[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a data conversion device. The present invention also relates to UAV equipment having the data conversion device. Background Art

[0002] At present, drones can be used in civilian fields, for example, to artificially influence the weather and spread pesticides.

[0003] When using drones, some newly added equipment needs to be configured as a set with the original equipment. After the configuration is completed, data conversion is performed between the overall equipment and the drone platform. However, when the existing equipment and the newly added equipment are connected to the original data transmission path, there is a large amount of data redundancy. The data conversion and data analysis between multiple device parameters will increase heat. The heat dissipation performance of the data conversion device on the current equipment is poor. Once the power consumption and heat increase, it will often affect the safe operation of the data conversion device.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent the safe operation of the data conversion device from being affected due to the poor heat dissipation performance of the data conversion device is a technical problem that those skilled in the art currently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a data conversion device that can improve heat dissipation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the device's operation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a drone device including the above-mentioned data conversion device.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a data conversion device, including a shell component and a functional module assembly arranged in the shell component, wherein the shell component is provided with a plurality of strip structures, all of the strip structures extend out of the shell component, and some of the strip structures extend into the interior of the shell component and contact and abut against the functional module assembly.

[0007] Optionally, the strip structure is provided on all four sides of the shell component.

[0008] Optionally, the strip structures on both sides of the housing component extend into the interior of the housing component and contact and abut against the functional module assembly.

[0009] Optionally, any of the strip structures is arranged along the length direction of the shell component.

[0010] Optionally, the shell component and all the strip structures are an integrated structure.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a plurality of anti-collision strips provided on the shell component, and the plurality of anti-collision strips are respectively detachably connected to the corners of the shell component, and the size of the portion of any anti-collision strip protruding from the shell component is larger than the size of the portion of any strip structure protruding from the shell component.

[0012] Optionally, the functional module assembly includes a power module, a communication interface module and a host module, and the host module, the communication interface module and the power module are stacked from top to bottom inside the housing component.

[0013] Optionally, the system further comprises a rear cover plate fixedly connected to one end of the housing component in the longitudinal direction, wherein the inner side of the rear cover plate is provided with a limit bar arranged vertically and limiting the displacement of the power module, the communication interface module and the host module;

[0014] It also includes a base plate, an adapter plate and a front panel component, wherein the base plate, the adapter plate and the front panel component are fixedly connected to the other end of the shell component in the length direction, and the base plate is provided with slots for plugging in the power module, the communication interface module and the host module.

[0017] In contrast to the above background technology, the data conversion device provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing component and a functional module assembly, wherein the functional module assembly is disposed within the housing component. To enhance the device's heat dissipation and collision avoidance, the housing component is provided with a plurality of strip-like structures, all of which extend from the housing component, while some of which extend into the interior of the housing component and contact the functional module assembly. Thus, on the one hand, all of the strip-like structures on the housing component serve as heat dissipation structures, transferring heat from the interior of the housing component to the exterior of the housing component, thereby achieving heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the strip-like structures that extend into the interior of the housing component accelerate heat dissipation. On the other hand, all of the strip-like structures on the housing component serve as collision avoidance structures, preventing the housing component from directly colliding with external structures when the device collides with them, thereby providing a collision avoidance function.

[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The core of the present invention is to provide a data conversion device that can improve the heat dissipation effect, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the device's operation. Another core of the present invention is to provide a drone device that includes the above-mentioned data conversion device.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper end, lower end, left side, right side" described below are all defined based on the drawings in the specification.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1An exploded diagram of a data conversion device provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 A front view of a data conversion device provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 A right side view of a data conversion device provided by an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 A top view of a data conversion device provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The data conversion device provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a shell component 3 and a functional module assembly 2, wherein the functional module assembly 2 is arranged in the shell component 3. Furthermore, in order to improve the heat dissipation and anti-collision effects of the device, a plurality of strip structures 301 are provided on the shell component 3, and the strip structures 301 can be arranged on part or all of the structure of the shell component 3.

[0031] It should be noted that all the strip structures 301 extend out of the housing component 3 , and part of the strip structures 301 extend into the interior of the housing component 3 and contact and abut against the functional module assembly 2 .

[0032] In this way, on the one hand, all the strip structures 301 on the shell part 3 serve as heat dissipation structures, which are used to conduct the heat inside the shell part 3 to the outside of the shell part 3 to achieve the heat dissipation function. At the same time, part of the strip structure 301 extending into the interior of the shell part 3 is in direct contact with the functional module assembly 2 as the heat source, which can accelerate the heat dissipation; on the other hand, all the strip structures 301 on the shell part 3 serve as anti-collision structures, which can prevent the shell part 3 from directly colliding with the external structure when the device collides with the external structure, thereby having an anti-collision function.

[0033] That is to say, compared with traditional data conversion devices with poor heat dissipation performance and poor anti-collision performance, the data conversion device provided by the embodiment of the present invention can not only improve the heat dissipation effect, but also achieve anti-collision effect, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the data conversion device inside the drone and improving the service life of the data conversion device.

[0034] Herein, the housing component 3 includes but is not limited to a frame structure having a circular cross section, a rectangular cross section, etc. The following is a detailed description taking a frame structure having a rectangular cross section as an example.

[0035] The strip structures 301 are arranged around the four sides of the shell component 3. In other words, all the strip structures 301 are distributed over the four side walls of the shell component 3.

[0036] In order to ensure uniform heat dissipation around the entire shell component 3, all strip structures 301 are evenly distributed on the shell component 3. In this way, all strip structures 301 on any side wall of the shell component 3 are arranged parallel to each other, and the spacing between any two adjacent strip structures 301 on any side wall of the shell component 3 is equal, which is conducive to ensuring uniformity and stability of heat flow dissipation inside the shell component 3.

[0037] Furthermore, to enhance heat dissipation on both sides of the housing component 3, strip structures 301 extend into the interior of the housing component 3 and contact and abut against the functional module assembly 2. This allows for direct heat transfer within the housing component 3, further enhancing heat dissipation. In the event of a direct impact, the strip structures 301 are creased at the impact point, allowing the functional module assembly 2 to quickly detach from the strip structures 301 without affecting the operation of the circuit modules within the functional module assembly 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, any strip-shaped structure 301 is arranged along the extension direction / length direction of the housing component 3. The length of any strip-shaped structure 301 can be set to be equal to or less than the length of the housing component 3.

[0039] The shell component 3 and the strip structure 301 are integrally formed. The shell component 3 and the strip structure 301 are not specifically limited in material. They can be integrally formed of metal such as aluminum or composite materials such as plastic with good heat dissipation performance by injection molding.

[0040] In this way, the housing component 3 can be of a closed design to ensure that the housing component 3 as a whole is not circulated with the outside air, so that there is no water and impurities inside the housing component 3 to affect the operation of the entire circuit in the functional module assembly 2.

[0041] To further enhance the data conversion device's collision resistance, it also includes anti-collision strips 302 disposed on the housing component 3. Multiple anti-collision strips 302 are detachably connected to the corners of the housing component 3. In this embodiment, there are four anti-collision strips 302, each detachably connected to the four corners of the housing component 3. The portion of any anti-collision strip 302 protruding from the housing component 3 is larger than the portion of any strip-shaped structure 301 protruding from the housing component 3.

[0042] Of course, according to actual needs, the above-mentioned anti-collision strip 302 can be set as an anti-collision strip 302 with an L-shaped cross-section, such as a plastic structure with a preset thickness and elasticity. The anti-collision strip 302 can use detachable connectors (such as screws) or be directly bonded and fixed to the corners of the shell component 3.

[0043] In this way, if an unexpected collision occurs, the anti-collision strip 302 collides with the external structure first and uses elasticity to buffer part of the impact force, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the operation of the functional module assembly 2 inside the shell part 3.

[0044] In this embodiment, the functional module assembly 2 interconnects with multiple system devices, receives relevant data, and forwards it to the drone platform, enabling the sharing of relevant parameters between the various system devices. Specifically, the functional module assembly 2 includes a power module 201, a communication interface module 202, and a host module 203. The host module 203, communication interface module 202, and power module 201 are stacked from top to bottom within the housing component 3.

[0045] On the basis of the above, the data conversion device also includes a rear cover plate 1, which is fixed to one end of the shell part 3 in the length direction. A limit bar is provided on the inner side of the rear cover plate 1. The limit bar is arranged vertically and is used to limit the displacement of the power module 201, the communication interface module 202 and the host module 203. In this way, during a severe impact, the displacement of the power module 201, the communication interface module 202 and the host module 203 will not be too large, and the impact force can be shared to protect the circuit board, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the functional module assembly 2 in the shell part 3.

[0046] In addition, the data conversion device also includes a base plate 4, an adapter plate 5 and a front panel component 6. The base plate 4, the adapter plate 5 and the front panel component 6 are fixed to the other end of the shell component 3 in the length direction. The base plate 4 is provided with slots for plugging in the power module 201, the communication interface module 202 and the host module 203, and the base plate 4, the adapter plate 5, the front panel component 6, the shell component 3 and the rear cover plate 1 form a closed structure.

[0047] Preferably, the external overall structure of the data conversion device adopts a closed design, and the bottom plate 4 and the side panels around the shell part 3 are welded. As the main load-bearing components, the installation angle of the drone is designed on the bottom plate 4.

[0048] The data conversion device using the above-mentioned arrangement has a large data processing capacity, good heat dissipation, and a relatively balanced temperature in the entire working environment, without problems of excessively high or low temperatures. At the same time, it has strong impact resistance, and the multi-layer anti-collision components arranged on the data conversion device can prevent circuit damage and protect the overall data transmission security.

[0049] The present invention provides a drone device, including the data conversion device described in the above specific embodiment; other parts of the drone device can refer to the existing technology and will not be elaborated in this article.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0051] The above describes in detail the drone equipment and data conversion device provided by the present invention. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only intended to help understand the solution and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
