Detailed Implementation
[0048] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0050] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.
[0051] This invention solves the problems of low throwing accuracy and poor efficiency in existing throwing devices.
[0052] This embodiment provides a launcher 20, which is detachably mounted on the drone 10. For example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the thrower 20 includes a frame 210, a mounting structure 220, and a throwing control assembly 230. The frame 210 has a mounting area 211 for connecting to the drone 10. The mounting structure 220 is mounted on the frame 210 and cooperates with the frame 210 to form a clamping cavity for fixing the thrown object. The clamping cavity is arranged around the drone. The mounting structure 220 is detachably connected to the frame 210. The throwing control assembly 230 is mounted on the frame 210.
[0053] The mounting structure 220 has a first state and a second state. When the mounting structure 220 is in the first state, the throwing control component 230 locks the mounting structure 220, and the mounting structure 220 and the frame 210 cooperate to form a clamping cavity for fixing the projectile. When the mounting structure 220 is in the second state, the throwing control component 230 releases the locking of the mounting structure 220, and a delivery port communicating with the clamping cavity is formed between the mounting structure 220 and the frame 210. The delivery port is used for throwing or installing the projectile.
[0054] It should be noted that the projectile can be circular, square, oval, or other irregularly shaped, or a combination of at least two of these shapes. For example, the projectile can be a stone, or a fire extinguisher with a safety device that needs to be activated.
[0055] Specifically, this application uses a clamping cavity to fix the projectile. In this application, the clamping cavity is arranged around the drone to ensure that the detection area used for ground detection is not obstructed, thus improving safety. The clamping cavity of this application can accommodate projectiles of different sizes, thus increasing its applicability. This application adopts a detachable structure of mounting structure 220 and frame 210, which allows for the replacement of different mounting structures 220 according to the characteristics of different items, thus simplifying the structure and reducing the cost of use.
[0056] Furthermore, this application uses the throwing control component 230 to lock the mounting structure 220, thereby fixing the projectile inside the clamping cavity; or the throwing control component 230 can release the locking mounting structure 220, thereby allowing the projectile to be thrown from the delivery port. The mounting structure 220 used in this application for positioning and installing the projectile can accommodate projectiles of different sizes, thus improving its applicability. At the same time, this application eliminates the need for an additional projectile ejection mechanism, resulting in a simplified structure and reduced operating costs.
[0057] Furthermore, with the bottom-formed delivery port in the second state, the projectile can be thrown from inside the clamping cavity through the delivery port under the action of gravity. Of course, the delivery port can also be used to install the projectile. When installing the projectile, the projectile can be installed from the delivery port into the inside of the clamping cavity, and then locked with the delivery control component 230 through the installation structure 220 to fix the projectile.
[0058] Furthermore, the shape of the clamping cavity in this application can be adapted to the shape of the projectile. For example, it can be square, round, or irregularly shaped, depending on whether it can accommodate and lock the projectile.
[0059] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 220 includes a fixing frame 221 and a locking member 222. The first end of the fixing frame 221 is connected to the frame body 210, and the first end of the locking member 222 is movably connected to the second end of the fixing frame 221. The second end of the locking member 222 is connected to or separated from the frame body 210. When the mounting structure 220 is in the first state, the second end of the locking member 222 is connected to the frame body 210 through the throwing control component 230, and the inner wall of the clamping cavity abuts against the thrown object. When the mounting structure 220 is in the second state, the second end of the locking member 222 is separated from the frame body 210, and a throwing port is formed between the second end of the locking member 222 and the frame body 210.
[0060] In the process of fixing the projectile, the projectile is brought into contact with the fixing frame 221, and then the position and length of the locking member 222 are adjusted so that the inner wall surface of the clamping cavity formed by the fixing frame 221 and the locking member 222 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the projectile to fix the projectile.
[0061] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the projectile of this application is set along the length direction X of the drone, and the fixing frame 221 and the locking member 222 are set at intervals along the height direction Z of the drone. The fixing frame 221 is located above the locking member 222, so that when the locking member 222 contacts and locks with the throwing control component 230, the throwing port between the locking member 222 and the frame 210 is set downward, and the projectile can be thrown under the action of gravity.
[0062] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the locking member 222 is located below the fixing frame 221. The fixing frame 221 has a mounting portion 2211 with an opening facing the locking member 222. Along the opening direction of the mounting portion 2211, the distance between a set of opposing sides of the mounting portion 2211 gradually increases to form a flared structure. The set of opposing sides of the mounting portion 2211 are the inner wall surfaces of two side walls that are oppositely arranged along the length direction Y of the frame 210. The inner wall surface of the mounting portion 2211 is used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the projectile.
[0063] Specifically, the flared structure of the mounting part 2211 can abut against the outer circumference of projectiles of different sizes when fixing projectiles, thereby improving the applicability of the projectile 20.
[0064] In this embodiment, the mounting part 2211 is a mounting groove or mounting channel, and a set of opposing sidewalls on the mounting part 2211 along the length Y direction of the frame 210 form a flared structure. The mounting channel and mounting groove are designed to not interfere with the installation of the projectile.
[0065] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end face of the frame 210 facing the fixed frame 221 is provided with a pair of guide portions 214 and a stop block 215 disposed between the two guide portions 214. The guide portion 214 has a first arm segment 2141 and a second arm segment 2142 with a bend. The first arm segment 2141 is connected to the fixed frame 221, and the second arm segment 2142 extends toward the guide portion 214 on the opposite side. A guide groove 2143 is formed between the second arm segment 2142 and the end face of the fixed frame 221. At least a part of the fixed frame 221 is slidably disposed inside the guide groove 2143. The bottom surface of the fixed frame 221 abuts against the stop block 215. The thrower 20 also includes a locking mechanism 240. The locking mechanism 240 is mounted on the frame 210. At least a part of the locking mechanism 240 abuts against or separates from the top surface of the fixed frame 221. The fixed frame 221 is detachably connected to the frame 210 through the locking mechanism 240.
[0066] The two guide portions 214 are arranged in pairs and spaced apart. The stop blocks 215 are installed in the area between the two guide portions 214. When the locking mechanism 240 abuts against the top surface of the fixing frame 221, the stop blocks 215 of the locking mechanism 240 limit the fixing frame 221 vertically, and the guide groove 2143 limits the fixing frame 221 horizontally and backward, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the fixing frame 221. When the locking mechanism 240 separates from the top surface of the fixing frame 221 to release the fixing frame 221, the fixing frame 221 can slide out from the top of the guide groove 2143, thereby achieving the disassembly of the fixing frame 221.
[0067] Specifically, the fixing frame 221 is detachably connected to the frame body 210 so that the fixing frame 221 can be disassembled when needed. This application uses the position adjustment locking mechanism 240 to realize the assembly and disassembly of the fixing frame 221, which has the technical effect of convenient operation.
[0068] Furthermore, the first arm segment 2141 and the second arm segment 2142 are vertically arranged to form an L-shaped guide portion 214, and the guide groove 2143 formed between the guide portion 214 and the frame 210 is used to accommodate and limit the fixing frame 221.
[0069] Furthermore, the top of the frame 210 has a first through hole, and the end face of the frame 210 facing the fixing frame 221 has a second through hole, which is located above the stop block 215.
[0070] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 240 includes a snap-fit structure 241, an elastic element 242, and a mounting shaft 243. The snap-fit structure 241 has a first protrusion structure 2411 and a second protrusion structure 2412. At least a portion of the first protrusion structure 2411 extends through a first through hole to the outside of the frame 210. The second protrusion structure 2412 extends through a second through hole to the outside of the frame 210 and abuts against the top surface of the fixing frame 221. Alternatively, the second protrusion structure 2412 may be located inside the frame 210 to avoid the fixing frame 221. The mounting shaft 243 is mounted on the frame 210. The snap-fit structure 241 is sleeved on the mounting shaft 243 and can move along the extension direction of the mounting shaft 243. One end of the elastic element 242 is connected to the frame 210, and the other end of the elastic element 242 is connected to the snap-fit structure 241. The elastic element 242 provides a driving force for the snap-fit structure 241 to move toward the fixing frame 221.
[0071] The first protruding structure 2411 exposed outside the frame 210 can be manually adjusted in position. Adjusting the position of the first protruding structure 2411 allows for adjustment of the position of the second protruding structure 2412. When the second protruding structure 2412 separates from the fixing frame 221, the fixing frame 221 can be disassembled. During the installation of the fixing frame 221, after the fixing frame 221 is in place, releasing the first protruding structure 2411 allows the second protruding structure 2412 to move to a position abutting against the fixing frame 221, thus positioning the fixing frame 221.
[0072] Specifically, the first through hole is a hole structure extending along the length direction Y of the frame 210, and the second protrusion structure 2412 is moved by sliding the first protrusion structure 2411 along the length direction Y of the frame 210.
[0073] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the second protrusion structure 2412 in this application is parallel to the top surface of the fixing frame 221, so as to achieve the limiting of the second protrusion structure 2412 and the top surface of the fixing frame 221 by means of face-to-face contact, thereby improving the stability of installation.
[0074] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 240 further includes a snap-fit fixing seat 244, which is disposed inside the frame 210 and connected to the frame 210. The mounting shaft 243 is connected to the snap-fit fixing seat 244, and the end of the elastic member 242 away from the snap-fit structure 241 abuts against the snap-fit fixing seat 244.
[0075] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 240 can be disassembled by removing the snap-fit fixing seat 244, thereby enabling the maintenance, upkeep and replacement of the locking mechanism 240.
[0076] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the locking member 222 has a gripper 2221, a restraint member 2222 and a positioning member 2223 connected in sequence. One end of the gripper 2221 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 221. The restraint member 2222 is disposed between the gripper 2221 and the positioning member 2223. The positioning member 2223 is locked to or separated from the frame 210.
[0077] Specifically, when fixing projectiles of different sizes, the length of the restraint 2222 located between the gripper 2221 and the positioning member 2223 can be adjusted to accommodate the fixing of the projectile.
[0078] Furthermore, the restraint component 2222 is made of a flexible material. The restraint component 2222 can be a structural component such as Velcro, rope, or bandage. The length of the restraint component 2222 between the gripper 2221 and the positioning component 2223 can be adjusted by adjusting the connection position of the restraint component 2222 with the gripper 2221 and the positioning component 2223.
[0079] In this embodiment, the positioning member 2223 has a positioning hole, and the throwing control component 230 has a positioning protrusion 2311. When the mounting structure 220 is in the first state, at least a portion of the positioning protrusion 2311 extends into the interior of the positioning hole, and the positioning member 2223 is connected to the frame 210 through the positioning protrusion 2311. When the mounting structure 220 switches from the first state to the second state, the positioning protrusion 2311 separates from the positioning member 2223, and the positioning member 2223 separates from the frame 210 under the gravity of the thrown object.
[0080] When the mounting structure 220 is in the first state, the positioning hole is inside the frame 210, and at least a portion of the positioning protrusion 2311 extends into the interior of the positioning hole to lock the positioning member 2223.
[0081] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the throwing control assembly 230 includes a swing lock 231, a reset structure 234, and a drive member 232. The swing lock 231 is rotatably connected to the frame 210. The first end of the swing lock 231 has a positioning protrusion 2311. One end of the reset structure 234 is connected to the frame 210, and the other end of the reset structure 234 is connected to the swing lock 231. The reset structure 234 provides a reset force for the positioning protrusion 2311 to extend into the positioning hole. The drive member 232 is installed on the frame 210. When the mounting structure 220 switches from the first state to the second state, the drive member 232 abuts against the second end of the swing lock 231. The drive member 232 provides a driving force for the swing lock 231 to rotate in the direction of separation from the positioning member 2223.
[0082] Furthermore, the swing lock 231 is rotatably mounted on the frame 210, the frame 210 has a mounting protrusion 213, and a mounting hole 2312 is provided at the drive position between the first end and the second end of the swing lock 231. At least a portion of the mounting protrusion 213 extends into the interior of the mounting hole 2312, and the reset structure 234 is provided between the outer wall surface of the mounting protrusion 213 and the inner wall surface of the mounting hole 2312.
[0083] Among them, the reset structure 234 is a torsion spring, which provides rotational force to the swing lock through the torsion spring.
[0084] Furthermore, the drive unit 232 includes a digital servo and an unlocking lever 233 mounted on the digital servo. The digital servo is driven to the unlocking lever 233, which is used to abut against the swing lock 231. When a throwing operation is required, the drive unit 232 drives the unlocking lever 233 to rotate, which in turn drives the swing lock 231 to rotate. The positioning protrusion 2311 moves out of the mounting hole 2312, and under the pressure of gravity and the object being thrown, the positioning member 2223 separates from the frame 210 and forms a throwing port, through which the object is thrown.
[0085] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the mounting structure 220 also includes a clamping member 250, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 221. The clamping member 250 has a clamping channel for clamping the handle of the projectile, which extends axially along the clamping member 250.
[0086] Specifically, the throwable is positioned by clamping the throwable handle with the clamping member 250, which further improves the stability of the throwable installation. The clamping member 250 clamps the throwable handle in the forward and backward direction, that is, the length direction X of the UAV, to limit the throwable handle and prevent the throwable handle from moving in the forward and backward direction.
[0087] Furthermore, the clamping member 250 includes an upper clamping plate 251 and a lower clamping plate 252 spaced apart, and a fastener disposed between the upper clamping plate 251 and the lower clamping plate 252. A clamping channel is formed between the upper clamping plate 251 and the lower clamping plate 252. The upper clamping plate 251 and / or the lower clamping plate 252 are connected to the fixing frame 221. The upper clamping plate 251 provides driving force toward the lower clamping plate 252. The fastener is a bolt or an elastic tensioning member, such as a spring or an elastic sheet.
[0088] In this embodiment, one or more mounting structures 220 are provided. When there are multiple mounting structures 220, the multiple mounting structures 220 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the frame 210.
[0089] It should be noted that the bottom of the frame 210 is provided with an opening to avoid the sensors on the bottom of the drone, so that the installation of the frame 210 on the drone will not affect the drone's sensing system, and thus will not cause the frame 210 to affect the throwing accuracy.
[0090] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 In the specific embodiment shown, there are two mounting structures 220, which are arranged 180° apart around the frame 210 to avoid obstructing the ground detection device installed at the bottom of the drone.
[0091] Of course, it is not limited to the above-mentioned 180° circumferential arrangement, but can also be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 210 to avoid obstructing the obstacle avoidance sensors located at the bottom of the drone.
[0092] In another specific embodiment of this example, the mounting structure can also be set to three or four (not shown in the figure). The clamping cavity of the mounting structure is evenly arranged around the outer periphery of the drone to avoid obstructing the bottom surface detection device set at the bottom of the drone.
[0093] In another embodiment of this application, the launcher further includes a safety activation device 40, such as... Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the insurance activation device 40 is installed on the frame 210.
[0094] Specifically, the safety activation device 40 includes a fixed base 410, a power component, a telescopic assembly 420, and a locking assembly 430. The fixed base 410 is connected to the frame 210 of the thrower. The power component is mounted on the fixed base 410 and is drivenly connected to the telescopic assembly 420. The telescopic assembly 420 is slidably connected to the fixed base 410. The power component provides driving force for the telescopic assembly 420 to move toward or away from the fixed base 410. The locking assembly 430 is movably disposed at the end of the telescopic assembly 420 away from the fixed base 410. The locking assembly 430 is used to lock or release the safety ring that locks the thrower.
[0095] Specifically, after the locking assembly 430 locks the safety ring, when it is necessary to separate the safety ring from the projectile, the telescopic assembly 420 can be extended by a power component, thereby separating the safety ring from the projectile and activating the projectile. After the projectile is thrown, the telescopic assembly 420 returns to its original position under the drive of the power component. This application uses a power component to drive the telescopic assembly 420 to extend and retract to activate the projectile, thus improving the ease of operation.
[0096] Furthermore, the power component is installed inside the fixed base 410. The power component can be a telescopic motor, telescopic cylinder, or other structural component that can provide driving force.
[0097] Furthermore, the telescopic assembly 420 includes a sliding rod 421, a positioning seat 422, and a baffle 423. The sliding rod 421 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 410, and the power component is drivenly connected to the sliding rod 421. One end of the sliding rod 421 away from the fixed seat 410 is connected to the positioning seat 422. The baffle 423 is disposed at one end of the positioning seat 422 away from the fixed seat 410, and a positioning area is formed between the baffle 423 and the positioning seat 422. At least a portion of the locking assembly 430 extends into the positioning area and abuts against the baffle 423 to fix the safety ring of the projectile, or the locking assembly 430 separates from the baffle 423 to release the safety ring that fixes the projectile.
[0098] Specifically, the power component drives the sliding rod 421 to move, which in turn moves the positioning seat 422. The locking assembly 430 cooperates with the positioning seat 422 and the baffle 423 to fix or release the safety ring securing the projectile.
[0099] Furthermore, the positioning seat 422 has a receiving cavity and an elongated hole 4221 communicating with the receiving cavity. The elongated hole 4221 extends along the length direction of the sliding rod 421 and is disposed on the side wall of the positioning seat 422.
[0100] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 430 includes a sleeve 431, a locking structure 432, and an elastic element 433. The sleeve 431 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 421. The locking structure 432 is slidably disposed on the sleeve 431. The locking structure 432 has a locking protrusion 4321 and a handle 4322. The handle 4322 extends through the elongated hole 4221 to the outside of the positioning seat 422. The locking protrusion 4321 is used to abut or separate from the baffle 423. The elastic element 433 is disposed between the sleeve 431 and the locking structure 432. The elastic element 433 provides elastic force for the locking structure 432 to move toward the baffle 423.
[0101] The handle 4322 can move along the length of the elongated hole 4221.
[0102] Furthermore, the locking protrusion 4321 may be housed inside the positioning seat 422; or at least a portion of the locking protrusion 4321 may extend out of the positioning seat 422 and abut or be interference-fitted with the baffle 423.
[0103] In this embodiment, the axial movement distance of the handle portion 4322 is limited by the length of the elongated hole 4221. When the handle portion 4322 is not subjected to external force, the elastic member 433 provides a driving force for the handle portion 4322 to move toward the baffle 423, so that the locking protrusion 4321 abuts against the baffle 423 or at least partially extends into the interior of the baffle 423. When the handle portion 4322 is subjected to external force to move the locking structure 432 away from the baffle 423, the locking structure 432 compresses the elastic member 433, and the locking protrusion 4321 separates from the baffle 423.
[0104] In one specific embodiment of this invention, the projectile is a fire extinguisher bomb with a safety device that needs to be activated. The fire extinguisher bomb with the safety device has a projectile body and a projectile safety ring disposed on the projectile body. The projectile body is housed inside the clamping cavity, and the projectile safety ring is locked by the locking component 430 of the safety activation device 40 to prevent accidental removal of the projectile safety ring.
[0105] Furthermore, after the throwing body is installed inside the clamping cavity, the drive handle 4322 separates the locking protrusion 4321 from the baffle 423, and then the throwing safety ring extends into the positioning area and is fitted onto the locking protrusion 4321; then the handle 4322 is released, and under the drive of the elastic member 433, the locking protrusion 4321 moves toward the baffle 423 and abuts against or is press-fitted with the baffle 423. At this time, the throwing safety ring locks onto the locking protrusion 4321, and the throwing safety ring is locked.
[0106] When the projectile needs to be activated, the power component drives the telescopic assembly 420 to move, thereby causing the locking assembly 430 to move synchronously with the telescopic assembly 420. This causes the projectile safety ring to separate from the projectile body, thus activating the projectile. Once activated, the projectile can be thrown.
[0107] In another embodiment of this application, a drone assembly is provided, which includes a drone 10, a launcher 20 as described in the above embodiment, and a connector 30. The drone 10 is mounted at the mounting area 211 of the frame 210 of the launcher 20, and the launcher 20 is detachably connected to the drone 10 via the connector 30.
[0108] Specifically, the launcher 20 is fixedly mounted on the drone 10, and the drone 10 drives the launcher 20 to fly.
[0109] Furthermore, the frame 210 has a mounting base 212; the connector 30 includes a wrapping tape, which is wrapped around the outer peripheral surface of the drone 10 and connected to the mounting base 212. The thrower 20 is fixed to the drone 10 by the wrapping tape to achieve a stable connection between the drone 10 and the thrower 20, thereby reducing shaking and improving the accuracy of throwing the projectile.
[0110] In this embodiment, the mounting area 211 of the launcher 20 is a mounting slot, and at least a part of the body of the drone 10 is located inside the mounting slot. The drone 10 and the launcher 20 are fixed by the connector 30.
[0111] In another embodiment of this application, a method for launching a drone component is provided, wherein the drone component is the same as the drone component described in the above embodiment.
[0112] Specifically, the methods for throwing drone components include at least:
[0113] Perform the operation of loading the projectile;
[0114] Install the launcher 20 onto the drone 10;
[0115] The projectile is installed inside the clamping cavity, and the mounting structure 220 is in the first state;
[0116] After the projectiles are installed, the flight operation is carried out;
[0117] When the drone 10 flies to the preset position, it will perform a release operation according to the received instructions;
[0118] When the throwing operation is performed, the mounting structure 220 is in the second state, and the projectile is thrown out from the throwing port at the bottom of the frame 210 of the thrower 20;
[0119] When no throwing operation is performed, the mounting structure 220 is in the first state, and the projectile is fixed inside the clamping cavity.
[0120] Furthermore, when the drone 10 flies to the preset position, the drone 10 receives the bombing signal and performs the bombing operation, which can be achieved by using the remote control drive 232 to control the action of the bombing through wireless transmission.
[0121] In this embodiment, when the UAV 10 performs a throwing operation, the drive component 232 of the throwing control component 230 of the thrower 20 drives the swing lock 231 to rotate, the swing lock 231 separates from the locking component 222 of the mounting structure 220, and the thrown object falls from the throwing port formed between the locking component 222 and the frame 210 under the action of gravity to be thrown.
[0122] Furthermore, when performing the throwing operation, it is determined whether the thrown object needs to be activated by the safety activation device 40. If the thrown object needs to be activated by the safety activation device 40, the safety activation device 40 is driven to remove the safety device on the thrown object and the throwing operation is performed.
[0123] It should be noted that, depending on the type of projectile, the method of throwing drone components also includes the step of activating the projectile. When the projectile needs to be activated, before the drone 10 performs the throwing operation, it controls the safety activation device 40 to separate the projectile body from the projectile safety ring to activate the projectile. After the projectile is activated, it is thrown. When the projectile does not need to be activated, there is no need to control the safety activation device 40 to act, and the throwing operation can be performed directly.
[0124] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0125] 1. This application uses a clamping cavity to fix the projectile. In this application, the clamping cavity is arranged around the drone to ensure that the detection area used for ground detection is not obstructed, thus improving safety.
[0126] 2. The clamping cavity of this application can accommodate projectiles of different sizes, thus improving its applicability.
[0127] 3. This application adopts a detachable installation structure and frame, which allows for the replacement of different installation structures according to the characteristics of different items, thus simplifying the structure and reducing the cost of use.
[0128] 4. When launching projectiles that require activation, the projectiles can be activated using the safety activation device 40, which improves the ease of operation.
[0129] Obviously, the embodiments described above are merely some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications without creative effort, and all such variations or modifications should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
