[0021] 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.

[0022] In order to solve the problem that the installation method of the expansion bracket is relatively cumbersome in the existing technology, it takes a long time to install the equipment in the field, and there is a risk of screws being lost, resulting in the inability to install. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment proposes a UAV quick-detachable expansion bracket, which is used to connect the external expansion module 1 and the UAV body 5. The UAV quick-detachable expansion bracket includes a mounting platform 21 and screws. The two side edges of the mounting platform 21 respectively have front legs 23 for connecting to the front side of the side wall of the UAV body 5, and rear legs 24 for connecting to the rear side of the side wall of the UAV body 5;

[0023] In this embodiment, the end of one of the rear legs 24 is a buckle 3, the end of the front leg 23 has a through hole, the side of the drone body 5 has a screw hole 5 and a slot 51, the buckle 3 is mounted in the slot 51, and the screw passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole 5 on the side of the drone body 5.

[0024] In other embodiments, the buckle 3 and the through hole may be swapped and the positions of the screw hole 5 and the slot 51 may be adjusted accordingly.

[0025] In this embodiment, the main body of the mounting platform 21 is a rectangular plate-like structure, and the middle part thereof has a hollow area 22. When the expansion bracket body 2 is pressed on the top of the drone body 5, the external expansion module 1 can be received on the drone body 5 through the expansion bracket body 2. The conductive line or quick electrical connection structure of the external expansion module 1 and the internal module of the drone body 5 can pass through the mounting platform 21 through the hollow area 22, so that the external expansion module 1 and the internal module of the drone body 5 are electrically connected to exchange data or supply power to the external expansion module 1.

[0026] The front legs 23 and the rear legs 24 are strip-shaped sheets that can be elastically deformed. The elastic deformation of the front legs 23 and the rear legs 24 can provide an easier clamping of the expansion bracket body 2 on both sides of the drone body 5.

[0027] Preferably, the connection between the mounting platform 21 and the front legs 23 and / or the rear legs 24 is chamfered. Since the thickness of the chamfer is consistent with the thickness of the mounting platform 21, the front legs 23 and the rear legs 24, it can also be understood that the chamfer, the mounting platform 21, and the front legs 23 and the rear legs 24 are all integrally stamped metal brackets, or integrally formed plastic parts by injection molding.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, when in use, first connect the external expansion module 1 with the expansion bracket body 2, then install the expansion bracket body 2 from top to bottom on the drone body 5, and fix it with the slot 51 on the side of the drone body 5 through the expansion bracket buckle 3; then tighten the screws to fix it with the drone body 5. This drone quick-detachable expansion bracket can solve the complicated and cumbersome installation process. The rear support leg 24 is quickly connected with the drone body 5 through the buckle 3, and the front support leg 23 is screwed and connected with the side of the drone body 5 through the pre-buried hand-tightening bolts, which greatly improves the working efficiency of the drone.

[0029] Preferably, the screw is a hand screw 4 , which can realize tool-free disassembly and assembly of the expansion bracket body 2 .

[0030] In addition, a pre-embedded mounting column 231 is provided on the outer side of the end of the front support leg 23. The pre-embedded mounting column 231 has an axially opened threaded hole. The threaded hole has the same axis as the through hole. The hand screw 4 is pre-embedded in the threaded hole of the pre-embedded mounting column 231. When installing the expansion bracket body 2, the screw can be pre-embedded in the threaded hole of the pre-embedded mounting column 231 to prevent the screw from being lost.

[0031] 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.
