Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of reflective marking devices, and more particularly to a ground marking device for monitoring animal plague using unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Reflectors are typically used as auxiliary tools in photography and videography, usually by hand. However, in certain scenarios, handheld operation is not feasible. For example, when using a drone to monitor the number of rats on a certain area of ​​ground, multiple reflectors need to be placed on the ground as marking devices. Since these reflectors need to remain on the ground for extended periods, handheld operation is not possible. After the drone captures an image of the area, the locations of the reflectors will be marked in the image. Users can then divide the ground into multiple areas based on these markings and analyze the number of rats in each area. However, in this scenario, windy weather can be problematic. Because existing reflectors cannot be directly fixed to the ground, they can be blown away by the wind, rendering the monitoring impossible.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing reflectors consist of a circular frame and reflective fabric. The frame is usually a single unit. When storing, the user twists the frame, turning the circular frame into a figure-eight shape, and then uses a storage bag for storage. However, even when the frame is twisted into a figure-eight shape, the reflective fabric inside the reflector remains taut. In other words, in existing reflectors, the reflective fabric is always taut, whether during unfolding or storage. This prolonged tautness accelerates the damage to the reflective fabric, thus shortening the overall lifespan of the reflector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ground marking device for monitoring animal plague using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a ground marking device for monitoring animal plague by drone, comprising a reflector and a fixing assembly for fixing the reflector to the ground. The reflector comprises a circular frame and a reflective cloth installed on the frame. The frame comprises multiple detachable support rods, and a straight mounting post is provided between two adjacent support rods. The fixing assembly comprises at least two fixing frames, which are respectively installed on the mounting post. The fixing frames are provided with detachable fixing parts, which are used to fix the fixing frames to the ground.

[0006] 1) When multiple support rods are combined to form a frame, the reflective cloth is unfolded on the frame, so that the reflective cloth is in a taut state. When the multiple support rods are disassembled, the reflective cloth is in a loose state. That is to say, the reflective cloth in this application is only in a taut state when it is unfolded. Compared with the existing technology, the reflective cloth is always in a taut state whether it is unfolded or stored, the reflective cloth in this application has a longer service life.

[0007] 2) At the same time, the frame in this embodiment can be disassembled into multiple support rods. After the support rods and reflective cloth are separated, the reflective cloth can be folded. Compared with the prior art, which requires a storage bag for each reflector, this application uses a storage bag to store multiple reflectors at the same time, thereby improving the portability of the reflectors.

[0008] 3) By setting a fixed frame on the frame and setting a detachable fastener on the fixed frame, the fixed frame is fixed to the ground by the fastener during use, so that the reflector is fixed to the ground. When encountering windy weather, the wind cannot blow the reflector on the ground. Therefore, the image captured by the drone can contain all the reflective marks, so the user can crop the image according to the marks in the image, and the cropped image corresponds to a relatively accurate area.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support rod includes an arc-shaped support section and a straight front connecting section and a rear connecting section located at both ends of the support section. The front connecting section and the rear connecting section on two adjacent support rods form a straight mounting column.

[0010] When two adjacent support rods are combined, the arc-shaped support section is adjacent to the mounting column. When the fixing frame is installed on the mounting column, the fixing frame can only rotate and move on the mounting column, thereby preventing the fixing frame from contacting the reflective cloth during use and avoiding damage to the reflective cloth.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting post is coaxially provided at the end of the front connecting section, the cross-section of the connecting post being polygonal, and an installation groove adapted to the connecting post is provided on the rear connecting section.

[0012] Since the cross-sections of the connecting column and the mounting groove are both polygonal, when the two support rods are combined, the two adjacent support rods will not rotate along the axes of the front and rear connecting sections.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an installation opening is provided on one side of the mounting groove, and the installation opening extends toward the center of the support section.

[0014] Since the direction of the mounting opening extends towards the center of the support section, when two adjacent support rods are combined, the installation direction of the connecting column on the support rod is to move away from the center of the reflective cloth along the radial direction of the reflective cloth. This is equivalent to applying a tension to the outer edge of the reflective cloth during the process of installing the connecting column into the mounting groove. When the four support rods are combined into a frame, it ensures that the reflective cloth can be fully extended.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reflective fabric includes a circular reflective area and a plurality of connecting parts distributed on the outer edge of the reflective area. The number of connecting parts is the same as the number of support rods. A fixing opening is provided between two adjacent connecting parts, and an insertion hole adapted to the support rod is provided on the connecting part.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing frame includes an openable and closable base plate and a fixing plate. The ends of the fixing plate and the base plate are rotatably connected. Both the fixing plate and the base plate are provided with semi-circular slots. When the base plate and the fixing plate are closed, the two semi-circular slots combine to form a mounting hole that matches the mounting column. Both the fixing plate and the base plate are provided with multiple fixing holes. The fixing element is detachably installed in the fixing hole.

[0017] The fixed plate and the base plate are connected by rotation. When storing, the fixed plate and the base plate can be opened, allowing the entire frame to be separated from the skeleton and easily put into the storage bag, improving its overall portability. At the same time, fixing holes are provided on both the fixed plate and the base plate. When the fixing parts pass through the fixing holes, the base plate and the fixed plate can be fixed to the ground at the same time, which can quickly fix the reflector to the ground.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing component further includes a bracket, which includes an extension plate and a connecting plate. The extension plate and the connecting plate are detachably connected. A plurality of ground nail holes are arranged on the fixing section, and a plurality of adjustment holes adapted to the fixing holes are arranged on the extension plate.

[0019] By setting the ground stake holes, the fixing parts can pass through the ground stake holes to fix the connecting plate to the ground. Then, one of the fixing brackets on the reflector is fixed to the ground, and the other fixing bracket is installed on the extension plate by fasteners. When the fasteners are installed in different adjustment holes, the tilt angle of the reflector to the ground is different.

[0020] In addition to the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the advantages brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions as described above, other technical problems that the present invention can solve, other technical features contained in the technical solutions, and the advantages brought about by these technical features will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5As shown in this embodiment, the ground marking device for drone monitoring of animal plague is installed on the ground. After the drone takes a picture of the ground, the user can divide the ground into multiple areas based on the position of the reflective marking device in the image taken by the drone, and then perform corresponding analysis on each area. For example, multiple reflective marking devices are installed on a piece of ground, with a distinction formed between four adjacent reflective marking devices. When the drone takes a picture of the ground, the reflective marking devices will generate corresponding marks in the image taken by the drone. The operator can quickly crop the image into multiple areas based on the marks in the image, thereby analyzing the specific situation of animals (such as rats) in each area. In actual work, reflectors are usually used as reflective marking devices. However, existing reflectors cannot be directly fixed to the ground. When encountering windy weather, the reflectors are easily blown away, resulting in the misalignment of the marks in the image taken by the drone, or even the absence of all marks in the image taken by the drone. This leads to different areas for each region when the user crops the image, or the inability to crop according to the marks in the image.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the ground marking device for monitoring animal plague using drones provided in this embodiment includes a reflector 01 and a fixing assembly for fixing the reflector 01 to the ground. The reflector 01 includes a frame 02 and a reflective cloth 03 installed on the frame 02. The frame 02 is composed of multiple support rods 04. In this embodiment, the frame 02 is composed of four support rods 04. Each support rod 04 includes an arc-shaped support section 05 and a straight front connecting section 06 and a rear connecting section 07 located at both ends of the support section 05. A connecting post 08 is coaxially provided at the end of the front connecting section 06. The connecting post 08 extends away from the support section 05 along the axis of the front connecting section 06. The cross-section of the connecting post 08 is polygonal. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the connecting post 08 is quadrilateral. In other embodiments, the cross-section of the connecting post 08 can be triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, or other shapes. The rear connecting section 07 is provided with a mounting groove 10 extending towards the support section 05. The cross-section of the mounting groove 10 is the same as the transverse shape of the connecting column 08. The connecting column 08 is provided with a threaded hole 11, and the rear connecting section 07 is provided with a through hole 12 penetrating the mounting groove 10. A mounting opening 13 is provided on one side of the mounting groove 10, and the mounting opening 13 extends towards the center of the support section 05.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the reflective fabric 03 includes a circular reflective area 14 and a plurality of connecting parts 15 distributed on the outer edge of the reflective area 14. The connecting parts 15 are integrally formed with the reflective area 14. The number of connecting parts 15 is the same as the number of the support rods 04. A fixing port 16 is provided between two adjacent connecting parts 15. The connecting parts 15 are provided with insertion holes 17 that are adapted to the support rods 04.

[0031] When assembling the reflector 01, first insert the support rod 04 into the insertion hole 17 of the connecting part 15, and position the front connecting section 06 and the rear connecting section 07 at both ends of the support rod 04 in two adjacent fixing holes 16. Then, assemble two adjacent support rods 04 by inserting the connecting post 08 on one support rod 04 into the mounting groove 10 on the other support rod 04. Then, use a fastener to thread it through the through hole 12 and thread it into the threaded hole 11 on the connecting post 08, thereby assembling two adjacent support rods 04 together. In this embodiment, the fastener is a wing screw. Use the same method to assemble four support rods 04 into a frame 02. During the assembly of the frame 02, the reflective cloth 03 is simultaneously unfolded, so that the reflective cloth 03 is tensioned on the frame 02.

[0032] Since the cross-sections of the connecting column 08 and the mounting groove 10 are both polygonal, when the two support rods 04 are combined, the two adjacent support rods 04 will not rotate along the axes of the front connecting section 06 and the rear connecting section 07.

[0033] After the two adjacent support rods 04 are combined, the front connecting section 06 and the rear connecting section 07 on the two adjacent support rods 04 form a straight mounting post 18. The mounting post 18 is located in the aforementioned fixing port 16, and the aforementioned fixing components are installed on the mounting post 18.

[0034] Due to the design of the mounting port 13, when assembling two adjacent support rods 04, the mounting direction of the connecting post 08 on the support rod 04 is moved radially away from the center of the reflective cloth 03. This is equivalent to applying tension to the outer edge of the reflective cloth 03 during the installation of the connecting post 08 into the mounting groove 10, ensuring that the reflective area 14 in the reflective cloth 03 can be fully extended after the four support rods 04 are combined into the frame 02.

[0035] When disassembling the reflector 01, first remove the fasteners, then remove the connecting post 08 along the direction of the mounting opening 13, thereby disassembling the two adjacent support rods 04. Finally, remove the support rods 04 from the insertion holes 17 on the reflective cloth 03. After the support rods 04 are removed from the insertion holes 17, the tension on the reflective cloth 03 disappears, and the user can fold the reflective cloth 03 and store it together with the support rods 04.

[0036] In the prior art, when storing the reflector 01, a person twists the frame 02, turning a circular frame 02 into a figure-eight shape, and then uses a storage bag for storage. The storage bag restrains the frame 02 during storage, preventing the frame 02 from automatically changing from a figure-eight shape to a circle. Therefore, in the prior art, one storage bag corresponds to one reflector 01 for use. When the frame 02 in the reflector 01 is twisted into a figure-eight shape, the reflective cloth 03 in the reflector 01 remains taut. In other words, in the prior art, the reflective cloth 03 on the reflector 01 is always taut during both unfolding and storage. This prolonged tautness accelerates the damage to the reflective cloth 03, thereby shortening the overall service life of the reflector 01.

[0037] Therefore, in this embodiment, when multiple support rods 04 are combined to form a frame 02, the reflective cloth 03 unfolds on the frame 02, keeping the reflective cloth 03 in a taut state. When the multiple support rods 04 are disassembled, the reflective cloth 03 is in a loose state. That is to say, in this embodiment, the reflective cloth 03 is only in a taut state when unfolded, thus the reflective cloth 03 has a longer service life. At the same time, the frame 02 in this embodiment can be disassembled into multiple support rods 04. After the support rods 04 and the reflective cloth 03 are separated, the reflective cloth 03 can be folded. Therefore, multiple reflectors 01 can be stored in one storage bag, thereby improving the portability of the reflectors 01.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , 4As shown, the fixing assembly includes two fixing frames 19, which are arranged opposite each other on the reflector 01. The fixing frames 19 are located within the fixing opening 16 and mounted on the mounting post 18 of the frame 02. Each fixing frame 19 includes a base plate 20 and a fixing plate 21. The ends of the fixing plate 21 and the base plate 20 are rotatably connected by a hinge, allowing the base plate 20 and the fixing plate 21 to open and close around the hinge. Both the fixing plate 21 and the base plate 20 are provided with semi-circular slots 22. When the base plate 20 and the fixing plate 21 are closed, the two semi-circular slots 22 combine to form a mounting hole that fits the mounting post 18. Since the support section 05 is arc-shaped, when the fixing frame 19 is mounted on the mounting post 18, the fixing frame can only rotate and move on the mounting post 18. Both the fixing plate 21 and the base plate 20 are provided with multiple fixing holes 23. Fixing elements are provided in the fixing holes 23 to simultaneously fix the base plate 20 and the fixing plate 21 to the ground. In this embodiment, the fixing elements are ground screws or tent pegs. In other embodiments, the length of the fixing plate 21 is less than the length of the base plate 20. Fasteners, such as bolts and nuts, are used to fix the fixing plate 21 and the base plate 20. Then, multiple fixing holes 23 are provided on the base plate 20. The aforementioned fasteners are used to fix the base plate 20 to the ground by passing through the fixing holes 23. At the same time, the fixing bracket 19 separates from the ground after the fasteners are pulled out.

[0039] When in use, the reflector 01 is first assembled. After the reflector 01 is assembled, the fixing frame 19 is installed in the two opposite fixing holes 16 on the reflector 01. The fixing frame 19 fixes the reflector 01 to the ground to prevent the reflector 01 from moving under the action of external force.

[0040] Then, the mounting bracket 19 is opened, and one end of the mounting plate 21 passes through the mounting hole 16 on the reflector 01, so that the mounting post 18 on the frame 02 is located in the mounting hole between the base plate 20 and the mounting plate 21. Then, the reflector 01 and the base plate 20 are laid flat on the ground, and the base plate 20 and the mounting plate 21 are simultaneously fixed to the ground using fasteners passing through the mounting holes 23 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, this fixes the reflector 01 to the ground, so that even in windy weather, the wind cannot blow the reflector 01 off the ground.

[0041] Please see Figure 5As shown, the fixing assembly includes a bracket 24, which includes an extension plate 25 and a connecting plate 26. The connecting plate 26 includes a connecting section 27 and a fixing section 28, which are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The fixing section 28 has multiple ground stake holes 29 arranged on it. Fixing members are installed in the ground stake holes 29 to fix the connecting plate 26 to the ground. Both the extension plate 25 and the connecting section 27 have connecting holes 30. Fasteners are installed in the connecting holes 30 to securely connect the extension plate 25 and the connecting plate 26. The extension plate 25 has multiple adjustment holes 31 arranged on it, which are adapted to the fixing holes 23.

[0042] In practical use, if the reflector 01 needs to be installed at an angle on the ground, firstly, the extension plate 25 is fixed to the connecting section 27 of the connecting plate 26 using fasteners, and then the connecting plate 26 is fixed to the ground using fasteners. To achieve the assembly of the bracket 24, since the reflector 01 in this example has two fixing brackets 19, one fixing bracket 19 is fixed to the ground using fasteners, and the other fixing bracket 19 is installed on the extension plate 25 using fasteners (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown). Because multiple adjustment holes 31 are arranged on the extension plate 25, the tilt angle between the reflector 01 and the ground is different when the fixing frame 19 is installed in different adjustment holes 31. When the tilt angle is small, the end of the extension plate 25 can pass through the fixing hole 16 on the reflective cloth 03 to avoid interference between the extension plate 25 and the reflective cloth 03.

[0043] If the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
