[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] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a water quality monitoring drone water sampling device, which includes an outer shell 1. The outer shell 1 is ellipsoidal. A rope winding component 2 is fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1. The rope winding component 2 is connected to a rope winding motor. A suspension rope 21 is wound on the rope winding component 2. The free end of the suspension rope 21 passes through the top of the outer shell 1 along the axis of the outer shell 1. At least one water storage tank 31 is provided inside the outer shell 1. A water pump 32 is fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1. The output end of the water pump 32 is connected to the water storage tank 31, and the input end is fixedly installed on the outer shell 1 and communicates with the outside of the outer shell 1. An L-shaped frame 4 is installed on the side of the outer shell 1 away from the input end of the water pump 32. Two L-shaped frames 4 are arranged symmetrically in mirror. Multiple through holes are provided on the end of the L-shaped frame 4 away from the outer shell 1.

[0026] Specifically, an ellipsoidal outer shell 1 is provided. A water pump 32 and a water tank 31 are installed inside the outer shell 1. Water is drawn from the water tank 31 by the water pump 32 for sampling. A rope winding component 2 and a suspension rope 21 are also provided inside the outer shell 1. When using a multi-rotor drone, the drone is suspended by the suspension rope 21, and the outer shell 1 is raised and lowered by rotating the rope winding component 2 to collect the medicine. An L-shaped frame 4 is installed on the outside of the outer shell 1. When using a fixed-wing drone, the L-shaped frame 4 is used to secure it to the bottom of the fixed-wing drone.

[0027] In this way, by setting up an ellipsoidal outer shell 1, and two hoisting structures, namely the rope winding part 2 and the L-shaped frame 4, the sampling device can be adapted to the use of different types of drones.

[0028] In some feasible configurations, the outer shell 1 comprises a frame, with a skin fixedly covering the outside of the frame, giving the outer shell 1 an overall ellipsoidal shape. When using the rope-wrapper 2 for hoisting, the outer shell 1 is vertically downward along its axial direction, facilitating water entry. When using the L-shaped frame 4 for hoisting, the outer shell 1 is horizontal along its axial direction with respect to the UAV's flight direction, allowing the fixed-wing UAV to fly close to the water surface for sampling. For ease of assembly and disassembly, the skin is divided into two semi-ellipsoidal shells, which are fixed to the outside of the frame with bolts.

[0029] The rope winding component 2 is shaped like a hoist and is equipped with a winding I-beam reel. The I-beam reel is driven to rotate forward and backward by a rope winding motor. The water storage tank 31 is shaped like a box or tank. For easy water extraction, the water storage tank 31 is equipped with an exhaust port or is designed as a vacuum bottle. To facilitate power supply to the rope winding motor, water pump 32, etc., a storage battery 101 is also installed inside the outer casing 1. A control module is also provided, which includes a remote communication module to facilitate remote operation of the rope winding motor, water pump 32, etc.

[0030] As a specific embodiment of the water sampling device for water quality monitoring drone provided in the application, a plurality of partition plates 11 are fixedly installed inside the outer shell 1. One of the partition plates 11 is located between the rope winding component 2 and the rope winding motor. The partition plate 11 is sealed to the inside of the outer shell 1, and the output shaft of the rope winding motor is rotatably sealed to the partition plate 11.

[0031] Overall, by setting up the partition plate 11, the overall strength is improved, and the various spaces are separated, which facilitates the formation of a seal at the location of the rope winding motor and extends the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the partition plate 11 serves as a mounting base, making it easy for various components to be fixed to the partition plate 11 by bolts or other means.

[0032] As another specific embodiment of the water sampling device for water quality monitoring drones provided in the application, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The water pump 32 has a filter element 5 connected to its input end.

[0033] It should be understood that the sampling location may be in a complex environment when sampling water. By setting up filter element 5, it is easier to filter out some impurities. On the one hand, it is easier to collect water, and on the other hand, it reduces the entry of impurities, which helps to protect the water pump 32 and other structures and improve their service life.

[0034] In some feasible embodiments, the filter element 5 includes a filter box 51 disposed on the side of the outer casing 1 away from the L-shaped frame 4. The filter box 51 is a rectangular box, and a filter screen 52 is disposed on the outside of the filter box 51. The input end of the water pump 32 is connected to the filter box 51. In order to maintain the shape of the outer casing 1, the filter screen 52 is flush with the outer casing 1.

[0035] As one specific implementation of the water sampling device for water quality monitoring using a drone provided in the application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple water storage tanks 31 are provided, and multiple branch pipes are connected to the output end of the water pump 32. Solenoid valves are installed on the branch pipes.

[0036] It should be understood that setting up multiple water tanks 31 facilitates multi-point sampling.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer casing 1 is provided with a pick-up and drop-out port 12, the pick-up and drop-out port 12 is bolted with a sealing element 121, the pick-up and drop-out port 12 is provided with a mounting bracket 13, the water tank 31 is inserted into the mounting bracket 13, and the branch pipe is connected to the end of the water tank 31.

[0038] It should be understood that by setting up the mounting bracket 13 and the access port 12, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the water tank 31, thereby facilitating the removal of samples.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The end of the branch pipe is fixedly connected to a cover 321, the cover 321 is connected to an exhaust pipe 322, the exhaust pipe 322 is connected to a one-way valve, the cover 321 is threadedly sealed to the water tank 31, and the exhaust pipe 322 is connected to the sealing element 121.

[0040] It should be understood that by setting the cap 321, the water tank 31 can be replaced via a threaded connection, facilitating multiple samplings.

[0041] In some feasible ways, the loading and unloading port 12 is located at the end of the outer shell 1 away from the rope winding member 2, the mounting frame 13 is a rectangular frame, and the water tank 31 is a tank body, so that the water tank 31 is arranged along the axial direction of the outer shell 1, which facilitates increasing the capacity of the water tank 31. The sealing member 121 is conical, and after being fixedly installed on the frame of the outer shell 1 by bolts, it is assembled with the outer shell 1 to form an ellipsoid.

[0042] The water tank 31 is equipped with a bottle cap, which has the same structure as the sealing cap 321. When placing the tank into the mounting bracket 13, the bottle cap is opened, the sealing cap 321 is installed on the water tank 31, and then the water tank 31 is inserted into the mounting bracket 13. The sealing cap 321 is equipped with a vent pipe 322 and a one-way valve to facilitate the release of gas during water dispensing. The sealing element 121 is equipped with an external drain pipe, which is plugged into and connected to the vent pipe 322.
