Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone monitoring technology, specifically a monitoring drone device for smart agriculture. Background Technology

[0002] The technical field involved in this utility model is smart agriculture, which is an innovative model that utilizes modern information technology and intelligent equipment to optimize agricultural production. The application of monitoring drones in smart agriculture is playing an important role.

[0003] Drones equipped with high-definition cameras and multispectral and thermal infrared sensors are used to monitor crop growth in farmland, as well as the distribution of pests, diseases, and weeds. They support efficient inspections of large areas of farmland, offering greater speed and accuracy than traditional manual methods. They collect data on soil moisture, temperature, and nutrient distribution. Multispectral imaging detects crop disease stress, chlorophyll content, and abnormal growth, providing data support for precision fertilization and pesticide management decisions. Drone monitoring enables precise irrigation and efficient water resource utilization, preventing waste.

[0004] Traditional field inspections are inefficient and prone to missing important information, while drones significantly improve inspection speed and provide detailed farmland data, laying the foundation for precision agriculture decision-making. The precise use of pesticides and fertilizers reduces waste and environmental pollution, enabling more sustainable agricultural development. Delegating high-intensity tasks such as field inspections and pest and disease detection to drones reduces the risk of farmers being exposed to high temperatures, high humidity, and pesticide residues for extended periods. The visualization of farmland data allows managers to intuitively understand crop growth and environmental changes, promoting a shift in agriculture from experience-based guidance to data-driven scientific management.

[0005] Main applications include: crop health monitoring; precision irrigation; large-scale farmland inspection; harvest forecasting; livestock inspection; and monitoring. As an important component of smart agriculture, drones significantly improve agricultural productivity with their high efficiency, precision, and environmental friendliness, providing strong support for the transformation of modern agriculture towards intelligence and sustainable development.

[0006] Existing technical solutions have the technical problem of not being able to significantly improve the monitoring range and viewing angle. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a monitoring drone device for smart agriculture, which solves the technical problem that existing technical solutions cannot significantly improve the monitoring range and viewing angle.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a smart agriculture monitoring drone device, including a main frame, a lifting frame slidably installed inside the main frame, a multi-directional monitoring structure installed at the lower end of the lifting frame, a rotor frame rotatably installed on the main frame, a rotor structure installed on the rotor frame, a battery compartment fixedly installed on the rotor frame, and a wing frame adjustment structure installed on the main frame.

[0009] Preferably, a fixed tube is provided at the upper end of the main frame, the lifting frame is slidably installed in the fixed tube, a first motor is fixedly installed in the fixed tube, a drive gear is fixedly installed at the drive end of the first motor, a rack is fixedly installed on the side wall of the lifting frame, and the drive gear is meshed with the rack.

[0010] Preferably, the multi-directional monitoring structure includes a monitor, a lifting platform is fixedly installed on the lifting frame, a turntable is rotatably installed on the lower inner wall of the lifting platform, a tilting frame is fixedly installed on the turntable, and the monitor is rotatably installed inside the tilting frame.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly installed inside the lifting frame, and the drive end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the upper wall of the turntable. A third motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the pitching frame, and the drive end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the monitor and fixedly installed on the side wall of the monitor.

[0012] Preferably, the monitor is fixedly equipped with an infrared imaging auxiliary device and an auxiliary radar.

[0013] Preferably, the wing adjustment structure includes a fourth motor, which is fixedly mounted on the main frame. A driving bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the drive end of the fourth motor, and a driven bevel gear is fixedly mounted on the lower wall of the rotor. The driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear are meshed together.

[0014] Preferably, a support frame is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the main frame, a support base is fixedly installed on the lower wall of the support frame, and a wireless charging coil is installed inside the support base.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This invention provides a smart agriculture monitoring drone device. Through the linkage of the lifting frame and fixed pipe within the main frame, the monitoring device can be vertically adjusted, significantly increasing its height and expanding its field of view. Compared to traditional fixed-angle drones, it is more suitable for monitoring large areas of farmland. By installing a pitch mount and turntable, the monitoring device can support multi-dimensional rotation, achieving all-round, multi-angle monitoring to meet the needs of complex environments. Infrared-assisted imaging enables precise monitoring of farmland and vegetation in low light or at night, locating features such as pests, diseases, and livestock activities. The auxiliary radar enhances the perception of weather conditions and obstacles, suitable for real-time environmental monitoring and complex terrain. The use of a fourth motor to drive the active and driven bevel gears allows for flexible adjustment of the rotor structure's angle relative to the main frame and lock-on shooting, giving the drone greater flight attitude flexibility. This improves flight stability in complex environments such as strong winds and steep farmland, ensuring the completion of monitoring tasks. Attached Figure Description
