Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a security patrol UAV. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as unmanned aircraft or remote-controlled aircraft, are aircraft that do not require a pilot to operate. They are navigated and controlled through ground control stations or autonomous control systems. UAVs have a wide range of applications, from military reconnaissance to civilian fields such as agriculture, logistics, and security monitoring.
[0003] When handling large-scale area inspection tasks, drones can efficiently replace manual operation, especially suitable for inaccessible or dangerous areas such as nature reserves, virgin forests, and desolate deserts. However, in remote areas with weak signal strength and scarce map data, relying solely on traditional GPS or other satellite navigation systems may not fully guarantee the safety and accuracy of drone flights. Due to the lack of accurate map data and effective obstacle avoidance technologies, drones are highly likely to collide with obstacles such as trees and mountains during flight.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a security patrol drone to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantage of drones being prone to collisions with obstacles when performing automatic inspection tasks in remote areas, this utility model provides a security inspection drone.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical means: a security patrol drone, comprising a support frame, a camera, a battery, a charging port, a circuit board, a chip, a radar, a motor, a propeller, a shell, and landing gear. The support frame is fixedly connected inside the shell, and the four support rods of the support frame extend to the outside of the shell. The camera is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the shell. The battery is fixedly connected to the right side inside the support frame, and the charging port is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame. The charging port is connected to the battery via wires, and the charging slot portion of the charging port passes through the shell and is exposed to the outside. The circuit board is fixedly connected to the left side inside the support frame, and the circuit board is connected to the battery and the camera via wires. A chip is electrically connected to the circuit board. The radar is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the shell, and the radar is connected to the circuit board via wires. Each of the four support rods of the support frame is fixedly connected to a motor, and each motor is connected to the circuit board via wires. A propeller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of each motor. Landing gears are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell.
[0007] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes a speaker, with the speaker fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame. The speaker is located inside the housing and connected to the circuit board via wires. Multiple sound transmission holes are provided on the lower left side of the housing, and the speaker is aligned with these multiple sound transmission holes.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes annular baffles, with annular baffles fixedly connected to each of the four support rods of the support frame. The number of annular baffles is the same as the number of propellers, and each annular baffle blocks the corresponding propeller from the circumferential direction.
[0009] As a further preferred option, a glass cover is also included, with the lower part of the camera fixedly connected to the glass cover.
[0010] As a further preferred option, both the outer shell and the annular baffle are made of impact-resistant materials.
[0011] As a further preferred option, the camera is equipped with an infrared thermal imaging module.
[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. This utility model detects the surrounding environment through radar and feeds it back to the chip to assist in path planning and obstacle avoidance, thereby improving flight safety. At the same time, the combination of satellite navigation and radar enables UAVs to conduct autonomous inspections in large areas such as forest reserves.
[0013] 2. This utility model uses a camera and a speaker to work together to provide timely warnings to people who illegally enter the protected area. This function effectively replaces the traditional manual driving method, improving response speed and inspection efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example: A security patrol drone, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a support frame 1, a camera 2, a battery 3, a charging port 4, a circuit board 5, a chip 6, a radar 7, a motor 8, a propeller 9, a speaker 10, a housing 11, a ring-shaped baffle 12, a glass cover 13, and a landing gear 14. The support frame 1 is fixedly connected inside the housing 11, and the four support rods of the support frame 1 extend to the outside of the housing 11. The camera 2 is bolted to the bottom center of the housing 11. The camera 2 is equipped with an infrared thermal imaging module, which allows it to perform nighttime inspections, especially when facing obstacles such as trees. Even when obstructed, the obstructed heat source, such as warm-blooded animals, humans, and flames, can still be observed. A battery 3 is bolted to the right side of the support frame 1. A charging port 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame 1, and the charging port 4 is connected to the battery 3 via a wire. The charging slot portion of the charging port 4 passes through the outer casing 11 and is exposed to the outside for charging. A circuit board 5 is bolted to the left side of the support frame 1, and the circuit board 5 is connected to the battery 3 via a wire. The circuit board 5 is also connected to the camera 2 via a wire. A chip 6 is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. A radar 7 is bolted to the top center of the outer casing 11, and the radar 7 is connected to the circuit board 5 via a wire. A motor 8 is bolted to each of the four support rods of the support frame 1, and each motor 8 is connected to the circuit board 5 via a wire. A propeller 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of each motor 8. A speaker 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the support frame 1. The speaker 10 is located inside the outer casing 11 and is connected to the circuit board 5 via a wire. Multiple sound transmission holes are opened on the lower left side of the outer casing 11, and the speaker 10 is aligned with these sound transmission holes. The four support rods of the support frame 1... Each of the upper parts is fixedly connected to an annular baffle 12, and the number of annular baffles 12 is the same as that of the propellers 9. Each annular baffle 12 blocks the corresponding propeller 9 from the circumferential direction. The outer shell 11 and the annular baffles 12 are both made of impact-resistant material. The outer shell 11 and the annular baffles 12 made of impact-resistant material can better protect the internal parts from damage when the device is collided. A glass cover 13 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the camera 2. The bottom of the outer shell 11 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear of the landing gear 14. The landing gear 14 can make the device park stably on the flat surface.
[0020] When large-scale area inspection tasks are required, such as in forest reserves, staff can connect to this device via mobile phone or computer, set the inspection range and path in the software, and after checking that the device has sufficient power, start motor 8 to make its output shaft drive propeller 9 to rotate at high speed and launch the device. The device will fly along the preset path under the help of satellite navigation. Camera 2 will monitor in real time and transmit the monitoring images to chip 6. Staff can see the images transmitted by chip 6 on the operating device. Staff can also adjust the direction of camera 2 through the operating device to achieve wide-area monitoring. After the device takes off, radar 7 will automatically start to detect the surrounding geographical environment and transmit the environmental information to chip 6. Chip 6 will combine the information detected by radar 7 and the images observed by camera 2 to avoid obstacles on the flight path. After the device completes the inspection, it can be collected at the predetermined location. After multiple inspection tasks, if the power is insufficient, it can be charged through charging port 4 to charge battery 3.
[0021] During the inspection, if any personnel are found to have entered the protected area in violation of regulations, the loudspeaker 10 can be used to call out to the violators, reminding them that they have entered the protected area and should leave as soon as possible. The outer casing 11 and the annular baffle 12 can prevent the internal parts of the device from being damaged by bumps. The outer casing 11 can prevent the internal electronic parts from short-circuiting and failing due to rain during light rain. The through holes on the outer casing 11 can allow the sound emitted by the loudspeaker 10 to propagate. The glass cover 13 can protect the camera 2 from external dust contamination.
