DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0032] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention rather than requiring that the present invention must be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. The terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", and "down" used in the description of the present invention refer to the directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0033] The present application changes the traditional process and uses hot plate welding to completely weld and bond the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21 together to form a whole with no gaps around, thus avoiding failures such as moisture in the internal components of the main cover body caused by weather and environmental factors.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a drone shell includes a left cover 1 and a right cover 2, the left cover 1 includes a left cover body 11, the connection surface of the outer circle of the left cover body 11 is provided with a connection groove 111, the connection surface of the left cover body 11 is provided with a rib 112, and the rib 112 protrudes outward from the connection surface of the left cover body 11; the right cover 2 includes a right cover body 21, the connection surface of the outer circle of the right cover body 21 is provided with a connection rib, and the connection surface of the right cover body 21 is provided with a rib groove; the connection rib is hot-melt connected to the connection groove 111, and the rib 112 is hot-melt connected to the rib groove, so that the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21 are connected to form a main cover body.

[0035] The drone shell of the present application is designed with protruding ribs 112 on the connecting surface of the left cover body 11, and a connecting groove 111 is designed on the outer circle of the connecting surface, and a matching groove body and connecting convex rib are designed on the connecting surface of the right cover body 21. The ribs 112 and the connecting convex rib are heated and inserted into the corresponding groove bodies to connect the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21. The hot melt connection can ensure that the two are connected into a whole, so that the two are permanently connected; the outer circle connection ensures sealing, and the internal connection strengthens the connection effect.

[0036] In a further embodiment, the size of the notch of the connection groove 111 gradually increases toward the side away from the left cover body 11. The size of the connection rib may be opposite, that is, the size of the connection rib gradually decreases toward the side away from the right cover body 21. The size of the connection rib may also remain unchanged, in which case the size of its outer end portion needs to be slightly larger than the size of the root of the connection groove 111.

[0037] On the one hand, this design makes it easy to insert the connecting rib into the connecting groove 111, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the connecting rib and the connecting groove 111 are tightly connected, forming an interference fit at the bottom of the connecting groove, and the sealing effect can be guaranteed without adding an additional sealing ring.

[0038] Similarly, the size of the notch of the rib groove gradually increases toward the side away from the right cover body 21, and the size of the corresponding rib 112 gradually decreases toward the side away from the left cover body 21, or the size of the rib 112 remains unchanged. This design can also facilitate the rib 112 to be inserted into the rib groove.

[0039] This design effectively achieves the sealing of the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21. The two plastic covers are melted by the hot plate and then quickly put together, and then pressed together. The plastics on the joint surfaces of the two products are melted by the heat, fixed and bonded into a whole. The cost of using screws to fix each other is saved, and the gap between the products due to the lack of bonding will cause the internal parts to be damp due to factors such as weather and environment, which will cause malfunctions.

[0040] In one embodiment, a left accommodating cavity 113 is further provided on the connection surface of the left cover body 11, and a right accommodating cavity matched with the left accommodating cavity 113 is further provided on the connection surface of the right cover body 12; when the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21 are connected to form a main cover body, the left accommodating cavity 113 and the right accommodating cavity form a whole cavity. The whole cavity is used to install components such as sensors and circuit boards. Since the whole cavity is sealed, the safety of components such as circuit boards can be ensured. The external wiring part of the components can be connected to the outside through the reserved interface on the main cover body, and the sealing at the reserved interface can be achieved by a sealing ring or other later-added seals.

[0041] Furthermore, there may be multiple whole cavities, that is, there may be multiple left accommodating cavities 113 and multiple right accommodating cavities. The whole cavity structure formed by the smaller left accommodating cavity 113 and the right accommodating cavity has a stronger size, while the whole cavity structure formed by the larger left accommodating cavity 113 and the right accommodating cavity may have a weaker strength. In this case, the structural strength may be strengthened by setting a reinforcing rib plate 114 between the wall of the left accommodating cavity 113 and the left cover main body 11. Similarly, the structural strength may be strengthened by setting a reinforcing rib plate between the wall of the right accommodating cavity and the right cover main body 21.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 3 , 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the left cover body 11 is integrally formed with a left connection part 12, and the bottom of the right cover body 21 is integrally formed with a right connection part 22; when the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21 are connected to form the main cover body, an installation space 4 for installing casters is formed between the left connection part 12 and the right connection part 22. The installation space 4 can also be covered by an outer cover 5. The outer cover 5 has a side connection surface that matches the shape of the side surface of the main cover body and a bottom connection surface that matches the shape of the left connection part 12 and the right connection part 22; a buckle 51 is provided on the side connection surface, and a card slot 00 is provided on the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21. The buckle 51 is engaged with the card slot 00 on the left cover body 11 and the card slot 00 on the right cover body 21 to realize the connection of the outer cover 5. The bottom surface of the outer cover 5 is slidably connected to the top surface of the left connection part 12 and the right connection part 22. When installing the outer cover 5, place the outer cover 5 on the top surface of the left connecting part 12 and the right connecting part 22 and slide the outer cover 5 to make the outer cover 5 close to the main cover body. After the outer cover 5 is in place, the outer cover 5 is installed by the cooperation of the buckle 51 and the slot 00.

[0043] Since the outer cover 5 is connected to the main cover body, in order to ensure the structural strength of the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21, the present application also designs a reinforcement. Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcement is a metal reinforcement 3, and its structural strength is greater than that of the left cover body 11 and the right cover body 21. The metal reinforcement 3 is connected to the connecting surface of the left cover body 11 and the connecting surface of the right cover body 21 by screws to ensure the overall structural strength.

[0044] The metal reinforcement 3 is a plate-shaped herringbone structure, and the bifurcated end of the metal reinforcement 3 is located at the lower part of the left cover body 11 or the lower part of the right cover body 21. Since the left cover body 11 is connected to the left connecting part 12 at the lower part, and the right cover body 21 is designed with the right connecting part 22 at the lower part, the overall strength of the structure can be ensured by bifurcating the lower part of the metal reinforcement 3.

[0045] In one embodiment, the present application discloses a drone, which includes the drone housing provided by any embodiment of the present application.

[0046] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed above are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
