[0034] Example

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 11 The present embodiment provides a portable anti-fall device for mounting a UAV on a tower, including a mounting device and an anti-fall hanging point device. The mounting device includes a UAV fixing plate 2, an industrial control box 3, a flexible joint 4 and a mounter 5. The industrial control box 3 is detachably connected to the UAV fixing plate 2, the top of the flexible joint 4 is rotatably connected to the industrial control box 3 through a pin, and the bottom of the flexible joint 4 is detachably connected to the mounter 5; the anti-fall hanging point device includes a hanging ring 6 and an anti-fall body 7, and the mounter 5 and the anti-fall body 7 are both detachably connected to the hanging ring 6. The UAV fixing plate 2 of the present embodiment is fixed to the bottom of the UAV 1, and the mounting device is suspended by the UAV 1. The flexible joint 4 adopts the form of a combination of a carbon fiber tube and an aviation aluminum alloy joint, which limits the axial rotation of the mounting device while ensuring that the overall joint has a certain flexibility. It plays a role in reducing the swing while retaining a certain flexibility. In this way, it can not only reduce the swing when hanging the anti-fall hanging point device, which is convenient for hanging, but also minimize the influence of the swing of the overall device on the posture of the UAV. The anti-fall hanging point device is detachably mounted on the mount 5 via the hanging ring 6 , and when in use, a traction rope 25 is sleeved on the anti-fall main body 7 of the anti-fall hanging point device.

[0036] After the drone is mounted on the tower anti-fall device, Fig.11 As shown, the corresponding parts of the drone tower climbing anti-fall device are disassembled, folded together and placed in Fig.11 The storage box 24 shown on the right side of the middle can be used, and the stacking position can be referred to Fig.11 When in use, you only need to open the storage box 24, take out the various structures in the storage box 24 and assemble them together to form Figure 1 In this way, the mounting device and the anti-falling hanging point device can be disassembled, separated and folded, so that they can be stored in the storage box 24, which reduces the space occupied by the mounting device and the anti-falling hanging point device and facilitates the carrying of the mounting device and the anti-falling hanging point device.

[0037] In this embodiment, a first snap-in groove 8 is provided at the bottom of the drone fixing plate 2, and a first snap-in block 9 is provided at the top of the industrial control box 3. The first snap-in block 9 is slidably embedded in the first snap-in groove 8, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation between the industrial control box 3 and the drone fixing plate 2. The first snap-in groove 8 can be a dovetail groove.

[0038] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a male plug 10 is provided at the bottom of the flexible joint 4, and a female plug 11 is provided at the top of the mount 5, and the male plug 10 is inserted into the female plug 11. This facilitates the disassembly and assembly between the mount 5 and the flexible joint 4, and the male plug 10 and the female plug 11 can adopt the existing male and female plugs of the LP-16 model.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the flexible joint 4 includes a plurality of sequentially connected joint rods 41, and any two adjacent joint rods 41 are rotatably connected via a pin 42. This facilitates the flexible joint 4 to be rotated, folded and stored.

[0040] Optionally, the design includes a universal joint under the industrial computer, and the two flexible joints below are both for the aircraft to rotate forward and backward. The purpose of this is to facilitate the take-off and landing of the drone. Since the bottom is a fork-type device (the guide mounting groove at the bottom of the mount forms a fork-type structure), its orientation will only be forward and backward, which makes it easier for the flexible joints to work with it and reduce the risk of bombing. Optionally, the entire mounting device is designed as a flexible connector, and is designed as a universal joint plus a guide joint. The purpose of such a design is, on the one hand, that when the drone is hanging the anti-fall hanging point device or landing, if the connector is too hard, the drone will mistakenly think that it has touched the ground and stop the blades, which can easily cause a bomb explosion; on the other hand, combined with the fork device below and the single-sided hollow hanging ring above the hanging point, the anti-fall hanging point device can be easily recovered. During the recovery process, due to the open design, when the wind or the drone swings during movement, the entire fork device can be more easily placed within the range of the hanging ring. At the same time, once the fork device contacts the hanging ring, the arc of the hanging ring plays a guiding role. This time, the drone is not required to fly to the exact center point, and a certain amount of deviation is allowed, making it easier to recover the hanging point.

[0041] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the bottom of the mount 5 is provided with a guide installation groove 12 which opens downward, and the hanging ring 6 is embedded in the guide installation groove 12; the mount 5 is provided with a steering gear 13, and the rotating end of the steering gear 13 is provided with a hook 14, and the hook 14 hooks the hanging ring 6. In this way, when the hanging ring 6 needs to be locked, the steering gear 13 drives the hook 14 to rotate and move out of the guide installation groove 12, and then the hanging ring 6 is moved into the guide installation groove 12, and the steering gear 13 is started to rotate in the opposite direction and drive the hook 14 to rotate and embed in the guide installation groove 12, and the hanging ring 6 is hooked by the hook 14. At this time, the anti-fall hanging point device can be hung on the mount device to complete the installation.

[0042] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, a second clamping groove 15 is provided on the top of the anti-falling body 7, and a second clamping block 16 is provided on the bottom of the hanging ring 6, and the second clamping block 16 is embedded in the second clamping groove 15. This facilitates the disassembly and installation between the anti-falling body 7 and the hanging ring 6, and the second clamping groove 15 can be a dovetail groove.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, the anti-falling body 7 is detachably provided with a guide extension plate 17. The guide extension plate 17 is used to reduce the difficulty of operation when hanging without increasing too much weight of the equipment.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, an opening is provided at the top of the guide extension plate 17, the bottom of the anti-fall body 7 is embedded in the guide extension plate 17, and the guide extension plate 17 is provided with a locking hole 18; a locking pin 19 is slidably provided in the anti-fall body 7, and the locking pin 19 is provided with a toggle block 20, the toggle block 20 passes through the anti-fall body 7, and one end of the locking pin 19 is slidably embedded in the locking hole 18.

[0045] A spring 21 is provided in the anti-falling body 7 , one end of the spring 21 is connected to the locking pin 19 , and the other end of the spring 21 is connected to the anti-falling body 7 .

[0046] The utility model provides a locking pin 19, before installing the guide extension plate 17, such as Fig.10 As shown, the toggle block 20 is moved by hand to make the locking pin 19 slide into the anti-fall body 7. At this time, the spring 21 is squeezed and deformed by the locking pin 19 to accumulate elastic potential energy. Then the guide extension plate 17 is installed outside the anti-fall body 7, and the locking hole 18 is aligned with the locking pin 19. Release the toggle block 20, and push one end of the locking pin 19 to slide and fit into the locking hole 18 under the elastic force of the spring 21 to lock it. In this way, it is easy to install the guide extension plate 17 on the anti-fall body 7, and the operation is convenient.

[0047] like Figure 8-Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments of the present utility model, a positioning strip 23 is provided on the inner wall of the guide extension plate 17 , a positioning slot 22 is provided on the outer wall of the anti-fall body 7 , and the positioning strip 23 is slidably embedded in the positioning slot 22 .

[0048] The utility model provides a positioning strip 23. When installing the guide extension plate 17, the positioning strip 23 is aligned with the positioning slot 22 and the positioning strip 23 is slidably embedded in the positioning slot 22. This can improve the installation accuracy of the guide extension plate 17 and facilitate the alignment of the locking hole 18 with the locking pin 19.

[0049] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present application.

[0050] Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present application is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present application.
