DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a large-load multi-rotor drone includes a fuselage 1, which is rectangular. Antennas 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the fuselage 1, and the bottom of the antenna 2 extends downward into the fuselage 1. The four sides of the fuselage 1 are rounded. The fuselage 1 is made of carbon fiber and is integrally formed by a mold, which is light in weight and high in structural strength.

[0022] The four corners of the fuselage 1 are all detachably mounted with arms 7 through nuts 6. The four corners of the side of the fuselage 1 are all fixedly connected with connecting pipes 5, and the nuts 6 are rotatably sleeved on one end of the connecting pipes 5.

[0023] The top and bottom of the other end of the machine arm 7 are both rotatably provided with blades 8. One end of the machine arm 7 away from the blades 8 is provided with a thread adapted to the nut 6. The nut 6 can be rotated on the machine arm 7.

[0024] A rhombus block 19 is fixedly connected inside the connecting pipe 5. The rhombus block 19 is a prism. The cross-sectional area of ​​one end of the rhombus block 19 close to the nut 6 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the other end. The cross-sectional shapes of the two ends of the rhombus block 19 are both rhombuses.

[0025] A connecting column 17 is fixedly connected to the inner part of one end of the machine arm 7 near the nut 6, and a diamond groove 18 is formed at one end of the connecting column 17 extending outside the machine arm 7. Through grooves are formed at the four corners of the diamond groove 18, and the through grooves extend to the outer surface of the connecting column 17, so that one end of the connecting column 17 is evenly divided into four petals.

[0026] The connecting column 17 is made of rubber material, and the diamond block 19 is movably arranged inside the diamond groove 18. When the diamond block 19 is inserted into the diamond groove 18, the end of the connecting column 17 provided with the diamond groove 18 will be opened.

[0027] One end of the machine arm 7 is fixedly connected to a mounting block 20, and two vertically symmetrical drive motors are fixedly connected inside the mounting block 20. The output shaft of the drive motor rotates through the mounting block 20, and the blade 8 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0028] A driving assembly is provided at the bottom of the fuselage 1, and the driving assembly drives a loading plate 12 located below the fuselage 1 to move. A plurality of hanging holes 13 are provided on the loading plate 12. The hanging holes 13 are used to hang goods.

[0029] The driving assembly includes a motor 14, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fuselage 1, and the motor 14 is located between the fuselage 1 and the loading plate 12. A crossbar 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 14, and a pull rod 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 15 away from the motor 14. The pull rod 16 is perpendicular to the crossbar 15, and the other end of the pull rod 16 slides through the loading plate 12.

[0030] Both ends of the bottom surface of the fuselage 1 are fixedly connected with support legs 3, and the loading plate 12 is located between the two support legs 3. Both ends of the support legs 3 away from the fuselage 1 are provided with pressure sensors.

[0031] The support leg 3 is in an inverted U shape, the top surface of the middle part of the support leg 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fuselage 1, both ends of the support leg 3 are inclined, and both ends of the support leg 3 are fixedly provided with a cushion 4.

[0032] A control circuit and a battery are provided inside the body 1. The battery energizes the motor 14, the drive motor, and the pressure sensor, and the motor 14, the drive motor, and the pressure sensor are all connected to the control circuit. The control circuit can control the motor 14 according to the pressure value change of the pressure sensor. The control circuit is a prior art.

[0033] The four corners of the top surface of the loading plate 12 are fixedly connected with the second joint seats 11. The bottom surface of the middle part of the supporting leg 3 is fixedly connected with two first joint seats 9. The first joint seats 9 and the second joint seats 11 correspond one to one, and both of the first joint seats 9 and the second joint seats 11 are barrel-shaped.

[0034] A connecting rod 10 is arranged between the first joint seat 9 and the corresponding second joint seat 11 . Both ends of the connecting rod 10 are spherical. One end of the connecting rod 10 is rollingly arranged in the first joint seat 9 , and the other end of the connecting rod 10 is rollingly arranged in the corresponding second joint seat 11 .

[0035] Working principle: When in use, move the machine arm 7 to move the end of the connecting column 17 divided into four petals into the inside of the nut 6. Continue to push the connecting column 17 into the inside of the nut 6 to push the diamond groove 18 into the diamond block 19, and the diamond block 19 will push the connecting column 17 at the diamond groove 18 to be opened.

[0036] When the thread at the arm 7 contacts the nut 6, the nut 6 is rotated to rotate one end of the nut 6 on the connecting tube 5. The nut 6 rotates on the thread at the end of the arm 7, thereby pushing the arm 7 to move toward the inside of the connecting tube 5, so that the connecting column 17 is fully inserted into the connecting tube 5.

[0037] Since the diamond block 19 is a prism, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the end of the diamond block 19 close to the nut 6 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the other end, when the diamond block 19 is pushed, the connecting column 17 is in close contact with the inner wall of the connecting tube 5, thereby strengthening the connection strength between the machine arm 7 and the fuselage 1. This helps to increase the load of the drone. At the same time, the diamond block 19 cooperates with the diamond groove 18 to avoid the installation angle of the machine arm 7 from being tilted, thereby ensuring the angle of the blade 8, so that the drone can fly normally.

[0038] When the fuselage 1 is unloaded, the drone is placed on the ground, and the four cushions 4 are in contact with the ground, exerting the same pressure on the ground, so the pressure values ​​of the four pressure sensors are the same.

[0039] When the cargo is hung on the loading plate 12 through the hanging hole 13, if the center of gravity of the drone is shifted, the pressure values ​​of the four pressure sensors will be different. The control circuit starts the motor 14 to drive the crossbar 15 and the pull rod 16 to rotate.

[0040] The bottom end of the pull rod 16 pushes the loading plate 12, so that the loading plate 12 and the second joint seat 11 move, and the spherical end at the bottom of the connecting rod 10 rolls in the second joint seat 11, while the spherical end at the top of the connecting rod 10 rolls in the first joint seat 9, so that the loading plate 12 moves slowly under the fuselage 1.

[0041] The loading plate 12 is moved toward the pressure sensor with the smallest pressure value until the pressure values ​​of the four pressure sensors are the same. At this time, the drone reaches a balanced state and the motor 14 stops rotating.

[0042] The control circuit starts the drive motor to rotate the blade 8.

[0043] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
