Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a load combination of unmanned aerial vehicles. Background Art

[0002] After searching the Chinese patent document with the existing announcement number CN217563747U, a drone combination loudspeaker is disclosed, including a loudspeaker body and a drone body. The loudspeaker body includes a loudspeaker horn, a heat dissipation back cover, a control bottom box, a pan / tilt bracket, a quick-release bracket and a compression transducer. The interior of the compression transducer includes U iron, neodymium magnet, washer, PCB board, voice coil bracket and diaphragm. A horn unit is installed at one end of the loudspeaker horn. The interior of the horn unit includes a throat plug, a sound cavity, a horn throat, a horn wall and a horn mouth. The device adopts high-performance strong neodymium magnets and high magnetic permeability U iron to effectively shield the leakage of the magnetic field while reducing the size and weight of the transducer. After reducing the size of a single transducer and horn, two or more compression transducers and horn unit combinations are set to achieve a multiple increase in power and sound pressure level, and reduce the power load and heat generation of a single transducer.

[0003] With the rapid development of drone technology, its application in many fields such as agricultural monitoring, search and rescue, and security inspections has become more and more extensive. When performing these tasks, drones usually need to carry different payloads, such as searchlights and loudspeakers, to adapt to different operating environments and needs. However, existing drone systems have certain limitations in the configuration and use of payloads. Most drone designs can only support the installation of a single payload, which limits the flexibility of drone applications in complex tasks. For example, in rescue missions that require nighttime lighting and voice communication at the same time, traditional drone systems cannot be equipped with searchlights and loudspeakers at the same time, which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of mission execution; most drones only provide a single SDK data interface, which limits scenarios that require the simultaneous use of multiple payloads. Data communication and coordination between payloads become complex and inefficient, limiting the combined use and functional expansion of drone payloads; even if some drone systems allow the installation of multiple payloads, the lack of effective payload management and communication mechanisms makes it difficult for devices to work together, which not only increases the complexity of operation, but also reduces the reliability and efficiency of mission execution.

In addition, a mechanism for the coordinated work of multiple load devices has been developed. It is ensured that when the drone body 1 is equipped with multiple load devices, the load devices can automatically coordinate the working timing and power distribution of each load device, ensuring that sufficient energy supply can be obtained when used alone or in combination, and ensuring that the efficiency and effect of task execution are optimized. The drone load combination can be widely used in agricultural monitoring, search and rescue, safety inspections and other fields. Through a simple installation process, the searchlight 2 and the loudspeaker 3 can form an integrated connection and be fixed on the drone body 1.The drone body 1 can flexibly combine different payloads according to mission requirements, such as using searchlights 2 and loudspeakers 3 at the same time to adapt to complex scenarios such as night search and rescue. By introducing a unified data protocol and intelligent identification mechanism, efficient communication and collaborative work between payloads are achieved, improving the mission execution capability and practicality of the drone body 1. At the same time, the modular design simplifies the installation, disassembly and replacement process of payloads, reduces maintenance costs, and provides a strong guarantee for the rapid deployment and mission adaptability of drones.

[0031] Working principle: Align and connect the docking port 7 Type-C port at the bottom of the megaphone 3 and the docking port 7 Type-C port at the top of the searchlight 2, and then align the hand screws 14 on both sides of the megaphone housing 13 with the screw holes 5 of the connecting blocks 9 on both sides of the searchlight control box 6, and tighten them through threaded connection to complete the stable connection, and then the combination is completed, so that the searchlight 2 and the megaphone 3 are combined together to form a structural design of an integral device. Then align the docking port 7 Type C port at the bottom of the searchlight 2 with the docking port 4 Type C port at the top of the drone body 1, and then align the hand screws 14 on the inside of the connector 8 with the screw holes 5 on the drone body 1, and tighten them through threaded connection to complete the connection and fixation.
