The other end of the first track frame 5 is connected to a second track frame 6 through a telescopic component. The inner walls of the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6 are slidably connected to the same ejection frame 10. A power component for driving the movement of the ejection frame 10 is arranged inside the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6. The power component is a commonly used component in this technical field. The bottom outer wall of one end of the second track frame 6 far from the first track frame 5 is connected to a connecting frame 7. The bottom end of the connecting frame 7 is rotatably connected to a threaded telescopic rod 8. A limit pin 9 is arranged on one side of the connecting frame 7. The limit pin 9 is in limit sliding fit with the rotating shaft of the threaded telescopic rod 8.
[0031] The telescopic component includes a contraction cavity 11 and a guide groove 12. The contraction cavity 11 is opened on the inner wall of the bottom end of the first track frame 5. The guide groove 12 is opened on the inner walls on both sides of the contraction cavity 11. One end of the guide groove 12 is a semi-circle. The second track frame 6 is slidably matched with the inner wall of the contraction cavity 11. A slider 13 is arranged on the side wall of one end of the second track frame 6. The slider 13 is slidably matched with the slider 13. A protrusion for limiting the slider 13 is arranged on the inner wall of one end of the guide groove 12. A connecting rod 14 is arranged at one end of the second track frame 6. A slot matched with the connecting rod 14 is opened on the side wall of one end of the first track frame 5.
[0032] Protective shells 2 are hinged on the outer walls on both sides of the base 1. A connecting buckle 3 is arranged at one end of the protective shell 2. The connecting buckle 3 is an existing technology, so it will not be elaborated here. A handle is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the protective shell 2.
[0033] When launching, the device as a whole is moved to the launch position through the handle, the connecting buckle 3 is unlocked, and the two protective shells 2 are unfolded to both sides of the base 1, and the combination of the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6 is exposed. The threaded telescopic rod 8 is rotated to support one end of the second track frame 6. After the adjustment is completed, the limit pin 9 limits the relative rotation of the threaded telescopic rod 8 and the connecting frame 7. Then, the length of the threaded telescopic rod 8 is adjusted according to the launch angle. The second track frame 6 is pulled to one side. The second track frame 6 moves relative to the first track frame 5 in the contraction cavity 11, and the slider 13 moves along the guide groove 12. When the slider 13 moves to the arc end of the guide groove 12, the connecting rod 14 moves away from the first track frame 5. At this time, the slider 13 is made to continue moving along the guide groove 12, and one end of the second track frame 6 is made to move towards the first track frame 5, and the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the slot, so that the combination of the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6 is unfolded. The second track frame 6 is supported by the threaded telescopic rod 8. Then, the ejection frame 10 is driven to move through the power component in the second track frame 6 for ejection. After use, the above operations are repeated in reverse to fold the first track frame 5, the second track frame 6 and the threaded telescopic rod 8, and the protective shells 2 are closed to store the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6.
[0034] By setting the telescopic component, the connecting frame 7 and the limit pin 9, the device can be folded during storage and transportation, reducing the occupied space of the device.
[0035] By providing the protective shell 2 and the connecting buckle 3, the surroundings of the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6 are shielded and protected after folding, preventing the first track frame 5 and the second track frame 6 from being damaged by impact during storage and transportation.
[0036] Embodiment 2
[0037] A catapult device. On the basis of Embodiment 1, the following improvements are made in this embodiment, as Figure 1 、 Figure 5 shown, the connecting seat 4 and the base 1 are connected by a connecting component 15. The connecting component 15 includes a connecting disk 16 and a rotating disk 17. The connecting disk 16 is arranged on the outer wall of the top end of the base 1. The rotating disk 17 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the top end of the connecting disk 16. The connecting seat 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the top end of the rotating disk 17. The outer wall of the top end of the connecting disk 16 is provided with a limit groove 18 in a circular array. One side of the rotating disk 17 is slidably connected with a positioning rod 19. The bottom end of the positioning rod 19 is inserted into the limit groove 18. A return spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning rod 19. A moving plate 20 is connected to the side wall of the positioning rod 19. The inner wall of the rotating disk 17 is provided with limit blocks 21 opposite to each other. The moving plate 20 is in limit sliding fit with the limit blocks 21. There is an avoidance cavity between the top end of the moving plate 20 and the rotating disk 17.
[0038] During use, when the device deviates in direction due to the reaction force of catapulting or when the catapulting direction needs to be adjusted, pull up the positioning rod 19 upward to make the moving plate 20 move upward along the limit blocks 21. When the moving plate 20 moves to the avoidance cavity, the bottom end of the positioning rod 19 disengages from the limit groove 18, and the rotating disk 17 and the connecting disk 16 can rotate relative to each other. At this time, rotate the positioning rod 19 to drive the moving plate 20 to rotate, so that the moving plate 20 is limited by the limit blocks 21 and cannot slide along the limit blocks 21. Then lift one end of the second track frame 6, and drive the rotating disk 17 to rotate according to the direction to be adjusted to make the adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, reverse the positioning rod 19 to make the positioning rod 19 reset under the push of the return spring.
[0039] By providing the connecting component 15, it is convenient for a single person to adjust the catapulting direction without the need for multiple people to move and adjust the device.
[0040] Embodiment 3
[0041] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment of the present application further includes a drone 22 cooperating with the catapult frame 10. The drone 22 can be any existing small fixed-wing model.
[0042] Working principle: During launch, the entire device is moved to the launch position through the handle, the connecting buckle 3 is unlocked, and the two protective shells 2 are unfolded to both sides of the base 1, exposing the combination of the first rail frame 5 and the second rail frame 6. Rotate the threaded telescopic rod 8 so that the threaded telescopic rod 8 supports one end of the second rail frame 6. After the adjustment is completed, the limit pin 9 limits the relative rotation between the threaded telescopic rod 8 and the connecting frame 7. Then, adjust the length of the threaded telescopic rod 8 according to the launch angle, pull the second rail frame 6 to one side, and the second rail frame 6 moves relative to the first rail frame 5 in the contraction cavity 11, and the slider 13 moves along the guide groove 12. When the slider 13 moves to the arc end of the guide groove 12, the connecting rod 14 moves away from the first rail frame 5. At this time, let the slider 13 continue to move along the guide groove 12, make one end of the second rail frame 6 move towards the first rail frame 5, and the connecting rod 14 is inserted into the slot, so that the combination of the first rail frame 5 and the second rail frame 6 is unfolded. The second rail frame 6 is supported by the threaded telescopic rod 8, and then the ejection frame 10 is driven to move for ejection through the power component in the second rail frame 6. After use, reverse the above operations to fold the first rail frame 5, the second rail frame 6 and the threaded telescopic rod 8, close the protective shell 2, and store the first rail frame 5 and the second rail frame 6; when the device deviates in direction due to the reaction force of ejection or needs to adjust the ejection direction, pull up the positioning rod 19, so that the moving plate 20 moves upward along the limiting block 21. When the moving plate 20 moves to the avoidance cavity, the bottom end of the positioning rod 19 disengages from the limiting groove 18, and the rotating disk 17 and the connecting disk 16 can rotate relative to each other. At this time, rotate the positioning rod 19 to drive the moving plate 20 to rotate, so that the moving plate 20 is limited by the limiting block 21 and cannot slide along the limiting block 21. Then lift one end of the second rail frame 6, and let the second rail frame 6 drive the rotating disk 17 to rotate for adjustment according to the direction to be adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, reverse the positioning rod 19, and let the positioning rod 19 reset under the push of the return spring.
