Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle ejection, in particular to a pulley bracket integrated device for unmanned aerial vehicle ejection. Background Art
[0002] At present, domestic drone launch devices use rubber band catapults, steam hydraulic catapults and electromagnetic catapults. Small drones mostly use rubber band catapults, while medium-sized drones mostly use steam and electromagnetic catapults. Different pulley bracket devices are derived for the ejection of drones of different weights. This device can carry the drone and accelerate it in the track. At the same time, the drone can be quickly released after reaching the required take-off speed at the end of the track. Since drones of different weights are subject to different acceleration loads, the device is required to withstand greater impact forces.
[0003] The pulley bracket device used in the prior art includes a catapult pulley and a catapult bracket. The catapult bracket is fixed on the catapult pulley and is used to carry a drone. The catapult pulley is provided with a row of roller shafts on the left and right sides of the pulley frame, respectively. One end of the roller shaft is fixedly connected to the catapult pulley frame, and the other end is sleeved with the roller; the catapult bracket includes a left side plate of the bracket, a right side plate of the bracket, a bottom plate of the bracket, and a slide bracket. The left end of the bottom plate of the bracket is fixedly connected to the lower end of the left side plate of the bracket, and the right end of the bottom plate of the bracket is fixedly connected to the right side plate of the bracket. The lower end of the bracket is fixedly connected, the upper end of the left side plate of the bracket and the upper end of the right side plate of the bracket are fixedly connected with a slide bracket, and the slide bracket is provided with a slide groove opening forward. When in use, first insert the pin shaft on the lower bracket of the drone into the slide groove to fix the drone on the pulley bracket device, start the drone and drive the ejection pulley along the track through ejection devices such as rubber bands, steam hydraulics, and electromagnetic force. After reaching the take-off speed of the drone, brake, and the ejection pulley brakes at the moment, and the drone is separated from the pulley bracket device.
[0004] The shortcomings of the existing structure are as follows: first, the track for the take-off of the UAV has a certain inclination angle with the horizontal plane. The existing technology arranges a row of roller shafts on both sides of the pulley frame and is fixedly connected to the pulley frame. The rollers roll around the shafts. Due to processing and installation, the rollers are not absolutely parallel to the track. When the pulley moves along the track, a row of rollers cannot be guaranteed to contact the track at the same time, and uneven force is easily applied to the rollers, which affects the service life of the rollers; second, because the pulley bracket is relatively heavy, the pulley rollers are subjected to a large load at the moment of acceleration and during the gliding process, and the rollers are unevenly stressed, which is easy to wear or damage, so that the frequency of roller replacement increases, affecting the use of the pulley bracket integrated device and increasing the maintenance cost of the device; third, the pulley bracket used in the existing technology is relatively heavy, and it takes a lot of energy to accelerate the UAV to the take-off speed when the UAV is moving on the track, which affects the energy utilization rate of the launch system.

One side of the guide wheel is exposed outside the pulley table for contacting with the edge of the track. In this embodiment, the track is an I-shaped track. The guide wheel 401 is rotatably sleeved on the lower end of the guide wheel shaft 402 and is clamped and limited by the third shaft retaining ring 404. The upper end of the guide wheel shaft 402 passes through the long hole. There is a shoulder 403, the upper end surface of the shoulder contacts the lower end surface of the pulley table, and the shoulder is set to ensure that the guide wheel does not move up and down. An opening is provided on one side of the guide wheel shaft. The limit plate is provided at the upper end of the long hole of the pulley table and is provided with a limit groove that matches the opening on the guide wheel shaft. The limit plate 405 is fixedly connected to the pulley table 101, and the upper end of the guide wheel shaft 402 is threadedly connected with the limit nut 406.

In this embodiment, the front left slot bracket, the front right slot bracket and the left side plate of the bracket are fixedly connected by bolts, and the rear left slot bracket, the rear right slot bracket and the right side plate of the bracket are fixedly connected by bolts, and the slot bracket and the left side plate of the bracket and the right side plate of the bracket can also be fixed by welding or the like.
[0041] like Figure 2 , Fig.11 , Fig.13 As shown, the front left slide bracket 2051, the front right slide bracket 2052, the rear left slide bracket 2053, and the rear right slide bracket 2054 are respectively provided with shear pin holes 207, and the shear pin 603 passes through the shear pin holes on the lower bracket of the aircraft and the slide bracket. By using the shear pin to fix the slide bracket to the lower bracket of the aircraft, it can be ensured that the UAV will not shake or accidentally fall off the slide bracket during acceleration, until the braking moment, the shear pin breaks, and the UAV separates from the slide bracket and takes off.
[0042] The ejection trolley and ejection bracket are made of aluminum alloy to meet the lightweight design and improve the energy utilization rate of the launch system.
[0043] like Fig.12 As shown ( Fig.12The position of the shear pin is not marked in the figure). In this embodiment, the lower end of the drone 7 is fixedly connected to a drone lower bracket 6 that matches the slide bracket. The drone lower bracket includes a front left first vertical plate, a front left second vertical plate, a front right first vertical plate, a front right second vertical plate, a rear left first vertical plate, a rear left second vertical plate, a rear right first vertical plate, and a rear right second vertical plate. The front left first vertical plate and the front left second vertical plate penetrate the pin shaft 601 and are fixed by the cotter pin 602.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a brake plate 5 is further provided below the ejection pulley, and the brake plate 5 is fixedly connected to the ejection pulley, and in this embodiment, the connection is made by welding. When the ejection pulley drives the UAV to slide on the track 8, the brake is applied by the brake plate. At the moment of braking, the lower bracket of the UAV smoothly escapes from the chute of the chute support plate, and the UAV takes off reliably and smoothly. There are many ways to brake the ejection pulley. In this embodiment, the brake plate is used for braking, and blocking braking and other methods can also be used.
[0045] When installing the present invention, firstly, the ejection bracket is fixed on the ejection pulley by fixing bolts, and then the left and right spacing of the ejection pulley on the inner side of the track is adjusted. After the position is determined, the position of the guide wheel is adjusted so that the guide wheel contacts the edge of the track, and the end face of the limit plate limit groove is brought into contact with the opening of the guide wheel shaft to limit the rotation of the guide wheel shaft, and the limit nut is tightened. If the position of the limit plate limit groove and the opening of the guide wheel shaft cannot be reliably matched, the contact surface between the limit groove and the guide wheel shaft can be milled flat. During gliding, the guide action of the guide wheel makes the pulley always stay in the middle of the track during operation, ensuring that the ejection pulley accelerates smoothly and linearly. After the position of the ejection pulley is adjusted, the pin shaft of the lower bracket of the drone is inserted into the slide groove through the notch of the slide groove, and the shear pin is inserted through the shear pin hole on the lower bracket of the drone and the shear pin hole on the slide groove support plate to prevent the drone from shaking or accidentally disengaging the slide groove support plate during acceleration.
[0046] When the present invention is used, the engine of the drone is started, the engine generates thrust, the drone tends to move forward, and the ejection device such as rubber band, steam hydraulic pressure, electromagnetic force, etc. drives the traction rope on the traction shaft to pull the ejection pulley to accelerate along the track. At the end of the ejection track, the drone obtains a certain take-off speed, the brake plate brakes, and the shear pin breaks at the moment of braking. The lower bracket of the drone is separated from the slide plate and takes off successfully. After the drone takes off, the ejection pulley and the ejection bracket are recovered by pulling the traction rope at the rear end of the ejection pulley.
