Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of UAV equipment, in particular to a mounting connection device for a UAV aircraft and a UAV. Background Art

[0002] Industrial UAVs, especially multi-rotor UAVs with a payload capacity exceeding 3 kg, have been widely used in fields such as reconnaissance, loudspeaker announcements, and throwing. The above functions can be achieved by replacing payload devices such as pods, loudspeakers, and throwers.

[0003] However, the connection between the fuselage of the existing multi-rotor UAV and the payload device is relatively cumbersome. In the prior art, the connection between the fuselage and the payload device is achieved by a screw connection method. When assembling and disassembling, it is necessary to rotate the two to a certain extent to achieve the connection or disassembly of the fuselage and the payload device, which takes a certain amount of time and cannot achieve fast, effective, and convenient assembly or disassembly.

[0004] Therefore, the above technical problems need to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a mounting connection device for a UAV aircraft, which can achieve fast assembly and disassembly of the UAV fuselage and external functional devices.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the basic technical solution proposed by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A mounting connection device for a UAV aircraft includes a first component and a second component. The first component is used for assembling and connecting with the fuselage, and the second component is used for assembling and connecting with an external functional device. The first component and the second component are inserted and assembled and connected;

[0008] The first component has a locking structure, the locking structure has a locking portion, and the locking portion is connected with a pressing portion;

[0009] The second component has a locking area and a guiding area;

[0010] The locking portion falls into the locking area to lock the second component in the first component;

[0011] When an external force acts on the pressing portion, the locking portion moves from the locking area to the guiding area, so that the second component moves along the sliding direction of the guiding area.

[0012] Furthermore, the first component also has a slot;

[0013] The second component corresponding to the sliding insertion has a plugging portion;

[0014] The plug-in part is assembled in the slot so that the second component is inserted into the first component to achieve an assembled connection.

[0015] Furthermore, the first component further has an elastic part;

[0016] One end of the elastic part abuts against the locking structure;

[0017] When the pressing part is stressed, the locking structure moves along the contraction direction of the elastic part, squeezing the elastic part to produce elastic deformation so that the locking part falls into the guiding area;

[0018] When the external force on the pressing part is removed, the elastic part resumes its shape and applies a force to the locking structure so that the locking part returns to the locking area.

[0019] Furthermore, the locking structure further has a locking pin shaft, one end of the locking pin shaft is connected to the pressing part, and the other end is connected with a force-applying part;

[0020] The force-applying part abuts against the elastic part.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking part has a first guiding surface, and the first guiding surface is a curved surface; correspondingly, the locking area corresponding to the first guiding surface has a guiding part;

[0022] The first guiding surface is in sliding contact with the guiding part to guide the locking part along the guiding part into the locking area.

[0023] Furthermore, there is a receiving area in the first component;

[0024] One side of the receiving area has an opening;

[0025] The locking structure is assembled in the opening, and the locking structure spans from the opening to the side wall of the first component and passes through the side wall so that the pressing part is exposed outside the first component.

[0026] Furthermore, the side wall of the first component has a first through hole;

[0027] The pressing part is exposed outside the first component through the first through hole.

[0028] Furthermore, the first component has a second through hole, and the second through hole penetrates from the inner bottom of the first component to the outside of its bottom;

[0029] The locking part passes through the second through hole and is exposed outside the bottom of the first component.

[0030] Further, the second component has a second elastic member;

[0031] When the second component is inserted into the first component until it contacts the bottom of the slot, the second elastic member is in a contracted state;

[0032] When the second elastic member returns to the extended state, at least a part of the second component pops out of the first component.

[0033] Further, a drone includes the mounting connection device of a drone aircraft as described above.

Detailed implementation manners

[0046] The following will combine the attached drawings Figure 1 to the attached drawings Figure 8 to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0047] It should be noted that if there are directions involved in the embodiments of the present utility model, they shall be subject to those shown in the drawings. If a specific posture changes, the directional indication shall also change accordingly.

[0048] UAV technology has been widely applied in various industries, especially in fields such as reconnaissance, loudspeaker announcements, and throwing. Usually, some functional devices are externally hung on the fuselage of the UAV, such as pods, loudspeakers, throwers, cameras, and lighting devices, to assist the UAV aircraft in achieving more operation functions.

[0049] However, the connection between the existing UAV aircraft and the external functional device is relatively cumbersome, which takes a certain amount of time and cannot achieve the technical problems of rapid, effective, and convenient assembly or disassembly.

[0050] In response to this, the present inventor provides a mounting connection device for a UAV aircraft, aiming to achieve rapid assembly and disassembly of the external functional device and the UAV fuselage.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a mounting connection device for a drone aircraft of the present technical solution includes a first component 1 and a second component 2. The first component 1 is used for assembling and connecting with the fuselage, and the first component 1 is connected to the drone fuselage by means of screws, buckles, etc. The second component 2 is used for assembling and connecting with an external functional device. Similarly, the second component 2 and the external functional device can also be connected by means of screws, buckles, etc., as long as it is convenient to connect the first component 1 and the second component 2 to the drone fuselage and the external functional device respectively.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are inserted and assembled. In actual use, each external functional device is correspondingly connected with a second component 2. When it is necessary to replace different external functional devices for the drone, it is only necessary to insert the external functional device with the second component 2 into the first component 1 to meet various operation requirements of the drone aircraft.

[0053] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the first component 1 further has a slot 11; the second component 2 corresponding to the slot 11 has a plug-in portion 23; the plug-in portion 23 is assembled in the slot 11 so that the second component 2 is inserted into the first component 1 to achieve assembly connection.

[0054] During assembly, it is only necessary to insert the external functional device equipped with the second component 2 into the slot 11 through the plug-in portion 23, so as to realize the connection between the external functional device and the fuselage of the drone aircraft.

[0055] In some usage scenarios, the connection between the external functional device and the drone fuselage includes electrical control connection. The external functional device is controlled by a control end in the drone, so that the external functional device performs corresponding operations under the operation instructions of the drone.

[0056] In some other usage scenarios, the external functional device can also assist in realizing the functions required for drone operation through manual operation methods.

[0057] For example, when a catapult is electrically connected to the drone, the control end for catapulting materials is unlocked or locked under the control of the drone. Of course, the catapult can also be unlocked or locked manually to realize the functions required by the user.

[0058] However, in order to make the assembly and disassembly of the external functional device and the drone fuselage more convenient and fast, a locking structure 3 is provided on the first component 1 to realize the quick and convenient assembly and disassembly of the second component 2.

[0059] Specifically, as Figures 3 to 6As shown, the first component 1 has a locking structure 3. The locking structure 3 has a locking portion 31. The locking portion 31 is connected to a pressing portion 32. It should be noted that the locking structure further includes the locking portion 31, the pressing portion 32, a locking pin shaft 33, and a force - applying portion 34. The locking portion 31, the pressing portion 32, and the force - applying portion 34 are all connected by the locking pin shaft 33. The locking portion 31 is located below the locking pin shaft 33, and the pressing portion 32 and the force - applying portion 34 are respectively located on both sides of the locking pin shaft 33; As Figure 4 shown, the second component 2 has a locking area 21 and a guiding area 22; The locking portion 31 falls into the locking area 21 to lock the second component 2 in the first component 1; When an external force is applied to the pressing portion 32, the locking portion 31 moves from the locking area 21 to the guiding area 22, so that the second component 2 moves along the sliding direction of the guiding area 22.

[0060] During use, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, when the second component 2 is inserted into the first component 1, the insertion portion 23 of the second component 2 enters the first component 1 along the slot 11. When the insertion portion 23 enters 1 / 3 of the distance from the entrance of the slot 11, the side portion of the insertion portion 23 pushes the locking portion 31 so that the locking portion 31 enters the guiding area 22, facilitating the insertion portion 23 to slide along the slot 11 to the bottom 17 of the first component, and at this time, the lateral end 232 of the insertion portion 23 contacts the bottom 17.

[0061] When the insertion portion 23 contacts the bottom 17, the locking portion 31 returns to the locking area 21 to lock the second component 2 in the first component 1. At this time, the second component 2 cannot move in the first component 1, thus realizing the fixation of the external functional device on the drone body.

[0062] In order for the locking portion 31 to return to the locking area 21 in time, further, the first component 1 further has an elastic portion 12; One end of the elastic portion 12 is in abutting contact with the locking structure 3, and the other end of the elastic portion 12 is in abutting contact with the side wall of the first component 1.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, as the second component 2 further enters the first component 1, when the locking portion 31 slides into the locking area 21, the elastic portion 12 restores its shape and applies a force to the locking structure 3 to make the locking portion 31 return to the locking area 21. Thus, the second component 2 is locked in the first component 1 and cannot move.

[0064] However, as Figure 5 shown, when the pressing part 32 is stressed, the locking structure 3 moves along the contraction direction of the elastic part 12, squeezing the elastic part 12 to generate elastic deformation so that the locking part 31 falls into the guiding area 22; at this time, the locking part 31 moves along the guiding direction of the guiding area 22, and the locking part 31 loses the locking constraint on the second part 2, so that the second part 2 can be conveniently withdrawn from the first part 1.

[0065] In order to better squeeze the elastic part 12, further, as Figure 6 shown, the locking structure 3 further has a locking pin shaft 33, one end of the locking pin shaft 33 is connected to the pressing part 32, and the other end is connected with a force applying part 34; the force applying part 34 is in abutting contact with the elastic part 12.

[0066] It should be understood that when a force is applied to the pressing part 32, the locking pin shaft 33 pushes the force applying part 34 under the action of the pressing part 32 to squeeze the elastic part 12, so that the elastic part 12 generates a contraction deformation. At this time, the locking part 31 also enters from the locking area 21 into the guiding area 22. That is, by the principle of the lever, as long as a little force is applied to the pressing part 32, the second part 2 can be conveniently withdrawn from the first part 1.

[0067] In order to make it more convenient to apply a force to the pressing part 32, further, as Figure 3 shown, the first part 1 has a receiving area 13; one side of the receiving area 13 has an opening 131; the locking structure 3 is assembled in the opening 131, and the locking structure 3 spans from the opening 131 to the side wall of the first part 1 and passes through the side wall so that the pressing part 32 is exposed outside the first part 1. Corresponding to this design, the side wall 14 of the first part 1 has a first through hole 15; the pressing part 32 is exposed outside the first part 1 through the first through hole 15.

[0068] It should be understood that the user can disassemble the second part 2 from the first part 1 by pressing the pressing part 32 exposed outside the first part 1, so as to achieve the purpose of replacing different external functional devices.

[0069] Further, as Figure 7 shown, the first part 1 has a second through hole 16, and the second through hole 16 penetrates from the inner bottom of the first part 1 to the outside of its bottom; the locking part 31 passes through the second through hole 16 and is exposed outside the bottom of the first part 1.

[0070] With such a design, it is convenient for the locking portion 31 to pass through the second through hole 16 until it contacts the locking area 21 and the guiding area 22 in the second component 2, so as to lock the second component 2 in the first component 1.

[0071] It should be noted that during the locking process of the locking structure 3, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the locking portion 31 has a first guiding surface 311, and the first guiding surface 311 is a curved surface; the locking area corresponding to the first guiding surface 311 has a guiding portion 211; the first guiding surface 311 is in sliding contact with the guiding portion 211 to guide the locking portion 31 along the guiding portion 211 into the locking area 21.

[0072] Furthermore, the locking portion 31 also has a second guiding surface 312, and the second guiding surface 312 extends from one inclined surface of the first guiding surface 311 and forms an angle with the first guiding surface 311. There is a second guiding portion 25 on the second component 2 corresponding to the second guiding surface 312 for assembly, as Figure 4 shown, the second guiding portion 25 is in contact with the entrance of the guiding area 22, and the second guiding portion 25 extends obliquely from one side of the guiding area 22 towards the side portion 231 of the second component 2.

[0073] Specifically during assembly, after the second guiding portion 25 touches the second guiding surface 312, the second guiding surface 312 falls into the guiding area 22 along the inclined surface of the second guiding portion 25, and slides along the guiding area 22 until it reaches the entrance of the locking area 21. Under the action of the elastic portion 12, the first guiding surface 312 falls into the locking area 21 along the first guiding portion 311, so that the second component 2 is locked in the first component 1 and cannot move in position.

[0074] In order to make it more labor-saving and convenient to disassemble the second component 1 from the first component 1, furthermore, as Figure 8 shown, the second component 2 has a second elastic member 24; when the second component 2 is inserted into the first component 1 until it contacts the bottom 17 of the slot 11, the second elastic member 24 is in a contracted state; when the second elastic member 24 returns to the stretched state, the second component 2 is withdrawn from the first component.

[0075] It should be understood that when the pressing portion 32 is stressed, after the locking portion 31 falls from the locking area 21 into the guiding area 22, the second component 2 loses the locking effect of the locking portion 31 on it, that is, the second elastic member 24 is not subjected to the longitudinal acting force from the locking portion 31 at this time. Therefore, due to its own recovery performance, the second elastic member 24 applies a longitudinal acting force to the second component 2 to push the second component 2 out of the first component 1, so as to realize that the second component 2 can be automatically disassembled from the first component 1 by pressing the pressing portion 32.

[0076] In summary, a drone includes the mounting and connecting device of the drone aircraft described above. The drone equipped with the mounting and connecting device of the drone aircraft can conveniently and quickly realize the disassembly, replacement, assembly and connection with different external functional devices.
