It is understood that the following description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can conceive of other ways to implement the present invention based on the preferred embodiments; such other ways also fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0032] First, it should be noted that the directional and positional terms in this utility model should be understood as relative directions and positions, not absolute directions and positions. In this utility model, directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back" are merely illustrative and used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may change. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly, encompassing mechanical or electrical connections, internal connections between two components, and direct or indirect connections.

[0033] The following text will mainly refer to Figures 1-4 A detailed description is given of a monitoring device for low-altitude airspace aircraft according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the monitoring device 100 for low-altitude airspace aircraft (hereinafter referred to as "monitoring device 100") includes a base for supporting the monitoring device 3. The base includes a first mounting plate 5 disposed on the top of the base and a second mounting plate 6 disposed on the top of the first mounting plate 5. The first mounting plate 5 is generally square in shape, and the monitoring device 3 is mounted on one side of the first mounting plate 5. In a preferred embodiment, the monitoring device 3 includes multiple cameras and multiple sensors. Preferably, the multiple cameras and multiple sensors are arranged on the same side of the first mounting plate 5 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The front side of the first mounting plate 5 is arranged in a row along the long side parallel to the side of the first mounting plate 5. In one embodiment, the multiple sensors may include a radar sensor, an infrared sensor, and a weather sensor. The radar sensor is capable of detecting and locating aircraft in low-altitude airspace in real time, the infrared sensor is used to detect the thermal radiation signal of the aircraft to improve the accuracy of monitoring, and the weather sensor monitors the weather conditions in the airspace in real time to provide data support for flight safety.

[0035] The monitoring device 100 also includes a first drive unit 4 and a first cleaning device 8a. The first drive unit 4 may be configured as a motor and is disposed on the left side of the first mounting plate 5. The first cleaning device 8a is attached to the first mounting plate 5 and includes a cleaning surface arranged adjacent to and facing the monitoring device 3 to facilitate cleaning of the monitoring device 3. The first drive unit 4 is operatively connected to the first cleaning device 8a, thereby enabling it to drive the first cleaning device 8a to perform reciprocating linear motion.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first sliding groove 20 is provided on the first mounting plate 5. The first sliding groove 20 is located on the side of the first mounting plate 5 closest to the monitoring device 3, that is, the front side of the first mounting plate 5. The first sliding groove 20 extends along the long side of the side of the first mounting plate 5 where the monitoring device 3 is located, that is, the extension direction of the first sliding groove 20 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the multiple cameras or sensors on the monitoring device 3. A first lead screw 21 and a first slider 22 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 21 are provided in the first sliding groove 20. A portion of the first lead screw 21 is rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the first sliding groove 20, and the first slider 22 is slidably connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the first sliding groove 20, so that it can slide within the first sliding groove 20. The first lead screw 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the first drive device 4. The front side of the first slider 22 extends through the first slide groove 20 to the outside and is fixedly connected to the first cleaning device 8a. Thus, when the first lead screw 21 is driven to rotate by the first drive device 4, the first slider 22 reciprocates along the first lead screw 21, thereby driving the first cleaning device 8a to perform reciprocating linear motion.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first cleaning device 8a is generally constructed as a cuboid-shaped cleaning plate, which is preferably constructed as a hollow plate. A brush layer (not shown) is provided on the cleaning surface of the cleaning plate facing the monitoring device 3 to facilitate cleaning dust on the monitoring device 3.

[0038] Preferably, the monitoring device 100 further includes a fan 10 mounted on the upper end of the first mounting plate 5, and the air outlet of the fan 10 is in fluid communication with the interior of the hollow cleaning plate through a corrugated pipe 9. Furthermore, a plurality of air outlets 12 are provided on the cleaning surface of the cleaning plate facing the monitoring device 3, wherein the plurality of air outlets 12 penetrate the brush layer.

[0039] When cleaning the monitoring device 3 is required, the fan 10 and the first drive device 4 can be started simultaneously. After the fan 10 is started, it will blow air into the cleaning plate through the corrugated pipe 9, and finally exhaust the air from the multiple air outlets 12 on the multiple cleaning plates, blowing it onto the surface of the monitoring device 3 to clean the surface of the monitoring device 3. At the same time, after the first drive device 4 is started, it will drive the first lead screw 15 to rotate, thereby driving the first slider 22 to slide linearly left and right. Then the first slider 22 drives the first cleaning device 8a (cleaning plate) to move back and forth left and right, so that the multiple air outlets 12 move to perform a comprehensive cleaning of the monitoring device 3. Combined with the cleaning of the brush layer, the cleaning efficiency is further improved.

[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the base further includes a second mounting plate 6, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the first mounting plate 5, and the second mounting plate 6 is arranged at an angle to the first mounting plate 5. The monitoring device 100 also includes a solar panel 7, which is disposed on the top surface of the second mounting plate 6 and is configured to power the monitoring device 3.

[0041] Preferably, the monitoring device 100 further includes a second cleaning device 8b, which is attached to the second mounting plate 6 and includes a cleaning surface adjacent to and facing the solar panel 7. The second cleaning device 8b is configured to be driven by the first driving device to perform reciprocating linear motion to clean the solar panel 7.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a second sliding groove 14 is provided on the second mounting plate 6. The second sliding groove 14 is located on the side of the second mounting plate 6 near the first sliding groove 20, and the extension direction of the second sliding groove 14 is consistent with the extension direction of the first sliding groove 20. A second lead screw 15 and a second slider 13 threadedly connected to the second lead screw 15 are provided in the second sliding groove 14. A portion of the second lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the left and right inner walls of the second sliding groove 14, and the second slider 13 is slidably connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the second sliding groove 14, allowing it to slide within the second sliding groove 14. The front side of the second slider 13 extends through the second sliding groove 14 to the outside and is fixedly connected to the second cleaning device 8b. Thus, when the second lead screw 15 is driven to rotate by the first driving device 4, the second slider 13 causes the second cleaning device 8b to perform a reciprocating linear motion.

[0043] In one embodiment, one end of the second lead screw 15 extends through the second slide groove 14 to the outside of the second mounting plate 6, and one end of the first lead screw 21 extends through the first slide groove 20 to the outside of the first mounting plate 5. The monitoring device also includes a synchronization device configured to enable the first lead screw and the second lead screw to rotate synchronously. In one embodiment, the synchronization device includes a synchronization belt 11 and a pair of synchronization pulleys 16. The pair of synchronization pulleys 16 are respectively connected to one end of the first lead screw 21 and one end of the second lead screw 15. The two synchronization pulleys 16 are connected by the synchronization belt 11, thereby enabling the first lead screw 21 and the second lead screw 15 to rotate synchronously, and causing the first slider 22 and the second slider 13 to drive the first cleaning device 8a and the second cleaning device 8b to reciprocate left and right, respectively.

[0044] Preferably, the first cleaning device 8a and the second cleaning device 8b have substantially the same structure, that is, both are constructed as hollow cleaning plates, and the side of the cleaning plate facing the monitoring device 3 or the solar panel 7 is provided with multiple air outlets 12 and a brush layer. More preferably, the air outlet of the fan 10 is also in fluid communication with the interior of the second cleaning device 8b through another corrugated pipe 9.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the monitoring device 100 further includes a control device electrically connected to the first drive device 4 and the fan 10, and capable of controlling the actuation of the first drive device 4 and the fan 10 as well as controlling the direction of rotation of the output shaft of the first drive device.

[0046] Preferably, the monitoring device 100 further includes a second drive device 17, which can be configured as a motor. The output shaft of the second drive device 17 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 5. The control device is electrically connected to the second drive device 17, thereby controlling the actuation of the second drive device 17 and the direction of rotation of the output shaft. By inputting a predetermined program into the control device, the control device can control the output shaft of the second drive device 17 to rotate with the aircraft, thereby driving the first mounting plate 5 and the monitoring device 3 mounted on the first mounting plate to rotate, and thus collecting the flight status information of the aircraft.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring device 100 also includes a vertical column 1 with a cavity inside. A second drive device 17 is disposed in the cavity of the column 1, and its output shaft extends to the upper end of the column 1 and is fixedly connected to a first mounting plate 5, which is disposed on the top of the column 1. In the illustrated embodiment, the control device is disposed on the right side of the column 1. It is understood that those skilled in the art can also place the control device in other locations according to actual needs.

[0048] According to the above-described monitoring device 100, when it is necessary to clean the monitoring device 3 or the solar panel 7, the fan 10 and the first drive device 4 can be started simultaneously. After the fan 10 is started, it will blow air into the two cleaning plates (i.e., the first cleaning device 8a and the second cleaning device 8b) through two corrugated pipes 9 respectively, and finally exhaust the air from the multiple air outlets 12 of the two cleaning plates, blowing it onto the surface of the monitoring device 3 and the solar panel 7 to clean the surface of the monitoring device 3 and the solar panel 7. At the same time, after the first drive device 4 is started, it will drive the first lead screw 21 to rotate. Since the first lead screw 21 and the second lead screw 15 are connected by a synchronous transmission belt 11, the first lead screw 21 and the second lead screw 15 can rotate synchronously, so that the first slider 22 and the second slider 13 drive the corresponding cleaning plates to move back and forth, thereby making the multiple air outlets 12 move to perform a comprehensive cleaning of the monitoring device 3 and the solar panel 7. Combined with the brush layer on the cleaning plate, the cleaning efficiency can be further improved.

[0049] The above description of various embodiments of this utility model is provided for the purpose of description to a person skilled in the art. It is not intended to exclude or limit the utility model to a single disclosed embodiment. As taught above, those skilled in the art will understand that various alternatives and variations of this utility model are possible. For example, the motor + lead screw driven brush method mentioned above can also be a linear motor driven brush method. Therefore, although some alternative embodiments have been specifically described, those skilled in the art will understand or relatively easily develop other embodiments. This utility model is intended to include all alternatives, modifications, and variations of the utility model described herein, as well as other embodiments falling within the spirit and scope of the utility model described above.
