[0035] 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.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a dual-camera structure for a traffic inspection drone, comprising: a body 1; a mounting block 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the body 1; dual-camera bodies 5 installed inside the mounting block 4; a mounting cavity 6 located on the left side inside the mounting block 4; a crossbar 7 and a slider 8, the crossbar 7 fixedly connected inside the mounting cavity 6, and the slider 8 slidably connected to the outside of the crossbar 7; a connecting block 9 and a pull rod 11, the connecting block 9 fixedly connected to the top of the slider 8, and the pull rod 11 fixedly connected to the left side outside the connecting block 9; and a spring 10 sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 11. The device includes a plug 12, which is fixedly connected to the outer right side of the slider 8; and a protective component, which is used to protect the dual camera body 5. The mounting block 4 has a through hole 13 on its outer left side, and the pull rod 11 is slidably connected inside the through hole 13. The through hole 13 facilitates the movement of the pull rod 11. The upper part of the dual camera body 5 has a slot 24, and the plug 12 is inserted into the slot 24. Rotors 3 are installed on all four sides of the outer side of the body 1. The rotors 3 facilitate the take-off, hovering and vertical landing of the drone. Buffer frames 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower part of the body 1. The buffer frames 2 can buffer the force generated when the drone lands.
[0037] Specifically, when it is necessary to disassemble the dual-camera body 5, firstly, pull the handle to move the pull rod 11 horizontally. The movement of the pull rod 11 will cause the connecting block 9 fixed on it to move as well. The movement of the connecting block 9 will simultaneously cause the slider 8 fixed at the bottom to move outside the crossbar 7. As the slider 8 moves, the plug 12 fixedly connected to its right side will also move synchronously. During this process, because the pull rod 11 exerts a compressive force on the externally sleeved spring 10 when it moves, the spring 10 will undergo elastic deformation under force, generating a certain reaction force. When the plug 12 is completely disengaged from the internal position of the slot 24 on the mounting block 4, The dual camera body 5 can be easily removed from the mounting block 4, facilitating subsequent maintenance or replacement. This process avoids the complex operation of disassembling the entire device to replace the camera, which is required in the traditional method. When reinstalling the dual camera body 5, simply align its top and insert it into the mounting block 4. Then, release the pull rod 11. Under the rebound force of the spring 10, the insertion block 12 will automatically return to its original position and insert into the slot 24 inside the mounting block 4, completing the positioning and fixing. The entire installation and disassembly process is simple and quick, without the need for complex tools or disassembling other parts, saving manpower and time costs, while ensuring the efficiency of equipment inspection.
[0038] Reference Figures 4-7The protective components include a protective cover 14, which is made of acrylic sheet. Acrylic material has high transparency, which can ensure that the camera image is clear and undistorted and does not fog during shooting, meeting the requirements of high-definition imaging. A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer left side of the protective cover 14. A protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the connecting block 15. A bolt 17 is threadedly connected to the top of the protrusion 16. An insertion hole 18 is opened on the outer left side of the body 1. The protrusion 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 18, which serves as the initial fixation of the protective cover 14. An installation hole 19 is opened on the outer left side of the body 1. The bolt 17 is threadedly connected to the installation hole 19, which facilitates the fixation of the protective cover 14.
[0039] Specifically, when protecting the dual-camera body 5, firstly, the protective cover 14 should be accurately placed on the front side of the dual-camera body 5 to completely cover the front area of the camera. Then, the connecting block 15 fixed on the outside of the protective cover 14 should be attached to the bottom of the body 1. Next, the protrusion 16 fixed on the top left side of the connecting block 15 should be aligned with the pre-set insertion hole 18 on the left side of the body 1 and inserted into the insertion hole 18 to form a preliminary positioning. After completing the above insertion steps, the bolt 17 should be screwed into the mounting hole 19 on the left side of the body 1 and tightened with a tool to finally fix the protective cover 14. By installing the protective cover 14, the direct impact of external debris on the camera body can be effectively isolated at the physical level, thereby reducing the probability of damage, scratches or malfunctions caused by external forces and extending its service life.
[0040] Reference Figures 2-5 The upper part of the body 1 has two fixing blocks 21 installed on both sides. Both fixing blocks 21 are equipped with warning lights 20. By setting the warning lights 20, the top warning lights 20 can clearly indicate the "operation" status of the drone performing traffic inspection tasks, preventing misunderstandings or interference. Both sides of the upper part of the body 1 are threaded with bolts 23. Both sides of the upper part of the body 1 have slots 25. The two fixing blocks 21 are inserted into the two slots 25. The slots 25 facilitate the initial fixation of the fixing blocks 21. Both fixing blocks 21 have positioning holes 22 inside. The two bolts 23 are inserted into the two slots 25 to facilitate the fixation of the warning lights 20.
[0041] Specifically, when installing the warning light 20, first, insert the fixing block 21 that fixes the external part of the warning light 20 into the slot 25 opened on the upper part of the body 1. Then, screw the bolt 23 into the positioning hole 22 opened inside the fixing block 21. This completes the installation of the warning light 20. Installing the warning light 20 on the outside of the inspection drone enables the drone to be clearly identified by ground personnel and surrounding operating equipment during flight, take-off and landing, and the execution of inspection tasks.
[0042] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble the dual camera body 5, firstly, pull the handle to move the pull rod 11. The movement of the pull rod 11 moves the externally fixed connecting block 9. The movement of the connecting block 9 moves the bottom fixed slider 8 outside the crossbar 7. When the slider 8 moves, it moves the externally fixed insert block 12 on the right side synchronously. At the same time, when the pull rod 11 moves, it squeezes the externally sleeved spring 10, causing the spring 10 to deform under force. When the insert block 12 disengages from the inside of the slot 24, the dual camera body 5 can be taken out from the inside of the mounting block 4 for maintenance or replacement. During installation, insert the top of the dual camera body 5 into the inside of the mounting block 4. Then, release the pull rod 11. Then, under the reaction force of the spring 10, insert the insert block 12 into the inside of the slot 24 to complete the installation. This allows the dual camera body 5 to be installed without disassembling the whole machine when it is damaged. The operation is simple, convenient, time-saving and labor-saving, thereby improving the inspection efficiency.
[0043] When protecting the dual-camera body 5, first, place the protective cover 14 on the front of the dual-camera body 5. Then, make the connecting block 15 fixed on the outside of the protective cover 14 fit against the bottom of the body 1. Next, insert the protrusion 16 fixed on the top left of the connecting block 15 into the insertion hole 18 opened on the left side of the body 1. Then, screw the bolt 17 into the mounting hole 19 opened on the left side of the body 1. The installation of the protective cover 14 is completed. By installing the protective cover 14 on the outside of the dual-camera body 5, the protective cover 14 can effectively resist external impacts (such as flying insects, dust, sand, raindrops, branches, etc.) encountered during flight, reduce the risk of direct damage to the camera, and thus improve the durability of the drone's dual cameras.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
