Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a surveying UAV. Background Technology

[0002] A mapping drone is a type of drone specifically designed for geographic information collection, topographic mapping, and spatial data acquisition. They are typically equipped with high-precision cameras and other sensors, enabling them to capture high-resolution images and data during flight for map creation, land surveying, and other related geographic information services.

[0003] While existing technologies offer numerous advantages, they still suffer from the following problems: the lack of a blade cleaning structure results in foreign objects, such as insect carcasses, adhering to the drone's blades after use, making it difficult for staff to clean them. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a surveying drone to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a surveying drone, comprising a main body, a storage slot, an extension arm, and a connecting plate. The main body has extension arms arranged in a rectangular array on its outer wall. A protective ring is installed on the outer wall of one end of each extension arm. A propeller is rotatably installed inside the protective ring. Storage slots are provided on both outer walls of the extension arms. A drive push rod is installed on one side of the inner wall of each storage slot. A connecting plate is installed on the outer wall of one end of each drive push rod. Equally spaced parallel brushes are installed on the lower outer wall of the connecting plate.

[0006] When using one of the mapping drones in this technical solution, the drive push rod pushes the connecting plate and the baffle to move horizontally until the brush moves out of the storage slot. The brush then contacts the propeller blades, and the drive motor drives the propeller blades to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the outer wall of the propeller blades through the brush.

[0007] Preferably, a camera body is provided on the lower outer wall of the main body. The main body acquires images through the camera body.

[0008] Preferably, the protective ring is circular in shape and hollow inside. The protective ring protects the propeller blades.

[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is installed at one end of the outer wall of the protective ring through the blade, and the drive motor is connected to the outer wall of the protective ring. The drive motor drives the blade to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the storage slots are rectangular in shape, and the two storage slots are located at the upper and lower ends of the blade, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, a baffle is installed on the outer wall of one end of the connecting plate. The baffle has a rectangular shape and is located inside the storage slot. The baffle covers the storage slot.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves the effect of cleaning the blades by setting a drive push rod, a storage groove and a brush. The drive push rod pushes the connecting plate and the baffle to move horizontally until the brush moves out of the storage groove. The brush comes into contact with the blades, and the drive motor drives the blades to rotate. Thus, the brush achieves the purpose of cleaning the outer wall of the blades, causing foreign objects adhering to the outer wall of the blades to fall off and ensuring the relative cleanliness of the outer wall of the blades.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides two embodiments:

[0020] Example 1: A surveying drone includes a main body 1, a storage slot 2, an extension arm 12, and a connecting plate 22. The outer wall of the main body 1 is equipped with an extension arm 12 arranged in a rectangular array. A protective ring 13 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the extension arm 12. A propeller 15 is rotatably installed inside the protective ring 13. Storage slots 2 are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the extension arm 12. A drive push rod 21 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the storage slot 2. A connecting plate 22 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the drive push rod 21. A brush 23 is installed on the lower outer wall of the connecting plate 22, which is equidistantly parallel.

[0021] A camera body 11 is installed on the lower outer wall of the main body 1. The main body 1 acquires images through the camera body 11.

[0022] Example 2: A surveying drone includes a main body 1, a storage slot 2, an extension arm 12, and a connecting plate 22. The outer wall of the main body 1 is equipped with an extension arm 12 arranged in a rectangular array. A protective ring 13 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the extension arm 12. A propeller 15 is rotatably installed inside the protective ring 13. Storage slots 2 are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the extension arm 12. A drive push rod 21 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the storage slot 2. A connecting plate 22 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the drive push rod 21. A brush 23 is installed on the lower outer wall of the connecting plate 22, which is equidistantly parallel.

[0023] A camera body 11 is installed on the lower outer wall of the main body 1. The main body 1 acquires images through the camera body 11.

[0024] The protective ring 13 has a circular shape and a hollow interior. The protective ring 13 protects the propeller blade 15.

[0025] A drive motor 14 is installed on one end of the outer wall of the protective ring 13 through the propeller blade 15. The UAV device of this utility model also requires a drive motor 14 and a drive push rod 21 for normal operation. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the provision of the drive motor 14 and drive push rod 21 is commonplace and falls under conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated upon here. Those skilled in the art can arbitrarily select and match them according to their needs or convenience. The drive motor 14 is connected to the outer wall of the protective ring 13. The drive motor 14 drives the propeller blade 15 to rotate. During the cleaning process of the propeller blade 15, the drive motor 14 drives the propeller blade 15 to rotate at a speed of 60-900 revolutions per minute.

[0026] The storage slot 2 adopts a rectangular shape design, and the two storage slots 2 are located at the upper and lower ends of the propeller 15 respectively.

[0027] A baffle 24 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the connecting plate 22. The baffle 24 has a rectangular shape and is located inside the storage slot 2. The baffle 24 blocks the storage slot 2. The drive push rod 21 pushes the connecting plate 22 and the baffle 24 to move horizontally until the brush 23 moves out of the storage slot 2. The brush 23 then contacts the blade 15. The drive motor 14 drives the blade 15 to rotate, thereby cleaning the outer wall of the blade 15 through the brush 23, causing foreign objects adhering to the outer wall of the blade 15 to fall off, ensuring the relative cleanliness of the outer wall of the blade 15. Since the brush 23 has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, when the brush 23 is stored inside the storage slot 2, its bristles are in a bent state. After the brush 23 moves out of the storage slot 2, the brush 23 unfolds through its own elasticity, so that the brush 23 can contact the blade 15.

[0028] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
