Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular to a tripod disassembly structure for an UAV. Background Art

[0002] A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, is an aircraft that does not require direct control by a pilot, but is controlled by a remote control or preset program. A drone does not require a pilot on board and can be controlled by a ground control station, a remote control or a preset flight program. Drones can be used in a variety of military, civilian, and commercial situations, such as reconnaissance, surveillance, photography, agriculture, express logistics, environmental monitoring, etc.

[0003] Existing drones and tripods are typically secured together using bolts. When using bolts to secure the drone and tripod, the operator must first ensure that the tripod's mounting holes are precisely aligned with those of the drone. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also highly susceptible to environmental factors and human error. Even the slightest misalignment during installation requires readjustment, which not only reduces installation efficiency but also increases operational difficulty. Traditional installation methods lack a pre-fixing mechanism. After the tripod and drone are initially aligned but before they are secured with bolts, any slight external force or accidental contact can cause the mounting holes to misalign, further extending installation time and increasing difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tripod disassembly structure for a drone to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tripod disassembly structure for a drone, comprising a drone body, a tripod mounted on the bottom of the drone body, a connecting assembly for facilitating the installation of the tripod and the drone body, and a limit assembly for preventing accidental contact and resulting in detachment, the connecting assembly comprising:

[0006] A fixing block is fixed on the top of the tripod, a groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing block, a mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the drone body, and a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting assembly further comprises a stabilizing block, the stabilizing block being fixed on the inner wall of the groove, a spring being fixed on the surface of the stabilizing block, one end of the spring being away from the stabilizing block being fixed with a limiting block, the end of the limiting block being away from the spring passing through the fixing block, and the limiting block being slidably connected to the fixing block, a slider being provided on the surface of the tripod, the slider passing through the tripod, and the slider being slidably connected to the tripod, a circular ring being fixed on the top of the slider, the top of the circular ring extending into the groove, and an interference groove being provided at the bottom of the limiting block, the fixing block being installed into the installation groove so that the limiting block enters the limiting groove, the drone body and the tripod are pre-fixed, and no accidental touch causing deviation occurs. When the tripod needs to be removed and replaced, the slider is pressed, and the top of the ring contacts the inclined surface of the interference groove, which can drive the limiting block to disengage from the limiting groove, and the tripod and the drone body can be normally separated.

[0008] Preferably, the limit assembly includes a base support, which is rotatably connected to the side of the tripod away from the fixed block, and a slide groove is provided on the inner side of the base support, and the inner wall of the slide groove is slidably connected to a connecting block, and a spring 2 is fixed to the surface of the connecting block, and one end of the spring 2 away from the connecting block is fixed on the inner wall of the slide groove, and a movable groove is provided on the surface of the slider, and a locking groove is provided on the surface of the slider. When the base support is rotated, the connecting block enters the locking groove, and the inner wall of the locking groove conflicts with the surface of the connecting block away from its inclined surface, so that the slider is limited and cannot be pressed. When the base support is rotated again, the connecting block enters the movable groove. When the slider is pressed, the connecting block will move in the movable groove and will not affect the normal movement of the slider.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the limit block away from the spring is set as an inclined surface, so that when it is interfered with, the limit block can enter the groove without affecting the installation.

[0010] Preferably, the interference groove is configured as an inclined surface, which is interfered with and can drive the limiting block to move closer to the stabilizing block, making disassembly easier.

[0011] Preferably, the cross section of the end of the connecting block away from the second spring is triangular. When the base rotates, the surface of the connecting block can contact the inner wall of the movable groove or the card slot, so that the connecting block enters the slide groove without affecting the normal rotation of the base.

[0012] Preferably, mounting holes are provided on the surfaces of the tripod and the drone body to facilitate fixing with bolts.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a tripod disassembly structure for a drone, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The tripod disassembly structure of the drone uses a connecting assembly to install the fixing block into the installation slot, so that the limit block enters the limit slot, which can pre-fix the drone body and the tripod, and will not cause deviation due to accidental touch, making it convenient for subsequent bolt fixing and easy installation of the tripod and the drone body. When the tripod needs to be removed and replaced, press the slider, and the top of the ring will contact the inclined surface of the contact slot, which can drive the limit block out of the limit slot, and the tripod and the drone body can be separated normally, making it easy to disassemble.

[0015] 2. The disassembly structure of the tripod of the drone is equipped with a limit assembly. When the tripod and the drone body are pre-fixed, the bottom bracket is rotated so that the connecting block enters the slot, which limits the slider and cannot be pressed. This can avoid accidental touch causing the slider to move when the pre-fixation is completed, affecting the stability of the tripod and the drone body. When disassembly is required, the bottom bracket is rotated again and the connecting block enters the movable slot. When the slider is pressed, the connecting block will move in the movable slot and will not affect the normal movement of the slider. The slider can be pressed normally to release the limit of the limit block and the limit slot, and then disassembly can be carried out. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the utility model provides a technical solution: a tripod disassembly structure of a drone, including a drone body 1, a tripod 2 is installed at the bottom of the drone body 1, and the surface of the tripod 2 and the drone body 1 are provided with a connecting component 3 that facilitates the installation of the tripod 2 and the drone body 1, and a limit component 4 that prevents accidental touch from causing falling off. The connecting component 3 includes: a fixing block 30, the fixing block 30 is fixed to the top of the tripod 2, a groove 33 is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 30, a mounting groove 31 is provided at the bottom of the drone body 1, and a limiting groove 32 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 31, the connecting component 3 also includes a stabilizing block 34, the stabilizing block 34 is fixed on the inner wall of the groove 33, a spring 35 is fixed on the surface of the stabilizing block 34, and a limiting block 36 is fixed on the end of the spring 35 away from the stabilizing block 34, and the end of the limiting block 36 away from the spring 35 passes through the fixed The top of the ring 38 is pressed against the inclined surface of the interference groove 39, which can drive the limit block 36 to disengage from the limit groove 32, and the tripod 2 and the drone body 1 can be separated normally.

[0023] The limiting assembly 4 includes a base 40, which is rotatably connected to the side of the tripod 2 away from the fixed block 30. A slide groove 41 is provided on the inner side of the base 40, and a connecting block 42 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 41. A spring 2 43 is fixed to the surface of the connecting block 42, and the end of the spring 2 43 away from the connecting block 42 is fixed to the inner wall of the slide groove 41. A movable groove 44 is provided on the surface of the slider 37, and a card slot 45 is provided on the surface of the slider 37. The cross section of the end of the connecting block 42 away from the spring 2 43 is triangular. Rotating the base 40 causes the connecting block 42 to enter the card slot. 45, the inner wall of the card slot 45 contacts the surface of the connecting block 42 away from its inclined surface, which limits the position of the slider 37 and prevents it from being pressed. This can prevent the slider 37 from being accidentally touched when the pre-fixation is completed, causing the limit block 36 to disengage from the limit slot 32, affecting the stability of the tripod 2 and the drone body 1. Rotate the base 40 again, and the connecting block 42 enters the movable slot 44. When the slider 37 is pressed, the connecting block 42 will move into the movable slot 44 and will not affect the normal movement of the slider 37, making it easier for people to contact the limit block 36 and the limit slot 32. The surfaces of the tripod 2 and the drone body 1 are both provided with mounting holes for easy fixing with bolts.

[0024] When the tripod 2 is installed with the drone body 1, the fixing block 30 is installed in the installation groove 31. At this time, the inclined surface of the limit block 36 contacts the inner wall of the installation groove 31. At this time, the limit block 36 moves close to the stabilizing block 34, causing the spring 1 35 to be compressed. When the fixing block 30 is completely entered into the installation groove 31, the limit block 36 is parallel to the limit groove 32, the spring 1 35 is released, and the limit block 36 is reset into the limit groove 32, so that the drone body 1 and the tripod 2 are pre-fixed, and no accidental touch will cause deviation, which will affect the subsequent bolt fixation. At this time, the tripod 2 is aligned with the mounting holes of the drone body 1, and can be fixed normally by bolts. When the tripod 2 needs to be replaced or maintained after a long time of use, the bolts are removed at this time. Press the slider 37, and the slider 37 drives the top of the ring 38 to contact the inclined surface of the contact groove 39, which can drive the limit block 36 to disengage from the limit groove 32, and the tripod 2 and the drone body 1 can be separated normally, which is convenient for installation. When the tripod 2 and the drone body 1 are pre-fixed by the connecting assembly 3, the bottom bracket 40 is rotated. At this time, the surface of the connecting block 42 contacts the inner wall of the movable groove 44, which allows the connecting block 42 to enter the sliding groove 41 and the spring 2 43 is compressed. When the position of the connecting block 42 is parallel to the locking groove 45, the spring 2 43 is released, allowing the connecting block 42 to enter the locking groove 45. At this time, the inner wall of the locking groove 45 contacts the surface of the connecting block 42 away from its inclined surface, which can limit the slider 37 and prevent it from being pressed. This can prevent the slider 37 from being accidentally touched when the pre-fixation is completed, causing the limit block 36 to disengage from the limit groove 32 and affect the stability of the tripod 2 and the drone body 1. At the same time, when disassembly is required, the bottom bracket 40 is rotated again to allow the connecting block 42 to enter the movable groove 44. When the slider 37 is pressed, the connecting block 42 will move into the movable groove 44 without affecting the normal movement of the slider 37, making it convenient for personnel to access the limit of the limit block 36 and the limit groove 32.

[0025] The above generally describes the present invention in detail. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements may be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
