Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mounting and delivery devices, and in particular to a rapid mounting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), an aerial delivery system and method that can be mounted or bundled. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology and its widespread use in various fields, existing drones have multiple functions such as reconnaissance and transportation. When carrying items on existing drones, the corresponding loading structure installed on the drone is usually used to support and place the load. However, the existing drone mounting devices are very troublesome in limiting and binding items, and disassembling them after binding is also very time-consuming and laborious, making it very inconvenient in actual operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drone rapid mounting device, an aerial delivery system and method that can be hung and bundled, which can quickly bind and unbundle items on the drone mounting device through the provided components, making it more convenient and faster in actual operation.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a rapid mounting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), an aerial delivery system and method that can be mounted and bundled, including a mounting base, a quick-mounting mechanism, an embedding frame, a top shell, a binding component, and a limiting component;

[0005] The quick-installation mechanism is installed on one side of the mounting base. The embedding bracket is fixedly connected to the mounting base and located on one side of the mounting base. The top shell is fixedly connected to the mounting base and located on one side of the mounting base. The binding member is connected to the top shell. The limiting member is connected to the mounting base.

[0006] The binding member includes a binding strap and a locking ring. The binding strap is connected to the top shell and is located on one side of the top shell. The locking ring is connected to the binding strap and is installed on one side of the top shell.

[0007] The limiting component includes a fixed frame, a clamping platform, a locking component, a toggle component, and a driving component. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the mounting base and is located on one side of the mounting base; the clamping platform is fixedly connected to the fixed frame and is located on one side of the fixed frame; the locking component is connected to the clamping platform; the toggle component is connected to the fixed frame; and the driving component is connected to the fixed frame.

[0008] The locking component includes a rotating shaft and a limiting block. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the clamping table and is located on one side of the clamping table. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and is located on the side of the rotating shaft near the locking ring.

[0009] The actuating component includes an actuating plate and a hook-shaped platform. The actuating plate is slidably connected to the fixed frame and is located on the side of the fixed frame near the limiting block. The hook-shaped platform is fixedly connected to the actuating plate and is located on one side of the actuating plate.

[0010] The driving component includes a swing block and a drive motor. The swing block is rotatably connected to the fixed frame and is located on the side of the fixed frame near the hook-shaped platform. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the swing block, and the drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame.

[0011] This invention discloses a rapid mounting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), an aerial delivery system that can be attached and bundled, and a method for such attachment. The rapid mounting mechanism, in conjunction with the embedding frame, mounts the mounting base onto the top of the UAV. Then, the binding straps on both sides of the top shell secure the object placed on it. To limit the binding straps, the user simply inserts a locking ring into the insertion slot of the top shell. The locking ring then rotates the limiting block. When the limiting block rotates due to compression, it self-locks the locking ring in the insertion slot. Finally, the sliding of the actuating plate further engages the locked limiting block. The system uses limit switches to ensure the secure binding of objects. When it is necessary to unbind or remove the bound items, the user can manually slide the corresponding actuating plate to release the limit switch. Then, the locking ring can be pulled to rotate the limit switch and remove the locking ring. Alternatively, the swing block can be driven by the drive motor to press the hook-shaped platform and the actuating plate on the corresponding side to move, thus actuating the designated actuating plate. This allows for the rapid binding and unbinding of items on the drone's mounting device using the provided components, making it more convenient and faster in actual operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] The first embodiment of this application is:

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a rapid mounting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), an aerial delivery system that can be attached or bundled, and a method for rapid deployment. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the removed locking ring 106. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the limiting component. Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the mounted state.

[0022] This invention provides a rapid mounting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and an aerial delivery system that can be mounted and bundled. The system includes a mounting base 101, a quick-mount mechanism 102, an embedding frame 103, a top shell 104, binding components, and limiting components. The binding components include binding straps 105 and locking rings 106. The limiting components include a fixing frame 107, a clamping platform 108, a locking component, a toggle component, and a driving component. The locking component includes a rotating shaft 109 and a limiting block 110. The toggle component includes a toggle plate 111 and a hook-shaped platform 112. The driving component includes a swing block 113 and a drive motor 114. This solution addresses the problem that with the rapid development of UAV technology and its widespread use in various fields, existing UAVs, which have multiple functions such as reconnaissance and transportation, typically support and place items using corresponding loading structures installed on the UAV. However, existing UAV mounting devices are cumbersome in limiting and binding items, and disassembling them after binding is also time-consuming and laborious, making actual operation very inconvenient.

[0023] In this embodiment, the quick-installation mechanism 102 is installed on one side of the mounting base 101. The embedding frame 103 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 101 and located on one side of the mounting base 101. The top shell 104 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 101 and located on one side of the mounting base 101. The binding member is connected to the top shell 104. The limiting member is connected to the mounting base 101. The mounting base 101 is installed on the upper side of the corresponding drone through the quick-installation mechanism 102. The quick-installation mechanism 102 mainly uses internal springs and corresponding mechanisms to ensure that the buckle platforms on both sides can cooperate with the grooves on both sides of the drone, thereby completing the installation of the mounting base 101. The embedding frame 103 is fixed on the side of the mounting base 101. The embedding frame 103 matches the top mounting groove of the drone. The top shell 104 is fixed to the mounting base 101 with bolts to protect the corresponding electronic transmission plate installed on the top of the mounting base 101.

[0024] The binding strap 105 is connected to the top shell 104 and located on one side of the top shell 104; the locking ring 106 is connected to the binding strap 105 and installed on one side of the top shell 104. Two sets of binding straps 105 and locking rings 106 are provided on binding protrusions on both sides of the top shell 104. The locking rings 106 on the binding straps 105 match the insertion grooves on the surface of the top shell 104. At the same time, users can also directly use nylon straps to bind projectiles to the aircraft through the binding protrusions on both sides of the top shell 104, and it is also compatible with attaching projectiles to the aircraft.

[0025] The fixing frame 107 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 101 and located on one side of the mounting base 101; the clamping platform 108 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 107 and located on one side of the fixing frame 107; the locking component is connected to the clamping platform 108; the actuating component is connected to the fixing frame 107; the driving component is connected to the fixing frame 107; the rotating shaft 109 is rotatably connected to the clamping platform 108 and located on one side of the clamping platform 108; the limiting block 110 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 109 and located near the rotating shaft 109. On one side of the locking ring 106, a fixing frame 107 is provided above the mounting base 101. The clamping platforms 108 provided on both sides of the fixing frame 107 are rotatably mounted with the limiting block 110 via the rotating shaft 109. The limiting block 110 body is provided with a corresponding limiting and abutting protrusion. The limiting block 110 is generally "T" shaped. When the locking ring 106 is engaged with the insertion groove of the top shell 104, the limiting block 110 will rotate under the compression of the locking ring 106, so that the locking ring 106 can be limited by the rotation of the top protrusion of the limiting block 110.

[0026] The actuating plate 111 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 107 and is located on the side of the fixed frame 107 near the limiting block 110. The hook-shaped platform 112 is fixedly connected to the actuating plate 111 and is located on one side of the actuating plate 111. The actuating plate 111 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 107 and is located on the side of the fixed frame 107 near the limiting block 110. The hook-shaped platform 112 is fixedly connected to the actuating plate 111 and is located on one side of the actuating plate 111. The two actuating plates 111 are slidably installed on both sides of the fixed frame 107. The hook-shaped platforms 112 corresponding to the two actuating plates 111 are located on both sides of the swing block 113. The output shaft of the drive motor 114 is fixed to the swing plate. Thus, when the locking ring 106 is inserted into the insertion slot of the top shell 104 and drives the limiting block 110 to rotate, the user can move the corresponding actuating plate 111. The sliding mechanism 1 engages with the bottom of the side protrusion of the limiting block 110, preventing the limiting block 110 from rotating normally due to the limitation of the actuating plate 111. This ensures the stability of the locking ring 106 installation. When the locking ring 106 needs to be lifted and disassembled, the user only needs to slide the corresponding actuating plate 111 towards the corresponding side, causing the actuating plate 111 to be pulled away from the bottom of the corresponding limiting block 110. The limiting block 110 can then rotate normally, thus completing the quick disassembly of the locking ring 106. At the same time, the hook-shaped platform 112 provided on the actuating plate 111, in conjunction with the swing block 113, can also directly drive the swing block 113 to swing left and right through the drive motor 114. Then, the swing of the swing block 113 drives the hook-shaped platform 112 and the actuating plate 111 on the corresponding side to move, realizing the automatic actuation of the actuating plate 111.

[0027] In this embodiment, the drone quick-mount device and aerial delivery system, which can be hung and bundled, are used by mounting the mounting base 101 on the top of the drone through the quick-mount mechanism 102 and the embedding frame 103. Then, the objects placed on the top shell 104 are bound and fixed by the binding straps 105 on both sides of the top shell 104. When limiting the binding straps 105, the user only needs to insert the locking ring 106 into the insertion slot of the top shell 104, and then the locking ring 106 will drive the drone to move the drone. The limiting block 110 rotates, and when it rotates due to compression, it can self-lock the locking ring 106 inserted in the slot. Then, the sliding of the actuating plate 111 limits the locking block 110 in the locked state, thereby ensuring the binding and fixation of the object. No power is required when hanging the item. When it is necessary to unbind or remove the bound item, the user can directly manually slide the corresponding actuating plate 111 to release the limiting block 110. The lock ring 106 can be pulled to rotate the limiting block 110, thus removing the lock ring 106. Alternatively, the swing block 113 can be driven by the drive motor 114 to press the hook-shaped platform 112 and the actuating plate 111 on the corresponding side, allowing the actuating plate 111 to be moved. This enables the release of items via both manual and electric methods. Users can also directly bind or attach nylon straps or other buckle structures to the limiting blocks 110 on both sides, securing the thrown item with the nylon straps or buckles on the limiting blocks 110. Velcro can also be used for binding. When aerial throwing is required, the actuating plate 111 on the corresponding side can be driven by the motor to cooperate with the limiting block 110 on the corresponding side to complete the throwing. This allows for quick binding, unbinding, and throwing of items on the drone's mounting device using the provided components, making actual operation more convenient and efficient.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 The rapid mounting device and aerial delivery method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), employing the aforementioned rapid mounting device and aerial delivery system, includes the following steps:

[0029] S1: Install the mounting base 101 on the top of the drone using the quick-installation mechanism 102, and then use the binding straps 105 and locking rings 106 to bind and fix the materials placed on the top shell 104.

[0030] S2: When the locking ring 106 presses against the limiting block 110 installed on the top shell 104 to self-lock, the limiting block 110 in the locked state is limited by moving the toggle plate 111 to ensure the stability of the installation of the locking ring 106 and the binding strap 105.

[0031] S3: When it is necessary to remove the bound item from the top shell 104, the limit block 110 can be released by manually moving the actuating plate 111. Then, the locking ring 106 can be pulled to rotate the limit block 110, so that the locking ring 106 can be pulled off directly. Alternatively, the swing block 113 can be rotated by the drive motor 114, and then the swing block 113 can press the hook-shaped platform 112 and the actuating plate 111 on the corresponding side to slide, so that the sliding contact of the actuating plate 111 on the corresponding side with the limit block 110 can be completed, thereby completing the quick removal of the locking ring 106. This achieves loading and binding without power, and allows for both manual and electric release. Only one motor is needed to drive the left loading and locking system and the right loading and locking system, which are independent and do not trigger each other. When the motor rotates to the left, the steering arm drives the right release, and when the motor rotates to the right, the lock ring 106 can be released. The rudder arm drives the left sliding switch to release the left throwing hook, achieving one motor and two triggers.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
