The present embodiment relates to a water sampling apparatus using a drone and, more specifically, to a water sampling apparatus using a drone having a water sample storage space provided in a lower frame of a fuselage to store water, and having an automatic opening/closing device installed in the bottom of the water sample storage space. A water sample storage space is provided in a lower frame of a fuselage to store water, and an automatic opening/closing device is installed in the bottom of the water sample storage space. In accordance with an operational principle of the opening/closing device (valve), as the opening/closing valve is raised by water pressure from the weight (pressure) of a drone after the landing of the drone on the surface of water, the water sample space becomes filled with water, and, then, when the water pressure becomes lower, the opening/closing valve is led to sink by the dead load thereof to be closed. The closed valve can be substantially closed due to load pressure exerted by the weight of the water in the water sample space as the drone takes off. 본 실시 예는 드론을 이용한 채수장치에 관한 것으로써, 더욱 구체적으로는 기체의 하부프레임에 물을 저장할 수 있는 채수 저장공간이 있으며. 채수 저장공간 바닥에는 자동 개폐 장치가 설치되어 있는 것을 특징으로 하는 드론을 이용한 채수장치에 관한 것이다. 기체의 하부프레임에 물을 저장할 수 있는 채수 저장공간이 있으며. 채수 저장공간 바닥에는 자동 개폐 장치가 설치되도록 하며, 상기 개폐장치(밸브)의 작동 원리는 드론이 수면에 착륙후 드론의무게(압력)에 의해 개폐 밸브가 수압에 의해 들려 올라 채수공간에 물이차오르고 수압이 낮아지면 개폐밸브는 자중에의해 가라앉아 닫히도록 하며, 상기 닫혀진 밸브는 드론이 이륙하게 되면서 채수공간 내부 물의 무게에 의해 하중압력이 가해지면서 견고하게 닫히게 되는 것을 특징으로 하는 드론을 이용한 채수장치이다.
