Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a supporting mechanism for unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles, are aircraft that do not require human pilots. They can be operated by remote control or autonomous flight and are usually equipped with cameras, sensors and other equipment.

[0003] When the drone is in use, a bracket is installed at the bottom of the drone using bolts so that the bottom of the drone is at a certain distance from the ground, thereby preventing the equipment installed at the bottom of the drone from contacting the ground when the drone takes off or lands.

[0004] Existing drone brackets are usually made of iron frames and installed with bolts. In some mountainous areas or remote uneven ground, when using drones for take-off operations, even if the drone takes off on a road with a certain slope, the bracket at the bottom of the drone contacts the ground, which will cause the drone to be in a tilted take-off state. When the drone takes off on a tilted ground, it may face the following major defects:

[0005] Stability issues: The tilted ground will cause the center of gravity of the drone to shift, making it difficult for the drone to maintain balance during takeoff. This imbalance may cause the drone to roll over or deviate from the intended takeoff direction during takeoff.

[0006] Increased control difficulty: On sloping ground, the drone's controller needs to make more complex adjustments to adapt to the unevenness of the ground, which increases the complexity of the control algorithm and may cause inaccurate attitude control of the drone during takeoff;

[0007] Safety risks: Due to the instability of the sloping ground, the drone may be subjected to uneven support force during takeoff, which may cause additional stress on the landing gear or other components of the drone, increasing the risk of damage. Summary of the invention

The fixing rod 334 is fixedly connected The limit spring 335 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the fixing rod 334 inside the mounting shell 31, and one end of the limit spring 335 is pressed and fitted with the locking member 331, that is, the opposite sides of the ends of the two locking members 331 are pressed and fitted with the limit spring 335, so that in the absence of external force, the two locking members 331 can be in a horizontal state, so that the bracket assembly 2 is in a vertical state to support the drone body 1, one end of the inclined plate portion 3313 is fixedly connected to the arc portion 3311, and the straight plate portion 3314 is fixedly connected to the other end of the inclined plate portion 3313, and the inclined plate portion 3313 is used to make the two locking members 331 clamped on the outside of the mounting shaft 32 , so that the two locking members 331 have a fitting part, that is, the straight plate parts 3314 of the two locking members 331 are fitted together, the connecting hole 3315 is opened at the top of the straight plate part 3314, the outer wall of the fixing rod 334 is slidably sleeved with the connecting hole 3315, the inclined chamfered part 3316 is connected to one end of the straight plate part 3314, and the width of the connecting hole 3315 corresponds to the fixing rod 334, and the connecting hole 3315 has a certain length, so that the locking member 331 rotates with the installation shaft 32, and the locking member 331 can slide relative to the fixing rod 334 through the connecting hole 3315, and the inclined chamfered part 3316 facilitates the locking member 331 to dock with the handle assembly 34.

[0076] In particular, the handle assembly 34 includes a connecting shaft 341, a clamping member 342, a handle 344 and a restraining block 343. A through hole matching the connecting shaft 341 is opened on the side of the mounting shell 31. The connecting shaft 341 forms a linkage with the positioning assembly 35. The clamping member 342 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 341. The clamping member 342 corresponds to the locking member 331. The clamping member 342 is symmetrically provided with a clamping plate portion 3421. The clamping member 342 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the handle 344 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 341, the restraining block 343 is fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting shell 31, the distance between adjacent clamping plate portions 3421 is greater than the distance between the opposite sides of adjacent inclined chamfered portions 3316, the width of the clamping plate portions 3421 is less than the width of the locking member 331, the distance between the opposite sides of adjacent clamping plate portions 3421 is less than the distance between adjacent restraining blocks 343, and the chamber inside the mounting shell 31 is sufficient to support the rotation of the clamping member 342, so that when the two clamping plate portions 3421 on the clamping member 342 are in a vertically parallel state, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the clamping plate 3421 is inserted between the two locking members 331, so that the two locking members 331 can move away from each other and separate from the installation shaft 32, and the installation shaft 32 can be disassembled. When the clamping member 342 is separated from the locking member 331, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, when the locking member 331 locks the mounting shaft 32, the locking member 331 can also rotate with the mounting shaft 32, so that when the two clamping plate portions 3421 on the clamping member 342 are in a horizontal parallel state, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the two clamping plate portions 3421 can be clamped on the inclined chamfered portions 3316 at the ends of the two locking members 331, thereby locking the two locking members 331, so that the mounting shaft 32 and the mounting shell 31 are in a relatively fixed state, and the two restraining blocks 343 can limit the clamping members 342, which can improve the stability of the clamping of the clamping members 342 to the locking members 331, and the restraining blocks 343 will not affect the locking members 331 from rotating along the mounting shaft 32.

The arc groove 354 is opened on the connecting shaft 341. The outer wall of the positioning block 353 is slidably engaged with the inner cavity of the arc groove 354. When the positioning block 353 is engaged with the arc groove 354, the stability of the position of the connecting shaft 341 driving the clamping member 342 can be improved, that is, the clamping member 342 and the locking member 331 are locked in the engaged and separated state. The positioning assembly 35 also includes a connecting plate 355 and a connecting rod 356. The connecting plate 355 is arranged inside the mounting shell 31, and the outer wall of the fixing rod 334 is slidably inserted and sleeved with the connecting plate 355, limiting The other end of the positioning spring 335 is squeezed and fitted with the connecting plate 355, and one end of the connecting rod 356 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 355, and the opposite side of the first positioning plate 351 and the second positioning plate 352 are respectively fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 356.

The arc hole 245 is opened on one side of the limit plate 244, and the arc hole 245 The arc center is located on the axis line of the mounting shaft 32, so that when the clamping piece 342 is separated from the locking piece 331, the supporting shell 22 can slide relative to the supporting plate 21, so that the limiting column 241 slides in the arc hole 245, and when the limiting column 241 is located at one end of the inner cavity of the arc hole 245, the inclination angle between the vertical center line of the bracket assembly 2 and the drone body 1 is less than thirty degrees, so as to avoid the inclination angle between them being too large, the inner cavity of the arc hole 245 matches the limiting column 241, and the limiting hole 246 is provided on one side of the limiting plate 244, and the inner cavity of the limiting hole 246 is connected with the inner cavity of the arc hole 245. One end of the outer side of the limiting column 241 is slidably engaged with the limiting hole 246. When the limiting column 241 is engaged in the limiting hole 246, the bracket assembly 2 can be limited so that the bracket assembly 2 is in a vertical state with respect to the vertical center line of the drone body 1.

[0079] Furthermore, the bracket assembly 2 also includes a guide rod 26, a buffer spring 25 and a slide hole 243.

By removing the limiting column 241, the support plate 21 and the support shell 22 can be disassembled. The bottom of the support plate 21 is symmetrically provided with a guide groove 27 matching the guide rod 26. The buffer spring 25 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 26. The buffer spring One end of 25 is squeezed and fitted with the support plate 21. When the drone body 1 lands, the buffer spring 25 can give the drone body 1 an elastic buffering force, and when the drone body 1 is located on the ground through the bracket assembly 2, the weight of the drone body 1 can compress the buffer spring 25, so that the limit column 241 is located in the arc hole 245. When the drone body 1 takes off, under the action of the buffer spring 25, the support shell 22 slides relative to the support plate 21, so that the limit column 241 can slide and be engaged in the limit hole 246, thereby preventing the bracket assembly 2 from shaking relative to the drone body 1 when the drone body 1 is flying.
