[0004] However, during the rapid descent of the drone, its own gravity and inertia will generate a large impact force, and a single shock-absorbing device cannot achieve a better shock-absorbing effect. This makes it easy for the drone to be damaged by vibration during the landing process. Therefore, the utility model proposes a drone shock-absorbing device to solve the above problem.

[0018] The utility model supports the entire drone by the connecting rod when the drone is being operated to descend, preventing the drone from tipping over under the elastic force of the shock-absorbing spring. The drone's own gravity generates pressure on the pressure rod during the descent process, and the pressure rod acts downward, causing the mounting seat to generate downward pressure on the upper support plate. The upper support plate drives the vertical column fixedly connected to the disc on the lower surface to slide in the columnar hole, and at the same time drives the first pressure plate to press the buffer spring downward. The buffer spring generates an upward elastic force under the action of the second pressure plate, thereby performing preliminary buffering and shock reduction on the entire drone. The rubber pad fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support column can, on the one hand, provide buffering and shock reduction for the drone when it contacts the ground, and also improves the stability of the drone during the descent process. When the drone is rapidly descending, due to the drone's own gravity and inertia, a large impact force will be generated. At this time, the upper support plate will generate a large downward pressure, which will generate a When the cam is in a downward motion, the stopper slides in the groove under the constraint of the slide groove, and the rotating column rotates at this time, driving the outer ring surface of the shell to slide, thereby causing the push rod to move downward. When the push rod moves downward, the buffer spring can offset part of the downward impact force, and at the same time, the push rod extends downward to make the shock-absorbing pad contact the ground. At this time, the block is just stuck in the slot, so that the rubber pad and the shock-absorbing pad work together to buffer and reduce the shock of the rapidly descending drone, avoid damage to the equipment carried on the drone, prevent the drone from tipping over, reduce damage to the drone during rapid landing, and reduce damage to drone 1 during rapid landing. After drone 1 is stable, press the drone lightly downward to make the push rod rebound, which is convenient for next use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

One end of the column 8 is sleeved in the cylindrical hole 22, and the column 8 is slidably installed between the cylindrical hole 22. A limiting column 23 is sleeved on the upper end of the column 8, and a clamping ring 12 is sleeved on the lower end of the column 8. Four groups of shock-absorbing springs 10 are arranged symmetrically about the central plane of the drone 1, and a rubber pad 24 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support column 21.

[0033] A connecting column 13 is provided on one side of the snap ring 12, one end of the connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 14, a housing 15 is sleeved in the fixing block 14, a push rod 16 is sleeved in the housing 15, one end of the push rod 16 is fixedly connected to a fixing column 17, a sleeve 18 is sleeved on the outer ring surface of the fixing column 17, a slide groove 19 is provided on the sleeve 18, a card slot 20 is provided at one end of the slide groove 19, one end of the connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to a rubber pad 24, the other end of the connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing block 14, the upper surface of the housing 15 is connected to the sleeve 18 Fixedly connected, a buffer spring 25 is installed on the outer ring surface of the push rod 16, a shock-absorbing pad 26 is installed on the lower surface of the push rod 16, one end of the fixed column 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 27, a block 28 is fixedly installed on the outer ring surface of the fixed column 17, a sliding shell 29 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating column 27, the sliding shell 29 is slidably installed between the outer shell 15, a groove 30 is opened on the upper surface of the rotating column 27, a slewing ring bearing 31 is installed in the groove 30, a top column 32 is sleeved in the slewing ring bearing 31, and the upper surface of the top column 32 is fixedly connected to the upper support plate 6.

[0034] In actual use, when the drone 1 is operated to descend, the connecting rod 2 supports the entire drone 1 to prevent the drone 1 from tipping over under the elastic force of the shock-absorbing spring 10. The drone 1 generates pressure on the pressure rod 3 through its own gravity during the descent process. The pressure rod 3 acts downward, causing the mounting seat 5 to generate downward pressure on the upper support plate 6. The upper support plate 6 slides in the columnar hole 22 through the column 8 fixedly connected to the disc 7 on the lower surface, and at the same time drives the first pressing plate 9 to press the buffer spring 25 downward.

The top column 32 and the slewing ring bearing 31 are installed in a manner that the inner ring is fixed and the outer ring rotates. The outer ring surface of the slewing ring bearing 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 30 provided on the upper surface of the fixed column 17. When the top column 32 acts downward, the block 28 slides in the slide groove 19 under the constraint of the slide groove 19. At this time, the rotating column 27 rotates, driving 29 to slide on the outer ring surface of the housing 15, thereby causing the push rod 16 to move downward. The push rod 16 slowly moves downward. The impact spring 25 can offset part of the downward impact force, and at the same time, the push rod 16 extends downward to make the shock-absorbing pad 26 contact the ground. At this time, the card block 28 is just stuck in the card slot 20, so that the rubber pad 24 and the shock-absorbing pad 26 work together to buffer and reduce the shock of the rapidly descending drone 1, avoid damage to the equipment carried by the drone 1, prevent the drone 1 from tipping over, and reduce damage to the drone 1 during rapid landing. After the drone 1 is stable, lightly press the drone 1 downward to make the push rod 16 rebound, which is convenient for next use.
