DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0036] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0038] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or position relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] At present, some aircraft are equipped with airborne payloads 200. The aircraft can release the airborne payloads 200 in the air and make the airborne payloads 200 fall at the target location to perform corresponding operations. For example, when fire extinguishing materials are provided in the airborne payload 200, the airborne payload 200 can be dropped to the fire location for fire extinguishing operations; when insecticides are provided in the airborne payload 200, the airborne payload 200 can be dropped to the target location for insecticide operations. In the prior art, the airborne payload 200 is usually mounted on the aircraft using a mounting device 100, and the airborne payload 200 is dropped through the mounting device 100. However, the structure of the existing mounting device 100 is often complex and has poor reliability. It is not convenient enough when installing the airborne payload 200, and it is easy to fail to drop the airborne payload 200.

[0042] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a mounting device 100 that achieves efficient mounting and reliable delivery of an airborne payload 200 through a stable structure.

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of a mounting device 100 and an airborne payload 200 (partial) in one embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the assembly of an onboard load 200 (partial) and a connecting member 150 in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used for mounting and dropping an airborne payload 200. The mounting device 100 includes a mounting mechanism and a connecting member 150, the connecting member 150 is arranged on the airborne payload 200, and a matching groove 151 is provided on the connecting member 150, and the matching groove 151 is used to cooperate with the mounting mechanism to realize the mounting of the airborne payload 200.

[0044] The mounting mechanism includes a rack 110, a driving member 130 and a bearing member 140. The rack 110 is used to connect the aircraft, the driving member 130 is arranged on the rack 110, the bearing member 140 is connected to the driving member 130 by transmission, and the driving member 130 is used to drive the bearing member 140 to move between a first position and a second position. A limiting structure is arranged on the rack 110, and the limiting structure is used to prevent the connecting member 150 from moving with the bearing member 140. The bearing member 140 can cooperate with the matching groove 151 of the connecting member 150 in the first position to support the connecting member 150 and realize the mounting of the onboard payload 200; the bearing member 140 can be disengaged from the matching groove 151 of the connecting member 150 in the second position to release the connecting member 150 and realize the delivery of the onboard payload 200.

[0045] It can be understood that when the bearing member 140 is in the first position, it can apply an upward supporting force to the connecting member 150 to balance the gravity of the connecting member 150 and the onboard load 200, thereby realizing the mounting of the onboard load 200. When the bearing member 140 is driven to move to the second position, the limiting structure limits the connecting member 150 so that the connecting member 150 does not move with the bearing member 140 when the bearing member 140 moves, and a relative slip occurs between the connecting member 150 and the bearing member 140. When the bearing member 140 moves to the second position, the bearing member 140 disengages from the matching groove 151, and finally the bearing member 140 separates from the connecting member 150, and the connecting member 150 loses the support of the bearing member 140, so that the connecting member 150 and the onboard load 200 fall under the action of gravity, realizing the delivery of the onboard load 200. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first position of the carrier 140 is equivalent to a locking position, which can support the connecting member 150 and ensure that the connecting member 150 and the airborne load 200 are stably mounted on the mounting mechanism; the second position is equivalent to an unlocking position, and the connecting member 150 and the airborne load 200 can fall off from the carrier 140 under the action of gravity.

[0046] Figure 3 for Figure 2The enlarged view of part III in the figure. Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the driving member 130 is used to drive the bearing member 140 to move in the first direction (i.e., the direction indicated by the arrows ab in the figure); the matching groove 151 includes a first section 1511 and a second section 1512 connected at an angle, so that the matching groove 151 is L-shaped. The first section 1511 extends along the first direction, and the second section 1512 is away from the first section 1511 to form an opening of the matching groove 151. The bearing member 140 includes a bearing pin 142 (see Figure 6 ), the bearing pin 142 is inserted into the matching groove 151 along the second direction (i.e., the direction indicated by the arrow cd in the figure), and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The bearing member 140 can abut against the side wall of the first section 1511 to support the connecting member 150 when in the first position, and the bearing member 140 can move relative to the connecting member 150 along the second section 1512 when in the second position to disengage from the matching groove 151 from the opening of the matching groove 151. When the onboard payload 200 is in a normal mounting posture, the first section 1511 of the matching groove 151 has an upper and a lower side wall. When the supporting member 140 is in the first position, the supporting pin 142 is located in the first section 1511 and can abut against the upper side wall of the first section 1511 upward to support the connecting member 150; when the supporting member 140 is in the second position, the supporting pin 142 is located at the connecting position between the first section 1511 and the second section 1512. Since the second section 1512 has a vertical extension and an end away from the first section 1511 has an upward opening, the supporting pin 142 can slide along the second section 1512 and finally move out of the matching groove 151 from the opening, thereby separating the connecting member 150 from the supporting member 140.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second section 1512 extends along the third direction (the direction indicated by the arrow ef in the figure), and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. In actual application of this embodiment, the first direction is the front-back direction of the aircraft, the second direction is the left-right direction of the aircraft, and the third direction is the up-down direction of the aircraft, that is, the gravity direction. In this embodiment, the connecting member 150 is a plate extending along the first direction, and the matching groove 151 penetrates the connecting member 150 along the second direction. By setting the connecting member 150 as a plate extending along the first direction, it is helpful to reduce the wind resistance during the driving process of the aircraft.

[0048] In this embodiment, the airborne payload 200 is mounted by the cooperation between the first section 1511 of the L-shaped matching slot 151 and the supporting pin 142 , and the airborne payload 200 is released by driving the supporting pin 142 to move to the second section 1512 of the matching slot 151 . In other optional embodiments, the structural shape of the mating groove 151 is not limited thereto. For example, the mating groove 151 may be a groove body extending along the first direction, with an opening also facing the first direction. When the supporting pin 142 is inserted into the mating groove 151, it abuts against the upper wall surface of the mating groove 151; when the supporting pin 142 moves out of the mating groove 151 along the first direction, unlocking is achieved; or, the mating groove 151 is a groove body with a wider bottom and a narrower opening (such as a dovetail groove), the mating groove 151 extends along the first direction, with the opening facing upward, and at least one end of the mating groove 151 in the first direction is open to form an opening, and the supporting member 140 has a mating portion matching the shape of the mating groove 151. When the mating portion is in the mating groove 151, it cannot be detached from the narrower opening. When the mating portion slides along the mating groove 151 and moves out of the opening, the mating portion and the mating groove 151 are released from the mating, thereby unlocking, that is, the delivery of the onboard payload 200 is achieved.

[0049] Optionally, the bearing member 140 includes at least two bearing pins 142 spaced apart in the first direction, and the connecting member 150 is provided with matching grooves 151 equal in number to and corresponding to the bearing pins 142. By providing a plurality of bearing pins 142 and matching grooves 151, the bearing member 140 can support the connecting member 150 at multiple points, thereby improving the stability of the onboard payload 200 in the mounted state. In this embodiment, two matching grooves 151 are provided on the connecting member 150, and the bearing member 140 includes two bearing pins 142.

[0050] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a mounting mechanism in an embodiment of the present application at a first viewing angle; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a mounting mechanism in an embodiment of the present application at a second viewing angle; Figure 6 This is an exploded view of a mounting mechanism in one embodiment of the present application. Figures 4 to 6As shown, the mounting frame 110 of the mounting mechanism of the embodiment of the present application includes a frame body 111 and a mounting seat 120 connected to the frame body 111, the frame body 111 is used to connect the aircraft, and the driving member 130 is arranged on the mounting seat 120. The frame body 111 includes a first mounting plate 112 and a second mounting plate 113 arranged at intervals and a plurality of connecting posts 114 connected between the first mounting plate 112 and the second mounting plate 113, the first mounting plate 112 is used to connect the aircraft, and the mounting seat 120 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 113 away from the first mounting plate 112. In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting post 114 have screw holes respectively, one end of the connecting post 114 is connected to the first mounting plate 112 by a first screw 115, and the other end of the connecting post 114 is connected to the second mounting plate 113 by a second screw 116.

[0051] The frame 111 is formed by the first mounting plate 112, the second mounting plate 113 and the connecting column 114, so that there are many hollow areas in the frame 111, which can reduce the weight of the frame 111 and reduce wind resistance. The first mounting plate 112 and the second mounting plate 113 can be made of metal to improve the structural strength; the mounting seat 120 can be welded to the second mounting plate 113. Optionally, the first mounting plate 112 and / or the second mounting plate 113 are provided with weight-reducing holes 1131 to further reduce the weight of the frame 111; specifically, in this embodiment, the second mounting plate 113 is provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 1131.

[0052] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a mounting mechanism in an embodiment of the present application under a third viewing angle. Figure 7As shown, the mounting seat 120 of this embodiment is provided with a slot 121, and the slot 121 is used to be plugged and matched with the connecting member 150 in the third direction, and the mounting seat 120 forms a limiting structure. The mounting seat 120 is provided with a slide groove 122, which extends along the first direction and penetrates the side wall of the slot 121 in the second direction. The driving member 130 is arranged outside the slide groove 122, and the bearing pin 142 extends into the slot 121 through the slide groove 122 and matches with the matching groove 151 of the connecting member 150. In this embodiment, since the connecting member 150 is inserted into the slot 121, the connecting member 150 can only move in the depth direction of the slot 121 (that is, the third direction) relative to the slot 121 when the bearing member 140 is in the second position. In the process of the bearing member 140 moving from the first position to the second position, the connecting member 150 is restricted by the mounting seat 120 (specifically, it is restricted by the inner wall abutment at one end of the slot 121 in the first direction), so that the connecting member 150 cannot move with the bearing member 140 in the first direction, so the connecting member 150 and the bearing member 140 can produce relative sliding to achieve unlocking. Since the mounting seat 120 restricts the movement of the connecting member 150 with the bearing member 140, a limiting structure is formed. In this embodiment, the mounting seat 120 with the slot 121 not only restricts the movement of the connecting member 150 in the first direction, but also restricts its movement in the second direction, thereby improving the stability of the airborne load 200 in the mounted state. In addition, when the airborne load 200 is installed on the mounting mechanism, the slot 121 plays a positioning role, which is convenient for the operator to find the installation position of the connecting member 150, thereby improving the installation efficiency. In this embodiment, the shape of the slot 121 is adapted to the connector 150 , and is a flat cavity extending along the first direction, so as to better limit the connector 150 and improve the stability of the connector 150 after being inserted into the slot 121 .

[0053] It should be understood that the limiting structure may not be formed by the mounting seat 120, but may be provided on other structures of the frame 111. For example, a limiting plate is provided on the lower surface of the second mounting plate 113 of the frame 111, and when the bearing member 140 moves from the first position to the second position, the limiting plate abuts against the connecting member 150 to prevent it from moving with the bearing member 140.

[0054] Furthermore, in order to enable the connector 150 to be smoothly disengaged from the slot 121, in this embodiment, an elastic member 117 is provided in the slot 121, and the elastic member 117 is used to apply a force to the connector 150 to move out of the slot 121. In this case, the connector 150 inserted in the slot 121 is always subjected to the force from the elastic member 117, and has a tendency to move out of the slot 121. When the bearing member 140 moves to the second position, the connector 150 is in an unlocked state, and the elastic member 117 can actively push it out of the slot 121 to achieve the delivery of the airborne payload 200. The provision of the elastic member 117 can improve the problem that the airborne payload 200 is not delivered smoothly due to the tight fit between the connector 150 and the mounting slot. Moreover, the posture of the aircraft may not be horizontal when dropping the airborne payload 200, and the opening of the slot 121 is not facing vertically downward. Therefore, it is possible that the airborne payload 200 cannot fall off smoothly from the slot 121 simply by relying on gravity. The provision of the elastic member 117 can avoid the problem that the airborne payload 200 cannot fall off smoothly from the slot 121 in the above situation.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic member 117 is a spring. An avoidance hole 1132 is provided on the second mounting plate 113, and the avoidance hole 1132 runs through the bottom of the slot 121. One end of the elastic member 117 is connected to the pressure plate 118, and the other end extends from the avoidance hole 1132 into the slot 121, which is used to abut the connecting member 150. The pressure plate 118 is connected to the side of the second mounting plate 113 away from the mounting seat 120 through the third screw 119. In this embodiment, the mounting mechanism is provided with two elastic members 117; in other embodiments, the number of elastic members 117 can be increased or decreased as needed, and the type of elastic member 117 can also be adjusted as needed, such as a torsion spring, an elastic block, etc., which can provide a force for the connecting member 150 to move out of the slot 121.

Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The driving member 130 of this embodiment is an electric push rod, and the driving member 130 has a fixed end 1301 and a movable end 1302. The fixed end 1301 is connected to the bracket 110, and the movable end 1302 is connected to the bearing member 140. Specifically, the driving member 130 includes a fixed seat 131 and a push rod 132 inserted in the fixed seat 131. The fixed end 1301 of the driving member 130 is formed on the fixed seat 131, and the movable end 1302 of the driving member 130 is formed at an end of the push rod 132 away from the fixed seat 131. In this embodiment, the push rod 132 of the driving member 130 can realize telescopic movement under electric drive, thereby driving the bearing member 140 to move between the first position and the second position. In this embodiment, the fixed end 1301 of the driving member 130 is connected to the mounting seat 120 through the fourth screw 133, and the movable end 1302 is connected to the bearing member 140 through the fifth screw 134.

[0057] In this embodiment, the bearing member 140 includes a rod body 141 and a bearing pin 142, the rod body 141 extends along the first direction, the bearing pin 142 is arranged on the rod body 141, and the driving member 130 (specifically, its movable end 1302) is transmission-connected with the rod body 141. The bearing member 140 in this embodiment includes two bearing pins 142, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the rod body 141 and extend along the second direction.

[0058] Furthermore, a slide groove 122 is respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the slot 121 in the second direction, and the bearing pin 142 passes through the two slide grooves 122 and the slot 121 between the two slide grooves 122. It should be understood that in this embodiment, the slide groove 122 on the side of the mounting seat 120 close to the driving member 130 is for the bearing pin 142 to extend into the slot 121 and cooperate with the matching groove 151 of the connecting member 150. At the same time, the lower side wall of the slide groove 122 also plays a role in supporting the bearing pin 142 to prevent the gravity load of the onboard load 200 from being excessively applied to the driving member 130. The slide groove 122 on the side of the mounting seat 120 far from the driving member 130 also plays a role in supporting the bearing pin 142.

[0059] In this embodiment, the end of the bearing pin 142 is detachably connected to a limiting member 143, and the limiting member 143 is used to abut against the outer surface of the mounting seat 120 to limit the bearing pin 142 from being withdrawn from the slide slot 122. In this embodiment, the limiting member 143 is a screw, which is installed on the end surface of the bearing pin 142 away from the rod body 141. The head width of the screw as the limiting member 143 is greater than the width of the slide slot 122, so the bearing pin 142 can be prevented from being withdrawn from the slide slot 122.

[0060] Furthermore, two gaskets 144 are sleeved on each bearing pin 142, one of which is located between the rod body 141 and the mounting seat 120, and the other is located between the stopper 143 and the mounting seat 120. The gasket 144 can reduce the wear of the stopper 143, the rod body 141 and the mounting seat 120. The gasket 144 can be made of Teflon.

[0061] The method of using the mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0062] When installing the airborne load 200, the driving member 130 is first controlled to move the bearing member 140 to the second position, and then the connecting member 150 on the airborne load 200 is inserted into the slot 121 of the mounting seat 120. Since the bearing pin 142 is in the unlocked position at this time, the opening of the matching slot 151 of the connecting member 150 is directly opposite to the bearing pin 142. During the process of inserting the connecting member 150 into the slot 121, the bearing pin 142 moves along the second section 1512 of the matching slot 151 to the position where the first section 1511 and the second section 1512 are connected. Then the driving member 130 is controlled to drive the bearing member 140 to the first position. During this process, the bearing pin 142 moves along the first direction into the first section 1511 of the matching slot 151. Thereafter, the bearing pin 142 can abut against the inner side wall of the first section 1511 of the matching slot 151, thereby supporting the connecting member 150, and thus achieving the mounting of the airborne load 200. When the airborne load 200 needs to be released, the driving member 130 is controlled to move the bearing member 140 from the first position to the second position. During this process, the connecting member 150 will not move with the bearing member 140 under the limiting effect of the slot 121 of the mounting seat 120, so the bearing pin 142 can move to the second section 1512 of the matching slot 151. After that, the connecting member 150 can be separated from the slot 121 under the gravity of itself and the airborne load 200 and the elastic force of the elastic member 117. During this process, the bearing pin 142 no longer supports the connecting member 150, but slides out of the matching slot 151 along the second section 1512 of the matching slot 151. It can be seen that the mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can efficiently realize the mounting and release of the airborne load 200.

[0063] In summary, the mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a mounting mechanism and a connecting member 150. The connecting member 150 is arranged on the airborne payload 200, and a matching groove 151 is provided on the connecting member 150. The mounting mechanism includes a pylon 110, a driving member 130 and a bearing member 140. The pylon 110 is used to connect the aircraft, the driving member 130 is arranged on the pylon 110, and the bearing member 140 is connected to the driving member 130 by transmission. The driving member 130 is used to drive the bearing member 140 to move between a first position and a second position. A limiting structure is provided on the pylon 110, and the limiting structure is used to prevent the connecting member 150 from moving with the bearing member 140. The bearing member 140 can cooperate with the matching groove 151 of the connecting member 150 in the first position to support the connecting member 150 and realize the mounting of the airborne payload 200; the bearing member 140 can be separated from the matching groove 151 in the second position to release the connecting member 150 and realize the delivery of the airborne payload 200. The mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application drives the bearing member 140 through the driving member 130, and prevents the connecting member 150 from moving with the bearing member 140 through the limiting structure, so that when the bearing member 140 is matched with the matching groove 151 and supports the connecting member 150, it can still move relative to the connecting member 150 under the drive of the driving member 130, thereby releasing the matching groove 151, realizing the release of the connecting member 150, and realizing the delivery of the airborne payload 200. When installing the airborne payload 200, the bearing member 140 can be driven to the second position first, and then the connecting member 150 can be installed to the assembly position so that the matching groove 151 is matched with the bearing member 140, and then the bearing member 140 is driven to move to the first position to support the airborne payload 200, so as to realize the mounting of the airborne payload 200. The mounting device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has good structural stability and can efficiently and reliably realize the mounting and delivery of the airborne payload 200.
