[0002] With the development of remote sensing technology, drones have been widely used in various measurement tasks. However, existing drone-borne measurement systems mostly focus on radiation measurement in visible light or other bands, and rarely use drone platforms to measure infrared radiation. Using drones to carry infrared detection equipment can significantly improve the efficiency, accuracy and safety of infrared radiation measurement. Combined with the drone's flight control system, it can accurately scan the measurement area for infrared radiation according to mission requirements and acquire infrared radiation distribution data of a large area in real time.

[0003] Most existing infrared detection devices use static measurement, rely on fixed positions, and cannot perform dynamic or large-scale measurement. They also have certain limitations in integration with UAV platforms, mainly in how to effectively monitor equipment and ensure its safe operation under high-altitude conditions, and how to ensure the stability of data acquisition under the condition of rapid UAV movement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to miniaturize and lighten infrared detection equipment to make it more suitable for UAV flight platforms, optimize UAV mounting and equipment power supply systems, ensure safety during high-altitude flight operations, and develop directional mechanical modules specifically for infrared detection equipment to ensure stable and controllable measurement angles.
