Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a multi-rotor mother-and-child unmanned aerial vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A multi-rotor mother-child drone is a drone system consisting of a mother drone and at least one child drone. The mother drone is usually larger in size and serves as a carrying and control platform, while the child drone is relatively small and is mainly used to perform specific tasks.

[0003] For example, "a mother-and-child UAV device" with publication number CN108910038A comprises an UAV device body, wherein the fuselage comprises an aircraft, a detection box and a carrying box, a connecting piece is arranged at the bottom of the aircraft, the detection box is arranged on the connecting piece, the carrying box is arranged at the bottom of the detection box, and carrying chamber one, carrying chamber two, carrying chamber three and carrying chamber four are arranged inside the carrying box respectively, and the carrying chamber one, carrying chamber two, carrying chamber three and carrying chamber four are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The large UAV device containing four small UAVs inside is novel in design, can automatically go to the designated destination through GPS positioning, and interfere with enemy radar when passing through unsafe areas, thereby protecting its own body safety.

[0004] In the existing technology, although this type of UAV can automatically go to the designated destination through GPS positioning and interfere with enemy radar when passing through unsafe areas, thereby protecting its own body safety, it is lacking in anti-airflow interference. Since this seed mother UAV does not have a structure for storing the landing gear, and the bearing chamber of the seed mother UAV is large in volume, when the landing gear cannot be stored and the bearing chamber is large in volume, the UAV will significantly increase air resistance during flight, especially in high-speed flight or long-distance cruising. The landing gear and the larger bearing chamber are exposed to the airflow, disrupting the surrounding air flow, so that the UAV needs to overcome greater air resistance during flight, which will consume more energy and reduce flight efficiency.

[0005] So we proposed a multi-rotor mother-daughter UAV to solve the problems raised above. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-rotor mother-and-child UAV to solve the problem that the multi-rotor mother-and-child UAV proposed in the above background technology does not have the function of storing the landing gear, which causes the mother-and-child UAV to consume more energy during flight and reduce flight efficiency.

The bottom surface of the support frame is provided with a support foot, an electric push rod is fixedly installed inside the support foot, and a storage groove is provided on the side of the mother drone body; after the radar detector detects that the distance between the mother drone body and the bottom surface is higher than the set value, the second bidirectional motor will drive the worm wheel to rotate, and the worm wheel will drive the worm to rotate when rotating, and the worm will drive the second gear to rotate through the transmission shaft, and the second gear will drive the third gear to rotate through the tooth chain, and the third gear will drive the rotating frame to rotate when rotating, thereby driving the support frame, the electric push rod and the support foot to rotate, after the support foot and the rotating frame are rotated to be level with the I-frame, the support foot is driven by the electric push rod to move horizontally, and the support frame can be stored when the support foot is inserted into the storage groove. The retractable design of the support frame not only reduces the disturbance of airflow and the resistance suffered by the mother drone body during flight, increases endurance, and avoids the mother drone body from being disturbed by the landing gear and the larger load-bearing chamber, which is easy to cause turbulence and make the flight attitude of the drone difficult to stably control, but also reduces the volume of the mother drone body, making it convenient to transport it.

The design of the block and the baffle makes it easy for the user to open and close the second chamber. At the same time, the design of the first load-bearing compartment and the second load-bearing compartment avoids the situation in which the flight posture of the mother drone body is disturbed due to the inertia of the materials shaking during the flight when the drone uses ropes to suspend the materials. The load-bearing compartment is designed to be installed near the center of gravity of the mother drone body, so that the objects placed therein have a relatively stable impact on the overall center of gravity of the drone. When the mass of the object is distributed in the center of gravity area of ​​the drone, the gravity line it generates is closer to the center of gravity of the drone, making it easier for the drone to maintain balance during flight and reducing the change in flight posture caused by the shift of the center of gravity.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1.

The retractable design of the support frame not only reduces the disturbance of the airflow and the resistance of the mother drone body during flight, increases the endurance, and avoids the mother drone body from being disturbed by the landing gear and the larger bearing chamber, which is easy to cause turbulence and makes it difficult to stably control the flight attitude of the drone, but also reduces the volume of the mother drone body, making it convenient to transport it; 2. In the present invention, when in use, by toggling the card block, after the card block is turned away from the surface of the baffle, the baffle will be rotated by the torsion of the second torsion spring, and the second load-bearing chamber can be opened after the baffle is turned away. When the second load-bearing chamber needs to be closed, it is only necessary to rotate the baffle, and the card block can be released after the baffle is in contact with the surface of the second load-bearing chamber. At this time, the card block will be rotated by the torsion of the first torsion spring, and the second load-bearing chamber can be closed after the card block is in contact with the surface of the baffle. The design of the card block and the baffle facilitates the user to open and close the second chamber, and at the same time, the first load-bearing chamber and the second load-bearing chamber are closed. The design of the load-bearing compartment avoids the situation that when the drone uses ropes to suspend materials during transportation, the materials are shaken by inertia during flight, which causes the flight attitude of the mother drone to be disturbed. The load-bearing compartment is designed to be installed near the center of gravity of the mother drone, so that the objects placed in it have a relatively stable impact on the overall center of gravity of the drone. When the mass of the object is distributed in the center of gravity area of ​​the drone, the gravity line generated by it is closer to the center of gravity of the drone, making it easier for the drone to maintain balance during flight and reducing the change in flight attitude caused by the center of gravity shift; 3.

After the fixed block slides out of the plug-in block, the fixed frame can be pulled out of the slot through the plug-in block. After the plug-in block is pulled out, the disassembly of the fixed frame can be completed, and then the transport fixing mechanism matched with the mother drone body is inserted into the slot through the plug-in block on the fixed frame. At this time, the handle is released again, and the fixed block will slide toward the plug-in block and the slot due to the elastic force of the spring. After the fixed block is inserted into the fixing hole, the replacement of the fixed frame can be completed. The structural design of the fixed frame for convenient disassembly and assembly makes it easy to replace the fixing structure of the sub-drone body and various transport fixing structures, thereby improving the adaptability of the mother drone body.

The child drone body 110 can fly independently through its own flight control system, or it can perform tasks such as formation flight and dispersed search according to the instructions sent by the mother drone body 100; When the support frame 120 needs to be stored, it is only necessary to detect through the radar detector 104 that the distance between the mother drone body 100 and the ground is higher than the set value, and the second bidirectional motor 111 will drive the worm wheel 112 to rotate, and the worm wheel 112 will drive the worm 115 to rotate when rotating, and the worm 115 will drive the second gear 116 to rotate through the transmission shaft 114, and the second gear 116 will drive the third gear 118 to rotate through the toothed chain 117, and the third gear 118 will drive the rotating frame 119 to rotate when rotating, thereby driving the support frame 120, the electric push rod 121 and the support leg 122 to rotate, and wait for the support leg 122 and the rotating frame 119 to rotate. After the support frame 119 is rotated to be level with the I-shaped frame 113, the electric push rod 121 drives the support leg 122 to move horizontally. When the support leg 122 is inserted into the storage slot 123, the storage of the support frame 120 is completed. The retractable design of the support frame 120 not only reduces the disturbance of the airflow and the resistance of the mother drone body 100 during the flight, increases the endurance, and avoids the mother drone body 100 from being disturbed by the landing gear and the larger bearing chamber, which is easy to cause turbulence and make the flight attitude of the drone difficult to stably control, but also reduces the volume of the mother drone body 100, making it convenient to transport it; When the second loading chamber 201 needs to be opened again, the block 203 only needs to be pushed. After the block 203 is turned away from the surface of the baffle 206, the baffle 206 will be rotated by the torsion of the second torsion spring 207. After the baffle 206 is turned away, the second loading chamber 201 can be opened. When the second loading chamber 201 needs to be closed again, the baffle 206 only needs to be rotated. After the baffle 206 is in contact with the surface of the second loading chamber 201, the block 203 can be released. At this time, the block 203 will be rotated by the torsion of the first torsion spring 204. After the block 203 is in contact with the surface of the baffle 206, the second loading chamber 201 can be closed. The design of the block 203 and the baffle 206 facilitates The first load compartment 200 and the second load compartment 201 are designed to prevent the materials from shaking due to inertia during flight and causing the flight attitude of the mother drone body 100 to be disturbed when the materials are transported by the drone by rope suspension. The load compartment is designed to be installed near the center of gravity of the mother drone body 100, so that the objects placed therein have a relatively stable effect on the overall center of gravity of the drone. When the mass of the object is distributed in the center of gravity area of ​​the drone, the gravity line generated by it is closer to the center of gravity of the drone, making it easier for the drone to maintain balance during flight and reducing the change in flight attitude caused by the center of gravity shift. When the fixing frame 103 needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to pull the pull handle 304. When the pull handle 304 moves, it will drive the second limiting rod 303 to slide in the fixing plate 102, and the second limiting rod 303 will drive the fixing block 302 to slide in the fixing hole 300 and the plug block 301. After the fixing block 302 slides out of the plug block 301, the fixing frame 103 can be pulled out from the slot 306 through the plug block 301. After the plug block 301 is pulled out, the fixing frame 103 can be disassembled, and then the transport fixing frame 100 that is compatible with the mother drone body 100 can be put into the fixing frame 103. The fixing mechanism is inserted into the slot 306 through the plug block 301 on the fixing frame 103. At this time, the handle 304 is released, and the fixing block 302 will slide into the plug block 301 and the slot 306 due to the elastic force of the spring 305. After the fixing block 302 is inserted into the fixing hole 300, the fixing frame 103 can be replaced. The structural design of the fixing frame 103, which is easy to disassemble and assemble, makes it easy to replace the fixing structure of the sub-drone body 110 and various transportation fixing structures, thereby improving the adaptability of the mother drone body 100.
