Description

A monitoring device

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese Patent Publication No. 2024112124117, entitled "A Monitoring Device," filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on August 30, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of nest status monitoring technology, and in particular to a monitoring device. Background Technology

[0004] In existing technologies, the large-scale use of drones often requires the use of drone nests to achieve a high degree of automation. When a drone lands in a nest, the conditions of the landing pad and weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall must be assessed before a safe landing can occur. The landing process also requires simultaneous monitoring of the drone's descent.

[0005] Currently, there are two methods for determining whether the meteorological information of the drone nest, the information of the landing pad within the nest, and the take-off and landing information of the drone match the drone's landing status: manual judgment and judgment by centralized weather stations. Manual judgment reduces the automation level of the drone nest and the automation level of the drone itself. Existing centralized weather stations, due to their distance from the drone nest, require monitoring before issuing unified signals, resulting in a certain lag in the information from the drone nest and a relatively large error.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a monitoring device that can monitor the landing pad information and drone take-off and landing information in the drone nest in real time and accurately, as well as the current weather information of the nest, so as to ensure that the drone can land normally.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a monitoring device that can solve the problem of not being able to monitor the status information of the landing platform and UAV take-off and landing information, as well as the current weather status information of the UAV nest in a timely and accurate manner, without occupying a large amount of usable space inside the UAV nest.

[0009] To achieve this objective, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] Monitoring device, including:

[0011] The main structure, installed in the nest, includes a main shell;

[0012] A meteorological monitoring device is installed on the main housing, and the meteorological monitoring device is used to monitor the meteorological information of the nest;

[0013] A video monitoring device is installed inside the main housing. The video monitoring device is used to monitor the landing pad information and UAV take-off and landing information inside the nest.

[0014] Preferably, the meteorological monitoring element includes a first monitoring element for monitoring the temperature and humidity of the nest; the monitoring device further includes:

[0015] The first monitoring element is disposed within the assembly, and the assembly is installed to one side of the main housing.

[0016] Preferably, the assembly has several through holes to ensure that the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly are the same, and the monitoring structure in the first monitoring component is oriented towards the through holes.

[0017] Preferably, the assembly has an arc-shaped plate, the center of which is close to the main housing, and the through hole is an arc-shaped hole provided on the arc-shaped plate.

[0018] Preferably, the meteorological monitoring device further includes a second monitoring device for monitoring rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction of the nest; the main structure also includes:

[0019] Sheet metal parts are installed inside the main housing, and the video monitoring component is installed on the sheet metal parts and located on the opening window of the main housing;

[0020] A first mounting plate is disposed on the top of the main housing, and a second monitoring component is disposed on the first mounting plate.

[0021] Preferably, the sheet metal part is an integrally formed structure; the sheet metal part includes:

[0022] A sheet metal body is located inside the main housing, and the video monitoring component is installed on the sheet metal body;

[0023] A suspension body is erected at the top of the main housing, and the first mounting plate is connected to both the suspension body and the main housing.

[0024] Preferably, a reinforcing structure is provided inside the main housing, and the sheet metal body is confined within the reinforcing structure.

[0025] Preferably, the sheet metal body includes:

[0026] The first connecting plate, wherein the video monitoring component is detachably connected to the first connecting plate;

[0027] The second connecting plate is equipped with a main control board, which is communicatively connected to the meteorological monitoring device and the video monitoring device.

[0028] The third connecting plate is equipped with a supplementary light, which is located in the opening window.

[0029] Preferably, a transparent baffle is installed at the opening window, and the portion of the transparent baffle that is not directly facing the video monitoring device and the supplementary light is coated with a light-shielding layer.

[0030] Preferably, the main structure further includes:

[0031] The second mounting plate is detachably connected to the bottom of the main housing, and a waterproof component is provided between the second mounting plate and the main housing;

[0032] A waterproof flexible pad is disposed at the bottom end of the second mounting plate. Beneficial effects:

[0033] The monitoring device disclosed herein, by installing meteorological and video monitoring components within the drone nest, can not only monitor meteorological information such as rain and wind within the nest in a timely manner, but also monitor the landing pad information and drone take-off and landing information within the nest, thereby determining whether the nest is suitable for drone landing and whether the drone landing process is normal. Because the monitoring device is directly installed within the nest, the monitoring results are more timely and accurate, solving the problem of lag in monitoring results caused by using centralized meteorological stations located far from the nest. At the same time, by integrating the meteorological and video monitoring components onto the main shell, the main structure, meteorological monitoring components, and video monitoring components are integrated into a simple, integrated structure. The entire integrated structure occupies less space within the nest and is easier to manage.

[0034] In addition, the meteorological monitoring equipment includes a first monitoring device and a second monitoring device. The first monitoring device can monitor the temperature and humidity inside the nest, while the second monitoring device can monitor the rainfall, wind speed and wind direction inside the nest. This ensures that almost all meteorological information inside the nest can be monitored, and the meteorological results are relatively accurate.

[0035] In addition, several through holes are provided on the first monitoring component's assembly, which can make the temperature and humidity inside and outside the first monitoring component basically the same. This avoids the first monitoring component being in the closed assembly for a long time, which would cause the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly to be different, thus ensuring the accuracy of meteorological information measurement inside the nest.

[0036] In addition, supplementary lighting is installed on the main structure to provide illumination for the video monitoring components in low-visibility conditions, thereby ensuring the clarity of the monitoring. A transparent baffle is also installed between the supplementary lighting and the video monitoring components, ensuring both normal monitoring and light penetration from the supplementary lighting, while also protecting the supplementary lighting and the video monitoring components. Furthermore, the portion of the transparent baffle not directly facing the video monitoring components and supplementary lighting is coated with a light-shielding layer to prevent direct sunlight from shining on the video monitoring components and the joints between the supplementary lighting and sheet metal parts that require adhesive bonding, thus preventing the entire main structure from loosening and extending its service life.

[0037] Finally, a waterproof flexible pad is installed at the bottom of the second mounting plate, which can further ensure the waterproof effect of the entire monitoring device and extend the service life of the monitoring device. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, not the entire structure.

[0047] In the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0049] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0050] The technical solution of this disclosure will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1, this embodiment proposes a monitoring device, which mainly includes a main structure 20 and a monitoring module. The main structure 20 is installed inside the drone nest; the monitoring module is used to monitor meteorological information, landing pad information, and drone take-off and landing information within the drone nest. Specifically, the main structure 20 includes a main shell 21; the monitoring module includes a meteorological monitoring component 11 and a video monitoring component 12. The meteorological monitoring component 11 is disposed on the main shell 21 and is used to monitor meteorological information within the drone nest; the video monitoring component 12 is disposed inside the main shell 21 and is used to monitor landing pad information within the drone nest and drone take-off and landing information on the landing pad.

[0052] Compared to the centralized weather station used in existing technologies for collecting information about drone nests, this disclosure integrates a weather monitoring component 11 and a video monitoring component 12 onto the main structure 20. This not only eliminates the lag in information transmission from the drone nest and improves the accuracy of nest information monitoring, but also monitors the landing pad information and drone take-off and landing information within the nest while simultaneously monitoring the nest's weather information. This allows for accurate assessment of whether the landing pad is suitable for drone landing, whether the drone landing process is normal, and whether the drone's flight out of the landing pad is normal. Due to the extremely high accuracy of the monitoring results, manual monitoring can be eliminated by using this monitoring device, increasing the level of automation for unmanned aerial vehicles within the nest.

[0053] Moreover, by integrating the meteorological monitoring component 11 and the video monitoring component 12 onto the main housing 21, the main structure 20, the meteorological monitoring component 11, and the video monitoring component 12 are integrated into a simple integrated structure. The integrated structure occupies less space within the housing and is conducive to the management of the integrated structure.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1, the meteorological monitoring device 11 includes a first monitoring element 111, which is used to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the nest. In addition, the monitoring device also includes a mounting part 13, in which the first monitoring element 111 is disposed, so that the mounting part 13 provides protection for the first monitoring element 111, and the mounting part 13 is installed on one side of the main housing 21.

[0055] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the first monitoring element 111 is a temperature and humidity monitoring sensor, which can simultaneously monitor the temperature and humidity inside the nest, and the temperature and humidity monitoring sensor is a capacitive sensor. In other embodiments, the temperature and humidity monitoring sensor may also be a resistive sensor or a thermal sensor, as long as it can ensure simultaneous monitoring of the temperature and humidity inside the nest; no other limitations are made in this embodiment.

[0056] To ensure the accuracy of the temperature and humidity monitoring results inside the housing, as shown in Figure 1, several through holes 131 are provided on the assembly 13 to allow for good air circulation between the inside and outside of the assembly 13, ensuring that the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly 13 are basically the same. The monitoring structure in the first monitoring element 111 is positioned facing the through holes 131 to ensure accurate monitoring results of the interior of the assembly 13. If the assembly 13 does not have through holes 131, under prolonged sunlight exposure, the temperature inside the assembly 13 may be much higher than the external temperature; simultaneously, external air cannot easily enter the assembly 13, causing the humidity inside the assembly 13 to differ from the external humidity, leading to inaccurate monitoring results. In this embodiment, through holes 131 are provided on the assembly 13, and the monitoring structure in the first monitoring element 111 is positioned directly facing the through holes 131, thereby ensuring the accuracy of temperature and humidity monitoring. Specifically, the monitoring structure in the first monitoring element 111 refers to the sensing body of the temperature and humidity monitoring sensor.

[0057] Considering that rainwater might enter the assembly 13 after the through hole 131 is made on the assembly 13, thereby damaging the first monitoring element 111, as shown in Figure 1, the assembly 13 has an arc-shaped plate 132, with the center of the arc of the arc plate 132 close to the main housing 21, and the through hole 131 is an arc-shaped hole provided on the arc plate 132. By providing the arc plate 132 and the arc-shaped hole, when rainwater comes into contact with the assembly 13, the rainwater will slide down along the outer edge of the arc plate 132 and fall off, making it difficult for rainwater to enter the assembly 13, thus giving the assembly 13 a certain degree of waterproofing. Air and water vapor can easily enter the assembly 13 through the arc-shaped hole, so that the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly 13 are basically the same; this assembly 13, through a relatively simple structure, ensures that the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly 13 are consistent while also providing a certain degree of waterproofing.

[0058] Considering that in addition to temperature and humidity, meteorological factors such as rain and wind can also affect the normal take-off and landing of drones, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the meteorological monitoring component 11 also includes a second monitoring component 112. This second monitoring component 112 is used to monitor rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction within the drone's nest. To simplify the installation structure, the main structure 20 also includes a sheet metal component 23 and a first mounting plate 22. The sheet metal component 23 is installed inside the main housing 21, and the video monitoring component 12 is installed on the sheet metal component 23. The video monitoring component 12 is located at the opening window 211 on the main housing 21 to ensure that the video monitoring component 12 can monitor the conditions inside the drone's nest normally and clearly. The first mounting plate 22 is located at the top of the main housing 21, and the second monitoring component 112 is located on the first mounting plate 22.

[0059] By setting the second monitoring element 112 at the top of the main structure 20, the monitoring structure in the second monitoring element 112 can better contact the rainwater and atmosphere in the environment, thereby enabling more accurate monitoring of rainfall, wind speed and wind direction in the nest, ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of monitoring data.

[0060] It is worth noting that the second monitoring component 112 is detachably connected to the first mounting plate 22, and the first mounting plate 22 is also detachably connected to the main housing 21. This detachable connection can be achieved using screws, facilitating subsequent parts maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, screws are extremely low-cost, simple to manufacture, provide a good connection, and occupy little space. In addition, the entire main structure 20 is basically connected sequentially from top to bottom, resulting in a smaller size for the monitoring device and avoiding the formation of installation gaps and openings around the main structure 20, thus giving the entire main structure 20 good waterproofness.

[0061] As shown in Figure 1, the sheet metal part 23 is an integrally formed structure. The sheet metal part 23 includes a sheet metal body 231 and a suspension body 232 that are connected to each other. The sheet metal body 231 is located inside the main housing 21, and the video monitoring component 12 is installed on the sheet metal body 231. The suspension body 232 is erected on the top of the main housing 21, and the first mounting plate 22 is connected to the suspension body 232 and the main housing 21 respectively, so as to improve the connection stability between the sheet metal body 231, the first mounting plate 22 and the main housing 21.

[0062] Among them, the sheet metal part 23 is a one-piece molded structure, which is easier to process, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and making the connection strength of the sheet metal part 23 higher; moreover, by setting the suspension body 232, the sheet metal body 231 is suspended inside the main housing 21, and the video monitoring component 12 can be connected to the sheet metal body 231, which can save the internal space of the main housing 21, thereby further reducing the size of the monitoring device.

[0063] In addition, to ensure sufficient strength of the main housing 21, a reinforcing structure is provided inside the main housing 21, and the sheet metal body 231 is confined within the reinforcing structure. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the reinforcing structure specifically consists of two opposing reinforcing ribs, which not only increase the load-bearing capacity of the main housing 21 but also confine and fix the sheet metal body 231 between the two opposing reinforcing ribs, preventing the sheet metal body 231 from shaking inside the main housing 21. In this embodiment, reinforcing structures are respectively provided on two opposing sides inside the main housing 21.

[0064] As shown in Figure 1, the sheet metal body 231 also includes a first connecting plate 2311, a second connecting plate 2312, and a third connecting plate 2313. The video monitoring component 12 is detachably connected to the first connecting plate 2311. A main control board is mounted on the second connecting plate 2312, and the main control board is communicatively connected to both the meteorological monitoring component 11 and the video monitoring component 12. Furthermore, a supplementary light 30 is mounted on the third connecting plate 2313, located at the opening 211 of the main housing 21. The main control board processes the information transmitted between the meteorological monitoring component 11 and the video monitoring component 12, and sends the processed electrical signals to the UAV, enabling the UAV to determine whether it can land or take off normally within the nest based on the electrical signals sent by the main control board. The supplementary light 30 provides supplementary lighting for the video monitoring component 12 at night and in low-light conditions, ensuring that the video monitoring component 12 has sufficient light to monitor the actual conditions inside the nest.

[0065] The opening window 211 is formed on one side of the main housing 21 by means of aluminum block wire cutting and machining or aluminum alloy profile mold making. This avoids opening the opening window 211 on all four sides of the main housing 21, so that the main housing 21 has a better waterproof effect. In addition, the video monitoring component 12 is wrapped inside the main housing 21, which can prevent rainwater from damaging the video monitoring component 12 and increase the service life of the video monitoring component 12.

[0066] It is worth noting that, in order to further secure the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30, waterproof adhesive is applied to the connection points between the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30 and the main housing 21. This not only secures the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30 but also provides waterproofing, thereby extending the service life of the entire monitoring device.

[0067] To further protect the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30, a transparent baffle 24 is attached to the opening window 211 using the aforementioned waterproof adhesive. This prevents the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30 from being exposed at the opening window 211 and thus extending their service life. Furthermore, a light-shielding layer is applied to the portion of the transparent baffle 24 that is not directly facing the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30. This light-shielding layer prevents direct sunlight from hitting the waterproof adhesive, thus preventing the adhesive from peeling off. Additionally, the light-shielding layer conceals the waterproof adhesive, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the main housing 21.

[0068] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the light-shielding layer is specifically screen-printed black on the transparent baffle 24, which has good light-shielding and heat-absorbing effects. In other embodiments, light-shielding paint can also be sprayed on the area not directly facing the video monitoring component 12 and the supplementary light 30, as long as direct sunlight is avoided on the area coated with waterproof adhesive. No other limitations are made in this embodiment.

[0069] As shown in Figure 1, the main structure 20 also includes a second mounting plate 26, which is detachably connected to the bottom of the main housing 21, and a waterproof component is provided between the second mounting plate 26 and the main housing 21. Furthermore, the main structure 20 also includes a waterproof flexible pad 25, which is disposed at the bottom end of the second mounting plate 26.

[0070] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the aforementioned waterproof component is waterproof adhesive. The second mounting plate 26 is connected to the bottom of the main housing 21 by screws, and waterproof adhesive is applied to the gaps and grooves at its connection. On the one hand, the waterproof adhesive can further fix the second connecting plate 2312 to the main housing 21; on the other hand, the waterproof adhesive can prevent water from entering the main housing 21 from the bottom, causing damage to its internal parts. In addition, the waterproof flexible pad 25 is a flexible pad made of silicone material, which not only serves a waterproof function but also provides cushioning and shock absorption. In other embodiments, the waterproof flexible pad 25 can also be made of materials such as PVC, as long as it can meet the functions of waterproofing and shock absorption; no other limitations are made in this embodiment.

[0071] Furthermore, it is worth noting that, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, to ensure the monitoring device has good waterproof performance, both the second mounting plate 26 and the waterproof flexible pad 25 have electrical insertion holes. The data cable connected to the main control board extends through the main housing 21 to the bottom. An electrical insertion part 40 is located at the bottom of the monitoring device, and the data cable is electrically connected to the electrical insertion part 40. The electrical insertion part 40 passes through the second mounting plate 26 and the waterproof flexible pad 25 and connects to an external power source. This arrangement ensures that rainwater cannot enter the main housing 21 from the connection point between the data cable and the external power source, preventing damage to the main control board. Specifically, the electrical insertion part 40 can be a socket.

[0072] When using the monitoring device provided in this disclosure, firstly, connect the first monitoring component 111 to the assembly 13 with screws, and align the monitoring structure in the first monitoring component 111 with the through hole 131. Then, install the assembled assembly 13 and the first monitoring component 111 as a whole onto one side of the main housing 21. Next, connect the video monitoring component 12, the main control board, and the supplementary light 30 to the first connecting plate 2311, the second connecting plate 2312, and the third connecting plate 2313 respectively with screws. Finally, insert the assembled sheet metal body 231 into the main housing 21 and place the suspension body 232 on top. The first monitoring component 112 is attached to the top of the main housing 21. The second monitoring component 112 is then fixed to the first mounting plate 22, and the first mounting plate 22 is connected to the suspension body 232 of the sheet metal part 23 and the main housing 21 respectively using screws. Waterproof adhesive is then applied around the inner groove of the second mounting plate 26, and the second mounting plate 26 is installed to the bottom of the main housing 21 and the screws are tightened. Subsequently, the waterproof flexible pad 25 is glued to the bottom of the second mounting plate 26 using waterproof adhesive. Finally, the transparent baffle 24 is glued to the opening window 211, and the power plug 40 is plugged into the external power supply point. This monitoring device has no exposed screws except for the top screw. Furthermore, because the entire main housing 21 is an all-metal, snap-free design, it achieves a unified appearance, aesthetics, waterproofing, and reliability.

[0073] In summary, the monitoring device provided in this disclosure can ensure timely and accurate monitoring of the helipad information, UAV take-off and landing information, and current weather information within the nest, while also possessing excellent waterproof performance.

[0074] Obviously, the above embodiments of this disclosure are merely examples for clear illustration and are not intended to limit the implementation of this disclosure. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of this disclosure. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this disclosure. Industrial applicability

[0075] The monitoring device disclosed herein, by installing meteorological and video monitoring components within the drone nest, can not only monitor meteorological information such as rain and wind within the nest in a timely manner, but also monitor the landing pad information and drone take-off and landing information within the nest, thereby determining whether the nest is suitable for drone landing and whether the drone landing process is normal. Because the monitoring device is directly installed within the nest, the monitoring results are more timely and accurate, solving the problem of lag in monitoring results caused by using centralized meteorological stations located far from the nest. At the same time, by integrating the meteorological and video monitoring components onto the main shell, the main structure, meteorological monitoring components, and video monitoring components are integrated into a simple, integrated structure. The entire integrated structure occupies less space within the nest and is easier to manage.

[0076] In addition, the meteorological monitoring equipment includes a first monitoring device and a second monitoring device. The first monitoring device can monitor the temperature and humidity inside the nest, while the second monitoring device can monitor the rainfall, wind speed and wind direction inside the nest. This ensures that almost all meteorological information inside the nest can be monitored, and the meteorological results are relatively accurate.

[0077] In addition, several through holes are provided on the first monitoring component's assembly, which can make the temperature and humidity inside and outside the first monitoring component basically the same. This avoids the first monitoring component being in the closed assembly for a long time, which would cause the temperature and humidity inside and outside the assembly to be different, thus ensuring the accuracy of meteorological information measurement inside the nest.

[0078] In addition, supplementary lighting is installed on the main structure to provide illumination for the video monitoring components in low-visibility conditions, thereby ensuring the clarity of the monitoring. A transparent baffle is also installed between the supplementary lighting and the video monitoring components, ensuring both normal monitoring and light penetration from the supplementary lighting, while also protecting the supplementary lighting and the video monitoring components. Furthermore, the portion of the transparent baffle not directly facing the video monitoring components and supplementary lighting is coated with a light-shielding layer to prevent direct sunlight from shining on the video monitoring components and the joints between the supplementary lighting and sheet metal parts that require adhesive bonding, thus preventing the entire main structure from loosening and extending its service life.

[0079] Finally, a waterproof flexible pad is installed at the bottom of the second mounting plate, which can further ensure the waterproof effect of the entire monitoring device and extend the service life of the monitoring device.
