Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and more specifically, to a UAV-mounted structure for a gas leak detection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the widespread use of natural gas, gas leak detection has become an important issue in the field of public safety. Traditional gas leak detection methods mainly rely on manual on-site investigation using portable detection equipment. This method is not only inefficient, but also exposes detection personnel to high health and safety risks, especially in environments where there may be high concentrations of gas leaks.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, in recent years, drone technology has gradually demonstrated enormous application potential in the field of gas leak detection due to its high efficiency, flexibility, and safety. However, there are many types of gas leak detection equipment with varying shapes and sizes. Most existing drone mounting structures adopt a fixed mounting method, but this method is often only applicable to detection equipment of specific sizes and shapes. Once the equipment is replaced, the mounting structure needs to be redesigned and manufactured, resulting in poor adaptability, high costs, and low efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements and proposed a drone-mounted structure for gas leak detection equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of poor adaptability of current UAV mounting structures.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and improve the above-mentioned problems, this utility model provides a drone-mounted structure for a gas leak detection device, including a frame. Several connecting plates are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on both sides of the bottom end of the frame. The bottom end of the several connecting plates is fixedly provided with the same support plate. An adjustment component is provided on the connecting plate. The adjustment components on both sides are symmetrically arranged. A support member is provided on the opposite side of the adjustment components on both sides. An adaptation component is provided on the outside of the support member.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first adjustment component includes a connecting cylinder fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate away from the support member. One end of the connecting cylinder extends through the connecting plate to the other side of the connecting plate. The connecting cylinder has a connecting rod threaded inside. The end of the connecting rod away from the connecting plate is fixedly provided with a first handle.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support member includes a mounting plate disposed at the end of the connecting rod.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first adaptation component includes two hinge plates hinged to the top and bottom of the mounting plate. A first elastic pad is fixedly provided at the front end of the mounting plate. The first elastic pad at the front end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the upper and lower hinge plates. A second elastic pad is fixedly provided at the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the mounting plate. The two second elastic pads located at the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the mounting plate are respectively fixedly connected to the hinge plates at the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate at the end.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In the scheme of this application:

[0013] By setting up a No. 1 adjustment component and a No. 1 adaptation component, the No. 1 adaptation component can be controlled to move closer to the detection device in the middle, thereby clamping the detection device in the middle. At the same time, it can adapt to detection devices of more sizes and shapes, improving the adaptability and efficiency of the mounting. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to purchase separate mounting structures for different models of detection devices, reducing costs and solving the problem of poor adaptability of UAV mounting structures in the existing technology.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0024] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 A UAV-mounted structure for a gas leak detection device includes a frame 1, which is specifically a UAV. Several connecting plates 22 are fixedly fixed at equal intervals on both sides of the bottom end of the frame 1. The connecting plates 22 on both sides are used to accommodate the gas leak detection device, which includes, but is not limited to, a gas sensor and a laser methane telemeter.

[0027] The gas sensor converts gas concentration information into an electrical signal. When the electrical signal exceeds a set threshold, the device will activate the alarm system.

[0028] The laser methane telemetry instrument uses tuned diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology to detect the CH4 component of methane in the air;

[0029] Several connecting plates 22 are fixedly provided with the same support plate 21 at their bottom ends. The connecting plates 22 are provided with a first adjustment component 3. The first adjustment components 3 on both sides are symmetrically arranged. A support member is provided on the opposite side of the first adjustment components 3 on both sides. The first adjustment component 3 is used to drive the support member to move closer to the middle position, thereby accommodating more sizes of testing equipment. Multiple support members can contact and fix different areas on the side of the testing equipment, thereby accommodating different shapes of the testing equipment. A first adaptation component 4 is provided on the outside of the support member, which is used to further enhance the adaptability of the support member.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first adjustment component 3 includes a connecting cylinder 31 fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 22 away from the support member. One end of the connecting cylinder 31 extends through the connecting plate 22 to the other side of the connecting plate 22. The connecting cylinder 31 has a connecting rod 32 threaded inside. The connecting cylinder 31 is used to increase the length of the connection with the connecting rod 32, making its structure more stable. The connecting rod 32 moves through the thread when it rotates. The end of the connecting rod 32 away from the connecting plate 22 is fixedly provided with a first handle 33. The first handle 33 is used to facilitate the user to rotate the connecting rod 32.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the support includes a mounting plate 41 located at the end of the connecting rod 32. When the connecting rod 32 rotates and moves left and right, the mounting plate 41 also moves left and right accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first adaptation component 4 includes two hinge plates 42 hinged to the top and bottom of the mounting plate 41. The hinge plates 42 are used to increase the contact area with the testing equipment and fix the testing equipment more stably. A first elastic pad 51 is fixedly provided at the front end of the mounting plate 41. The first elastic pad 51 at the front end of the mounting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower hinge plates 42. A second elastic pad 52 is fixedly provided at the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the mounting plate 41. The first elastic pad 51 and the second elastic pad 52 include, but are not limited to, rubber materials. The rubber materials have a certain elasticity and anti-slip ability, which can better fix the testing equipment. The two second elastic pads 52 located at the upper and lower ends of the rear end of the mounting plate 41 are fixedly connected to the hinge plates 42 at the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 41, respectively. The first elastic pad 51 contacts the side of the testing equipment. When the second elastic pad 52 is bent due to its shell, the elastic force of the first elastic pad 51 and the second elastic pad 52 makes the first elastic pad 51 contact the shell of the testing equipment more tightly.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 41 at the end. The rotatable connection can further enhance the flexibility of the first adaptation component 4 and the mounting plate 41. Users can rotate the mounting plate 41 according to the size or shape of the testing equipment to make the first adaptation component 4 fit the shell of the testing equipment more closely.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 21 has two through holes 23, which are used to reduce material consumption.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The UAV-mounted structure of the gas leak detection equipment provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, several second adjustment components 6 are equidistantly arranged at the bottom end of the support plate 21. Each second adjustment component 6 includes a mounting cylinder 61 fixedly connected to the support plate 21. The two through holes 23 are offset from the positions of the second adjustment components 6. The top end of the mounting cylinder 61 extends through the support plate 21 to the top of the support plate 21. The mounting cylinder 61 has an internal threaded mounting rod 62. When the mounting rod 62 is rotated, it moves up and down through the threaded connection with the mounting cylinder 61, thereby adjusting the height of the testing equipment on the support plate 21 and increasing the contact area to further improve the effect of fixing the testing equipment. The bottom end of the mounting rod 62 is fixedly provided with a second handle 63, which is used to facilitate the user to rotate the mounting rod 62. The top end of the mounting rod 62 is rotatably provided with a first fixing plate 71.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a second adaptation component 7 is provided on the outside of the first fixing plate 71. The second adaptation component 7 includes two second fixing plates 72 hinged to both sides of the first fixing plate 71. The second fixing plates 72 increase the contact area with the testing equipment. A third elastic pad 81 is fixedly provided at the top of the first fixing plate 71 and fixedly connected to the second fixing plates 72 on both sides. A fourth elastic pad 82 is fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom end of the first fixing plate 71. The third elastic pad 81 and the fourth elastic pad 82 include, but are not limited to, rubber materials. The two fourth elastic pads 82 are fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 72 on the same side. When the second fixing plate 72 is flipped by hinge, it is reset by the elastic force of the fourth elastic pad 82 and the third elastic pad 81. This allows the fourth elastic pad 82 to contact the outer shell of the testing equipment. Due to the shape of the outer shell, the second fixing plate 72 bends downward. At this time, the elastic force of the third elastic pad 81 and the fourth elastic pad 82 can give it a certain contact force, thereby making it more tightly contacted with the outer shell of the testing equipment.

[0038] The usage process of the UAV-mounted structure of the gas leak detection equipment provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When it is necessary to install the gas leak detection equipment under the drone, place the detection equipment on several No. 3 elastic pads 81, turn the No. 2 handle 63 to make the mounting rod 62 pass through the thread, drive the No. 3 elastic pad 81 at its top to move upward, push the detection equipment upward until it contacts the bottom of the frame 1, and clamp the detection equipment.

[0040] Then, rotating the first handle 33 on both sides drives the connecting rod 32 to rotate. Through the threaded connection with the connecting cylinder 31, its end and the component installed at the end move closer to the detection device in the middle, so that the first elastic pads 51 on both sides contact the outer shell on the side of the detection device. Multiple first elastic pads 51 are fixed to different areas on the side of the detection device, thereby adapting to different shaped shells and completing the fixing.
