Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural tools, in particular to a drone for agricultural spraying. Background Art
[0002] As the name suggests, plant protection drones are unmanned aircraft used for agricultural and forestry plant protection operations. This type of drone consists of three parts: a flight platform (fixed-wing, helicopter, multi-rotor aircraft), a navigation flight control, and a spraying mechanism. Spraying operations are achieved through ground remote control or navigation flight control. It can spray pesticides, seeds, powders, etc. It is also relatively convenient to use. Existing agricultural plant protection spraying drones do not have a shock absorption function when landing and taking off;
[0003] Existing Chinese patent CN215972100U discloses a drone for agricultural plant protection spraying. When the drone lands, a rubber plate pushes the mounting plate, pushing and squeezing the shock-absorbing spring and elastic rubber column to form a shock-absorbing effect, achieving a smooth landing.
[0004] However, the rubber plate in the above-mentioned agricultural plant protection spraying drone is always located outside the fixed shell. That is, before the drone takes off with a full load of spray liquid, the rubber plate will be under great pressure. When this part of the pressure is transmitted to the shock-absorbing spring and the elastic rubber column, the shock-absorbing spring and the elastic rubber column will be severely deformed, which makes the shock-absorbing spring and the elastic rubber column easily damaged, thereby reducing the service life of the shock-absorbing spring and the elastic rubber column.

[0026] A rubber strip 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the shock-absorbing plate 5034. A plurality of rubber strips 6 are provided and evenly spaced on the top of the shock-absorbing plate 5034 to prevent the shock-absorbing plate 5034 from moving up quickly and colliding with the inner wall of the mounting housing 5031 due to the impact of the drone body 1 just landing.
[0027] The spraying structure 3 includes a front housing 301, which is fixedly mounted on the left end of the drone body 1. A water pump 305 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the front housing 301. The output end of the water pump 305 is connected to a water inlet pipe 304. The right end of the water inlet pipe 304 is connected to the interior of the water tank 2. The output end of the water pump 305 is connected to a U-shaped tube 306.

The water outlet pipe 302 passes through the bottom of the front housing 301 through a bearing. The bottom end of the water outlet pipe 302 is connected to a spray rack 303. The spraying liquid in the water tank 2 is introduced into the water outlet pipe 302 through the water pump 305, the U-shaped tube 306, the U-shaped tube 306, and the rotary joint 307. The spraying liquid flows from the water outlet pipe 302 to the spray rack 303 and then sprays outward.

A sliding block 12 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 11, and a rack 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the sliding block 12. A sliding rod 9 is slidingly provided on the inner wall of the rack 10. The end of the sliding rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front housing 301, and the rack 10 is engaged with a gear 8. The gear 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 302. The motor 13 drives the reciprocating screw 11 to rotate, so that the sliding block 12 moves back and forth, and then drives the rack 10 to move back and forth, so that the rack 10 pushes the gear 8 to rotate forward and reverse, and then the water outlet pipe 302 rotates back and forth.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, fill the water tank 2 with spray liquid, turn on the drone body 1 for takeoff, and after the drone body 1 takes off, the spring 1 504 pushes the shock absorbing structure 503 downward, thereby driving the triangle plate 1 505 downward, so that the triangle plate 1 505 pushes the triangle plate 2 506 to move horizontally, until the triangle plate 1 505 and the triangle plate 2 506 are staggered, and the spring 2 508 pushes the triangle plate 2 506 to return to its original position. At this time, the triangle plate 1 505 is located below the triangle plate 2 506, so that the triangle plate 1 505 cannot move upward. The shock-absorbing structure 503 extends from the supporting shell 501, and the water pump 305 and the motor 13 are turned on to make the spraying frame 303 spray and rotate back and forth at the same time, so as to evenly spray the spraying area. When the drone body 1 lands, the shock-absorbing plate 5034 first contacts the ground. The vibration of the drone body 1 during landing is transmitted from the shock-absorbing plate 5034 to the damper 5032 and the spring three 5033. The damper 5032 and the spring three 5033 buffer and reduce the vibration during landing, so that the drone body 1 lands smoothly.
