Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a UAV landing gear structure. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft that do not require a pilot to fly on board and fly autonomously by means of remote control or preset programs. They are widely used in many fields such as aerial photography, agricultural plant protection, geographic surveying and mapping, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and cargo transportation. With their advantages of high flexibility, ease of operation, and low cost, they play an increasingly important role in modern society.
[0003] Drones are typically equipped with tripods to ensure a smooth landing and prevent direct contact with the ground, thus protecting the drone. While existing drone tripods provide support and protection, their simple structure and limited functionality fail to meet diverse user needs. When conducting scientific research or film production, users may require capturing images from different angles or using different spectra simultaneously. In such cases, the drone's built-in camera may be insufficient, necessitating the mounting of an additional camera. Existing drone tripods cannot accommodate such mountings, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above problems by providing a drone tripod structure that has the advantage of mounting a camera.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drone tripod structure, including a support plate, brackets fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate, side plates fixedly installed inside the brackets, two side plates, a fixed frame fixedly connected between the two side plates, a crossbar fixedly installed inside the fixed frame, sliders movably sleeved on the left and right sides of the outer surface of the crossbar, a movable frame movably sleeved inside the sliders, a base plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable frame, an mounting block fixedly installed at the top of the sliders, a threaded rod movably sleeved between the mounting blocks, a movable block threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod, the bottom of the movable block movably connected to the top of the slider, a hinge rod hinged to the outer side of the movable block, the top of the hinge rod hinged to the top of the inner side of the movable frame, and a rotating block fixedly installed at the rear end of the threaded rod.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, there are two base plates, and a first anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two base plates.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a top plate located below the crossbar is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner surface of the fixed frame, and a second anti-slip pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a spring is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slider, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, bolt holes are provided at both the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the pallet, and there are four bolt holes of the same size.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, there are two brackets, and both brackets are fixedly fitted with sponge shock-absorbing sleeves.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer surface of the slider is movably connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame, and the inner surface of the slider is smooth.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention, by setting up a slider, movable frame, threaded rod, and hinge rod, allows the operator to first place the camera between two movable frames, so that the base plate supports the bottom of the camera. Then, by rotating the rotating block, the rotating block drives the threaded rod to rotate, thereby moving the movable block. This causes the hinge rod to push the movable frame upward inside the slider, so that the top of the camera contacts the bottom of the second anti-slip pad, thus fixing the camera. This allows the operator to install the camera between supports, thereby meeting more diverse shooting needs of users and improving the overall flexibility of the support. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a drone tripod structure, including a support plate 1. Support brackets 2 are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the support plate 1. Side plates 3 are fixedly installed inside the support brackets 2. There are two side plates 3, and a fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected between the two side plates 3. A crossbar 5 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame 4. Slider blocks 6 are movably sleeved on both the left and right sides of the outer surface of the crossbar 5. A movable frame 7 is movably sleeved inside the slider 6. A base plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable frame 7. An mounting block 9 is fixedly installed at the top of the slider 6. A threaded rod 10 is movably sleeved between the mounting blocks 9. A movable block 11 is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 10. The bottom of the movable block 11 is connected to the sliding block 9. The top of block 6 is movably connected, and the outer side of the movable block 11 is hinged with a hinge rod 12. The top of the hinge rod 12 is hinged to the top of the inner side of the movable frame 7. The rear end of the threaded rod 10 is fixedly installed with a rotating block 13. The operator can place the camera between the two movable frames 7 so that the base plate 8 can support the bottom of the camera. Then, by rotating the rotating block 13, the threaded rod 10 drives the movable block 11 to move forward, so that the hinge rod 12 can push the movable frame 7 to rise inside the slider 6, thereby clamping and fixing the camera with the base plate 8, so that the camera is stably installed between the two movable frames 7, and thus can take pictures through the camera during the flight of the drone.
[0022] There are two base plates 8, and a first anti-slip pad 14 is fixedly installed on the top of both base plates 8. The two first anti-slip pads 14 are the same size. Due to the design of the first anti-slip pads 14, the first anti-slip pads 14 can play an anti-slip role and at the same time protect the camera and prevent the camera shell from being scratched.
[0023] The top plate 15 located below the crossbar 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner surface of the fixed frame 4, and a second anti-slip pad 16 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 15. When the camera is fixed, the top of the camera will contact the bottom of the second anti-slip pad 16, and the design of the second anti-slip pad 16 can play the role of anti-slip and protecting the camera.
[0024] A spring 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the slider 6, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame 4. By setting the spring 17, when the camera is placed between the two movable frames 7, the spring 17 will push the slider 6 towards the middle under the elastic recovery action, so that the two movable frames 7 can initially clamp the camera.
[0025] The tray 1 has four bolt holes 18 at both the front and rear ends on both sides of the left and right sides. The four bolt holes 18 are the same size. By setting the bolt holes 18, the operator can connect the tray 1 to the drone with bolts, so that the tray 1 can be installed on the bottom of the drone.
[0026] There are two brackets 2, and each bracket 2 is fixedly fitted with a sponge shock-absorbing sleeve 19. By setting the sponge shock-absorbing sleeve 19, the sponge shock-absorbing sleeve 19 can play a shock-absorbing role, thereby reducing the impact force on the drone at the moment of landing, thus protecting the drone.
[0027] The outer surface of the slider 6 is movably connected to the inner surface of the fixed frame 4, and the inner surface of the slider 6 is smooth. The smooth inner surface of the slider 6 allows the movable frame 7 to rise or fall more smoothly inside the slider 6.
[0028] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0029] When the operator needs to install the camera inside the entire tray 1, the two movable frames 7 can be pushed to move in opposite directions, and then the camera can be placed between the two movable frames 7. At this time, the spring 17 will push the two sliders 6 to move towards each other under the elastic recovery action, so that the movable frames 7 can initially clamp and fix the camera. Then, the operator can rotate the rotating block 13, so that the threaded rod 10 drives the moving block 11 to move forward, so that the hinge rod 12 pushes the movable frame 7 to rise inside the slider 6, and then the base plate 8 drives the camera to rise, so that the top of the camera contacts the bottom of the second anti-slip pad 16, thereby clamping and fixing the camera, and thus completing the installation of the camera. Then, the operator places the drone on the top of the tray 1, and connects the tray 1 and the drone by inserting bolts into the bolt holes 18, thus completing the installation of the entire tray 1.
