Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a vertical forced landing protection device for UAVs. Background Art
[0002] As a modern flying device that integrates aviation technology, remote control technology, communication technology, sensor technology and intelligent control technology, UAV has been widely used in both civil and military fields in recent years. With its advantages of strong flexibility, simple operation and low cost, UAV has demonstrated great potential and value in many aspects such as aerial photography, surveying and mapping, environmental monitoring, agricultural plant protection, logistics and transportation, and military reconnaissance. However, drones may encounter various emergencies during flight, which may cause them to be unable to fly normally and require emergency landing measures. These emergencies include but are not limited to power system failure, flight control system failure, severe weather conditions, electromagnetic interference, battery exhaustion, and encountering obstacles. In these cases, the safe landing of drones becomes an urgent problem to be solved; In particular, in the event of a power system failure, one or more of the drone's propellers may stop rotating, causing the drone to lose balance and its ability to fly stably. At this point, if effective forced landing measures are not taken in a timely manner, the drone is likely to crash due to loss of control, causing serious economic losses or even casualties. During a vertical landing, if one of the drone's propeller blades loses power, the lift generated by the remaining blades will no longer be evenly distributed, causing the drone to tilt during descent. This not only increases the difficulty of the forced landing but may also damage the drone due to excessive impact force during landing. Furthermore, even in emergency landing mode, the drone's flight control system can attempt to maintain balance by adjusting the rotational speed of the remaining blades. However, the lack of real-time blade angle of attack adjustment capability makes it difficult to accurately compensate for flight attitude deviations caused by power imbalance, thus limiting the success rate of the forced landing and the drone's survivability. In addition, even if the drone can barely make a vertical landing, due to the lack of necessary buffering and protection mechanisms, factors such as uneven ground may cause the drone to suffer severe impact during landing, which may cause serious damage to the drone structure or even complete scrapping. This will not only cause economic losses, but may also affect the execution capability of subsequent tasks and the continuity of data collection. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the number of teeth on the second rack is greater than one-fourth the number of teeth on the outer wall of the fourth gear.
[0011] The invention proposes a UAV vertical forced landing protection device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can support the drone through the lifting rod. By starting the motor, the third gear can be driven to rotate through the first connecting rod. The rotation of the third gear can drive the first rotating rod to rotate through the first gear. The rotation of the first rotating rod can drive the mounting base to rotate. The cooperation between the first slide groove and the first slider can drive the push rod to rotate synchronously with the first rotating rod. The rotation of the mounting base can drive the blades to rotate with the mounting base through the rotating rod, so that the rotating blades can be used to drive the drone to fly.
[0012] 2. The present invention drives the signal disk to rotate by the first rotating rod, and then uses the Hall-type speed sensor to monitor the signal disk, thereby monitoring the rotation speed and rotation state of the blades. When one group of blades stops rotating due to a fault or other reasons, the corresponding Hall-type speed sensor transmits a signal to the main controller of the drone, so that the main controller of the drone adjusts the rotation speed of the remaining intact blades and starts the first electric telescopic rod to push the push rod upward. The upward movement of the push rod can drive the first rack to move upward through the support plate. The upward movement of the first rack can prompt the second gear to drive the blades to rotate through the rotating rod, thereby adjusting the angle of attack of the blades, and then changing the direction of the lift generated when the blades cut the air. Additional lift can be generated to offset the lift lost by the failed blades, thereby maintaining the vertical stability of the drone.
[0013] 3. When the present invention is landing, the second electric telescopic rod can be started to push the second rack to move outward, and then the second rack can be used to prompt the fourth gear to drive the first connecting rod to rotate through the second rotating rod. The rotation of the first connecting rod can drive the second connecting rod to rotate. At the same time, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod rotate, and the second connecting rod can be prompted to slide toward the inner cavity of the first connecting rod and squeeze the spring to elastically deform until the first connecting rod rotates 45 degrees. Continuing to rotate will prompt the second connecting rod to gradually move out of the inner cavity of the first connecting rod and prompt the spring to gradually return to its initial state until the first connecting rod rotates 45 degrees again. At this time, the spring returns to its initial state. During the rotation of the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod, the windshield cloth will be gradually stretched open, and then the windshield cloth can be used to reduce the landing speed of the drone, and the protruding second connecting rod can be used to shield the drone to prevent the drone from contacting the ground and causing damage to the drone when it tilts.
[0014] 4. This device can respond quickly when the blade power fails, effectively maintaining the balance of the drone and avoiding tilting during the forced landing, significantly improving the success rate of the forced landing. In addition, the integrated protection mechanism can not only slow down the descent speed, but also provide additional support and protection after landing, effectively resisting the impact caused by uneven ground, ensuring the integrity of the drone structure, reducing economic losses, and ensuring the subsequent mission execution capability and the continuity of data collection, greatly enhancing the safety and reliability of the drone in vertical forced landing situations.

[0021] The detailed connection means are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process. The specific work is as follows.
[0022] This device can support the drone 1 by using the lifting rod 3, and the starting motor 414 drives the third gear 416 to rotate through the first connecting rod 415. The rotation of the third gear 416 can drive the first rotating rod 41 to rotate through the first gear 43, and the rotation of the first rotating rod 41 can drive the mounting base 410 to rotate, and the cooperation between the first slide groove 42 and the first slider 44 can drive the push rod 45 to rotate synchronously with the first rotating rod 41. The rotation of the mounting base 410 can drive the blade 413 to rotate along with the mounting base 410 through the rotating rod 411, so that the rotating blade 413 can be used to drive the drone to fly. In the process of the drone 1 flying, the rotation of the first rotating rod 41 can drive the signal disk 417 to rotate. The rotation speed and rotation state of the signal disk 417 can be monitored by the Hall-type speed sensor 418, thereby monitoring the rotation speed and rotation state of the blades 413. When one group of blades 413 stops rotating due to a fault or other reasons, the first rotating rod 41 corresponding to its position stops rotating, and the corresponding Hall-type speed sensor 418 transmits a signal to the main controller of the drone 1, thereby adjusting the rotation speed of the remaining intact blades 413 by the main controller of the drone 1, and starting the first electric telescopic rod 47 to push the push rod 45 upward. The upward movement of the push rod 45 can drive the first rack 49 to move upward through the support plate 48, and the upward movement of the first rack 49 can prompt the second gear 412 to move through the rotating rod 411 The blades 413 are driven to rotate, so that the angle of attack of the blades 413 can be adjusted, and the direction of the lift generated when the blades 413 cut the air can be changed, and additional lift can be generated to offset the lift lost by the failed blades 413, thereby maintaining the vertical landing stability of the drone 1. At the same time, during vertical landing, the second electric telescopic rod 512 can be started to push the second rack 511 to move outward, and then the second rack 511 can be used to prompt the fourth gear 56 to drive the first connecting rod 52 to rotate through the second rotating rod 51. The rotation of the first connecting rod 52 can drive the second connecting rod 55 to rotate. When the first connecting rod 52 and the second connecting rod 55 rotate, the second connecting rod 55 can be prompted to slide toward the inner cavity of the first connecting rod 52 and squeeze the spring to generate The windshield 513 is gradually stretched open during the rotation of the second link 55 and the first link 52, and the landing speed of the drone can be reduced by the windshield 513 until the first link 52 rotates 45 degrees. Continuing to rotate will cause the second link 55 to gradually move out of the inner cavity of the first link 52, and cause the spring 54 to gradually return to its initial state until the first link 52 rotates 45 degrees again. At this time, the spring 54 returns to its initial state, and the protruding second link 55 can be used to shield the drone 1 to prevent the drone 1 from tilting when landing on uneven ground, causing the drone 1 to contact the ground and causing damage to the drone 1. This device can respond quickly when the power of the blade 413 fails, and effectively maintain the balance of the drone 1.This prevents tilting during forced landing, significantly improving the success rate of forced landings. Furthermore, the integrated protection mechanism 5 not only slows down the descent speed but also provides additional support and protection after landing, effectively resisting the impact of uneven ground. This ensures the structural integrity of the drone 1, reduces economic losses, and ensures the ability to execute subsequent missions and the continuity of data collection, significantly enhancing the safety and reliability of the drone 1 in vertical forced landing situations.
