DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and corresponding drawings.

[0027] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0028] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] See also Figures 1-10The utility model provides an embodiment of a UAV fire ejection device, comprising a base frame 100 for being mounted on the bottom of the UAV, at least one loading assembly 200 being mounted on the base frame 100, the loading assembly 200 comprising a first side plate 201 and a second side plate 202, a positioning portion being provided between the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202, the positioning portion comprising a first blocking unit connected to the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202, for limiting the horizontal movement of the fire extinguishing bomb; a second blocking unit connected to the bottom of the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202, the second blocking unit being movable and having a movement position comprising a first position and a second position, when the second blocking unit is in the first position, the second blocking unit A accommodating space is formed between the blocking unit and the first blocking unit. When the second blocking unit is in the second position, the bottom of the accommodating space is unobstructed. At this time, the fire extinguishing bomb can be dropped from the bottom of the accommodating space to be released; it also includes a third blocking unit connected to the upper end of the first side panel 201. The third blocking unit is movable and the moving position includes a third position and a fourth position. When the third blocking unit is in the third position, the top of the accommodating space is blocked, thereby preventing the fire extinguishing bomb from falling off during the take-off and landing of the drone. On the other hand, when blocked, that is, when the third blocking unit is in the third position, the output end of the catapult 600 is in contact with the top of the fire extinguishing bomb. When the third blocking unit is in the fourth position, the top of the accommodating space is unobstructed, and the unobstructed top makes it easy to load the bomb.
[0030] With this solution, during the loading process, the third blocking unit is in the fourth position, so that the top of the accommodating space is unobstructed, and the second blocking unit is in the first position, forming a complete accommodating space together with the first blocking unit. After the loading is completed, the third blocking unit moves to the third position to block the top of the accommodating space, ensuring that the fire extinguishing bomb will not fall off due to vibration or airflow during the take-off, flight and landing of the drone, thereby ensuring flight safety. When the fire extinguishing bomb needs to be dropped, the second blocking unit moves from the first position to the second position, opening the bottom of the accommodating space, so that the bottom of the fire extinguishing bomb is unobstructed. At the same time, the output end of the catapult 600 is close to the top of the fire extinguishing bomb for ejection, realizing a precise and fast bomb dropping process and avoiding the situation of bullet jamming.
[0031] In one embodiment, the first blocking unit includes a first curved bar 203 and a second curved bar 204 installed between the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202, and the diameter between the first curved bar 203 and the second curved bar 204 is greater than the diameter of the fire extinguishing bomb.
[0032] In one embodiment, there is a gap between the first curved bar 203 and the second curved bar 204, and the second blocking unit includes a second rotating shaft 211 installed on the first side plate 201 and the second side plate 202, and a third curved bar 212 is connected between the two second rotating shafts 211. The first side plate 201 is provided with a driving part 210 for driving the second rotating shaft 211 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 211 is rotatably arranged in the gap. The first curved bar 203 and the second curved bar 204 are located above the axis of the second rotating shaft 211, so that when the third curved bar 212 is in the second position, the third curved bar 212 is attached to the bottom of the first curved bar 203 or the second curved bar 204 to avoid motion interference.
[0033] By adopting such a solution, the position and posture of the fire extinguishing bomb during delivery can be ensured by precisely controlling the movement of the third curved bar 212. When delivery is required, the driving unit 210 drives the second rotating shaft 211 to rotate ninety degrees. At this time, the third curved bar 212 is attached to the bottom of the first curved bar 203 or the second curved bar 204, and the bottom of the accommodating space is unobstructed. The fire extinguishing bomb falls rapidly under the action of the ejector 600, completing the delivery process.
[0034] In one embodiment, the third blocking unit includes a pin seat 205 installed at the upper end of the first side plate 201, and an ejection plate 206 is rotatably connected to the pin seat 205. A locking member for locking the ejection plate 206 is provided at the upper end of the second side plate 202, and the ejector 600 is installed on the ejection plate 206.
[0035] With this solution, when the third blocking unit is in the fourth position, the ejection plate 206 is unlocked, the top of the storage space is open, and the operator places the fire extinguisher bomb through the open top. After the fire extinguisher bomb is placed, the third blocking unit moves to the third position, and the ejection plate 206 is locked by the locking member, thereby sealing the top of the storage space. This ensures that the fire extinguisher bomb will not fall out due to vibration or airflow during the drone's takeoff, flight, and landing, and at the same time, it stores energy for the ejector 600. When the fire extinguisher bomb needs to be released, the second blocking unit rotates from the first position to the second position, opening the bottom channel of the storage space. At this time, the ejector 600 is quickly activated, accurately ejecting the fire extinguisher bomb, completing the bombing mission.
[0036] It should be noted that the first position of the second blocking unit mainly plays a blocking effect, and other structures that can achieve blocking can be applied in the present invention, such as a pull-out structure, etc. The third position of the third blocking unit also plays a blocking effect, and other structures can also be used instead. Preferably, a rotary structure is used. The slide mechanism can also achieve the same technical effect, so I will not go into details here.
[0037] In one embodiment, the ejector 600 includes a cylindrical tube 601 mounted on the ejection plate 206, the ejection plate 206 is provided with a groove, the cylindrical tube 601 is located at the groove on the ejection plate 206, a sliding cavity 603 is formed between the inner cavity of the cylindrical tube 601 and the groove, the cylindrical tube 601 is slidably connected to the ejection rod 602, the ejection rod 602 passes through the cylindrical tube 601, the ejection rod 602 is provided with a slide 604, the slide 604 is located in the sliding cavity 603, the ejection rod 602 is sleeved with a spring 605, the spring 605 is located above the slide 604, and the two ends of the spring 605 are respectively against the slide 604 and the top of the sliding cavity 603, and a baffle 606 is provided at the bottom of the sliding cavity 603.
[0038] With this solution, the ejector 600 is powered by the spring 605 in the cylindrical tube 601, and the slide 604 slides in the sliding cavity 603, pushing the fire extinguishing bomb out from the opening at the bottom. During the loading stage, the ejection plate 206 is opened and the slide 604 is at the bottom of the sliding cavity 603. As the ejection plate 206 closes, the lower end of the ejection rod 602 first contacts the fire extinguishing bomb and moves upward, and then the slide 604 slides upward in the sliding cavity 603 to squeeze the spring 605 to complete energy storage.
[0039] Optionally, the locking member includes a first rotating shaft 208 rotatably connected to the second side panel 202, a clamping block 209 is connected to the upper end of the first rotating shaft 208, a clamping slot 207 is provided on the ejection plate 206, and after the clamping block 209 passes through the clamping slot 207, the ejection plate 206 is locked by rotating the clamping block 209.
[0040] Optionally, four connecting rods 103 are provided at the bottom of the base frame 100, and the four connecting rods 103 are equidistantly distributed around the circumference. There are four loading assemblies 200, and the four loading assemblies 200 are connected to the base frame 100 via the four connecting rods 103.
[0041] Optionally, a mounting plate 102 is provided on the top of the base frame 100 , the base frame 100 is hollow, and a threading hole 101 is provided on the side surface of the upper end of the base frame 100 .
[0042] The present invention closes the ejection plate 206 after loading is completed, effectively preventing the fire extinguishing bomb from falling off due to vibration or airflow during the take-off, flight and landing of the drone. By installing the ejector 600 on the ejection plate 206, the second blocking unit opens the bottom of the accommodating space, thereby achieving the effect of rapid ejection of the fire extinguishing bomb, improving the accuracy of bomb delivery and avoiding the jamming of the bomb.
[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
