Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and particularly relates to a large-load UAV support frame. Background Art
[0002] A drone typically consists of an airframe, power system, flight control system, and data transmission system. The airframe is the main structure of the drone, while the power system provides the thrust required for flight. The flight control system is responsible for controlling the drone's flight attitude and trajectory, while the data transmission system receives remote control commands and transmits flight data. Drone technology involves sensor technology, communications technology, information processing technology, intelligent control technology, and aerospace propulsion technology. The flight control system is the core of a drone, equivalent to the pilot in a manned aircraft, responsible for the entire flight process, including takeoff, flight, mission execution, and return to the base.
[0003] The drone cushioning system is a key component in drone design. Its primary function is to absorb and disperse impact energy during landing or collision, protecting the drone and its internal components from damage. A drone cushioning system typically consists of a buffer, connectors, mounting brackets, and other components. Prior art techniques mostly use buffers to cushion heavy-load drones, but few improvements have been made to the support frame itself, resulting in rigid damage to the support frame during landing. To address this, the present application proposes several improvements and designs for heavy-load drone support frames. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a large-load UAV support frame, which can reduce the rigidity conduction between the supports, absorb most of the impact energy after the UAV lands and impacts, cushion the overload caused by the relatively large load, and reduce the impact force on the landing gear.
[0005] The technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:
[0006] A large-load UAV support frame includes two U-shaped brackets arranged opposite to each other, and a box is installed below the U-shaped brackets;

[0008] A buffer component is provided between two adjacent first connecting frames, and a grounding component is provided at the cross-bracing position where the supporting legs contact the ground. The buffer component and the grounding component are used to buffer the impact load on the ground when the drone lands.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the support leg is U-shaped, with one end connected to the first connecting frame and the other end connected to the second connecting frame;
[0010] The first connecting frame, the supporting legs and the second connecting frame on both sides are in an outwardly expanding shape away from each other.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the second connecting frame is arched.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer assembly includes a shell, the interior of the shell is provided with chambers at both ends, a movable and retractable pull rod is provided in the chamber, the pull rod extends out of the shell, and a clamping ring is provided at the end, and the clamping ring is sleeved on the first connecting frame.
[0013] In a preferred solution, a first spring is provided inside the chamber, and the first spring is sleeved on the ring side of the pull rod.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the grounding assembly includes a grounding foot, the grounding foot is adapted to support the foot and is provided with a through hole, a protrusion is provided on the grounding foot and located on the inner annular surface of the through hole, and an arc-shaped plug is provided on the protrusion in a clockwise direction.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a deformation cavity is provided on the outer ring surface of the support leg at a position corresponding to the protrusion, and a socket is provided in the deformation cavity at a position corresponding to the arc-shaped plug column in a clockwise direction, and an air hole communicating with the outside is provided at the terminal end of the socket.
[0016] In a preferred solution, a second spring is sleeved inside the deformation cavity and on the side of the arc-shaped plug ring.
[0017] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0018] In the present invention, when the drone touches the ground, the grounding legs retract due to the thrust, the arc-shaped plug post on the protrusion is inserted into the inside of the socket, the second spring is compressed, and as the arc-shaped plug post extends, the internal gas of the socket is discharged from the air hole. In this process, the arc-shaped plug post, the socket and the air hole cooperate to form a simple buffer cavity with a certain damping effect. When the four grounding components are grounded and retracted, the second spring and the socket achieve a good buffering effect.
[0019] In this utility model, the special design of the support frame and the buffer component of the first connecting frame are used as the secondary buffer, and the cooperation of the support legs and the grounding component is used as the tertiary buffer, which can absorb most of the impact energy after the UAV lands and impacts, buffer the overload caused by the relatively large load, and reduce the impact force on the landing gear.

[0037] The box body 2 can contain liquid medicine or plant seeds, fertilizers, feed and other materials that need to be filled, for example, during the seeding period, the unmanned aerial vehicle can carry out seeding operation, and the box body 2 is filled with crops such as wheat and rape for sowing in the farmland.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The supporting legs 5 are in the shape of “U”, one end of each supporting leg 5 is connected to the first connecting frame 3, the other end is connected to the second connecting frame 7, and the two first connecting frames 3, the supporting legs 5 and the second connecting frames 7 are outwardly expanded.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The second connecting frame 7 is in the shape of an arch.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 The buffer assembly 4 comprises a shell 401, chambers 402 are arranged at the two ends inside the shell 401, pull rods 403 movably and telescopically arranged in the chambers 402, the pull rods 403 extend out of the shell 401, snap rings 405 are arranged at the ends, the snap rings 405 are sleeved on the first connecting frames 3, first springs 404 are arranged inside the chambers 402, and the first springs 404 are sleeved on the ring sides of the pull rods 403.
[0041] Specifically, since the four support legs 5 are far apart and any two adjacent support legs 5 are outwardly inclined, when the unmanned aerial vehicle falls, the outwardly inclined support legs 5 will first deform slightly to buffer the load of the falling, and secondly, the two adjacent first connecting frames 3 have the second level of buffering, when the unmanned aerial vehicle falls with a large load, since the first connecting frame 3 will deform outwardly, the pull rod 403 will stretch to both sides, the internal first spring 404 will buffer and release energy, and the rigidity transmission between the supports will be reduced.
