Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of surveying and mapping, specifically a novel rangefinder. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional ranging technologies are mainly divided into two categories: contact and non-contact. The former relies on direct contact measurement using rulers, calipers, etc., which is inefficient and cannot handle long-distance scenarios. The latter mainly uses ultrasonic, infrared, and laser technologies, but suffers from drawbacks such as accuracy being easily affected by environmental interference (e.g., ultrasonic is susceptible to obstruction, infrared is easily affected by strong light) or high cost. With the surge in demand for high-precision, long-distance, and interference-resistant ranging in fields such as industrial manufacturing, autonomous driving, and drone inspection, traditional technologies are unable to meet these demands, driving the development of new rangefinders that can achieve faster response, higher accuracy, and more stable performance in complex environments.
[0003] Currently, a common new type of rangefinder has the following problems: 1. When drones use camera sensors for ranging, they consume a lot of energy because they cannot carry large-capacity batteries to keep the drones flying. This makes it impossible for them to fly for long periods of time, and battery swapping technology is also a problem.
[0004] 2. When drones work outdoors, the environment is often harsh, with a lot of wind, sand and dust. When the camera module gets dusty, it will cause the measurement to lose accuracy, and it will be easily damaged over time.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of rangefinder that allows for easy battery replacement during surveying and can automatically clean the camera module. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel rangefinder to solve the problems in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel rangefinder, comprising: a fuselage module, a lens cleaning module, and a flight module. The lens cleaning module is fixedly connected to the right side of the fuselage module. The fuselage module and the flight module are fixedly connected. The fuselage module includes a fuselage shell. A battery compartment cover is slidably connected to the bottom left side of the fuselage shell. A push switch is provided above the battery compartment cover. A locking block is spring-connected to the bottom of the push switch. A signal receiver is fixedly connected to the top of the fuselage shell. The lens cleaning module includes a lens protective shell, a lens module is provided at the bottom of the lens protective shell, a brush is slidably connected to the lower inside of the lens protective shell, and a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the brush.

[0009] Preferably, the motor bay is provided with a cavity for the motors, and four sets of motors drive the system, resulting in stable flight and strong power.
[0010] Preferably, the two sets of connecting frames are in a horizontal T-shape, and the two sets of connecting frames are provided with channels for matching circuits. The T-shaped design makes the size smaller and the weight lighter, the internal wiring is less likely to be damaged, and the operation is more stable.

[0015] 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.
[0016] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment proposes a novel rangefinder, comprising a fuselage module 1, a lens cleaning module 2, and a flight module 3. The lens cleaning module 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fuselage module 1. The fuselage module 1 and the flight module 3 are also fixedly connected. The fuselage module 1 includes a fuselage shell 11. A battery compartment cover 12 is slidably connected to the bottom left side of the fuselage shell 11. A push-button switch 13 is located above the battery compartment cover 12. A spring-loaded latch 14 is connected to the bottom of the push-button switch 13. A signal receiver 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the fuselage shell 11. Lens cleaning... Module 2 includes a lens protective shell 21, with a lens module 22 at the bottom of the lens protective shell 21. A brush 23 is slidably connected to the lower part of the lens protective shell 21, and a telescopic rod 24 is fixedly connected to the left side of the brush 23. Flight module 3 includes two sets of connecting frames 31, with four sets of motor compartments 32 connected to the two sets of connecting frames 31 respectively. The top of the four sets of motor compartments 32 is connected to four sets of connecting shafts 33. The upper end of the connecting shafts 33 is connected to four sets of propellers 34 through a fixing block 35. The bottom of the four sets of motor compartments 32 is fixedly connected to two sets of support frames 36. In the above implementation example, the bottom left side of the body module 1 has a sliding groove that mates with the battery compartment cover 12, the left side of the body shell 11 has a cavity that mates with the push switch 13, the bottom of the push switch 13 has a groove that mates with the locking block 14, and the top left side of the battery compartment cover 12 has a groove that mates with the bottom of the locking block 14.
