[0017] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0018] The present application embodiment discloses a UAV mounting quick connection structure. Figure 1-3A UAV mounting quick connection structure includes a UAV 1 responsible for a flight mission, a plurality of landing brackets 2 are installed at the bottom of the UAV 1, and the landing cushioning and support of the UAV 1 are achieved through the landing brackets 2. A mounting assembly 3 is installed on the inner side of the plurality of landing brackets 2 on the UAV 1. The mounting assembly 3 includes a suspension unit 302 for carrying peripherals. The suspension unit 302 is connected to the UAV 1 through a mounting plate 301. A plurality of mounting assemblies 4 are hinged on the outer side of the mounting plate 301. The mounting assembly 4 includes a plurality of mounting clips 402 clamped with the landing bracket 2.

[0019] Referring to Figure *, the mounting plate 301 includes a fixed plate 3011 installed at the bottom of the drone 1, and a connecting column is welded at the lower end of the fixed plate 3011, and a connecting plate 3012 is welded at the bottom of the connecting column, so that an installation groove is reserved between the fixed plate 3011 and the connecting plate 3012, which is convenient for hinged installation assembly 4 with the installation groove, and an avoidance groove is opened on the inner side of the suspension unit 302 on the connecting plate 3012, which is convenient for the lifting ring or hook to be stuck on the inner side of the suspension unit 302, and a plurality of screw holes are opened on the outer side of the avoidance groove on the connecting plate 3012, and the peripheral connector with mounting screw holes can be installed on the connecting plate 3012 by bolts, and a plurality of mounting holes 3013 are opened on the fixed plate 3011, which can be fixed to the bottom of the drone 1 by bolts when mounting heavier peripherals, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity, and adding a buffer pad between the fixed plate 3011 and the drone 1 to reduce the influence of the body vibration on the fixed plate 3011.

[0020] Reference Figure 3 The suspension unit 302 includes a guide rail 3021 installed at the lower end of the connecting plate 3012. The guide rail 3021 is composed of two relatively installed L-shaped plates. A number of sockets are equidistantly provided on the side of the L-shaped plate, three of which are equipped with pins 3022. The pins 3022 are inserted into the corresponding sockets to block the external mounting connectors from both ends of the guide rail 3021 to prevent shaking. If a lifting ring or a lifting hook is used for mounting, the three pins 3022 cooperate with the avoidance groove to form an arc limit end, which can fix the lifting ring or the lifting hook to prevent shaking. The lifting ring or the lifting hook is flexible to use and has high adaptability.

[0021] Reference Figure 2, the installation component 4 includes a telescopic rod 401 hinged to the mounting plate 301. An installation clip 402 is installed at the end of the telescopic rod 401. The installation clip 402 includes a U-shaped clamping plate 4021 installed at the end of the telescopic rod 401. A clamping plate 4022 is installed inside the U-shaped clamping plate 4021. The clamping plate 4022 is distributed opposite to one of the corners of the U-shaped clamping plate 4021. A screw rod 4023 is threadedly installed on the U-shaped clamping plate 4021. The end of the screw rod 4023 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 4022. A guide rod 4024 is installed on the clamping plate 4022. The end of the guide rod 4024 passes through the U-shaped clamping plate 4021 and is slidably connected to the U-shaped clamping plate 4021. The screw rod 4023 is coaxial or parallel to the midline of one of the corners of the clamping plate 4022 and the U-shaped clamping plate 4021, realizing the lifting support 2 with a fixed angle and cylindrical shape. Anti-slip pads are installed on the sides of the clamping plate 4022 and the U-shaped clamping plate 4021 that are close to each other.

[0022] The implementation principle of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounting quick connection structure in an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0023] Adjust the length of the telescopic rod 401 so that the installation clip 402 can be accurately clamped onto the lifting support 2. Rotate the screw rod 4023 on the installation clip 402 to make the clamping plate 4022 closely fit the lifting support 2, and maintain a sliding connection through the guide rod 4024 to ensure firm fixation. The anti-slip pads of the installation clip 402 further increase the friction force to prevent loosening during flight.

[0024] According to the types of peripherals to be mounted, such as cameras, sensors, etc., mount the peripherals onto the suspension unit 302 by means of eye rings, hooks, etc., or fix the connecting parts of the peripherals to the screw holes of the connection plate 3012 using bolts.

[0025] If mounting heavy objects, the fixed plate 3011 can be fixed to the bottom of the UAV 1 using bolts to improve the load-bearing capacity.

[0026] After completing the mounting and fixing, conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure that all connecting parts are fastened and there is no looseness. The UAV 1 is ready, and conduct a final inspection before takeoff, including battery power, flight path planning, etc. The UAV 1 takes off, and the mounted peripherals start to work normally.
