[0020] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," "top," and "bottom," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. 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 of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0022] This invention provides multiple parallel solutions; the different descriptions represent improved solutions or parallel solutions based on the basic solution. Each solution has its own unique characteristics. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. Fixing methods not described herein can be any type of fixing, such as threaded fixing, bolt fixing, or adhesive bonding.

[0023] Example 1: Referring to all the attached drawings; A quick-release structure for a cylindrical payload of a racing drone, characterized in that the quick-release structure includes a racing drone frame 1; a cylindrical payload 4 is mounted on the racing drone frame 1 via a fixing bracket 5; The fixing frame 5 installs the plastic clamping sleeve 2 onto the frame 1 of the racing machine using screws and nuts; the plastic clamping sleeve 2 has a multi-claw structure; The cylindrical load 4 can be pressed into the plastic clamping sleeve 2. During the insertion process, the claws of the plastic clamping sleeve elastically open and deform, which can clamp the cylindrical load 4. It also includes the disassembly of the cone sleeve (6), the disassembly of the cone sleeve (6) and the bevel 7 of the chuck for fitting together; When the cone sleeve (6) is pressed to disassemble, the chuck can be opened, allowing the cylindrical load 4 to be removed. The actual technical effect and its implementation process, i.e., the basic function and non-obviousness, are as follows: Quick assembly / disassembly process for cylindrical payloads: During installation, the cylindrical payload 4 is pressed into the plastic clamping sleeve 2. The claws of the plastic clamping sleeve 4 elastically open and deform. When the cylindrical payload 2 is fully inserted into the plastic clamping sleeve 2, the claws that touch the plastic clamping sleeve 2 return to their original shape, limiting the upper edge of the cover 42 of the cylindrical payload 4. Once the cylindrical payload 4 is inserted into the plastic clamping sleeve 2, it cannot be removed. The clamping band 3 located in the outer circular groove of the plastic clamping sleeve 2 is manually tightened so that all the claws of the plastic clamping sleeve 2 clamp the outer shell 41 of the cylindrical payload 4, thereby quickly installing the cylindrical payload 4 onto the frame 1 of the racing machine.

[0024] During disassembly, first manually loosen the knob of the clamping clamp 3, put the disassembly cone sleeve 6 on the outer shell 41 of the cylindrical task load 4, press down on the disassembly cone sleeve 6 to open all the plastic clamping claws, take out the cylindrical task load 4, remove the disassembly cone sleeve 6, and realize the quick disassembly of the cylindrical task load 4.

[0025] In response to the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the fact that "flying drones are mostly used in competitive and mission scenarios, requiring the transport of mission payloads. However, current payloads are fixed using screws. But many payloads do not have corresponding screw holes, making it difficult for flying drones to transport them. Currently, there is no structure for quick payload installation and removal.", this invention uses a snap-fit ​​method to position the payload and adopts an upward-facing payload installation method, which greatly improves both safety and convenience.

[0026] Example 2: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, the outer ring of the multi-claw assembly is provided with a clamping groove 8, and the clamping clamp 3 can be located in the clamping groove 8. The substantial technical effect and its implementation process, i.e., the basic function and non-obviousness, are as follows: The clamping clamp 3 in this embodiment is not necessary, but it can effectively and more securely fix the load.

[0027] Example 3: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, the inner wall of the multi-claw assembly is provided with an embedded groove 9, which can fit the cylindrical load cell cover 42 of the cylindrical load cell 4. The substantial technical effect and its implementation process, i.e., the basic function and non-obviousness, are as follows: Therefore, the cover can also be used as a positioning structure to securely fix the installation.

[0028] Example 4: As a further improvement, parallel, or alternative independent solution, the cylindrical payload 4 includes a cylindrical payload housing cover 42 and a cylindrical payload housing 41.

[0029] Example 5: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, the disassembly cone sleeve (6) is annular. The substantial technical effect and its implementation process, i.e., basic function and non-obviousness, are as follows: similar implementation structures are all within the protection scope of this invention and can be pushed downwards.

[0030] Example 6: As a further improvement, parallel solution, or optional independent solution, the fixing frame 5 is located in the middle of the racing machine frame 1. The substantial technical effects and implementation process, i.e., the basic functions and non-obvious aspects, are as follows: better stability and better safety.

[0031] Innovatively, each of the above effects exists independently, yet a single structure can be used to combine the results.

[0032] It should be noted that the various modules of this invention are an integration of existing technology modules and do not involve any new modules. Even if some modules use programs, those programs are undoubtedly known programs.

[0033] It should be noted that the multiple solutions provided by this invention include their own basic solutions, are independent of each other and do not restrict each other, but they can also be combined with each other without conflict to achieve multiple effects together.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
