Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mine topographic surveying drone technology, specifically a mine topographic surveying drone equipped with a landing buffer structure. Background Technology
[0002] Mine terrain surveying drones are used to survey mine terrain and facilitate data analysis. They can quickly cover large mining areas and complete terrain surveys in a short time. Compared with traditional manual surveying, they are much more efficient, reduce manual fieldwork, lower labor costs and equipment investment, and have low operation and maintenance costs. However, when drones take off, they raise dust around them, which may damage the lens of the surveyor at the bottom of the drone, thus affecting the effectiveness of the mine terrain survey.
[0003] For example, the remote sensing geological survey device proposed in announcement number CN222202944U improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device by setting up a rotating rod, a base plate, and a rope-winding column. The rotating rod is connected to the support column through a universal ball joint, allowing the base plate to rotate freely in multiple directions. This greatly enhances the stability and survey effect of the device on different terrains. Whether on rugged mountains or flat ground, the base plate can maintain good contact with the ground, ensuring the accuracy of the survey data. At the same time, it effectively protects the UAV and hyperspectral survey instrument during flight. However, the above-mentioned existing technology has the following technical problems: when the UAV is not in use, the protection of the survey equipment is insufficient. If the storage time is too long, dust will accumulate on the lens of the survey equipment, affecting the survey effect of the UAV in the later stage. Moreover, the buffer effect is poor, and the UAV will be subjected to a large impact when landing, thereby damaging the UAV and increasing the maintenance cost of the UAV. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mine terrain surveying drone with a landing buffer structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as insufficient protection of surveying equipment when the drone is not in use, dust accumulation on the lens of the surveying equipment when left unused for a long time, affecting the surveying effect of the drone in the later stage, and poor buffer effect, which causes the drone to be subjected to a large impact when landing, thereby damaging the drone and increasing the maintenance cost of the drone.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mine terrain surveying drone with a landing buffer structure, comprising a drone body, a first support rod installed at the bottom of the drone body, and a surveyor installed at the bottom of the drone body, a guide rod slidably connected to the bottom of the first support rod, and a support base installed at the bottom of the guide rod, a spring elastically connected inside the first support rod, a fixed block connected to one end of the spring, a movable rod fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block, and a first connecting rod installed at the upper end of the movable rod.
[0006] Preferably, the first support rod and the guide rod are in a sliding structure, and the fixed block, the spring and the first support rod are in an elastic sliding structure, the movable rod and the first support rod are in a sliding structure, and the first connecting rod and the first support rod are in a sliding structure.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone lands, the support base contacts the ground first, causing the guide rod on the support base to move upward, thereby causing the guide rod to abut against the fixed block, and the fixed block to abut against the spring, thus achieving a buffering effect. This makes the drone more stable when landing, prevents the drone from being subjected to a large impact during landing, reduces the drone's maintenance costs, and allows for better surveying of the mine terrain by installing a surveying device at the bottom of the drone.
[0008] Preferably, a second connecting rod is installed at one end of the first connecting rod, a rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the second connecting rod, a movable plate is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating plate, and the movable plate is slidably connected to a groove inside the UAV body.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone lands, the guide rod abuts against the fixed block, and the fixed block abuts against the movable rod, thereby causing the movable rod to move upward. The movable rod then drives the first connecting rod to move upward, and at the same time, the first connecting rod drives the second connecting rod to move upward, thereby causing the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate then drives the movable plate to slide inside the drone body, so that the two movable plates move closer to each other, thereby protecting the lens of the surveying equipment.
[0010] Preferably, the second connecting rod and the rotating plate are in a rotating structure, the second rotating plate and the movable plate are in a rotating structure, and the movable plate and the slide groove inside the UAV body are in a sliding structure.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second connecting rod moves upward, the rotating plate rotates outside the second connecting rod, and at the same time, the other end of the rotating plate rotates with the movable plate, thereby causing the movable plate to slide.
[0012] Preferably, a second support plate is installed on one side of the support base, a damper is installed at the upper end of the second support rod, and a damper is installed inside the UAV body.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone lands, the support base contacts the ground, causing the support base to push the second support rod upward. The second support rod slides inside the drone body, and the damper at the upper end of the second support rod provides the first buffer for the drone body, enabling the drone to land safely, improving the landing stability of the drone and reducing the maintenance cost of the drone.
[0014] Preferably, a second support rod is slidably connected inside the UAV body, and a surveyor is installed on one side of the second support rod.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the second support plate moves upward, it drives the surveyor to move upward, thereby moving the surveyor into the interior of the drone, thus protecting the surveyor. When the drone takes off, the support base drives the second support rod to slowly descend, allowing the surveyor at the bottom of the drone to slowly emerge from the interior of the drone, thereby preventing the dust raised by the drone during takeoff from damaging the survey lens and reducing maintenance costs.
[0016] Preferably, the UAV body and the second support rod are in a sliding structure, and the UAV body and the surveyor are in a sliding structure.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drone is not in use, the second support rod moves upward by the drone's own gravity, thereby moving the surveyor upward and allowing the surveyor to enter the drone's interior. This protects the surveyor and prevents the lens of the surveyor from accumulating a large amount of dust when the drone is not used for a long time, which would affect the next use of the drone for surveying.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the mine topographic surveying drone can protect the surveyor on the drone when it is not in use, prevent dust from accumulating on the surveyor, reduce the maintenance cost of the drone, and prevent sand and gravel kicked up by the drone from colliding with the surveyor when the drone takes off, effectively protecting the surveyor. At the same time, it can effectively buffer the landing when the drone is landing, preventing the drone from being subjected to a large impact. If the impact force is large during landing, it can protect the surveyor and reduce the maintenance cost of the surveyor.
[0019] 1. A damper is installed. When the drone lands, the support seat line contacts the ground. At this time, the support seat drives the second support rod to move upward, so that the second support rod slides inside the drone body. This causes the second support rod to squeeze the damper, achieving the first buffering effect and effectively reducing the impact force on the drone during landing. In addition, the second support rod drives the surveyor to move upward, so that the surveyor enters the drone, achieving the protection of the surveyor.
[0020] 2. Equipped with a spring, when the drone lands, if improper operation causes the drone to land too fast, the guide rod will press against the fixing block, causing the fixing block to compress the spring, thus achieving a second buffering effect and effectively avoiding the impact force on the drone.
[0021] 3. Equipped with movable plates, when the drone descends at a relatively high speed, the movable rod drives the first and second connecting rods to move upwards. At the same time, the second connecting rod drives the rotating plate to rotate, causing the two movable plates to move relative to each other. At this time, the two movable plates protect the lens of the retracted surveyor, improving the safety of the surveyor and effectively reducing the maintenance cost of the surveyor.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4As shown, existing mine terrain surveying drones have poor buffering effects, resulting in significant impacts during landing and damage to the drone, thus increasing maintenance costs. To address this technical problem, this embodiment discloses the following technical content: a mine terrain surveying drone with a landing buffer structure, including a drone body 1, a first support rod 2 mounted on the bottom of the drone body 1, and a surveyor 13 mounted on the bottom of the drone body 1. A guide rod 3 is slidably connected to the bottom of the first support rod 2, and a support base 4 is mounted on the bottom of the guide rod 3. The first support rod 2 is internally elastically connected to... Spring 5, one end of spring 5 is connected to fixed block 11, fixed upper end of fixed block 11 is fixedly connected to movable rod 6, first connecting rod 7 is installed on upper end of movable rod 6, first support rod 2 and guide rod 3 are in sliding structure, fixed block 11, spring 5 and first support rod 2 are in elastic sliding structure, movable rod 6 and first support rod 2 are in sliding structure, at the same time first connecting rod 7 and first support rod 2 are in sliding structure, one end of first connecting rod 7 is installed with second connecting rod 12, second connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to rotating plate 8, one end of rotating plate 8 is rotatably connected to movable plate 9, and movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the sliding groove inside the UAV body 1;
[0031] When the drone lands, the support base 4 contacts the ground first, causing the second support rod 14 to move upward. At this time, the damper 10 is compressed above the second support rod 14, thus achieving the first buffering effect and effectively reducing the impact force on the drone body 1 during landing. The second support rod 14 also causes the surveyor 13 to move upward, allowing it to enter the drone body 1 and providing protection. As the drone's landing speed increases, the guide rod 3 on the support base 4 moves upward, causing it to press against the fixing block 11, which in turn presses against the spring. 5. This achieves a second buffering effect, making the drone body 1 more stable when landing, preventing the drone body 1 from being subjected to a large impact during landing, reducing the maintenance cost of the drone body 1. At the same time, the fixed block 11 abuts against the movable rod 6, causing the movable rod 6 to move upward. Then, the movable rod 6 drives the first connecting rod 7 to move upward. At the same time, the first connecting rod 7 drives the second connecting rod 12 to move upward, causing the rotating plate 8 to rotate. The rotating plate 8 then drives the movable plate 9 to slide inside the drone body 1, so that the two movable plates 9 move closer to each other, thereby protecting the lens of the surveyor 13.
[0032] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1. In the prior art, when the drone is not in use, the protection for the surveying equipment is insufficient. Prolonged storage can cause dust to accumulate on the lens of the surveying equipment, affecting the subsequent surveying results of the drone. To further solve this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content: Figure 4-6 As shown, the second connecting rod 12 and the rotating plate 8 are in a rotating structure, and the second rotating plate 8 and the movable plate 9 are in a rotating structure. The movable plate 9 and the sliding groove inside the UAV body 1 are in a sliding structure. A second support rod 14 is installed on one side of the support base 4. A damper 10 is installed on the upper end of the second support rod 14. The damper 10 is installed inside the UAV body 1. The second support rod 14 is slidably connected inside the UAV body 1. A surveyor 13 is installed on one side of the second support rod 14. The UAV body 1 and the second support rod 14 are in a sliding structure. The UAV body 1 and the surveyor 13 are in a sliding structure.
[0033] When the drone is not in use, the second support rod 14 moves upward due to the weight of the drone body 1, thereby moving the surveyor 13 upward and allowing it to enter the drone body 1. This protects the surveyor 13 and prevents dust accumulation on its lens from affecting future surveys when the drone has not been used for a long time. When the drone takes off, the support base 4 drives the second support rod 14 to slowly descend, allowing the surveyor 13 at the lower end of the drone body 1 to gradually emerge from inside the drone body 1. This prevents dust kicked up by the drone body 1 during takeoff from damaging the lens of the surveyor 13 and reduces maintenance costs.
[0034] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
