Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a compressed air landing unmanned aerial vehicle take-off and landing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A drone, also known as an unmanned aircraft, is an aircraft that flies in the air through a remote control or autonomous control system.

[0011] Preferably, the spring is located in the bottom groove, and the spring is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod to facilitate the spring to be compressed in the bottom groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

When the UAV body takes off, the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags downward through the two top air inlets, so that the helium in the two elastic helium bags is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes respectively, and then the two groups of pistons and connecting rods are synchronously pushed downward, so that the two groups of supporting foot plates generate downward force, and then the UAV body is generated with an upward boost force, which is convenient for the UAV body to take off; when the UAV body starts to land, the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags upward through the two bottom air inlets, so that the helium in the two elastic helium bags is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes respectively, and then the two groups of pistons and connecting rods are synchronously pushed downward, so that a part of the bottom of the two supporting foot plates extends out of the two supporting foot frames, and when the two supporting foot frames land and touch the ground, the two supporting foot plates have a buffering function, which is convenient for the UAV body to land stably on the ground.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 A compressed air landing drone landing mechanism includes a drone body 1, two supporting tripods 2 are arranged on the drone body 1, a mounting ring 3 is fixedly installed on the supporting tripod 2, a fixing cylinder 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting ring 3, an elastic helium bag 7 is fixedly sealed and bonded to the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 4, a sealing cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the fixing cylinder 4, the sealing cylinder 8 is connected to the elastic helium bag 7, a cylinder chamber 9 is opened in the sealing cylinder 8, a piston 10 is movably installed in the cylinder chamber 9, a bottom cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the supporting tripod 2, and the bottom side of the bottom cylinder 11 A bottom groove 12 is provided, in which a supporting foot plate 13 is movably installed. The supporting foot plate 13 is connected to the piston 10 through an elastic connection mechanism. The elastic connection mechanism includes a connecting rod 14 and a spring 15. One end of the connecting rod 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the piston 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 14 is movably extended into the bottom tube 11 and fixedly installed on the top side of the supporting foot plate 13. When the drone body 1 is placed on the ground, the two supporting foot plates 13 and the two supporting tripods 2 are all against the ground. At this time, the two groups of springs 15 are subjected to force to produce deformation and compression.

[0022] Furthermore, a top air inlet 5 is provided at the top of the fixed tube 4, and a bottom air inlet 6 is provided at the bottom of the fixed tube 4. When the drone body 1 takes off upward, the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags 7 downward through the two top air inlets 5, so that the air in the two elastic helium bags 7 is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes 8 respectively; when the drone body 1 lands downward, the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags 7 upward through the two bottom air inlets 6, so that the helium in the two elastic helium bags 7 is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes 8 respectively.

[0023] Furthermore, the elastic helium bag 7 is overlapped on the top of the sealing tube 8, and the interior of the elastic helium bag 7 is connected to the cylinder chamber 9 of the sealing tube 8, so as to facilitate the flow of helium between the helium filled in the elastic helium bag 7 and the cylinder chamber 9 of the sealing tube 8.

[0024] Furthermore, four supporting feet are respectively arranged on the outer surface of the supporting foot plate 13 , and the four supporting feet on the supporting foot plate 13 are distributed in a circular array. The four supporting feet on the two supporting foot plates 13 are convenient for supporting the drone body 1 .

[0025] Furthermore, the spring 15 is located in the bottom groove 12 , and the spring 15 is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod 14 , so that the spring 15 is compressed in the bottom groove 12 .

[0026] During use: before the drone body 1 takes off, the two supporting tripods 2 on the drone body 1 are attached to the ground. At this time, the two supporting foot plates 13 are also attached to the ground. At this time, the two groups of springs 15 are subjected to force to produce deformation and compression; the drone body 1 is controlled to take off upward by an external remote controller. During the upward take-off process of the drone body 1, the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags 7 downward through the two top air inlets 5, so that the helium in the two elastic helium bags 7 is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes 8 respectively, and then the two groups of pistons 10 and the connecting rod 14 are synchronously pushed downward, so that the two groups of supporting foot plates 13 generate a downward force. As the drone body 1 takes off and gradually leaves the ground, the two compressed springs 15 gradually return to their original positions, and the force of the two groups of springs 15 synchronously pushes the two supporting foot plates 13 to move downward, and the two groups of springs 15 are used to push the two supporting foot plates 13 downward. And realize to generate upward thrust to the drone body 1, and facilitate the take-off of the drone body 1; when the drone body 1 starts to land, the drone body 1 starts to descend, and the outside air presses the two elastic helium bags 7 upward through the two bottom air inlets 6, so that the helium in the two elastic helium bags 7 is squeezed into the corresponding sealing tubes 8 respectively, and then the two groups of pistons 10 and connecting rods 14 are synchronously pushed downward, so that a part of the bottom of the two supporting foot plates 13 extends out of the two supporting tripods 2. When the drone body 1 lands and starts to touch the ground, the two extended supporting foot plates 13 first touch the ground. At this time, the two springs 15 are deformed and compressed by the force, so that the two supporting foot plates 13 have a buffering function, until the two supporting foot plates 13 and the two supporting tripods 2 are all against the ground, and then the stable landing of the drone body 1 is completed.
