Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle football, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle football with a pointing structure. Background Art
[0002] Drone football is an emerging sport that combines technology and sports. Unlike traditional football games, aerial football competition equipment is a drone equipped with a spherical outer basket. Generally, the operator controls the drone football through radio remote control to fly quickly along a specific path in the stadium; or teams participate, with the goal of passing through the circular goal on the opponent's side as the goal, attacking and defending each other, and the team with more goals within the limited time wins.
[0003] Since the drone football will perform flexible forward, backward and lateral movements during the activity, but the current structure of the drone football is relatively simple, and it does not have a specific movement prompt structure, and the movement of the drone football cannot be clearly observed in real time, resulting in the inability to judge the action state of the drone football in some specific scenarios and the inability to perform fine control. In this regard, some methods currently hang streamers at the bottom of the spherical outer basket, that is, simply tie the streamers and fix them at the bottom of the drone football. Although the tilting and swinging of the streamers when the drone football flies can also determine the movement of the drone football, the simple knotting method is used to fix the streamers, and the swinging posture of the streamers is seriously affected by the structure of the knot, and it is impossible to flexibly and accurately perform the accompanying swing at various angles, and there is a certain indication error. Utility Model Content

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the bottom of the movable part of the universal ball head is detachably connected to an extension part, which is a conical structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom and hollow, and the top of the hanging rope is inserted into the interior of the extension part and fixed.
[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the counterweight block is a water drop-shaped structure.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the connection between the counterweight block and the streamer is a hinged structure.
[0012] On the basis of the above technical solution, a threaded connection structure is adopted between the extension part and the movable part of the universal ball head.
[0013] On the basis of the above technical solution, a fluorescent body is arranged on the streamer.

[0029] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] Example 1: Combination Figures 1-5 This embodiment discloses a UAV football with a directional structure, which aims to solve the problem that the directional ribbon 6 at the bottom of some existing UAV footballs cannot achieve flexible swinging at various angles.
[0031] The drone soccer ball includes a shell 1 of a spherical basket structure, which is made of modified reinforced plastic and has good structural strength, and can protect the internal structure in the event of a collision or drop. The shell 1 is evenly distributed with a plurality of hollow structures, which can allow smooth air circulation inside and outside the shell 1, so that the drone module 2 inside can work normally. In addition, the hollow structure can also make the shell 1 lightweight and improve flight flexibility.
[0032] The housing 1 is composed of two upper and lower hemispherical shells, which are connected by a snap-fit structure.
[0033] The inner side of the hemispherical shell at the bottom of the outer shell 1 is provided with a first bracket 11 and a second bracket 12 spaced apart in an upper and lower manner. A drone module 2 is arranged on the first bracket 11, which is a prior art. Its specific structure and working principle are not described here in detail. Those skilled in the art can select and implement from the prior art according to the actual operation conditions. When in use, the drone module 2 serves as a flight driving source to drive the entire outer shell 1 to fly.
[0034] A pointing module is connected to the bottom of the center of the second bracket 12 for the operator to observe and judge the flight dynamics of the drone football in real time.
[0035] Specifically, the pointing module includes a universal ball head 3, a hanging rope 4, a counterweight 5 and a streamer 6 arranged at the bottom of the second bracket 12. The above structures work together to achieve a flexible and accurate accompanying pointing effect.
[0036] Further, combined with Figure 3As shown, the universal ball head 3 includes a fixed part 31 and a movable part 32 which are connected to move up and down. A base 13 is provided at the coincidence of the longitudinal center line of the second bracket 12 and the housing 1. The base 13 is of a disc structure, and the fixed part 31 of the universal ball head 3 is connected to the center position at the bottom of the base 13.
[0037] The fixed part 31 is of a spherical structure, and the movable part 32 is a sleeve body with a spherical slot hole, which can be flexibly sleeved on the bottom of the fixed part 31, and an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is filled between the two.
[0038] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5 An extension part 33 is detachably connected to the bottom of the movable part 32 of the universal ball head 3. The extension part 33 is a tapered cylinder structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom and hollow. A threaded connection structure is adopted between the extension part 33 and the movable part 32 of the universal ball head 3. The top of the hanging rope 4 penetrates into the interior of the extension part 33 and is fixed by a knot 41. This structure enables the bottom structure including the hanging rope 4 to be conveniently maintained and replaced.
[0039] A counterweight 5 is arranged at the bottom of the hanging rope 4. The counterweight 5 is of a water droplet shape. Its function is to make the hanging rope 4 in a vertical state when the drone football hovers through appropriate counterweight, and enable the bottom of the hanging rope 4 to have a certain associated swinging ability during the vector flight of the drone, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the swinging direction during following.
[0040] A ribbon 6 is connected to the bottom of the counterweight 5 and extends downward to the outer area of the housing 1. A hollow gap for the pointing module to swing is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The hollow gap provided at the bottom of the housing 1 provides enough swinging space for the pointing module, reduces the obstruction of the housing 1 to the swinging of the ribbon 6, and further improves the pointing accuracy.
[0041] It should be noted that the connection between the counterweight 5 and the ribbon 6 is a hinged structure. The hinged structure includes a first connecting piece 51 at the bottom of the counterweight 5 and a second connecting piece 61 at the center position of the top of the ribbon 6. The second connecting piece 61 is rotatably sleeved on the bottom of the first connecting piece 51. The hinged structure of the ribbon 6 and the counterweight 5 allows the ribbon 6 to have a certain degree of freedom when affected by external factors such as wind force, further improving the flexibility of its following swing.
[0042] In this embodiment, the position of the counterweight 5 is adapted to the position of the hollow gap at the bottom of the outer shell 1. The counterweight 5 will contact the side wall of the hollow gap after swinging a certain amplitude, which effectively controls the swing amplitude of the counterweight 5 and prevents the streamer 6 from accidentally entangled on the outer shell 1 due to excessive swinging. In addition, the pointing module composed of the universal ball head 3, the hanging rope 4, the counterweight 5 and the streamer 6 can reduce the workload of the streamer 6, so that the length of the streamer 6 can be effectively shortened, and a better accompanying pointing effect can be achieved, thereby reducing the risk of the streamer 6 being entangled with the external site structure due to being too long.
[0043] Example 2: Based on Example 1, Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a fluorescent body 62 is provided on the streamer 6. The fluorescent body 62 is a fluorescent pattern provided on both sides of the streamer 6. The pattern in this embodiment is an arrow structure. The fluorescent body 62 can improve the recognition in scenes with insufficient light and can emit bright light under lighting conditions, so that the drone football can be clearly identified even at a long distance or in an environment with insufficient light, thereby improving the viewing experience and safety of the game.
[0044] Embodiment 3: Based on Embodiment 1, Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the tail of the streamer 6 is provided with a side wing 63, which is a triangular sheet structure and is perpendicular to the main body of the streamer 6 after connection. The function of the side wing 63 is to move the center of gravity of the streamer 6 backward, improve the swing sensitivity of the tail, and increase the wind resistance of the tail of the streamer 6, so that the swing response of the streamer 6 is more obvious.
[0045] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
