Title:
OCEAN MONITORING DRONE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/103209
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an ocean monitoring drone. The ocean monitoring drone according to the present invention can monitor the occurrence of various kinds of coastal accidents/disasters such as oil-spills/appearance of red tides/appearance of cold pools/appearance of low sodium/ship accidents and conveniently and smoothly diagnose defects of ships/sea structures even by an unmanned aerial small drone, and to this end, provides a motor tilting-based horizontal thrust generation structure so as to extend an activity region for checking various kinds of sea environments and promote the improvement of sea environment flight adaptability since horizontal movement at sea level after landing on the sea is possible, and presents actuator forms of various structures for vertical movement control of a water sampler and a CTD recorder so as to enable seawater collection/seawater state information measurement to be smoothly and easily performed while stably maintaining the flight operation (flight, take-off/landing, posture control) of the drone. The ocean monitoring drone according to the present invention comprises: a body frame (10) for performing unmanned aerial flight over the sea, take-off/landing, and horizontal movement after landing on the sea; a plurality of driving motors (20), which are arranged to be spaced apart from each other at set intervals along the circumferential part of an edge of the body frame (10) and perform tilting operations within a set angle range; a plurality of rotors (30) connected to the respective driving motors (20) and rotating; a battery (40), which is fixed to the body frame (10) so as to be connected to the plurality of driving motors (20), and supplies power to each driving motor (20); a floating body (50) provided on a lower side of the body frame (10) such that the body frame (10) is positioned on the water without sinking into the water; a sea environment detection module (60) provided to the body frame (10) so as to detect sea environment state information; and a controller (70) for controlling aerial flight, take-off/landing, and horizontal movement of the body frame (10) after landing on the sea through rotational operation control and tilting operation control of the driving motors (20).
