Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of drone brackets, and in particular to a connection structure for drone brackets. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid progress of drone technology, drones have shown great application potential in multiple fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, and emergency rescue. In these diverse application scenarios, the mounting system of drones has become an indispensable key component for realizing specific functions. In the current market, most of the drone mounting connection components adopt traditional methods such as screw fixation or mechanical locking. Although these methods can effectively connect the mounting device to the drone fuselage, some limitations have also been exposed in practical applications.

[0003] Specifically, the installation processes of screw fixation and mechanical locking often require multiple steps and tool assistance, increasing the preparation time before use and the operation complexity for users. In addition, long-term use or frequent disassembly and installation may cause wear at the connection, thereby increasing the risk of screw loosening. Although this loosening can be mostly prevented through regular inspections and maintenance, under extreme flight conditions or without proper maintenance, it is still possible to affect the stability of the mounting device, thereby posing potential challenges to the flight stability and safety of the drone. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the traditional screw fastening method requires multiple steps and tools to complete the installation, increasing the preparation time before use, and the frequent disassembly and installation result in accelerated wear, requiring regular replacement of components and increasing the maintenance cost, this application provides a connection structure for drone brackets.

[0005] A connection structure for drone brackets provided by this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A connection structure for drone brackets includes a mounting connection component. The mounting connection component includes a mounting base. A connecting plate is provided at the lower end of the mounting base. A suspension plate is fixedly provided at the lower end of the connecting plate. A notch is provided on the suspension plate. A positioning plate is provided between the connecting plate and the suspension plate for installing the mounting system bracket. A limiting component is provided on the connecting plate. The limiting component includes a plurality of positioning columns that can move along the Z-axis for locking the relative position between the positioning plate and the mounting connection component.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting base includes a guiding column provided on the upper side of the connecting plate, and a mounting plate is provided at the upper end of the guiding column.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component further includes a connecting ring arranged outside the guiding column. The positioning column is fixedly connected to the connecting ring, and the lower end of the positioning column sequentially slides through the connecting plate and the positioning plate.

[0009] Preferably, a magnetic ring is arranged on the upper side of the connecting plate, and the connecting ring is made of a magnetic material that cooperates with the magnetic ring.

[0010] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the guiding column, and the spring is located between the mounting plate and the connecting ring.

[0011] In summary, the present application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0012] Through the coordinated use of the drone, the mounting connection component, the mounting component, and the limiting component, the device is pre-installed at the bottom of the drone through the mounting seat. When loading the mounting system bracket, push up the connecting ring to separate the positioning column from the connecting plate, and place the mounting component into the hanging plate along the notch, so that the positioning column is aligned with the positioning hole on the positioning plate. Under the action of force, the positioning column is clamped with the positioning plate to fix the mounting component on the drone. When disassembling, just push up the connecting ring to quickly remove the mounting component; compared with the prior art, it has the effects of easy disassembly, replacement, and simple operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The following will further describe the present application in detail with reference to the Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0018] An embodiment of the present application discloses a connection structure for a drone bracket. Refer to Figures 1-3, a connecting structure for a drone bracket, a drone 1 and a mounting and connecting component 2. The mounting and connecting component 2 includes a mounting base 201 detachably installed at the bottom of the drone 1. The mounting base 201 includes a mounting plate 2011 with mounting holes, and the mounting plate 2011 can be fixed to the bottom of the drone 1 through bolts. A guiding column 2012 is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 2011, and a connecting plate 202 is installed at the lower end of the guiding column 2012. Columns 203 are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 202. Among them, a hanging plate 204 is installed on the lower column 203, and a notch is formed on one side of the hanging plate 204, and a mounting component 3 is installed in the notch.

[0019] Refer to Figure 2 , the mounting component 3 includes a positioning plate 301 installed between the connecting plate 202 and the hanging plate 204. A number of positioning holes are formed on the positioning plate 301. A layer of cushioning pad can be added to the side where the connecting plate 202 and the hanging plate 204 are close to each other to reduce the influence of equipment vibration on the mounting component 3. A mounting bracket 302 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the positioning plate 301, and the mounting bracket 302 can be customized according to needs, such as a pan-tilt for installing a camera, a bracket for carrying objects, etc.

[0020] Refer to Figure 3 , a limiting component 4 is installed on the upper side of the connecting plate 202. The limiting component 4 includes a connecting ring 401 slidably sleeved on the mounting plate 2011, and a number of positioning columns 402 are installed at the lower end of the connecting ring 401. The lower ends of the positioning columns 402 slide through the connecting plate 202 and reach the positioning holes to limit the connecting plate 202. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 202, and a magnetic ring 403 is installed in the groove. The connecting ring 401 can be made of ferroalloy or nickel alloy. Through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic ring 403 and the connecting ring 401, the connecting ring 401 can be prevented from being separated from the positioning column 402 due to jolting.

[0021] Refer to Figure 2 , a spring 5 is further installed above the connecting ring 401. The spring 5 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guiding column 2012. The elastic force of the spring 5 presses the connecting ring 401 to make it closely fit the surface of the connecting plate 202, further preventing loosening or separation caused by vibration during flight and ensuring the stability of the mounting component 3.

[0022] The implementation principle of a connecting structure for a drone bracket in an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0023] Fix the mounting base 201 to the bottom of the drone 1 through bolts to complete the installation of the entire device on the drone 1.

[0024] When loading and mounting the system bracket, first, push up the connecting ring 401 so that the positioning post 402 is separated from the connecting plate 202. During this process, the connecting ring 401 compresses the spring 5. Then, place the mounting bracket 302 into the suspension plate 204 along the notch so that the positioning post 402 is aligned with the positioning hole on the positioning plate 301. Next, release the connecting ring 401. Under the elastic force of the spring 5 and the suction force of the magnetic ring 403 on the connecting ring 401, the connecting ring 401 moves downward along the mounting plate 2011, so that the positioning post 402 is inserted into the positioning hole, completing the clamping of the positioning plate 301 and fixing the mounting component 3 on the mounting connection component 2. When disassembling, just push up the connecting ring 401 to quickly remove the mounting component 3.
