Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aircraft, and in particular to a landing support leg of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aircraft. Background Art
[0002] An unmanned aerial vehicle is an unmanned aircraft that is controlled by a radio remote control device and a self-contained program control device, or is operated completely or intermittently autonomously by an onboard computer. It consists of a fuselage, wings and propellers, a power system, a flight control system, a communication system, and loading equipment. The landing gear is part of the fuselage to facilitate the landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
[0003] In the current field of UAV technology, the vibration of UAVs during takeoff and landing cannot be reduced well, and the landing gear is too heavy, which cannot meet people's usage needs well.
[0004] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with a publication number of CN214930585U is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in the patent document is as follows: a bottom frame of a drone, a servo motor is arranged on the left side of the inside of the bottom frame of the drone, a second gear is arranged above the first gear, a screw is arranged on the right side of the rotating shaft, a guide groove is arranged above the screw slider, a first locking pin is arranged below the screw slider, a second locking pin is arranged below the first connecting rod, a shock absorbing cylinder is arranged below the frame buckle, and a third locking pin is arranged on the right side of the third locking pin. There is a second connecting rod, and a hydraulic cylinder is arranged on the upper part of the shock-absorbing cylinder. Compared with the existing ordinary drones, the drone with a landing leg structure of the present invention is provided with a shock-absorbing cylinder, and a spring is arranged on the upper part of the shock-absorbing cylinder. When the wheel buckle is lifted and landed and receives impact force, the lifting column presses the spring upward through the first piston to have a first layer of shock absorption, and there is a second layer of shock absorption that compresses the air in the shock-absorbing cylinder. The two shock absorptions can greatly increase the shock absorption effect, but there will still be a problem that the area of contact between the structure of the prior art and the ground is small, thereby affecting the stability of the placement of the drone aircraft. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a landing support leg for a UAV aircraft to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:
[0007] The cam is provided with a plurality of support plates, each of which is fixedly connected to a fixing block at the bottom thereof; a visual sensor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing block; a screw is rotatably installed inside the fixing block through a bearing; a motor is fixedly installed on the fixing block; an output shaft at the bottom of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the screw; a controller is fixedly installed inside the fixing block at the top of the motor; a slider is threadedly connected to the periphery of the screw; a plurality of push plates are evenly arranged and installed along the circumferential direction on the periphery of the slider; a plurality of rotating members are evenly arranged and installed along the circumferential direction on the periphery of the fixing block; a pair of limiting plates are rotatably installed on both sides of each rotating member; each limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block; a torsion spring is arranged between each limiting plate and each rotating member; a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of each rotating member; the bottom surface of each connecting plate is pressed against the top surface of each push plate; and a supporting foot is fixedly connected to the outer side of each rotating member.
[0008] When the main body of the aircraft descends downward and approaches the ground, the visual sensor can be installed to detect the unevenness of the ground, and then the detection result can be transmitted to the controller. The controller can process the detection situation of the visual sensor. When the visual sensor detects that the ground is relatively flat, the motor can be controlled. In the process of the motor driving its output shaft to rotate, it can drive the screw to rotate synchronously, and at the same time drive the slider to move upward, and drive the push plate to move upward, squeeze the connecting plate outward, so that the connecting plate and the supporting foot can rotate outward with the rotating part as the center of the circle, so that the outer side of the supporting foot rotates to a state parallel to the ground, so that the four anti-skid pads arranged on the periphery of a fixed block can fit with the ground. A total of sixteen anti-skid pads can be used to support the main body of the aircraft, thereby expanding the contact area between the main body of the aircraft and the ground and improving the stability of the support for the main body of the aircraft. When the surface is uneven, the motor can be used to drive the screw to rotate and move the slider to the highest position outside the screw, and the push plate can be used to squeeze the connecting plate outward, so that the supporting foot can rotate outward with the rotating member as the center of the circle, so that the four friction blocks arranged on the periphery of a fixed block can fit with the ground, and a total of sixteen friction blocks can be used to support the aircraft body, thereby expanding the contact area between the aircraft body and the ground, and improving the stability of the aircraft body support. The aircraft body is supported by the anti-slip pad and the friction block respectively, thereby expanding the applicable scope of the fixed block support work and improving the effect of supporting the aircraft body; after the aircraft body rises upward and away from the ground, the visual sensor cannot detect the ground, and the controller controls the motor to drive the screw to rotate in the opposite direction, and drives the slider and the push plate to move downward, and the elastic force of the torsion spring can rotate the rotating member upward, so that the supporting foot rotates back to the position as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The initial state.
[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that a friction block is fixedly installed on the outer side of each supporting foot away from the fixing block.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, in this solution, the friction between the outer side of the supporting foot and the ground can be enlarged by installing the friction block, thereby improving the stability of the placement of the aircraft body.
[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that a groove is formed on the outer surface of each friction block away from the supporting leg.
[0012] The above technical solution is adopted. In this solution, by providing a groove on the surface of the friction block, the friction between the friction block and the ground is further increased, thereby improving the stability of the placement of the aircraft body.
[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that an anti-skid pad is fixedly installed on the outer side of each supporting foot at the bottom of each friction block.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, in this solution, the contact area between the supporting feet and the ground can be expanded by installing the anti-skid pad, thereby achieving an anti-skid effect.
[0015] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that the top of each supporting foot is fixedly connected to the top of each connecting plate via a reinforcing plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, in this solution, the connection area between the supporting foot and the connecting plate can be increased by installing a reinforcing plate, so as to prevent the supporting foot from being bent due to excessive force, thereby reinforcing the supporting foot.
[0017] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that a pair of limit blocks are fixedly installed on both sides of each push plate, and a limit rod runs through the interior of each limit block, and the top and bottom ends of the limit rod are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block.
[0018] The above-mentioned technical solution is adopted. In this solution, the push plate and the limit rod can be connected by installing a limit block, and the limit rod can be used to guide and limit the sliding trajectory of the push plate to prevent the slider from rotating synchronously with the screw rod, thereby ensuring that the push plate can squeeze the connecting plate outward, and at the same time, it can prevent the push plate from being broken by the reverse pressure of the connecting plate, thereby protecting the push plate.
[0019] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that the fixed blocks are fixedly connected to each other through connecting rods.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, in this solution, the fixing blocks can be connected to each other by installing connecting rods, so that the four fixing blocks are formed into a whole, thereby improving the stability of the fixing blocks.
[0021] A further improvement of the technical solution of the utility model is that a protective plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixing block away from the connecting rod, and the protective plate and the controller are located on the same horizontal line.
[0022] The above technical solution is adopted. In this solution, the outer wall of the fixed block outside the controller can be shielded by installing a protective plate, so that the controller can be protected. By opening the protective plate, the controller can be repaired and processed.
[0023] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has achieved the following technical progress compared with the prior art:
[0024] 1. The utility model provides a landing support leg for an unmanned aerial vehicle. When the main body of the aircraft is close to the ground, the flatness of the ground can be detected by using a visual sensor and a controller. When it is detected that the ground is relatively flat, the push plate can be driven to move upward by using a motor, a screw and a slider, and at the same time, the connecting plate and the supporting leg are squeezed to rotate outward with the rotating member as the center, so that each anti-slip pad fits with the ground, thereby expanding the contact area between the main body of the aircraft and the ground, and improving the stability of the support for the main body of the aircraft.
