Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soil and water loss monitoring technology, specifically a low-altitude remote sensing soil and water loss monitoring device based on the combination of 3S technology and UAV. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, soil erosion poses a serious threat to the ecological environment, agricultural production, and economic development. Accurate and timely monitoring of soil erosion is crucial for formulating effective prevention and control measures and protecting ecological balance. Traditional methods of soil erosion monitoring, such as ground surveys and manual measurements, not only consume significant amounts of manpower, resources, and time, but also have limited monitoring coverage and low efficiency, making them unsuitable for meeting the needs of real-time, dynamic monitoring of large areas.

[0003] With the rapid development of science and technology, UAV remote sensing technology has emerged and been widely applied in various fields. Utilizing advanced unmanned aerial vehicle technology, remote sensing sensor technology, telemetry and remote control technology, communication technology, GPS differential positioning technology, and remote sensing application technology, UAV remote sensing can achieve automated, intelligent, and specialized rapid acquisition of spatial remote sensing information on land resources, natural environment, earthquake-stricken areas, etc., and can complete remote sensing data processing, modeling, and application analysis. This technology has brought new opportunities for soil erosion monitoring, as it can quickly acquire large-area, high-resolution images, overcoming many drawbacks of traditional monitoring methods.

[0004] A search revealed a remote sensing monitoring device based on a drone (UAV) with publication number CN 217533236 U. The device includes a drone body, a rotating base, and a propeller. A receiver is mounted on the bottom of the drone body, and two support frames are mounted on the bottom of the drone body via a fixing block. Ventilation holes are provided on the top of the sides of the support frames. A piston is fitted inside the support frame, and a support rod is connected to the bottom of the piston. This invention uses support frames to prevent direct collisions between the drone body or receiver and a flat surface during recovery, thereby further reducing the probability of damage. The restoring force of the first spring helps to mitigate impacts, and the combination of the support frames, ventilation holes, piston, and support rod further enhances the impact mitigation effect, significantly improving the overall impact reduction capability.

[0005] However, the aforementioned devices still have some shortcomings in use. They do not adequately consider the protection of key equipment (such as monitoring cameras) during monitoring. In complex field environments, monitoring cameras are easily affected by factors such as wind, sand, and rain. These pollutants can obstruct the view, severely impacting the camera's shooting performance and leading to a decline in image quality, thus affecting the accuracy of soil erosion monitoring. Furthermore, the existing monitoring devices are not convenient enough for installing and removing monitoring cameras. When a camera malfunctions or needs to be replaced with one of different parameters to meet different monitoring needs, the operation is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, hindering efficient monitoring work. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a low-altitude remote sensing soil erosion monitoring device based on 3S technology and a drone. It solves the problem of insufficient consideration for the protection of key equipment (such as monitoring cameras) during the monitoring process. In complex field environments, monitoring cameras are easily affected by factors such as wind, sand, and rain. These pollutants can obstruct the view, severely affecting the camera's shooting effect, leading to a decline in image quality, and consequently impacting the accuracy of soil erosion monitoring. Furthermore, existing monitoring devices are not convenient enough in terms of camera installation and removal. When a camera malfunctions or needs to be replaced with a camera with different parameters to meet different monitoring needs, the operation is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, hindering efficient monitoring work.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a low-altitude remote sensing soil erosion monitoring device based on 3S technology and drones, comprising a drone body, a monitoring camera, and a transparent protective cover. The lower surface of the drone body is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, the base of the monitoring camera is fixedly connected to a mounting block, and the lower surface of the mounting plate is provided with a mounting groove that matches the mounting block.

[0008] The lower surface of the mounting plate has a groove, and the inner wall of the groove has an internal thread. The upper surface of the transparent protective cover is fixedly connected to a connecting ring, and the outer surface of the connecting ring has an external thread that matches the internal thread. The transparent protective cover can be threaded onto the lower surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is equipped with a cleaning component.

[0009] Preferred technical solution 1: The cleaning component includes two rotating blocks rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting plate, a brush ring is fixedly connected between the two rotating blocks, a sponge pad is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the brush ring, and the sponge pad is in contact with the surface of the transparent protective cover.

[0010] Preferred technical solution 2: The mounting plate has two slots inside, and a drive motor is fixedly installed inside each of the two slots. The output end of each drive motor extends to the outside of the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the two rotating blocks respectively.

[0011] Preferred technical solution 3: Both ends of the mounting block are provided with through grooves, and the inner side walls of the two through grooves are provided with sliding grooves. A slider is slidably sleeved inside each sliding groove. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the two corresponding sliders. Multiple locking rods are fixedly connected to the surface of the two connecting plates. Multiple locking grooves matching the locking rods are provided on the inner side walls of the mounting groove. Springs are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates and the inner walls of the two through grooves.

[0012] Preferred technical solution four: A lever is fixedly connected to the lower surface of both connecting plates, and a magnet is fixedly connected between the inner side walls of both through slots, wherein the lever is made of iron.

[0013] Preferred technical solution five: Four pillars are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the unmanned aircraft body, and rubber pads are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the four pillars.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a low-altitude remote sensing soil erosion monitoring device based on 3S technology and drones, which has the following beneficial effects: the drone body drives the monitoring camera to fly, thereby monitoring the soil erosion situation. At the same time, the monitoring camera is protected by a transparent protective cover to avoid damage. When the transparent protective cover is contaminated with water mist or dust, the drive motor is controlled to slowly rotate forward and reverse, thereby driving the rotating block and brush ring to rotate, so that the brush ring cleans the surface of the transparent protective cover, ensuring the cleanliness of the transparent protective cover and ensuring the monitoring effect.

[0015] When it is necessary to disassemble, repair or replace the monitoring camera, first rotate the brush ring to one side of the mounting plate, then rotate the transparent protective cover to separate it from the mounting plate, and then push the two levers inward to move the two connecting plates, thereby causing the locking rod to disengage from the slot, thus releasing the lock between the mounting block and the mounting plate. The monitoring camera can then be quickly disassembled for replacement or repair, which is convenient and fast.

[0016] When in use, this device can effectively monitor soil erosion through monitoring cameras, while also effectively protecting the monitoring cameras from damage. The cleaning component can remove dust, water mist, and other contaminants from the protective cover, ensuring monitoring effectiveness. In addition, the monitoring cameras can be quickly installed and removed, facilitating replacement or maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 ,

[0023] Example 1: A low-altitude remote sensing soil erosion monitoring device based on 3S technology and drones, comprising: drone body 1, monitoring camera 2, transparent protective cover 3, mounting plate 4 fixedly connected to the lower surface of drone body 1, mounting block 5 fixedly connected to the base of monitoring camera 2, and mounting groove 6 matching mounting block 5 on the lower surface of mounting plate 4.

[0024] A groove 7 is formed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 4. The inner wall of the groove 7 is provided with internal threads. A connecting ring 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the transparent protective cover 3. The outer surface of the connecting ring 8 is provided with external threads that match the internal threads. The transparent protective cover 3 can be threaded onto the lower surface of the mounting plate 4. A cleaning component is provided on the mounting plate 4.

[0025] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the cleaning component includes two rotating blocks 9 rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 4. A brush ring 10 is fixedly connected between the two rotating blocks 9. A sponge pad is fixedly fitted on the surface of the brush ring 10. The sponge pad is in contact with the surface of the transparent protective cover 3. The brush ring 10 and the sponge pad can clean the dust and water mist adhering to the transparent protective cover 3.

[0026] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mounting plate 4 has two empty slots 11 inside, and a drive motor 12 is fixedly installed inside each of the two empty slots 11. The output end of the drive motor 12 extends to the outside of the mounting plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the two rotating blocks 9 respectively. The drive motor 12 can automatically drive the brush ring 10 to clean the transparent protective cover 3.

[0027] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that, in this example, both ends of the mounting block 5 are provided with through grooves 13, and the inner side walls of the two through grooves 13 are provided with sliding grooves 14. Each sliding groove 14 is slidably fitted with a slider 15, and a connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected between the two corresponding sliders 15. Multiple locking rods 17 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two connecting plates 16. Multiple locking grooves 18 that match the locking rods 17 are provided on the inner side walls of the mounting groove 6. Springs 22 are fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 16 and the inner walls of the two through grooves 13, which facilitates the quick installation of the monitoring camera 2 on the mounting plate 4 and makes it easy to install and remove quickly.

[0028] Example 5: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the lower surfaces of the two connecting plates 16 are fixedly connected with a lever 19, and the inner side walls of the two through slots 13 are fixedly connected with a magnet 20. The lever 19 is made of iron to prevent the locking rod 17 from disengaging from the slot 18 due to vibration, thus making the structure more stable.

[0029] Example 6: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that four pillars 21 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drone body 1, and rubber pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the four pillars 21 to facilitate the take-off and landing of the drone body 1.

[0030] In summary, this low-altitude remote sensing soil erosion monitoring device, which combines 3S technology with drones, uses the drone body 1 to drive the monitoring camera 2 to monitor soil erosion. At the same time, a transparent protective cover 3 protects the monitoring camera 2 from damage. When the transparent protective cover 3 gets wet with water mist or dust, the drive motor 12 is controlled to slowly rotate forward and backward, which drives the rotating block 9 and the brush ring 10 to rotate, so that the brush ring 10 cleans the surface of the transparent protective cover 3, ensuring that the transparent protective cover 3 is clean and tidy, thus ensuring the monitoring effect.

[0031] When it is necessary to disassemble, repair or replace the monitoring camera 2, first rotate the brush ring 10 to one side of the mounting plate 4, then rotate the transparent protective cover 3 to separate it from the mounting plate 4, and then push the two levers 19 inward to move the two connecting plates 16, thereby causing the locking rod 17 to disengage from the slot 18, thereby releasing the lock between the mounting block 5 and the mounting plate 4, so that the monitoring camera 2 can be quickly disassembled for replacement or repair, which is convenient and fast.

[0032] When in use, this device can effectively monitor soil erosion through the monitoring camera 2, while also effectively protecting the monitoring camera 2 from damage. The cleaning component can remove dust, water mist, etc. from the protective cover to ensure the monitoring effect. At the same time, the monitoring camera 2 can be quickly installed and removed, making it easy to replace or repair it.
