Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meteorological observation, specifically a satellite positioning-assisted low-altitude meteorological observation device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of meteorological observation, meteorological data in the low-altitude region is of great significance for weather forecasting, climate research, disaster prevention and mitigation. Traditional low-altitude meteorological observations mostly rely on ground stations, tethered balloons, or manned aircraft. Ground station observations can continuously and stably acquire meteorological data for fixed areas, providing solid basic data for long-term meteorological change research. Tethered balloons, with their relatively simple operation, can achieve meteorological monitoring of specific areas within a certain altitude range, and the cost is relatively controllable, making them suitable for small-scale, targeted observation tasks.
[0003] Existing low-altitude and satellite meteorological integrated monitoring devices are often limited by terrain and landforms when conducting low-altitude operations, and their lack of portability greatly increases the difficulty of low-altitude detection operations. This is mainly reflected in the fact that the monitoring instruments are inconvenient to move and carry. In view of this, the inventors urgently need to design a satellite positioning-assisted low-altitude meteorological observation device. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a satellite positioning-assisted low-altitude meteorological observation device to solve the technical problems of meteorological observation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a satellite positioning-assisted low-altitude meteorological observation device, comprising a drone body, a meteorological monitoring instrument mounted on one side of the upper part of the drone body, a support base mounted on the lower part of the meteorological monitoring instrument, an electric telescopic rod and an elastic telescopic rod mounted on the lower part of the support base, the electric telescopic rod having a telescopic rod motor inside for driving the electric telescopic rod to rise and fall, the electric telescopic rod being able to drive the elastic telescopic rod to rise and fall synchronously.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the meteorological monitoring instrument is connected to the electric telescopic rod and the elastic telescopic rod through the support base. It can be raised and lowered under the drive of the telescopic rod motor, which avoids long-term exposure to the external environment, reduces the corrosion of the equipment by dust, water vapor and other factors, and extends its service life.
[0007] Furthermore, the meteorological monitoring instrument is equipped with a cover plate on its upper part, so that the meteorological monitoring instrument can fit into the surface of the drone body when it is retracted into the cabin.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate can fit into the surface of the drone body to form a closed structure, preventing dust, sand, rainwater and other impurities from entering the cabin when not in operation, avoiding impurities from adhering to the sensors of the weather monitoring instrument and affecting the measurement accuracy. At the same time, the cover plate can enhance the integrity of the drone body surface and reduce air resistance during flight.
[0009] Furthermore, the meteorological monitoring instrument is equipped with a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a pressure sensor.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, core meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure in the low-altitude region can be monitored simultaneously, meeting the diverse needs of basic meteorological observation and providing comprehensive data support for low-altitude meteorological analysis. At the same time, the integration of multiple sensors into the same monitoring instrument enables the synchronous acquisition of different meteorological parameters in the same time and space, ensuring the correlation and consistency of the data.
[0011] Furthermore, a mapping camera is installed on the lower part of the main body of the drone.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a mapping camera is installed at the lower part of the human-machine body, which can simultaneously capture and map the topography, landforms and other geographical information of the observation area while conducting low-altitude meteorological observations. This provides a geographical background reference for meteorological data and facilitates the analysis of the relationship between meteorological elements and topographic features. At the same time, the mapping camera works in conjunction with the meteorological monitoring instrument, which enriches the function of the device.
[0013] Furthermore, an antenna is provided at one end of the upper part of the drone body.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, an antenna is installed at one end of the upper part of the UAV body, which can receive satellite positioning signals to achieve precise positioning of the UAV's location. This enables the observed meteorological data to be accurately matched with specific geographical locations, clarify the spatial distribution characteristics of meteorological elements, and enhance the application value of the data.
[0015] Furthermore, the four corners of the drone body are connected to arms, the far end of the arms is equipped with a motor, the lower end of the motor is equipped with a landing bracket root, and the four corners of the drone body are equipped with arm storage slots.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the landing gear at the lower end of the motor plays a supporting role when the drone takes off and lands, preventing the main body of the drone and the mapping camera at the bottom from directly contacting the ground, and preventing ground debris from causing wear or collision damage to the equipment. In addition, arm storage slots are set at the four corners of the drone body, and the arms can be stored in the slots when not in operation, which greatly reduces the overall size of the drone, making it easy to carry and transport, and is especially suitable for mobile deployment in complex terrain.
[0017] Furthermore, the upper end of the motor is provided with a propeller frame, and propellers are provided on both sides of the propeller. The propeller frame is provided with propeller storage slots on both sides.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor can provide flight power for the main body of the UAV, ensuring stable flight of the device in low-altitude areas and meeting the mobile needs of meteorological observation. At the same time, the propeller storage slots on both sides of the propeller frame can store the propeller in the non-working state, reducing the overall volume of the device and facilitating transportation and storage.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0020] 1. This utility model, by installing a meteorological monitoring instrument on the upper part of the drone body and combining it with an electric telescopic rod and an elastic telescopic rod, realizes the flexible adjustment of the height of the meteorological monitoring instrument on the drone body. It allows the meteorological monitoring instrument to be retracted when not measuring, and exposed to the atmosphere when working, effectively avoiding the loss of durability caused by exposure to the atmosphere during non-working time.
[0021] 2. This utility model provides physical protection for the meteorological monitoring instrument by providing a cover plate on the upper part of the instrument. When the instrument is retracted and stored in the cabin, the cover plate fits snugly with the main body of the drone, thus preventing dust, sand, rainwater and other impurities from falling on the instrument's components during non-measurement periods, which could affect the sensitivity and accuracy of the sensors.

An electric telescopic rod 13 and an elastic telescopic rod 14 are located at the lower part of the support base. The electric telescopic rod 13 has a telescopic rod motor 15 inside, which is used to drive the electric telescopic rod 13 to rise and fall. The electric telescopic rod 13 can drive the elastic telescopic rod to rise and fall synchronously. By adopting the above technical solution, the meteorological monitoring instrument 2 is connected to the electric telescopic rod 13 and the elastic telescopic rod 14 through the support base 12. It can rise and fall under the drive of the telescopic rod motor 15, avoiding long-term exposure to the external environment, reducing the corrosion of the equipment by dust, water vapor, etc., and extending its service life. Furthermore, it realizes that when not measuring, the monitoring instrument can be retracted and completely stored in the cabin, and when measuring, the sensor is raised to be fully exposed to the atmosphere.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A cover plate 16 is provided on the upper part of the meteorological monitoring instrument 2, so that the meteorological monitoring instrument 2 can fit with the surface of the drone body 1 when it is retracted into the cabin. By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate 16 can fit with the surface of the drone body 1 to form a closed structure, preventing dust, sand, rainwater and other impurities from entering the cabin when not in operation, and avoiding impurities from adhering to the sensors of the meteorological monitoring instrument 2 and affecting the measurement accuracy. At the same time, the cover plate 16 can enhance the integrity of the surface of the drone body 1, reduce air resistance during flight and further improve the stability of the drone flight, and prevent collisions during transportation or storage from damaging the equipment.
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The meteorological monitoring instrument 2 is equipped with temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solutions, it can simultaneously monitor core meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure in the low-altitude area, meeting the diverse needs of basic meteorological observation and providing comprehensive data support for low-altitude meteorological analysis. At the same time, the integration of multiple sensors into the same monitoring instrument enables the synchronous acquisition of different meteorological parameters in the same time and space, ensuring the correlation and consistency of data, further avoiding spatiotemporal deviations caused by separate equipment measurements, and improving the scientific nature and application value of the data.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A mapping camera 10 is installed at the lower part of the main body 1 of the UAV. By adopting the above technical solution, the mapping camera 10 installed at the lower part of the main body 1 of the UAV can simultaneously capture and map the topography, landform and other geographical information of the observation area while conducting low-altitude meteorological observations. This provides a geographical background reference for meteorological data and facilitates the analysis of the relationship between meteorological elements and topographic features. At the same time, the mapping camera 10 works in conjunction with the meteorological monitoring instrument 2, which enriches the function of the device. It can not only complete meteorological observation tasks, but also assist in obtaining regional geographical information, thereby improving the overall practicality of the device.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 An antenna 11 is installed at one end of the upper part of the UAV body 1. By adopting the above technical solution, the antenna 11 installed at one end of the upper part of the UAV body 1 can receive satellite positioning signals, realize the accurate positioning of the UAV position, enable the observed meteorological data to be accurately matched with the specific geographical location, clarify the spatial distribution characteristics of meteorological elements, and enhance the application value of the data. Furthermore, the antenna 11 can realize the signal transmission between the UAV and the ground control terminal, which facilitates the ground to monitor the flight status and observation data of the UAV in real time, realize remote control and real-time data transmission, and enhance the controllability and operational efficiency of the device.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The drone body 1 has four arms 6 connected to its four corners. Motors 5 are located at the far ends of the arms, and landing gear 8 are located at the lower ends of the motors 5. Arm storage slots 9 are located at the four corners of the drone body 1. By adopting the above technical solution, the landing gear 8 at the lower ends of the motors 5 provide support during drone take-off and landing, preventing the drone body 1 and the mapping camera 10 at the bottom from directly contacting the ground and preventing ground debris from causing wear or collision damage to the equipment. In addition, the arm storage slots 9 at the four corners of the drone body 1 allow the arms 6 to be stored in the slots when not in use, greatly reducing the overall size of the drone and making it easier to carry and transport. This is especially suitable for mobile deployment in complex terrain. At the same time, the arms 6 can be stably fixed in the slots, preventing the arms 6 from shaking and colliding with other components during transportation, protecting the body components, and ensuring that the equipment can be deployed and operated normally the next time it is used.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The motor 5 has a propeller frame 4 at its upper end and propellers 3 on both sides of the propeller. The propeller frame 4 has propeller storage slots 7 on both sides. By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 5 can provide flight power for the main body of the UAV 1, ensuring stable flight of the device in the low-altitude area and meeting the mobile needs of meteorological observation. At the same time, the propeller storage slots 7 on both sides of the propeller frame 4 can store the propellers 3 when not in operation, reducing the overall size of the device, facilitating transportation and storage, and preventing the propellers 3 from being damaged by collisions due to exposure, thus extending the service life of the propellers 3.
