Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of guide mechanisms, and in particular to a cable guide protection device for a UAV cabin. Background Art

[0002] Medium- to large-sized tethered drones are typically equipped with supporting systems such as power generation equipment and tether cable retraction and deployment equipment. To accommodate more flexible usage scenarios, medium- to large-sized drones are typically mounted on a carrier vehicle within an equipment cabin. When the drone is operating, it pulls the tether cable out of the cabin, and the cabin cover closes, creating a gap for the cable to pass through. Since the drone's hovering position and flight attitude may be constantly adjusting after launch, its position may shift relative to the carrier vehicle. Therefore, the tether cable cannot generally be maintained perpendicular to the cabin roof, potentially causing damage or scratches in the gaps in the cabin roof. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this application is to provide a cable guide protection device for a drone cabin, which aims to solve the problem that the cables are scratched or damaged by the cabin cover when passing through the gaps in the cabin top cover.

[0018] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] The top cover of the tethered drone cabin has three states: open when the drone is entering or exiting the cabin; a gap between the two cover plates 10 when the drone is flying outside the cabin; and closed when the drone is stowed. The utility model is used to guide and protect the cable while the gap between the two cover plates 10 is left when the drone is flying outside the cabin, as described below.

[0021] The utility model discloses a cable guide protection device for a UAV cabin, comprising two symmetrically arranged guide mechanisms 20, each guide mechanism 20 comprising a guide plate 21, a wire groove 24 being provided on one side of the guide plate 21 close to the other guide plate 21, and an elastic component 23 being elastically connected to the other side of the guide plate 21; the two guide plates 21 are slidably connected to the top cover of the UAV cabin; the two guide plates 21 having the wire groove 24 on one side slide toward each other and dock under the action of the elastic component 23 to form a guide through hole for protecting the cable. The top cover comprises two cover plates 10, wherein the two cover plates 10 are symmetrically arranged and closed by moving horizontally toward each other; a guide mechanism 20 is provided on each cover plate 10. The two guide mechanisms 20 use identical zero cover plates, which reduces the number of zero cover plate varieties of the device and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0022] When the two cover plates are in the open state, the distance between the two guide plates 21 is smaller than the distance between the two cover plates 10. Therefore, when the two cover plates 10 move toward each other to close, the two guide plates 21 close first, thereby ensuring that when a gap is left between the cover plates 10, the two guide plates 21 form a guide through hole, so that the cable is located in the guide through hole to guide the cable.

[0023] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the cables from being scratched or damaged, the inner wall of the cable trough 24 can be formed into an arc surface, and the bending radius of the cable can be ensured to be no less than 60 mm, thereby providing anti-damage protection for the cables; all spliced joints are tightly fitted, and all contact points between the cable trough 24 and the cables are smooth, thereby minimizing the possibility of friction damage to the cables along the inner wall of the cable trough 24.

[0024] The two guide plates 21 are slidably connected to the cover plate 10 via a sliding assembly 22. Furthermore, the sliding assembly 22 includes a slide plate 221 and a guide rail 222. The slide plate 221 is fixed to the bottom of the guide plates 21; the guide rail 222 is fixed to the cover plate 10, and the slide plate 221 is slidably connected to the guide rail 222. The slide plate 221 is fixed to the bottom of the guide plates 21, and as the slide plate 221 slides along the guide rail 222, the guide plates 21 are driven to move along the cover plate 10.

[0025] The sliding components 22 include two, and the elastic component 23 is located between the two sliding components 22. The movable end of the elastic component 23 is connected to the guide plate 21, and the fixed end is connected to the cover plate 10. When the cover plate 10 is in the open state, the elastic component 23 is in an extended state, that is, a non-compressed state. When the two cover plates 10 move toward each other and begin to close, the two guide plates 21 are pre-closed. As the two top plates continue to move toward each other, the two guide plates 21 compress the elastic component 23 and remain in a closed state until the two top plates are closed. When the two top plates are separated, the guide plates 21 continue to compress the elastic component 23 until the two guide plates 21 separate. The guide plates 21 return to their initial position under the restoring force of the elastic component 23. From the closing of the two guide plates 21 to the closing of the top plate, while the elastic component 23 is compressed, its restoring force makes the guide groove formed by the two guide plates 21 more compact and secure.

[0026] Furthermore, the elastic assembly 23 includes a core shaft 231, a spring seat 232, and a spring 233. The spring seat 232 is fixed to the cover plate 10. One end of the core shaft 231 is connected to the guide plate 21, and the other end of the core shaft 231 is located in the spring seat 232. The core shaft 231 moves in the spring seat 232. The spring 233 is sleeved on the outside of the core shaft 231. One end of the spring 233 abuts the guide plate 21, and the other end abuts the spring seat 232. When the two guide plates 21 move in opposite directions, the core shaft 231 moves into the spring seat 232, while compressing the spring 233.

[0027] Each guide plate 21 has a positioning cone 25 and a corresponding positioning hole 26 on its sidewall. The wire groove 24 is located between the positioning cone 25 and the positioning hole 26, with the two positioning cones 25 positioned alternately. The coordination between the positioning cones 25 and the positioning holes 26 ensures a smooth, seamless mating of the two guide plates 21 without protrusions or edges.

[0028] The cable guide protection device further includes a shield 30 , which is fixed on the cover plate 10 . The sliding assembly 22 and the elastic assembly 23 are located inside the shield 30 , and the guide plate 21 extends out of the shield 30 .

[0029] The cable guide and protection device also includes a base plate 40, which is fixed to the cover plate 10. The sliding assembly 22 and the elastic assembly 23 are located on the base plate 40. Furthermore, the base plate 40 is designed with a mounting locating edge, and the guide rails 222 are fixed to the base plate 40 along the locating edge. This ensures the parallelism of the two guide rails 222, allowing the slide plate 221 to slide freely. The guide rails 222 are made of smooth, hard-anodized aluminum alloy, and the slide plate 221 uses an engineering plastic self-lubricating slider, ensuring the corrosion and weather resistance of the device's moving cover plate and ensuring the reliability of the device.

[0030] The working principle of the cable guide protection device of the UAV shelter of the utility model is as follows:

[0031] Initially, if Figure 2 As shown, the cover 10 is in the open state and the spring 233 is in the extended state. When the two cover plates 10 move toward each other and start to close, the two guide plates 21 are closed in advance. As the two top plates continue to move toward each other, the two guide plates 21 remain in the closed state and move back along the guide rail 222, while compressing the spring 233. When the distance between the two top plates is about 5 cm, the two top plates stop moving. Figure 3 The cover plate 10 is in a gap-retaining state, and the cables are guided in the guide holes formed by the two cable grooves 24; when the drone needs to be stored, the two top plates begin to separate, and the guide plate 21 still compresses the elastic component 23 until the two guide plates 21 separate, and the guide plate 21 returns to its initial position under the restoring force of the spring 233.

[0032] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
