Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air-to-ground integrated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and more particularly to air-to-ground integrated racing drones. Background Technology

[0002] Current air-ground integrated operation equipment mostly adopts a separate design for the drone and the ground mobile device, requiring each to be equipped with an independent power supply module. This not only increases the overall weight and size of the equipment but also suffers from low power utilization and insufficient battery life. Furthermore, the connection structure between the drone and the ground mobile device in existing equipment is complex, inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, and lacks a reliable locking mechanism, making it prone to separation and detachment during operation, affecting operational safety. In addition, some equipment lacks a power interlock mechanism, which can easily lead to current conflicts when switching power modes, causing equipment damage. Moreover, signal interruptions and loss of control often occur during mode switching, failing to meet the high-efficiency and safe requirements of air-ground collaborative operations. Therefore, this invention proposes an air-ground integrated racing drone to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an integrated air-ground racing vehicle.

[0004] The air-ground integrated racing vehicle provided by this invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The air-ground integrated racing drone includes a remote-controlled vehicle and a battery box. A shared battery is installed between the remote-controlled vehicle and the battery box. The battery is connected to both through a power interlock control module that controls the current direction.

[0006] A battery box is installed on the top of the remote control vehicle, and a cover that cooperates with the battery box is installed below the drone. The inner wall of the cover is provided with a locking block.

[0007] The battery box has notches on both sides corresponding to the positions of the locking blocks, and a lever structure for locking the locking blocks is elastically slidably embedded in both sides of the battery box. The lever structure includes a slider that cooperates with the locking blocks.

[0008] When the slider is located below the locking block, it is in a locked state, and the battery box and the cover are closed.

[0009] When the slider is above the locking block, it is in a non-locked state, and the battery box and the cover can be separated.

[0010] Preferably, the lever structure further includes a crossbar slidably embedded in the inner wall of the battery box, and the crossbar and the slider are connected as a whole by a vertical bar, and slide synchronously;

[0011] The lever structure also includes a spring rod disposed on the outside of the longitudinal rod. The spring rod is located on the opposite side of the slider locking direction, pushing the slider into the notch.

[0012] Preferably, the battery box also has a through-hole groove, and a lever is provided inside the groove. The lever is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the crossbar to serve as the control component of the lever structure.

[0013] Preferably, the card block has an isosceles trapezoidal structure with its two base sides arranged vertically.

[0014] Preferably, the slider has an isosceles trapezoidal structure with its two bottoms arranged vertically, and the slider and the locking block face opposite directions, so as to realize the downward pressing of the cover and the pressure locking after the locking block and the slider are interlocked.

[0015] Preferably, the power interlock control module is electrically connected to a female connector, and a plug that is inserted into the female connector is fixedly connected to the top lower part of the cover.

[0016] Preferably, the drone is also equipped with an integrated control module and a camera, both of which are electrically connected to the plug.

[0017] The control method for an integrated air-ground racing drone includes the following steps:

[0018] S1. System initialization: Connect the power supply module, main power supply module control module, electric control power supply module, power interlock control module and load module according to the preset lines, ensuring that the wiring is firm and the insulation is good, and set the power interlock control module to the middle off position;

[0019] S2. Powering on the entire unit: Close the main power supply module control module. The 4S 14.8V voltage output by the power supply module is divided into two outputs: one is input to the electronic control power supply module, and the other is input to the power interlock control module. The electronic control power supply module converts the 14.8V high voltage to 5V or 9V low voltage to power the flight controller, receiver, image transmission module, and camera in the integrated control module. The electronic control load enters standby mode, the remote controller and receiver complete frequency pairing, and the image transmission module outputs images normally. At this time, the power interlock control module is in the intermediate shutdown position, and both the drone power load and the remote control vehicle power load are in a power-off state.

[0020] S3. Power Mode Switching: According to usage requirements, switch the power mode by moving the gear of the power interlock control module;

[0021] S31. Switch to Drone Power Mode: Switch the power interlock control module to the drone power position. The first output terminal of the power interlock control module is turned on and the second output terminal is turned off. The high voltage of the power supply module is directly input to the drone power load. The drone power load is powered on and ready to go. The drone can be controlled to fly by the remote controller. At this time, the remote control vehicle power load is kept off, the electronic control load continues to work, and the image transmission module transmits the image in real time.

[0022] S32. Switch to remote control vehicle power mode: Switch the power interlock control module to the remote control vehicle power position. The second output terminal of the power interlock control module is turned on, and the first output terminal is turned off. The high voltage of the power supply module is input to the DC-DC step-down module, which is stepped down to 11.1V low voltage and then input to the remote control vehicle power load. The remote control vehicle power load is powered on and ready to go. The remote control vehicle can be controlled to move using the same remote control. At this time, the drone power load is kept off, the electronic control load continues to work, and the image transmission module transmits images in real time.

[0023] S33. Power Off: Switch the power interlock control module back to the middle off position. Both output terminals of the power interlock control module are disconnected, the power load of the drone and the power load of the remote control vehicle are de-energized, the electronic control load is still in standby mode, and the remote control and image transmission module remain working.

[0024] S4. Power off the whole machine: Disconnect the main power supply module control module, the power supply module stops supplying power to the entire system, the electrical control load, the drone power load and the remote control vehicle power load are all completely de-energized, and the system stops working.

[0025] Preferably, in step S3, during the gear switching process of the power interlock control module, the electric load is always powered, the image transmission module does not stop working, and the frequency pairing status between the remote controller and the receiver is not interrupted, ensuring signal stability during mode switching and avoiding loss of control or image interruption.

[0026] Preferably, in step S2, after the electronically controlled load enters standby mode, the flight controller completes self-test, the receiver receives remote control commands, and the image transmission module transmits the images captured by the camera. After ensuring that all functions of the system are normal, the power mode is switched. In step S4, before the whole machine is powered off, the power interlock control module must be switched to the middle off position to shut down all power loads, and then the main power control module must be disconnected to avoid damage to the equipment caused by hot-plugging or sudden power failure.

[0027] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] This system achieves an integrated collaborative design between drones and remote-controlled vehicles. By sharing a single power supply module, it significantly simplifies the power distribution structure, reduces the overall weight and size of the equipment, improves battery life, and avoids resource waste caused by independent power supplies. The combination of a lever structure with locking blocks and notches enables quick assembly and disassembly of the drone and remote-controlled vehicle, ensuring convenient operation and a secure connection, effectively preventing the safety hazards of separation or detachment during operation. The power interlock control module ensures that only one power load receives power at a time, avoiding equipment damage caused by current conflicts. Simultaneously, the electrical control load continues to be powered during mode switching, ensuring signal stability and eliminating issues such as loss of control and video interruption. The overall structural design fits actual operational needs, featuring a simple structure, low cost, and strong landability. It effectively solves many pain points of existing air-to-ground integrated equipment, significantly improving operational efficiency and safety, and can be widely used in aerial photography, inspection, emergency rescue, and other fields.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0035] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4The integrated air-ground racing drone's core structure includes a remote-controlled vehicle (1), a battery box (11), a drone (2), a cover (21), a locking block (5), a lever structure (7), a power interlock control module (8), a power supply module (6), an integrated control module (3), a camera (4), a female connector (9), a plug (22), and a DC-DC step-down module. These components work together to enable rapid assembly and disassembly of the drone and remote-controlled vehicle, shared power control, and safe switching of power modes. The specific structure and connection relationships are as follows:

[0036] I. Overall Structural Layout

[0037] The integrated air-ground racing drone uses a drone (2) and a remote-controlled vehicle (1) as its core components. These two are connected via a detachable structure and share a single power supply module (6) to enable coordinated air-ground operations. A battery box (11) is fixedly mounted on top of the remote-controlled vehicle (1), housing the power supply module (6). This module provides unified power to both the remote-controlled vehicle (1) and the drone (2). The power supply module (6) is connected to both the remote-controlled vehicle (1) and the drone (2) via a power interlock control module (8). The power interlock control module (8) controls the current flow, ensuring that only one power load receives power at a time, thus preventing power conflicts that could damage the equipment.

[0038] A cover 21 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the drone 2. The cover 21 is adapted to the battery box 11. The inner wall of the cover 21 has an integrally formed locking block 5, which is used to achieve the initial engagement of the cover 21 and the battery box 11. Correspondingly, notches 12 are opened on both sides of the battery box 11 at the positions of the locking blocks 5. The size of the notches 12 matches the locking blocks 5, which facilitates the insertion of the locking blocks 5. At the same time, a lever structure 7 is elastically slidably embedded inside both sides of the battery box 11. The lever structure 7 is used to lock the locking blocks 5 embedded in the notches 12, so as to achieve a firm connection or separation between the cover 21 and the battery box 11, thereby realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the drone 2 and the remote control vehicle 1.

[0039] II. Detailed Explanation of Key Component Structures

[0040] 1. Lever Structure 7

[0041] The lever structure 7 is the core component that enables the detachable connection between the drone 2 and the remote control vehicle 1. It is slidably embedded inside the side wall of the battery box 11 and can slide up and down along the side wall of the battery box 11. Specifically, it includes a slider 71, a horizontal bar 72, a vertical bar 73, a spring bar 74, and a lever 75.

[0042] The slider 71 cooperates with the locking block 5 to lock or unlock the locking block 5. The slider 71 has an isosceles trapezoidal structure with its two bottoms arranged vertically. Correspondingly, the locking block 5 also has an isosceles trapezoidal structure with its two bottom edges arranged vertically, and the slider 71 and the locking block 5 face opposite directions. This structural design allows the cover 21 to be smoothly pressed downward. When the cover 21 drives the locking block 5 to be pressed downward into the notch 12, the inclined surface of the locking block 5 interacts with the inclined surface of the slider 71, pushing the slider 71 to slide into the battery box 11. After the locking block 5 is fully embedded in the notch 12, the slider 71 returns to its original position under the elastic action, located below the locking block 5, forming a locked state. At this time, the battery box 11 and the cover 21 are tightly closed, and the drone 2 is firmly connected to the remote control vehicle 1. When separation is required, the control lever structure 7 drives the slider 71 to slide upward, so that the slider 71 is above the locking block 5. At this time, it is in a non-locking state, and the locking block 5 can be disengaged from the notch 12. The battery box 11 and the cover 21 can be separated smoothly, realizing the separation of the drone 2 and the remote control car 1.

[0043] The crossbar 72 is slidably embedded in the inner wall of the battery box 11 and can slide up and down along the inner wall. The crossbar 72 and the slider 71 are fixedly connected by the vertical bar 73, forming an integral structure to achieve synchronous sliding and ensure the stable and precise sliding action of the slider 71. The spring bar 74 is located on the outside of the vertical bar 73 and on the opposite side of the locking direction of the slider 71. One end of the spring bar 74 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery box 11, and the other end abuts against the vertical bar 73. Under normal conditions, the spring bar 74 is in a naturally extended state, pushing the slider 71 into the notch 12 to ensure the reliability of the slider 71 locking the block 5 and to prevent the slider 71 from shifting due to vibration or other factors, thus affecting the connection stability.

[0044] The battery box 11 also has a sliding groove 13 running through its side wall. The sliding groove 13 is elongated, and its length matches the sliding stroke of the lever structure 7. A lever block 75 is provided inside the sliding groove 13. The lever block 75 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the crossbar 72, serving as the control component of the lever structure 7. The operator can move the lever block 75 up and down along the sliding groove 13 to drive the crossbar 72, the vertical bar 73, and the slider 71 to slide synchronously, thereby switching between the locked and unlocked states. The operation is convenient and effortless.

[0045] 2. Power supply and control components

[0046] The power interlock control module 8 is electrically connected to the power supply module 6. Its function is to control the current direction and realize the interlock switching between the power load of the drone 2 and the power load of the remote control vehicle 1. The power interlock control module 8 is electrically connected to a female connector 9. Correspondingly, a plug 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top of the cover 21. The plug 22 is plugged into the female connector 9. When the cover 21 and the battery box 11 are closed, the plug 22 is inserted into the female connector 9, realizing the electrical connection between the drone 2 and the power supply module 6 and the power interlock control module 8. When the cover 21 and the battery box 11 are separated, the plug 22 is separated from the female connector 9, and the drone 2 is disconnected from the power supply system to avoid problems such as leakage and short circuit during the separation process.

[0047] The UAV 2 is also equipped with an integrated control module 3 and a camera 4. Both the integrated control module 3 and the camera 4 are electrically connected to the plug 22. When the plug 22 is plugged into the socket 9, the integrated control module 3 and the camera 4 can obtain a stable power supply. The integrated control module 3 integrates a flight controller, a receiver, and an image transmission module to realize the flight control, signal reception, and image transmission of the UAV 2. The camera 4 is used to collect aerial or ground images and transmit them to the remote controller through the image transmission module to provide the operator with a real-time view.

[0048] Power supply module 6 uses a 4S 14.8V model aircraft lithium battery with a capacity of 1500mAh to 2200mAh and a discharge rate of ≥80C. The battery output uses an XT60 connector to meet the high-voltage power supply requirements of the UAV 2 power load, while also providing a stable high-voltage input for the remote control vehicle 1 power load. A main power control module is connected in series between power supply module 6 and power interlock control module 8. The main power control module uses a high-current toggle switch or rocker switch of 10A or above to control the unified on / off of the power supply of the entire machine. An XT60 fuse with a rated current of 20A to 30A is also connected in series between power supply module 6 and the main power control module to prevent damage to the equipment caused by short circuits or overloads.

[0049] In addition, a DC-DC step-down module is connected in series between the power load of the remote control car 1 and the power interlock control module 8. The input voltage of the DC-DC step-down module is 14.8V for 4 seconds, the output voltage is 11.1V for 3 seconds, and the output current is ≥5A. It is used to convert the high voltage of the power supply module 6 to the low voltage adapted to the remote control car 1, so as to avoid damage to the main board and motor of the remote control car 1 due to excessive voltage. The power supply lines of each component use silicone wires of different specifications: the power supply lines of the drone 2 power load use 12-14AWG silicone wires, the power supply lines of the remote control car 1 power load use 16-18AWG silicone wires, and the power supply lines of the integrated control module 3, camera 4 and other electronically controlled loads use 22-24AWG silicone wires. All lines are covered with heat shrink tubing for insulation protection to improve circuit safety.

[0050] III. Control Methods of Integrated Air-Ground Racing Vehicles

[0051] Based on the structure of the aforementioned integrated air-ground racing drone, its control method mainly includes four steps: system initialization, power-on, power mode switching, and power-off. The specific operation process is as follows:

[0052] S1. System Initialization: Connect the power supply module 6, main power control module, electric control power supply module, power interlock control module 8 and load module according to the preset lines, ensuring that all wiring is secure and well insulated, and avoiding potential hazards such as loosening or short circuits; at the same time, place the power interlock control module 8 in the middle off position to ensure that the power load of the UAV 2 and the power load of the remote control vehicle 1 are both in a power-off state, preparing for the whole machine to be powered on.

[0053] S2. Powering on the entire unit: Close the main power control module. The 14.8V voltage output from the power supply module 6 is divided into two outputs: one is input to the electronic control power supply module, and the other is input to the power interlock control module 8. The electronic control power supply module converts the 14.8V high voltage to 5V or 9V low voltage to power the flight controller, receiver, image transmission module, and camera 4 in the integrated control module 3. The electronic control load enters standby mode. Subsequently, the remote controller and receiver complete frequency pairing, and the image transmission module outputs the image captured by the camera 4 normally. At this time, the power interlock control module 8 is still in the intermediate shutdown position. The power loads of the UAV 2 and the remote control vehicle 1 remain powered off. The operator can use the remote controller to confirm whether the functions of the electronic control load are normal.

[0054] S3. Power Mode Switching: According to actual usage needs, the gear of the power interlock control module 8 can be switched between the power mode of the drone 2 and the power mode of the remote control vehicle 1. During the switching process, the electronic control load always remains in working state to ensure signal stability.

[0055] S31. Switch to Drone 2 power mode: Switch the power interlock control module 8 to the Drone 2 power mode. At this time, the first output terminal of the power interlock control module 8 is turned on and the second output terminal is turned off. The high voltage output by the power supply module 6 is directly input to the power load of Drone 2, and the power load of Drone 2 is powered on and ready to go. The operator sends flight commands through the same remote controller. After being received by the receiver, the commands are transmitted to the integrated control module 3, and the flight controller controls the flight of Drone 2. At this time, the power load of the remote control vehicle 1 remains powered off, while the integrated control module 3, camera 4 and other electronic control loads continue to work. The image transmission module transmits the images captured by the camera 4 in real time, which is convenient for the operator to observe the flight status.

[0056] S32. Switch to remote control vehicle 1 power mode: Switch the power interlock control module 8 to the power mode of remote control vehicle 1. At this time, the second output terminal of the power interlock control module 8 is turned on and the first output terminal is turned off. The high voltage output of the power supply module 6 is input to the DC-DC step-down module. After being converted to 11.1V low voltage by the DC-DC step-down module, it is input to the power load of remote control vehicle 1. The power load of remote control vehicle 1 is powered on and ready to go. The operator sends driving commands through the same remote control to control the remote control vehicle 1 to drive. At this time, the power load of UAV 2 remains powered off, the electronic control load continues to work, and the image transmission module transmits images in real time to realize real-time monitoring of ground operations.

[0057] S33. Power Off: When power output is not required, switch the power interlock control module 8 back to the middle off position. Both output terminals of the power interlock control module 8 are disconnected, the power load of the UAV 2 and the power load of the remote control vehicle 1 are de-energized, and the power output stops. At this time, the electronic load is still in standby mode, and the remote control and image transmission module remain working, which makes it easy for the operator to switch the power mode at any time.

[0058] S4. Power off the entire machine: After the operation is completed, the power interlock control module 8 must be switched to the middle off position to shut off all power loads, and then the main power control module must be disconnected. The power supply module 6 will stop supplying power to the entire system. The integrated control module 3, camera 4, drone 2 power load and remote control vehicle 1 power load will all be completely de-energized and the system will stop working. This is to avoid directly disconnecting the main power without shutting off the power loads, which may cause damage to the equipment due to hot plugging or sudden power failure.

[0059] It should be noted that during the gear switching process of the power interlock control module 8 in step S3, the electric load is always kept powered, the image transmission module does not stop working, and the frequency pairing status between the remote controller and the receiver is not interrupted, ensuring signal stability during mode switching, avoiding loss of control or image interruption, and improving operational safety.

[0060] In step S2, after the electronic control load enters standby mode, the flight controller will automatically complete self-test, the receiver will normally receive remote control commands, and the image transmission module will normally transmit the images captured by camera 4. The operator must confirm that all functions of the system are normal before switching the power mode to avoid operational accidents caused by equipment failure.

[0061] IV. Advantages of the Implementation Examples

[0062] This embodiment of the air-to-ground integrated racing drone utilizes the locking structure of the cover 21 and the battery box 11, along with the locking action of the lever structure 7, to achieve quick assembly and disassembly of the drone 2 and the remote-controlled vehicle 1. This ensures convenient operation and a secure connection. The power interlock control module 8 enables power interlock switching between the two devices, preventing power conflicts and improving operational safety. The shared power supply module 6 simplifies the power distribution structure, reduces system weight and size, and enhances battery life. Furthermore, the structural design of each component is tailored to actual usage needs, with reasonable wiring and adequate insulation protection. This results in advantages such as simple structure, low cost, and strong landability, making it suitable for mounting 8-inch racing drones and the Meijiaxin 16208 remote-controlled vehicle. It can be widely used in aerial photography, inspection, emergency rescue, and other fields.

The first output terminal of the power interlock control module (8) is turned on and the second output terminal is turned off. The high voltage of the power supply module (6) is directly input to the power load of the UAV (2). The power load of the UAV (2) is powered on and ready to go. The UAV (2) can be controlled to fly by the remote controller. At this time, the power load of the remote control vehicle (1) is kept off, the electronic control load continues to work, and the image transmission module transmits the image in real time. S32. Switch to the power mode of remote control vehicle (1): Switch the power interlock control module (8) to the power mode of remote control vehicle (1). The second output terminal of the power interlock control module (8) is turned on and the first output terminal is turned off. The high voltage of the power supply module (6) is input to the DC-DC step-down module. After being stepped down and converted to 11.1V low voltage, it is input to the power load of remote control vehicle (1). The power load of remote control vehicle (1) is powered on and ready to go. The remote control vehicle (1) can be controlled to drive through the same remote control. At this time, the power load of drone (2) is kept in the power-off state, the electric control load continues to work, and the image transmission module transmits the image in real time. S33. Power off: Switch the power interlock control module (8) back to the middle off position. Both output terminals of the power interlock control module (8) are disconnected. The power load of the drone (2) and the power load of the remote control vehicle (1) are both de-energized. The power control load is still in standby mode. The remote control and the image transmission module continue to work. S4. Power off the whole machine: disconnect the main power supply module (6) control module, the power supply module (6) stops supplying power to the whole system, the power load of the electric control load, the power load of the drone (2) and the power load of the remote control vehicle (1) are completely de-energized, and the system stops working.

9. The air-ground integrated racing vehicle according to claim 8, characterized in that: In step S3, during the gear switching process of the power interlock control module (8), the electric control load always maintains a power supply state, the image transmission module does not stop working, and the frequency pairing state between the remote controller and the receiver is not interrupted, ensuring that the signal is stable during the mode switching process and avoiding loss of control or interruption of the image.

10. The air-ground integrated racing vehicle according to claim 8, characterized in that: In step S2, after the electronic load enters the standby state, the flight controller completes the self-test, the receiver receives the remote control command, and the image transmission module transmits the image captured by the camera (4). After ensuring that all functions of the system are normal, the power mode is switched. In step S4, before the whole machine is powered off, the power interlock control module (8) must be switched to the middle off position to shut down all power loads, and then the main power control module must be disconnected to avoid damage to the equipment caused by hot plugging or sudden power failure.
