Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) accessories, and in particular to an optoelectronic pod. Background Technology

[0002] An optoelectronic pod is a special type of equipment that integrates optoelectronic detection devices. It plays an important role in various fields such as aerospace, military reconnaissance, and civilian monitoring. The optoelectronic pod is mounted on a moving vehicle. The rolling and vibration of the vehicle can affect the jitter of the optoelectronic sensor's line of sight, resulting in blurred images and inaccurate positioning. Therefore, line-of-sight stabilization technology is the most basic and critical technology for optoelectronic pods. It ensures that the optoelectronic pod can maintain the stability of the line of sight under various motion conditions, thereby acquiring clear images and data.

[0003] A search of existing technologies revealed a novel optoelectronic pod, with publication number CN218986954U. This device achieves height adjustment of the pod body through the setting of a lifting mechanism, thereby enabling the optoelectronic pod to rise and fall freely. However, during takeoff, this device causes debris and impurities to fly around the drone, which can easily jam the gaps in the pod, affecting the rotation of the pod after takeoff and resulting in poor shooting effects.

[0004] Therefore, an optoelectronic pod is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optoelectronic pod to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby improving the problem that when the drone is taken off, debris and impurities around it fly up and can easily get stuck in the pod's gaps, affecting the pod's rotation after takeoff and resulting in poor pod shooting effect.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a photoelectric pod, comprising: a rotating base, the lower end of which is connected to a connecting frame, and connecting arms fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting frame; a shooting mechanism, which is disposed below the connecting frame and connected between the two connecting arms; wherein, the shooting mechanism includes a cleaning component installed between the two connecting arms, a cleaning component is disposed above the cleaning component, a camera is mounted on the surface of the cleaning component, and the lower part of the cleaning component is in contact with the surface of the cleaning component.

[0007] Preferably, the impurity removal assembly includes two connecting shells fixedly connected to opposite sides of the connecting arm, with a rotating chamber rotatably connected between the two connecting shells. Rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating chamber, and the rotating shafts rotatably connect to the interior of adjacent connecting shells. Multiple annular brushes are provided on the edges of both the rotating chamber and the adjacent connecting shell. The annular brushes seal the gap between the rotating chamber and the connecting shell.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning component includes a rubber block fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame. The surface of the rubber block near the rotating chamber has an internal groove, and a cleaning cotton is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal groove. The surface of the cleaning cotton near the rotating chamber has multiple horizontal grooves. The rubber block, in conjunction with the cleaning cotton, provides an auxiliary cleaning effect on the camera after the gondola is lifted into the air.

[0009] Preferably, airbags are embedded in the opposite sides of the connecting shell, and multiple rubber arc sheets are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two airbags. The rubber arc sheets are arc-shaped. The airbags resist the entry of impurities, reducing the retention of impurities in the gap and assisting in their discharge to the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning assembly further includes two mounting arc plates, each with two spring clips fixedly connected to its surface, the lower ends of which extend to the surface of the rubber block. The mounting arc plates and spring clips can apply pressure to the rubber block, ensuring a tight fit between the cleaning cotton and the camera surface.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of transverse grooves are evenly distributed in an arc shape along the inner side of the cleaning cotton, and the inner side of the cleaning cotton is in contact with the surface of the rotating chamber.

[0012] Preferably, the plurality of annular brushes are evenly distributed in a ring, with adjacent annular brushes staggered. This seals off external impurities from entering the gap between the rotating chamber and the connecting shell.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The aforementioned photoelectric pod, with the help of the impurity removal components, ensures smooth rotation of the rotating chamber and guarantees a good shooting angle for the camera. The device uses a ring brush with multiple bristles that radiate outwards, working in conjunction with an airbag to resist incoming impurities, reducing their retention in the gaps and assisting in their discharge to the outside. Furthermore, the rubber arc sheet makes it easier to move incoming impurities, ensuring the stability of the rotating chamber carrying the camera and guaranteeing the pod's shooting effect.

[0015] 2. By setting up a cleaning component, the camera lens can be cleaned after takeoff. After the pod takes off, the device moves the camera towards the cleaning cotton by rotating the rotating chamber. The opening of the horizontal groove improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning cotton. The installation of the arc plate and spring sheet applies pressure to the rubber block, and the cleaning cotton adheres tightly to the surface of the camera, improving the cleaning effect of the camera and ensuring the shooting effect of the pod.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1-4 As shown, an optoelectronic pod includes: a rotating base 1, with a connecting frame 2 connected to the lower end of the rotating base 1, and connecting arms 21 fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting frame 2; and a shooting mechanism 3, which is disposed below the connecting frame 2 and connected between the two connecting arms 21. The shooting mechanism 3 includes a cleaning component 31 installed between the two connecting arms 21, a cleaning component 32 disposed above the cleaning component 31, a camera 33 mounted on the surface of the cleaning component 31, and the lower part of the cleaning component 32 contacting the surface of the cleaning component 31.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the impurity removal component 31 includes two connecting shells 313 that are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the connecting arm 21. A rotating chamber 311 is rotatably connected between the two connecting shells 313. A rotating shaft 312 is fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating chamber 311. The rotating shaft 312 is rotatably connected to the interior of the adjacent connecting shell 313. Multiple annular brushes 315 are provided on the edges of the rotating chamber 311 and the adjacent connecting shell 313. Airbags 316 are embedded and installed on opposite sides of the connecting shells 313. Multiple rubber arc plates 314 are fixedly connected to the surface of the two airbags 316. The rubber arc plates 314 are arc-shaped. The multiple annular brushes 315 are evenly distributed in a ring, and adjacent annular brushes 315 are staggered.

[0024] When the device is in use, the annular brush 315 seals the gap between the rotating chamber 311 and the connecting shell 313, preventing impurities from entering the gap when the drone takes off. Since the annular brush 315 is made of multiple bristles that radiate from the rotating shaft 312 to the edge of the gap, impurities that enter the gap are brushed out by the bristles. At the same time, the airbag 316 resists the entry of impurities, reducing the retention of impurities in the gap and assisting in their discharge. Furthermore, the rubber arc plate 314 makes it easier for the entry of impurities to be dislodged, assisting in their discharge to the outside. This reduces the possibility of the gondola getting stuck with gravel and impurities after takeoff, ensuring the normal operation of the gondola.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning component 32 includes a rubber block 321 fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 2. The surface of the rubber block 321 near the rotating chamber 311 has an internal groove 322. A cleaning cotton 323 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the internal groove 322. The surface of the cleaning cotton 323 near the rotating chamber 311 has multiple horizontal grooves 324. The cleaning component 32 also includes two mounting arc plates 325. Two spring pieces 326 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting arc plates 325. The lower ends of the spring pieces 326 extend to the surface of the rubber block 321. The multiple horizontal grooves 324 are evenly distributed in an arc shape along the inner side of the cleaning cotton 323. The inner side of the cleaning cotton 323 is in contact with the surface of the rotating chamber 311.

[0026] When in use, the device uses a rubber block 321 in conjunction with a cleaning cotton 323 to provide auxiliary cleaning for the camera 33 after the pod takes off. During takeoff, dust and impurities may obscure the camera 33, affecting its cleaning performance. The device can rotate the rotating chamber 311 to move the camera 33 towards the cleaning cotton 323, allowing the cleaning cotton 323 to provide auxiliary cleaning for the camera 33 after takeoff. The horizontal groove 324 further enhances the cleaning effect of the cleaning cotton 323. At the same time, the installation of the arc plate 325 and the spring piece 326 can apply pressure to the rubber block 321, making the cleaning cotton 323 adhere tightly to the surface of the camera 33, thus improving the cleaning effect on the camera 33.

[0027] In use, the multi-strand bristles of the drone takeoff ring brush 315 radiate outwards, working in conjunction with the airbag 316 to resist incoming impurities, reducing their retention within the gap and aiding in their expulsion. Furthermore, the rubber arc plate 314 makes it easier to move incoming impurities, reducing the amount of debris entering the gap between the rotating chamber 311 and the connecting shell 313. After the gondola takes off, the rubber block 321, in conjunction with the cleaning cotton 323, rotates the rotating chamber 311, causing the camera 33 to move towards the cleaning cotton 323. The opening of the transverse groove 324 improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning cotton 323. The mounting arc plate 325 and spring plate 326 apply pressure to the rubber block 321, causing the cleaning cotton 323 to adhere tightly to the surface of the camera 33, further enhancing the cleaning effect on the camera 33.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
