[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the technical solution more clear, the technical solution is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a switching structure for mounting a payload of an unmanned aerial vehicle, which includes:

[0027] The adapter cover 1 includes a head 11, a waist 12 and a tail 13, and the head 11, the waist 12 and the tail 13 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the adapter cover 1 is made entirely of plastic, such as ABS plastic;

[0028] A first interface 2, which is connected to the lower end surface of the adapter cover 1 and is used for electrical connection with the drone body;

[0029] The second interface 3 is connected to the upper end surface of the adapter cover 1 and is used to be electrically connected to a load. In this embodiment, the load includes a camera, a laser sensor, etc. At the same time, the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 are electrically connected. Therefore, when the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 are respectively connected to the drone body and the load, signal interaction between the drone body and the load can be realized through the first interface 2 and the second interface 3;

[0030] A plurality of connection holes 4, all of which are provided on the adapter cover 1. Preferably, at least one connection hole 4 is provided on each of the head portion 11 and the tail portion 13;

[0031] And a plurality of connecting members 5, which connect the adapter cover 1 with other structures (such as a drone body, etc.) through the connecting holes 4; in this embodiment, the connecting members 5 include screws / bolts and other components.

[0032] When in use, first connect the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 to the drone body and the payload respectively, and then install the adapter cover 1 to other structures (such as the drone body, etc.) through the connecting piece 5 and the connecting hole 4. One or more of the first interface 2 and the second interface 3 are Type-C interfaces.

[0033] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the first interface 2 is connected to the lower end surface of the head 11 of the adapter cover body 1, and there may be multiple first interfaces 2 and second interfaces 3 (e.g., 2), and at least one second interface 3 is connected to the upper end surface of the head 11 of the adapter cover body 1, and at least one second interface 3 is connected to the lower end surface of the tail 13 of the adapter cover body 1. Thus, multiple loads can be mounted through multiple interfaces, and position interference between loads can be prevented by setting the interfaces at different positions, thereby making the load mounting scheme of the UAV more flexible to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios.

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the switching structure further includes:

[0036] a baffle 6 which is vertically connected to the adapter cover 1 and can be integrally formed with the adapter cover 1; the baffle 6 and the adapter cover 1 enclose a receiving space 14, and the first interface 2 is completely located in the receiving space 14 to avoid position interference caused by the first interface 2 extending out;

[0037] The step portion 7 is formed on the head portion 11 and / or the tail portion 13 of the adapter cover 1, and each step portion 7 is provided with at least one connection hole 4, so that the step portion 7 can cooperate with corresponding components of other structures, such as the step structure on the drone body, to achieve the position limitation of the entire adapter structure;

[0038] The rotating rod 7 has one end that can be rotatably connected to the baffle 6 of the waist 12 of the adapter cover body 1, and the other end is provided with a rotating rod through hole 71. The connecting member 5 can connect the adapter cover body 1 with other structures (such as a drone body, etc.) through the rotating rod through hole 71. Preferably, there are several rotating rods 7, so that the connecting member 5 can be connected to different positions of other structures by rotating the rotating rod 7 to reinforce the overall structure.

[0039] Embodiment 3:

[0040] This embodiment provides a drone, which includes a drone body, the transfer structure in Embodiment 1 or 2, and a payload, and the transfer structure is connected to the drone body and the payload at the same time.

[0041] In summary, the present application can realize the mounting of multiple payloads through multiple interfaces, and can prevent position interference between payloads by setting the interfaces at different positions, making the payload mounting scheme of the drone more flexible to meet the usage requirements of different scenarios.

[0042] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
