Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surveying and mapping technology, and in particular to a drone surveying and mapping device. Background Technology

[0002] With the maturity of drone technology, drones can be equipped with various high-precision surveying and mapping equipment to form drone surveying and mapping devices and complete complex surveying and mapping tasks.

[0003] A search revealed a prior art UAV mapping device (publication number: CN119240025A), comprising:

[0004] The tripod is fixedly installed at the lower end of the drone body by screws, and a support base plate is provided on the inner side of the tripod. Wings are provided at the top corners of the upper end of the drone body. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper end of the support base plate, and a protective plate is provided in the middle of the inner side of the fixing plate through a hinge axis. A prefabricated through groove is provided in the interior of the protective plate near the fixing plate, and a guide groove is provided in the inner side of the middle of the lower end of the protective plate.

[0005] Existing technologies protect the shooting components by setting up a retractable and rotatable protective structure. However, the drone needs to carry the protective components during flight, which increases the flight weight and is not conducive to the drone's endurance. Although the protective components can be rotatable during flight, they increase flight drag and also affect the shooting angle. There is room for optimization in the protection of the shooting part.

[0006] Therefore, we propose an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mapping device. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problem of the increased flight weight of the aforementioned protective components affecting flight endurance, and provides a UAV mapping device.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a UAV mapping device, comprising:

[0009] The drone itself, with a camera mounted on its bottom for taking pictures;

[0010] A protective structure is detachably installed below the drone body to shield and protect the camera. The protective structure includes a first outer cover, a second outer cover, and a corrugated sponge. The first and second outer covers together form a box with a cavity. Corrugated sponges are fixedly installed inside both the first and second outer covers. The corrugated sponges can resist and support the camera.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the protective structure further includes a hanging ring and an anti-detachment ring. The anti-detachment ring is fixedly installed on the drone body, and the hanging ring is fixedly installed on both the first outer cover and the second outer cover. The hanging ring is engaged with the anti-detachment ring.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the anti-detachment ring includes two rings of different diameters. The smaller diameter ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the drone body, and the larger diameter ring is located below.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the hanging ring is a semi-circular structure. The hanging ring is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the first outer cover. The central hole of the hanging ring is adapted to the smaller ring of the anti-detachment ring. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the inner top surface of the hanging ring, which is adapted to the larger ring of the anti-detachment ring.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first outer cover and the second outer cover are boxes with openings on one side, and the openings of the first outer cover and the second outer cover are arranged opposite to each other. The corrugated sponge is fixed to the inner wall of the first outer cover and the second outer cover, and the two corrugated sponges together form a storage cavity for the camera.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective structure further includes an elastic band, which is rotatably connected to the first outer cover, and the elastic band can apply a squeezing force to the second outer cover in the direction of the first outer cover.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first outer cover forms a U-shaped band, with both ends of the elastic band rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first outer cover, and a retaining edge is fixedly provided on one side of the second outer cover, with the elastic band located above the retaining edge.

[0017] This utility model provides a drone mapping device. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mapping device, by setting up a detachable first outer cover and a second outer cover, forms a sealed box to enclose the camera inside the box. With the help of two corrugated sponges to support the camera, the deformable corrugated sponges can support the camera and reduce the probability of damage during transportation. Secondly, the soft camera can protect the camera from scratches and damage. After removing the first and second outer covers, it will not interfere with the movement of the camera and normal shooting. It can be removed during flight without increasing flight drag or affecting the endurance.

[0019] 2. This drone mapping device, by inserting a hanging ring and an anti-detachment ring, can increase the vertical tension of the first outer cover and the second outer cover, and prevent the first outer cover and the anti-detachment ring from falling off. In this way, the box formed by the first outer cover and the second outer cover can stably cover the camera to form a protective barrier. The first outer cover and the second outer cover are easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, and are convenient for storage and disassembly during takeoff and use.

[0020] 3. This UAV mapping device, by pulling the elastic band to deform it so that the elastic band is above the guard edge, and then releasing the elastic band, uses the elasticity of the elastic band to tighten the first outer cover and the second outer cover, making the box structure formed by the first outer cover and the second outer cover more stable, while the guard edge can prevent the elastic band from falling off, and the protective performance against bumps during transportation will not be reduced, providing stable protection for the camera.

[0027] A drone mapping device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0028] The drone body 10 has a camera 11 for taking pictures mounted on its bottom.

[0029] The protective structure is detachably installed below the drone body 10 to shield and protect the camera 11. The protective structure includes a first outer cover 20, a second outer cover 21, and a corrugated sponge 22. The first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 together form a box with a cavity. Corrugated sponges 22 are fixedly installed inside the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21. The corrugated sponges 22 can abut against the camera 11 and support the camera 11. The first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 are both boxes with an opening on one side. The openings of the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 are arranged opposite each other. The corrugated sponges 22 are fixed to the inner walls of the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21. The two corrugated sponges 22 together open a storage cavity to fit the camera 11.

[0030] In this solution, by setting up a detachable first outer cover 20 and a second outer cover 21, the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 form a sealed box to cover the camera 11 inside the box. With the help of two corrugated sponges 22 to resist the camera 11, the corrugated sponges 22 with deformation capability can support the camera 11 and reduce the probability of damage during transportation. Secondly, the soft camera 11 can protect the camera 11 from scratches and damage. After removing the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21, it will not interfere with the movement of the camera 11 and normal shooting.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the protective structure also includes a hanging ring 23 and an anti-detachment ring 24. The anti-detachment ring 24 is fixedly installed on the drone body 10. The first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 are both fixedly installed with the hanging ring 23. The hanging ring 23 is engaged with the anti-detachment ring 24. The anti-detachment ring 24 includes two rings with different diameters. The smaller diameter ring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the drone body 10, and the larger diameter ring is located below. The hanging ring 23 is a semi-circular structure. The hanging ring 23 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the first outer cover 20. The center hole of the hanging ring 23 is adapted to the smaller ring of the anti-detachment ring 24. The inner top surface of the hanging ring 23 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which is adapted to the larger ring of the anti-detachment ring 24.

[0032] By connecting the hanging ring 23 to the anti-detachment ring 24, the hanging ring 23 can increase the vertical tension of the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21, preventing the first outer cover 20 and the anti-detachment ring 24 from falling off. As a result, the box formed by the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 can stably cover the camera 11 to form a protective barrier. The first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 are easy and quick to assemble and disassemble, which is convenient for storage and disassembly and assembly during takeoff and use.

[0033] like Figure 5As shown, the protective structure also includes an elastic band 25, which is rotatably connected to the first outer cover 20. The elastic band 25 can apply a squeezing force to the second outer cover 21 in the direction of the first outer cover 20. The first outer cover 20 forms a U-shaped band, and both ends of the elastic band 25 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first outer cover 20. A retaining edge is fixedly provided on one side of the second outer cover 21, and the elastic band 25 is located above the retaining edge. As a supplementary explanation of the above scheme, a cylinder can be provided on the outside of the first outer cover 20, and a circular hole is opened at the end of the elastic band 25. By inserting the cylinder... The elastic band 25 is installed inside the circular hole. When the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 form a box to cover the camera 11, the elastic band 25 is pulled to deform, so that the elastic band 25 is above the edge. Then the elastic band 25 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic band 25 is used to tighten the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21, making the box structure formed by the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 more stable. The edge can prevent the elastic band 25 from falling off, and the protective performance against bumps during transportation will not be reduced, providing stable protection for the camera 11.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The hanging ring 23 is inserted into the anti-detachment ring 24. The hanging ring 23 provides vertical tension to the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21, preventing the first outer cover 20 from falling off the anti-detachment ring 24. Combined with two corrugated sponges 22 that press against the camera 11, the deformable corrugated sponges 22 support the camera 11, reducing the probability of damage during transportation. Furthermore, the softness of the camera 11 protects it from scratches and damage. Pulling the elastic band 25 deforms the camera 11, allowing... The elastic band 25 is positioned above the edge, and then the elastic band 25 is released. The elasticity of the elastic band 25 is used to tighten the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21, making the box structure formed by the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 more stable. The edge can prevent the elastic band 25 from falling off, and thus the box formed by the first outer cover 20 and the second outer cover 21 can stably cover the camera 11 to form a protective barrier. The drone body 10 and the camera 11 are mature existing technologies, and the specific models and specifications are not limited here.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
