Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meteorological monitoring technology, and in particular to a drone equipped with a meteorological sensor. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional techniques, to detect air parameters at high altitudes, the testing equipment is usually carried to high altitudes by balloons. This method is difficult to operate, inconvenient to use, and balloons are prone to bursting at high altitudes.

[0003] Therefore, existing weather drones with weather detection capabilities, such as the one with announcement number CN219077507U, include a mounting box with a protective cotton layer on the side. The top and bottom of the mounting box are fitted with a top cover and a base, respectively. A connecting component is provided between the top cover and the drone body. Support legs are located at the bottom of the base. A weather station assembly is located at the top center of the mounting box, and a weather sensor assembly is located at the bottom. When an impact comes from the side of the mounting box, the protective cotton layer on the side acts as a buffer, greatly reducing the probability of direct impact and the possibility of damage from indirect impact to the weather station assembly and weather sensor assembly.

[0004] However, during drone operations, if a fall occurs, and the fall height is high, the force of the impact with the ground will be significantly increased. When the impact occurs on the side of the mounting box, even if the side of the mounting box is equipped with anti-collision cotton, which can alleviate the impact to a certain extent, it still cannot completely offset it. This remaining impact force will be transmitted to the weather station assembly through the mounting box, posing a threat to the structural integrity and normal operation of the weather station assembly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and to propose a drone equipped with a weather sensor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drone equipped with a meteorological sensor, comprising a drone and a meteorological station assembly. The drone has a protective cage at its bottom, and the meteorological station assembly is located at the central axis inside the protective cage. Two sets of clamping semi-rings are provided on the outside of the meteorological station assembly, with the two sets of clamping semi-rings respectively located near the top and bottom of the meteorological station assembly. Multiple circumferentially distributed wrapping buckles are fixedly connected to the outside of each set of clamping semi-rings. Several pull ropes arranged in a circular array are fixedly connected to the inside of the protective cage. The pull ropes are divided into upper and lower layers. The other ends of the pull ropes in the upper layer are respectively tied to the multiple wrapping buckles near the top of the meteorological station assembly, and the other ends of the pull ropes in the lower layer are respectively tied to the multiple wrapping buckles near the bottom of the meteorological station assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the protective cage is fitted with a liftable mounting sleeve, and a limit sleeve is fixedly connected inside the mounting sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes a sensor and a motor. The sensor is located at the bottom of the weather station assembly, the motor is fixed inside the mounting sleeve, and the motor spindle passes through the limiting sleeve and is fixedly connected to a soft brush for cleaning the sensor.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the protective cage is fixedly connected to an installation cylinder, and an electric push rod is fixedly connected inside the installation cylinder. The telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixed to a motor.

[0010] Preferably, the protective cage is divided into upper and lower parts along the middle horizontal plane, and the upper and lower parts of the protective cage are detachably fixed by bolts. The top of the protective cage is provided with a fixing bolt, and the fixing bolt is threadedly connected to the bottom of the drone.

[0011] Preferably, a set of clamping half-rings is provided with two symmetrically distributed clamping half-rings, and the two symmetrically distributed clamping half-rings are clamped and fixed to the weather station assembly by bolts.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a protective cage, a pull rope, and a wrapping buckle, the protective cage can directly block the collision of external objects with the weather station assembly, while the pull rope makes the weather station assembly flexibly suspended in the protective cage. When the drone encounters turbulence, vibration, or falls during flight, the pull rope can buffer the impact force through its own elastic deformation, avoiding rigid collision between the weather station assembly and the protective cage, effectively protecting the structural integrity and normal operation of the weather station assembly and sensors, and reducing their risk of damage.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, an electric push rod, a motor, and a soft brush are provided. When dust and impurities accumulate on the sensor surface and affect the monitoring accuracy, the electric push rod extends to drive the motor and soft brush to rise and contact the sensor surface. The motor drives the soft brush to rotate and clean, ensuring that the sensor can accurately monitor meteorological data. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a drone equipped with a weather sensor includes a drone 1 and a weather station assembly 3. A protective cage 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone 1. The weather station assembly 3 is located at the central axis inside the protective cage 2. Two sets of clamping semi-rings 12 are installed on the outside of the weather station assembly 3. The two sets of clamping semi-rings 12 are respectively located near the top and bottom of the weather station assembly 3. Multiple circumferentially distributed wrapping buckles 14 are fixedly connected to the outside of each set of clamping semi-rings 12. Several pull ropes 4 are fixedly connected to the inside of the protective cage 2 in a circular array. The pull ropes 4 are divided into upper and lower layers. The other end of the pull ropes 4 in the upper layer is tied to the multiple wrapping buckles 14 near the top of the weather station assembly 3, and the other end of the pull ropes 4 in the lower layer is tied to the multiple wrapping buckles 14 near the bottom of the weather station assembly 3.

[0023] In this technical solution, the protective cage 2 provides direct physical protection for the weather station assembly 3, and can block external objects from colliding with the weather station assembly 3 to a certain extent. The installation of the pull rope 4 and the wrapping buckle 14 allows the weather station assembly 3 to be in a flexible suspension state within the protective cage 2. When the UAV 1 encounters turbulence, vibration, or falls during flight, the pull rope 4 can buffer some of the impact force through its own elastic deformation, avoiding a rigid collision between the weather station assembly 3 and the protective cage 2, thereby effectively protecting the structural integrity and normal operation of the weather station assembly 3 and reducing its risk of damage.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, a liftable mounting sleeve 5 is fitted inside the bottom of the protective cage 2. A limiting sleeve 13 is fixedly connected inside the mounting sleeve 5. The cage also includes a sensor 8 and a motor 10. The sensor 8 is located at the bottom of the weather station assembly 3. The motor 10 is fixed inside the mounting sleeve 5. The main shaft of the motor 10 passes through the limiting sleeve 13 and is fixedly connected to a soft brush 11 for cleaning the sensor 8. A mounting cylinder 7 is fixedly connected through the bottom of the protective cage 2. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected inside the mounting cylinder 7. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 is fixed to the motor 10.

[0025] In this technical solution, the electric push rod 9 extends and retracts to change the height of the motor 10, thereby adjusting the distance between the soft brush 11 and the sensor 8 to clean the surface of the sensor 8. When dust, impurities, etc. accumulate on the surface of the sensor 8 and affect the monitoring accuracy, the electric push rod 9 is activated to extend, driving the motor 10 and the soft brush 11 to rise until the soft brush 11 contacts the surface of the sensor 8. Then, the motor 10 is activated, and its main shaft drives the soft brush 11 to rotate, cleaning the sensor 8, removing surface dirt, and ensuring that the sensor 8 can accurately monitor meteorological data.

[0026] Furthermore, the limiting sleeve 13 is used for guidance, restricting the movement trajectory of the motor 10 spindle, ensuring that the soft brush 11 remains stable during the rotation cleaning process and avoiding shaking.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the protective cage 2 is divided into upper and lower parts along the middle horizontal plane. The upper and lower parts of the protective cage 2 are detachably fixed by bolts. The top of the protective cage 2 is provided with fixing bolts 6, which are threaded to the bottom of the drone 1.

[0028] In this technical solution, when repairing internal components, staff do not need to completely disassemble the connection between the protective cage 2 and the drone 1. They can easily open the protective cage 2 and access the internal equipment by simply unscrewing the bolts connecting the upper and lower parts of the protective cage 2, thus improving work efficiency.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a set of clamping half rings 12 is provided in two symmetrically distributed positions, and the two symmetrically distributed clamping half rings 12 are clamped and fixed to the weather station assembly 3 by bolts.

[0030] Working principle: First, the protective cage 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone 1 by fixing bolts 6. The weather station assembly 3 is placed at the central axis inside the protective cage 2. The weather station assembly 3 is clamped and fixed by clamping half ring 12. Then, several pull ropes 4 are tied to the corresponding wrapping buckles 14 respectively, so that the weather station assembly 3 is in a flexible suspension state inside the protective cage 2. During the flight, if the drone 1 encounters turbulence, vibration or crash, the pull ropes 4 will buffer the impact force through elastic deformation to protect the weather station assembly 3. When dust accumulates on the surface of the sensor 8 and affects the monitoring accuracy, the electric push rod 9 extends, and drives the motor 10 and soft brush 11 in the mounting sleeve 5 to rise along the limit sleeve 13. Then the motor 10 is started, and its main shaft drives the soft brush 11 to rotate and clean the sensor 8.

[0031] The wiring diagrams of the UAV 1, weather station assembly 3, sensor 8, electric actuator 9, and motor 10 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control methods and wiring layouts of the UAV 1, weather station assembly 3, sensor 8, electric actuator 9, and motor 10 will not be explained in detail.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
