Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone maintenance technology, specifically to a drone maintenance and testing bracket. Background Technology
[0002] A drone is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. Currently, drones are used in various fields. Small drones are generally used for civilian entertainment. Common small drones are aerial photography drones. Medium-sized drones are usually used in agriculture, logistics and distribution, police security, forest fire prevention and other fields. Large drones are usually used for military security.
[0003] After a period of flight operations, existing agricultural drones typically undergo overall maintenance and inspection. This maintenance usually includes external cleaning, internal inspection, mechanical component maintenance, propeller safety checks, motor testing and cleaning, and sensor calibration. These inspections need to be conducted at a maintenance location, and the drone needs to be supported during the maintenance process to allow staff to easily view and operate it. However, existing drone maintenance support structures still have shortcomings in use. The drone support structure usually only provides support for the drone, and staff have to walk around the support structure and the drone, adjusting their body posture to observe and disassemble the drone structure. The drone cannot be in a state where staff can freely adjust it while on the support structure. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.
[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 - Figure 3 The UAV maintenance and inspection bracket shown includes a support mechanism, which includes a turntable 3. Two lead screw lifting devices 4 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the turntable 3. Each of the two lead screw lifting devices 4 has a connecting rod 8 at its sliding end. Each of the two connecting rods 8 has a clamping mechanism 6 at both ends. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a base 65. The top of the base 65 has two relatively sliding first clamping blocks 62 and second clamping blocks 63.
[0033] The staff controls the drone device 2 to fly above the clamping mechanism 6 and places the bottom legs of the drone device 2 on the base 65 of the clamping mechanism 6. The legs are clamped by the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63, making the drone device 2 stable. During the maintenance and inspection of the drone device 2, the drone device 2 and the turntable 3 can be rotated by manually pushing the screw lifting device 4, which makes it easy to view different positions of the drone device 2. The connecting rod 8 and the clamping mechanism 6 are raised and lowered synchronously by the screw lifting device 4, which allows the bottom and top of the drone device 2 to be viewed.
[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the base 65 is provided with a mounting groove 66, and a screw 69 is provided in the mounting groove 66. The bottom of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63 are both provided with sliders 67, which are threadedly connected to the screw 69. The end of the screw 69 is connected to a motor 64.
[0035] The drone device 2 is placed on top of the clamping mechanism 6. The inner walls of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63 are both soft structures. After the bottom feet of the drone device 2 land on the base 65, the motor 64 is started. The output shaft of the motor 64 drives the screw 69 to rotate. The screw 69 is a bidirectional screw. During the rotation of the screw 69, the sliders 67 at the bottom of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63 move closer to each other on the screw 69. During the process of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63 moving closer to each other, the bottom feet of the drone device 2 are clamped, so that the drone device 2 is stable and does not move.
[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a groove 61 is provided on the top of the base 65, and a sliding plate 68 that cooperates with the groove 61 is provided on the bottom of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63. During the movement of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63, the sliding plate 68 moves in a straight line in the groove 61 on the top of the base 65, making the movement of the first clamping block 62 and the second clamping block 63 more stable.
[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a guide rail 7 is also provided on the top of the turntable 3. A guide groove 9 is provided on the surface of the guide rail 7. A guide block 10 is provided in the guide groove 9. One end of the guide block 10 is connected to the connecting rod 8. During the process of the screw lifting device 4 driving the connecting rod 8 to move up and down, the connecting rod 8 drives the guide block 10 to move in the guide groove 9. The linear movement of the guide block 10 in the guide groove 9 can improve the stability of the movement of the connecting rod 8.
[0038] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, two platforms 1 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the turntable 3. The platform 1 has an arc-shaped structure. By standing on the platform 1, the staff can have a better viewing angle to observe the drone device 2.
[0039] The inner wall of platform 1 is also equipped with a traction device 5. The traction device 5 includes a fixed seat 53, a bearing seat 52 at the bottom of the fixed seat 53, a main traction rod 51 on one side of the bearing seat 52, a rotatable auxiliary traction rod 54 connected to one end of the main traction rod 51, a traction cable 55 connected to one end of the auxiliary traction rod 54, and a traction hook 56 fixed to the end of the traction cable 55. During the maintenance of the UAV device 2, the flight status of the UAV device 2 is usually checked. The auxiliary traction rod 54 is manually deployed, and the traction hook 56 is pulled by hand and placed on the wing of the UAV device 2. The UAV device 2 is started by pulling the wing through the traction hook 56. During the takeoff process, the UAV device 2 is pulled and held by the traction hook 56, the traction cable 55, the auxiliary traction rod 54 and the main traction rod 51. The UAV device 2 cannot take off upward. During this process, the staff observes whether there are any problems with the flight status of the UAV device 2.
[0040] 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.
