Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical fixing devices, and more specifically, to a self-locking quick-installation equipment bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern construction and infrastructure, high-altitude equipment installation operations are becoming increasingly frequent. Existing equipment mounting brackets generally fall into two categories: bolt-fixed brackets and spring-assisted quick-release brackets. Bolt-fixed brackets consist of an L-shaped base plate, bolt locking blocks, and expansion bolts. Tightening the bolts generates mechanical pressure, causing the blocks to grip the I-beam. These are commonly used for static load scenarios such as building pipes and cable trays. Spring-assisted quick-release brackets, on the other hand, use torsion spring-driven symmetrical clamping arms and V-shaped fixing seats. Manual pressing of the clamping arms overcomes the spring force to achieve rapid opening / closing. These are often used for temporary lighting equipment and surveillance camera installation. However, traditional equipment bracket installation methods mainly suffer from the following technical problems:

[0003] 1. Low installation efficiency: When using bolt fastening, a single installation point usually requires 8-10 turns of tightening, which is particularly inconvenient in confined spaces, with each installation point taking more than 3 minutes on average.

[0004] 2. Significant safety hazards: Existing spring-assisted quick-release brackets require installers to operate with both hands in close proximity. According to statistics, the fall-from-height accident rate is as high as 23%, which seriously threatens the safety of workers. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the embodiments of the present invention provide a self-locking quick-installation equipment bracket. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the problems of low installation efficiency and large safety hazards of the equipment brackets in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-locking quick-installation equipment bracket, comprising a bracket body, a device to be installed is mounted at the bottom of the bracket body, a solar panel is provided at the top of the device to be installed, and a gripping component is provided at the top of the bracket body;

[0007] The support body includes a main frame, one end of which is fixedly provided with a base plate. Both the main frame and the base plate are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength. The other end of the main frame is fixedly provided with a fixed arm. The fixed arm is L-shaped, and a movable clamping arm is axially connected to the end of the fixed arm away from the main frame. A pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly is provided between the middle of the movable clamping arm and the main frame. The pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly is connected to the main frame to form a spring bracket. The two ends of the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly are respectively hinged to the movable clamping arm and the spring bracket.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a built-in beam is fixedly mounted inside the fixed arm, and a hinge shaft is provided between one end of the movable clamping arm and the fixed arm and the built-in beam, and the movable clamping arm is rotatably connected along the hinge shaft.

[0009] The movable clamping arm is detachably and fixedly installed with a drone connection interface at the end away from the hinge axis.

[0010] One end of the fixed arm is perpendicular to the main frame, and a reinforcing rib is fixed at the connection between the fixed arm and the main frame.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly includes, but is not limited to, a spring box, a push rod, a helical spring, and a mounting flange component; wherein, the preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly is hinged to the movable clamping arm and the spring bracket respectively through the mounting flange; the preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly adopts a progressive stiffness design, with an initial preload of 50-100N.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed arm and the movable clamping arm are rotatably connected by a hinge shaft. The fixed arm and the movable clamping arm, together with the hinge shaft, form a clamping mechanism with a variable angle clamping space. The movable angle between the movable clamping arm and the fixed arm is set to 45°-90°. A limit block is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed arm by bolts. The limit block is made of wear-resistant alloy material and has a service life of more than 10,000 opening and closing cycles. The limit block seals the bottom space of the built-in beam frame, effectively preventing the movable clamping arm from sinking excessively at the position of the built-in beam frame, which is not conducive to subsequent work.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting base is provided at the connection between the bottom of the base plate and the device to be installed, and a lifting frame is fixedly provided on the top of the base plate, which can lift the solar panel at an angle of 45°-60°.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the device to be installed is configured as a device to be installed with a CCD camera, wherein the CCD camera's shooting angle is aligned with the clamping point of the fixed arm and the movable clamping arm and the gripper, and the device to be installed also has a built-in wireless signal transmission module.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0016] This invention reconstructs the force transmission path through the dynamic balance of gravity and spring force, establishing a deep collaborative mechanism between the mechanical structure and UAV operation. This enables rapid installation and disassembly of equipment, significantly improving work efficiency. Furthermore, the remote operation method reduces the risks of high-altitude operations, solving the problems of low installation efficiency and high-altitude operation risks associated with traditional support systems. It is a self-locking equipment support structure suitable for high-altitude work environments and capable of rapid installation and disassembly, especially suitable for equipment installation operations in fields such as construction, power, and communications.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-4 The self-locking quick-installation equipment bracket shown includes a bracket body 1, a device to be installed 2 loaded at the bottom of the bracket body 1, a solar panel 3 provided at the top of the device to be installed 2, and a gripping component 4 provided at the top of the bracket body 1.

[0026] like Figures 2-4The support body 1 includes a main frame 11, with a base plate 13 fixedly mounted at one end of the main frame 11. Both the main frame 11 and the base plate 13 are made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength. A fixed arm 17 is fixedly mounted at the other end of the main frame 11. The fixed arm 17 is L-shaped, and a movable clamping arm 18 is axially connected to the end of the fixed arm 17 away from the main frame 11. A pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 is provided between the middle of the movable clamping arm 18 and the main frame 11. The pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 is connected to the main frame 11 to form a spring bracket 12. The two ends of the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 are hinged to the movable clamping arm 18 and the spring bracket 12, respectively. An internal beam frame 111 is fixedly mounted inside the fixed arm 17. One end of the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 are connected to the internal beam frame 111. A hinge shaft is provided between the main frame 11 and the movable clamping arm 18 is rotatably connected along the hinge shaft; a drone connection interface 19 is detachably and fixedly installed at the end of the movable clamping arm 18 away from the hinge shaft; one end of the fixed arm 17 is set perpendicular to the main frame 11, and a reinforcing rib plate 110 is fixedly provided at the connection between the fixed arm 17 and the main frame 11; the main frame 11, the base plate 13, the fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 are all made of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy material, with dimensions of 300mm×200mm×10mm, and the surface is anodized; the reinforcing rib plate 110 is a hollow square tube design with a wall thickness of 3mm, which is lighter than the traditional structure; the fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 are connected by a stainless steel hinge shaft, and the clamping contact surfaces of the fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 are provided with anti-slip textures, and the coefficient of friction is not less than 0.6;

[0027] The preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly 16 includes, but is not limited to, a spring box, a push rod, a helical spring, and a mounting flange component; wherein, the preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly 16 is hinged to the movable clamping arm 18 and the spring bracket 12 respectively through the mounting flange; the preloaded variable stiffness spring assembly 16 adopts a progressive stiffness design, and the initial preload is 50-100N.

[0028] Specifically, the fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 are connected by a hinge; the bottom plate 13 is connected to the main frame 11, and a reinforcing rib plate 110 is set in the middle to ensure structural strength; the front end of the movable clamping arm 18 is hinged to the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 and the spring bracket 12, while the middle part of the movable clamping arm 18 is rotatably connected to the fixed arm 17 through a hinge shaft, and the end of the movable clamping arm 18 is connected to the UAV connection interface 19; the main frame 11 is provided with an oblong hole at the location where the spring bracket 12 is installed, and the degree of engagement of the movable clamping arm 18 can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the spring bracket 12 on the main frame 11;

[0029] Bracket installation process: Connect the device to the drone via the drone connection interface 19 and lift the entire device (the drone has a hook that can be directly attached to the drone connection interface 19); During this period, the end of the movable clamping arm 18 receives the lifting force from the drone via the drone connection interface 19, and uses gravity-spring force dynamic balance: when the device is lifted via the drone connection interface 19, the difference between the weight of the device and the pre-tension force of the pre-compression variable stiffness spring assembly 16 controls the opening and closing of the movable clamping arm 18, the pre-compression variable stiffness spring assembly 16 is compressed, and the movable clamping arm 18 opens; when moved to the installation position (i.e., the gripper 4 position), the drone's pulling force is removed, the pre-compression variable stiffness spring assembly 16 returns to its original position, and the movable clamping arm 18 engages and locks;

[0030] The bracket disassembly process: The drone applies an upward pulling force again through the drone connection interface 19, the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 is compressed, and the movable clamping arm 18 opens; the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 open at an angle and are transported to the ground after separating from the gripper 4 position.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] like Figure 5 The fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 are rotatably connected by a hinge shaft. The fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18, together with the hinge shaft, form a clamping mechanism with a variable angle clamping space. The included angle between the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 is set to 45°-90°. A limit block 112 is fixed to the bottom end of the fixed arm 17 by bolts. The limit block 112 is made of wear-resistant alloy material and has a service life of more than 10,000 opening and closing cycles. The limit block 112 seals the bottom space of the internal beam frame 111, effectively preventing the movable clamping arm 18 from being positioned within the internal beam frame 111. Excessive settling is not conducive to the subsequent reconnection of the UAV to the UAV connection interface 19; the bottom of the base plate 13 is provided with a mounting base 14 at the connection between the bottom and the device to be installed 2, and a lifting frame 15 is fixedly provided on the top of the base plate 13, which can lift the solar panel 3 at an angle of 45°-60°; the device to be installed 2 is set as a device to be installed with a CCD camera (such as a lighting lamp, camera, etc.), wherein the shooting angle of the CCD camera is aligned with the clamping point of the fixed arm 17 and the movable clamping arm 18 and the gripper 4, and the device to be installed 2 also has a built-in wireless signal transmission module.

[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: A CCD camera is mounted on the base plate 13, which can directly capture video of the clamping point of the gripper 4. The video is transmitted to the control terminal through a wireless signal transmission module that conforms to ISO standards. It is compatible with mainstream drones, facilitates accurate positioning of the clamping point, and effectively prevents the drone's built-in camera from being unable to directly observe whether it is installed in place due to its viewing angle.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] During installation, the drone lifts the bracket to the installation position through the drone connection interface 19; the lifting force is transmitted to the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 through the movable clamping arm 18, causing the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 to open; after the bracket is in place, the lifting force is removed (the drone disengages from the drone connection interface 19, at which point the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 are installed externally at the gripper 4 position), the pre-compressed variable stiffness spring assembly 16 resets and drives the movable clamping arm 18 to close, and the movable clamping arm 18 and the fixed arm 17 are automatically locked;

[0036] During disassembly, the drone also applies a lifting force through the drone connection interface 19 to unlock the movable clamping arm 18 from the fixed arm 17. After the movable clamping arm 18 opens, the bracket can be removed. The entire process does not require direct manual operation, which significantly improves safety.

[0037] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
