Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a shock absorption device for agricultural drones, belonging to the field of drones. Background Technique
[0002] With the progress of society and the modern development of all walks of life, the role of drones in social production and life has become increasingly prominent, especially in the agricultural field, where they are used more and more widely. Agricultural plant protection drones have special structures: such as the support rods in the spraying system. Since a large spraying width needs to be ensured, long tubular parts are usually used. The vibration transmitted from the airframe during flight operations is extremely easy to be amplified. Since the medicine box is usually suspended at the bottom of the airframe and relatively high landing gears are usually used, the vibration transmitted from the airframe is also extremely easy to be amplified during flight operations. Therefore, it is very necessary to set a shock absorption device between the main body of the existing drone and the structures and components that are prone to vibration to reduce the impact of vibration on flight.
[0003] The components used for shock absorption of existing agricultural plant protection drones are all springs, and the springs are used to achieve the desired shock absorption effect. However, the energy transfer between the airframe and the external mechanism is only transmitted by the springs. When the attitude of the drone airframe changes rapidly, the springs will swing radially, thereby causing the mechanism connected to the other end of the shock absorption device to shake, affecting the flight stability of the drone. Therefore, this application proposes a shock absorption device for agricultural drones that eliminates the use of springs. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shock absorption device for agricultural drones.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A shock absorption device for agricultural drones includes a drone body. A medicine box is arranged at the bottom of the drone body. A water isolation space is arranged at the inner bottom of the medicine box. A pump body is arranged in the water isolation space. The suction pipe on the pump body is communicated with the medicine box. The water outlet pipe on the pump body penetrates through the medicine box, and a plurality of soft pipes are connected to a plurality of spray pipes on the water outlet pipe. The spray pipes are installed on the outer side surface of the medicine box. A landing gear is installed at the bottom end of the drone body. An installation cross plate is fixedly arranged on the landing gear. A circular shell is arranged above the installation cross plate. The medicine box is installed at the outer top end of the circular shell. An air valve port is arranged on the circular shell. A piston part is arranged inside the circular shell. A connecting rod that penetrates through the bottom end of the medicine box is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the piston part. The connecting rod is connected to the installation cross plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the piston part includes a sealing circular plate located inside the circular shell, and a rubber sealing ring is fixedly arranged on the circular outer surface of the sealing circular plate.
[0008] Furthermore, an airbag ring is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the sealing circular plate. The bottom end of the airbag ring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the circular shell. A circular groove for the sliding penetration of the connecting rod is formed in the middle of the airbag ring.
[0009] Furthermore, an inflation tube fixedly penetrating through the airbag ring is provided on the airbag ring. An inflation valve is provided on the inflation tube. A plurality of sleeves are fixedly provided at the top end of the installation cross plate. A plurality of insertion rods inserted into the inside of the sleeves are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the circular shell. A buffer airbag is provided inside the sleeve. The bottom end of the insertion rod fixes the buffer airbag.
[0010] Furthermore, a through tube is fixedly provided in the middle of the bottom end of the circular shell. A ball is movably embedded inside the through tube. Three-fifths of the volume of the ball is embedded inside the through tube. The connecting rod penetrates through the through tube, and the outer surface of the connecting rod is in contact with the ball.
[0011] Furthermore, a square enclosure board is fixedly provided on the inner side of the lifting footrest. A secondary airbag ring is pasted on the inner side of the square enclosure board.
[0012] Furthermore, a secondary inflation tube fixedly penetrating through the square enclosure board is provided on the airbag ring. An inflation valve is also provided on the secondary inflation tube.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:
[0014] The medicine box is fixed at the top end of the circular shell. The bottom end of the connecting rod is fixed on the installation cross plate. A space is formed between the top end of the sealing circular plate and the inner top end of the circular shell. An air valve port is designed on the outer wall of the circular shell of this space. Compressed air can be introduced through the air valve port. When the medicine box vibrates, the connecting rod and the piston part thereon are in a working state, moving up and down relative to the inside of the circular shell. Since the compressed air is introduced from the upper end of the circular shell, the compressed air is located in the space on the upper surface of the piston part. Specifically, when the medicine box vibrates, during the upward movement of the piston part, it is buffered by the compressed air, weakening the vibration of the medicine box thereon.
[0015] With the design of the airbag ring, when moving up and down with the piston part, the airbag ring can contract or expand horizontally, which can further ensure that the airbag ring realizes the double buffering effect when the piston part moves up and down. Description of the Drawings

[0025] Refer to Figure 4 , the piston member includes a sealing circular plate 24 located inside the circular shell 9. A rubber sealing ring 25 is fixedly arranged on the circular outer surface of the sealing circular plate 24. The rubber sealing ring 25 designed on the outer surface of the sealing circular plate 24 contacts the inner wall of the circular shell to ensure a good sealing and extrusion effect.
[0026] Refer to Figures 3-4 , an airbag ring 13 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the sealing circular plate 24. The bottom end of the airbag ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the circular shell 9. A circular groove 14 for the connecting rod 11 to slide through is opened in the middle of the airbag ring 13. The compression of the airbag ring 13 has a good shock absorption effect.
[0027] Refer to Figure 3 , an inflation pipe 15 that fixedly penetrates through the airbag ring 13 is arranged on the airbag ring 13. An inflation valve is arranged on the inflation pipe 15. A plurality of sleeves 16 are fixedly arranged at the top end of the installation cross plate 8.
