These devices are typically designed for precision delivery and transportation. Drone-mounted drop mechanisms are crucial in modern material transportation and distribution, improving efficiency and safety while also reducing costs. With the continuous advancement of technology, the capabilities and application scope of these systems will continue to expand, profoundly impacting social and technological development. However, existing drone-mounted drop mechanisms utilize complex structures and control circuits to achieve both the pull of the safety pin and the release of the weapon. This results in a generally heavy device, high manufacturing costs, and a short effective flight time. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the current similar drone mounting and throwing devices use relatively complex structures and control circuits to achieve the two actions of pulling the safety pin and throwing, which makes the device generally heavy, the processing and production costs are relatively high, and the effective flight time of the drone is short.

[0005] The steering gear arm is connected to the slide rail inside the actuator through a transmission wire rope.

[0006] The modular throwing bin is composed of a plurality of plates connected in series via movable shafts.

[0007] The release pin passes through the release hole horizontally.

[0008] An embedded limiting spring piece is installed on the inner side of the plate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] (1) The UAV mounting and throwing device of the present invention adopts a single servo control design, which makes its structure simpler, reduces the weight of the device, and improves the load efficiency and flight time;

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The device shown is a device for mounting and throwing materials for an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising a mounting base 1; a servo 2 fixed inside the mounting base 1 and providing power for pin throwing; a servo arm 7 fixed on the servo shaft of the servo 2, and a transmission wire rope 8 fixed on the servo arm; an actuator 3 fixed to the mounting base 1 by a stud 6 below the mounting base, a zipper pin 11 and a release pin 10 fixed on the internal slide rail of the actuator 3, and the zipper pin 11 is equipped with a pull rod; a modular throwing bin 4 fixed below the mounting base 1, and a release hole 12 is opened on the side of the modular throwing bin 4.

[0022] In order to realize the throwing control, the servo arm 7 is used to pull the wire rope 8 to drive the slide rail 9 of the actuator 3 to move.

[0023] In order to simplify the control structure and reduce the weight, an integrated pull pin throwing actuator 3 is designed so that only one servo 2 is used to control the lock pin 11 and the release pin 10 to perform the pulling and throwing actions of the safety pin.

[0024] In order to smoothly execute the loading and throwing action, the modular throwing bin 4 is composed of three plates 13 and three movable shafts 14 in series. After the release hole 12 at the top of the plate 13 is released, the three plates 13 hang down along the movable shaft 14 under the action of gravity to release the materials.

[0025] An embedded limiting spring piece 15 is installed on the inner side of the plate 13 to enhance the support of the internal angle position for materials and ensure stability in the loaded state.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the number of plates 13 and movable shafts 14 in the modular throwing bin 4 can be increased or decreased according to the size of the materials.

[0027] This device consists of a mounting base 1, a servo 2, an actuator 3, and a modular throwing chamber 4. The mounting base 1 is used to mount and secure the servo 2, actuator 3, and modular throwing chamber 4 to the drone. The servo 2, equipped with a servo arm 7, pulls a steel wire rope 8 to power the actuator 3. The actuator 3 controls the pull pin 11 and release pin 10 in a time-sharing manner, pulling the safety pin and controlling the throwing action of the modular throwing chamber 4. The modular throwing chamber 4 is used to drop materials.

[0028] Loading method: As shown in the figure, when the modular throwing bin 4 is closed, lift the device horizontally and forward, push the slider 9 horizontally to the left, and at the same time, the release pin 10 moves to the left to leave the release hole 12. At this time, the movable component plate 13 of the modular throwing bin 4 falls downward around the movable shaft 14 due to gravity. Place the materials in the modular throwing bin 4, and insert the pull ring of the material safety pin into the pull rod of the zipper pin 11. Then, close the movable component plate 13 of the modular throwing bin 4 upward, align the release hole 12 with the release pin 10, and then release the slider 9. The reset spring inside its actuator pushes the release slider 9 and the release pin 10 to the right until the release pin 10 is inserted into the release hole 12.

[0029] Specific implementation of throwing: As shown in the figure, the device is assembled under the drone, and when the power control line of the servo 2 is connected to the control circuit of the drone, after the drone sends an execution signal to the servo 2, the servo 2 shaft drives the servo arm 7 to rotate clockwise, and at the same time drives the wire rope 8 to pull the slider group of the actuator 3. The actuator 3 first performs the safety pin pulling action. At this time, the lock pin 11 retracts into the mechanism and drives the material safety pin to be pulled out. As the servo continues to rotate, the actuator 3 will perform the throwing action. At this time, the slider 9 cooperates with the release pin 10 to slide to the left until the release pin 10 disengages from the release hole 12. The movable component plate 13 of the modular throwing bin 4 falls downward around the movable shaft 14 due to gravity. At the same time, the material to be thrown falls due to gravity, completing the throwing action.

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiment of the present invention, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
