Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geological exploration technology, and in particular to a geological exploration and mapping drone. Background Technology

[0002] Geological surveying and mapping is a core component in mineral resource exploration, engineering geological evaluation, and geological disaster monitoring. The accuracy and efficiency of its data directly impact the scientific validity of engineering decisions. Current geological surveying primarily utilizes unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with various geophysical instruments to achieve high-resolution physical detection. However, in existing technologies, the installation of UAVs and instruments is generally achieved through the UAV's hoisting structure, which is prone to shaking during operation. This not only affects the accuracy of the survey data but also poses certain safety hazards, potentially causing unnecessary losses. Therefore, we propose a geological surveying and mapping UAV.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model; Reference Figure 1-6 A geological survey and mapping drone includes a drone body 1, a connecting block 19 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1, a mounting frame 2 detachably mounted on the connecting block 19, a survey drone body 3 movably disposed within the mounting frame 2, limit plates 13 provided on the left and right sides of the survey drone body 3, the other end of the limit plates 13 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 2, a set of limit grooves 4 extending through the upper two sides of the mounting frame 2, upper fixing components disposed within the limit grooves 4, and several equally spaced mounting grooves 7 extending through the two sides of the mounting frame 2 near the back of the survey drone body 3, rear fixing components disposed within the mounting grooves 7.

[0015] This device uses the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) body 1 as its basic platform to ensure that the device can fly to the predetermined area for surveying and mapping. The connecting block 19 is fixed to the bottom of the UAV body 1 to ensure the stable installation of the surveying body 3. The mounting frame 2 is detachably connected to the connecting block 19 to facilitate quick replacement or maintenance of the surveying body 3. The limiting plate 13 is used to limit the movement range of the surveying body 3 to prevent it from falling off or being damaged during operation. The upper fixing part in the limiting groove 4 is used to fix the upper part of the surveying body 3 to ensure its stability during flight. The rear fixing part in the mounting groove 7 is used to further fix the surveying body 3 to increase its safety and reliability during operation and ensure the best surveying results.

[0016] As an optional implementation, the upper fixing member includes a fixing plate 5 that is fixedly engaged in the limiting groove 4. The upper end of the fixing plate 5 is provided with three sets of equally spaced pressing members 6. The fixing plate 5 and the pressing members 6 are connected by threads.

[0017] The upper fixing component mainly includes a fixing plate 5 that is fixedly engaged in the limiting groove 4, and three sets of equally spaced pressing members 6 set on the upper end of the fixing plate 5. The fixing plate 5 and the pressing members 6 are connected by threads to achieve stable fixing of the surveying body 3 by the pressing members 6. When the surveying body 3 is installed in the mounting frame 2, the fixing plate 5 first engages in the limiting groove 4 to ensure the initial positioning of the surveying body 3. Then, by rotating the pressing members 6, it moves downward along the threads until it is in close contact with the upper part of the surveying body 3 and generates sufficient pressure. This pressure can ensure that the surveying body 3 will not shake or fall off during flight, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the survey. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 5 and the pressing members 6, the upper fixing component can achieve stable fixing of the surveying body 3. This fixing method is not only simple and reliable, but also adaptable to surveying bodies 3 of different sizes and shapes, improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the rear fixing component includes a side abutment plate 8 that is movably engaged in the mounting groove 7. Both ends of the side abutment plate 8 pass through the mounting groove 7 and are detachably connected to limit blocks 12. The side abutment plate 8 is provided with multiple sets of equally spaced threaded abutment rods 9. The threaded abutment rods 9 are threadedly connected to the side abutment plate 8. A first abutment block 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded abutment rod 9 near the surveying machine body 3, and a triangular wrench 11 is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded abutment rod 9.

[0019] After the surveying unit 3 is installed into the mounting bracket 2, the side abutment plate 8 first engages with the mounting groove 7 to ensure the initial positioning of the surveying unit 3. Then, by rotating the triangular wrench 11, the threaded abutment rod 9 is rotated along the thread and moved towards the surveying unit 3. When the first abutment block 10 is in close contact with the surveying unit 3 and generates sufficient pressure, the surveying unit 3 is stably fixed. The limit block 12 is designed to prevent the side abutment plate 8 from moving excessively or falling off in the mounting groove 7, ensuring the stability of the rear fixing component.

[0020] As an optional implementation, the pressing member 6 includes a screw 601 threadedly engaged with the fixed plate 5, a screwing block 602 welded to the upper end of the screw 601, and a rotating block 603 fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 601 through the fixed plate 5. A pressing block 604 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating block 603.

[0021] After the surveying machine body 3 is installed into the mounting bracket 2, the fixing plate 5 engages with the limiting groove 4, providing initial positioning for the surveying machine body 3. Subsequently, by rotating the screw block 602, the screw 601 is driven to rotate along the thread on the fixing plate 5. The rotation of the screw 601 will drive the rotating block 603 and the abutment block 604 fitted outside the rotating block 603 to move together. When the abutment block 604 is in close contact with the upper part of the surveying machine body 3 and generates sufficient pressure, the surveying machine body 3 is stably fixed. By adjusting the degree of rotation of the screw 601, the tightness of the fixing of the surveying machine body 3 can be finely adjusted.

[0022] Preferably, a slot 14 is fixedly provided on the side of the mounting frame 2 near the front end of the surveying machine body 3, and an observation screen 15 is movably provided in the slot 14; wherein, the observation screen 15 is made of transparent visual material.

[0023] After the surveying aircraft 3 is installed in the mounting frame 2, the observation screen 15 is fixed to the front end of the surveying aircraft 3 through the slot 14. The operator can clearly see the front end of the surveying aircraft 3 through the observation screen 15, including the terrain, landforms, geological structure, etc. This design allows the operator to observe the front end of the surveying aircraft 3 in real time during flight, so as to better carry out surveying and mapping operations.

[0024] Preferably, a set of symmetrically arranged mounting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the upper two sides of the mounting bracket 2. The mounting plates 16 are movably arranged on both sides of the connecting block 19. A set of threaded connecting rods 17 are provided through the mounting plates 16 and the connecting block 19. The other end of the threaded connecting rods 17 is engaged with a fixing nut 18.

[0025] By rotating the fixing nut 18, the threaded connecting rod 17 can be driven to rotate and move within the connecting block 19, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the mounting frame 2 and the unmanned aerial vehicle body 1, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0026] In use, the surveying unit 3 is first placed in the mounting frame 2, ensuring its front end is in close contact with the limiting plate 13. Then, the pressure on the surveying unit 3 is adjusted by rotating the pressure member 6 (i.e., the screw block 602 on the screw 601) in the upper fixing component until it is stably fixed. Similarly, the pressure on the back of the surveying unit 3 is adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 9 in the rear fixing component (using a triangular wrench 11) to achieve a stable fixing effect. Then, the mounting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the drone body 1 using the mounting plate 16, threaded connecting rod 17, and connecting block 19, and then the drone is started and... After takeoff and to the target area, during flight, the operator can clearly see the front of the surveying aircraft 3 through the observation screen 15 and make corresponding operations and adjustments as needed. At the same time, the surveying aircraft 3 will collect data such as terrain, landforms, and geological structure in real time and transmit it to the ground station for processing and analysis. After use, the drone is shut down and the surveying aircraft 3 and other components are disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. Check whether the connections between the components are firm and reliable. If there is any looseness or damage, it should be replaced or repaired in time. In addition, regular maintenance and upkeep of the drone can extend its service life and improve the mapping accuracy.
