[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0037] The present invention provides a bomb hanging device for a drone, comprising:

[0038] The remote-controlled AGV vehicle is provided with a Z-axis lifting platform, an X-axis moving platform is provided on the moving end of the Z-axis lifting platform, and a Y-axis moving platform is provided on the moving end of the X-axis moving platform;

[0039] At least two pitch adjustment platforms are respectively connected to the moving ends of the Y-direction moving platform, and all the pitch adjustment platforms are arranged along the X-direction;

[0040] A plurality of ball clamping rings are respectively arranged on the moving ends of the pitch adjustment platform, and the ball clamping rings are used to fit with the outer surface of the missile;

[0041] The bomb hanging push rod is arranged on the moving end of the pitch adjustment platform. The bomb hanging push rod is located at one end of the X-direction moving platform. The bomb hanging push rod is used to fit with the head of the missile.

[0042] Specifically, the bomb hanging device installs a Z-axis lifting platform, an X-axis moving platform and a Y-axis moving platform on a remote-controlled AGV trolley, and sets multiple pitch adjustment platforms on the Y-axis moving platform. The pitch adjustment platform drives the ball clamping ring to perform lifting and lowering adjustment, so as to realize the free adjustment of the missile's spatial position. After the missile moves to the installation position, the bomb hanging push rod applies thrust to the head of the missile, so that the missile can be pushed into the bomb hanging slot; in addition, the opening size of the ball clamping ring can be adjusted at will, so as to meet the placement of missiles of different sizes.

[0043] For the missile hanging device, the Z-axis lifting platform realizes the adjustment of the missile in height, the X-axis moving platform realizes the adjustment of the missile along the length direction of the remote-controlled AGV trolley, and the Y-axis moving platform realizes the adjustment of the missile along the width direction of the remote-controlled AGV trolley.

[0044] Optionally, the ball clamping ring is of open design, and the ball clamping ring is composed of two clamping brackets spliced ​​together. The two clamping brackets can move along the Y direction, and a positioning pin is provided between the clamping bracket and the moving end of the pitch adjustment platform.

[0045] Specifically, the ball clamping ring is composed of two clamping supports, each of which is arc-shaped. When placed to support missiles of different sizes, the two clamping supports can be separated from each other or adjusted closer to each other so that the clamping supports fit the arc of the outer surface of the missile. When the position of the clamping supports is adjusted, the clamping supports are fixed to the moving end of the pitch adjustment platform by locating pins to prevent the missile's own weight from continuously exerting gravity on the clamping supports, causing the two clamping supports to move away from each other, resulting in the missile being unstable.

[0046] Optionally, a plurality of balls are arranged on the contact surface between the clamping support and the missile.

[0047] Specifically, a plurality of balls are arranged on the surface of the clamping support, and the balls are driven to rotate by a servo motor, so that the missile can be rotated on the ball clamping ring, which facilitates the mobile installation of the missile.

[0048] Optionally, a servo electric cylinder is provided on the Y-direction movable platform connected to the bomb hanging push rod, and the bomb hanging push rod can move independently in the X-direction relative to the ball clamping ring.

[0049] Specifically, when the missile is aligned with the ammunition hanging slot, the ammunition hanging push rod can be driven to move in the X direction by the servo electric cylinder alone, while the position of the ball clamping ring remains unchanged, always supporting the bottom of the missile, and the ammunition hanging push rod moves toward the ball clamping ring, thereby pushing the missile into the ammunition hanging slot. In this process, the ammunition hanging push rod is the force-applying part, and the ball clamping ring restricts the missile's movement guidance.

[0050] Optionally, the pitch adjustment platform is a screw elevator, the number of Y-axis moving platforms is the same as the total number of ball clamping rings and bomb hanging push rods, the Y-axis moving platform includes a Y-axis slide rail and a Y-axis slider that are relatively slidably arranged, the Y-axis slide rail is connected to the moving end of the X-axis moving platform, and the Y-axis slider is connected to the pitch adjustment platform.

[0051] Optionally, the X-direction moving platform includes an X-direction slide rail and a plurality of X-direction sliders that are relatively slidably arranged, the X-direction sliders are connected to the pitch adjustment platform one-to-one, and each X-direction slider can move independently on the X-direction slide rail.

[0052] Optionally, a plurality of Z-axis lifting platforms are evenly distributed on the remote-controlled AGV trolley, and the moving ends of all Z-axis lifting platforms are connected to an X-axis slide rail.

[0053] Specifically, since the loading device is provided with a plurality of ball clamping rings and a bomb hanging push rod, it is necessary to slide and connect a plurality of Y-direction moving platforms on the X-direction moving platform, and a Y-direction moving platform is provided on each X-direction slider, and the Y-direction moving platforms are respectively connected with ball clamping rings and bomb hanging push rods to support the missile and drive the missile to move to the bomb hanging slot.

[0054] Optionally, a plurality of guide rods are arranged between the remote-controlled AGV trolley and the X-axis slide rail.

[0055] Specifically, when the X-axis slide rail drives the missile to move up and down, the guide rod plays a guiding role to ensure the vertical lifting and smooth operation of the missile, and avoid the deviation of the ball clamping rings above, which may cause the missile to fall off.

[0056] Optionally, the X-axis moving platform and the Y-axis moving platform are provided with adjusting hand wheels.

[0057] Specifically, a Y-axis moving platform is set on each X-axis slider, so that each ball clamping ring and missile hanging push rod can be adjusted individually in the X-axis, which can adapt to the support of different missile lengths and can also fine-tune the position of the missile through the hand wheel.

[0058] The present invention also provides a method for hanging bombs on a drone, using the above-mentioned bomb hanging device for a drone, the method comprising:

[0059] Adjust the pitch adjustment platform to ensure that the ball clamping ring and the bomb hanging push rod are on the same axis;

[0060] The missile is supported by a ball clamping ring, and the head of the missile fits in with the missile hanging push rod;

[0061] Move the remote-controlled AGV to the bomb hanging position, and adjust the X-axis moving platform, Y-axis moving platform, Z-axis lifting platform and pitch adjustment platform;

[0062] Move the missile launcher push rod individually to push the missile into the missile launch slot.
