Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of producing vertical tail molds, in particular to a mold for producing an integrally formed vertical tail built-in antenna. Background Art
[0002] The vertical tail of a drone is a critical structural component, primarily used for flight stability and directional control. It helps maintain the drone's attitude during flight and prevents lateral sway. Control surfaces (such as the rudder) on the tail control the drone's heading, enabling it to turn left or right. The design of a drone's vertical tail is crucial to its overall flight performance and control capabilities, so the design and manufacturing process requires comprehensive consideration of aerodynamic characteristics, material selection, and control system coordination.
[0003] The vertical tail's built-in antenna can be used for data transmission, remote control signal reception, and GPS positioning. In recent years, with the development of antenna technology, link antennas have become increasingly thinner and lighter, but this has also led to the problem of antennas being easily broken and damaged.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention designs a mold for manufacturing an integrated vertical tail built-in antenna to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold for making an integrated vertical tail built-in antenna, which solves the technical problem that in recent years, with the development of antenna technology, link antennas are becoming thinner and lighter, but also easily break and damage the antenna.
[0006] The solution adopted by the utility model is: a mold for manufacturing an integrated vertical tail built-in antenna, including an upper mold and a lower mold, characterized in that:
[0007] The lower mold is provided with a positioning post, the upper mold is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning post, the upper mold and the lower mold are both provided with a vertical tail chamber, a composite material cloth is provided in the vertical tail chamber, foam is provided in the composite material cloth, a sheet antenna is provided in the foam, and an insert that cooperates with the glass fiber cloth is provided in the vertical tail chamber;
[0008] The sheet antenna is provided with an antenna connection line, and the lower mold is provided with an antenna connection line hole matched with the antenna connection line.
[0009] Preferably, a mold opening is provided on the lower mold.
[0010] Preferably, the composite material cloth is made of glass fiber.

[0019] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the attached Figure 1-5 The detailed description of the embodiments will clearly show that the structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all based on the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Example 1, a mold for manufacturing an integrated vertical tail built-in antenna, comprising an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2, characterized in that:
[0022] The lower mold 2 is provided with a positioning column 3, and the upper mold 1 is provided with a positioning hole 4 corresponding to the positioning column 3. The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are both provided with a vertical tail chamber 5, and a composite material cloth 6 is provided in the vertical tail chamber 5, and a foam 7 is provided in the composite material cloth 6. A sheet antenna 8 is provided in the foam 7, and an insert 9 that cooperates with the glass fiber cloth is provided in the vertical tail chamber 5.
[0023] The chip antenna 8 is provided with an antenna connection line 10 , and the lower mold 2 is provided with an antenna connection line hole 11 that matches the antenna connection line 10 .
[0024] As an optional solution of Example 1, a mold opening 12 is provided on the lower mold 2.
[0025] As an optional solution of Example 1, the composite material cloth 6 is made of glass fiber.
[0026] As an optional solution of Example 1, the composite material cloth 6 is made of carbon fiber.
[0027] The operation steps are as follows: separate the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2, place the composite material cloth 6 into the lower half of the vertical tail chamber 5 of the lower mold 2, and at the same time place the foam 7 and the sheet antenna 8 into the composite material. After the foam 7 is completely wrapped, the antenna connection line 10 passes through the composite material and is placed into the antenna connection line hole 11 provided in the lower mold 2. Since the vertical tail chamber 5 is set in the shape of a vertical tail, the composite material cloth 6 with the foam 7 and the sheet antenna 8 installed is merged through the upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 to form the shape of a vertical tail. The insert 9 is placed in the corresponding position of the vertical tail, forming a shaft hole at the rear end of the vertical tail, and the insert 9 is also placed in the vertical tail chamber 5;
[0028] The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are combined, and the positioning columns 3 and the positioning holes 4 facilitate the merging. The upper mold 1 and the lower mold 2 are firmly fixed with bolts and placed in a high-temperature furnace and heated to 100 to 120 degrees. After heating, they are taken out and demolded. The composite material will solidify after heating. At this time, the integrated molding of the vertical tail built-in antenna is completed. This mold is easy to disassemble and operate, and also reduces the production cost.
[0029] The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various variations that conform to the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
