Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of antenna protection technology, specifically a protective cover for a drone antenna. Background Technology

[0002] The development of drone technology has led to a wide range of applications, from military reconnaissance to civilian fields such as agriculture, forestry, power line inspection, and surveying. With the rapid development of the drone industry, more and more drones are being used in various sectors. Fixed-wing drones, in particular, require satellite communication antennas for signal transmission. However, existing fixed-wing drones typically have their antennas exposed on the fuselage, which not only increases flight drag but also makes the antennas susceptible to damage from airflow. Furthermore, if the drone antenna shroud is too heavy, it can affect the drone's flight. Therefore, developing a new drone antenna shroud has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a drone antenna protective cover, including:

[0004] Antenna base plate, used to mount antennas and drone antenna protective covers;

[0005] The antenna is mounted on the upper end of the antenna base plate, and the UAV antenna protective cover is connected to the side of the antenna base plate;

[0006] The UAV antenna protective cover includes a connecting part, a side protection part, a top protection part, and an arc-shaped connecting part. The connecting part is adapted to the side of the antenna base plate and is used to install the UAV antenna protective cover. One end of the arc-shaped connecting part is connected to the side protection part, and the other end is connected to one end of the connecting part. The side protection part is an annular cover. The top protection part is connected to the side of the side protection part away from the arc-shaped connecting part. The connecting part, the arc-shaped connecting part, the side protection part, and the top protection part are smoothly connected in sequence to form a curved cover. The curved cover is adapted to the outer contour of the antenna.

[0007] Optionally, the cross-section of the UAV antenna protective cover is composed of a first protective layer and a second protective layer, wherein the first protective layer is attached to and close to the antenna, and the second protective layer is away from the antenna.

[0008] Optionally, the first protective layer is epoxy resin, and the second protective layer is alkali-free fiberglass cloth.

[0009] Optionally, the outer surface of the second protective layer is dewaxed.

[0010] Optionally, a filling layer is provided in the gap between the connecting part and the antenna base plate, the filling layer being used to fill the gap between the UAV antenna protective cover and the antenna base plate.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0012] 1. This application uses the connecting part, side protection part, top protection part and arc connecting part provided on the drone antenna protective cover to smoothly adapt the drone antenna protective cover to the antenna, so that the drone antenna protective cover is smoothly set on the outside of the antenna, without generating extra space, reducing the extra shell space of the drone antenna protective cover, and using the curved surface to minimize the gap between the drone antenna protective cover and the antenna, thereby reducing the weight of the drone antenna protective cover.

[0013] 2. The cross-section of the drone antenna protective cover in this application is set with two layers, namely a first protective layer and a second protective layer. The first protective layer is made of epoxy resin and the second protective layer is made of alkali-free glass fiber cloth, which further reduces the weight of the drone antenna protective cover without affecting the normal use of the antenna.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a drone antenna protective cover, comprising:

[0019] Antenna base plate 1 is used to mount antenna 2 and drone antenna protective cover 3. An antenna RF connector is provided at the bottom center of antenna base plate 1. The antenna RF connector is connected to antenna 2 to mount antenna 2 on antenna base plate 1. Then, drone antenna protective cover 3 is used to cover the exposed antenna 2 to form protection for antenna 2.
