[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention

[0022] In the present invention, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes to distinguish objects such as substances from each other, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application, the first XX may also be referred to as the second XX, and similarly, the second XX may also be referred to as the first XX

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a drone provided by the present invention. The present invention provides a drone 100, which includes a main body 10, a mounting mechanism 20 and a payload 30. The mounting mechanism 20 is fixed to the main body 10, and the payload 30 is installed on the mounting mechanism 20. The number of the mounting mechanisms 20 can be one or more, and the specific number is set according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. It can be understood that when the number of the mounting mechanisms 20 is multiple, in order to maintain the load balance of the drone 100, the multiple mounting mechanisms 20 are preferably evenly distributed on the main body 10

[0024] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , wherein Figure 2 For Figure 1 The three-dimensional structural diagram of the shown mounting mechanism Figure 3 For Figure 1 The exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of the shown mounting mechanism. The mounting mechanism 20 includes a connecting arm 21, a fixed seat 23, a motor 25, a limiting member 27 and a rotating member 29. The connecting arm 21 is fixed to the main body 10, the fixed seat 23 is fixed to the connecting arm 21, the motor 25 and the limiting member 27 are fixed to the fixed seat 23, the rotating member 29 is fixed to the motor shaft of the motor 25, and the payload 30 is installed on the rotating member 29

[0025] It is understandable that multiple components composed of the fixed seat 23, the motor 25, the limiting member 27 and the rotating member 29 can be connected to the connecting arm 21, so as to install multiple of the hanging objects 30.

[0026] The fixed seat 23 includes a first fixed portion 231 and a second fixed portion 233 which are connected and arranged. The motor 25 is fixed to the first fixed portion 231. The first fixed portion 231 has a through hole 2311. The motor shaft of the motor 25 penetrates through the through hole 2311 and is fixedly connected to the rotating member 29.

[0027] The limiting member 27 includes a first end 271 and a second end 273 which are oppositely arranged. The first end 271 is connected to the second fixed portion 233. The rotating member 29 is fixed to the motor shaft of the motor 25. The second end 273 is used to abut against the hanging object 30 when the hanging object 30 is installed on the rotating member 29, and the second end 273 is matched with the surface shape of the hanging object 30.

[0028] In some embodiments, the fixed seat 23 and the limiting member 27 can be provided as an integral structure.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 4 , for Figure 1 the exploded perspective view of the three-dimensional structure of the hanging object shown. The hanging object 30 includes a main body 31 and a release member 33. The release member 33 includes a mounting portion 331, a plug pin 333 and a hook 335 for cooperative locking. The mounting portion 331 is mounted on the rotating member 29. The plug pin 333 and the hook 335 are fixed to the mounting portion 331. The plug pin 333 penetrates through the main body 31. The hook 335 is arranged around the plug pin 333 and can twist relative to the plug pin 333.

[0030] The mounting portion 331 can be mounted on the rotating member 29 in an existing fixed manner or a detachable manner, and is not specifically limited herein. For example, bolt mounting, hanging mounting, snap-fit mounting, etc. In this embodiment, the rotating member 29 includes a third fixed portion 291 and a hook portion 293 which are connected and arranged. The third fixed portion 291 is fixed to the motor shaft of the motor 25. The mounting portion 331 is a hanging ring and is mounted on the hook portion 293. The plug pin 333 and the hook 335 are formed by bending the same metal wire. The middle part is bent into a ring shape and connected to the mounting portion 331. One end extends straight as the plug pin 333, and the end of the other end is bent into a hook shape as the hook 335.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 5 , for Figure 4Schematic diagram of the torsion of the release member when the shown mounting mechanism releases the payload. When the payload 30 is installed on the mounting mechanism 20, the mounting portion 331 is installed on the hook portion 293, and the body 31 is clamped between the second end 273 of the limiting member 27 and the hook 335, thereby fixing the payload 30 to the mounting mechanism 20.

[0032] When it is necessary to release the body 31, the motor 25 drives the rotating member 29 to rotate, and the mounting portion 331 transmits torque to the pin 333 and the hook 335 accordingly. The hook 335 twists relative to the pin 333, and the hook 335 is unlocked from the pin 333. The hook 335 no longer cooperates with the second end 273 of the limiting member 27 to clamp the body 31, thereby releasing the body 31.

[0033] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 331, the pin 333, and the hook 335 may be an integral structure capable of transmitting torque.

[0034] In some embodiments, the release member 33 and the rotating member 29 may be an integral structure capable of transmitting torque, that is, the payload 30 only needs to be provided with a through hole for the pin 333 and be locked by the pin 333 and the hook 335.

[0035] In some embodiments, the body 31 is a grenade body, and the release member 33 serves as a grenade safety pin. It can be understood that at this time, the release member 33 needs to be detachably installed with the rotating member 29, and the release member 33 and the body 31 cannot be freely installed and separated before release. In addition, when the motor 25 drives the hook 335 to twist relative to the pin 333 to release the body 31, it is equivalent to pulling out the grenade safety pin, and the drone 100 can release the body 31 while flying in the air.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first end 271 of the limiting member 27 is telescopically connected to the second fixing portion 233, and is used to apply a force to push out the payload 30 when the mounting mechanism 20 releases the payload 30. For example, the first end 271 and the second fixing portion 233 may be connected by a corrugated telescopic structure, a sliding structure, or a folding structure.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , it is Figure 3Schematic diagram of the connection relationship between the second fixing part and the first end shown. The second fixing part 233 is a sleeve, and the first end 271 is a sliding tube. The sliding tube is sleeved inside the sleeve. A slider 2711 is arranged on the outer surface of the sliding tube, and a limiting groove 2331 is arranged on the sleeve corresponding to the slider 2711. When the motor 25 drives the hook 335 to twist relative to the bolt 333 and releases the body 31, due to the action of gravity, the sliding tube moves along the sleeve towards the body 31, generating a thrust on the body 31 to prevent the body 31 from being blocked and falling off. Further, a spring can be arranged between the sliding tube and the bottom of the sleeve to increase the thrust.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the drone 100 of the present utility model can fix the load 30 to the mounting mechanism 20 by mounting the mounting part 331 on the rotating part 29 and clamping the body 31 by the second end 273 of the limiting part 27 and the hook 335. When releasing, the motor 25 can be controlled to drive the rotating part 29 to rotate. The mounting part 331 transmits torque to the bolt 333 and the hook 335 accordingly. The hook 335 twists relative to the bolt 333 to release the body 31, eliminating the need for manual removal of the body 31, which is convenient to use.

[0039] Meanwhile, the second end 273 of the limiting part 27 is set to match the surface shape of the load 30, improving the clamping effect between the second end 273 of the limiting part 27 and the hook 335, making the installation of the load 30 more stable and not affecting the flight effect.

[0040] Moreover, the first end 271 of the limiting part 27 is telescopically connected to the second fixing part 233. When the motor 25 drives the hook 335 to twist relative to the bolt 333 and releases the body 31, it pushes the body 31 to separate, preventing the body 31 from being blocked and falling off, with high reliability.

[0041] In addition, the body 31 is set as a grenade body, and the releasing part 33 is a grenade safety pin. When the motor 25 drives the hook 335 to twist relative to the bolt 333 and releases the body 31, direct throwing of the grenade can be achieved.

[0042] The above are only partial embodiments of the present utility model, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the utility model description and the drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
