[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 - Figure 5 The protective structure for a drone mounting device shown includes a drone device 1, a footrest 6 at the bottom of the drone device 1, and a protective device at the bottom of the drone device 1. The protective device includes a mounting box 5, a gas generator 13 fixed inside the mounting box 5, an installation tube 12 fixed to one side of the gas generator 13's outlet, a cloth tube 10 connected to one end of the installation tube 12, an airbag cover 2 connected to one end of the cloth tube 10, and a groove provided on one side of the airbag cover 2 opposite to the cloth tube 10.

[0027] The opening process of the airbag cover 2: The gas is discharged through the gas outlet of the gas generator 13 housing and then enters the mounting tube 12. The air inside the mounting tube 12 is transmitted to the cloth tube 10. The cloth tube 10 guides the gas to the airbag cover 2 and quickly pushes the airbag cover 2 out of the mounting tube 12. It should be noted that during the process of pushing the airbag cover 2 out, it is blocked by the steel plate 11, so the airbag cover 2 will not move upward and will not impact the camera 4 and the bracket 41. The airbag cover 2 is quickly filled with gas and expands, thus completing the opening.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the head of the drone device 1 is fixed with a bracket 41, and the end of the bracket 41 is connected to a camera 4. After the airbag 2 is filled with gas, the airbag 2 opens to a helmet shape, and the camera 4 can be located in the groove of the airbag 2. The airbag 2 covers the camera 4 and blocks the front, left, right, up and down directions of the airbag 2 so that the camera 4 will not be hit.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the top of the mounting box 5 is also provided with a top cover 51, a fixing plate 8 is fixed to the top of the top cover 51, a steel plate 11 is fixed to one end of the fixing plate 8, an airbag ring 3 is fixed to the top of the steel plate 11, and the airbag ring 3 surrounds the outside of the bracket 41. It should be noted that the top cover 51 and the mounting box 5 are actually an integral structure, and the top cover 51 and the mounting box 5 form a rectangular box.

[0030] Two pins 53 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the top cover 51. A connecting plate 9 is provided at the bottom of the drone device 1, and a socket 14 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 9. The pins 53 pass through the socket 14. Specifically, the connecting plate 9 and the drone device 1 are fixedly connected by bolts. By horizontally inserting the pins 53 into the socket 14 at the bottom of the connecting plate 9 and passing through the socket 14, the top cover 51 can be suspended on one part of the drone device 1 so that the fixing plate 8 can fit against the bottom of the drone device 1. This makes it easy for the user to fix the fixing plate 8 to the bottom of the drone device 1 with bolts, thereby facilitating the connection between the mounting box 5 and the drone device 1.

[0031] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a sealing plate 52 is provided at one end of the mounting box 5. The sealing plate 52 is provided with inserts 54 at the four corners of one side wall of the mounting box 5. A slot 55 corresponding to the inserts 54 is provided at one end of the mounting box 5.

[0032] During the installation of the airbag cover 2, the airbag cover 2 needs to be folded and then inserted into the installation tube 12. It should be noted that the fabric tube 10 and the airbag cover 2 are connected by a sewing process. Figure 4 As shown, a threaded ring is provided at one end of the fabric tube 10 relative to the airbag cover 2. The threaded ring is connected to the mounting tube 12 by a thread, thereby connecting and fixing the fabric tube 10 and the mounting tube 12. After the fabric tube 10 is connected to the mounting tube 12, the folded airbag cover 2 and the fabric tube 10 are inserted into the interior of the mounting tube 12.

[0033] Align the insert 54 at the end of the sealing plate 52 with the slot 55 at the end of the mounting box 5. The sealing plate 52 covers the end of the mounting box 5, preventing external air and impurities from entering the interior of the mounting box 5.

[0034] During the opening of the airbag cover 2, after the airbag cover 2 is filled with gas, the airbag cover 2 impacts the sealing plate 52. The sealing plate 52 drives the insert 54 to disengage from the slot 55 and then be bounced away. The insert 54 is made of rubber and is soft. It can deform under force, so it can be inserted into the slot 55. It can also be pulled out of the slot 55 after the sealing plate 52 is pushed.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 - Figure 4 As shown, a cable 7 is connected to one side of the gas generator 13, and the end of the cable 7 passes through the mounting box 5 and is connected to the drone device 1.

[0036] The control circuit of the drone device 1 is equipped with a sensor. When the drone device 1 collides, the sensor receives the signal and transmits the signal to the gas generator 13 through the cable 7. The ignition device inside the gas generator 13 is powered on and works. The chemical substances inside the gas generator 13 undergo a chemical reaction and produce inert gas. The working principle of the gas generator 13 has been disclosed in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0037] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
