Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle pod accessories, in particular to a unmanned aerial vehicle pod rack. Background Art

[0002] The optoelectronic pod of a drone is a reconnaissance, photo and video equipment mounted on a drone, which can track, photograph and monitor distant targets around the clock. The optoelectronic pod of a drone uses a wide variety of technologies, and the types of technologies vary slightly depending on the function. The three most commonly used and representative technologies are infrared thermal imaging technology, digital image processing technology, and dynamic target tracking technology. The optoelectronic pod of a drone is an optoelectronic imaging tracking system, and its capture, tracking and aiming (ATP) functions are ultimately completed by a tracking servo system. This tracking servo system is mainly composed of three parts: an optoelectronic sensor system, a signal processing and control system, and a tracking stabilization system (image stabilization system).

[0003] Most of the existing drone pod racks are curved rods, one end of which is mounted on the drone frame, and the other end is connected to the gimbal of the pod optoelectronic equipment to achieve pod suspension installation. In this process, since the drone itself is light and the field of view is poor during night flight, it is easy to collide, which causes the pod structure and the drone to deform and affect the flight trajectory. Therefore, a drone pod rack is proposed to solve the problem that the existing drone is easily damaged by collision during flight. Utility Model Content

[0025] Furthermore, four stabilizing arms 4 are disposed above the first riveting rod 2 and the second riveting rod 17 , and the four stabilizing arms 4 are disposed on the top of the first riveting rod 2 and the second riveting rod 17 by means of bolts 5 .

[0026] Furthermore, a plurality of alignment holes 3 are formed through the tops of the first riveting rod 2 and the second riveting rod 17 .

[0027] Furthermore, the alignment hole 3 can be respectively connected with two matching alignment rods 15 and two fixed connecting rods 9 through active connection. The alignment rods 15 and the fixed connecting rods 9 can be adjusted and fixed on the alignment hole to adapt to the specifications of different drones.

[0028] Furthermore, two alignment rods 15 are provided below the first riveted rod 2, and a searchlight 16 is provided at the bottom of the alignment rod 15.

[0031] Working principle: When using this drone pod rack, install the docking rod 1 on the bottom of the drone, turn on the searchlight 16, and connect the alignment rod 15 to the alignment hole 3 according to the required field of view of the drone. The closer the alignment hole 3 is to the docking rod 1, the smaller the field of view. On the contrary, the farther the alignment hole 3 is from the docking rod 1, the larger the field of view. This solves the field of view problem of the drone operator. During the flight of the drone, when the drone collides with an object due to careless operation, the force will first act on the buffer cylinder 8. At this time, the buffer cylinder 8 fitted with the outer ring of the connecting rod 6 will compress the buffer spring 7, buffering The impact spring 7 will rebound with the help of the first riveted rod 2 and the second riveted rod 17, thereby avoiding the shaking of the entire drone caused by a hard collision, solving the problem that the existing drones are easily damaged by collisions during flight; at the same time, when a collision occurs, the gimbal 14 will shake, the gimbal rod 12 will stretch the tension spring 10, and the tension spring 10 will use elasticity to buffer slight shaking, and the gimbal rod 12 will hit the sleeve rod 13, and the sleeve rod 13 will use the collision to disperse the impact force generated by the bending rod 11 and the fixed connecting rod 9 fixed in the alignment hole 3, thereby improving the stability of the entire pod.
