Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, specifically relating to a structure that combines a reservoir intelligent inspection drone airport with a cultural wall. Background Technology
[0002] Dam safety is of paramount importance, and dam safety monitoring, as a crucial means of assessing dam safety, is receiving increasing attention. Inspection is the most important and direct method for determining the safety status of a dam. Currently, the inspection of dam defects and hazards still relies primarily on manual patrols, which suffers from drawbacks such as large blind spots, low efficiency, and high costs. Complex structural parts and steep slopes of retaining walls are difficult for personnel to fully cover. Utilizing drones for intelligent inspection of dam structures is one of the important trends in dam safety monitoring technology development in recent years, and also a key component of the Ministry of Water Resources' efforts to promote integrated "sky-ground-hydraulic engineering" monitoring and sensing.
[0003] In recent years, the use of drones for regular, automated inspections of reservoirs has become a modern and intelligent method, offering not only high efficiency and precision but also innovation and forward-looking capabilities. Drone reservoir inspections, acting as the "eyes in the sky" for smart water conservancy, are leveraging their unique advantages to safeguard reservoir safety.
[0004] Drone airports are generally located near the reservoir's key structures, depending on the reservoir's inspection range. Site selection needs to consider various factors such as hazards, electromagnetic interference, signal obstruction, noise, vandalism, and theft. Reservoir management areas usually choose flat office building rooftops, but office rooftops may have problems such as unevenness, insufficient roof load-bearing capacity, and high construction risks, making it difficult to find suitable airport sites in reservoir management areas.
[0005] Cultural walls are an effective medium for promoting water culture, showcasing the appearance of reservoirs, and enhancing their image. They are commonly used in reservoirs and scenic areas. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airports are a relatively new technology that enables unmanned operations and have a wide range of applications in fields such as inspection, surveying, and rescue.
[0006] Reservoirs possess excellent ecological functions, and the extensive reservoir wetlands and water conservation areas they form often become local scenic spots, serving as an effective means to meet the people's growing needs for a better life. The integration of a reservoir intelligent inspection drone airport with a cultural wall is necessary not only to ensure the drone's reservoir inspection capabilities but also to integrate the airport with the surrounding landscape and to disseminate water conservancy science and culture.

It proposes a structure that combines intelligent inspection drone airports with cultural walls, which not only solves the problem of drone airport site selection, but also enriches the function of cultural walls, making them a highlight of reservoir construction.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0009] The reservoir intelligent inspection drone airport is combined with a cultural wall in its layout. The cultural wall has a canopy, a drone support is mounted on the canopy, and a drone airport kit is installed on the drone support.
[0010] Furthermore, the drone airport kit is installed at the highest point of the cultural wall.
[0011] Furthermore, the cultural wall is set on the foundation, in which multiple anchor bolts are pre-embedded. The ceiling column is located inside the cultural wall, with its bottom fixed to the foundation and its top connected to the ceiling. The cultural wall, ceiling column, and foundation are tightly connected by anchor bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, the cultural wall includes a steel structural frame located inside the wall and stainless steel plates on the surface of the cavity.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model clearer, the following further elaborates the utility model with reference to the attached drawings.
[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a combined layout structure of an intelligent inspection drone airport for a reservoir and a cultural wall. A drone support 7 is welded on the ceiling 6 of the cultural wall 3, and a drone airport set 8 is installed on the drone support 7. Its main function is to combine and layout the intelligent inspection drone airport for the reservoir and the cultural wall, which not only solves the problem of the location selection of the drone airport, but also enriches the functions of the cultural wall, making it a highlight of the reservoir construction.
[0029] According to the form of the cultural wall, generally select the highest position of the cultural wall to set up the drone airport, and at the same time consider the influence of surrounding obstacles on the flight of the drone.
[0030] First, construct the cultural wall 3. After the construction of the cultural wall 3 is completed and maintained for a period of time, weld the drone support 7 on the ceiling 6 of the cultural wall 3, and install the drone airport set 8 on the drone support 7.
[0031] The construction of the cultural wall 3 mainly includes earthwork excavation, construction of reinforced concrete foundation 1, pre-embedded anchor bolts 2, construction of the cultural wall 3 wall, ceiling columns 4, ceiling support ribs 5, ceiling 6, drone bracket 7, lightning rod 10, etc. After the main structure is completed, the exterior decoration of the cultural wall and the installation of LED screen 9 will be carried out.
[0032] The foundation for the junction of the drone airport and the cultural wall is a reinforced concrete foundation. The reinforced concrete foundation 1 measures 600mm*1500mm*1500mm and uses C30 grade concrete. It bears the load transmitted from the cultural wall 3 to the foundation. Considering the greater load on the cultural wall at the junction with the drone airport, the foundation at this junction is larger and deeper than other parts of the cultural wall. The foundation for the junction of the drone airport and the cultural wall should be larger than the foundations for other parts of the cultural wall to meet the bearing capacity requirements. During the construction of the cultural wall 3, the locations for fiber optic cables, power cables, lightning protection grounding, and other facilities should be reserved in advance.
[0033] The ceiling at the junction of the drone airport and the cultural wall should be thicker than the foundation of other parts of the cultural wall to meet the load-bearing requirements.
[0034] The anchor bolts 2 include anchor bolts for parts such as the ceiling column 4 and the keel of the cultural wall 3. All anchor bolts 2 should be pre-embedded before the concrete of the reinforced concrete foundation 1 is poured. The top of some anchor bolts 2 is connected to the bottom of the cultural wall 3, and the top of other anchor bolts 2 is connected to the bottom of the ceiling column 4.
[0035] The cultural wall 3 is 3.12m high and 13.68m long, and consists of an internal steel frame and an external stainless steel plate.
[0036] The aforementioned ceiling column 4 is a 200*200*10mm galvanized square steel pipe, whose main function is to provide support for the ceiling 6. It is tightly connected to the reinforced concrete foundation 1 through anchor bolts 2. The anchor bolts of the ceiling column 4 are made of 1.0m long Φ18mm threaded steel.
[0037] The aforementioned roof support ribs 5 are welded to the roof columns 4 and the roof 6 to increase the rigidity and strength of the structure, making the structure more stable.
[0038] The canopy 6 is made of 1.2mm galvanized steel sheet welded on the outside, and the internal keel is made of square steel pipes. The canopy 6 of the UAV airport section is thickened to ensure that it meets the load-bearing requirements of the UAV airport kit 8. The canopy 6 of the UAV airport section is flat.
[0039] The drone support 7 measures 400mm*400mm*300mm and is constructed from 304 stainless steel square tubing, welded together to the canopy 6. The drone support 7 includes a flat plate and multiple support legs that support the plate. The flat plate is used to mount the drone airport kit 8.
[0040] The aforementioned drone airport kit 8 is a purchased complete set of equipment, which is installed on the drone bracket 7.
[0041] The LED screen 9 is an outdoor display screen installed on the cultural wall 3, which can display aerial footage from the drone airport kit 8.
[0042] The lightning rod 10 is installed above the cultural wall 3. Specifically, the lightning rod 10 is installed on the ceiling 6. The lightning rod 10 is introduced into the ground through the grounding busbar and also serves as the lightning protection grounding facility for the UAV airport kit 8.
[0043] To enhance the protection of drone airports and cultural walls, video surveillance facilities and warning signs can be installed in appropriate locations to prevent damage.
[0044] To enhance the protection of the reservoir intelligent inspection drone airport, baffles can be installed on the sides or around the drone support 7. The baffles can be made of tempered glass, and the bottom of the baffles can be fixed to the canopy 6.
