Such a collision may cause damage to the support, and in severe cases, the UAV may tip over.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a shock-absorbing bracket for a UAV used in geographical mapping is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] An object of the utility model is to provide a shock-absorbing bracket for a UAV used in geographical mapping. The utility model solves the problems that when the existing UAV for surveying and mapping lands on the ground, the bracket will have a rigid collision with the ground, resulting in damage to the bracket and tipping over of the UAV.

A bracket member is rotatably connected to the bottom of the UAV body near the outermost side. A positioning block is fixed to the side of the UAV body near the bottom. A buffer assembly is arranged on the positioning block. The buffer assembly includes a buffer rod. A through hole is formed in the positioning block. The buffer rod is movably arranged inside the through hole. A guiding groove is formed on the upper surface of the bracket member corresponding to the position of the buffer assembly. The bottom end of the buffer assembly is movably arranged inside the guiding groove.
[0007] A rotating shaft is arranged at the bottom of the bracket member, and a placing wheel is arranged on the rotating shaft.

[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it includes a UAV body 1. A support member 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the UAV body 1 near the outermost side. The number of the support members 2 is two, and the two support members 2 are arranged in an "eight" shape at the bottom of the UAV body 1, aiming to increase the support range of the support member 2 and improve the stability of landing. The two support members 2 are axially symmetrically arranged with the symmetry axis of the UAV body 1 as the axis of symmetry. The purpose of the symmetrical arrangement is to make the forces on both sides balanced after the UAV body 1 lands on the ground and collides with the ground, so that the UAV body 1 is not easily overturned. A positioning block 3 is fixed to the side of the UAV body 1 near the bottom. A buffer assembly 4 is arranged on the positioning block 3. The buffer assembly 4 includes a buffer rod 5. A through hole 6 is formed in the positioning block 3, and the buffer rod 5 moves inside the through hole 6. It should be noted that a damping ring is arranged inside the through hole 6, which is mainly designed to prevent the buffer assembly 4 from reciprocating up and down. A guiding groove 7 is formed in the upper surface of the support member 2 corresponding to the position of the buffer assembly 4, and the bottom end of the buffer assembly 4 moves inside the guiding groove 7. The number of the buffer assembly 4, the guiding groove 7 and the placing wheel 9 corresponding to each support member 2 is three groups, so that the buffer assembly 4 covers a wider range on the support member 2, which can bring better shock absorption effect;
[0023] Refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4, the buffer assembly 4 further includes a buffer spring 10 and a pulley assembly 11. A limit block 12 is provided at the top end of the buffer rod 5, and a limit ring 13 is provided on the surface of the buffer rod 5 at a position below the positioning block 3. The buffer spring 10 is movably sleeved on the surface of the buffer rod 5 at a position between the limit ring 13 and the positioning block 3. The buffer spring 10 is sleeved on the surface of the buffer rod 5 to provide a downward force to the buffer rod 5, so that the buffer rod 5 pushes the support member 2. When the support member 2 and the buffer rod 5 are not stressed, the support member 2, the buffer rod 5 and the buffer spring 10 are in a balanced state. The sliding assembly pulls the support member 2 inside the guide groove 7. In this way, when the buffer rod 5 moves, it will drive the support member 2 to move through the pulley assembly 11 and the guide groove 7. The pulley assembly 11 includes a fixed rod 14, a transverse pulley 15 and a longitudinal pulley 16. The number of transverse pulleys 15 corresponding to each buffer rod 5 is two. Two sets of sliding grooves 17 are provided inside the guide groove 7 at positions corresponding to the two transverse pulleys 15. The fixed rod 14 is fixed to the bottom end surface of the buffer rod 5. The two transverse pulleys 15 are arranged on both sides of the fixed rod 14 and are rotatably connected to the rotating buffer rod 5 through bearings. The two transverse pulleys 15 move inside the two sets of sliding grooves 17 and move along the sliding grooves 17. The two transverse pulleys 15 are hung in the sliding grooves 17, so that the support member 2 can move up and down following the transverse pulleys 15. The longitudinal pulley 16 is arranged at the middle position of the fixed rod 14 to make the two transverse pulleys 15 move smoothly. The longitudinal pulley 16 is located on the axis of symmetry of the two transverse pulleys 15. The longitudinal pulley is used to reduce the force received by the two transverse pulleys. The longitudinal pulley 16 is also rotatably connected to the buffer rod 5 through a bearing. The longitudinal pulley 16 moves inside the guide groove 7. During operation, when the UAV body 1 lands on the ground, the support member 2 first contacts the ground to receive the collision force. The collision force squeezes the support member 2 upward. When the support member 2 rotates on the UAV body 1, it will squeeze the two transverse pulleys 15 and a longitudinal pulley 16 through the guide groove 7 and the sliding grooves 17. While the support member 2 rotates, the transverse pulleys 15 and the longitudinal pulley 16 move inside the sliding grooves 17 and the guide groove 7 and also receive an upward force. After being stressed, the transverse pulleys 15 and the longitudinal pulley 16 will push the buffer rod 5 upward through the fixed rod 14. The buffer spring 10 on the buffer rod 5 will be squeezed and contracted. By the contraction of the buffer spring 10, the collision force is buffered, thereby achieving the purpose of bracket shock absorption.
[0024] Embodiment 2
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3, a rotating shaft 8 is provided at the bottom of the support member 2, and a placing wheel 9 is arranged on the rotating shaft 8. Due to the friction on the ground, in order to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the support member 2, the placing wheel 9 is provided here. After the placing wheel 9 contacts the ground, the placing wheel 9 rotates to reduce the friction between the support member 2 and the ground, so that the support frame rotates more smoothly to achieve a better buffering and shock absorption effect.
