[0002] Inspection-grade quadcopter drones utilize their advantages of high flexibility, simple structure, low cost, and vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Equipped with various sensors and imaging equipment, they are used to monitor, inspect, and collect data from specific targets. They can fly autonomously or remotely, possessing hovering and fixed-track flight capabilities, enabling precise inspections of target areas.

[0003] River and lake shorelines are crucial barriers to ensure water supply and flood control security. However, illegal encroachment on river channels, lake reclamation, illegal sand mining, and fishing are rampant around these shorelines, leading to their misuse and abuse. Regulating fishing activities in prohibited areas is an important aspect of river and lake shoreline management. Drones are being used to improve the efficiency of inspections, particularly for reservoirs and drinking water sources.

[0004] However, when drones encounter illegal fishing or swimming in reservoirs during reservoir inspections, especially when encountering abnormal situations in dangerous waters, they can only issue voice warnings to drive away and alert staff. However, it takes time for staff to arrive, so the drones cannot handle the situation in a timely manner, thus limiting their inspection and handling capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quadcopter drone for inspection, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the drone encounters illegal or dangerous behavior during the inspection of reservoirs such as drinking water sources, it can only issue voice reminders and drive away the illegal or dangerous behavior, and cannot effectively deal with the illegal or dangerous behavior, thus limiting the inspection capability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a quadcopter drone for inspection, comprising a drone, a mounting frame at the bottom of the drone, a processing component for assisting in the handling of violators inside the mounting frame, the processing component including a turntable inside the mounting frame, a groove inside the turntable, and a guide plate inside the groove;

[0007] The bottom of the mounting frame is provided with two slots, and a flexible tube is provided at one end of each slot. A magnet and a gravity block are provided on the inner wall of one of the slots.

[0008] Another hole groove is provided with a connecting frame, the connecting frame is provided with a positioning groove, the positioning groove is provided with a slider, one end of the slider is provided with a protruding tube, the inner wall of the positioning groove is provided with multiple cavities, each of the multiple cavities is provided with a support plate, the opening of the support plate is provided with a one-way plate, one end of the one-way plate is provided with an adhesive block, and an airbag is provided on the outside of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting frame is connected to the bottom of the drone by bolts, the turntable is located inside the mounting frame and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame by a drive shaft, and the guide plate is located inside the slide groove and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove by an electromagnetic slide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the inside of the inner groove of the turntable is connected to the inner wall of the slot by rotation, the hose is connected to the opening inside the slot, one of the hoses in the slot is connected to a gravity block, the gravity block is located in one of the slots and is magnetically connected to a magnet on the inner wall of the slot.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting frame is located in another slot and connected to the inner wall of the slot, the slider is located in the positioning slot of the connecting frame and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning slot via an electromagnetic slide rail, one end of the slider is connected to the hose in the slot, the convex tube is located in the slider and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider, and communicates with the hose through the slider.

[0012] Preferably, the plurality of cavity arrays are distributed inside the connecting frame and communicate with the positioning groove, and when the slider moves to the cavity, the convex tube communicates with the opening end of the support plate inside the cavity.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By installing a camera inside the drone frame to capture images during inspections, and attaching an external mounting frame below the drone to move along with it during inspections, the mounting frame stores and stores rescue airbags and gravity blocks, thus improving the functionality of the drone during inspections.

[0016] 2. When an abnormal situation is detected, the turntable rotates between the slots for the rescue airbag or gravity block within the mounting frame, and controls the guide plate inside the turntable to extend under one of the drone's wings. This allows the airflow generated by the wing to flow with the guide plate into the chute and be delivered to one of the slots. The airflow is guided through the hose inside the slot. When the airflow is guided to the slot storing the gravity block, the airflow is delivered to the cartilage, causing the hose to expand and push the gravity block out. When encountering illegal fishing, the gravity block can be thrown into the water to drive away the fish, thus helping the anglers leave. When encountering illegal swimming, it can also help drive them away. When swimming is dangerous, the turntable rotates to connect with another slot to inflate the airbag inside the slot and push the airbag out. The airbag floats on the water surface to rescue the drowning person.

[0017] This invention uses a mounting frame that stores airbags and gravity blocks connected to the bottom of a drone. When encountering illegal personnel during inspections, the airflow generated by the drone's wings can be used to guide the extension of either the airbag or the gravity block. The airbag and gravity block can be used to assist in driving away illegal personnel and to provide assistance in dangerous situations. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] All devices in this application adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the control method is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field, so this application will not explain it in detail.

[0026] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, a quadcopter drone for inspection includes a drone 1. A mounting frame 2 is located at the bottom of the drone 1, suspending the drone and following it during inspections. The mounting frame 2 contains a processing component to assist in handling violators. This component includes a turntable 3 inside the mounting frame 2, which rotates within the frame and activates when a camera detects an anomaly. The turntable 3 switches between two slots 4. A sliding groove 301 is provided inside the turntable 3 to house a guide plate 302 and guide the plate... The angle positioning during sliding is 302. A guide plate 302 is provided inside the slide groove 301. The guide plate 302 can be controlled to slide out in the slide groove 301 and extend to the underside of one of the wings of the UAV 1 (the thrust of the other wings is adjusted before movement to avoid tilting the UAV). This guides the airflow generated by the wings into the slide groove 301 and delivers the airflow to one of the slots 4 through the through holes in the slide groove 301. A camera is installed inside the UAV 1 to capture and process the images during inspection to determine the inspection status.

[0027] Mounting frame 2 is connected to the bottom of UAV 1 by bolts. Turntable 3 is located inside mounting frame 2 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of mounting frame 2 via drive shaft. Guide plate 302 is located inside slide groove 301 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of slide groove 301 via electromagnetic slide rail.

[0028] In this embodiment: by suspending the mounting frame 2 below the drone 1, when the camera of the drone 1 detects an abnormal situation, the turntable 3 is controlled to rotate according to the type of situation, so that the turntable 3 switches between two slots 4. Then, the guide plate 302 is controlled to slide and extend into the slide groove 301 to one of the wings, guiding the airflow generated by the wings into the slide groove 301 and delivering it to the hose 401 in the slot 4.

[0029] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 2-5The bottom of the mounting frame 2 has two slots 4 for storing the gravity block 5 and the airbag 9. One end of each slot 4 has a flexible tube 401, and the other end of the tubes 401 connects to the gravity block 5 and the slider 7, respectively. One slot 4 has a magnet 402 and a gravity block 5 on its inner wall. In normal conditions, the gravity block 5 is stored in the slot 4 and secured by the magnet 402. The other slot 4 has a connecting frame 6 with a positioning groove 601 for positioning the slider 7 at its sliding angle. The slider 7 is located inside the positioning groove 601 and can slide within it via an electronic control, allowing it to move and switch between multiple cavities 602. One end of the slider 7 has a protrusion... The tube 701 and the convex tube 701 can slide out and extend into the cavity 602 to dock with the support plate 8. The inner wall of the positioning groove 601 is provided with multiple cavities 602, which can simultaneously accommodate multiple airbags 9. Each of the multiple cavities 602 is provided with a support plate 8, which is adhered to the cavity 602 and supports the position of the airbag 9. A one-way plate 801 is provided at the opening of the support plate 8. The one-way plate 801 makes the opening of the support plate 8 one-way in the normal state to prevent the internal gas from escaping (it can be vented manually after use). An adhesive block 802 is provided at one end of the one-way plate 801 to improve the sealing performance of the one-way plate 801. An airbag 9 is provided on the outside of the support plate 8. After inflation, the airbag 9 can be used as a lifebuoy to rescue drowning people.

[0030] The inner groove 301 of the turntable 3 communicates with the inner wall of the slot 4 through rotation. The flexible hose 401 is connected to the opening inside the slot 4. The flexible hose 401 in one of the slots 4 is connected to the gravity block 5. The gravity block 5 is located in one of the slots 4 and is magnetically connected to the magnet 402 on the inner wall of the slot 4. The connecting frame 6 is located in the other slot 4 and is connected to the inner wall of the slot 4. The slider 7 is located in the positioning groove 601 of the connecting frame 6 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 601 through an electromagnetic slide rail. One end of the slider 7 is connected to the flexible hose 401 in the slot 4. The convex tube 701 is located inside the slider 7 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slider 7. It is also connected to the hose 401 through the slider 7. Multiple cavities 602 are arrayed inside the connecting frame 6 and are connected to the positioning groove 601. When the slider 7 moves to the cavity 602, the convex tube 701 is connected to the opening end of the support plate 8 inside the cavity 602. The support plate 8 is located inside the cavity 602 and is glued to the inner wall of the cavity 602. The one-way plate 801 is located inside the opening of the support plate 8 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the opening through a spring shaft. The airbag 9 is connected to the outside of the support plate 8.

[0031] In this embodiment: when the drone 1 detects illegal fishing in the reservoir, it controls the turntable 3 to rotate to connect with the slot 4 containing the gravity block 5, and controls the guide plate 302 to extend to guide the airflow generated by the wings into the slide 301 and inject it into the slot 4 and into the hose 401 inside the slot 4. Since the other end of the hose 401 is sealed with the gravity block 5, it will collide and extend outward after the presence of gas inside, pushing the gravity block 5 out of the slot 4. The drone 1 is then controlled to make the gravity block 5 fall into the water to drive away the fish, thereby helping to get the anglers away. It can also assist in driving away other illegal activities (when storing, the drone 1 can be controlled to land so that the mounting frame 2 is close to the gravity block 5, and the gas in the hose 401 is discharged and the gravity block 5 is guided to be stored in the slot 4).

[0032] When a swimmer is detected in the water and there is a risk of drowning, the control turntable 3 is rotated to correspond with another slot 4. Airflow is then introduced into the other slot 4 and circulated to the slider 7 through the hose 401. At the same time, the slider 7 is controlled to slide in the positioning slot 601 to the corresponding cavity 602 area so that the convex tube 701 connects with the opening of the support plate 8 in the cavity 602. Airflow is injected into the airbag 9 through the support plate 8 via the hose 401 and the slider 7, causing the airbag 9 to inflate. When the airbag 9 is fully inflated, the air pressure causes the support plate 8 and the cavity 602 to generate thrust and fall from the cavity 602 into the water, where it is used as a lifebuoy to rescue the swimmer.
