Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) landing gear, and in particular to a UAV stable landing buffer device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones have found widespread application in a variety of fields, including aerial photography, agriculture, logistics, and rescue operations. Landing is a critical and challenging step in drone operations. Because drones must withstand significant impact during landing, improperly designed landing gear can easily damage the drone, impacting its lifespan and performance.

[0003] Currently, most drone landing devices on the market utilize simple brackets or cushioning pads. While these structures can provide a certain degree of cushioning, they have numerous drawbacks. For example, simple brackets lack sufficient cushioning capacity to effectively absorb the impact of landing. Traditional cushioning pads are prone to wear and tear, requiring frequent replacement, increasing operational costs. Furthermore, existing landing devices also lack adequate protection for critical components like the drone's nozzle, which can easily lead to damage during landing, compromising the drone's overall performance.

[0004] In response to the above problems, the present invention provides a stable landing buffer device for drones, which aims to improve the landing stability and buffering effect of drones through innovative structural design, while protecting key parts of the drone from damage and extending the service life of the drone.

The clamping ring, through the ingenious design of a threaded sleeve and clamping block, securely attaches to the carbon fiber support rod while simultaneously clamping the collar, effectively preventing damage to the drone caused by shaking during landing.

[0018] Buffer blocks and wear pads are installed at both ends of the mounting bracket. When the drone lands, the wear pads first contact the ground. As the drone continues to fall, the buffer blocks retract into the mounting slots, squeezing the rubber supports and springs to deform, thus cushioning the drone's landing. This design effectively absorbs the impact of landing and protects the drone from damage.

[0019] A baffle and a plug are placed inside the opening of the mounting bracket. Once the clamping ring is installed, the end of the carbon fiber support rod is inserted into the opening, and the plug is inserted into the tube opening of the carbon fiber support rod, thus protecting the tube opening of the carbon fiber support rod. This design can improve the pressure resistance of the carbon fiber support rod tube opening, preventing the tube opening from being damaged during landing and affecting the overall performance of the drone.

[0020] The wear-resistant pad is fixed to the buffer block by a screw and nut. When the wear-resistant pad is severely worn, just unscrew the nut from the screw to remove the worn wear-resistant pad and replace it with a new one. This design facilitates maintenance and replacement, reducing operating costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When installing the clamping ring 4, respectively put the two groups of clamping rings 4 on both sides of the ring 2, and then screw the threaded sleeve 10 to push it into the side groove 5. During this process, the clamping block 9 is squeezed and retracted into the socket 7, and the clamping block 9 stretches the rubber ring 8 to deform. The rubber ring 8 is clamped between the clamping block 9 and the carbon fiber support rod 1 to limit the clamping ring 4. The two groups of clamping rings 4 are firmly limited while clamping the ring 2.

As the drone continues to fall, the buffer block 18 retracts into the mounting groove 17, squeezing the rubber support block 21 and the spring 22 to deform. The rebound force of the rubber support block 21 and the spring 22 cushions the landing of the drone. When the wear-resistant pad 24 is severely worn, perform the following replacement operation: Unscrew the nut 27 from the screw 26 to remove it. Remove the severely worn wear-resistant pad 24. Insert the new wear-resistant pad 24 into the mounting groove 23, insert the screw 26 into the through-hole 25 on one end plate of the wear-resistant pad 24, and then sleeve the threaded nut 27 on the screw 26 to complete the replacement.
