Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quadcopter technology, specifically to a high-efficiency heat dissipation structure for quadcopters. Background Technology

[0002] An aircraft is a man-made flying machine that can take off from the ground, fly in space, and be controlled by humans to fly within the atmosphere. Quadcopters generally carry image transmission modules and AIO (integrated flight controller board). These image transmission modules and AIO (integrated flight controller board) generate heat when they are working, so they need to be cooled.

[0003] Existing quadcopters rely on installing cooling fans on the fuselage for heat dissipation. This method increases the weight of the aircraft, takes up space when installing the fans, and requires electricity to operate, thus increasing the quadcopter's energy consumption and causing significant inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency heat dissipation structure for quadcopters, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing quadcopters require the installation of cooling fans for heat dissipation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency heat dissipation structure for a quadcopter, comprising a quadcopter body, wherein a video transmission module housing is bolted to the surface of the quadcopter body, and an air outlet assembly is provided at the bottom of the quadcopter body, the air outlet assembly including a video transmission module air outlet and a GPS module air outlet, the video transmission module air outlet and the GPS module air outlet being used for air dissipation; air inlet assemblies are provided on both the left and right sides of the surface of the video transmission module housing, the air inlet assemblies being used for air intake, and the air inlet assemblies and the air outlet assemblies cooperate to form a heat dissipation structure.

[0006] Preferably, the air intake component includes a flat end face, a convex end face, and an air inlet, and the surface of the image transmission module housing is provided with a flat end face.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the image transmission module housing has a convex surface on one side of the flat end face, and an air inlet is provided between the convex surface and the flat end face for air intake.

[0008] Preferably, the air outlet of the image transmission module is located at the bottom of the front section of the quadcopter body, and the air outlet of the image transmission module is used to exhaust the air entering from the air inlet.

[0009] Preferably, the GPS module air outlet is provided in several groups, and the several groups of GPS module air outlets are opened at the tail of the bottom of the quadcopter body. The GPS module air outlet is used for air outlet operation during heat dissipation.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The high-efficiency heat dissipation structure of this quadcopter utilizes an air intake component and an air outlet component. During implementation, the natural airflow during flight enters through the air intake component and carries away the heat dissipated by the module through the air outlet component, thus achieving efficient heat dissipation. This invention achieves efficient heat dissipation: compared to traditional heat dissipation methods, this design utilizes natural airflow during flight, eliminating the need for additional heat dissipation equipment and achieving passive, efficient heat dissipation. This can quickly reduce the operating temperature of the image transmission module and AIO (integrated flight control board). Furthermore, this invention is lightweight and has a simple structure: through the rational design of the air intake and exhaust ports, there is no need to add complex heat dissipation devices, reducing the overall weight and improving the flight efficiency and endurance of the quadcopter. Simultaneously, this invention enhances flight performance: the optimized airflow design ensures effective heat dissipation without affecting flight stability, making it particularly suitable for long-duration flight and high-load environments.

[0017] 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, not all embodiments. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. At the same time, in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0018] The present invention provides a high-efficiency heat dissipation structure for a quadcopter, as shown in the following structure. Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the device includes a quadcopter body 1. A video transmission module housing 2 is bolted to the surface of the quadcopter body 1. An air outlet assembly 4 is provided at the bottom of the quadcopter body 1. The air outlet assembly 4 includes a video transmission module air outlet 41 and a GPS module air outlet 42. The video transmission module air outlet 41 and the GPS module air outlet 42 are used for air outlet operation. The video transmission module air outlet 41 is located at the bottom of the front section of the quadcopter body 1. The video transmission module air outlet 41 is used to exhaust the air entering through the air inlet 33. Several sets of GPS module air outlets 42 are provided. Several sets of GPS module air outlets 42 are located at the tail of the bottom end of the quadcopter body 1. The GPS module air outlets 42 are used for air outlet operation during heat dissipation.

[0019] This invention improves heat dissipation by installing air outlet components 4 on the fuselage, such as the air outlet 41 of the image transmission module at the bottom of the fuselage and the air outlet 42 of the GPS module at the rear of the fuselage. After passing through the image transmission module and AIO (integrated flight control board), the cold air is exhausted to the outside of the aircraft through these air outlets, forming effective convection heat dissipation.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, air intake components 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the surface of the image transmission module housing 2. The air intake components 3 are used for air intake operation, and the air intake components 3 and the air outlet components 4 cooperate to form a heat dissipation structure. The air intake components 3 include a flat end face 31, a convex surface 32 and an air inlet 33. The surface of the image transmission module housing 2 is provided with a flat end face 31, and a convex surface 32 is provided on the surface of the image transmission module housing 2 and on one side of the flat end face 31. An air inlet 33 is opened between the convex surface 32 and the flat end face 31. The air inlet 33 is used for air intake operation.

[0021] In practice, this utility model incorporates a specially designed air intake component 3 at the nose of the aircraft, which utilizes the kinetic energy of the airflow in front of the quadcopter during flight to introduce cold air into the fuselage cavity.

[0022] Working Principle: This invention utilizes a dedicated air intake component 3 at the nose of the quadcopter, leveraging the kinetic energy of the airflow in front of the quadcopter during flight to draw cool air into the fuselage cavity. Simultaneously, by incorporating air outlet components 4 on the fuselage, such as the image transmission module outlet 41 at the bottom and the GPS module outlet 42 at the rear, the cool air, after passing through the image transmission module and AIO (integrated flight controller board), is expelled through these outlets, creating effective convection cooling and improving heat dissipation. Furthermore, by optimizing the airflow path, after intake, the airflow first passes through the image transmission module and AIO area inside the fuselage, absorbing heat before being rapidly expelled, thus ensuring efficient heat dissipation. This design also does not affect the quadcopter's flight performance or add additional load.

[0023] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
