Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water collection devices for drones, and specifically to a water collection device specifically designed for drones. Background Technology

[0002] To better manage surface water, it is necessary to sample and test the water in rivers and lakes in a timely manner. At the same time, in order to improve the timeliness and convenience of water quality sampling, water quality sampling devices are often carried on drones. The drones then move the devices to the water areas where sampling is needed to automatically sample the water.

[0003] A search revealed that, for example, Chinese patent CN219573603U discloses a drone water quality sampler. This device is mounted on a drone and uses a connecting arm, an adjusting arm, and an adjusting mechanism inside the adjusting arm to sample water sources through a sampling mechanism. This eliminates the need for manual sampling, improving the intelligence of the equipment and the safety of the sampling process.

[0004] However, when the device is used for water sampling, the drone needs to stay close to the water surface at all times, which makes it difficult to operate. In addition, during the sampling process, floating objects or other large suspended debris in the water can easily flow into the sampling chamber, reducing the quality of the water sample. To solve the above problems, a special water sampling device for drones is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a water collection device specifically for drones. The present invention deploys a water collection tank by means of a traction rope. The water sample enters the water collection tank through the inlet and is filtered by a filter screen to remove suspended solids and other impurities from the water. The water sample then flows into the water collection tube through the lower hopper. When it is necessary to remove the water sample, the water collection tank and the bottom cover are separated by a knob, and the water collection tube is pulled out to complete the sampling. This improves the quality of the collected water sample and thus improves the accuracy of subsequent water sample testing.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a water collection device for drones, including a detachable tow rope at the bottom of the drone, a connecting buckle at the tow end of the tow rope, a water collection tank at the bottom of the connecting buckle, multiple water inlets at the top of the water collection tank, a filter screen at the top inside the water collection tank, a lower liquid hopper fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter screen, a detachable bottom cover at the bottom of the water collection tank, a receiving groove at the top of the bottom cover, and a water collection cylinder inside the receiving groove.

[0007] The filter screen is circular, and several filter holes are provided through the surface of the filter screen. The filter holes are used to filter suspended solids or other impurities in the water.

[0008] The bottom of the filter screen is equipped with a lower positioning ring, which is used to support the filter screen. The lower positioning ring is heat-fused to the inner wall of the water tank. The upper part of the filter screen is equipped with an upper positioning ring, which cooperates with the lower positioning ring to clamp the filter screen.

[0009] The bottom of the lower positioning ring is fixed with multiple threaded grooves for installing positioning bolts. The surface of the upper positioning ring is provided with multiple threaded holes for installing positioning bolts. The threaded holes all pass through the filter screen and the lower positioning ring and correspond to the threaded grooves. Each threaded hole is provided with a positioning bolt. The positioning bolt is used to fix the filter screen clamped between the upper and lower positioning rings, thereby preventing the filter screen from shaking when the drone is flying or taking water.

[0010] The lower liquid hopper is a hollow frustum shape, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A receiving slot is provided at the bottom of the lower liquid hopper to receive the water intake tube. The receiving slot is sealed and adapted to the top of the water intake tube.

[0011] The bottom of the water tank has an opening for installing an internal thread and for pulling the water tank out of the water tank. The inner ring of the opening has an internal thread for connecting with an external thread, thus creating a detachable and sealed connection between the water tank and the bottom cover. The surface of the bottom cover has an external thread for connecting the bottom cover to the bottom of the water tank. The internal thread and the external thread are threaded together.

[0012] The water tank is equipped with a top cover, which is used to open the water inlet so that the water sample enters the water collection tube from the top of the water tank. The water inlet passes through the top cover and is connected to the inside of the water tank. A knob is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bottom cover. The knob makes it easy for personnel to turn the bottom cover to separate the water tank from the bottom cover, so as to take out the water collection tube and the water sample stored inside.

[0013] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The water collection tank is lowered by a traction rope. The water sample enters the tank through the inlet and is filtered by a filter screen to remove suspended solids and other impurities. The water sample then flows into the collection tube through the lower hopper. When the water sample needs to be removed, the tank is separated from the bottom cover by turning a knob, and the collection tube is pulled out to complete the sampling. This improves the quality of the collected water sample and thus improves the accuracy of subsequent water sample testing.

[0015] 2. The receiving slot is used to receive the water tube. The receiving groove and the receiving slot are used to restrict and position the water tube, thereby preventing the water tube from shaking during operation.

[0016] 3. Fix the filter screen plate clamped between the upper and lower positioning rings with positioning bolts to prevent the filter screen plate from shaking when the drone is flying or collecting water. Attached Figure Description

The water collection cylinder 402 is installed inside the receiving groove 401 and is used to store water samples.

[0025] In use, the water collection tank 200 is lowered by the traction rope 101. The water sample enters the water collection tank 200 through the inlet 201. The filter screen 300 filters out suspended solids and other impurities in the water, so that the water sample flows into the water collection tube 402 through the lower liquid hopper 301. When it is necessary to remove the water sample, the water collection tank 200 is separated from the bottom cover 400 by the knob 406, so that the water collection tube 402 can be pulled out to complete the sampling. This improves the quality of the collected water sample, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent water sample testing.
