[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicle, abbreviated as "UAV" in English, is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control device, or operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer.

[0003] The UAV joint is used for the docking of the UAV wing and tail. By fixing the UAV joint in a predetermined position, the docking of the UAV wing and tail can be successfully completed.

[0004] Since the UAV joints rarely protrude from the UAV body, the limiting structure of the fixed tooling often hinders the lifting and unloading operation of the UAV after the docking of the UAV wings and tail wing is completed. It is often necessary to disassemble the limiting structure on the fixed tooling to allow the UAV to be successfully lifted and unloaded, resulting in reduced production efficiency, which is not conducive to the entire production cycle. Moreover, the frequent disassembly of the detachable limiting structure relative to the fixed tooling will affect the overall accuracy of the fixed tooling, thereby reducing the accuracy of the positioning of the UAV joints.

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 to Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-slide rail positioning device for a UAV joint, comprising: a fixed base 10 and a joint positioning seat 20.

[0029] A plurality of first slide rails 11 are arranged on the top of the fixed base 10, and a plurality of second slide rails 12 are arranged on opposite sides of the fixed base 10, respectively. The bottom of the joint positioning seat 20 is slidably matched with the first slide rail 11, and side slide plates 21 are arranged on both sides of the joint positioning seat 20, respectively. The side slide plates 21 are slidably matched with the second slide rail 12, and a fixed structure 22 for assembling with the unmanned aerial vehicle joint is also arranged on the joint positioning seat 20, and the joint positioning seat 20 can be moved to a positioning position and an avoidance position along the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12. The joint positioning seat 20 can be moved to a positioning position so as to position the unmanned aerial vehicle joint at a predetermined position, thereby facilitating production assembly, and the joint positioning seat 20 can also be moved to an avoidance position, thereby facilitating the unmanned aerial vehicle joint to avoid the unmanned aerial vehicle after assembly is completed, so as to facilitate the unloading of the unmanned aerial vehicle; the overall structure is simple and highly reliable.

[0030] The guiding direction of the first slide rail 11 is parallel to the guiding direction of the second slide rail 12 . By using the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 to cooperate and guide the joint positioning seat 20 , the joint positioning seat 20 can be stably connected relative to the fixed base 10 without shaking.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, a plurality of first slide rails 11 arranged side by side are provided on the top of the fixed base 10, and the joint positioning seat 20 slides in cooperation with the plurality of first slide rails 11, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the joint positioning seat 20 and the fixed base 10.

[0032] See also Figure 3 to Figure 4 The sliding cooperation mode between the first slide rail 11 and the joint positioning seat 20 and the sliding cooperation mode between the second slide rail 12 and the side slide plate 21 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the first slide rail 11 is a first convex rail, and a plurality of first sliders 23 are provided at the bottom of the joint positioning seat 20, and the first slider 23 is provided with a first slide groove 231 that slides with the first convex rail; and / or, the second slide rail 12 is a second convex rail, and a plurality of second sliders 211 are provided on the side slide plate 21, and the second slider 211 is provided with a second slide groove 212 that slides with the second convex rail.

[0033] See also Figures 3 to 5In some optional embodiments, the first convex rail protrudes toward the top of the joint positioning seat 20, and the first convex rail restricts the joint positioning seat 20 to move only along the guide direction of the first convex rail. Through the cooperation of the second convex rails on both sides of the fixed base 10 and the gravity of the joint positioning seat 20 and the side slide 21, the joint positioning seat 20 can be restricted from shaking up and down or left and right relative to the guide direction of the first convex rail, thereby avoiding the situation that the first convex rail and the first slide 231 may shake up and down or left and right relative to the guide direction of the first convex rail due to the clearance between the first convex rail and the first slide 231. The second convex rail protrudes toward the side of the joint positioning seat 20. Similarly, through the second convex rails on both sides of the fixed base 10, the joint positioning seat 20 and the gravity of the joint positioning seat 20 and the side slide 21 can be restricted, and the joint positioning seat 20 can be restricted from shaking up and down or left and right relative to the guide direction of the second convex rail. Avoid the situation that the second convex rail and the second slide 212 may shake up and down or left and right relative to the guide direction of the second convex rail due to the clearance between the second convex rail and the second slide 212.

[0034] In order to prevent the joint positioning seat 20 from shaking and deviating relative to the positioning position when the drone joint is being assembled, in some optional embodiments, a plurality of travel limit blocks 13 are provided on the fixed base 10. When the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the travel limit blocks 13 cooperate with the joint positioning seat 20 to limit the position, so that the joint positioning seat 20 can be stably restricted and is not easily shaken or deviated relative to the positioning position.

[0035] See also Figure 5 In some optional embodiments, a buffer pad 131 is provided on the travel limit block 13. When the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the travel limit block 13 abuts against the joint positioning seat 20 through the buffer pad 131, thereby avoiding collision between the joint positioning seat 20 and the travel limit block 13. The buffer pad 131 can be an elastic rubber pad, a silicone pad, etc., without limitation.

[0036] In order to prevent the joint positioning seat 20 from shaking and shifting relative to the positioning position when the drone joint is assembled, in some optional embodiments, when the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the fixed base 10 cooperates with the joint positioning seat 20 through a limiting structure.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The specific structure of the limiting structure can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the limiting structure includes a plurality of first limiting holes 24 arranged on the top of the joint positioning seat 20, a plurality of second limiting holes 14 arranged on the fixed base 10, and a plurality of top limiting pins 15. When the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the top limiting pin 15 can be detachably inserted into the first limiting hole 24 and the second limiting hole 14, thereby limiting the position of the joint positioning seat 20 relative to the fixed base 10, so that the joint positioning seat 20 is stably limited in the positioning position and is not easy to move relative to the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12.

[0038] In some optional embodiments, the limiting structure includes a plurality of third limiting holes 25 respectively arranged on opposite sides of the joint positioning seat 20, a plurality of fourth limiting holes 16 arranged on the fixed base 10, and a plurality of side limiting pins 17. When the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the side limiting pins 17 can be detachably inserted into the third limiting holes 25 and the fourth limiting holes 16, thereby limiting the position of the joint positioning seat 20 relative to the fixed base 10, so that the joint positioning seat 20 is stably limited in the positioning position and is not easy to move relative to the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12. In this embodiment, the first limiting hole 24 is located at the bottom of the joint positioning seat 20, and the top limiting pin 15, the first limiting hole 24 and the second limiting hole 14 cooperate to apply a limiting force to the bottom of the joint positioning seat 20, and the side limiting pin 17, the third limiting hole 25 and the fourth limiting hole 16 cooperate to limit the position of the side slide plate 21, and then apply a limiting force to the side of the joint positioning seat 20. By applying a limiting force to the bottom and side of the joint positioning seat 20, the joint positioning seat 20 is stably stressed and has strong stability.

[0039] In this embodiment, a cross beam 26 is formed at the bottom of the joint positioning seat 20, and a limiting plate 261 is provided on the side of the cross beam 26. A first limiting hole 24 is provided on the limiting plate 261. When the joint positioning seat 20 moves to the positioning position, the limiting pin is passed through the first limiting hole 24 and the second limiting hole 14, and the travel limiting block 13 abuts against the side of the cross beam 26 away from the limiting plate 261. The limiting forces applied by the travel limiting block 13 and the limiting pin to the cross beam 26 are respectively located on both sides of the cross beam 26, thereby being able to stably limit the position of the joint positioning seat 20.

[0040] The fixing structure 22 on the joint positioning seat 20 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the fixing mechanism includes a positioning column for positioning with the joint hole of the drone, and the positioning column is detachably connected to the joint positioning seat 20 through a fixing plate, so as to meet the joint positioning requirements of different drone models. In some optional embodiments, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 are both detachably matched with the fixed base 10, and the side slide plate 21 is detachably matched with the joint positioning seat 20, so as to adjust the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 12 of different lengths according to different drone models, and replace different types of joint positioning seats 20 to adapt to different drone models.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first slide rail 11 is detachably connected to the fixed base 10 by multiple bolts, the second slide rail 12 is detachably connected to the fixed base 10 by multiple bolts, and the side slide plate 21 is detachably connected to the joint positioning seat 20 by multiple bolts, but this example is not limited.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
