[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0018] Reference Figure 1-4 A shock-absorbing frame for a surveying and mapping drone includes a slide rod 2, on which a telescopic mechanism with a telescopic function of a multi-stage electric push rod 3 is provided. The telescopic mechanism includes a sliding rod 4. In order to facilitate the output end of the multi-stage electric push rod 3 to drive the sliding rod 4 to slide, the output end of the multi-stage electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 40, and the bottom end of the sliding rod 4 is installed with an air spring shock absorber 5.
[0019] In this embodiment, a surveying and mapping drone 1 is included, and four slide rods 2 are fixedly installed at an angle on the bottom of the surveying and mapping drone 1. In order to make the sliding rod 4 slide out at an angle in the slide rod 2, the slide grooves of the four slide rods 2 are all slidably connected with sliding rods 4.
[0020] In this embodiment, a limit end 20 is provided on the four slide rods 2. In order to facilitate the installation of the multi-stage electric push rod 3, the input end of the multi-stage electric push rod 3 is fixedly installed in the limit end 20, and a connecting block 40 is provided on the top of the sliding rod 4; the UAV shock absorber frame consists of a slide rod 2, a multi-stage electric push rod 3, a sliding rod 4 and an air spring shock absorber 5.
[0021] In this embodiment, the mapping drone 1 is equipped with a sensor, and the air spring shock absorber 5 is equipped with a solenoid valve, an air pump, a pressure sensor and an ECU. The above structure can be seen in the accompanying drawings of the specification. Figure 4, sensors are used to monitor the status and environmental conditions of the vehicle in real time, such as vehicle height, acceleration, speed, road conditions and driver input, etc. These sensors send the collected data to the ECU, which is the controller. Since sensors are widely used in the field of drones and belong to existing technologies, their working principles will not be described in detail here; ECU is the core of the air spring shock absorber 5 control system. It receives data from sensors and processes it according to preset algorithms and logic. ECU can identify the current status of the surveying and mapping drone 1 and issue control instructions accordingly; solenoid valve is a key component for controlling gas flow. In the air spring shock absorber 5, the solenoid valve is usually used to control the gas channel between the main air chamber and the gas tank or the atmosphere. When the ECU issues a command, the solenoid valve will open Or close the corresponding gas channel to realize the filling or discharge of gas; the air pump is used to fill the main air chamber of the air spring shock absorber 5 with compressed air. When the suspension needs to be raised, the ECU will control the air pump to start and send compressed air into the main air chamber. The air pump is usually driven by an electric motor and is equipped with a pressure sensor to monitor the output pressure of the air pump; the pressure sensor is used to monitor the air pressure inside the air spring shock absorber 5. They send the detected air pressure value to the ECU so that the ECU can understand the current state of the suspension in real time. The ECU adjusts the working state of the solenoid valve and the air pump according to the feedback of the pressure sensor to keep the suspension within the set height range; the above structure belongs to the prior art, and its working principle will not be elaborated here; the surveying and mapping drone 1 is equipped with a charging module.
[0022] In this embodiment, the multi-stage electric push rod 3, sensor, solenoid valve, air pump, pressure sensor and ECU are all electrically connected to the charging module; the multi-stage electric push rod 3 is controlled by the ECU.
[0023] The use method and advantages of this utility model: When the shock-absorbing frame for surveying and mapping UAV is used, the working process is as follows:
[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the surveying and mapping UAV 1 takes off and lands in an area with complex terrain, such as a mountain, desert, or snowy environment, the operator remotely controls the ECU through a remote controller. The ECU controls the multi-stage electric push rod 3 to extend. In the process of the output end of the multi-stage electric push rod 3 pushing from the input end, the output end of the multi-stage electric push rod 3 pushes the connecting block 40 and the sliding rod 4 out. The sliding rod 4 drives the air spring shock absorber 5 to tilt and push out. When the surveying and mapping UAV 1 takes off and lands in an environment with complex terrain, the extension and retraction range of the landing gear air spring shock absorber 5 is increased, thereby improving the stability and passability of the surveying and mapping UAV 1 on complex terrain.
[0025] By installing a solenoid valve, an air pump, a pressure sensor and an ECU in the air spring shock absorber 5, the setting of the air spring shock absorber 5 can effectively absorb the impact energy during the take-off and landing of the surveying and mapping UAV 1, and can also freely adjust the shock absorption effect by adjusting the air pressure of the inflation space, providing a more flexible and reliable shock absorption guarantee for the surveying and mapping UAV 1.
[0026] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
