[0028] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] To better understand the power distribution drone extension accessory device provided in this embodiment, a brief introduction to existing extension accessories is given below. Existing drones are used in many scenarios, such as drone delivery. These drones use a delivery platform to deliver takeout to users, requiring the delivery box to be secured. Existing drones also have different requirements for landing gear depending on the parking situation. Currently, drones are generally equipped with fixed landing gear. Furthermore, drones operating on lakes face the risk of crashing in dangerous situations, leading to complicated and costly retrieval.

[0030] Aiming to address the shortcomings of drones used in the aforementioned environments and scenarios, this paper proposes an extension component that can be installed on drones to quickly fulfill the requirements of configuring different components as needed.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1 The above-distribution drone extension accessory device includes: an upper extension plate 1, which is installed on the bottom of the drone, and the upper extension plate 1 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes for fixing the extension to the bottom of the drone;

[0033] The lower expansion plate 2 is fixed to the bottom of the upper expansion plate 1, and there is a reserved space between the upper expansion plate 1 and the lower expansion plate 2. The lower expansion plate 2 has the same shape as the upper expansion plate 1, and the four arc-shaped protrusions at the bottom of the lower expansion plate 2 are provided with reserved alignment areas 21.

[0034] The expansion module 3 has four components. The four expansion modules 3 are located between the arc-shaped protrusions of the upper expansion plate 1 and the lower expansion plate 2. The expansion module 3 includes an installation part and an exposed expansion beam 31. The exposed expansion beam 31 is provided with an expansion port 32. The installation part is located between the upper expansion plate 1 and the lower expansion plate 2. The installation part is provided with a reserved installation port 34. The inner side of the installation part is provided with a sliding cavity 33.

[0035] In the above embodiments, during specific implementation, the expansion module 3 is the basic part, and multiple accessories can be installed. For example, during the inspection process of the drone, an ice hammer can be installed; during the delivery process, a delivery box can be installed; and measuring equipment can also be carried. The expansion module 3 can also serve as a mounting bracket.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, with reference to Figure 3 As shown, it also includes an adjusting slide rail 4, which includes a connecting part in the middle. The connecting part is fixedly connected between the upper expansion plate 1 and the lower expansion plate 2. Four adjusting slide rails 4 facing the sliding cavity 33 are provided on the connecting part, and the expansion module 3 can slide on the adjusting slide rail 4.

[0038] To adjust the exposed length of the expansion module 3, the installation method of the expansion module 3 can be adjusted. The expansion module 3 can be moved inward or outward. At this time, the sliding cavity 33 is fixed at different positions on the adjusting slide rail 4. In this way, the exposed length of the expansion module 3 can be adjusted to adapt to different models of drones and different sizes of configuration parts.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, and refers to... Figure 2 The number of expansion feet 5 shown is the same as that of expansion module 3. Expansion feet 5 include a part fixed to the bottom of expansion module 3 and a part fixed to the bottom of lower expansion plate 2. Expansion feet 5 include a first beam 52 and a second beam 53. The first beam 52 and the second beam 53 are integrally injection molded and are bent into an inward hook shape. Expansion feet 5 also include a first fixing block 51 and a second fixing block 56. The first fixing block 51 and the second fixing block 56 are integrally formed and both the first fixing block 51 and the second fixing block 56 have a horizontal top surface. The second fixing block 56 is fixedly connected to the reserved alignment area 21. The first fixing block 51 is fixedly connected to the expansion port 32. The expansion feet 5 are provided with a buffer space 54. The expansion feet 5 are also provided with a mating interface 55 that is adapted to the reserved installation port 34.

[0041] The expansion module 3 can be used to install the landing gear. The expansion foot 5, which is the landing gear, can form a smaller force-bearing area with the first beam 52 and the second beam 53 when in use, reducing the contact area with the ground. This helps to reduce contact with uneven environments, such as protruding stones, when the landing gear touches the ground. The second beam 53 can avoid stones.

[0042] During installation, by aligning the first fixing block 51 and the second fixing block 56 with the bottom of the extension beam 31 and the bottom of the lower extension plate 2, the contact surfaces are made to fit together, which can quickly achieve the purpose of installation and positioning. In addition, the interface 55 and the reserved installation port 34 can be quickly aligned, and then the interface 55 and the reserved installation port 34 are fixed tightly with bolts, which can quickly install and is easy to operate.

[0043] Example 4

[0044] This embodiment is based on embodiment 1, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the accessory rack 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the lower extension plate 2 and is aligned with the direction of the drone. The accessory rack 6 is used to mount the camera.

[0045] Example 5

[0046] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, and refers to... Figure 3 and Figure 4The protective extension 7 shown includes a circular float 71, which is detachably connected to the bottom of four extension beams 31. The circular float 71 is snapped into the top of the lower extension plate 2 via a connecting flap 76. The protective extension 7 also includes an inner positioning piece 72, which is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the circular float 71. A positioning post 73 is provided through the inner positioning piece 72 and fixed at the position of the extension opening 32. The bottom of the extension beam 31 has an adapter hook groove 74, in which an adapter hook block 75 is provided. A spring support 77 is provided on one side of the adapter hook block 75, and a spring support 77 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring support 77. A locking foot piece 78 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spring support 77 and snaps into the slot provided in the adapter hook groove 74. A square buckle is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting flap 76, and the square buckle is fitted onto the square buckle at the top of the lower extension plate 2.

[0047] In implementing this embodiment, the adapter hook block 75 fixed on the circular float 71 is inserted into the adapter hook groove 74, and then rotated to one side so that one end of the adapter hook block 75 is fastened into the adapter hook groove 74. At this time, the spring support 77 is pressed, so that the spring support 77 enters the adapter hook groove 74. Then, the locking foot piece 78 is locked into the slot, so that the adapter hook block 75 is fixed in the adapter hook groove 74.

[0048] After aligning the inner positioning piece 72 with the position of the expansion port 32, insert the positioning post 73 into the expansion port 32 to fix the circular float 71. Then, fasten the square buckle on the flap 76 onto the square clip to complete the fixation of the protective expansion 7.

[0049] With the protective extension 7 installed, the drone can fly over the lake to prevent it from crashing into the lake when inspecting or performing duties in the water.

[0050] When a drone crashes, the circular float 71 can make contact with the water surface to prevent the drone from sinking to the bottom. Of course, in actual operation, the counterweight of the protective extension 7 can be added so that the protective extension 7 is always at the bottom when it crashes, thus preventing the drone from being damaged by water.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
