[0021] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the shock-absorbing connection structure shown. Figure 3 Shown is a structural schematic diagram of a connecting frame provided in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the support frame provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the shock-absorbing connection structure 10 includes a connecting frame 100, a supporting frame 200 and a shock-absorbing assembly.

[0023] Specifically, the connecting frame 100 is connected to the carrier unit. The connection method of the connecting frame 100 and the carrier unit can be welding, screwing, snapping, plugging, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. The carrier unit is used to carry modules such as control modules and operation modules, which is not specifically limited in this application. The support frame 200 is connected to the support unit. The connection method of the support frame 200 and the support unit can be welding, screwing, snapping, plugging, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. The support unit can be a wheeled support unit, a crawler support unit, etc., which is not specifically limited in this application. The support frame 200 includes a second axial hole 210. The connecting frame 100 includes a first axial hole 110. The shock absorbing assembly connects the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200.

[0024] Exemplarily, the shock absorbing assembly includes an elastic unit 310 and a rigid unit 320 .

[0025] Specifically, the elastic unit 310 connects the connecting frame 100 and the supporting frame 200, forming an elastic connection between the connecting frame 100 and the supporting frame 200. The connection method of the elastic unit 310 to the connecting frame 100 and the supporting frame 200 can be adhesive, screw connection, etc., and this application does not specifically limit it. In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic unit 310 can be a rubber body or a spring. Designers can choose according to actual needs. As long as it is an elastic unit, this application does not specifically limit the structure of the elastic unit 310.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic unit 310 can be a cylinder made of rubber, and the cylinder can have a first through hole along the axial direction. The connecting frame 100 can include a protrusion having a second through hole, and the support frame 200 can also include a protrusion having a third through hole. The shock-absorbing connection structure 10 can also include a connecting bolt, which passes through the second through hole, the first through hole, and the third through hole in sequence, thereby connecting the connecting frame 100, the elastic unit 310, and the support frame 200 together, and the elastic unit 310 is located between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, so that the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 form an elastic connection.

[0027] Specifically, the rigid unit 320 is located in the first axial hole 110 and the second axial hole 210. The rigid unit 320 can be a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the first axial hole 110 and the second axial hole 210, thereby being rotatably connected to the connecting frame 100 or the support frame 200, or being rotatably connected to both the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, thereby achieving relative rotation between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, ensuring a rigid connection between the connecting frame and the support frame, and improving the rigidity of the shock-absorbing connection structure.

[0028] The shock-absorbing connection structure 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a connecting frame 100 and a support frame 200, as well as a shock-absorbing assembly connecting the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200. The shock-absorbing assembly includes an elastic unit 310 and a rigid unit 320. The rigid unit 320 is located in the first axial hole 110 of the connecting frame 100 and the second axial hole 210 of the support frame 200, thereby allowing the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 to rotate relative to each other, achieving a rigid connection between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, and ensuring the rigidity of the shock-absorbing connection structure 10. The elastic unit 310 connects the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, forming an elastic connection between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, thereby reducing the impact of the vibration of the unmanned vehicle on the control module, operation module, power module and other modules installed on the unmanned vehicle. In other words, the shock-absorbing connection structure 10 of the present application can not only ensure the rigidity of the shock-absorbing connection structure 10, but also reduce the impact of the vibration of the unmanned vehicle on the various modules installed on the unmanned vehicle.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, the rigid unit 320 includes a central shaft 321, and the adapter 100 includes a bearing 120. The inner ring of the bearing 120 forms a first axial hole 110. The first axial hole 110 and the central shaft 321 form a transition fit, allowing the central shaft 321 and the adapter 100 to rotate relative to each other. A transition fit refers to a situation where the hole and the shaft may have a clearance fit or an interference fit during assembly, with the tolerance zone of the hole and the tolerance zone of the shaft overlapping. The characteristic of a transition fit is that it may have a clearance or an interference fit, but the clearance and interference are relatively small. It is mainly used for relatively static connections that require precise positioning and disassembly, such as the connection between the inner ring of a bearing and a shaft.

[0030] Specifically, the bearing 120 may be a deep groove ball bearing, a self-aligning ball bearing, a thrust ball bearing, a thrust roller bearing, a needle roller bearing, etc. This application does not specifically limit the type of the bearing 120 .

[0031] By forming a first axial hole 110 on the inner ring of the bearing 120 and transitionally fitting with the central shaft 321, the central shaft 321 and the connecting frame 100 can rotate relative to each other, reducing the friction between the first axial hole 110 and the central shaft 321, making the rotation between the central shaft 321 and the connecting frame 100 smoother.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, bearing 120 may be a single-row tapered roller bearing. Both the inner and outer rings of a tapered roller bearing have tapered raceways, within which the tapered rollers are mounted. Tapered roller bearings can withstand radial loads and unidirectional axial loads. Therefore, choosing a single-row tapered roller bearing can withstand axial forces generated by vibration, further improving shock absorption.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, the rigid unit 320 further includes a nut 322. The end of the central shaft 321 away from the bearing 120 includes a threaded shaft section, and the nut 322 is threadedly engaged with the threaded shaft section of the central shaft 321. Specifically, after the central shaft 321 passes through the second axial hole 210, it is threadedly engaged with the nut 322, thereby limiting the axial movement of the central shaft 321 and preventing the central shaft 321 from falling out of the second axial hole 210.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, the second shaft hole 210 includes a spline groove arranged along the axial direction of the second shaft hole 210, and the central shaft 321 includes a spline shaft portion arranged along the axial direction of the central shaft. The spline shaft portion is plug-fitted with the spline groove.

[0035] By inserting and mating the spline grooves with the spline shafts, the central shaft 321 and the support frame 200 are prevented from rotating relative to each other. That is, only relative rotation between the connecting frame 100 and the rigid unit 320 is retained, while the rigid unit 320 and the support frame 200 are fixedly connected by the spline shafts and spline grooves, thereby improving the rigidity between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present application, the connecting frame 100 includes a pivot portion 130 and a first lug 140 and a second lug 150 symmetrically disposed about the pivot portion 130. The supporting frame 200 includes a receiving portion 220 and a third lug 230 and a fourth lug 240 symmetrically disposed about the receiving portion 220. The elastic unit 310 includes a first elastic unit 311 and a second elastic unit 312.

[0037] Specifically, the first and second lugs 140, 150 can be integrally formed with the pivotal portion 130. The first and second lugs 140, 150 can also be fixed to the pivotal portion 130 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The first and second lugs 140, 150 can also be detachably connected to the pivotal portion 130 by screwing, plugging, or other methods. This application does not specifically limit the method for connecting the first and second lugs 140, 150 to the pivotal portion 130. The third and fourth lugs 230, 240 can be integrally formed with the receiving portion 220. The third and fourth lugs 230, 240 can also be fixed to the receiving portion 220 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The third and fourth lugs 230, 240 can also be detachably connected to the receiving portion 220 by screwing, plugging, or other methods. This application does not specifically limit the method for connecting the third and fourth lugs 230, 240 to the receiving portion 220.

[0038] Specifically, the first elastic unit 311 connects the first lug 140 and the third lug 230, and the second elastic unit 312 connects the second lug 150 and the fourth lug 240. The first elastic unit 311 can be connected to the first lug 140 and the third lug 230 by bonding, screwing, or snapping. The second elastic unit 312 can be connected to the second lug 150 and the fourth lug 240 by bonding, screwing, or snapping. This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the first elastic unit 311 and the first lug 140 and the third lug 230, or the connection method between the second elastic unit 312 and the second lug 150 and the fourth lug 240.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present application, the first lug 140 may include a fourth through hole 141. The second lug 150 may include a fifth through hole 151. The third lug 230 may include a sixth through hole 231. The fourth lug 240 may include a seventh through hole 241. The first elastic unit 311 may include an eighth through hole (not shown in the drawings). The second elastic unit 312 may include a ninth through hole (not shown in the drawings). The shock-absorbing connection structure 10 may further include a first lug connecting bolt 101 and a second lug connecting bolt 102. The first lug connecting bolt 101 passes through the fourth through hole 141, the eighth through hole, and the sixth through hole 231 in sequence, thereby connecting the connecting frame 100, the first elastic unit 310, and the support frame 200 together, and the first elastic unit 311 is located between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, so that the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 form an elastic connection. The second lug connecting bolt 102 passes through the fifth through hole 151, the ninth through hole and the seventh through hole 241 in sequence, thereby connecting the connecting frame 100, the second elastic unit 312 and the support frame 200 together, and the second elastic unit 312 is located between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, so that the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 form an elastic connection.

[0040] By providing the first lug 140 and the second lug 150 symmetrically arranged around the pivot portion 130 and the third lug 230 and the fourth lug 240 symmetrically arranged around the receiving portion 220, the first elastic unit 311 connects the first lug 140 and the third lug 230, and the second elastic unit 312 connects the second lug 150 and the fourth lug 240, thereby limiting the relative rotation angle between the connecting frame 100 and the supporting frame 200. Figure 1 As shown, if the support frame 200 rotates clockwise relative to the connecting frame 100 ( Figure 1In the direction indicated by the arrow A in the middle), the first elastic unit 311 is stretched and the second elastic unit 312 is compressed. Since the first elastic unit 311 and the second elastic unit 312 both have preset stretching and compression ranges, the relative rotation angle between the support frame 200 and the connecting frame 100 can be limited. By setting the preset stretching and compression ranges of the first elastic unit 311 and the second elastic unit 312, the relative rotation angle between the support frame 200 and the connecting frame 100 can be set. By limiting the relative rotation angle between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, the stability of the shock-absorbing connection structure 10 caused by the excessive rotation angle between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 can be prevented from decreasing. That is, by limiting the relative rotation angle between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, both the shock-absorbing effect and the stability of the shock-absorbing connection structure 10 can be achieved.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, one end of the pivoting portion 130 includes a pivoting surface 131, and one end of the receiving portion 220 includes a receiving surface 221. The pivoting surface 131 is in contact with the receiving surface 221. Specifically, the pivoting portion 130 can be a cylinder with an axial through hole, and the pivoting surface 131 is formed by changing the radius of part of the cylinder. Figure 3 As shown, the radius of the pivoting surface 131 is smaller than the radius of other positions of the pivoting portion 130. The receiving portion 220 can also be a cylinder with an axial through hole. Figure 3 As shown, the receiving surface 221 can be a semicircular curved surface located at one end of the receiving portion 220. The radius of the curved surface of the receiving surface 221 can be equal to the radius of the pivoting surface 131, so that the receiving surface 221 and the pivoting surface 131 form a surface contact. The pivoting portion 130 and the receiving portion 220 can also have other shapes, which can be selected by the designer according to actual needs and are not specifically limited in this application.

[0042] By providing the pivotal surface 131 and the receiving surface 221, and by making the pivotal surface 131 and the receiving surface 221 fit together, a surface contact is achieved between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200, thereby increasing the contact area between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200 and improving the connection rigidity between the connecting frame 100 and the support frame 200. In addition, by providing the pivotal surface 131 and the receiving surface 221, only the pivotal surface 131 and the receiving surface 221 need to be fine-machined, ensuring the roundness and coaxiality of the pivotal surface 131 and the receiving surface 221, thereby reducing processing costs.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present application, one end of the pivot portion 130 includes a first lug 140 and a second lug 150 symmetrically arranged around the pivot portion 130. The other end of the pivot portion 130 includes two connecting beams, namely a first connecting beam 160 and a second connecting beam 170. The number of connecting beams can be selected according to actual needs and is not specifically limited in this application. The first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 can be symmetrically arranged around the pivot portion 130. The first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 are connected to the carrier unit, thereby providing two support points for the carrier unit and improving the stability of the carrier unit.

[0044] The first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 can be integrally formed with the pivotal portion 130. The first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 can also be fixed to the pivotal portion 130 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 can also be detachably connected to the pivotal portion 130 by screwing, plugging, or other methods. This application does not specifically limit the method of connecting the first connecting beam 160 and the second connecting beam 170 to the pivotal portion 130.

[0045] One end of the receiving portion 220 includes a third lug 230 and a fourth lug 240 symmetrically arranged about the receiving portion 220, and the other end includes two support arms, namely a first support arm 250 and a second support arm 260. The number of support arms can be selected based on actual needs and is not specifically limited in this application. The first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 can be symmetrically arranged about the receiving portion 220. The first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 are connected to the support unit, thereby providing two support points for the support unit and improving the stability of the support unit.

[0046] The first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 can be integrally formed with the receiving portion 220. The first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 can also be fixed to the receiving portion 220 by welding, bonding, or other methods. The first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 can also be detachably connected to the receiving portion 220 by screwing, plugging, or other methods. This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the first support arm 250 and the second support arm 260 and the receiving portion 220.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the connecting beam includes an connecting hole, the loading unit includes an connecting rod, and the connecting rod plugs into the connecting hole. The support arm includes a support hole, and the support unit includes a support rod, and the support rod plugs into the support hole. The plug-in connection facilitates the connection between the connecting frame 100 and the loading unit, facilitating installation and removal of the connecting frame 100 and the loading unit, thereby improving the user experience. The plug-in connection facilitates the connection between the support frame 200 and the support unit, facilitating installation and removal of the support frame 200 and the support unit, thereby improving the user experience.

[0048] Figure 5 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an unmanned vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the unmanned vehicle includes the shock-absorbing connection structure 20, the control module 30, and the wheeled support module 40 mentioned in any of the above embodiments.

[0049] Specifically, the shock-absorbing connection structure 20 connects the control module 30 and the wheeled support module 40. The shock-absorbing connection structure 20 can be connected to the control module 30 directly or through the cargo carrier 50. For example, the shock-absorbing connection structure 20 can be directly welded to the control module 30. In another example, the shock-absorbing connection structure 20 can be connected to the cargo carrier 50 through welding, screwing, snapping, plugging, etc., and then the control module 30 is fixed to the cargo carrier 50, facilitating installation and removal of the control module 30.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, the unmanned vehicle includes two shock-absorbing connection structures 20. The two shock-absorbing connection structures 20 are symmetrically arranged around the cargo unit 50, thereby improving the stability of the cargo unit 50 and thus improving the stability of the control module 30 fixed to the cargo unit 50, further reducing the impact of vibration on the control module 30.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the unmanned vehicle includes four wheeled support modules 40. The four wheeled support modules 40 are arranged in a matrix with a cargo unit 50 as the center, thereby improving the stability of the cargo unit 50, thereby improving the stability of the control module 30 fixed to the cargo unit 50, and further reducing the impact of vibration on the control module 30.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the unmanned vehicle may further include a power module 41. The power module 41 may be a motor that drives wheels 42 in the wheeled support module 40. The unmanned vehicle may further include an operation module (not shown in the accompanying drawings). The operation module may be a module for spraying pesticides, seeds, powders, etc. This application does not specifically limit the type of operation module.

[0053] By making the unmanned vehicle include the shock-absorbing connection structure 20, the shock-absorbing effect of the unmanned vehicle is improved, and the impact of the vibration of the unmanned vehicle on the control module 30, the power module 41, the operation module and other modules installed on the unmanned vehicle is reduced.
