[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0020] In order to solve the technical problem that the UAV landing gear cannot provide the necessary stability in complex terrain, which causes the UAV to easily overturn or be damaged during take-off and landing, thus affecting the use effect and safety, the present invention provides a multi-point contact adjustable UAV landing gear. The UAV landing gear design can provide the necessary stability in complex terrain, effectively prevent overturning or damage during take-off and landing, thereby improving the use efficiency and safety.
[0021] See also Figures 1 to 4The adjustable multi-point contact UAV landing gear includes: a plurality of support legs 1, an adjustment unit 2 and a plurality of grounding frames 3, wherein the plurality of support legs 1 are used to be hinged at the bottom of the UAV shell, and can rotate around the UAV shell to adjust the contact angle with the ground; the adjustment unit 2 is connected to the plurality of support legs 1, and is used to drive the support legs 1 to rotate; the plurality of grounding frames 3 are respectively arranged at the bottom ends of the plurality of support legs 1 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each grounding frame 3 is equipped with a plurality of adjustable contact portions, each of which is elastically connected to the bottom of the support leg, and can be adjusted according to the actual landing surface conditions to adapt to various irregular landing surfaces.
[0022] In this solution, a plurality of support legs 1 are designed. The support legs 1 are used to be hinged at the bottom of the drone shell and can be flexibly rotated around the drone shell to adjust the contact angle with the ground to adapt to different landing environments. In order to adjust the support legs 1, an adjustment unit 2 is also provided. The adjustment unit 2 is connected to the plurality of support legs 1 and is used to drive the support legs 1 to rotate accurately, so that the drone can land stably on various complex terrains. In order to further improve the adaptability of the drone, a grounding frame 3 is provided at the bottom end of each support leg 1. Each grounding frame 3 is equipped with a plurality of adjustable contact parts. These contact parts are distributed around the bottom of the support leg 1 and can be finely adjusted according to the actual landing surface conditions, so that the drone can adapt to various irregular landing surfaces, whether it is on rugged mountains, soft sand or slippery mud, it can achieve a smooth landing.
[0023] Please note that Figure 2 In this solution, multiple support legs 1 are arranged in a circular array under the drone. The layout of the circular array allows the drone to have better balance during takeoff and landing. The independent rotation ability of each support leg 1 allows the drone to make fine adjustments on uneven terrain to keep the fuselage level. In addition, the circular layout of the support legs 1 also reduces the reliance on a single support point, thereby reducing the risk of tilting due to uneven ground settlement.
[0024] See also Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, each of the supporting legs 1 includes a plurality of telescopic sections 11 and a plurality of shock absorbers 12, the plurality of telescopic sections 11 are connected in sequence, and the plurality of shock absorbers 12 are respectively arranged between two adjacent telescopic sections 11. During the actual landing process, when the landing gear contacts the ground, the impact force is transmitted to the shock absorber 12 through the telescopic section 11, and is absorbed and dispersed by the shock absorber 12, so as to improve the stability and durability of the entire landing gear system.
[0025] See also Figure 5In one specific embodiment, the plurality of telescopic sections 11 of the support leg 1 are respectively composed of a mounting rod 111, a first movable rod 112 and a second movable rod 113. Specifically, one end of the mounting rod 111 is connected to the drone housing by rotation, and the other end is designed with a first buffer groove 114, and one end of the first movable rod 112 is connected to the first buffer groove 114 of the mounting rod 111 by sliding, so that the first movable rod 112 can perform corresponding telescopic movement along the mounting rod 111. In addition, the other end of the first movable rod 112 is also designed with a second buffer groove 115, and one end of the second movable rod 113 is connected to the second buffer groove 115 of the first movable rod 112 by sliding, so that the second movable rod 113 can perform corresponding telescopic movement on the first movable rod 112. The mounting rod 111, the first movable rod 112 and the second movable rod 113 can cooperate with the shock absorber 12, and the shock absorber 12 effectively absorbs and disperses the impact force generated during the landing process, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the support leg 1 during the telescopic process.
[0026] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting rod 111, the first movable rod 112 and the second movable rod 113 are all designed as arc structures. The arc design allows the support leg 1 to absorb impact forces in more directions by telescopic deformation during landing, thereby reducing the impact on the main structure of the drone.
[0027] See also Figure 6 In one specific embodiment, the vibration damping member 12 includes a first spring 121 and a damping telescopic rod 122. The first spring 121 and the damping telescopic rod 122 complement each other in function and work together to achieve a vibration reduction effect. Specifically, both ends of the first spring 121 and the damping telescopic rod 122 are respectively connected to the two ends of the two adjacent telescopic sections 11. The main function of the first spring 121 is to store energy and provide a restoring force. It can be compressed and deformed under the impact force generated during landing. After the external force is removed, the first spring 121 can quickly return to its original shape, thereby achieving a rapid recovery action. The damping telescopic rod 122 absorbs and dissipates energy through its internal damping mechanism. It can effectively control the release speed of the first spring 121 and prevent secondary impact caused by the rapid release of the spring, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the entire vibration reduction process. Through this design, the vibration damping member 12 can more accurately control the impact force during landing and reduce damage to equipment or structures.
[0028] Specifically, each supporting leg 1 is provided with two shock absorbing members 12, wherein one set of first springs 121 and damping telescopic rods 122 are respectively connected to the mounting rod 111 and the first movable rod 112, and another set of first springs 121 and damping telescopic rods 122 are respectively connected to the first movable rod 112 and the second movable rod 113.
[0029] It should be noted that the damping telescopic rod 122 is a telescopic rod that achieves damping effect through hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure. The hydraulic telescopic rod uses hydraulic oil as the damping medium and achieves the damping effect by adjusting the flow of the hydraulic oil. The pneumatic telescopic rod uses compressed air as the damping medium and relies on the compression and expansion of the gas to produce the damping effect.
[0030] See also Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the adjustment unit 2 includes a plurality of driving members respectively connected to the support legs 1, and the number of the driving members is exactly the same as the number of the support legs 1 to ensure that each support leg 1 can be independently and accurately controlled. Each of the driving members includes a connecting frame 21, a slide plate 22, a screw 23 and a driving motor 24.
[0031] The connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the supporting leg 1 and is disposed on the inner side of the supporting leg 1 . By controlling the position of the connecting frame 21 , the angle of the supporting leg 1 can be adjusted. The slide plate 22 is movably arranged on the connecting frame 21, and its mobility allows the slide plate 22 to perform necessary sliding and rotation adjustments. Specifically, its connection method is: a sliding groove is provided in the middle of the connecting frame 21, and the groove walls on both sides of the sliding groove are provided with limiting slides extending along the length direction of the sliding groove. The slide plate 22 is arranged in the sliding groove, and the limiting slides provide precise guidance and limitation for the movement of the slide plate 22 to prevent the slide plate 22 from offsetting or derailing during movement, and there is a limiting slider on each side of the slide plate 22, and the limiting slider can slide and rotate in the limiting slide. When the support leg 1 is adjusted to rotate downward, the connecting frame 21 needs to be driven to rotate upward by the screw rod 23. At this time, the slide plate 22 can slide outward in the sliding groove to adapt to the connection between the screw rod 23 and the connecting frame 21; when the support leg 1 is adjusted to rotate upward, the connecting frame 21 needs to be driven to rotate downward by the screw rod 23. At this time, the slide plate 22 can slide inward in the sliding groove to adapt to the connection between the screw rod 23 and the connecting frame 21. The screw rod 23 passes through the slide plate 22 and is threadedly connected to the slide plate 22, so that the rotation of the screw rod 23 can be directly converted into the up and down movement of the slide plate 22. The driving motor 24 serves as the power source of the adjustment unit 2, and its driving end is connected to the screw rod 23, which is used to drive the screw rod 23 to rotate. When the driving motor 24 is started and rotated, the screw rod 23 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the slide plate 22 to perform precise up and down movement. Since the slide plate 22 is connected to the connecting frame 21, the movement of the slide plate 22 will eventually be converted into the rotation of the support leg 1, thereby achieving the angle adjustment of the support leg 1.
[0032] See also Figures 1 to 7In this embodiment, the contact portion of the grounding frame 3 includes a support rod 31, and the grounding frame 3 also includes a mounting seat 32. Several support rods 31 are evenly arranged around the outer side of the mounting seat 32, and the top ends thereof are rotatably connected to the mounting seat 32, and the bottom ends form support ends for supporting on the ground.
[0033] In one of the specific embodiments, mounting grooves 33 are provided on the circumferential sides of the mounting seat 32 at positions corresponding to the support rod 31, and the top end of the support rod 31 is embedded in the mounting groove 33 and is rotatably connected to the groove walls on both sides of the mounting groove 33 through a rotating shaft, so that the bottom end of the support rod 31 can swing up and down to a limited extent when it contacts the ground, thereby providing a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability; the top end of the support rod 31 also has a connecting portion 34 extending toward the center of the mounting seat 32, and the bottom surface of the connecting portion 34 is connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 33 through a second spring 35. When the bottom end of the support rod 31 touches the ground, if the ground is uneven, the bottom end of the support rod 31 will rotate upward after contacting the ground, thereby causing the second spring 35 to be compressed. When the bottom end of the support rod 31 leaves the ground, the support rod 31 can automatically return to its initial position under the action of the second spring 35. In addition, a limit block 36 is provided on one side of each second spring 35. The limit block 36 is located at the bottom of the top end of the support rod 31 and is used to limit the upward rotation range of the support rod 31, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the support rod 31 during use.
[0034] Furthermore, in order to further enhance the adaptability of the drone in complex terrain, in some embodiments, rollers, spikes or rubber pads are provided at the support end. On sandy or muddy ground, the contact portion can be adjusted to a longer spike to increase the support area and penetration; on hard ground, the contact portion can be adjusted to a roller or rubber pad. The design of the roller can not only reduce the friction between the support rod 31 and the ground, but also improve the flexibility of the drone moving on the hard ground, making the movement of the support rod 31 on the hard ground smoother, while the rubber pad can provide additional grip to prevent the drone from sliding during movement.
[0035] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the adjustment unit 2 is usually controlled by an electronic control system, which can automatically adjust the length of the support leg 1 and the contact portion of the grounding frame 3 according to the flight data of the drone and the feedback information of the landing environment. The automated design not only improves the landing accuracy of the drone, but also greatly reduces the burden on the operator, so that the drone can achieve fast and safe landing in various environments.
[0036] The present invention designs a plurality of support legs 1 by providing a plurality of support legs 1, an adjustment unit 2 and a plurality of ground frames 3. The support legs 1 are used to be hinged to the bottom of the drone shell and can be flexibly rotated around the drone shell to adjust the contact angle with the ground to adapt to different landing environments. In order to achieve the adjustment of the support legs 1, an adjustment unit 2 is also provided. The adjustment unit 2 is connected to the plurality of support legs 1 and is used to drive these support legs 1 to rotate precisely, so that the drone can land stably on various complex terrains. In order to further improve the adaptability of the UAV, a grounding frame 3 is respectively arranged at the bottom end of each supporting leg 1, and each grounding frame 3 is equipped with a plurality of adjustable contact parts, which are distributed around the bottom of the supporting leg 1 and can be finely adjusted according to the actual landing surface conditions, so that the UAV can adapt to various irregular landing surfaces, and can achieve a smooth landing whether on rugged mountains, soft sand or slippery mud. The landing gear design of the UAV can provide the necessary stability in complex terrain, effectively prevent overturning or damage during take-off and landing, thereby improving the use efficiency and safety.
