Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring device technology, and in particular to a remote sensing monitoring device for soil and water conservation. Background Technology

[0002] The soil and water conservation remote sensing monitoring device is a specialized device that combines remote sensing technology, sensor technology, and data transmission technology to monitor soil erosion, the effectiveness of soil and water conservation measures, and related ecological and environmental parameters. It captures information such as topography, vegetation cover, soil erosion, and hydrological changes in the monitored area through non-contact remote sensing methods (such as satellite remote sensing, UAV remote sensing, and ground remote sensing equipment), providing data support and decision-making basis for soil and water conservation work.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222212765U discloses a monitoring drone for soil and water conservation, comprising a drone body and a passive bevel gear. The drone body has multiple legs at its bottom, and a first sliding shell is slidably mounted on each leg. A first electric push rod is connected between the top of the first sliding shell and the legs. A first motor is housed inside the first sliding shell, and the first motor is connected to a first drill rod rotatably mounted on the bottom of the first sliding shell. The passive bevel gear is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the drone body. A drive assembly is connected between the passive bevel gear and the drone body. The moving component can drive the passive bevel gear to rotate at the bottom of the UAV body. The bottom of the passive bevel gear is provided with a second electric push rod, a guide rod and a third electric push rod. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod is provided with a soil moisture sensor. The soil moisture sensor has a monitoring probe. A second sliding shell is slidably sleeved on the guide rod. The top of the second sliding shell is connected to the telescopic end of the third electric push rod. A second motor is provided inside the second sliding shell. The second motor is connected to a second drill rod. The second drill rod is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the second sliding shell. The second drill rod and the second electric push rod are symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the passive bevel gear.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: In the above-mentioned equipment, if the monitoring probe needs to monitor information such as terrain, vegetation cover, soil erosion, and hydrological changes in a comprehensive manner, the staff can only adjust the angle of the monitoring probe by adjusting the position of the drone, which is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a remote sensing monitoring device for soil and water conservation.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a soil and water conservation remote sensing monitoring device, including a drone and a monitoring probe installed on the bottom of the drone for monitoring the terrain. The bottom of the drone is fixed with a fixing plate, and the fixing plate is provided with a drive mechanism for controlling the rotation or pitch swing of the monitoring probe.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when staff need to monitor soil and water, they only need to control the drone to hover at a designated height using a joystick, and then control the drive mechanism using the joystick to rotate or tilt the monitoring probe to a suitable position, so as to conduct comprehensive monitoring of soil and water. This application changes the traditional design method where the angle of the monitoring probe can only be adjusted by operating the drone's orientation, reducing the number of steps required by staff and improving monitoring efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a transmission assembly, which includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the bottom of the fixed plate, a worm gear fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod, a connecting rod fixed to the lower end of the rotating rod, a drive motor fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate, and a worm fixed to the output end of the drive motor and meshing with the worm gear. The drive mechanism also includes a connecting assembly for connecting the monitoring probe to the connecting rod.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff can control the operation of the drive motor with a remote control. The drive motor drives the worm fixed to it, the worm wheel meshing with the worm, the rotating rod fixed to the worm wheel, and the connecting rod fixed to the rotating rod to rotate, thereby causing the connecting assembly to drive the monitoring probe to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a ball fixed to the lower end of the connecting rod, an outer sleeve fitted on the ball, and a mounting plate fixedly fitted on the outer sleeve. The diameters of the openings at both ends of the outer sleeve are smaller than the diameter of the ball. A support plate is fixed on the rotating rod. The driving mechanism also includes an adjusting assembly disposed on the support plate and used to drive the mounting plate to swing around the axis of the ball.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixed with multiple mounting posts, the lower ends of the multiple mounting posts are jointly fixed with a V-shaped protective plate, the bottom of the V-shaped protective plate is fixed with a fixing post, and the bottom of the fixing post is connected to the top of the monitoring probe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the V-shaped protective plate effectively guides the water flow, reducing the probability of rainwater dripping onto the monitoring probe and causing it to become damp and damaged.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes two fixed blocks fixed to the bottom of the support plate, and the adjustment assembly also includes an electric push rod hinged between the two fixed blocks, the lower end of which is hinged to the top of the mounting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the staff drives the drive motor to rotate the connecting rod, the connecting rod drives the sphere and mounting plate fixed to it to rotate. The outer sleeve rotates synchronously with the mounting plate under the connection of the electric push rod, thereby driving the rotation of the monitoring probe and realizing the rotation adjustment of the monitoring probe. When the staff needs to adjust the pitch of the monitoring probe, they only need to control the electric push rod with the remote handle. The electric push rod controls the mounting plate and the outer sleeve to swing around the axis of the sphere, thereby causing the mounting plate to drive the monitoring probe to swing around the axis of the sphere, thus realizing the pitch angle adjustment of the monitoring probe, expanding the coverage of soil and water monitoring, and facilitating the remote sensing monitoring of soil and water conservation monitoring points by the monitoring device.

[0015] Furthermore, a corrugated pipe covering the outside of the fixing block and the electric push rod is fixed between the support plate and the mounting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the corrugated pipe provides good protection for the electric linear actuator, reducing the probability of the electric linear actuator being damaged by moisture during use.

[0017] Furthermore, a mounting shell is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate, and the drive motor, worm gear and worm wheel are all located inside the mounting shell. The rotating rod passes through the bottom of the mounting shell and is clearance-fitted. The bottom of the mounting shell is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and designing the mounting shell, the motor, worm gear, and worm wheel are prevented from being exposed to the air, providing excellent protection for them and ensuring the normal operation of the device. Simultaneously, during the drone's flight, the heat dissipation holes effectively dissipate heat, reducing the probability of the drive motor overheating and causing malfunctions.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting cover is fixed to the lower end of the fixing column, the top of the monitoring probe is fixed to the inner top wall of the mounting cover, an independent storage battery electrically connected to the monitoring probe is fixed inside the mounting cover, and a transparent protective cover is provided at the bottom of the mounting cover, with both the independent storage battery and the monitoring probe located inside the transparent protective cover.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation cover and transparent protective cover provide a closed space for the independent battery and monitoring probe, reducing the probability of rainwater and other debris entering the interior and causing the independent battery and monitoring probe to be damaged by moisture.

[0021] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: when staff need to monitor soil and water, they only need to control the drone to hover at a specified height using a remote control, and then control the drive mechanism using the remote control to drive the monitoring probe to rotate or pitch to a suitable position, so as to monitor soil and water in all aspects.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] like Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, this application discloses a remote sensing monitoring device for soil and water conservation, including a drone 1 and a drive mechanism 2. A monitoring probe 11 (which can be a Sony DSC-RX1RII model) is mounted on the bottom of the drone 1. The monitoring probe 11 is used to monitor the terrain. A mounting plate 12 is fixed to the bottom of the drone 1. The drive mechanism 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 12 and is used to control the rotation or pitch swing of the monitoring probe 11. The drive mechanism 2 includes a transmission component 21, a connecting component 22, and an adjustment component 23.

[0031] The transmission assembly 21 includes a rotating rod 211, a worm gear 212, a connecting rod 213, a drive motor 214, and a worm 215. The rotating rod 211 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the fixed plate 12, and a support plate 2111 is fixed to the rotating rod 211. The worm gear 212 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 211, and the axis of the worm gear 212 coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 211. The connecting rod 213 is fixed to the lower end of the rotating rod 211, and the axis of the connecting rod 213 coincides with the axis of the rotating rod 211. The drive motor 214 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed plate 12, and the axis of the output end of the drive motor 214 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating rod 211. The worm 215 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 214 and meshes with the worm gear 212; the axis of the worm 215 coincides with the axis of the output end of the drive motor 214.

[0032] The connecting assembly 22 is used to connect the monitoring probe 11 to the connecting rod 213. The connecting assembly 22 includes a ball 221, an outer sleeve 222, and a mounting plate 223. The ball 221 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting rod 213, and the outer surface of the ball 221 is spherical. The outer sleeve 222 is fitted onto the ball 221, and the axis of the outer sleeve 222 coincides with the axis of the ball 221. The diameters of the openings at both ends of the outer sleeve 222 are smaller than the diameter of the ball 221. The mounting plate 223 is fixedly fitted onto the outer sleeve 222.

[0033] In this embodiment, mounting posts 2231 are fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 223, and multiple mounting posts 2231 are provided. A V-shaped protective plate 3 is fixed to the lower end of each of the multiple mounting posts 2231. The V-shaped protective plate 3 has a V-shaped cross-section. A fixing post 4 is fixed to the bottom of the V-shaped protective plate 3, and the bottom of the fixing post 4 is connected to the top of the monitoring probe 11. The V-shaped protective plate 3 effectively guides water flow, reducing the probability of rainwater dripping onto the monitoring probe 11 and causing moisture damage.

[0034] An adjustment assembly 23 is mounted on a support plate 2111 and is used to drive the mounting plate 223 to swing around the axis of the sphere 221. The adjustment assembly 23 includes a fixing block 231 and an electric push rod 232. The fixing block 231 is fixed to the bottom of the support plate 2111, and there are two fixing blocks 231 symmetrically distributed. The upper end of the electric push rod 232 is hinged between the two fixing blocks 231, and the lower end of the electric push rod 232 is hinged to the top of the mounting plate 223.

[0035] When the operator drives the drive motor 214 to rotate the connecting rod 213, the connecting rod 213 drives the sphere 221 and the mounting plate 223 fixed to it to rotate. The outer sleeve 222, connected by the electric push rod 232, rotates synchronously with the mounting plate 223, thereby driving the monitoring probe 11 to rotate, thus achieving the rotation adjustment of the monitoring probe 11. When the operator needs to adjust the pitch of the monitoring probe 11, they only need to control the electric push rod 232 with a remote handle. The electric push rod 232 controls the mounting plate 223 and the outer sleeve 222 to swing around the axis of the sphere 221, thereby causing the mounting plate 223 to drive the monitoring probe 11 to swing around the axis of the sphere 221, thus achieving the pitch angle adjustment of the monitoring probe 11. This expands the coverage of soil and water conservation monitoring and is beneficial for remote sensing monitoring of soil and water conservation monitoring points.

[0036] In this embodiment, a corrugated pipe 5 is fixed between the support plate 2111 and the mounting plate 223, and the corrugated pipe 5 covers the outside of the fixing block 231 and the electric push rod 232. The corrugated pipe 5 provides good protection for the electric push rod 232 and reduces the probability of the electric push rod 232 being damaged by moisture during use.

[0037] In this embodiment, a mounting shell 6 is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 12, and the drive motor 214, worm gear 215, and worm wheel 212 are all located inside the mounting shell 6. The rotating rod 211 passes through the bottom of the mounting shell 6 and is clearance-fitted, and the bottom of the mounting shell 6 is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes 61. The mounting shell 6 prevents the motor, worm gear 215, and worm wheel 212 from being exposed to the air, providing good protection for them and ensuring the normal operation of the device. Simultaneously, during the flight of the UAV 1, the heat dissipation holes 61 provide good heat dissipation, reducing the probability of the drive motor 214 overheating and causing malfunction.

[0038] In this embodiment, a mounting cover 7 is fixed to the lower end of the fixing post 4, and the inner top wall of the mounting cover 7 is fixed to the top of the monitoring probe 11.

A transparent protective cover 72 is provided at the bottom of the mounting cover 7, and both the independent storage battery 71 and the monitoring probe 11 are located inside the transparent protective cover 72. The mounting cover 7 and the transparent protective cover 72 provide a closed space for the independent storage battery 71 and the monitoring probe 11, reducing the probability of rainwater and other debris entering the interior and causing the independent storage battery 71 and the monitoring probe 11 to become damp and damaged.
