Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of information acquisition device technology, and in particular to an image processing information acquisition device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology
[0002] Drones can acquire high-resolution images, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of satellite remote sensing, which often cannot obtain images due to cloud cover, but also solves the problems of long revisit cycles and untimely emergency response in traditional satellite remote sensing.
[0003] Existing drone image processing and information acquisition devices are located at high altitudes when acquiring images. If they encounter clouds or cold air, water mist can easily form on the surface of the camera, affecting information acquisition. At the same time, after the water mist evaporates, it can also leave watermarks on the lens, causing dust in the air to easily adhere to the lens and block it. This requires the drone to be retrieved and the lens cleaned, which is very troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0023] In this embodiment, an electric push rod 11 is fixedly installed on the left side inside the fixed cover 5, and a connecting rod 15 is movably installed on the right side inside the fixed cover 5 corresponding to the position of the rotating rod 6. The top end of the connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6. A movable block 12 is provided above the rotating rod 6. The left end of the movable block 12 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 11. A toothed ring 16 is fixedly installed on the connecting rod 15 corresponding to the position of the movable block 12. A rack 14 is fixedly installed below the movable block 12. The rack 14 meshes with the connecting rod 15. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 will push the movable block 12 to the right. The rack 14 on the movable block 12 meshes with the toothed ring 16, which can drive the toothed ring 16 to control the rotation of the connecting rod 15. When the connecting rod 15 rotates, it can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The sponge block 9 on the rotating rod 6 can absorb water mist or clean dust from the surface of the outer cover 4.
[0024] In this embodiment, a movable groove 17 is provided on the top side of the connecting block 7, and a locking block 18 is movably installed in the movable groove 17. The top of the locking block 18 is arc-shaped, and a spring 19 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the locking block 18 and the movable groove 17. A locking groove 21 is provided on the connecting cover 20 at the position corresponding to the locking block 18. The top of the locking block 18 can be locked into the locking groove 21. When the connecting block 7 is fully inserted into the connecting cover 20, the locking block 18 will be aligned with the locking groove 21. The spring 19 will push the locking block 18 into the locking groove 21, thereby limiting the connecting block 7 in the connecting cover 20 and fixing the outer cover 4 on the information collector 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, a wireless switch 13 is fixedly installed inside the fixed cover 5. The wireless switch 13 can be connected to the power supply of the drone body 1 via a connecting cable. The wireless switch 13 is also connected to the electric push rod 11. The wireless switch 13 can control the electric push rod 11. The power supply of the drone body 1 can be controlled by the wireless switch 13 to drive the electric push rod 11 to work. The wireless switch 13 can be remotely controlled.
[0026] In this embodiment, the length of the rack 14 is equal to one-quarter of the outer circumference of the toothed ring 16, and the rack 14 can control the toothed ring 16 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise.
[0027] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: When in use, the outer cover 4 is placed on the outside of the camera of the information collector 3. At this time, the connecting block 7 on the outer cover 4 will be inserted into the connecting cover 20. When the connecting block 7 is fully inserted into the connecting cover 20, the locking block 18 will be aligned with the locking slot 21. The spring 19 will push the locking block 18 into the locking slot 21, thereby limiting the connecting block 7 in the connecting cover 20, so that the outer cover 4 is fixed on the information collector 3. The outer cover 4 can protect the camera on the information collector 3 and extend the service life of the information collector 3.
[0028] When water mist or dust adheres to the outside of the outer cover 4, affecting information collection, the wireless switch 13 is connected to the power supply of the drone body 1 via a connecting cable. At the same time, the wireless switch 13 is also connected to the electric push rod 11. The wireless switch 13 can control the power supply of the drone body 1 to drive the electric push rod 11 to work. The wireless switch 13 can be remotely controlled. When cleaning is needed, the electric push rod 11 is started by the wireless switch 13. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 will push the movable block 12 to the right. The rack 14 on the movable block 12 meshes with the toothed ring 16, which can drive the toothed ring 16 to control the connecting rod 15 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise. When the connecting rod 15 rotates, it can drive the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The sponge block 9 on the rotating rod 6 can absorb the water mist on the surface of the outer cover 4 or sweep away the dust. Then the telescopic end of the electric push rod 11 will drive the movable block 12 to reset. At this time, the connecting rod 15 will also drive the rotating rod 6 to reset. Thus, the water mist and dust on the outside of the outer cover 4 can be cleaned remotely without having to retrieve the drone for cleaning, which is very convenient.
[0029] When the drone is retrieved, the used sponge block 9 can be quickly removed for cleaning and maintenance by pulling the fixing block 8 out of the fixing slot 10, making it convenient for the next use.
