Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a patrol UAV used for river management. Background Technology

[0002] In river management, patrol drones have become an important tool for modern water environment management due to their high efficiency, flexibility, and intelligence. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and onboard program control devices. UAVs are actually a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs used for river management are equipment used to manage rivers. Nowadays, when inspecting some rivers, water samples from different depths are often taken for testing and analysis.

[0003] Referring to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215904730U, with the publication date of February 25, 2022, a drone for river management is disclosed. The advantages of this utility model are: by fixing an active gear to the output end of the motor, and rotating the active gear with the water-dropping rod, the motor can drive the water-dropping rod to move to different depths in the river. By setting an electric telescopic rod on the inner wall of the suction tube, and fixing a rubber stopper to the output end of the electric telescopic rod, the electric telescopic rod can drive the rubber stopper to move and suck up water samples. This effectively enhances the convenience of water sample extraction in various areas and layers of the river and improves the efficiency of water sample extraction.

[0004] However, during use, it is inconvenient to disassemble the raft, and it is inconvenient to replace the raft when it is damaged. In addition, when adjusting the shooting angle of the camera, the drone can only be rotated, which is not conducive to use. Therefore, there is still room for further improvement.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a cruise drone for river management to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the cruise drone used for river management can disconnect the fastening bolt from the second connecting claw, allowing the raft to be inserted into the first connecting frame. Then, the first and second connecting claws hold the raft, making it easy to disassemble and replace when the raft is damaged. Activating the third electric telescopic rod will allow the connecting rod to slide in the moving groove, thereby allowing the connecting block to rotate in the vertical direction, thus adjusting the shooting angle of the camera and facilitating the cruise of the river surface.

[0017] 1. It is equipped with a drone body, a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame. The first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are located on the lower side of the drone body to facilitate the installation of the floating raft;

[0018] 2. Equipped with a first connecting claw, a second connecting claw, and a fastening bolt, when installing the raft under the UAV body, first disconnect the fastening bolt from the second connecting claw, then insert the raft into the first connecting frame, and then let the first and second connecting claws hold the raft in place. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the raft if it is damaged.

[0019] 3. It is equipped with a first electric telescopic rod, a straw, and a rubber stopper. Both the first and second electric telescopic rods are waterproof. Activating the second electric telescopic rod will draw water through the rubber stopper and store it in the straw for easy testing.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cruise drone for river management, comprising: drone body 1, first connecting frame 2, second connecting frame 3, first connecting claw 4, second connecting claw 5, fastening bolt 6, raft 7, first electric telescopic rod 8, suction tube 9, second electric telescopic rod 10, rubber plug 11, servo motor 12, connecting plate 13, third electric telescopic rod 14, connecting rod 15, moving groove 16, connecting block 17, and camera 18.

[0029] The existing utility model is inconvenient to disassemble the floating raft 7 during use, and it is inconvenient to replace the floating raft 7 when it is damaged. In addition, when adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 18, the drone can only be rotated to complete the operation, which is not conducive to use. Therefore, a cruise drone for river management is proposed. In addition, the upper side of the drone body 1 is provided with wings for flight, and the lower side of the drone body 1 is provided with a floating raft 7 for floating on the water surface.

[0030] It should be noted that the lower end of the moving groove 16 is closed, and the connecting rod 15 will not slide out from the lower side of the moving groove 16 during adjustment. In addition, the first electric telescopic rod 8, the second electric telescopic rod 10 and the third electric telescopic rod 14 are all waterproof, so there is no need to worry about the equipment malfunctioning when it comes into contact with water during sampling.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first connecting frame 2 and a second connecting frame 3 are provided on the lower side of the drone body 1. The first connecting frame 2 is slidably connected to the raft 7, which facilitates the installation of the raft 7. The lower side of the second connecting frame 3 is provided with a first connecting claw 4. One side of the first connecting claw 4 and one side of the second connecting claw 5 are rotatably connected by a hinge. The other side of the first connecting claw 4 and the other side of the second connecting claw 5 are fixedly connected by a fastening bolt 6. Therefore, when fixing the raft 7 under the drone body 1, first disconnect the fastening bolt 6 from the second connecting claw 5, then insert the raft 7 into the first connecting frame 2, then make the first connecting claw 4 and the second connecting claw 5 fit tightly to clamp the raft 7, and then rotate the fastening bolt 6 to fix the first connecting claw 4 and the second connecting claw 5. When the raft 7 is damaged, it is easy to disassemble and replace.

[0032] like Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, when the drone body 1 cruises to the river surface to collect water samples, a suction tube 9 is provided on the lower side of the first electric telescopic rod 8. When the first electric telescopic rod 8 is activated, the suction tube 9 will extend into the water. A second electric telescopic rod 10 is provided on the inner side of the suction tube 9, and a rubber stopper 11 is provided on the lower side of the second electric telescopic rod 10. Since the rubber stopper 11 is slidably connected to the suction tube 9, when the second electric telescopic rod 10 is activated, the rubber stopper 11 will move upward inside the suction tube 9, thereby collecting water samples.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when it is necessary to rotate the camera 18 to capture images of the river surface from different angles, the servo motor 12 is activated. The servo motor 12 causes the connecting plate 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the camera 18 to rotate horizontally, thus facilitating shooting. The third electric telescopic rod 14 is activated, which pushes the connecting rod 15 to rotate. Since the connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the third electric telescopic rod 14 and is slidably connected to the moving groove 16, the working third electric telescopic rod 14 causes the connecting rod 15 to slide within the moving groove 16. At this time, the connecting block 17 rotates vertically, thereby adjusting the shooting angle of the camera 18 to facilitate patrolling the river surface.
