A remote ground water pump control device for a drone

Abstract

This utility model discloses a remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), specifically relating to the field of remote control device technology. It includes a solenoid valve with a connecting clamp at its top. Two threaded adapters, a first and a second, are respectively located at opposite ends of the solenoid valve, each with a water outlet pipe and a quick-release male connector. This utility model separates the solenoid valve from the UAV (the solenoid valve is suspended below the UAV via a support rod), allowing the UAV to only perform signal relay functions without carrying a water tank or high-pressure pipeline, reducing load requirements and extending single-operation time. It is particularly suitable for large-area surface cleaning scenarios on large industrial equipment. The operator can trigger the water spray command from a safe distance (e.g., at high altitudes or in heat source areas) via the UAV remote controller. The signal is relayed by the UAV and directly controls the solenoid valve's on / off state, starting and stopping the water spray.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of remote control device technology, and in particular to a remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the integration of drone technology and IoT devices, traditional fixed water pump control systems can no longer meet the needs of modern complex operation scenarios, especially for industrial cleaning. Since cleaning the surface of large equipment requires multi-angle spraying, manual operation is difficult to guarantee uniformity. Therefore, it is necessary to use drones to remotely connect to ground water pumps for cleaning and control.

[0003] The inventors have discovered at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0004] Existing methods for cleaning the surfaces of large equipment often involve direct water spraying from an onboard water tank. However, due to limitations in the payload and range of drones, the operation time and scope are restricted, and frequent refueling is required, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, remote control is achieved using solenoid valves, which typically rely on wired connections or independent remote control devices, lacking integration with the drone system and failing to achieve "air-ground" collaborative operations.

[0005] Therefore, this solution provides a remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the problems of low efficiency and inability to integrate UAV and solenoid valve control in the prior art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) includes a solenoid valve. The top of the solenoid valve is provided with a connecting clamp. The two ends of the solenoid valve are respectively provided with a threaded adapter first and a threaded adapter second. The ends of the threaded adapter first and the threaded adapter second that are far apart from each other are respectively provided with a water outlet pipe and a quick-release male connector. The top of the solenoid valve is provided with a support rod, one end of which is installed on the bottom of the UAV.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting clamp is bolted to the top of the solenoid valve, and the connecting clamp is used to connect the solenoid valve and the support rod.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting clamps are symmetrically distributed at the upper and lower ends of the support rod, and are connected by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the support rod and the water outlet pipe are provided with evenly distributed mounting clamps on their periphery. The mounting clamps are connected at the top and bottom by bolts and are used to fix the position of the water outlet pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the threaded adapter one and threaded adapter two are used to connect the water outlet pipes and quick-release male connectors at both ends of the solenoid valve.

[0013] Preferably, the solenoid valve is provided with a threaded adapter second, the top end of which is connected to the bottom of the drone by a bolt, and the threaded adapter second is used to protect the solenoid valve.

[0014] Preferably, a nozzle is installed at the end of the water outlet pipe away from the solenoid valve.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] I. This utility model separates the solenoid valve from the drone (the solenoid valve is installed under the drone via a support rod). The drone only needs to perform the signal relay function and does not need to carry a water tank or high-pressure pipeline, which reduces the load requirements and can extend the operation time at one time. It is suitable for large-scale industrial equipment cleaning scenarios.

[0017] II. When using this utility model, the operator can remotely trigger the water spraying command from a safe distance (such as high altitude or heat source area) by controlling the remote controller. The signal is relayed by the drone and directly controls the solenoid valve to turn on and off to spray water, avoiding the risks of high temperature, dust or corrosive environment. It adopts a three-level chain control mode of "remote controller → drone → solenoid valve". Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the directions shown in the accompanying drawings shall prevail, such as front and back. Figure 1 For the sake of accuracy, the specific details should be as follows: Figure 1 The left side is the front. Figure 1 The right side is the rear; at the same time, as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal direction is roughly defined as left and right, and the vertical direction is defined as up and down. If a specific orientation changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0024] This utility model provides a remote ground water pump control device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including a solenoid valve 3. The top of the solenoid valve 3 is provided with a connecting clamp 5. The two ends of the solenoid valve 3 are respectively provided with a threaded adapter 7 and a threaded adapter 8. The ends of the threaded adapter 7 and the threaded adapter 8 that are far apart from each other are respectively provided with a water outlet pipe 2 and a quick-release male head 4. The top of the solenoid valve 3 is provided with a support rod 1, and one end of the support rod 1 is installed on the bottom of the UAV.

[0025] Solenoid valve 3 is located directly below the drone. It is connected to the circuit board and power supply inside the drone via a connecting cable, allowing the button on the drone remote controller to control the opening and closing of solenoid valve 3. The remote controller can remotely control the power supply to solenoid valve 3 to start and stop the ground water pump. The drone remote controller has a separate button to control solenoid valve 3. After the button is installed, the signal can be transmitted to the drone first, and then the drone transmits the signal to solenoid valve 3 to control the water spray.

[0026] The quick-release male connector 4 is connected to the water pump on the ground via a hose, and the water pump has a shut-off function. One end of the hose connected to the quick-release male connector 4 has a female quick-release connector that fits into the quick-release male connector 4.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the connecting clamp 5 is bolted to the top of the solenoid valve 3, and the connecting clamp 5 is used to connect the solenoid valve 3 and the support rod 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top of the connecting clamp 5 can be connected to the bottom of the drone via bolts.

[0029] In a further embodiment, the connecting clamps 5 are symmetrically distributed at the upper and lower ends of the support rod 1, and are connected by bolts.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting clamp 5 is composed of two upper and lower semi-circular blocks.

[0031] In a further embodiment, the support rod 1 and the water outlet pipe 2 are provided with evenly distributed mounting clamps 6. The mounting clamps 6 are connected vertically by bolts and are used to fix the position of the water outlet pipe 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the clamp 6 does not connect the water outlet pipe 2 and the support rod 1 at the bend in the water outlet pipe 2. (See reference...) Figure 2 .

[0033] In a further embodiment, threaded adapter 7 and threaded adapter 8 are used to connect the outlet pipe 2 and quick-release male connector 4 at both ends of the solenoid valve 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, both thread conversion adapter 7 and thread conversion adapter 8 are half-width external thread to M14 internal thread straight connectors.

[0035] In a further embodiment, a threaded adapter 8 is provided on the outside of the solenoid valve 3. The top end of the threaded adapter 8 is connected to the bottom of the drone by a bolt. The threaded adapter 8 is used to protect the solenoid valve 3.

[0036] In this embodiment, the threaded adapter 2 8 has notches at both the quick-release male connector 4 and the water outlet pipe 2, which facilitates connection and avoids obstructing the water pipe.

[0037] In a further embodiment, a nozzle 9 is installed at the end of the water outlet pipe 2 away from the solenoid valve 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the solenoid valve 3 is opened by the remote control, the water delivered by the ground water pump can be sprayed out from the nozzle 9 through the solenoid valve 3 and the water outlet pipe 2 to clean the large industrial equipment.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] In the surface cleaning of large industrial equipment, the quick-release male connector 4 can be connected to the hose first. The other end of the hose is connected to the output end of the water pump with the gun-off function. The input end of the water pump is connected to the water tank through the hose, so that the cleaning fluid in the water tank can be drawn. Then, the operator can control the drone to fly close to the large industrial equipment through the remote control. By pressing the button on the remote control, the remote control sends a signal to the solenoid valve under the drone. After the valve is opened, the water pump immediately supplies water. The high-pressure water flow is delivered to the inside of the water outlet pipe 2 through the hose and quick-release male connector 4, and then sprayed out from the nozzle 9, thus cleaning the surface of the large industrial equipment.

[0041] When cleaning is complete, the operator releases the remote control button, the solenoid valve is de-energized and shuts off, and the water pump stops simultaneously to avoid water residue or waste of resources;

[0042] This eliminates the need for frequent addition of cleaning agents to the drone during cleaning, thus increasing cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, the ground water pump can be remotely controlled via a remote controller, making cleaning more convenient.

[0043] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
