Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone monitoring device technology, specifically a drone monitoring device based on computer vision. Background Technology

[0002] With the gradual maturation of computer vision technology, its application areas are becoming increasingly broad. One of the most typical applications is in drone monitoring. Computer vision enables drones to quickly detect or track targets when flying in unknown environments, and it is also significant for multi-drone cooperation. Existing public disclosure (announcement) number CN113636092B discloses a drone monitoring device based on computer vision, including a body. A control cabinet is located at the bottom of the body, and a glass cover is fixedly installed at the bottom of the control cabinet. A partition is movably arranged inside the glass cover, and cameras are fixedly installed on both sides of the partition.

[0003] While the aforementioned disclosed device has many advantages, it suffers from several drawbacks. Because the camera is placed inside a glass enclosure beneath the control cabinet, and the enclosure is fixed to the bottom of the cabinet, any damage to the enclosure necessitates the complete disassembly and replacement of all components. Since the glass enclosure is often the most vulnerable part, replacement costs are high. Furthermore, in the disclosed technology, both the camera angle adjustment and the cleaning pad movement are driven by adjusting motors and other components, meaning they are essentially linked. Therefore, it is impossible to independently drive the cleaning pad to clean the glass enclosure, thus failing to meet the need for cleaning the outside of the glass enclosure independently without adjusting the camera angle. Therefore, a computer vision-based drone monitoring device is needed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of a computer vision-based drone monitoring device according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-6 This paper provides a detailed introduction to a computer vision-based drone monitoring device.

[0032] A computer vision-based drone monitoring device includes a control cabinet 100, which is located at the bottom of the drone body. A glass cover 110 is screwed onto the bottom of the control cabinet 100. The glass cover 110 is hollow hemispherical. The drone body is not shown in the figure. Please refer to the contents described in the existing published patents. It will not be described again here.

[0033] The arc-shaped rod 200 is semi-circular and has a cleaning brush 210 on one concave side. The cleaning brush 210 is used to clean the outer surface of the glass cover 110. The control cabinet 100 has symmetrically opened mounting slots 220 inside. The top two ends of the arc-shaped rod 200 extend into the inner cavity of the mounting slot 220 and are provided with rotating shafts 230. One end of the two rotating shafts 230 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting slot 220 through bearing seats. One of the mounting slots 220 has a drive assembly in the inner cavity that drives the arc-shaped rod 200 to reciprocate along the surface of the glass cover 110.

[0034] The drive assembly includes a transverse electric telescopic rod 300 disposed inside the mounting slot 220, a transverse rack 310 disposed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 300, and a gear 320 engaged with the rack 310 disposed on the rod body of a rotating shaft 230.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the control cabinet 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 120, the inner side of the mounting cavity 120 is provided with an internal thread 130, the upper edge of the glass cover 110 is provided with a mounting ring 140, and the outer side of the mounting ring 140 is provided with an external thread 150 for screwing the internal thread 130. Since the glass cover 110 is made of glass, it is not convenient to set threads, so the mounting ring 140 is added to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the glass cover 110.

[0036] Furthermore, a camera and a storage chip are installed inside the mounting cavity 120. The output end of the camera is electrically connected to the input end of the storage chip. The camera and the storage chip are not shown in the figure, but can be referred to the contents described in the existing published patents, which will not be repeated here.

[0037] Furthermore, mounting plates 160 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the control cabinet 100. Mounting holes 170 are provided on the mounting plates 160. The control cabinet 100 can be easily installed on the bottom of the drone body by using bolts that fit the mounting holes 170.

[0038] Furthermore, the bottom of the control cabinet 100 is recessed to provide a storage slot 180 for storing the arc-shaped rod 200. The storage slot 180 is located outside the mounting cavity 120. When the arc-shaped rod 200 is not in use or when the glass cover 110 needs to be removed, the electric telescopic rod 300 pushes the rack 310 to its limit position, and then drives the rotating shaft 230 and the arc-shaped rod 200 to rotate through the gear 320, so that the arc-shaped rod 200 is put into the storage slot 180, thereby preventing it from obstructing the camera and facilitating the removal of the glass cover 110.

[0039] Furthermore, the inner cavity top wall of the mounting groove 220 is provided with a mounting bracket 330. The bottom two sides of the mounting bracket 330 protrude inward to form a limiting plate 340. The front and rear side walls of the rack 310 are provided with limiting grooves 350 for the limiting plate 340 to slide into. The mounting bracket 330 limits the rack 310 so that it can only move laterally left and right.

[0040] Furthermore, a row of rotating rods 360 is rotatably provided at the contact point between the mounting bracket 330 and the top of the rack 310 to reduce the friction between the rack 310 and the mounting bracket 330 when the rack 310 moves.

[0041] In practical use, when the glass cover 110 is damaged, the arc rod 200 can be put into the storage slot 180, and the glass cover 110 can be directly rotated to separate it from the control cabinet 100, saving replacement costs. In addition, the arc rod 200 can be driven to move back and forth along the surface of the glass cover 110 by the drive component, so as to clean the glass cover 110 by the cleaning brush 210, which meets the need to clean the outside of the glass cover 110 separately without adjusting the camera angle.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
