storage drawer 8 is slidably installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The volume of the storage drawer 8 is larger than the folded volume of the environmental monitoring drone 3.

[0037] Working principle: When using this drone equipment for environmental monitoring, the wings 301 on the environmental monitoring drone 3 can be folded and stored in the storage drawer 8, and then the storage drawer 8 can be put into the box body 1, which is convenient to carry and use, and is conducive to outdoor environmental monitoring work.

[0038] Meanwhile, when using the environmental monitoring drone 3 to conduct environmental monitoring outdoors, the command screen 101 can be used to communicate with the environmental monitoring drone 3, display monitoring data, and when the environmental monitoring drone 3 is low on power, the environmental monitoring drone 3 can be controlled to land on the landing pad 2 on the top of the housing 1, and the wireless charging generator and wireless charging receiver 7 on the landing pad 2 can be used to wirelessly charge the environmental monitoring drone 3 based on solar power.

[0039] When the environmental monitoring drone 3 lands, the rubber ring 6 forms a buffer structure on the lower end face of the support plate 5, which can also prevent the wireless charging receiver 7 from colliding and being damaged when the environmental monitoring drone 3 lands on the landing pad 2, thus helping to improve the service life of the equipment.

[0040] In summary, this device, by using the housing 1 in conjunction with the environmental monitoring drone 3, can provide wireless charging power to the environmental monitoring drone 3 based on solar energy during outdoor environmental monitoring. When carried, the environmental monitoring drone 3 can also be stored in the storage drawer 8 of the housing 1, making it easy to carry and convenient to use.

[0041] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept.
