Detailed implementation manners

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0044] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0046] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc. are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship, it is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use. This is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0047] In addition, if terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions, they cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0049] In the related art, after the aircraft needs to dock, the load is manually connected to the aircraft, and then the aircraft is started to fly to the destination for related operations. This method of mounting the load requires the aircraft to land first and then take off, so the efficiency is relatively low. If the load is manually mounted during the flight of the aircraft (such as an unmanned helicopter), there will be a certain safety risk for the operator.

[0050] In order to improve at least one of the deficiencies in the above related art, the embodiments of the present application provide a mounting device and a mounting method, which can mount the load while the aircraft is flying, without manually connecting the load and the aircraft, and can take into account both efficiency and safety.

[0051] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the mounting device 010 and the load 020 in an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the mounting device 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a hanging component 100, a load carrying and releasing component 200, and a guiding loading tooling 300. Among them, the load carrying and releasing component 200 is used to connect the load 020. In this embodiment, the load carrying and releasing component 200 can play the role of mounting the load 020 and releasing the load 020. The hanging component 100 is used to be connected to the aircraft. The hanging component 100 can cooperate with the load carrying and releasing component 200 under the drive of the aircraft, and lift the load carrying and releasing component 200 and the load 020 together to realize the mounting of the load 020. The guiding loading tooling 300 is used to be configured on the ground to support the load 020 that needs to be mounted on the aircraft. Specifically, the guiding loading tooling 300 supports the load 020 by supporting the load carrying and releasing component 200; at the same time, the guiding loading tooling 300 is also used to guide the cooperation between the hanging component 100 and the load carrying and releasing component 200. In this embodiment, the aircraft can be a helicopter, such as an unmanned helicopter or a manned helicopter. In addition, the aircraft can also be a compound-wing unmanned aircraft or a multi-rotor aircraft.

[0052] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the cooperation among the load carrying and releasing component 200, the hanging component 100, and the load 020 in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 It is a first assembly schematic diagram of the mounting bin 201 and the hanging component 100 in an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the hanging component 100 in the embodiment of the present application includes a connecting piece 110 and a limiting piece 120. One end of the connecting piece 110 is connected to the limiting piece 120, and the other end of the connecting piece 110 is used to connect the aircraft. The load carrying and releasing component 200 is used to connect the load 020. The load carrying and releasing component 200 includes a mounting plate 210. A limiting notch 211 is formed at the edge of the mounting plate 210. The connecting piece 110 can enter the limiting notch 211 from the opening of the limiting notch 211. The limiting piece 120 can abut against the mounting plate 210 when the connecting piece 110 in the limiting notch 211 moves along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210, so that the connecting piece 110 lifts the load carrying and releasing component 200. It should be understood that the mounting plate 210 needs to bear the upward thrust from the hanging component 100, so it needs to be made of a material with a certain strength, such as an alloy. The limiting notch 211 is used for the connecting piece 110 to enter, so that the limiting piece 120 can move below the mounting plate 210. After that, the limiting piece 120 rises to be able to abut against the mounting plate 210 to lift the load carrying and releasing component 200. It can be understood that the size of at least part of the section of the limiting notch 211 should be smaller than the size of the limiting piece 120, so as to prevent the limiting piece 120 from passing through the limiting notch 211 along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210 (usually the vertical direction).

[0053] In this embodiment, the connecting member 110 is a sling, and the limiting member 120 is a hanging hammer. Since the position control accuracy of the aircraft itself is limited, it may be difficult to accurately transport the connecting member 110 to the limiting notch 211 through its own flight. Therefore, in this embodiment, the connecting member 110 adopts a sling, and the sling has a certain flexibility. Therefore, even if the position control accuracy of the aircraft is not enough, the sling can adjust its position under the guidance of the relevant guide structure on the guide loading tooling 300 and the load carrying and delivery assembly 200, so as to enter the limiting notch 211, thereby improving the success rate of mounting. In addition, the use of a flexible sling is also convenient for storage. Optionally, the sling adopts a wire rope.

[0054] In this embodiment, the limiting notch 211 has a guide section 2111 and a limiting section 2112 connected in sequence along its depth direction. One end of the guide section 2111 is adjacent to the edge of the mounting plate 210 and forms an opening of the limiting notch 211. The other end of the guide section 2111 is connected to the limiting section 2112. The connecting member 110 can pass through the opening of the limiting notch 211 and the guide section 2111 in sequence and enter the limiting section 2112. The guide section 2111 gradually shrinks from the opening to the limiting section 2112. The size of the limiting section 2112 is smaller than the size of the limiting member 120, so that the limiting member 120 cannot pass through the limiting section 2112 along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210, that is, it is prevented from passing through the limiting section 2112 of the limiting notch 211 along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210. In this embodiment, the depth direction of the limiting notch 211 refers to the direction extending from the opening of the limiting notch 211 to the innermost end, and the depth direction of the limiting notch 211 is parallel to the mounting plate 210. By setting the guide section 2111, the opening of the limiting notch 211 is in the shape of a trumpet with a wide width, so that the connecting member 110 can enter the limiting notch 211 more easily. The guide section 2111 of the limiting notch 211 gradually shrinks from the opening to the limiting section 2112, so that the limiting section 2112 has a smaller width, and the limiting member 120 can not pass through, and the connecting member 110 can be effectively limited to prevent the limiting member 120 and the connecting member 110 from shaking relative to the mounting plate 210. When the load carrying and delivery assembly 200 is normally arranged to be transported by the aircraft, the mounting plate 210 is usually in a horizontal state; the opening of the limiting notch 211 has a horizontal orientation, so that the connecting member 110 of the hanging assembly 100 can enter. Optionally, the two inner side walls of the guide section 2111 form an angle of 30° to 90°.

[0055] Furthermore, two guide rods 213 are provided on the mounting plate 210, and the two guide rods 213 extend along the two inner side walls of the guide section 2111 and extend out of the opening of the limiting notch 211. In this embodiment, by providing two guide rods 213, the hanging assembly 100 can be better guided. When the connecting member 110 enters between the two guide rods 213 and moves toward the opening of the limiting notch 211, even if the movement direction of the connecting member 110 is not aligned with the opening of the limiting notch 211, after it abuts the guide rod 213, the connecting member 110 can also slide relative to the guide rod 213, thereby moving to the opening of the limiting notch 211 under the guidance of the guide rod 213.

[0056] Furthermore, a limiting groove 212 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 210 for contacting the limiting member 120. The limiting groove 212 is connected to the limiting notch 211 in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210. When the load carrying and delivery assembly 200 is hoisted, the connecting member 110 can be partially embedded in the limiting groove 212 to limit the sliding of the connecting member 110 toward the opening direction of the limiting notch 211. By providing the limiting groove 212 to cooperate with the limiting member 120, when the hanging assembly 100 hoists the load carrying and delivery assembly 200, the limiting member 120 is not easy to move under the mounting plate 210, thereby improving the stability of the mounting. In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the limiting groove 212 is an inner concave arc surface, and the limiting member 120 has an outer convex arc surface 121 for fitting with the inner concave arc surface. By abutting and cooperating between the two arc surfaces, the limit member 120 can be effectively limited; in addition, the concave arc surface of the limit groove 212 can also play a certain guiding role on the limit member 120, so that the limit member 120 can automatically adjust its horizontal position during the process of rising and pressing into the limit groove 212, so that the concave arc surface of the limit groove 212 is finally in contact with the convex arc surface 121 of the limit member 120.

[0057] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a second assembly diagram of the mounting compartment 201 and the hanging assembly 100 in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, a locking assembly 260 is provided on the mounting plate 210, and the locking assembly 260 includes a driving member 261 and a locking member 262 that is transmission-connected to the driving member 261, and the driving member 261 is used to drive the locking member 262 to move to the locking position and move away from the locking position; when the locking member 262 is in the locking position, the locking member 262 can prevent the connecting member 110 from moving out of the limiting notch 211, and when the locking member 262 moves away from the locking position, the connecting member 110 can move out of the limiting notch 211. By providing the locking assembly 260, it is possible to prevent the hanging assembly 100 from being separated from the load carrying and delivering assembly 200, and further improve the stability of the mounting.

[0058] In this embodiment, the locking member 262 is a rod, and the driving member 261 is transmission-connected between the two ends of the locking member 262, and is used to drive the two ends of the locking member 262 to rotate around the rotation axis of the locking member 262. The locking member 262 includes a locking segment 2621 and an unlocking segment 2622 that are connected in sequence along the length direction. When the locking member 262 is in the locking position, the locking segment 2621 can prevent the connecting member 110 from moving out of the limiting notch 211. The driving member 261 is also used to drive the locking member 262 to rotate after the locking member 262 is moved away from the locking position so that the unlocking segment 2622 pushes the connecting member 110 to move out of the limiting notch 211. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the locking member 262 is in the locked position and restricts the connecting member 110 within the limiting section 2112 of the limiting notch 211. When unlocking is required, the driving member 261 can drive the locking member 262 to rotate clockwise, so that the locking member 262 moves away from directly above the limiting notch 211, and the connecting member 110 can be moved out of the limiting notch 211. Furthermore, after unlocking, the driving member 261 can continue to drive the locking member 262 to rotate clockwise, so that the unlocking section 2622 can push the connecting member 110 to move from the limiting section 2112 to the guiding section 2111, and the connecting member 110 can be subsequently moved out of the limiting notch 211 driven by the aircraft (such as Figure 7 shown).

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the load carrying and delivery assembly 200 includes a mounting bin 201 forming a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is used to receive the stopper 120. The mounting plate 210 forms the top wall of the mounting bin 201, and the stopper notch 211 is connected to the receiving cavity in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210. The receiving cavity has an entrance and exit for the stopper 120 to enter and exit. The entrance and exit and the opening of the stopper notch 211 are located on the same side of the mounting bin 201, and the entrance and exit of the receiving cavity correspond to the opening position of the stopper notch 211. By providing the mounting bin 201, after the hanging assembly 100 lifts the load carrying and delivery assembly 200, the stopper 120 can be located in the mounting bin 201, and the shaking of the stopper 120 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the mounting.

[0060] In this embodiment, the mounting bin 201 includes a bottom plate 220 spaced apart from the mounting plate 210, and a receiving cavity is formed between the bottom plate 220 and the mounting plate 210. A plurality of columns 230 are connected between the bottom plate 220 and the mounting plate 210. Side nets 240 are connected between the columns 230, and the side nets 240 form the side walls of the mounting bin 201, thereby limiting the position of the limiting member 120. No side net 240 is provided between a pair of adjacent columns 230, thereby forming an entrance and exit of the receiving cavity. Optionally, the side net 240 is made of aluminum.

[0061] The payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 further includes a catapult 250 disposed outside the bottom plate 220. The catapult 250 is used for mounting and dropping the payload 020. Optionally, the catapult 250 can be controlled by a circuit to drop the payload 020.

[0062] Furthermore, the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 further includes a mounting bin support frame 270. The mounting bin support frame 270 is connected to the mounting bin 201 and is used to support the mounting bin 201. Specifically, the mounting bin support frame 270 includes two main cross beams 271 arranged in parallel at intervals. A support cross beam 272 is connected between the two main cross beams 271. The main cross beams 271 and the support cross beam 272 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 220 of the mounting bin 201 and are used to support the mounting bin 201. The main cross beam 271 is also used to support on the guiding loading tooling 300, so as to realize the setting of the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 on the guiding loading tooling 300.

[0063] Furthermore, the mounting bin support frame 270 further includes four longitudinal beams 273. Each main cross beam 271 is connected to two longitudinal beams 273. The four longitudinal beams 273 are arranged in parallel at intervals and can limit the payload 020 mounted on the catapult 250 to prevent it from shaking. In addition, the mounting bin support frame 270 further includes four strengthening beams 274. One end of the strengthening beam 274 is connected to the longitudinal beam 273, and the other end is connected to the main cross beam 271, so as to improve the overall strength of the mounting bin support frame 270.

[0064] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the guiding loading tooling 300 in an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the guiding loading tooling 300 has a loading station for supporting the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200. The guiding loading tooling 300 further has a guiding slope surface. One end of the guiding slope surface extends to the loading station. The guiding slope surface is used to guide the limiting member 120 to move towards the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 on the loading station. The payload 020 is first installed on the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 through the catapult 250, and then the payload 020 and the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 are arranged together on the loading station of the guiding loading tooling 300, waiting to be mounted by the aircraft. Under the guiding action of the guiding slope surface, the hanging assembly 100 is more likely to move to the position of the payload carrying and dropping assembly 200 and cooperate with it. The guiding slope surface has a supporting effect. After the limiting member 120 moves upward along the guiding slope surface, it can reach a height close to the mounting bin 201, so as to easily enter the accommodating cavity of the mounting bin 201.

[0065] In this embodiment, the guide loading tool 300 includes a bracket 310 and a guide plate 320. One side of the guide plate 320 forms a guide slope, and the other side is connected to the bracket 310. The bracket 310 includes a support beam 311 located at the loading station, and the support beam 311 is used to support the load carrying and delivery assembly 200. Specifically, the bracket 310 includes two support beams 311, and the two support beams 311 are used to support the main cross beam 271 of the mounting warehouse support frame 270, thereby supporting the entire load carrying and delivery assembly 200 and the load 020.

[0066] In this embodiment, the guide plate 320 is a flat plate. When the guide loading tool 300 is arranged on the ground, the guide plate 320 is inclined. The extension direction of the guide plate 320 is from the low point to the high point, and the loading station is located near the high point of the guide plate 320.

[0067] Furthermore, the guide loading tool 300 also includes two guide assemblies 330, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the guide slope, and a guide channel pointing to the loading station is formed between the two guide assemblies 330. The guide assembly 330 is used to guide the hanging assembly 100 to move along the guide channel to the loading station. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the guide channel is consistent with the extension direction of the guide plate 320, extending from the low point to the high point of the guide plate 320. The distance between the two guide assemblies 330 at one end away from the loading station is large, so that the hanging assembly 100 can easily enter between the two guide assemblies 330; the distance between the two guide assemblies 330 at one end close to the loading station is small, so that the hanging assembly 100 can be guided by the two guide assemblies 330 and move to the vicinity of the loading station to cooperate with the load carrying and delivery assembly 200.

[0068] In this embodiment, the guide assembly 330 includes a plurality of guide posts 331 spaced apart on the guide slope along the extending direction of the guide slope, and a guide rope 332 sequentially connected to each guide post 331. The guide rope 332 can play a good role in limiting and guiding the hanging assembly 100. In this embodiment, each guide assembly 330 includes three guide posts 331. In other optional embodiments, the guide rope 332 can also be replaced by a guide rod body.

[0069] The mounting method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented through the above-mentioned mounting device 010. Figure 6 This is a flowchart of a mounting method in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the mounting method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0070] Step S100, configuring the payload transport and delivery assembly 200 on the ground.

[0071] Taking the mounting device 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application as an example, first, the payload 020 is connected to the ejector 250 of the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200, and the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 with the payload 020 is arranged on the loading station of the guiding loading tooling 300. That is, the main cross beam 271 of the support frame of the payload 020 is supported by the support beam 311 of the guiding loading tooling 300. In this way, the configuration of the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 is completed. "Configuring the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 on the ground" in the present application includes both the process of loading the payload 020 and the process of arranging the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 on the loading station of the guiding loading tooling 300. In the embodiment of the present application, it is not limited to arranging the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 on the loading station of the guiding loading tooling 300, but should also include configuring it on other objects that are stationary relative to the ground. In other embodiments, the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200 can also be directly placed on the ground.

[0072] Step S200: Control the flight of the aircraft carrying the hanging assembly 100 so that the connecting member 110 enters the limiting notch 211 of the mounting plate 210.

[0073] Taking the mounting device 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application as an example, the hanging assembly 100 is driven by the aircraft, and under the guidance of the guiding assembly 330, the guiding plate 320, and the guiding rod 213, the connecting member 110 enters the opening of the limiting notch 211, and the limiting member 120 enters the entrance and exit of the mounting bin 201. Then, under the guiding action of the guiding section 2111 of the limiting notch 211, the connecting member 110 moves to the limiting section 2112 of the limiting notch 211, thus completing the entire process of the connecting member 110 entering the limiting notch 211 of the mounting plate 210.

[0074] Further, after the connecting member 110 enters the limiting notch 211 of the mounting plate 210, the mounting method further includes: controlling the driving member 261 to drive the locking member 262 to move to the locking position so that the locking member 262 prevents the connecting member 110 from moving out of the limiting notch 211. As Figure 4 shown, when the locking member 262 moves to the locking position, the locking section 2621 can block the connecting member 110 to prevent it from moving outwards from the limiting section 2112, thereby improving the success rate and stability of the mounting.

[0075] Step S300: Control the aircraft to rise so that the limiting member 120 abuts against the mounting plate 210 and lift the payload carrying and deploying assembly 200.

[0076] Taking the mounting device 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application as an example, after the connecting member 110 enters the limiting notch 211 of the mounting plate 210, the ascending of the aircraft will drive the limiting member 120 to ascend, so that it abuts against the mounting plate 210 and cooperates with the limiting groove 212. After that, the limiting member 120 will not shake under the action of the limiting groove 212, improving the mounting stability. The aircraft can carry the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 and the load 020 to fly to the destination.

[0077] Further, when it is necessary to drop the load 020, the ejector 250 can be controlled by an electrical signal to release the load 020, so that the load 020 can fall to the target position to achieve related operations.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, the load 020 can be a fire extinguishing bomb. After the aircraft mounts the fire extinguishing bomb and flies to the fire area, the load 020 is dropped into the burning area for fire extinguishing operations to achieve fire extinguishing. After that, the aircraft can carry the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 and continue to fly to the preset position. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and the load 020 can also be other items suitable for mounting and dropping for other purposes. For example, the load 020 can also be rescue supplies. After the aircraft mounts the rescue supplies and flies to the disaster area for dropping, after dropping the rescue supplies, the aircraft carries the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 and continues to fly to the preset position. Optionally, the preset position can be the recovery position of the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200.

[0079] Optionally, when it is necessary to release the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200, the mounting method further includes:

[0080] Step S400, controlling the aircraft mounting the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 to descend, so that the limiting member 120 is separated from the mounting plate 210 because the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 is supported;

[0081] Step S500, controlling the aircraft to fly so that the suspension assembly 100 is separated from the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200.

[0082] Taking the mounting device 010 provided in the embodiment of the present application as an example, when it is necessary to release the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200, first control the aircraft to descend. When the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 is supported by the ground or the guiding loading tooling 300, the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200 stops descending, while the suspension assembly 100 continues to descend, so that the limiting member 120 is separated from the mounting plate 210. After that, the aircraft should drive the connecting member 110 of the suspension assembly 100 to move outside the limiting notch 211, so as to realize the separation of the suspension assembly 100 and the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200. It should be understood that before the suspension assembly 100 is separated from the load-carrying and dropping assembly 200, the locking member 262 of the locking assembly 260 should be controlled to move away from the locking position to avoid interfering with the connecting member 110.

[0083] Further, after the limiting member 120 is separated from the mounting plate 210 due to the support of the load carrying and delivery assembly 200, the mounting method further includes: controlling the driving member 261 to drive the locking member 262 to move so that the locking member 262 pushes the connecting member 110 to move out of the limiting notch 211. In this embodiment, the locking member 262 not only has the function of limiting the connecting member 110, but also has the function of moving the connecting member 110 out of the limiting notch 211. It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the locking member 262 pushes the connecting member 110 to move out of the limiting notch 211, including pushing the connecting member 110 to move toward the opening of the limiting notch 211 within the limiting notch 211, such as pushing the connecting member 110 from the limiting section 2112 to the guide section 2111, so that the aircraft can subsequently drive the connecting member 110 to move out of the limiting notch 211. In other optional embodiments, the locking member 262 pushes the connecting member 110 to move out of the limiting notch 211 , and may further include pushing the connecting member 110 out of the limiting notch 211 from the opening of the limiting notch 211 . Figure 7 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a locking member 262 pushing a connecting member 110 in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the driving member 261 drives the locking member 262 to rotate, so that the unlocking section 2622 of the locking member 262 can push the connecting member 110 to move from the limiting section 2112 of the limiting notch 211 to the guiding section 2111. After the connecting member 110 moves into the guiding section 2111, it can continue to move out of the limiting notch 211 driven by the aircraft, and finally the hanging assembly 100 is separated from the load carrying and delivering assembly 200.

[0084] In summary, the embodiments of the present application provide a mounting device 010 and a mounting method. The mounting device 010 includes a hanging component 100 and a load carrying and dropping component 200. The hanging component 100 includes a connecting piece 110 and a limiting piece 120. One end of the connecting piece 110 is connected to the limiting piece 120, and the other end of the connecting piece 110 is used to connect to an aircraft. The load carrying and dropping component 200 is used to connect to a load 020. The load carrying and dropping component 200 includes a mounting plate 210. A limiting notch 211 is formed at the edge of the mounting plate 210. The connecting piece 110 can enter the limiting notch 211 from the opening of the limiting notch 211. The limiting piece 120 can abut against the mounting plate 210 when the connecting piece 110 in the limiting notch 211 moves along the thickness direction of the mounting plate 210, so that the connecting piece 110 hoists the load carrying and dropping component 200. The mounting method provided by the embodiments of the present application includes configuring the load carrying and dropping component 200 on the ground; controlling the flight of the aircraft loaded with the hanging component 100 so that the connecting piece 110 enters the limiting notch 211 of the mounting plate 210; controlling the aircraft to ascend so that the limiting piece 120 abuts against the mounting plate 210 and hoists the load carrying and dropping component 200. Through the mounting device 010 and the mounting method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the load 020 can be pre-loaded on the load carrying and dropping component 200 and configured together with the load carrying and dropping component 200 on the guiding loading tooling 300 on the ground. Then, when the aircraft does not dock, the load carrying and dropping component 200 can be hoisted by using the hanging component 100. This process does not require manual connection operations for the hanging component 100 and the load carrying and dropping component 200. Therefore, the load 020 can be mounted efficiently and reliably. In addition, it can also reduce labor costs and avoid the safety risks of operators mounting without docking the aircraft.
