Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and in particular to a folding joint of a connecting pipe, which is a design scheme that utilizes a connecting head to realize the folding of a pipe. Background Art

[0002] In the current drone field, with the continuous advancement of technology and the rapid development of the market, drones have become a popular choice in all walks of life, with applications ranging from military reconnaissance to civil aerial photography to cargo transportation, etc. However, with the continuous expansion of drone functions and the diversification of application scenarios, the requirements for their structure are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] In the structure of drones, there are many parts that require pipes to be connected or folded. For example, the wings, tail, brackets and other parts of drones are usually composed of multiple sections of pipes, which need to be connected during assembly or stored during folding. The way these pipes are connected directly affects the performance and use of drones.

[0004] Common pipe connection forms include threaded connection and clamp connection. Threaded connection is usually used to connect the ends of two pipes, and the connection is fixed by screwing the thread into the threaded hole in the nut or other pipe. However, threaded connection has problems such as cumbersome installation and difficult alignment. A slight deviation will damage the thread, and it is difficult for one person to operate, especially in outdoor environments or emergency situations, which often takes a lot of time and effort. The clamp connection is to put the pipe into a special clamp and then fix the connection by tightening screws or other clamping devices. This connection method is also difficult for one person to operate. The clamp thread must be tightened while the joint is docked, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. The clamp itself is separated from the joint, which will be cumbersome during transportation and storage. In addition, the more joints there are, the more clamps there are, and there is a risk of loss. In addition, the clamp connection is prone to problems such as loose connection and uneven clamping, which affects the stability and safety of the drone. In response to these problems, it is necessary to explore a faster, more convenient and more reliable pipe connection technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and provides a folding joint for a connecting pipe, which can not only simplify the operating steps and improve the assembly efficiency, but also enhance the firmness and stability of the connection, thereby bringing more possibilities for the design and manufacture of drones and promoting the development and application of drone technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a folding joint of a connecting pipe, comprising: a first joint, a second joint, a rotating shaft and a quick-release lock, one end of the first joint is provided with a plurality of top screw holes for fixing a pipe that needs to be butted; the other end of the first joint is provided with a first fixed sleeve, one end of the second joint is provided with a plurality of top screw holes for fixing another pipe that needs to be butted; the other end of the second joint is provided with a second fixed sleeve; the first fixed sleeve and the second fixed sleeve are butt-connected through the rotating shaft; the quick-release lock is provided on any end face of the two end faces where the first joint and the second joint are butt-jointed, and a lock buckle ring is provided on the other end face, and the quick-release lock is buckled into the lock buckle ring to lock and fix the first joint and the second joint, which can be operated by a single person, saving labor.

[0007] Furthermore, the quick-release lock includes a quick-release lock rod, a quick-release lock shaft and a quick-release lock wrench. The quick-release lock screws the quick-release lock rod into the lock ring through the quick-release lock shaft, and then tightens the quick-release lock wrench to complete the locking and fixing of the first joint and the second joint, which is simple and efficient and does not require cumbersome docking and threading.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of the top screw holes are arranged in a surrounding manner on the first joint and the second joint to form an integral structure, thereby improving the firmness and reliability of the connection.

[0009] Furthermore, the first joint, the second joint and the rotating shaft are combined into a hinge, and the first joint and the second joint are folded and unfolded through the rotating shaft, so as to achieve rapid assembly and facilitate transportation and storage.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application:

[0011] 1. Ease of operation: The design of the quick-release lock enables quick docking and folding, greatly reducing the assembly time. Without the need for complicated thread tightening operations, one person can easily complete the connection task, improving the convenience of operation.

[0012] 2. Structural firmness: The innovative hinge structure combined with the quick-release lock ensures the firmness of the connection parts, effectively preventing safety hazards during drone flight caused by loose connections.

[0013] 3. Improved assembly efficiency: The design of the folding joint allows the pipe to be folded during transportation and storage, saving space, while speeding up assembly and improving production efficiency.

[0014] 4. Stability and safety: Since the quick-release lock can ensure uniform clamping, the stability of the joint is enhanced, which directly improves the stability and safety of the drone during flight.

[0015] 5. Environmental adaptability: The easy-to-operate feature makes this joint technology very suitable for rapid assembly outdoors and in emergency situations, enhancing the adaptability of drones in different environments.

[0016] 6. Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the high reliability of the quick-release lock, the number of maintenance times caused by connection problems is reduced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0017] 7. Expanding the application scenarios of drones: The application of this technology gives drones greater flexibility in design and allows them to be used in more scenarios that were previously difficult to use due to structural limitations.

[0018] 8. Reduced risk of loss: Compared with the clamp connection method, the quick-release lock is fixed on the joint, which is not easy to lose, and there are no additional accessories to be stored, which reduces the operational risk of the drone. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
