The two landing gears are rotatably connected to one of the brackets respectively, and the upper end of each landing gear is inserted into the groove. A rotating shaft is rotatably passed through the upper end of the landing gear, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are inserted into the brackets at the two ends of the groove and have an interference fit with the bracket. A torsion spring for driving the landing gear to rotate outward is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft between the inner wall of the groove and the bracket. One end of the torsion spring is inserted into the inner wall of the groove, and the other end is inserted into the upper end of the landing gear. A locking structure for locking the landing gear after the landing gear is folded inward is arranged between the landing gear and the drone body.

[0004] However, in actual use, although this method can prevent the landing gear of the drone from being broken during carrying, the speed of the drone may be relatively fast during landing, which makes the impulse larger. Since the drone landing gear has no shock absorbing mechanism, the landing gear may be easily broken during the descent. Utility Model Content

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.

[0024] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 A shock-absorbing landing gear for an unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a bracket 1, a support plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bracket 1, a shock-absorbing mechanism 3 is arranged at the lower end of the support plate 2, a buffer mechanism 4 is arranged at the lower end of the support plate 2, a rubber cushion 5 is arranged below the support plate 2, a mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 1, and a mounting groove 7 is opened at the upper end of the mounting plate 6.

[0027] The shock absorbing mechanism 3 includes a fixed groove 301, which is provided at the lower end of the support plate 2, a box body 302 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the fixed groove 301, a liquid 303 is arranged inside the box body 302, a floating ball 304 is arranged inside the box body 302, a friction particle plate 305 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the box body 302, a shock absorbing groove 306 is provided at the lower end of the support plate 2, a fixed block 307 is arranged inside the shock absorbing groove 306, a spring 308 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed block 307, and the spring 308 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rubber cushion 5, By using the box body 302, liquid 303, float 304 and friction particle plate 1 305 and other parts in combination, the liquid 303 is moved in the box body 302 and the float 304 is rubbed with the particle friction plate 1 during use, thereby generating particle damping for shock reduction effect, and by rubbing with the spring 308, friction particle plate 2 311, shock absorbing groove 306 and rubber ring 313 to generate longitudinal damping, thereby reducing the shock of the landing gear when the drone takes off and lands, thereby preventing the landing gear from breaking during the take-off and landing process.

[0028] Furthermore, sliders 309 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the fixed block 307, and sliding grooves 310 are opened on the left and right ends of the inner wall of the shock-absorbing groove 306. The slider 309 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 310. By using the slider 309 and the sliding groove 310, the slider 309 is limited in the sliding groove 310, so that it can only move in the up and down directions, so that the slider 309 contacts the friction particle plate 311 to generate damping.

[0029] Furthermore, a friction particle plate 2 311 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the slide groove 310, the left end of the slider 309 fits with the right end of the friction particle plate 2 311, and the side wall of the float 304 fits with the lower end of the friction particle plate 1 305. By using the float 304, the float 304 can contact the friction particle plate 1 305 during the movement, thereby generating damping, and the liquid 303 is placed in the box body 302, which can generate particle damping and enhance its shock absorption effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper end of the rubber pad 5 is fixedly connected to a connecting column 312, and the outer wall of the connecting column 312 is fixedly connected to a rubber ring 313. By using the connecting column 312, the rubber ring 313 fixed by the outer wall of the connecting column 312 can be moved in the limiting groove 314 to generate friction, thereby facilitating the use of damping for shock reduction.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting groove 314 is provided at the lower end of the support plate 2, and the outer wall of the rubber ring 313 is matched with the inner wall of the limiting groove 314. By using the limiting groove 314, the rubber ring 313 is limited so that the rubber ring 313 can only move up and down, thereby limiting the moving direction.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Combination Figure 1-5 On the basis of the first embodiment, the buffer mechanism 4 further comprises a square groove 401, the square groove 401 is provided at the lower end of the support plate 2, a motor 402 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the square groove 401, a fan 403 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 402, and an air inlet 404 is provided at the upper end of the support plate 2. By using the motor 402, the fan 403, the retracting hole 406 and other parts in combination, it is convenient for the UAV to have a large speed impulse during the landing process. At this time, the motor 402 can be used to drive the fan 403 to blow the wind out from the retracting hole 406 to produce a buffering effect on the resistance generated during the descent process, so that the UAV can land more safely.

[0034] Furthermore, a filter screen 405 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet hole 404, and a gathering hole 406 is opened at the upper end of the rubber pad 5. The size of the square groove 401 is adapted to the size of the gathering hole 406. By using the gathering hole 406, the wind blown out by the fan 403 can be gathered in the gathering hole 406, and then the gathering hole 406 blows air to the bottom of the rubber pad 5, so that the stones below are blown away.

[0035] In actual operation, when this device is used, when the drone is falling, first, its motor 402 can be turned on, so that the motor 402 rotates and drives the fan 403 to rotate, and the air inlet 404 is blocked by the filter 405 to prevent fine particles from entering. The wind blown out by the fan 403 is blown out by the gathering hole 406, which can blow away the stones below, and then land. During the landing process, first the float 304 moves in the liquid 303, and while rubbing against its friction particle plate 1 305, its liquid 303 also moves in the box body 302, thereby generating particle damping, which is convenient for the drone to perform lateral shock absorption. When the drone touches the ground, the spring 308 is compressed, so that the slider 309 contacts the friction particle plate 2 311 in the slide groove 310, thereby generating longitudinal damping. Secondly, the rubber ring 313 fixed outside the connecting column 312 will also move in the limit groove 314, generating damping again, and performing secondary longitudinal shock absorption on the landing gear.

Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
