[0002] Reservoir dam safety monitoring serves as the eyes and ears of dam safety management. Inspection is a fundamental aspect of dam safety monitoring and the most important and direct way to assess the dam's safety status. Traditional inspections rely primarily on manual labor, which is inefficient, has a limited scope, and struggles to detect problems promptly. With the continuous development of drone technology, intelligent drone-based airport inspections can quickly and accurately complete inspection tasks in complex environments, significantly improving efficiency and safety. This is also a crucial aspect of promoting integrated "sky-ground-hydraulic engineering" monitoring and perception.

[0003] The selection of a drone airport platform generally needs to consider a variety of factors such as hazard sources, electromagnetic interference, signal obstruction, noise, human damage, and theft. Reservoir management areas usually choose flat office building rooftops, but office building rooftops may have problems such as unevenness, insufficient roof load-bearing capacity, and high construction risks, making it difficult to find a suitable drone airport platform in reservoir management areas. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a pillar-type intelligent reservoir inspection drone airport platform that also incorporates lighting. By constructing the airport platform using pillars, the problem of difficult site selection for intelligent reservoir inspection drone airports is solved. By installing lighting lamps and light strips, street lighting can be combined with street lighting, and the light strips can also illuminate the area above the airport platform, facilitating nighttime inspection and management of drones and extending inspection time.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a column-type intelligent inspection drone airport platform for reservoirs that also features lighting. The platform includes a foundation, a column on the foundation, an airport platform on top of the column, a support on the upper surface of the airport platform for parking the drone, a lighting fixture on the lower surface of the airport platform, and a light strip along the side edge of the airport platform.

[0030] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] This utility model adopts a novel column-type intelligent inspection drone airport platform for reservoirs. It has many selectable locations in the reservoir area with few restrictions. It can be deployed in conjunction with reservoir lighting, streetlights, and other locations, or it can be deployed in office areas for easy maintenance.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a column-type intelligent inspection drone airport platform for reservoirs that also features lighting. It includes a foundation 1, a column 2 mounted on the foundation 1, an airport platform 4 mounted on top of the column 2, a support 8 on the upper surface of the airport platform 4 for parking the drone, a lighting lamp 3 on the lower surface of the airport platform 4, and a light strip 6 along the side edge of the airport platform 4. A wiring channel is provided inside the column 2, and the lighting lamp 3 and light strip 6 are connected to a power source via connecting wires in the wiring channel. The foundation 1 is a reinforced concrete structure with dimensions of 800mm*800mm*1000mm, using C30 grade concrete, buried underground, and bearing the load of the superstructure. The column 2 is made of octagonal stainless steel pipe with a diagonal diameter of 240mm, a wall thickness of 6mm, and a height of 3m. An inspection hole is provided at the bottom of the column 2.

[0033] This utility model solves the problem of difficult site selection for reservoir intelligent inspection drone airports by constructing an airport platform 4 through a column 2. By setting up lighting lamps 3 and light strips 6, street lighting can be taken into account, and light strips 6 can also illuminate the area above the airport platform 4, which facilitates the nighttime inspection and management of drones and extends the inspection time.

[0034] In some embodiments, the airport platform 4 is shaped like an airplane. The airport platform 4 has a total length of 2800mm, a width of 1775mm, and a platform thickness of 100mm. It is made of metal, with a welded metal structural keel inside. The platform is covered with 1.4mm stainless steel plates, polished, and painted.

[0035] The airport platform 4 of this utility model is shaped like an airplane, with a novel and unique design and exquisite appearance. The light strip 6 can further enhance its nighttime display effect, which is conducive to improving the landscape effect of the reservoir.

[0036] In some embodiments, the light strip 6 is arranged close to the upper surface of the airport platform 4, which can improve the lighting effect of the light strip 6 on the airport platform 4 and facilitate the landing of the drone at night.

[0037] In some embodiments, a lightning rod 9 is installed on the airport platform 4. The airport platform 4 has a hollow structure, and a wire is installed in the wiring channel. One end of the wire is connected to the lightning rod 9, and the other end of the wire is connected to the foundation 1. The lightning rod 9 is made of φ18mm hot-dip galvanized round steel, is 1.5m long, and is insulated from the airport platform 4.

[0038] Lightning is frequent in the reservoir area. By installing lightning rod 9, the probability of lightning damage to drones and other equipment is greatly reduced, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. Lightning rod 9 is fixed to the airport platform 4 with insulating bolts, and an insulating pad is added between it and the airport platform 4.

[0039] In some embodiments, reinforcing bars are pre-embedded in the foundation 1, with one end of the reinforcing bars extending out of the foundation 1, and the bottom end of the column 2 is connected to the reinforcing bars. A flange is installed on the ground of the column 2, and one end of the reinforcing bar passes through the flange and is secured with bolts 7, thereby fixing the column 2 to the foundation 1. The bolts 7 are M18 bolts, and there are four in total.

[0040] In some embodiments, a grounding flat iron 10 is connected to the bottom of the reinforcing bar, and the grounding flat iron 10 and the reinforcing bar are wrapped with a copper layer.

[0041] This utility model fully considers lightning protection grounding measures, guiding lightning into the ground through lightning rod 9, conductor, steel bar, and grounding flat iron 10. The grounding flat iron 10 and steel bar are both made of copper-clad steel. The conductivity of copper-clad steel is close to that of pure copper. Especially under the action of high-frequency current (such as lightning current), the current mainly flows on the surface of the copper layer, which can quickly guide the current into the ground. In addition, the copper layer provides effective protection for the steel core, preventing oxidation and corrosion, and can be used stably for a long time even in harsh environments such as humid and saline-alkali environments.

[0042] In some embodiments, the length of the grounding flat iron 10 is 1.5m, that is, it extends downwards for about 1.5m from the bottom of the foundation 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple branches are installed on the column 2, and the branches are connected to the bottom of the airport platform 4. Two branches or three branches are arranged symmetrically. When three branches are arranged, the three branches are evenly distributed around the column. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the case with two branches. Adding multiple branches helps improve the stability of airport platform 4.

[0044] In some embodiments, an automatic barrier 5 is installed on the upper surface of the airport platform 4, surrounding the support 8. The automatic barrier 5 includes multiple telescopic columns and a connecting rod connecting the tops of the multiple telescopic columns. The distance between two adjacent telescopic columns is 10-15 cm. The telescopic columns can be electrically driven and include a motor, a threaded rod, and a threaded sleeve. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod, and the threaded sleeve is threaded onto the outside of the threaded rod. The connecting rod is welded to the top of the threaded sleeve. As the motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, the threaded sleeve automatically rises and falls under the action of the thread, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the automatic barrier 5. The automatic barrier 5 can be associated with the operation of the UAV airport to realize automatic raising or lowering. During UAV operation, the barrier is lowered to a height of 0.4 meters to facilitate safe take-off and landing of the UAV; during non-operation, the barrier is raised to a height of 0.8 meters to serve as an anti-theft and protection measure for the equipment. Automatic barriers 5 are installed on three sides of the support frame 8. Both automatic barriers 5 and support frame 8 are made of stainless steel. The maximum height of automatic barriers 5 is 800mm, serving to protect the drone airport and prevent theft. Support frame 8 measures 600mm*600mm*200mm and is welded from 304 stainless steel square tubing, facilitating drone identification of takeoff and landing points. Automatic barriers 5 and support frame 8 are fixed to the airport platform 4 by welding or bolting.

[0045] According to the design drawings, the processing and fabrication of Airport Platform 4 can be carried out simultaneously. Airport Platform 4 can be selected in different aircraft shapes, or other shapes can be customized according to the requirements of the reservoir management unit, aiming to highlight the characteristics of the reservoir and coordinate with the surrounding environment. When processing Airport Platform 4, cable conduits should be reserved and the location of lighting fixtures 3 should be considered.

[0046] Based on the weight and installation location of the airport platform 4 and its facilities such as automatic barriers 5, light strips 6, brackets 8, lightning rods 9, and drones, the center of gravity of the entire airport platform 4 should be aligned with the center of the column 2 during installation.

[0047] Cables for facilities such as drones and lighting are laid through column 2.

[0048] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be included within the protection scope of this application.
