Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of construction site monitoring technology, specifically a construction site drone monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] The use of drones for monitoring construction sites is an advanced technology. Compared with fixed monitoring, drones can monitor construction sites with a wider range, and because they are viewed from above, they are less likely to have blind spots.

[0003] In a bridge construction safety monitoring system proposed in publication number CN219456755U, a storage compartment is set up so that when the monitoring drone is in a stopped state, the monitoring drone is stored in the drone storage compartment located at or around the bridge construction site, which can avoid pollution such as dust at the bridge construction site.

[0004] However, since the outside of the drone's lens is easily contaminated by dust during flight monitoring, the storage compartment proposed in the above document can only shield and protect the drone when it is parked, but cannot clean the dust on the outside of the drone. It is also necessary for staff to climb up and manually clean the drone, which is quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this patent is to provide a construction site drone monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this patent provides the following technical solution: a construction site drone monitoring device, comprising a storage compartment and a monitoring drone, wherein the storage compartment is mounted on an external fixed frame, and a compartment cover is slidably installed on both the left and right sides of the storage compartment, and the monitoring drone can be placed on top of the storage compartment, and the two compartment covers can shield the monitoring drone.

[0007] A cleaning mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the compartment cover. The cleaning mechanism includes a spring, a connecting plate, brush bristles, a vibration motor, and a vacuum cleaner. One end of the spring is installed on the inner wall of the compartment cover, and the connecting plate is installed on the other end of the spring. Bristles are installed on the side wall of the connecting plate, and the brush bristles can fit against the monitoring drone. A vibration motor is fitted against the side wall of the connecting plate, and a vacuum cleaner is installed on the outer wall of the compartment cover. Both the vibration motor and the vacuum cleaner are electrically connected to an external power source. The input end of the vacuum cleaner passes through the side wall of the compartment cover and is connected to the inner cavity of the compartment cover.

[0008] Preferably, sealing gaskets are fitted to the side walls of both compartment covers, and the two sealing gaskets can be fitted together.

[0009] Preferably, the lower wall of the accommodating compartment is equipped with a bidirectional electrically controlled telescopic rod, and the two telescopic ends of the bidirectional electrically controlled telescopic rod are respectively connected to the lower walls of the two compartment covers.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting rod is installed on the side wall of both compartment covers, and a connecting groove is provided on the left and right side walls of the accommodating compartment. The connecting rod can be inserted into the connecting groove and can slide within the connecting groove.

[0011] Preferably, the upper wall of the storage compartment is equipped with a boss, the monitoring drone is placed on the boss, and the upper wall of the storage compartment is provided with a drainage groove.

[0012] Preferably, a buffer pad is fitted to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and the buffer pad can fit against the inner wall of the compartment cover.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this patent are:

[0014] This device incorporates a cleaning mechanism within its compartment cover. This mechanism uses a vibrating motor to drive a connecting plate, which in turn uses brushes to clean the monitoring drone placed inside the compartment. This removes dust and other debris from the drone's exterior, preventing excessive dust from interfering with the acquisition and processing of visual information. This would make it difficult for the drone to accurately identify its surroundings, target objects, or landing point during flight, thus increasing flight risks.

[0015] In addition, the device is equipped with a vacuum cleaner on the storage compartment. The vacuum cleaner can suck up the dust that is swept up and discharge it outside the storage compartment, preventing the dust from falling back onto the monitoring drone. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of this patent embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this patent, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3 This patent provides a technical solution: a construction site drone monitoring device, including a storage compartment 1 and a monitoring drone 2. The storage compartment 1 is installed on an external fixed frame. The left and right sides of the storage compartment 1 are slidably installed with compartment covers 3. The monitoring drone 2 can be placed on top of the storage compartment 1. The two compartment covers 3 can cover the monitoring drone 2.

[0022] By controlling the monitoring drone 2 to fly above the construction site, the construction site can be monitored in real time through the image transmission camera on the monitoring drone 2.

[0023] The monitoring drones proposed in this article are typically equipped with high-precision mapping cameras, thermal imagers, lidar, and other professional sensors to meet specific needs such as terrain mapping, progress monitoring, and safety inspection at construction sites. For example, lidar can quickly acquire three-dimensional terrain data of the construction site, providing accurate basis for construction planning. At the same time, in order to fly stably and complete tasks in complex construction environments, they usually have higher flight stability, wind resistance, and longer endurance. For example, some construction monitoring drones adopt advanced flight control systems and multi-rotor designs, which can maintain stable flight under wind conditions of level 5 or above and have an endurance of more than 30 minutes, so as to monitor large-area construction sites for a long time.

[0024] After use, the monitoring drone 2 needs to be controlled to fly back to the storage compartment 1, and then the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 6 can be controlled to retract, so that the two compartment covers 3 are closed, and the compartment covers 3 cover the monitoring drone 2.

[0025] A cleaning mechanism 4 is installed on the inner wall of the compartment cover 3. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a spring 41, a connecting plate 42, bristles 43, a vibration motor 44, and a vacuum cleaner 45. One end of the spring 41 is installed on the inner wall of the compartment cover 3, and the connecting plate 42 is installed on the other end of the spring 41. The side wall of the connecting plate 42 is equipped with bristles 43, which can fit with the monitoring drone 2. The vibration motor 44 is fitted to the side wall of the connecting plate 42, and the vacuum cleaner 45 is installed on the outer wall of the compartment cover 3. Both the vibration motor 44 and the vacuum cleaner 45 are electrically connected to an external power source. The input end of the vacuum cleaner 45 passes through the side wall of the compartment cover 3 and is connected to the inner cavity of the compartment cover 3.

[0026] After the monitoring drone 2 is placed on the storage compartment 1 and the compartment cover 3 is closed, the vibration motor 44 can be started by the external controller, which drives the connecting plate 42 to vibrate. This causes the brush 43 on the outer wall of the connecting plate 42 to clean the dust on the outside of the monitoring drone 2. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner 45 is started, which can suck up the brushed dust and discharge it to the outside of the compartment cover 3 to avoid secondary pollution of the monitoring drone 2 by the dust.

[0027] Meanwhile, the connecting plate 42 in this article is set on the upper part of the monitoring drone 2, and its bristles 43 are relatively long, which can be used to clean the monitoring drone 2.

[0028] When the vibration motor 44 drives the connecting plate 42 to vibrate, the bristles 43 on the connecting plate 42 will generate high-frequency vibration. This vibration can make the bristles 43 contact the surface of the monitoring drone 2 and generate friction, thereby removing dust, impurities and other particles attached to the surface of the drone through mechanical action.

[0029] The material of bristles 43 needs to be soft enough to avoid scratching the surface of the monitoring drone 2, while also having sufficient elasticity and toughness to maintain a good shape and cleaning ability during vibration. In this article, bristles 43 are made of nylon.

[0030] Specifically, sealing gaskets 5 are fitted to the side walls of both compartment covers 3, and the two sealing gaskets 5 can fit together.

[0031] By setting the sealing gasket 5, the airtightness between the two compartment covers 3 after closing can be guaranteed, preventing the entry of external dust and causing contamination to the monitoring drone 2.

[0032] Specifically, a bidirectional electrically controlled telescopic rod 6 is installed on the lower wall of the accommodating compartment 1, and the two telescopic ends of the bidirectional electrically controlled telescopic rod 6 are respectively connected to the lower walls of the two compartment covers 3.

[0033] Specifically, connecting rods 7 are installed on the side walls of both compartment covers 3, and connecting grooves 8 are opened on the left and right side walls of the accommodating compartment 1. The connecting rods 7 can be inserted into the connecting grooves 8 and can slide within the connecting grooves 8.

[0034] The connecting rod 7 can guide and limit the cover 3 to prevent the cover 3 from tilting during the sliding process, which would prevent it from blocking the monitoring drone 2.

[0035] Specifically, the upper wall of the storage compartment 1 is equipped with a protrusion 9, the monitoring drone 2 is placed on the protrusion 9, and the upper wall of the storage compartment 1 is provided with a drainage channel 10.

[0036] By setting up the protrusion 9, the placement height of the monitoring drone 2 can be increased. The protrusion 9 can serve as a relatively independent platform to isolate the monitoring drone 2 from the water accumulation, debris, etc. that may exist at the bottom of the storage compartment 1, thereby reducing the risk of damage or corrosion to the drone.

[0037] Specifically, a buffer pad 11 is fitted to the outer wall of the connecting plate 42, and the buffer pad 11 can fit against the inner wall of the cover 3.

[0038] By setting the buffer pad 11, the connecting plate 42 can be prevented from directly contacting the compartment cover 3, thereby preventing excessive noise caused by collision.

[0039] Working principle: First, control the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 6 to extend, causing it to separate the two compartment covers 3, thereby exposing the monitoring drone 2. Then, control the monitoring drone 2 to fly above the construction site, and the image transmission camera on the monitoring drone 2 can monitor the construction site in real time.

[0040] After the inspection is completed, the monitoring drone 2 needs to be controlled to fly back to the storage compartment 1. Then, the bidirectional electric telescopic rod 6 can be controlled to retract, so that the two compartment covers 3 are closed, and the compartment covers 3 can block the monitoring drone 2.

[0041] After the monitoring drone 2 is placed on the protrusion 9 on the storage compartment 1 and the compartment cover 3 is closed, the vibration motor 44 can be started by the external controller, which drives the connecting plate 42 to vibrate. This causes the brush bristles 43 on the outer wall of the connecting plate 42 to clean the dust on the outside of the monitoring drone 2. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner 45 is started, which sucks in the brushed dust and discharges it to the outside of the compartment cover 3 to prevent the dust from causing secondary pollution to the monitoring drone 2.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this patent 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 patent. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this patent 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 patent. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
