Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a unmanned aerial vehicle with RTK positioning. Background Art
[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft that are controlled by radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices. Compared with manned aircraft, they have the advantages of small size, low cost, easy use, low requirements for combat environment, and strong battlefield survivability. In recent years, with the advancement of technology, the UAV industry has also developed rapidly, and it has gradually been applied to many fields such as aerial photography and mapping, police work, and firefighting and disaster relief.

[0014] Preferably, a pressure relief hole is installed on the airbag, and a plug is installed on the pressure relief hole.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when testing whether the air bag is airtight, the air pump is used to inflate the vent pipe into the air bag, changing the deflated state into an inflated state. After the test is completed, the plug is opened to manually deflate.
[0016] Preferably, the ventilation pipe is tied to the surrounding frame by cable ties.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation pipe is tied to the frame to prevent the ventilation pipe from being messy or deviating and disturbing the normal flight of the UAV.

[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0030] This embodiment provides a drone with RTK positioning. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a drone body 1, a propeller transmission part, an arm 3, an RTK helical antenna 4 and a buffer component 5; the arm 3 is installed on the four sides of the drone body; the propeller transmission part 2 is installed on the end of each arm 3 away from the drone body 1; the RTK helical antenna 4 is installed on the side of the arm 3 away from the propeller transmission part 2; the buffer component 5 is installed at the bottom of the drone body 1, and is used to improve buffering and vibration during emergency landing; wherein, the buffer component 5 includes a first buffer part 6 and a second buffer part 7; the first buffer part 6 is installed on the bottom of the drone body 1, and is used for preliminary indirect buffering of vibration; the second buffer part 7 is installed on the first buffer part 6, and is in direct contact with the ground for emergency landing for buffering.
[0031] RTK (Real-time kinematic) carrier phase differential technology is a differential method for real-time processing of carrier phase observations of two measuring stations. The carrier phase collected by the base station is sent to the user receiver to calculate the coordinates. This is a new and commonly used satellite positioning measurement method. The previous static, fast static, and dynamic measurements all required post-calculation to obtain centimeter-level accuracy. RTK is a measurement method that can obtain centimeter-level positioning accuracy in real time in the field. It uses a carrier phase dynamic real-time differential method and is a major milestone in GPS applications. Its appearance has brought new measurement principles and methods to engineering layout, topographic mapping, and various control measurements, greatly improving work efficiency. The RTK helical antenna 4 is used as a bridge for signal transmission. The use of RTK positioning drones is more accurate when conducting surveys and positioning.
[0032] During the flight of the drone, it is inevitable that some special situations or failures will occur, which may cause the drone to make an emergency landing. When making an emergency landing on the ground, the second buffer part 7 on the drone body 1 will first contact and collide with the ground. The second buffer part 7 can play a good role in buffering and reducing vibration. At the same time, the first buffer part 6 and the second buffer part 7 are opened synchronously. The first buffer part 6 will push the second buffer part 7 to contact the ground, reducing the degree of collision and wear between the ground and the drone body 1. The double buffering and vibration reduction will effectively minimize the damage to the drone body 1, and the first buffer part 6 and the second buffer part 7 will not affect the drone body 1 during normal flight.
[0033] The first buffer part 6 includes a base frame 8, an air pump 9, an airbag 10 and a ventilation tube 11. The base frame 8 is installed on the bottom of the drone body 1, the air pump 9 is installed on the base frame 8, the output end of the air pump 9 is connected to the ventilation tube 11, and the airbag 10 is installed on the base frame 8.
[0034] The air inlet end of the ventilation pipe 11 is connected to the air pump 9. The ventilation pipe 11 has four air outlet ends, which are respectively connected to each air bag 10 on the base frame 8. After the air pump 9 is turned on, the air pump 9 inflates the air inlet end of the ventilation pipe 11 and transports it to each air bag 10 along four channels, so that the air bag 10 changes from a deflated state to a bulged state.
[0035] The chassis 8 includes a frame 12 and legs 13. The frame 12 is mounted on the drone body 1. The legs 13 are mounted around the frame 12. A channel is passed through the legs 13. The airbag 10 is arranged in the channel of the legs 13. The frame 12 serves as a support for the ventilating tube 11 to rely on and position, and the legs 13 are used as a storage area for the deflated airbag 10.
[0036] The second buffer part 7 includes a spring 14 and a buffer pad 15, the two ends of the spring 14 are connected to the airbag 10 and the buffer pad 15 respectively, and the buffer pad 15 is engaged with the channel on the leg 13. The spring 14 and the buffer pad 15 are pushed out into the leg 13 by the inflation of the airbag 10, and the spring 14 and the buffer pad 15 are in direct contact with the ground, and the spring 14 and the buffer pad 15 perform repeated vibration rebound motion outside the leg 13.
[0037] The airbag 10 is provided with a pressure relief hole, and the pressure relief hole is provided with a plug 16. When the air tightness of the airbag 10 is tested, the vent pipe 11 is inflated by the air pump 9 to reach the airbag 10, and the air is changed from a deflated state to a bulged state. After the test is completed, the plug 16 is opened for manual deflation.
[0038] The vent pipe 11 is tied to the surrounding frame 12 by cable ties. The vent pipe 11 is tied to the frame 12 to prevent the vent pipe 11 from being messy or eccentric and disturbing the normal flight of the drone.
[0039] The spring 14 is arranged on the buffer pad 15 in a triangular shape, and the cross section of the spring 14 is small at the top and large at the bottom. There are three springs 14, and the springs 14 are small at the top and large at the bottom, which is convenient for vibration and buffering in the vertical direction when subjected to external force.
[0040] When the drone body 1 is hit by a sudden external accident or failure, the first buffer first pushes the second buffer part 7 to directly contact the ground, avoiding the destructive force of wear caused by direct collision between the drone and the road surface. Combined with the first and second buffer parts 7, the continuous vibration buffering can minimize the damage to the drone body 1 and the economic cost loss during emergency landing, and protect the shooting lens from being broken and reduce the damage to the parts on the drone as much as possible.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
