Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy project inspection technology, specifically to a smart water conservancy project inspection and monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Smart water conservancy project inspection equipment is an important tool to ensure the safe and stable operation of water conservancy projects. The commonly used inspection equipment is mainly the UAV inspection system, which mainly includes UAV platforms (such as multi-rotor, fixed-wing or vertical take-off and landing fixed-wing UAVs) and mission payloads (such as visible light cameras, thermal infrared cameras, lidar, multispectral / hyperspectral cameras, etc.).
[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number CN202322352725.4 discloses a smart water conservancy project inspection and patrol device. Its structure includes a drone body with a horizontal plate directly below it. Vertical poles are fixed at the four corners of the upper surface of the horizontal plate, and the tops of the poles are fixed to the lower surface of the drone body. In this utility model, the drone body is controlled to move downwards, allowing the interception cover to move below floating debris. A rotating shaft drives sliders at both ends of a double-headed screw to move towards each other. These sliders drive two movable blocks and two mounting rods to move towards each other. As the drone body moves upwards, the bottom of the interception cover gradually moves downwards, increasing the amount of debris collected. This prevents the debris from fermenting and rotting, affecting the water environment, if not cleaned in time when there is a small amount. Additionally, a debris-cleaning device is added to the bottom of the drone body, increasing the drone's versatility for inspection and patrol.
[0004] While the existing structure can collect floating debris, it requires the drone to hover close to the water surface during collection. To prevent water from entering the drone, the operator needs a high level of skill, making it difficult to operate. Furthermore, during the first collection, it is easy to collect the floating debris into the interception hood, but in subsequent collections, the interception hood still needs to be moved below the floating debris to collect it. However, it is difficult to guarantee that the debris collected in the first or the first few collections will not fall out of the interception hood, so it is not a very efficient way to collect debris. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing drones, when patrolling and collecting garbage, require low-altitude hovering to collect floating objects, which is difficult to operate and makes it easy for garbage to detach from the interception cover, making efficient collection difficult.
[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is a smart water conservancy project inspection and patrol equipment, including a drone. A pair of hanging poles are fixed below the drone, and a collection frame is hung between the pair of hanging poles. A pair of support plates are fixed to one side of the drone, and a take-up shaft is rotatably arranged between the pair of support plates. A traction rope is fixed to the side of the take-up shaft, and a claw hook structure is fixed to one end of the traction rope. A telescopic rod is fixed to the lower side of the drone, and a limit ring is fixed to one end of the telescopic rod. The limit ring is located on the outside of the traction rope.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the claw structure includes a miniature push rod, a number of claws are rotatably provided on the side of the miniature push rod, a connecting platform is fixed at the output end of the miniature push rod, and a connecting rod is hinged between the connecting platform and the claws. The connecting platform is moved by the miniature push rod, thereby causing the claws to open and close through the connecting rod.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention, a camera is fixed to one side of the drone to facilitate observation of the water surface.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a micro motor is fixed on one side of the support plate, and the output end of the micro motor is fixed to one end of the take-up shaft, so as to facilitate the rotation of the take-up shaft.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this invention: the telescopic rod, the micro motor, the camera, and the micro push rod are all electrically connected to the internal power supply of the drone.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, the distance between the collection slot and the drone is greater than the maximum length of the claw structure, so that the claw structure can be moved above the collection slot.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This application adds a traction rope, a claw hook structure, and a collection strainer. The claw hook structure can be lowered to the floating object on the water surface by the traction rope to grasp it. After being raised, the claw hook structure is brought to the collection strainer by the telescopic rod to place the garbage. The garbage will not fall out of the collection strainer.

[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. 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.
[0020] This utility model provides a technical solution to address the existing problems mentioned in the background art.
[0021] Combined with appendix Figures 1-2 It can be seen that the device includes a drone 1, a camera 10 fixed on one side of the drone 1 for easy observation of the water surface, a pair of hanging poles 2 fixed below the drone 1, a collection frame 3 hanging between the pair of hanging poles 2 for collecting floating debris such as plastic and foam, a pair of support plates 4 fixed on one side of the drone 1, a micro motor 5 fixed on one side of the support plate 4, the output end of the micro motor 5 fixed to one end of the take-up shaft for easy rotation of the take-up shaft, a take-up shaft rotatably mounted between the pair of support plates 4, a traction rope 6 fixed on the side of the take-up shaft, a claw hook structure 7 fixed at one end of the traction rope 6, the traction rope 6 can drive the claw hook structure 7 to move up and down, the distance between the collection frame 3 and the drone 1 is greater than the maximum length of the claw hook structure 7, so that the claw hook structure 7 can be moved above the collection frame 3, a telescopic rod 8 fixed on the lower side of the drone 1, a limit ring 9 fixed at one end of the telescopic rod 8, the limit ring 9 is set outside the traction rope 6, so that the claw hook structure 7 can be moved above the collection frame 3;
[0022] Combined with appendix Figure 3 It can be seen that the claw structure 7 includes a miniature push rod 7.1, and several claws 7.2 are rotatably provided on the side of the miniature push rod 7.1. A connecting platform 7.3 is fixed at the output end of the miniature push rod 7.1. A connecting rod 7.4 is hinged between the connecting platform 7.3 and the claws 7.2. The connecting platform 7.3 is moved by the miniature push rod 7.1, thereby driving the claws 7.2 to open and close through the connecting rod 7.4.
[0023] The working principle of this application is as follows: When conducting water conservancy inspections, the collection frame 3 is first placed on the ground, and then the drone 1 is placed above the collection frame 3 so that the hanging pole 2 can hang the collection frame 3. Then the drone 1 is started to take off so as to lift the collection frame 3 up, and then the inspection can be carried out.
[0024] When small floating objects are detected on the water surface, the drone 1 can hover above the debris, and the micro motor 5 can be activated to lower the claw structure 7. When the micro push rod 7.1 pushes, the claw 7.2 opens, and then the micro push rod 7.1 returns, causing the claw 7.2 to grab the debris. The micro motor 5 then drives the take-up shaft to tighten the traction rope 6. Then, the telescopic rod 8 is activated to pull the claw structure 7 above the collection tray 3, while simultaneously releasing the take-up shaft without affecting the movement of the claw structure 7. Then, the claw 7.2 is released, allowing the debris to fall into the collection tray 3 for collection. Finally, the telescopic rod 8 is activated to return the traction rope 6 to its initial position.
[0025] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
