Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of safety monitoring technology, specifically, it relates to a shared device for monitoring with a total station of unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the safety and stability of high slope projects, settlement and displacement monitoring is necessary during high slope construction. The deformation of the high slope is analyzed through settlement and displacement monitoring.
[0003] Total stations are generally used for monitoring settlement and displacement of high slopes. During operation, settlement and displacement monitoring points are set up outside the toe of the high slope, and the settlement and displacement are obtained by collecting data from the monitoring points through the total station.
[0004] Currently, to test whether UAV monitoring of high slope deformation accuracy can replace traditional total station deformation monitoring and improve monitoring quality, a comparative analysis of data from both UAV and total station monitoring points is being conducted. This requires the separate deployment of total station and UAV monitoring points, resulting in repetitive construction, increased labor intensity, extended monitoring cycles, and low monitoring efficiency. In particular, for large-scale monitoring of high slope settlement and displacement, such as on highways, it is necessary to deploy total station and UAV monitoring points separately at different monitoring points, leading to extensive repetitive construction and significant inconvenience. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a shared monitoring device for UAVs and total stations. This device is simple in structure and easy to use, eliminating the need for repeated point deployment when UAVs and total stations are monitoring the same location, thus improving monitoring efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model discloses a shared monitoring device for a total station of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including a pole with a detachable mounting base. The mounting base has a prism mounting hole, in which a prism is installed. An image control point marker is detachably mounted on the mounting base. The optical center of the prism, the center of the image control point marker, and the center of the mounting base are collinear.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting base is threadedly connected to the insertion rod, and the image control point marker is threadedly connected to the mounting base.
[0009] Furthermore, the image control point marker includes a mounting plate on which multiple image control point marker plates are evenly arranged.
[0010] Furthermore, the four control point marker plates are evenly arranged around the perimeter of the mounting plate to form a cross-shaped control point marker component.
[0011] Furthermore, the image control point marking plate is hinged to the periphery of the mounting plate, with one hinge piece installed on the top periphery of the mounting plate and the other hinge piece installed on the top periphery of the image control point marking plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This application discloses a shared monitoring device for UAV total station, used for monitoring settlement and displacement of high slopes. A mounting base is installed on a pole, and the mounting base has a prism mounting hole. An image control point marker is installed on the mounting base. The pole is vertically and securely inserted into the monitoring point, and the prism is placed in the prism mounting hole. The total station obtains the three-dimensional coordinates of the monitoring point through the prism's reflected signal. The UAV extracts the center coordinates of the image control point marker by capturing images of the marker using its onboard optical camera. The device is simple in structure and easy to use. By connecting the prism and image control point marker to the pole via the mounting base, data from the same monitoring point can be acquired simultaneously by the total station and the UAV. Using this shared monitoring device, a single deployment can meet the data acquisition and monitoring needs of both the UAV and the total station at the same monitoring point. When monitoring the same point, the UAV and the total station do not need to be repeatedly deployed, avoiding redundant construction, improving monitoring efficiency, and reducing labor intensity. It is particularly suitable for monitoring large-scale high slopes. After monitoring, the prism and image control point marker can be removed and reused for the next monitoring, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a shared monitoring device for a total station of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including a pole 1. A mounting base 3 is detachably mounted on the pole 1. The mounting base 3 has a prism mounting hole, and a prism 4 is installed within the prism mounting hole. An image control point marker is detachably mounted on the mounting base 3. The optical center of the prism 4, the center of the image control point marker, and the center of the mounting base 3 are collinear. The pole 1 may be made of stainless steel, and its lower end may have a tapered structure for easy insertion into high slope settlement and displacement monitoring points. The term "detachable" refers to the ability to be disassembled and installed.
[0022] A shared UAV total station monitoring device based on the above structure is used for monitoring settlement and displacement of high slopes. A mounting base 3 is installed on a pole 1, and the mounting base 3 has a prism mounting hole. An image control point marker is installed on the mounting base. The pole 1 is vertically and securely inserted into the monitoring point, and the prism 4 is placed in the prism mounting hole. The total station obtains the three-dimensional coordinates of the monitoring point through the reflected signal from the prism 4. The UAV extracts the center coordinates of the image control point marker by capturing images of the marker using its onboard optical camera. The device has a simple structure and is easy to use. By connecting the prism 4 and the image control point marker to the pole 1 through the mounting base 3, data from the same monitoring point can be acquired simultaneously by the total station and the UAV. Using this shared UAV total station monitoring device, a single deployment can meet the data acquisition and monitoring needs of both the UAV and the total station at the same monitoring point. When monitoring the same monitoring point, the UAV and the total station do not need to be repeatedly deployed, avoiding redundant construction, improving monitoring efficiency, and reducing labor intensity. It is particularly suitable for monitoring large-scale high slopes. For example, when monitoring high slopes along highways, 11 monitoring points need to be set up. Traditional methods require setting up 11 total station monitoring points and 11 UAV monitoring points separately. However, using this UAV-total station shared monitoring device, only 11 shared monitoring points need to be set up, halving the total working time and greatly improving monitoring efficiency. After monitoring, prism 4 and the image control point markers can be removed and reused for the next monitoring, reducing costs and increasing efficiency. The collaborative operation of UAV and total station retains the high-precision advantages of traditional total station monitoring while expanding the monitoring dimensions, coverage, and adaptability to complex environments through UAV, forming a more comprehensive and efficient monitoring system and improving monitoring quality. Prism 4 mates with the prism mounting hole. The mounting base 3 has a set screw hole that connects to the prism mounting hole. The set screw hole is internally threaded with a set screw. Prism 4 is fitted into the prism mounting hole. Tightening the set screw secures prism 4 in the prism mounting hole. After monitoring is completed, loosening the set screw removes the prism.
[0023] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 3 is threadedly connected to the insertion rod 1, and the image control point marker is threadedly connected to the mounting base 3.
[0024] The upper and lower ends of the mounting base 3 are welded or glued with screws. The upper end of the insertion rod 1 and the lower end of the image control point marker are drilled with screw holes that mate with the corresponding screws. The screw at the upper end of the mounting base 3 is threaded into the screw hole of the image control point marker, and the screw at the lower end of the mounting base 3 is threaded into the screw hole at the upper end of the insertion rod 1. The threaded connection facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0025] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the image control point marker includes a mounting plate 6, on which multiple image control point marker plates 5 are evenly arranged.
[0026] Mounting plate 6 has drilled threaded holes to mate with the screw rod, and the screw rod at the upper end of mounting base 3 is threaded into the threaded holes of mounting plate 6. Control point marking plate 5 is integrally formed with mounting plate 6 or hinged for installation.
[0027] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the four control point marker plates 5 are evenly arranged around the periphery of the mounting plate 6 to form a cross-shaped control point marker.
[0028] Mounting plate 6 is a square plate, and four image control point marker plates 5 are respectively set on the four sides of the square plate as the reference for drone image matching, which facilitates drone identification.
[0029] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the image control point marking plate 5 is hinged to the periphery of the mounting plate 6 using a hinge 7. One hinge piece of the hinge 7 is installed on the periphery of the top surface of the mounting plate 6, and the other hinge piece of the hinge 7 is installed on the periphery of the top surface of the image control point marking plate 5.
[0030] The hinge 7 is fixed to the top screws of the control point marking plate 5 and the mounting plate 6. When not in use, the control point marking plate 5 is folded up (away from the insertion rod 1) for easy carrying.
[0031] As one possible implementation, the image control point marking plate 5 is hinged to the periphery of the mounting plate 6 using a 90° folding self-locking hinge. One hinge seat of the 90° folding self-locking hinge is installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 6, and the other hinge seat of the 90° folding self-locking hinge is installed on the bottom wall of the image control point marking plate 5. When not in use, the image control point marking plate 5 is folded down (towards the insertion rod 1) for easy carrying.
[0032] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
