[0026] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a gun mounting frame for a drone, wherein the weapon mounting frame connector is used to be fixed on the side of the drone fuselage, and the control weapon frame of the gun mounting frame is fixedly connected to the landing gear reinforcement pipe of the drone, that is, the gun mounting frame is connected to two positions of the drone respectively to ensure reliable installation. The embodiment of the present invention also discloses a drone, which uses the above-mentioned gun mounting frame to ensure reliable installation of the gun barrel.

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a gun mounting frame for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising a gun barrel card 2, a gun barrel card cover 4 and a weapon rack connector 7; the gun barrel card 2 is fixed on a controlled weapon rack 3; the controlled weapon rack 3 is fixedly connected to a landing gear reinforcement tube 8 of the unmanned aerial vehicle; the gun barrel card cover 4 is used to cooperate with the gun barrel card 2 and clamp and fix the gun barrel 1; the gun barrel card cover 4 is fixedly connected to the gun barrel card 2 through a fixing piece; the weapon rack connector 7 is fixedly connected to the controlled weapon rack 3, and the weapon rack connector 7 is used to be fixed to the side of the fuselage of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

[0029] In the gun mounting bracket of the UAV provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the weapon rack connector 7 is used to be fixed on the side of the fuselage of the UAV, and the controlled weapon rack 3 of the gun mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 of the UAV, that is, the gun mounting bracket is connected to the UAV at two positions. Compared with the installation method of the gun barrel 1 in the prior art, it can ensure that the gun barrel 1 is reliably installed.

[0030] In addition, the gun barrel in the prior art is installed at the bottom of the UAV fuselage. Since the gun barrel will generate fire when firing, the gun barrel should be installed below the UAV away from the engine and the oil circuit, resulting in the gun barrel being away from the base of the UAV at the bottom, causing the mounting frame to be a certain distance away from the base. This situation makes the entire gun barrel mounting frame relatively heavy, affecting the flight performance of the UAV. The gun mounting frame provided in this embodiment is installed on the side of the fuselage, away from the engine and the oil circuit at the bottom of the UAV, has a simpler structure and is lighter in weight, which is conducive to improving the overall performance of the UAV.

[0031] In the above-mentioned artillery mounting frame, the lower end of the controlled weapon frame 3 is connected with a fixed connector 5, and the fixed connector 5 is fixedly connected to the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 through a connecting column 6. The two ends of the connecting column 6 are respectively plugged and matched with the fixed connector 5 and the landing gear reinforcement tube 8; the outer diameter of the connecting column 6 is equal to the inner diameter of the plug-in hole on the fixed connector 5 that matches the connecting column 6, and the inner diameter of the plug-in hole on the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 that matches the connecting column 6. The two ends of the connecting column 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the fixed connector 5 and the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 through fixing parts, and the fixing parts are screws, and the screws are tightened by aviation anti-loosening nuts.

[0032] The barrel clamp 2 and the barrel clamp cover 4 are fixed to each other to form a clamp assembly. Preferably, in the gun mounting frame provided by the above embodiment, the clamp assembly is two groups, so that the recoil force of the barrel 1 after firing will not change the initial position of the barrel 1, so as to greatly improve the firing accuracy. In the clamp assembly, the barrel clamp 2 is connected to the barrel clamp cover 4 by screws and aviation lock nuts that cooperate with each other. The connection between the barrel clamp 2 and the barrel clamp cover 4 can be freely adjusted to ensure that the outer part of the barrel 1 will not be damaged by excessive pressure from the clamp assembly. The screw mounting holes of the barrel clamp 2 and the barrel clamp cover 4 in the clamp assembly are respectively designed at the connecting ears of the end. This structure can ensure convenient installation and does not affect the assembly of the barrel 1. The barrel clamp 2 is fixedly connected to the controlled weapon rack 3 by screws; the upper end of the controlled weapon rack 3 is fixedly connected to the weapon rack connector 7 by screws, and the barrel clamp 2 and the weapon rack connector 7 are located on both sides of the controlled weapon rack 3; the lower end of the controlled weapon rack 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed connector 5 by screws.

[0033] The barrel card 2 is a block structure with a preset height. One end of the barrel card 2 along the height direction is fixedly connected to the controlled weapon rack 3 by screws. The other end of the barrel card 2 along the height direction is provided with an arc-shaped notch, which is used to fit the barrel 1. The barrel card cover 4 is arc-shaped and is used to fit the outer wall of the barrel 1. The barrel card 2 is provided with a threaded hole that cooperates with the screw connecting the barrel card 2 and the controlled weapon rack 3. The threaded hole is arranged at a position with a larger size in the height direction on the barrel card 2, so that the length of the screw is set to be longer to adapt to the larger recoil force when the barrel 1 is fired, and the screw is prevented from affecting the installation of the barrel 1.

[0034] The weapon rack connector 7 is fixedly connected to the controlled weapon rack 3 through a fixing piece, and the weapon rack connector 7 is used to be fixed to the side of the fuselage of the UAV through the fixing piece.

[0035] As provided in the above embodiment, the barrel card 2 is connected to the controlled weapon rack 3 through the threaded hole at the upper end, the controlled weapon rack 3 is fixed to the weapon rack connector 7 through the threaded hole at the upper end, the controlled weapon rack 3 is fixed to the fixed connector 5 through the threaded hole at the lower end, the fixed connector 5 is connected to the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 through the connecting column 6, and the weapon rack connector 7 is directly connected to the side of the body, so that it is directly connected to the drone by a rigid connection. The arc size of the barrel card 2 and the barrel card cover 4 is adapted to the barrel 1, ensuring that the barrel 1 is tightly fixed on the drone.

[0036] In the gun mounting frame provided by the above embodiment, each fixing part is a screw, and each screw is fastened by an aviation lock nut. The two parts connected by the screw are respectively provided with threaded holes adapted to the screws. Specifically, the upper end of the gun barrel clamp 2 has a threaded hole, and the controlled weapon rack 3 is provided with a threaded hole of the same size as the gun barrel clamp 2; the upper end of one side of the controlled weapon rack 3 is provided with three screw holes of the same size, and one end of the weapon rack connector 7 is also provided with threaded holes of the same size and number; the lower end of one end of the controlled weapon rack 3 is provided with two screw holes of the same size, and one end of the fixed connector 5 is also provided with threaded holes of the same size and number. The outer circle radius of the fixed connector 5 is exactly equal to the inner circle radius of the lower end of the controlled weapon rack 3, and can be directly inserted into the controlled weapon rack 3, and then fastened and connected by screws and aviation lock nuts; threaded holes of the same size are provided at both ends of the connecting column 6. The barrel card 2 and the barrel card cover 4 are fixedly connected by screws and aviation nuts; the barrel card 2 and the controlled weapon rack 3 are fixedly connected by screws; the controlled weapon rack 3 and the weapon rack connector 7 are fixed by screws and aviation anti-loosening nuts; the controlled weapon rack 3 and the fixed connector 5 are fixed by screws and aviation anti-loosening nuts; the fixed connector 5 and the connecting column 6 are fixed by screws and aviation anti-loosening nuts; the connecting column 6 and the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 are fixed by screws and aviation anti-loosening nuts; through the above-mentioned settings, the space and weight occupied by the artillery mounting frame are effectively reduced, and the overall performance of the UAV is further improved.

[0037] The weapon rack connector 7 and the landing gear reinforcement tube 8 have a certain position difference in space, and the position difference depends on the body width of the helicopter.
