Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of surveying equipment technology, and in particular to a drone with an integrated omnidirectional lighting surveying supplementary lighting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Drone mapping is a powerful supplement to traditional aerial photogrammetry, featuring high mobility, efficiency, speed, precision, low operating costs, wide applicability, and short production cycles. It has significant advantages in rapidly acquiring high-resolution images of small areas and regions with difficult flight conditions. With the development of drone and digital camera technologies, aerial mapping technology based on drone platforms has demonstrated its unique advantages.

[0003] In nighttime or low-light environments, traditional UAV lighting systems often suffer from uneven illumination and limited coverage, leading to inaccurate mapping data or degraded image quality. Therefore, an improvement has been made to a UAV that integrates an omnidirectional lighting mapping supplementary illumination structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a UAV with an integrated omnidirectional lighting mapping supplementary lighting structure, which overcomes the deficiencies of existing technologies and aims to solve the problems of uneven illumination and limited coverage that often exist in the lighting systems of traditional UAVs, leading to inaccurate mapping data or degraded image quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a drone integrating an omnidirectional illumination mapping supplementary lighting structure, comprising a drone body, a movable frame fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the drone body, a mapping camera fixedly mounted inside the movable frame, a buckle seat fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the drone body outside the movable frame, a ring bracket snapped into the inside of the buckle seat, a ring LED light group fixedly mounted at the bottom of the ring bracket, the ring LED light group consisting of several LEDs evenly distributed in a circumferential array at the bottom of the ring bracket, a supplementary lighting control module disposed inside the drone body, and a conductive connector fixedly connected to the ring LED light group via wires, the conductive connector being slidably inserted into the side wall of the drone body and electrically connected to the supplementary lighting control module inside it.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the ring-shaped LED light group is installed under the main body of the drone by snapping the ring bracket with a snap-fit ​​bracket. The ring-shaped LED light group distributed in a circumferential array can eliminate shadow blind spots and achieve omnidirectional illumination, enabling the mapping camera to still acquire high-resolution images in low-light environments. The supplementary lighting control module is used to adjust the brightness and on / off status of the ring-shaped LED light group to reduce ineffective energy consumption. The snap-fit ​​ring bracket supports quick assembly and disassembly, and can be disassembled and stored when not in use to reduce space occupation.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the buckle seat includes a base plate fixedly installed on the lower surface of the drone body, a connecting seat fixedly installed on the outer surface of the base plate, a cover plate rotatably connected inside the connecting seat, the cover plate being fixedly connected to the base plate by fixing screws, an arc-shaped groove being formed between the cover plate and the base plate, and the annular bracket being located inside the arc-shaped groove and adapted to it.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate and the connecting seat are rotatably connected to open or close the opening of the arc groove, which is adapted to the installation requirements of the ring bracket. The base plate and the cover plate are fixedly assembled together by fixing screws to achieve the fixed installation of the ring bracket.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the number of the buckle seats is four, and the four buckle seats are evenly distributed in a circumferential array on the lower surface of the drone body.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the four buckle seats are evenly distributed along the circumference, so that the installation load of the ring bracket is evenly transferred to the main body of the drone, avoiding local stress concentration and ensuring installation stability.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a GPS positioning device is fixedly installed on the top of the drone body, and a wireless signal transmission module is provided inside the drone body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the unmanned information of the drone body is recorded by the GPS positioning device, and the image information collected by the drone body is transmitted to the remote receiving device in real time through the wireless signal transmission module, which makes it convenient for staff to remotely control the drone body.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, brushless motors are fixedly installed at the top four corners of the drone body, and rotors are fixedly installed at the output end of the brushless motors.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the drone achieves flight by starting a brushless motor to drive the rotor to rotate.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body, a landing frame is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod, and a buffer spring is provided on the outer surface of the support rod between the landing frame and the drone body, and the two ends of the buffer spring are fixedly connected to the landing frame and the drone body respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the main body of the drone lands, the landing frame first contacts the ground and transmits the landing impact force to the buffer spring, which then buffers and dissipates the impact force, ensuring the safety of the main body of the drone during landing.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support rod, landing frame and the shell of the drone body are all carbon fiber components.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, carbon fiber has excellent strength and stiffness, as well as the advantage of being lightweight, making it an ideal material for manufacturing drones.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. In this utility model, the ring-shaped LED light group is installed below the main body of the drone by snapping the ring bracket with a snap-fit ​​seat. The ring-shaped LED light group distributed in a circumferential array can eliminate shadow blind spots and achieve omnidirectional illumination, enabling the surveying camera to still acquire high-resolution images in low-light environments. The supplementary lighting control module is used to adjust the brightness and on / off status of the ring-shaped LED light group to reduce ineffective energy consumption. The snap-fit ​​ring bracket supports quick assembly and disassembly, and can be disassembled and stored when not in use to reduce space occupation.

The ring LED light group 6, which is distributed in a circumferential array, can eliminate shadow blind spots and achieve omnidirectional illumination, so that the mapping camera 3 can still obtain high-resolution images in low-light environments. The supplementary lighting control module is used to adjust the brightness and on / off status of the ring LED light group 6 to reduce ineffective energy consumption. The snap-fit ​​ring bracket 5 supports quick assembly and disassembly and can be disassembled and stored when not in use to reduce space occupation.
