[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the rapid development of drones, drones have been widely used in surveying, agricultural firefighting, and national defense. For example, functional components such as cameras, spraying equipment, or weapons are installed on the lower part of the drone.

[0003] However, this usually requires installing a functional bracket at the bottom of the drone that can adjust pitch and level, and mounting the functional components on the bracket to facilitate the adjustment of the working direction of the functional components.

[0004] Existing drone mounts typically consist of a fixed frame and a rotating frame. The fixed frame is installed at the bottom of the drone, and the rotating frame is rotated and installed on the fixed frame. A motor and gears are installed between the rotating frame and the fixed frame for transmission. This makes the drone mount structure complex and bulky. Utility Model Content

The bracket has a second mounting position and a third mounting position at its lower end. The second mounting position and the third mounting position are spaced apart. The gap between the second mounting position and the third mounting position forms an installation space. The installation space is used to mount functional components. The second mounting position has a second through hole.

[0008] A first motor is mounted on the opposite side of the first mounting position, and the shaft of the first motor passes through the first through hole; and

[0009] A second motor is installed on the opposite side of the second mounting position, and the shaft of the second motor extends through the second mounting position into the mounting space.

The first mounting position is located on the first horizontal plate. The first motor is mounted on the side of the first horizontal plate facing away from the first mounting position. The first connector and the second connector are respectively connected to both ends of the first horizontal plate. The first vertical plate is located at the end of the first connector away from the first horizontal plate. The second mounting position is located on the side of the first vertical plate facing the second vertical plate. The second motor is mounted on the side of the first vertical plate facing away from the second vertical plate. The second vertical plate is located at the end of the second connector away from the first horizontal plate. The third mounting position is located on the side of the second vertical plate facing the first vertical plate. The distance between the first connector and the second connector gradually increases in the direction from the first horizontal plate to the mounting space.

[0011] Optionally, the first connector includes a connecting plate, an extension plate, and an inclined plate. One end of the connecting plate is connected to the first horizontal plate. The upper end of the extension plate is connected to the other end of the connecting plate and extends downward. The inclined plate is connected to the lower end of the extension plate and is inclined in a direction away from the installation space from top to bottom. The first vertical plate is connected to the lower end of the inclined plate.

[0012] The second connector is connected to the first connector in a direction that is axially symmetrical to the first connector in the direction that the first cross plate points toward the installation space.

[0013] Optionally, the first horizontal plate, the first vertical plate, the second vertical plate, the first connector, and the second connector are an integral structure.

[0014] Optionally, the bracket is made of metal.

[0015] Optionally, the bracket is made of aluminum alloy.

[0016] Optionally, the drone mounting bracket includes a first fixing rod and a second fixing rod, with one end of the first fixing rod fixed to the first horizontal plate and the other end fixed to the first vertical plate, and one end of the second fixing rod fixed to the first horizontal plate and the other end fixed to the second vertical plate.

[0017] Optionally, the number of the first fixing rods is at least two, and the two first fixing rods are respectively disposed on both sides of the bracket and connected to the first horizontal plate and the first vertical plate respectively;

[0018] The number of the second fixing rods is at least two, and the two second fixing rods are respectively located on both sides of the bracket and connected to the first horizontal plate and the second vertical plate.

[0019] Optionally, the bracket is provided with an indicator pattern for indicating the mounting direction of the bracket on the drone.

[0020] A drone includes a drone body, functional components, and the aforementioned drone mount. The drone mount is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the drone.

The functional components are rotatably mounted on a second mounting position and a third mounting position. The shaft of the second motor passes through the second through hole and is connected to the functional components.

[0021] This utility model's technical solution involves setting a first mounting position at the upper end of a bracket, and a second and third mounting positions at the lower end of the bracket. The first mounting position has a first through hole, and the second mounting position has a second through hole. After the bracket is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the drone via the first mounting position, a first motor is mounted on the opposite side of the first mounting position. The shaft of the first motor is fixed to the drone through the first through hole. When the shaft of the first motor rotates, it causes the bracket to rotate relative to the drone. The gap between the second and third mounting positions allows functional components to be rotatably mounted on the second and third mounting positions. After the second motor is mounted on the opposite side of the second mounting position, its shaft passes through the second through hole and is fixed to the functional component. When the shaft of the second motor rotates, it causes the functional component to rotate relative to the bracket. This allows the first motor to control the rotation of the bracket relative to the drone to adjust the horizontal orientation of the functional component, and the second motor to control the pitch direction of the functional component to adjust its orientation. Compared to using a gear and rack structure to control the rotation of the functional component, this design makes the drone mount simpler and smaller in size. Attached Figure Description

[0033] This utility model proposes a drone mounting bracket.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the drone mounting bracket includes a bracket 10, a first motor 20, and a second motor 30. The upper end of the bracket 10 has a first mounting position 111 for mounting the drone at its lower end. The first mounting position 111 has a first through hole. The lower end of the bracket 10 has a second mounting position 121 and a third mounting position 131, spaced apart. The gap between the second mounting position 121 and the third mounting position 131 forms an installation space for mounting a functional component 60. The second mounting position 121 has a second through hole 1211. The first motor 20 is mounted on the opposite side of the first mounting position 111, and its shaft passes through the first through hole. The second motor 30 is mounted on the opposite side of the second mounting position 121, and its shaft extends through the second mounting position 121 into the installation space.

[0035] In this embodiment, the functional component 60 is a projectile launcher, and the drone is equipped with a camera and an electronic control device. The projectile launcher, camera, first motor 20, and second motor 30 are all electrically connected to the electronic control device. After the drone flies to the working area, the electronic control device controls the camera to capture the scene at the target location. After the captured image is processed by the image processor, the electronic control device controls the operation of the first motor 20 and the second motor 30. The shaft of the first motor 20 is fixed relative to the drone. When the first motor 20 is operating, it drives the bracket 10 to rotate relative to the drone. The bracket 10 drives the projectile launcher to rotate relative to the drone, adjusting the horizontal orientation of the projectile launcher. At the same time, the shaft of the second motor 30 is fixed relative to the functional component 60. When the second motor 30 is operating, it drives the projectile launcher to rotate relative to the bracket 10, adjusting the pitch direction of the projectile launcher to make the strike position of the projectile launcher more accurate.

[0036] In other embodiments, the functional component 60 may also be a surveying camera, an aerial camera, fire-fighting equipment, etc.

[0037] This utility model's technical solution involves providing a first mounting position 111 at the upper end of the bracket 10, and a second mounting position 121 and a third mounting position 131 at the lower end of the bracket 10. The first mounting position 111 has a first through hole, and the second mounting position 121 has a second through hole 1211. After the bracket 10 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the drone via the first mounting position 111, the first motor 20 is mounted on the opposite side of the first mounting position 111. The shaft of the first motor 20 is fixed to the drone via the first through hole. Thus, when the shaft of the first motor 20 rotates, it causes the bracket 10 to rotate relative to the drone. The gap between the second mounting position 121 and the third mounting position 131 allows the functional component 60 to rotate. After the second motor 30 is installed in the second mounting position 121 and the third mounting position 131, and the second motor 30 is installed on the opposite side of the second mounting position 121, the shaft of the second motor 30 can pass through the second through hole 1211 and be fixed to the functional component 60. When the shaft of the second motor 30 rotates, it will drive the functional component 60 to rotate relative to the bracket 10. In this way, the first motor 20 directly controls the rotation of the bracket 10 relative to the drone to adjust the horizontal orientation of the functional component 60, and the second motor 30 controls the pitch direction of the functional component 60 to adjust the orientation of the functional component 60. Compared with the use of a gear and rack structure to control the rotation of the functional component 60, this makes the structure of the drone mount simpler and smaller.

[0038] In some embodiments, the bracket 10 includes a first horizontal plate 11, a first vertical plate 12, a second vertical plate 13, a first connector 14, and a second connector 15. A first mounting position 111 is disposed on the first horizontal plate 11. A first motor 20 is mounted on the side of the first horizontal plate 11 facing away from the first mounting position 111. The first connector 14 and the second connector 15 are respectively connected to both ends of the first horizontal plate 11. The first vertical plate 12 is disposed at the end of the first connector 14 away from the first horizontal plate 11. A second mounting position 121 is disposed on the side of the first vertical plate 12 facing the second vertical plate 13. A second motor 30 is mounted on the side of the first vertical plate 12 facing away from the second vertical plate 13. The second vertical plate 13 is disposed at the end of the second connector 15 away from the first horizontal plate 11. A third mounting position 131 is disposed on the side of the second vertical plate 13 facing the first vertical plate 12. The distance between the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 gradually increases in the direction of the first horizontal plate 11 pointing towards the mounting space.

[0039] Specifically, the first vertical plate 12 and the second vertical plate 13 are spaced apart and parallel. The functional component 60 is located between the first vertical plate 12 and the second vertical plate 13. When adjusting the pitch angle, the functional component 60 will rotate to a position between the first connector 14 and the second connector 15. In this way, the distance between the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 gradually increases in the direction of the first horizontal plate 11 pointing to the installation space. Compared with the gap between the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 being the same as the gap between the first vertical plate 12 and the second vertical plate 13, this can reduce the space occupied by the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 in the horizontal direction, reduce the space occupied by the upper end of the bracket 10 in the horizontal direction, reduce the volume of the bracket 10, and avoid the drone mount occupying too much space.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first connector 14 includes a connecting plate 141, an extension plate 142, and an inclined plate 143. One end of the connecting plate 141 is connected to the first horizontal plate 11. The upper end of the extension plate 142 is connected to the other end of the connecting plate 141 and extends downward. The inclined plate 143 is connected to the lower end of the extension plate 142 and is inclined in a direction away from the installation space from top to bottom. The first vertical plate 12 is connected to the lower end of the inclined plate 143. The second connector 15 is connected to the first connector 14 in a direction symmetrical to the first connector 14 in the direction of the first horizontal plate 11 pointing towards the installation space. Specifically, the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 are composed of multiple plate-like structures. The structure of the first connector 14 and the second connector 15 is simpler, smaller in size, and occupies less space, which can reduce the volume of the drone support 10.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first horizontal plate 11, the first vertical plate 12, the second vertical plate 13, the first connector 14, and the second connector 15 are an integral structure. Specifically, the support 10 structure composed of the first horizontal plate 11, the first vertical plate 12, the second vertical plate 13, the first connector 14, and the second connector 15 is relatively simple. The integral structure makes the support 10 structure more stable, and the support 10 is also easier to form.

[0042] In some embodiments, the support 10 is made of metal. Specifically, when the support 10 is made of metal, the structure is stronger and more stable compared to ordinary plastic materials. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the support 10 may also be made of plastics such as ABS, PP, or PC.

[0043] In some embodiments, the bracket 10 is made of aluminum alloy. Specifically, when the bracket 10 is made of aluminum alloy, the bracket 10 has a lower cost and is lighter. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the bracket 10 may also be made of stainless steel.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drone mounting bracket includes a first fixing rod 40 and a second fixing rod 50. One end of the first fixing rod 40 is fixed to the first horizontal plate 11, and the other end is fixed to the first vertical plate 12. One end of the second fixing rod is fixed to the first horizontal plate 11, and the other end is fixed to the second vertical plate 13. Specifically, this arrangement of the first fixing rod 40 and the second fixing rod 50 connecting the first horizontal plate 11 and the first vertical plate 12, and between the first horizontal plate 11 and the second vertical plate 13, can increase the structural strength of the bracket 10 and improve its stability.

[0045] In some embodiments, there are at least two first fixing rods 40, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bracket 10 and connected to the first horizontal plate 11 and the first vertical plate 12; there are at least two second fixing rods 50, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bracket 10 and connected to the first horizontal plate 11 and the second vertical plate 13. Specifically, increasing the number of first fixing rods 40 and second fixing rods 50 can further improve the structural strength and stability of the bracket 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the bracket 10 is provided with an indicator pattern 16, which indicates the installation direction of the bracket 10 on the drone. Specifically, this makes it easier for the user to identify the installation direction of the bracket 10 when it is installed on the bottom of the drone, preventing the bracket 10 from being installed backwards. Furthermore, the indicator pattern 16 is a directional arrow, making the installation direction of the bracket 10 even clearer for the user during installation.

[0047] This utility model also proposes a drone, which includes a drone body, a functional component 60, and a drone mount. The specific structure of the drone mount is as described in the above embodiments. Since this drone mount adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The drone mount is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the drone body. The shaft of the first motor 20 passes through the first through hole 1111 and is connected to the bottom of the drone body. The functional component 60 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting position 121 and the third mounting position 131. The shaft of the second motor 30 passes through the second through hole 1211 and is connected to the functional component 60. The drone mount or the drone body is equipped with an electronic control device, and the first motor 20, the second motor 30, and the functional component 60 are all connected to the electronic control device.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
