Detailed Implementation

[0040] 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.

[0041] The core of this invention is to provide an infrared imaging system capable of independently transmitting images captured by the imaging end and control commands from the receiving end, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission. Another core aspect of this invention is to provide a drone system incorporating the aforementioned infrared imaging system.

[0042] The infrared imaging system provided by this utility model includes an image capturing end 2, a receiving end 7, and a transmitting end 1. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1Specifically, infrared imaging systems can be applied in the field of drones, as well as in the field of low-light or digital image display equipment.

[0043] The image capturing end 2 is the component used to capture images, while the receiving end 7 can receive the images captured by the image capturing end 2. The receiving end 7 can also send control commands to the image capturing end 2. The control commands here can specifically refer to angle adjustment, infrared mode switching, shutter correction commands, etc.

[0044] Specifically, angle adjustment refers to the adjustable shooting angle of the image capturing terminal 2. In one implementation, the shooting angle can be adjusted according to different drone models 3 to improve the adaptability of the infrared imaging system, reduce operating costs, and offer high cost-effectiveness, better meeting the needs of entry-level outdoor enthusiasts. In another specific implementation, the shooting angle can be adjusted according to the position of the target object, which can be scenery, objects, or people. The position information of the target object can be preset, or the position information of each side of the target object to be captured can be preset, allowing the image capturing terminal 2 to adaptively control and adjust the shooting direction according to the preset information, thereby improving the applicability of the infrared imaging system.

[0045] Among them, the shutter correction command is used to ensure the uniformity of the captured image; while the infrared mode switching command, such as adjusting the shooting mode to jungle mode, plain mode, or bird watching mode according to the actual use scenario, enables the image capturing end 2 to adjust parameters according to different scene adaptability, making the shooting target more prominent and ensuring the shooting effect.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The transmitter 1 is located on the communication path between the image capturing end 2 and the receiver 7. Specifically, signal transmission between the image capturing end 2 and the receiver 7 is achieved through the image transmission element 13 located in the first housing 11. The image transmission element 13 can be located inside or outside the first housing 11, as long as it can be reliably installed and can be protected by the first housing 11.

[0047] Taking one specific implementation as an example, the image transmission element 13 is located inside the first housing 11 and is capable of signal transmission. The first housing 11 is also provided with a data connection port 17 corresponding to the image transmission element 13. The data connection port 17 can be connected to the image capturing end 2 via a signal line to achieve signal transmission, or it can achieve wireless transmission. Through the image transmission element 13 set inside the first housing 11, the signal transmission of captured images and the signal transmission of control commands can be independent of the UAV 3, avoiding signal interference and ensuring the reliability and stability of the overall signal transmission of the infrared imaging system.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the transmitter 1 is set independently of the drone 3 and has an independent image transmission element 13, the infrared imaging system is not affected by the drone 3. Therefore, it is easy for users to add or modify it according to their needs, with low design cost and high operability.

[0049] In this embodiment, both the transmitter 1 and the receiver 7 can be equipped with antennas 6 to ensure the reliability of signal transmission.

[0050] In this embodiment, the image transmission element 13 can be a circuit board element or an image transmission module, which is mounted on the circuit board and can be designed according to requirements.

[0051] In this embodiment, the transmitter 1 and the image capturing end 2 are connected to form an assembly. This assembly can be installed on different external devices according to user needs to meet the user's high requirements for the overall signal transmission reliability and stability of the infrared imaging system.

[0052] In one specific implementation, the connection between the transmitter 1 and the image capturing end 2 is as follows: the transmitter 1 is an independent component and the image capturing end 2 is an independent component. The two independent components are connected by wireless transmission or wired transmission. Wireless transmission is specifically achieved by using a Bluetooth module, and wired transmission is specifically achieved by using a connecting cable.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The first housing 11 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the transmitter 1. The receiving cavity is provided with at least one opening 16 for assembling and disassembling the image transmission element 13. The first housing 11 is detachably connected to a cover 12 that can block or open the opening 16.

[0054] The form of the cover 12 is determined by the location and number of openings 16. For example, if there is one opening 16 located on the top of the first outer shell 11, the cover 12 can meet the usage requirements by being detachably connected to the top of the first outer shell 11.

[0055] Taking one specific implementation method as an example, such as Figure 4 As shown, one of the openings 16 can accommodate the image transmission element 13; as Figure 6 As shown, another opening 16 can accommodate the first battery module 14. In case of a problem with the image transmission element 13 or if the first battery module 14 needs replacement or repair, the cover 12 can be opened to perform the relevant operations. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The two openings 16 in the middle have different opening directions to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first battery module 14 and the image transmission element 13, but this is not limited to this and can be changed according to the actual situation.

[0056] In another specific embodiment, the receiving cavity may be provided with an opening 16, which is used for the assembly and disassembly of the image transmission element 13 and the first battery module 14, such as... Figure 4 The image transmission element 13 and the first battery module 14 can be stacked. The opening 16 can be set in a direction that is parallel or perpendicular to the stacking direction, so that the image transmission element 13 and the first battery module 14 can be installed and removed from the same opening 16.

[0057] In this embodiment, it should be noted that both the image transmission element 13 and the first battery module 14 have corresponding positioning or limiting parts when installed inside the first housing 11, which enables the image transmission element 13 and the first battery module 14 to be reliably installed, ensuring reliable and stable operation. Specifically, the positioning or limiting parts can be in the form of positioning protrusions or snap-fit ​​grooves, which contact the edge of the component to achieve the positioning or limiting effect.

[0058] The first outer casing 11 is detachably connected to a cover 12 that can seal or open the opening 16. The cover 12 can be detachably connected by fasteners such as screws, by clips, by a push-pull mechanism, or by a damping pivot. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0059] By sealing the opening 16 with the cover 12, the internal components can be reliably protected in conjunction with the design of the receiving cavity. To enhance the protective effect, a seal can be installed at the cover 12 or the opening 16 to prevent rainwater, impurities, and other substances from entering the receiving cavity, ensuring a good seal.

[0060] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The cover 12 includes a rotating part 121 rotatably connected to the first outer shell 11. The rotating part 121 has a stepped protrusion 1211 for sealing or opening the opening 16 on the side near the receiving cavity. The outer edge size of the stepped protrusion 1211 increases along the direction near the receiving cavity.

[0061] The rotating part 121 is rotatable relative to the first outer casing 11, so as to achieve the effect of sealing or opening the opening 16 by the cover 12. The specific rotational connection can be achieved by ball joint or shaft joint.

[0062] The rotating part 121 has a stepped protrusion 1211 on the side near the receiving cavity. The stepped protrusion 1211 can be sealed to the opening 16 to achieve the effect of sealing the opening 16. The outer edge size of the stepped protrusion 1211 increases along the direction near the receiving cavity. With this arrangement, if rainwater or impurities enter the stepped protrusion 1211, they will stay in a position relatively away from the receiving cavity, which can further ensure the sealing of the receiving cavity.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the opening 16 of the receiving cavity is also provided with a stepped mounting part, which can reliably engage with the stepped protrusion 1211 to ensure a sealing effect, prevent rainwater or impurities from entering the receiving cavity, and ensure the reliable operation and service life of the components inside the receiving cavity.

[0064] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The rotating part 121 has a flat part 1212 adjacent to the stepped protrusion 1211 on the side near the receiving cavity. An elastic member 15 is provided between the flat part 1212 and the first outer shell 11. The engagement or unlocking of the rotating part 121 and the first outer shell 11 is achieved by means of the toggle button 123. The engagement or unlocking of the rotating part 121 and the first outer shell 11 corresponds to the compression and reset of the elastic member 15.

[0065] When the toggle switch 123 is in the first state, the toggle switch 123 and the groove on the first housing 11 are engaged, that is, the rotating part 121 can be engaged on the first housing 11. In the engaged state, the stepped protrusion 1211 and the opening 16 are sealed together. During the process of the rotating part 121 and the first housing 11 changing from the unlocked state to the engaged state, the flat part 1212 will gradually compress the elastic element 15 as the rotating part 121 rotates, so that the elastic element 15 can obtain a restoring force.

[0066] When the toggle switch 123 is turned to the second state, the rotating part 121 is released from engagement with the groove on the first housing 11, and the restoring force obtained by the elastic member 15 can be used to quickly open the cover 12 when it is opened relative to the opening 16. The opening 16 here specifically refers to the opening 16 for disassembling and assembling the corresponding first battery module 14. The first and second states described above correspond to the two extreme movement positions of the toggle switch 123 in the groove on the rotating part 121.

[0067] In this embodiment, the elastic member 15 can be disposed on the planar portion 1212 or on the first outer shell 11. Taking a specific embodiment as an example, the first outer shell 11 is provided with a groove corresponding to the position of the planar portion 1212, and the elastic member 15 is disposed in the groove. In the initial state, the elastic member 15 protrudes out of the groove, and in the compressed state, the elastic member 15 is located in the groove.

[0068] In this embodiment, the elastic element 15 can be a spring or a ball, and the number of elastic elements 15 provided is not limited.

[0069] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the cover 12 also includes a disassembly part 122 for sealing or opening the side opening 16 corresponding to the image transmission element 13. The disassembly part 122 is installed on the side of the first housing 11 by fasteners. Under normal circumstances, the disassembly part 122 will not be opened. The method of detachable connection by fasteners can ensure the reliability of the image transmission element 13 relative to the first housing 11.

[0070] The assembly / disassembly unit 122 includes a mounting part 1221 and multiple grid strips 1222 located circumferentially around the mounting part 1221. The mounting part 1221 is used to connect to the bracket 4, so that the transmitter 1 can be connected to an external device, including but not limited to the drone 3, via the bracket 4. The arrangement of multiple grid strips 1222 can enhance the structural strength of the assembly / disassembly unit 122, ensuring good impact resistance and load-bearing capacity.

[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The first housing 11 contains a first battery module 14 for providing power to the transmitter 1 and the image capturing end 2. The first battery module 14 is connected to the image transmission element 13 to provide feedback on the power level.

[0072] The first battery module 14 provides power to the image capturing end 2 and the transmitting end 1 in the air. The first battery module 14 can be replaced according to the battery usage to ensure the reliable operation of the infrared imaging system.

[0073] The specific battery usage status can be achieved through the signal connection between the first battery module 14 and the image transmission element 13. The image transmission element 13 can monitor the power level of the first battery module 14, and it needs to be replaced promptly if the power is insufficient. The power level of the first battery module 14 can also be communicated to the ground operator through the signal connection between the image transmission element 13 and the receiver 7. The information can be displayed on the screen or through the settings of the first indicator light 18.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first battery module 14 is installed inside the first housing 11 and can supply power to the image capturing terminal 2, which simplifies the structure of the image capturing terminal 2 and facilitates operations such as angle adjustment based on control commands.

[0075] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The receiver 7 includes a second housing 73 and a main control element 72 disposed in the second housing 73. The main control element 72 is signal connected to the image transmission element 13 and is provided with a transmission interface 78 that can be connected to the user terminal. The user terminal is used to send control commands, receive and display images captured by the image capturing end 2 and the drone 3.

[0076] In addition, the receiver 7 may also be equipped with an image transmission module, which is located in the main control element 72, so as to transmit the infrared image captured by the image capturing end 2 to the user end.

[0077] Specifically, the image data collected by the image capturing end 2 is transmitted to the image transmission element 13 of the transmitting end 1. The data is transmitted to the image transmission module through the image transmission element 13 and then to the user end through the image transmission module so that it can be displayed on the user end (screen or mobile phone); or the user end sends control commands to the image transmission element 13 through the main control element 72 so that the image capturing end 2 can be remotely driven to adjust the shooting angle, shooting mode, shutter correction and other forms.

[0078] The main control element 72 is provided with a transmission interface 78 for connecting to a user terminal, such as a computer. The transmission interface 78 is also known as a signal port, and signal connection between the main control element 72 and the user terminal can be achieved through signal cable connection.

[0079] In this embodiment, the user terminal is used to receive and display images captured by the image capturing terminal 2 and the drone terminal 3. It should be noted that the user terminal can display images captured by the image capturing terminal 2 and images captured by the drone terminal 3, which can be achieved by displaying them on the same screen or by merging them.

[0080] Among them, the simultaneous display includes images captured by the image capturing terminal 2 and images captured by the drone terminal 3, which are displayed independently in separate screen partitions to facilitate the analysis of the consistency of image capture.

[0081] Fusion display is a process of generating a single composite image by aligning the images captured by the image capture terminal 2 and the images captured by the drone terminal 3 at the pixel level based on spatial registration, and combining their respective advantages. It also facilitates the analysis of the consistency effect of image capture.

[0082] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The receiver 7 also includes a pairing button 75 and a pairing indicator light 74 located in the second housing 73 and connected to the main control element 72. The pairing button 75 is used to enable or disable the signal connection between the main control element 72 and the image transmission element 13, and the pairing indicator light 74 is used to indicate the connection status between the main control element 72 and the image transmission element 13.

[0083] By pressing the pairing button 75, the main control element 72 and the image transmission element 13 can establish a remote signal connection, so that the main control element 72 can receive captured images or send control commands.

[0084] In one implementation, during the pairing process between the main control element 72 and the image transmission element 13, the pairing indicator light 74 flashes until the pairing is successful and the pairing indicator light 74 remains constantly lit. If the indicator light does not remain constantly lit after pairing, it indicates that the main control element 72 and the image transmission element 13 have failed to establish remote communication and should be promptly reported to the operator for relevant operations.

[0085] like Figure 9 As shown, the second housing 73 is also provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the main control component 72 and the second battery module 79, which is closed or opened by the rear cover 71.

[0086] Based on any of the above embodiments, the second housing 73 is provided with a fixed bracket 8 and / or an expansion interface 731 for connecting a user terminal. The fixed bracket 8 has an adjustable clamping cavity, and the expansion interface 731 is a tripod interface or a gimbal interface.

[0087] The clamping cavity of the fixed bracket 8 is adjustable in size to accommodate various user terminals, such as mobile phones or computers.

[0088] The expansion interface 731 is a universal tripod or gimbal interface, suitable for connecting external tripods or gimbals.

[0089] The mounting bracket 8 and expansion interface 731 provide greater flexibility for fixing different types of user terminals to the receiver 7, thereby improving the applicability of the infrared imaging system.

[0090] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 A second battery module 79 is detachably connected inside the second housing 73. The second battery module 79 is signal-connected to the main control element 72 to provide feedback on battery usage. The main control element 72 is provided with a charging interface 77 located on the side wall of the second housing 73.

[0091] The second battery module 79 can be disassembled and installed relative to the second housing 73 to facilitate maintenance or replacement according to actual usage, ensuring the reliability of power supply to the receiver 7.

[0092] Since the receiver 7 is located on the ground, if the second battery module 79 is low on power, it can be charged by replacing the second battery module 79 or by connecting an external power source through the charging interface 77.

[0093] The second battery module 79 is connected to the main control element 72 to provide feedback on battery usage. When the second battery module 79 is low on power, the second indicator light 76 on the second housing 73 will flash or change color, so that the operator can be informed in time and take relevant actions.

[0094] Based on any of the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 The transmitter 1 and the image capturing unit 2 are integrated into one unit. Specifically, this integration means that the transmitter 1 and the image capturing unit 2 are electrically connected to form a single assembly, achieved through plugs, sockets, terminal blocks, etc. This integrated assembly can be installed on various external devices according to user needs, meeting the user's high requirements for reliable and stable overall signal transmission of the infrared imaging system.

[0095] In addition to the aforementioned infrared imaging system, this utility model also provides a drone system including the infrared imaging system disclosed in the above embodiments. This drone system further includes a drone 3, with a transmitter 1 and an image capturing end 2 connected to both sides of the drone 3. Specific fixing components may be in the form of straps 5, brackets 4, etc. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10 , Figure 11 .

[0096] By arranging the transmitter 1 and the image capturing end 2 on both sides of the drone 3, the installation of the positioning module on the upper part of the drone 3 and the sensors, cameras and other components on the lower part of the drone 3 is not affected. At the same time, the arrangement on both sides is reasonable to balance the load weight of the drone 3, reducing the impact on the normal flight of the drone 3.

[0097] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referred to each other.
