For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this invention will now be described according to its overall structure.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6The present invention provides an anti-impact drone, comprising a drone body 1, an anti-impact mechanism 2 fixedly connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the drone body 1, a fixed rod 3 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the drone body 1, a detection mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed rod 3, and two sets of adjustment mechanisms 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1.

[0034] The impact-resistant mechanism 2 includes a propeller mounting position 21. Propeller mounting positions 21 are fixedly connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the UAV body 1. A fuselage tube 22 is fixedly connected inside the UAV body 1. A fuselage connector 23 is fixedly connected inside the fuselage tube 22. The fuselage tube 22 facilitates the installation and fixation of the fuselage connector 23.

[0035] The outer walls of the drone body 1 are all fixedly connected with a first thin-walled sandwich tube 211, and the first thin-walled sandwich tube 211 is filled with a first super-chiral tube 212. The drone body 1 is fixedly connected with a second thin-walled sandwich tube 221. The first thin-walled sandwich tube 211 facilitates the installation and fixation of the first super-chiral tube 212.

[0036] The second thin-walled sandwich tube 221 is filled with a second super-chiral tube 222. The positive-chiral connector 231 is fixedly connected to the side of the negative-chiral connector 232. Both the positive-chiral connector 231 and the negative-chiral connector 232 are fixedly connected to the fuselage tube 22. The outer wall of the fuselage tube 22 is fixedly connected to the propeller mounting position 21 on all four sides. The fuselage connector 23 is provided with eight sets.

[0037] The working principle of an impact-resistant drone based on Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0038] First, when using this device, place it in the work area, and then connect it to an external power source to provide the power required for its operation.

[0039] Secondly, during use, the first super-chiral tube 212, filled with the first thin-walled sandwich tube 211 inside the propeller mounting position 21, improves the shock and impact resistance of the propeller of the UAV body 1. Then, the second super-chiral tube 222, filled with the second thin-walled sandwich tube 221 inside the fuselage tube 22, improves the shock and impact resistance of the fuselage of the UAV body 1. Finally, the light weight, shock resistance, and impact resistance of the positive-chiral connector 231 and the negative-chiral connector 232 further improve the shock and impact resistance of the fuselage of the UAV body 1, reducing the impact of vibration on internal precision components and ensuring stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, deformation buffering and energy absorption reduce damage to the fuselage and components, improving the safety and survivability of the equipment.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Please see Figure 7 The present invention provides an anti-impact drone, which, compared with the first embodiment, further includes a detection mechanism 4. The detection mechanism 4 includes a mounting box 41. The mounting box 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing rod 3. A motor 42 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the mounting box 41. The bottom output shaft of the motor 42 is fixedly connected to the front end of the top of the cam 43. The motor 42 can easily drive the cam 43 to rotate.

[0042] A connecting rod 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear end of the cam 43. A connecting seat 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 44. Four sets of rotating rods 46 are rotatably connected inside the connecting seat 45. A sliding block 47 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 46. The connecting rod 44 facilitates the swinging of the connecting seat 45.

[0043] The outer side of the sliding block 47 is fixedly connected to the inner gear plate of the gear tooth plate 48. The inner gear of the gear tooth plate 48 is fixedly connected to the laser rangefinder 49 through the gear rod. The bottom of the sliding block 47 is slidably connected to the bottom of the mounting box 41. The bottom of the inner gear plate of the gear tooth plate 48 is slidably connected to the bottom of the mounting box 41. The laser rangefinder 49 facilitates the detection of the distance to obstacles.

[0044] The laser rangefinder 49 is electrically connected to an external display screen. The bottom of the gear inside the gear plate 48 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting box 41. The gear rod inside the gear plate 48 passes through the top of the mounting box 41 and is rotatably connected to its interior.

[0045] In this embodiment:

[0046] When obstacle detection is required, motor 42 is started, which drives cam 43 to rotate. Cam 43 drives connecting seat 45 to swing through connecting rod 44. Connecting seat 45 drives four sets of sliding blocks 47 to move through rotational connection with four sets of rotating rods 46. The four sets of sliding blocks 47 drive the internal gear plates of four sets of gear plates 48 to move. The internal gear plates of four sets of gear plates 48 drive the internal gears of four sets of gear plates 48 to rotate. The internal gears of four sets of gear plates 48 drive the four sets of laser rangefinders 49 to rotate through four sets of gear rods. The rotation of the four sets of laser rangefinders 49 performs multi-directional detection of obstacles and transmits distance information to an external display screen, providing data support for obstacle avoidance decisions and avoiding collision accidents.

[0047] Example 3:

[0048] Please see Figures 8-9The present invention provides an anti-impact drone, which, compared to embodiment one, further includes an adjustment mechanism 5. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes shock-absorbing rubber pads 51. Two sets of shock-absorbing rubber pads 51 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1. An installation rod 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shock-absorbing rubber pads 51. The bottom of the installation rod 52 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 53. A fixed seat 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod 53. A roller 55 is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat 54. Five sets of electromagnetic blocks 56 are fixedly connected inside the installation rod 52. The electromagnetic blocks 56 are electrically connected to an external current output device. The electromagnetic blocks 56 are magnetically attracted to the sliding rod 53.

[0049] In this embodiment:

[0050] During use, the UAV body 1 drives five sets of electromagnetic blocks 56 to work in stages through an external current output device. This causes the sliding rod 53 to move up or down due to the magnetic attraction of the five sets of electromagnetic blocks 56. The sliding rod 53 drives the fixed base 54 to move up or down, and the fixed base 54 drives the roller 55 to move up or down. The upward or downward movement of the roller 55 adapts to different flatness, slope or obstacle distribution on the ground, ensuring the stability of the aircraft during takeoff and landing and reducing the risk of tipping over or collision. In addition, the roller 55 absorbs vibration through the shock-absorbing rubber pad 51 during use.

[0051] This invention provides an improved drone with impact resistance. An impact-resistant mechanism 2 enhances the shock and impact resistance of the drone body 1 and propellers, reducing the impact of vibrations on internal precision components and ensuring stable operation. Simultaneously, deformation buffering and energy absorption reduce damage to the body and components, improving equipment safety and survivability. A detection mechanism 4 uses four sets of rotating laser rangefinders 49 to perform multi-directional obstacle detection and transmit distance information to an external display screen, providing data support for obstacle avoidance decisions and preventing collisions. An adjustment mechanism 5 uses rollers 55 to move up or down to adapt to different flatness, slope, or obstacle distribution on the ground, ensuring stability during takeoff and landing and reducing the risk of tipping over or collisions.
