Description

A monitoring and inspection drone Technical Field

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

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices. They have no cockpit, but are equipped with autopilots, program control devices, and other equipment. Ground personnel, personnel on ships, or at mother aircraft remote control stations track, locate, control, telemetry, and transmit data to them through radar and other equipment. They can take off like ordinary aircraft under radio remote control or be launched into the air by booster rockets. They can also be carried into the air by a mother aircraft and deployed for flight. They are widely used for aerial reconnaissance, surveillance, communication, anti-submarine warfare, and electronic jamming.

[0003] However, some existing monitoring and inspection drones, when used in rainy, snowy, or windy weather, may experience fogging or icing due to rain or snow adhering to the lens surface, while wind and sand may also adhere to the lens surface, affecting the lens's clarity. This makes it difficult to conduct effective inspections in poor weather conditions and hinders effective lens protection, resulting in poor practicality. In view of this, we propose a monitoring and inspection drone to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

This utility model provides a technical solution: a monitoring and inspection drone, including a drone body 1, a camera 2 disposed on the lower side of the drone body 1, a fixing ring 3 disposed on the front side of the camera 2, an L-shaped connecting rod 4 fixedly connected to the rear surface of the fixing ring 3, the fixing ring 3 being fixedly connected to the outside of the drone body 1 through the L-shaped connecting rod 4, an air outlet 5 being opened on the surface of the fixing ring 3, a cavity 6 being opened inside the fixing ring 3, the air outlet 5 and the cavity 6 being connected, a protective box 7 being fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drone body 1, and a C-shaped... Both ends of the pipe 8 and the C-shaped pipe 8 are fixedly connected to flexible hoses 9. Both flexible hoses 9 are fixedly connected to the fixing ring 3. Both flexible hoses 9 are connected to the cavity 6. The rear side of the protective box 7 is fixedly connected to the box body 10. The box body 10 is equipped with a blower. The surface of the box body 10 is fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe 11. The air outlet pipe 11 is connected to the C-shaped pipe 8. By setting the blower inside the box body 10, air can be sent to the cavity 6 through the C-shaped pipe 8 and the flexible hoses 9, and then blown out from the air outlet 5, thereby cleaning the lens of the camera 2. The lower side of the drone body 1 is equipped with a support component.

[0025] Control boxes 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective box 7. Two heating sleeves 13 are fixedly fitted on the outside of the C-shaped tube 8. Electric heating wires are installed inside the heating sleeves 13. The heating sleeves 13 are connected to the control boxes 12. The heating sleeves 13 can heat the internal air through the control boxes 12, thereby effectively preventing the lens from fogging or icing in rainy or snowy weather.

[0026] A rotating platform 14 is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the drone body 1. A connecting component 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating platform 14. The other end of the connecting component 15 is fixedly connected to the camera 2. The camera 2 can be rotated by the rotating platform 14 and the connecting component 15. This is an existing structure, so it will not be described in detail in this article.

[0027] The support assembly includes four fixed plates 16, all of which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the UAV body 1. A rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 16 on both sides, and a support leg 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 17.

[0028] A connecting ring 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support leg 18. A support shaft 20 is rotatably sleeved inside the connecting ring 19. A buffer plate 21 is provided on the lower side of the support shaft 20.

[0029] A guide rod 24 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the buffer plate 21, and the guide rod 24 slides through the interior of the support shaft 20.

[0030] A buffer spring 25 is fixedly connected between the buffer plate 21 and the support shaft 20, and the buffer spring 25 is movably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 24.

[0031] Two circular plates 22 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 17. A torsion spring 23 is fixedly connected between the circular plate 22 and the fixed plate 16. The torsion spring 23 is movably sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 17.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the monitoring and inspection drone is in use, the blowing device inside the housing 10 is activated. At this time, the air will enter the cavity 6 through the C-shaped tube 8 and the hose 9, and then blow from the air outlet 5 onto the lens surface of the camera 2, thereby blowing off the sand and soil attached to its surface.

[0034] When rain or snow is required, the control box 12 is activated to heat the heating jacket 13 to heat the C-shaped tube 8, thereby blowing hot air out of the air outlet 5, which effectively prevents the lens of the camera 2 from fogging or icing.

[0035] When the drone body 1 lands, the buffer plate 21 contacts the ground, and the buffer spring 25 will provide the first buffer for the drone body 1. Subsequently, the support leg 18 will be forced to open to both sides. At this time, the support shaft 20 will rotate inside the connecting ring 19. At the same time, the support leg 18 will also drive the rotating rod 17 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 17 can drive the torsion spring 23 to deform, thereby realizing the second buffer for the drone body 1.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
