[0022] A drone frame with reinforced side plates includes a fuselage 1, a first arm 2, a second arm 3, a third arm 4, and a fourth arm 5. The fuselage 1 includes a top fuselage plate 11, a middle fuselage plate 12, and a middle fuselage plate 13. The first arm 2, the second arm 3, the third arm 4, and the fourth arm 5 are all installed between the middle fuselage plate 12 and the middle fuselage plate 13 by press-fit nuts and are respectively located at the four corners of the fuselage 1. The frame also includes a first reinforced side plate 6, a second reinforced side plate 7, and a first fixed XT90 power interface 111. The system includes a second fixed XT90 power interface 112 and a two-in-one antenna mount 113. One end of the first reinforcing side plate 6 is fixedly connected to the first arm 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second arm 3. One end of the second reinforcing side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the third arm 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fourth arm 5. The first fixed XT90 power interface 111 is installed at one end of the top plate 11 of the fuselage, and the second fixed XT90 power interface 112 is installed at the other end of the top plate 11 of the fuselage.

[0023] The dual-mode antenna mount 113 is installed on the side of the fuselage 1 near the second fixed XT90 power interface 112; by setting the first reinforcing side plate 6 and the second reinforcing side plate 7, the drone frame is made more robust and more stable; by setting the dual-mode antenna mount 113, the problem of drone signal interference is solved; and the setting of the first fixed XT90 power interface 111 and the second fixed XT90 power interface 112 avoids the problem of the drone cutting or damaging the power cable during flight.

[0024] Furthermore, the middle plate 12 of the fuselage is provided with a plurality of aluminum pillars 114, and the top plate 11 of the fuselage is connected and fixed to the middle plate 12 of the fuselage through the plurality of aluminum pillars 114, and an equipment installation area 115 is formed between the top plate 11 of the fuselage and the middle plate 12 of the fuselage; the aluminum pillars 114 can be used to connect the top plate 11 of the fuselage and the middle plate 12 of the fuselage, reserving space for internal equipment installation.

[0025] Furthermore, the fuselage plate 12 is provided with a plurality of device mounting slots 1151; by providing a plurality of device mounting slots 1151, electronic equipment required for the drone can be installed on the device mounting slots 1151.

[0026] Furthermore, the device mounting area 115 is provided with a lens mounting base 8 near the first fixed XT90 power interface 111, and the lens mounting base 8 also includes a first lens side plate 81 and a second lens side plate 82.

[0027] Furthermore, both the first lens side plate 81 and the second lens side plate 82 are provided with camera fixing blocks 83; by setting the first lens side plate 81, the second lens side plate 82 and the camera mounting slot, a first-person drone camera is installed.

[0028] Furthermore, motor mounting slots 9 are provided on the first arm 2, the second arm 3, the third arm 4, and the fourth arm 5; by providing motor mounting slots 9 on the first arm 2, the second arm 3, the third arm 4, and the fourth arm 5, it is beneficial to install the motor of the UAV.

[0029] Furthermore, the fuselage middle plate 12 and the fuselage middle plate 13 are fixed by multiple screw threads, and a clamping plate 10 is provided between the fuselage middle plate 12 and the fuselage middle plate 13.

[0030] Furthermore, the drone frame is made of carbon fiber; the lightweight properties of carbon fiber improve the drone's flight efficiency, its high strength and rigidity ensure structural stability, and its corrosion resistance and heat resistance enable it to operate stably in harsh environments.

[0031] It should be noted that the first arm 2, the second arm 3, the third arm 4, and the fourth arm 5 are used to install motors, connect to the fuselage 1, and apply lift to the overall structure; the fuselage top plate 11 is used as a battery mounting platform or to fix other equipment; the fuselage middle plate 13 is used to strengthen the overall structure of the fuselage 1 and fix the arms; the fuselage middle plate 12 is used to strengthen the overall structure of the fuselage 1 and to install equipment; due to the setting of the aluminum column 114, an equipment installation area 115 is formed between the fuselage top plate 11 and the fuselage middle plate 12. During the installation process, the electronic equipment required for assembling the drone is installed in the equipment installation area 115; by setting the first reinforcing side plate 6 and the second reinforcing side plate 7, the overall structural deformation of the drone can be controlled to be smaller during flight, greatly improving the overall rigidity of the drone frame, while also suppressing resonance generated during high-speed flight, making the power system more efficient. The drone can perform large maneuvers with ease during flight; the design of the two-in-one antenna mount 113 efficiently utilizes the plastic structure, integrating two different frequencies without sacrificing overall strength and usability. It also avoids signal interference caused by cluttered antenna placement during flight, structurally ensuring the communication quality of electronic devices. Regarding antenna installation, since the drone's main power cable extends outside the fuselage 1 and is exposed, it is difficult to secure. This not only poses a risk of the power cable being cut off during high-speed rotation of the motor-driven propellers but also complicates battery installation during flight preparation. The first fixed XT90 power interface 111 and the second fixed XT90 power interface 112 provide a clean and tidy main power connection method, solving the problem of the difficulty in securing the conventional main power cable extending outside the fuselage 1. This fixed power interface provides a convenient way to install and connect batteries, avoids the risk of cutting the power cable, and makes drone flight safer.

[0032] The aforementioned drone frame with reinforced side plates, by setting the first reinforced side plate 6 and the second reinforced side plate 7, makes the overall structural deformation control of the drone smaller during flight and improves the overall rigidity. The setting of the two-in-one antenna mount 113 ensures the structural quality of electronic device communication, and the setting of the first fixed XT90 power interface 111 and the second fixed XT90 power interface 112 can better fix the power cord; thus meeting production needs.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
