DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1 and 2As shown, a drone rotor guard frame includes a mounting base 1, which can be set to a frame-type structure or a shell-type structure, and is the basic supporting structure of the entire guard frame. The forward and reverse thread screws 2 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1 through bearings, and the forward and reverse thread screws 2 are provided with two groups of threaded segments in opposite directions, and the two groups of threaded segments of the forward and reverse thread screws 2 are provided with sliding plates 3, and the sliding plates 3 are provided with threaded holes that cooperate with the forward and reverse thread screws 2. A limiting rod 5 parallel to the forward and reverse thread screws 2 is provided on the mounting base 1, and a sliding hole is provided on the sliding plate 3 with the limiting rod 5. The limiting rod 5 guides and limits the sliding plate 3, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 4 is provided on the sliding plate 3. Two groups of arc-shaped clamping plates 4 clamp and fix the drone's arm, and a first knob 6 is provided at one end of the forward and reverse thread screw 2. Connecting mechanisms 7 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 1, and the connecting mechanisms 7 are connected to the arc-shaped guard frame 10.

[0025] In actual use, the number of rotor guards is set according to the number of drone rotors. By turning the first knob 6, the two sets of sliding plates 3 can be simultaneously driven to move in opposite or relative directions. After adjusting the distance between the two sets of arc-shaped clamping plates 4, the two sets of arc-shaped clamping plates 4 are set on both sides of the drone's arm, that is, on both sides of the drone's rotor arm. Turning the first knob 6 drives the arc-shaped clamping plates 4 to adjust their position to clamp the drone's arm. Its arc-shaped design can better fit the shape of the drone's arm, providing a stable and uniform clamping force, effectively preventing the drone from shaking or falling off during flight. After clamping is completed, the connecting mechanism 7 is in a horizontal state. By setting multiple sets of rotor guards, multiple arc-shaped guards 10 form a ring frame. The arc-shaped guards 10 surround the drone rotor in the middle area to protect the drone rotor. The guards are clamped and fixed by the arc-shaped clamping plates 4, making it convenient to disassemble, assemble and replace the entire rotor guard, and conveniently protecting drones of different sizes.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Different from implementation 1, Figures 3-5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 7 includes a sliding sleeve 701, one end of the sliding sleeve 701 is closed and the other end is open, the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 701 is provided with at least one group of sliding grooves 702, the threaded sleeve 703 is arranged in the sliding sleeve 701 and extends from the open end of the East China sleeve 701, and the outer side of the threaded sleeve 703 is provided with a sliding block 704 that cooperates with the sliding groove 702, and the sliding block 704 can move longitudinally along the sliding groove 702. At the same time, the cooperation between the sliding groove 702 and the sliding block 704 can limit the threaded sleeve 703 in the circumferential direction.

[0028] The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 702 is provided with an internal thread, and a rotating rod 711 is provided in the sliding sleeve 701. One end of the rotating rod 711 is rotatably installed on the end of the sliding sleeve 701 through a bearing, and the other end is provided with a screw 710. The end of the threaded sleeve 702 is provided with a through hole for the rotating rod 711 to pass through, so that the rotating rod 711 can extend into the threaded sleeve 702 from the through hole. The screw 710 cooperates with the internal thread on the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 702. A driving mechanism for driving the rotating rod 711 to rotate is provided on the sliding sleeve 701. A connecting rod 705 is provided at the lower end of the threaded sleeve 703, and the connecting rod 705 is connected to the arc-shaped guard frame 10.

[0029] The driving mechanism drives the rotating rod 711 to rotate, causing the screw 710 to rotate synchronously. Due to the threaded fit between the screw 710 and the threaded sleeve 702, and the circumferential limiting effect of the sliding groove 702 on the threaded sleeve 703, the threaded sleeve 703 moves along the sliding sleeve 701, thereby adjusting the length of the threaded sleeve 703 extending out of the sliding sleeve 701, thereby realizing the length adjustment of the connecting mechanism 7.

[0030] When the sizes of drones are different, the coverage of their drone rotors is also different. By adjusting the length of the connecting mechanism 7, it can be docked and installed with arc-shaped guard frames 10 of different sizes, thereby adapting to drones of different sizes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving shaft 706 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sliding sleeve 701 through a bearing, a driving bevel gear 707 is provided on the driving shaft 706, a driven bevel gear 708 meshing with the driving bevel gear 707 is provided on the rotating rod 711, and a third knob 709 is provided at one end of the driving shaft 706.

[0032] The driving shaft 706 and the active bevel gear 707 are driven to rotate synchronously by the third knob 709. The active bevel gear 707 is engaged with the driven bevel gear 708, so that the rotating rod 711 rotates synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous rotation of the screw rod 710. Since the screw rod 710 and the threaded sleeve 702 are threadedly matched, the threaded sleeve 703 moves along the sliding sleeve 701, thereby adjusting the length of the threaded sleeve 703 extending out of the sliding sleeve 701, thereby realizing the length adjustment of the connecting mechanism 7.

[0033] Preferably, Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod 705 is connected to the arc-shaped guard frame 10 through the connecting seat 9. The connecting seat 9 is fixed on the arc-shaped guard frame 10 to form a guard frame mechanism. A slot 901 is provided on one side of the connecting seat 9. The end of the connecting rod 705 is inserted into the slot 901 and connected to the connecting seat 9 through a bolt 11.

[0034] Optionally, a pin hole is provided on one side of the end of the connecting rod 705, and a threaded hole is provided on the side wall of the slot 901 to cooperate with the bolt 11. The bolt 11 is screwed into the threaded hole and then inserted into the pin hole to achieve the installation of the connecting rod 705 and the connecting seat 9.

[0035] The connecting rod 705 is detachably connected to the connecting seat 9, which facilitates the replacement of arc-shaped guard frames 10 with different curvatures and lengths.

[0036] Example 3:

[0037] Different from Example 2, Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the connecting mechanism 7 is connected to the mounting base 1 through an angle adjustment mechanism 8. Each group of angle adjustment mechanisms 8 includes two groups of mounting plates 801 arranged on one side of the mounting base 1. The worm 802 is rotatably installed between the two groups of mounting plates 801. A hinged seat 807 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1. The rotating shaft 803 is rotatably installed on the hinged seat 807. The worm gear 804 is fixed on the rotating shaft 803. The worm gear 804 is engaged with the worm 802. The rotating shaft 803 is connected to the connecting mechanism 7 through a rotating plate 805. Specifically, the rotating plate 805 is connected to one end of the sliding sleeve 701, and a second knob 806 is provided at one end of the worm 802.

[0038] The worm 802 is driven to rotate by the second knob 806, and the worm 802 drives the rotating shaft 803 to rotate by engaging with the worm wheel 804, and the rotating plate 805 is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 803, so that the angle of the connecting mechanism 7 can be adjusted, so that the connecting mechanism 7 can be conveniently docked and installed with arc-shaped guards 10 of different sizes, and the angle can be adjusted to facilitate docking with the connecting seat 9.

[0039] The angle adjustment mechanism 8 is arranged on the mounting seat 1, which is used to adjust the angle of the connecting mechanism 7 to adapt to the layout and angle requirements of different UAV rotors, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the guardrail. The connecting mechanism 7 is assembled on the angle adjustment mechanism 8, and through telescopic adjustment, the overall size of the UAV rotor guardrail can be flexibly adjusted to ensure effective protection for rotors of different sizes. The arc-shaped guardrail 10 is arranged on the connecting mechanism 7 to directly wrap and protect the UAV rotor to prevent it from being impacted or damaged during flight or transportation, thereby improving the safety and service life of the UAV.

[0040] To sum up, the UAV rotor guard of the present invention realizes all-round, flexible and effective protection of the UAV rotor and its arm through the comprehensive application of the arc-shaped clamping plate 4, the angle adjustment mechanism 8, the connecting mechanism 7 and the arc-shaped guard frame 10, thereby improving the stability and safety of the UAV and having good versatility and adaptability.
