[0054] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0055] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the UAV booster launch device in this embodiment includes a launch bracket 110, a booster mounting device 120, and a booster lifting device 130. The following is a detailed description of each of the above components in conjunction with the figures.
[0056] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the launch bracket 110 is used for the installation and support of the drone. The launch bracket 110 adopts a frame structure, and an installation platform for mounting the drone is provided on the launch bracket. In this embodiment, the installation platform includes a front platform 112 for supporting the front end of the drone and a rear platform 113 for supporting the rear end of the drone. The front platform 112 includes a symmetrically arranged left front platform and a right front platform. Similarly, the rear platform 113 includes a symmetrically arranged left rear platform and a right rear platform. A front limiting mechanism 114 is provided on the left and right front platforms, and a rear limiting mechanism 115 is provided on the left and right rear platforms. The drone is positioned and installed on the launch bracket by the four limiting mechanisms.
[0057] like Figure 10 As shown, the front-end limiting mechanism 114 in this embodiment includes a front-end mounting plate 114a and a first limiting member 114b disposed on the front-end mounting plate. The front-end mounting plate 114a is used for the fixed installation between the front-end limiting mechanism and the front-end platform. The first limiting member 114b is provided with a pressure groove 114c at its front end position, which can cooperate with the front-end slider of the UAV. The front-end slider 210 of the UAV can slide into the pressure groove 114c. The pressure groove limits the front-end slider of the UAV in the X / Y / Z directions, thereby realizing the limiting installation of the front end of the UAV on the launch bracket.
[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first limiting guide rail 114d is provided on the front mounting plate 114a on one side of the front end of the first limiting member, and the first limiting guide rail 114d is arranged along the X direction. The first limiting guide rail limits the front end slider 210 of the UAV during installation, and can also limit the movement direction of the UAV during launch, so as to improve the launch quality of the UAV.
[0059] like Figure 11As shown, the rear-end limiting mechanism 115 in this embodiment includes a rear-end mounting plate 115a and a second limiting member 115b disposed on the rear-end mounting plate. The rear-end mounting plate 115a is used for fixed installation between the rear-end limiting mechanism and the rear-end platform. A limiting groove 115c that cooperates with the rear-end slider of the UAV is provided at the front end of the second limiting member 115b. The limiting groove 115c is disposed along the X direction and is used to limit the position of the rear-end slider 220 of the UAV, thereby realizing the limiting installation of the rear end of the UAV on the launch bracket.
[0060] Preferably, in this embodiment, a second limiting guide rail 115d is provided on the rear mounting plate 115a on one side of the front end of the second limiting member 115b, and the second limiting guide rail 115d is arranged along the X direction. Similarly, the second limiting guide rail can limit the movement of the UAV rear slider 220 during installation, and can also limit the movement direction of the UAV during launch, so as to improve the launch quality of the UAV.
[0061] like Figure 11 As shown, a locking mechanism is installed on the rear limiting mechanism. This locking mechanism is used to lock the UAV onto the launch bracket. When the UAV is subjected to a certain force, the locking mechanism can release the lock. The working principle of the locking mechanism is as follows: To ensure the stability of the UAV's flight attitude, the UAV's engine is started first during launch. At this time, the thrust of the UAV's engine cannot overcome the locking force of the locking mechanism, and the UAV is reliably connected to the launch bracket. When the booster is started, under the combined action of the thrust generated by the booster and the UAV's engine, the locking mechanism releases the lock on the UAV, and the UAV slides off the launch bracket, thus achieving a stable launch of the UAV.
[0062] like Figure 12 The locking mechanism in this embodiment includes a shear pin 116 disposed on the second limiting member. The shear pin 116 passes sequentially through the second limiting member 115b and the drone rear end slider 220 to lock the rear end of the drone. Under the combined force of the thrust generated by the drone engine and booster, the shear pin is cut, thereby releasing the lock on the drone.
[0063] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear limiting mechanism 115 is adjustablely connected to the rear platform, and the rear limiting mechanism can be adjusted along the X / Y direction on the rear platform. Specifically, a strip-shaped mounting hole along the X or Y direction can be provided on the rear mounting plate, and the rear mounting plate can be installed on the rear platform through the strip-shaped mounting hole.
[0064] To effectively fix and limit the rear-end limiting mechanism, an auxiliary connector 117 is provided between the rear-end platform and the rear-end limiting mechanism. The auxiliary connector 117 provides a tensioning force along the X-direction to the rear-end limiting mechanism. Figure 11 The auxiliary connector 117 here can be a threaded rod that is connected to the rear platform and the second limiting member respectively, so as to adjust and fix the position of the rear limiting mechanism.
[0065] A booster mounting device 120 is mounted on the launch support 110 to fix the booster and to adjust the position of the booster relative to the launch support along the X, Y, and Z directions, as well as the booster's pitch angle. To achieve these functions, a slide rail 111 is provided on the launch support 110 along its X direction. The booster mounting device 120 is connected to the slide rail 111, allowing the booster mounting device to move along the slide rail in the X direction. Preferably, the booster mounting device 120 is provided with rollers 122, and the booster mounting device 120 rolls against the slide rail.
[0066] Meanwhile, the booster mounting device in this embodiment adopts the following structure:
[0067] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the booster mounting device 120 includes a movable base 121 and one or more mounting adjustment mechanisms disposed on the movable base. Rollers 122 are disposed on the movable base 121, allowing the movable base to move on a slide rail. Here, the mounting adjustment mechanisms are used to achieve fixed mounting of the booster, while simultaneously adjusting the booster in the Y and Z directions, and adjusting the booster's pitch angle, such as... Figures 4 to 6 As shown in the figure, two installation and adjustment mechanisms are provided on the movable base in this embodiment.
[0068] The mounting and adjustment mechanism includes a support frame 123, a fixing component 124 for fixing the booster, a first lifting adjustment component 125 for adjusting the position of the support frame in the Z direction, and a first lateral adjustment component 126 for adjusting the position of the support frame in the Y direction. The fixing component 124 is mounted on the support frame 123 and is hinged to the support frame 123 in the horizontal direction. The support frame 123 is mounted on a movable seat 121 via the first lifting adjustment component 125 and the first lateral adjustment component 126. In this embodiment, the support frame 123 adopts a U-shaped bracket structure, and the fixing component 124 uses a clamp to tightly fix the booster; the two sides of the clamp are hinged to the two ends of the support frame, allowing the clamp to rotate around the horizontal hinge point.
[0069] like Figure 7As shown, the first lateral adjustment component 126 in this embodiment includes a first sliding plate 126a and a first adjusting member 126b disposed on a movable base. The first sliding plate 126a is slidably engaged with the movable base 121, allowing the first sliding plate to slide along the Y direction on the movable base. The first adjusting member 126b is disposed on the movable base 121 and is used to adjust the position of the first sliding plate on the movable base. Here, the first adjusting member 126b can be a screw structure threaded to the movable base. One end of the first adjusting member is movably engaged with the first sliding block, and the other end of the first adjusting member is provided with a handwheel. Rotating the first adjusting member can adjust the position of the first sliding plate along the Y direction on the movable base.
[0070] The first lifting and adjusting assembly 125 includes a first adjusting screw 125a arranged along the Z-direction. The first adjusting screw 125a is threadedly connected to a first sliding plate 126a. An adjusting handwheel 125b is provided on the first adjusting screw 125a and is threadedly connected to the first adjusting screw 125a. The support frame 123 is located at the end of the first adjusting screw 125a. When adjusting the height of the support frame, rotating the adjusting handwheel drives the first adjusting screw to move up and down on the first sliding plate, thereby adjusting the height of the support frame. The first lifting and adjusting assembly 125 and the rotating connection structure of the clamp on the support frame cooperate to adjust the pitch angle of the booster.
[0071] In this embodiment, a slide rail is installed between the booster mounting device and the launch bracket to allow the booster to move freely on the launch bracket. When installing the booster, the booster mounting device is moved to an open space at the front end of the launch bracket, and the booster is hoisted onto the booster mounting device and fixed using a lifting device. Then, the booster mounting device is moved to the position where it will be installed with the UAV, and the booster's Y / Z position and pitch angle are adjusted to facilitate the coordination between the booster and the UAV. At the same time, after the booster is assembled onto the UAV, the booster mounting device can be moved to the front end of the launch bracket during launch to prevent the booster mounting device from interfering with the UAV or the booster. It is convenient to use and has good practicality.
[0072] Depending on the different connection methods required between the UAV and the booster, a booster lifting device can be installed on the launch bracket. In this embodiment, the booster lifting device is located at one end of the mounting bracket and is used to lift and limit the booster. The specific structure of the booster lifting device is as follows:
[0073] like Figure 8 and 9As shown, the booster lifting device 130 includes a lifting assembly 131 for limiting and supporting one end of the booster; a second lifting adjustment assembly 132, on which the lifting assembly 131 is mounted for adjusting the height of the lifting assembly; and a support adjustment assembly 133. The second lifting adjustment assembly 132 is hinged to the launch support, and both ends of the support adjustment assembly 133 are hinged to the launch support and the second lifting adjustment assembly 132, respectively, for supporting the second lifting adjustment assembly and adjusting its rotation in the vertical plane containing the X-axis. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 131 includes two opposing lifting arms 131a, which are U-shaped or fork-shaped in structure. Each lifting arm 131a has a support limiting notch 131b on one side. The two support limiting notches on the lifting arms respectively cooperate with corresponding structures at the tail of the booster to support and limit the tail of the booster.
[0074] The second lifting adjustment component 132 can adopt a screw and sleeve structure, with the screw and sleeve threaded together. Adjusting the length of the screw extending out of the sleeve allows for lifting adjustment of the lifting component. The support adjustment component 133 can adopt a connecting sleeve structure with screws at both ends of the connecting sleeve. The connecting sleeve is threaded to the screws at both ends, which have both positive and negative threads. When the connecting sleeve is rotated, the screws at both ends move inward or outward relative to the connecting sleeve, thereby adjusting the length of the support adjustment component. At this time, while providing stable support for the second lifting adjustment component, the support adjustment component can also adjust the pitch angle of the second lifting adjustment component and the lifting component, so that the lifting component and the booster can form a good fit and provide stable support for the booster.
[0075] Of course, the second lifting adjustment component and the support adjustment component here can also adopt other existing conventional structures such as electric struts, pneumatic struts or hydraulic struts, all of which can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects.
[0076] A second lateral adjustment assembly 134 is provided between the booster lifting device 130 and the launch support 110; for example Figure 13The second lateral adjustment assembly 134 includes a second sliding plate 134a and a second adjusting member 134b disposed on the launch support. The second sliding plate 134a is slidably engaged with the launch support 110, allowing the second sliding plate to slide along the Y direction on the launch support. The second adjusting member 134b is disposed on the launch support 110 and is used to adjust the position of the second sliding plate on the launch support. The second lifting adjustment assembly 132 and the support adjustment assembly 133 are disposed on the second sliding plate 134a, and are hinged to the second sliding plate 134a. Here, the second adjusting member can adopt the same or similar structure as the first adjusting member to achieve adjustment of the second sliding plate along the Y direction on the launch support. By adjusting the position of the booster lifting device on the launch support, good cooperation and support between the booster lifting device and the booster are facilitated.
[0077] In this embodiment, when the booster is installed in conjunction with the drone, the booster is tilted downwards and backwards relative to the bottom surface. The front end of the booster is freely connected to the thrust base under the drone fuselage via a thrust rod. After the booster finishes working, it will freely detach from the drone fuselage thrust base under its own weight. Therefore, before installing the booster and launching the drone, a booster lifting device needs to be set up to support and limit the rear end of the booster to prevent the booster from detaching from the drone.
[0078] The booster lifting device effectively positions and supports the rear end of the booster, ensuring a tight fit between the thrust rod at the front of the booster and the thrust seat of the UAV fuselage, achieving good coordination between the booster and the UAV. Simultaneously, in the pre-launch state, the booster lifting device can withstand the weight of the booster and the vibration load during UAV engine startup. During launch, the booster and UAV move forward together along the launch support at a certain angle. Here, the lifting component on the booster lifting device is set as a fork-shaped support structure, and a support limiting notch structure is set to support the booster, preventing the booster lifting device from interfering with the booster's movement during UAV launch. The reasonable structural design effectively ensures the functional requirements of UAV launch.
[0079] To prevent the jet stream from burning the booster lifting device during booster operation, such as Figure 1 As shown, a metal protective cover 140 coated with an ablation-resistant paint is installed on the launch support 110 in front of the booster lifting device.
[0080] The specification and drawings of this invention are intended to be illustrative rather than restrictive. Based on this invention, those skilled in the art can make substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative effort, and all such modifications are within the scope of protection of this invention.
