Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lidar technology, and in particular to a drone rotating lidar pod that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Rotating lidar pods are widely used as important sensor mounting devices in fields such as UAV remote sensing mapping, environmental monitoring, and topographic mapping. Currently, mainstream UAV rotating lidar pods on the market typically use motor-driven rotating mechanisms, enabling lidar to achieve all-round perception of the surrounding environment.

[0003] Patent document CN220721403U discloses a radar pod structure. The technical solution is as follows: one end of the compression guide rod arm is equipped with a compression spring installed inside the guide sleeve cavity, and the other end of the compression guide rod arm is equipped with a locking buckle extending into the insertion cavity. The socket of the locking plug has two sets of locking slots on both sides, symmetrically arranged to correspond to the locking buckle. This invention utilizes the elastic snapping of the locking buckle in the socket assembly and the locking slots in the locking plug, which has excellent and unique locking performance. This ensures a firm snapping performance between the locking plug and the socket assembly, improving its installation stability. Furthermore, during subsequent disassembly and assembly, simply pulling the opening / closing handle and the opening / closing rope pulls the locking buckle out of the locking slot, allowing the locking plug to be easily removed for convenient disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the radar assembly.

[0004] As mentioned above, existing pods require tools for disassembly and assembly, which is not only cumbersome but also fails to securely fix the pod. Secondly, the drone radar lacks adequate protective structure, making it susceptible to damage.

[0005] Therefore, a drone-mounted rotating lidar pod that is easy to install is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model proposes a convenient-to-install rotating lidar pod for drones, which solves the problems of existing technologies where the pod requires tools for disassembly and assembly, and the conventional disassembly method is not only cumbersome but also fails to securely fix the pod; secondly, drone radars lack adequate protective structures and are prone to damage.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A conveniently installed UAV rotating lidar pod includes a mounting frame, on the top of which a positioning bolt is vertically mounted;

[0009] A hydraulic rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting frame. A connecting block is connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod. A transmission rod is rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting block. A rotating shaft passes through the end of the transmission rod. A clamp is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. A fixed shaft passes through the middle of the clamp. A connecting frame is engaged at the bottom end of the clamp.

[0010] Preferably, an extension frame is installed below the connecting frame, a scanning component is installed in the lower middle part of the extension frame, and buffer mechanisms are fixed at the bottom of both sides of the extension frame.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning bolts are arranged perpendicularly to the four corners of the mounting bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting block forms a lifting structure with the mounting frame via a hydraulic rod, and the clamp forms a transmission structure with the connecting block via a transmission rod.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting frame forms a detachable structure with the mounting frame via clips, and the clips are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the connecting frame.

[0014] Preferably, the buffer mechanism includes a fixed rod, a lifting frame is inserted into the fixed rod, a spring is provided at the top of the lifting frame, and a damper is provided in the middle of the spring.

[0015] Preferably, the lifting frame forms a lifting structure through a spring and a fixed rod, and the fixed rod is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the extension frame.

[0016] This invention proposes a conveniently installed rotating lidar pod for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0017] 1. By setting up a hydraulic rod, the mounting bracket is pre-fixed to a suitable position on the bottom of the drone using positioning bolts. When needed, the connecting block can be raised and lowered by controlling the internal hydraulic rod, which in turn drives the transmission rod to rotate the clamp around the fixed axis to adjust the clamping angle. This ensures that the device can clamp and fix the connecting bracket when the hydraulic rod descends. The scanning component can be quickly and conveniently assembled and disassembled without tools, which can meet different usage needs and improve overall efficiency.

[0018] 2. By setting up a buffer mechanism, since the bottom of the lifting frame is lower than the bottom of the scanning component, it can contact the ground or other foreign objects first, effectively protecting the middle scanning component and reducing damage to the scanning component caused by collisions or accidental touches. The setting of springs and dampers can effectively buffer the impact, ensuring that the bottom pod will not be damaged by collisions, thus better protecting and supporting the equipment.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a UAV rotating lidar pod that is easy to install, including a mounting frame 1, and a positioning bolt 2 is vertically installed on the top of the mounting frame 1;

[0026] A hydraulic rod 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting bracket 1. A connecting block 4 is connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 3. A transmission rod 5 is rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting block 4. A rotating shaft 6 passes through the end of the transmission rod 5. A clamp 7 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 6. A fixed shaft 8 passes through the middle of the clamp 7. A connecting bracket 9 is engaged at the bottom of the clamp 7.

[0027] Furthermore, an extension frame 10 is installed below the connecting frame 9, and a scanning component 11 is installed in the lower middle part of the extension frame 10. Buffer mechanisms 12 are fixed to the bottom of both sides of the extension frame 10. During use, since the bottom of the lifting frame 1202 is set lower than the bottom of the scanning component 11, it can contact the ground or other foreign objects first, effectively protecting the scanning component 11 in the middle and reducing damage to the scanning component 11 caused by collisions or accidental touches in the middle. The setting of the spring 1203 and the damper 1204 can effectively buffer the impact, ensuring that the bottom pod will not be damaged by collisions, thus better protecting and supporting the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, the positioning bolts 2 are vertically positioned at the four corners of the mounting bracket 1, which pre-fixes the mounting bracket 1 to a suitable position on the bottom of the drone, facilitating subsequent installation operations.

[0029] The positioning bolt 2 can be made of plastic or metal.

[0030] Furthermore, the connecting block 4 forms a lifting structure with the mounting frame 1 via the hydraulic rod 3, and the clamp 7 forms a transmission structure with the connecting block 4 via the transmission rod 5. The transmission rod 5 drives the clamp 7 to rotate around the fixed shaft 8 to adjust the clamping angle, thereby ensuring that the equipment can clamp and fix the connecting frame 9 by transmitting the clamp 7 when the hydraulic rod 3 descends. The disassembly and assembly of the scanning component 11 can be completed quickly and conveniently without tools, which is conducive to meeting different usage needs and ensuring that the equipment can clamp and fix the connecting frame 9 by transmitting the clamp 7 when the hydraulic rod 3 descends.

[0031] Furthermore, the connecting frame 9 forms a detachable structure with the mounting frame 1 through the clip 7, and the clip 7 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the connecting frame 9. The clip 7 achieves a certain clamping effect on the connecting frame 9, and the scanning component 11 can be quickly and conveniently disassembled and assembled without tools, which is conducive to meeting different usage needs and improving the overall usage efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism 12 includes a fixed rod 1201, with a lifting frame 1202 inserted inside the fixed rod 1201. A spring 1203 is installed at the top of the lifting frame 1202, and a damper 1204 is installed in the middle of the spring 1203 to ensure that the bottom pod will not be damaged by collision, thus providing better protection and support for the equipment. The buffer mechanism is a mechanism that uses energy conversion to buffer and reduce shocks to the moving parts of the weapon, and to stop its recoil and advance.

[0033] Furthermore, the lifting frame 1202 forms a lifting structure with the spring 1203 and the fixed rod 1201, and the fixed rod 1201 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the extension frame 10, which effectively protects the central scanning component 11 and reduces the damage to the scanning component 11 caused by central collision or accidental touch.

[0034] Working principle: First, when the drone needs to be used, the mounting bracket 1 can be fixed to a suitable position on the bottom of the drone in advance by the positioning bolt 2, which facilitates the subsequent installation operation. When needed, the connecting block 4 can be raised and lowered by controlling the internal hydraulic rod 3, so that the transmission rod 5 drives the clamp 7 to rotate around the fixed shaft 8 to adjust the clamping angle. This ensures that the device can clamp and fix the connecting bracket 9 when the hydraulic rod 3 descends. The disassembly and assembly of the scanning component 11 can be completed quickly and conveniently without tools, which is conducive to meeting different usage needs and improving the overall usage efficiency.

[0035] Next, during use, since the bottom of the lifting frame 1202 is set lower than the bottom of the scanning component 11, it can contact the ground or other foreign objects first, effectively protecting the middle scanning component 11 and reducing damage to the scanning component 11 caused by collision or accidental contact in the middle. The setting of the spring 1203 and the damper 1204 can effectively buffer the impact, ensuring that the bottom pod will not be damaged by collision, thus better protecting and supporting the equipment.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
