[0045] Preferably, the quick-release base 1 is fixed on the drone by four screws on the four sides of the quick-release base 1.

[0046] like Figure 6The quick-release structure of a drone-mounted device shown is fixed to the top of the drone by four screws. It serves as a quick-release base, and the onboard equipment can be removed or installed through the structure.

[0047] Preferably, the left inverted buckle 303 and the right inverted buckle 304 are arranged opposite to each other on the quick-release base 1 .

[0048] Preferably, the spring member 3052 is a spring.

[0049] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0050] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention discloses a quick-release structure for drone-mounted equipment. A button 3051 is installed upward within a spring button through-hole 101. The button 3051 is compressed below by two springs attached to two positioning posts 30531 of a button baffle 3053. The button baffle 3053 is secured to the quick-release base 1 with two screws, ultimately forming a spring-loaded, depressible button assembly 305. The left socket 301 and the right socket 302 at the rear end of the quick-release base 1, the left inverted buckle 303 on the left side of the quick-release base, the right inverted buckle 304 on the right side of the quick-release base and the spring button assembly 305 passing through the spring button through-hole 101 at the front end of the quick-release base constitute a locking structure 3.

The spring button assembly blocks the horizontal pulling limit surface of the device, and finally constrains and fixes the device. That is to say, the two plugs at the rear end and the two left and right inverted buckles fix the device, and the button at the front end is pressed as a gate. Pressing realizes the movable opening and closing channel, so that the device can be inserted or detached.

[0051] When the onboard device is to be withdrawn, the button is pressed, and the spring is forced downward, causing the button to be lower than the plane of the quick-release base, allowing the device to slide in or out smoothly. Conversely, after the device is slid in, the spring pushes the button upward, causing the end surface of the button to rise above the plane of the base, blocking the only escape route for the device and achieving fixation.

[0052] The utility model discloses a quick-disassembly structure for UAV airborne equipment, which can quickly realize the installation or disassembly function of its carrier by using a simple geometric shape and a spring combination. Compared with screw fixation which requires the use of tools, the quick-disassembly structure is simpler, more convenient and reliable, and the action is more streamlined.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary geologists in this field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.

[0054] Many other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the concept and scope of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to specific embodiments, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
