Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drones, specifically to an integrated device for drone AI image processing and storage. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard program control devices. From a technical perspective, they can be divided into: unmanned fixed-wing aircraft, unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft, unmanned airships, unmanned helicopters, unmanned multi-rotor aircraft, unmanned paragliders, etc. In the field of civilian drones, UAVs are widely used for video recording and photography.

[0003] In existing technologies, drones with camera functions generally place the image processing unit inside the drone's body, requiring the drone's cover to be opened before the drone's memory card can be inserted or removed.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing drones that only perform simple image recording do not require the use of high-power image processing chips. However, if image AI information processing is required, using high-power chips can easily lead to problems with heat dissipation due to the chips being located inside the drone's body, resulting in limited image AI information processing capabilities. In summary, existing drones have weak heat dissipation capabilities for AI image processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated device for AI image processing and storage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the technical problem of weak heat dissipation capacity of existing UAVs for AI image processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated AI image processing and storage device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising a housing installed on the belly of the UAV and containing a storage compartment for inserting a memory card, and a heat-conducting plate with heat-conducting fins fixedly connected to it. Multiple ventilation openings are spaced apart at the front end of the housing. A circuit board is attached to the heat-conducting plate, and an AI image processing chip is mounted on the circuit board. The circuit board and the storage compartment are connected via signal lines.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a box structure is set in the belly of the drone. The heat-conducting plate inside the box structure is closely attached to the circuit board on which the AI ​​image processing chip is installed. The airflow generated during the flight of the drone is used to efficiently cool the AI ​​image processing chip, so that the drone can continuously maintain its AI image processing capability.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a cover plate is rotatably connected to the end of the box body away from the air vent, and a slot for inserting a memory card is provided at the end of the storage box facing the cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the memory card can be easily inserted or removed by opening the cover.

[0010] The present invention is further provided that the top of the storage box is provided with an interface for connecting a signal line, the interface being used to connect a signal line that passes through the interior of the drone.

[0011] Preferably, a signal line is connected using the interface of the storage box to transmit signals to the drone.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that heat pipes are spaced apart between the fins, the top ends of the heat pipes all pass through each fin, and the bottom ends penetrate into the interior of the heat-conducting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the heat pipe can further enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the heat-conducting plate for the circuit board.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the heat pipe located inside the heat-conducting plate has a rectangular cross-section and a thickness less than that of the heat-conducting plate.

[0015] Preferably, the heat pipes located inside the heat-conducting plate are adapted to the shape of the heat-conducting plate, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the heat-conducting plate.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom surface of the heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected to each fin, and each fin has a slot for mounting a circuit board on the top surface of the heat-conducting plate.

[0017] Preferably, it facilitates mounting the circuit board above the heat-conducting plate.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the box body is installed at the rear of the fuselage of the drone, and the ventilation opening on the box body faces the front of the drone.

[0019] Preferably, the airflow generated during the flight of the drone is used to fully contact the fins through the vent.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0021] 1. This utility model sets up a box structure in the belly of the drone, and uses a heat-conducting plate inside the box structure to closely attach to the circuit board on which the AI ​​image processing chip is installed. The airflow generated during the flight of the drone is used to efficiently cool the AI ​​image processing chip, so that the drone can continuously maintain its AI image processing capability.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0032] First embodiment:

[0033] A drone AI image processing and storage integrated device, please refer to Figure 1-5 The device includes a housing 1, which is installed on the belly of the drone 8 and has a storage box 3 inside for inserting a memory card. The image processing component and storage component of the drone are both located inside the housing 1, which facilitates the cooling of the image processing chip and the insertion and removal of the memory card.

[0034] It also includes a heat-conducting plate 4, which is fixedly connected to fins 5 for heat conduction. The fins 5 quickly dissipate the heat of the heat-conducting plate 4 into the air. The front end of the box 1 is provided with multiple ventilation vents 101 at intervals. The projection of the ventilation vents 101 toward the bottom surface of the drone is orthogonal to the fins 5. A circuit board 7 is attached to the heat-conducting plate 4. The circuit board 7 is equipped with an AI image processing chip. Specifically, the side of the circuit board 7 with the AI ​​image processing chip faces the heat-conducting plate 4, and thermal grease is applied between the circuit board 7 and the heat-conducting plate. The circuit board 7 is connected to the storage box 3 through a signal line.

[0035] Specifically, the top of the storage box 3 is provided with an interface 301 for connecting signal lines. The interface 301 is used to connect the signal lines that pass through the inside of the drone. By connecting the signal lines through the interface 301 of the storage box 3, signals can be transmitted with the drone.

[0036] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3-5 The end of the box 1 away from the air vent 101 is rotatably connected to a cover plate 2. The end of the storage box 3 facing the cover plate 2 is provided with a slot 302 for inserting a memory card. The memory card can be easily inserted and removed by opening the cover plate 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the box body 1 is installed at the rear of the belly of the drone, and the vent 101 on the box body 1 faces the front of the drone. The airflow generated during the flight of the drone enters the vent 101 and fully contacts the fins. A camera 9 is installed at the front of the belly of the drone 8. The camera 9 is covered by a hemispherical glass cover. The box body 1 is located behind the camera 9. After the airflow passes through the hemispherical glass cover of the camera 9, it passes through the vent 101 and enters the box body 1.

[0038] Second embodiment:

[0039] A drone AI image processing and storage integrated device, please refer to Figure 1-5 Heat pipes 6 are spaced apart between the fins 5. The top of each heat pipe 6 passes through each fin 5 and the bottom of each heat pipe 6 enters the interior of the heat-conducting plate 4. The heat pipes 6 can further improve the heat dissipation capacity of the heat-conducting plate 4 for the circuit board 7. The heat pipes 6 are filled with an easily evaporable liquid. After the liquid evaporates in the heat pipe 6, it flows upward to the position where the heat pipe 6 contacts the fins 5 and condenses. Then it flows back to the heat-conducting plate 4. This process is repeated to quickly remove the heat from the heat-conducting plate 4.

[0040] Specifically, the heat pipe 6 located inside the heat-conducting plate 4 has a rectangular cross-section and a thickness less than that of the heat-conducting plate 4. The heat pipe 6 located inside the heat-conducting plate 4 is adapted to the shape of the heat-conducting plate 4, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the heat-conducting plate 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the heat-conducting plate 4 is fixedly connected to each fin 5. Each fin 5 has a slot on the top surface of the heat-conducting plate 4 for mounting the circuit board 7, which facilitates the mounting of the circuit board 7 on the top of the heat-conducting plate 4. The airflow passing through the vent 101 can also contact the bottom surface of the heat-conducting plate 4, allowing the airflow to flow more smoothly inside the box 1, and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat-conducting plate 4.

[0042] In practical operation, as the drone flies forward, the airflow enters the housing 1 through the vent 101 and contacts components such as the fins 5 and the heat-conducting plate 4. The heat generated by the image processing chip on the circuit board 7 is quickly conducted through the heat-conducting plate 4 to the heat pipe 6 and the fins 5, and then quickly conducted into the air through the heat pipe 6 and the fins 5, thus preventing the AI ​​image processing chip on the circuit board 7 from limiting its own power due to heat. When it is necessary to insert or remove the drone's memory card, simply open the cover 2 to easily insert or remove the memory card through the slot 302 on the storage box 3.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
