Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pods, in particular to a drone pod. Background Art

[0002] A drone is an unmanned aircraft, also known as a "drone". It is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control device, or is operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. A drone pod is a structure under the drone for mounting items.

[0003] However, existing drone pods still have problems during use. The top of the drone pod is fixed to the drone by multiple bolts. The bolts need tools to turn, which is cumbersome to drive multiple bolts to turn. In addition, the bolts are exposed to the air for a long time, which will cause the surface of the bolts to rust. The rusted bolts are not convenient to remove, thus reducing the installation efficiency of the drone pod. At the same time, when installing the aerial camera through the drone pod, when the drone tilts and flies sideways, it is not convenient to maintain the horizontal state of the aerial camera. In response to the above problems, an innovative design is carried out based on the original pod structure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a drone pod, including a drone body 1, two landing gears 2 are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the drone body 1, a horizontal plate 21 is installed between the two landing gears 2, and a suspension frame 22 is integrated on the lower surface of the horizontal plate 21. A latch 23 runs through the horizontal plate 21 and the suspension frame 22, and one end of the latch 23 located in the suspension frame 22 is an inclined structure, which is convenient for the suspension block 31 to be pushed into the suspension frame 22 for installation. A support rod 25 is fixed on the surface of the latch 23, and a guide groove 24 is opened on the horizontal plate 21. The support rod 25 is located in the guide groove 24, and a reset spring 26 is installed on the surface of the support rod 25. Pulling the latch 23 upward can make the latch 23 withdraw from the suspension frame 22. When the latch 23 is not pulled, the reset spring 26 can push the support rod 25 to slide downward in the guide groove 24, so that the support rod 25 can drive the latch 23 to reset downward;

[0024] When the cam 31 is in the locking position, the locking cam 33 is in the locking cam 36 and the locking cam 36 is in the locking cam 36. When the cam 31 is in the locking position, the locking cam 33 is in the locking cam 36.

[0025] The inner side of the adjusting ring 33 is provided with a mounting chamber 4, and a ball bearing 44 is provided between the mounting chamber 4 and the adjusting ring 33. The mounting chamber 4 is rotatably connected to the adjusting ring 33 through the ball bearing 44. When the drone body 1 flies sideways, the mounting chamber 4 can rotate in the adjusting ring 33 through the ball bearing 44 under the action of gravity, so that the mounting chamber 4 can drive the aerial camera installed inside thereof to maintain a horizontal state left and right;

[0026] The mounting chamber 4 is provided with a mounting chamber 41 inside, and a tightening rod 42 is installed on the mounting chamber 4. A tightening plate 43 is installed at one end of the tightening rod 42 located in the mounting chamber 41. The tightening rod 42 is symmetrically distributed on the mounting chamber 4, and a through-thread connection is formed between the tightening rod 42 and the mounting chamber 4, and the tightening rod 42 is rotatably connected to the tightening plate 43. When the aerial camera is placed in the mounting chamber 41, it is only necessary to screw the tightening rod 42 to perform displacement movement on the mounting chamber 4 through the thread, so that the tightening rod 42 will push the tightening plate 43 to displace synchronously, so that the tightening plate 43 can tighten and clamp the aerial camera in the mounting chamber 41. A cross bar 45 is fixed to the surface of the mounting chamber 4, and a counterweight ring 46 is installed on the surface of the cross bar 45. When the aerial camera is installed in the mounting chamber 41 and the center of gravity of the mounting chamber 4 changes, the counterweight ring 46 is screwed to perform displacement adjustment on the cross bar 45, and the center of gravity of the mounting chamber 4 is restored to the same longitudinal straight line position as the center of the circle of the adjustment ring 33 by the lever principle.
