Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipment technology, specifically a video target recognition device for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] Video target recognition equipment used in drones mainly includes various types, such as infrared thermal imagers, visible light cameras, and radar-based recognition devices, such as millimeter-wave radar. These are less affected by weather conditions and can operate normally in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, and dust; they can penetrate certain obstacles, such as vegetation and thin walls. They are commonly used in fields such as automotive autonomous driving assistance systems, drone obstacle avoidance, and security monitoring. There are also agricultural monitoring-related recognition devices, such as multispectral cameras and corresponding plant identification software equipped on some agricultural drones, which can distinguish between different types of crops and weeds, providing data support for precision agriculture.

[0003] In existing technologies, video recognition devices carried on drones are generally used by combining cameras with corresponding radar sensors. They are usually mounted on the bottom of the drone. When the drone lands, the radar receiving sensor at the bottom may be damaged unnecessarily. In order to enhance the safety performance of the recognition device, we propose a video target recognition device for drones. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 A video target recognition device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a main body 5, a camera body 7 mounted on the front of the main body 5, and a radar sensor body 6 fixedly connected to the lower end of the main body 5. The radar sensor body 6 uses millimeter-wave radar technology, enabling accurate detection of target distance and speed, and can operate stably even in adverse weather conditions. A mounting device is fixedly connected to the frame of the main body 5. The mounting device has a compact design, facilitating quick installation and disassembly, thus improving the portability and efficiency of the device. The mounting device includes multiple uprights 2 fixedly connected to the frame of the main body 5. The uprights 2 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure. Two connecting brackets 1 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the multiple uprights 2.

[0021] The identification device body 5 has mounting bases 3 on both sides. Each mounting base 3 integrates multiple sensor interfaces, facilitating the expansion and upgrading of device functions. The two mounting bases 3 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the two upright columns 2. This symmetrical design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps to balance the weight distribution of the device. Protective frames 11 are installed below each mounting base 3. These frames feature an anti-collision design, effectively protecting internal components from external impacts and damage. Moving devices are fixedly connected to the side walls of both protective frames 11. These moving devices have a precise control system, enabling smooth and rapid position adjustments. The moving devices include two connecting rods 15 fixedly connected to the side walls of the protective frames 11. The surfaces of the connecting rods 15 undergo special treatment, providing excellent corrosion resistance and extending their service life. Correspondingly, grooves are provided at the lower ends of the mounting bases 3. These grooves are rationally designed to facilitate the installation and maintenance of internal components, reducing construction difficulty and time. A small motor 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one of the grooves. The small motor 10 is compact yet powerful, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. A threaded post 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the small motor 10. The threaded post 12 uses a precision thread design, improving the strength and reliability of the connection. A guide post 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the other groove. The guide post 13 has a smooth surface, reducing frictional resistance and making movement smoother. The threaded post 12 is threadedly connected to the side wall of one of the connecting rods 15. This connection method ensures structural stability and reduces vibration and noise. The guide post 13 is slidably connected to the side wall of the other connecting rod 15. This sliding connection design makes the equipment more flexible and convenient to adjust its position.

[0022] Specifically, both device bases 3 have storage devices extending through their upper ends. These storage devices have ample internal space to hold various spare parts and tools, improving equipment maintenance efficiency. The storage devices include storage slots extending through the upper ends of the device bases 3. These slots are dustproof, protecting the contents from dust and moisture. A ring plate, made of highly elastic material, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage slot, providing excellent cushioning and preventing damage to items during movement. A magnetic sheet 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the ring plate, possessing strong magnetic force to ensure a tight seal of the cover 4 when closed, preventing accidental opening. A cover 4 is located at the opening of the storage slot. The surface of the cover 4 is treated with an anti-slip coating for easy opening and closing. The cover 4 and the magnetic sheet 9 are magnetically attracted to each other; this magnetic design is simple and reliable, requiring no additional locking device and improving ease of use. A latching groove 8 extends through the outer wall of the cover 4. The latching groove 8 is ergonomically designed, allowing users to easily open the cover 4 with their fingers.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that limit blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two threaded posts 12 and the two guide posts 13. The limit blocks 14 are made of high-hardness material, which effectively prevents the threaded posts 12 and guide posts 13 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby increasing the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0024] Specifically, the two device seats 3 and the two connecting rods 15 are made of lightweight materials, which reduce the overall weight of the equipment. For example, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer materials can be used.

[0025] In this invention, the device is connected to the bottom of the drone via the connecting frame 1 and can be fixed using mounting screws in the prior art. When the drone is about to land, the small motors 10 on both sides will start under the drive of the relevant drivers in the prior art, which can drive the threaded column 12 to rotate and drive the corresponding connecting rod 15 to move, so that the two protective frames 11 below can move closer to each other, thereby protecting the radar sensor body 6 below and preventing damage to the equipment in the event of an accident during landing.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
