Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of drones, and more particularly to a lighting device for drones. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of drones in civilian, commercial and other fields, they are often used at night or in poor lighting conditions, so external lighting devices are usually attached to drones.
[0003] Current lighting devices mainly consist of a bracket and a light fixture. The bracket is bolted to the drone, and the light fixture is rotatably connected to the bracket. To facilitate angle control, the light fixture is typically adjusted manually before drone use and then secured with bolts.
[0004] In practical use, when lighting needs change, fixed-angle lights are not easy to meet the needs, and the angle of the lights needs to be readjusted, resulting in a smaller applicable range of the lighting device, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a lighting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
[0006] This application provides a lighting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A lighting device for a drone is mounted on the drone body and includes a bracket and a lighting component. The bracket has a connecting shaft, and the drone body has a first drive component connected to the connecting shaft. A support shaft is rotatably connected to the side of the bracket away from the connecting shaft. The lighting component is mounted on the support shaft. The bracket has a second drive component for controlling the rotation of the support shaft. The axis of the support shaft is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the first drive component controls the rotation of the connecting shaft and the bracket, and the bracket drives the support shaft and the lighting component to rotate, thereby completing the first adjustment of the lighting component's position. The second drive component then controls the rotation of the support shaft and the lighting component to complete the second adjustment of the lighting component's position, allowing the lighting component to adapt to different lighting needs, thus improving the overall applicability of the lighting device.
[0009] Preferably, the first drive component includes a connector and a first motor. One side of the connector is connected to the UAV body and the other side is connected to the first motor. The output end of the first motor is connected to the connecting shaft.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting seat provides support for the first motor. The first motor starts and drives the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the bracket and lighting components to rotate, so as to initially adjust the position of the lighting components.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting shaft is provided with a plurality of fixed posts, each of the fixed posts passing through the output end of the first motor, each of the fixed posts being threaded with a fixed ring, and each of the fixed rings abutting against the connecting shaft.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to connect the first drive assembly and the bracket, the worker inserts the output end of the first motor into the connecting shaft, and then passes each fixing post through the connecting shaft and the output end of the first motor. The worker then installs the fixing ring on the fixing post at the corresponding position, so that the fixing ring abuts against the connecting shaft, thereby completing the fixation between the first motor and the connecting shaft, so that the first motor can subsequently control the rotation of the connecting shaft.
[0013] Preferably, the second drive assembly includes a second motor, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The second motor is mounted on a bracket, the first bevel gear is mounted on the output end of the second motor, and the second bevel gear is sleeved on a support shaft. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor controls the rotation of the first bevel gear, which in turn drives the rotation of the second bevel gear. The second bevel gear then controls the rotation of the support shaft, which in turn controls the rotation of the lighting component, thus completing the adjustment of the lighting component's position.
[0015] Preferably, the lighting assembly includes a support frame and a lighting lamp, the support frame being mounted on a support shaft, and the lighting lamp being detachably connected to the side of the support frame away from the bracket.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the support bracket provides support for the lighting fixture, enabling its stable use. At the same time, the detachable lighting fixture facilitates easy replacement by the user.
[0017] Preferably, the support frame has a dovetail groove, and the lighting lamp has a dovetail strip, which is disposed in the dovetail groove.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to install a lighting fixture, the worker inserts the dovetail strip into the dovetail groove. Under the action of the friction between the dovetail strip and the inner wall of the dovetail groove, as well as the cooperation between the dovetail strip and the dovetail groove, the installation between the lighting fixture and the support bracket is completed, thus providing convenience for the installation of the lighting fixture.
[0019] Preferably, the lighting lamp is embedded with a plurality of first magnets, and the support frame is embedded with a plurality of second magnets, each of the first magnets corresponding to a second magnet, and the first magnets and the corresponding second magnets are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other, providing a limit for the lighting lamp and the support frame, making it less likely for the lighting lamp to shift during use, thereby improving the stability of the lighting lamp during use.
[0021] Preferably, the bracket is equipped with a storage battery, and the first motor, the second motor, and the lighting lamp are all electrically connected to the storage battery.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery can conveniently supply power to the first motor, the second motor, and the lighting.
[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0024] 1. By setting up a first driving component and a second driving component, the position of the lighting component can be easily adjusted, making the lighting component adaptable to different lighting needs, thereby improving the applicability of the lighting device;
[0025] 2. The installation of detachable lighting fixtures makes it convenient for workers to replace them;
[0026] 3. By incorporating a battery, it is easy to power the first motor, the second motor, and the lighting, thus reducing the drone's energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0032] This application discloses a lighting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 A lighting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is mounted on the UAV body 1 and includes a bracket 2 and a lighting component 3. The UAV body 1 has a first drive component 4, and a connecting shaft 21 is fixed to the bracket 2. The first drive component 4 controls the rotation of the connecting shaft 21. A support shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the side of the bracket 2 opposite to the connecting shaft 21, and the lighting component 3 is mounted on the support shaft 22. The bracket 2 also has a second drive component 5 for controlling the rotation of the support shaft 22, and the axis of the support shaft 22 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting shaft 21.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 The first drive component 4 includes a connecting seat 41 and a first motor 42. One side of the connecting seat 41 is connected to the UAV body 1 and the other side is connected to the first motor 42. The output end of the first motor 42 is connected to the connecting shaft 21.
[0034] The second drive assembly 5 includes a second motor 51, a first bevel gear 52, and a second bevel gear 53. The second motor 51 is fixed on the bracket 2, and the first bevel gear 52 is coaxially fixed on the output end of the second motor 51. The second bevel gear 53 is coaxially fixed on the support shaft 22, and the first bevel gear 52 meshes with the second bevel gear 53.
[0035] When the position of the lighting component 3 needs to be adjusted, the first motor 42 sequentially controls the connecting shaft 21 and the bracket 2 to rotate. The bracket 2 then sequentially drives the support shaft 22, the second drive component 5, and the lighting component 3 to rotate, thus initially adjusting the position of the lighting component 3. The second motor 51 controls the first bevel gear 52 to rotate. The first bevel gear 52 then sequentially controls the second bevel gear 53 and the support shaft 22 to rotate. The support shaft 22 then controls the lighting component 3 to rotate, further adjusting the position of the lighting component 3 so that it can adapt to different lighting needs, thereby improving the overall applicability of the lighting device.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 To facilitate the connection between the output end of the first motor 42 and the connecting shaft 21, a number of fixing posts 211 are provided on the connecting shaft 21. The output end of the first motor 42 extends into the connecting shaft 21, and each fixing post 211 passes through the output end of the first motor 42. Each fixing post 211 is threaded with a fixing ring 212, and each fixing ring 212 abuts against the connecting shaft 21.
[0037] The worker inserts the output end of the first motor 42 into the connecting shaft 21, then passes each fixing post 211 through the connecting shaft 21 and the output end of the first motor 42 in sequence, and then installs each fixing ring 212 on the fixing post 211 at the corresponding position in sequence, so that each fixing ring 212 abuts against the connecting shaft 21, thus completing the fixing between the first motor 42 and the connecting shaft 21.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lighting assembly 3 includes a support frame 31 and a lighting lamp 32. The support frame 31 is fixed on the support shaft 22, and the lighting lamp 32 is detachably connected to the side of the support frame 31 away from the bracket 2.
[0039] The support frame 31 has a dovetail groove 311, and the lighting lamp 32 has a dovetail strip 321 fixed in it. The dovetail strip 321 is disposed in the dovetail groove 311. The lighting lamp 32 is embedded with a number of first magnets 322, and the support frame 31 is embedded with a number of second magnets 312. Each first magnet 322 corresponds to a second magnet 312, and the first magnets 322 and the corresponding second magnets 312 are magnetically attracted to each other.
[0040] When the lighting lamp 32 needs to be installed, the worker inserts the dovetail strip 321 into the dovetail groove 311. After the lamp head of the lighting lamp 32 abuts against the support bracket 31, the installation between the lighting lamp 32 and the support bracket 31 is completed. At this time, under the action of the dovetail strip 321 and the dovetail groove 311, the lighting lamp 32 is provided with the first layer of restraint, making it difficult for the lighting lamp 32 to separate from the support bracket 31. At the same time, each of the first magnets 322 is magnetically attracted to the corresponding second magnet 312, providing the lighting lamp 32 with the second layer of restraint, further reducing the possibility of the lighting lamp 32 separating from the support bracket 31, thereby improving the stability of the lighting lamp 32 during use.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to save the drone's energy, a battery 6 is installed on the bracket 2. The first motor 42, the second motor 51 and the lighting lamp 32 are all electrically connected to the battery 6. The battery 6 supplies power to the first motor 42, the second motor 51 and the lighting lamp 32 so that the lighting lamp 32 can adapt to different lighting needs.
[0042] The implementation principle of a lighting device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The first drive component 4 controls the rotation of the connecting shaft 21 and the bracket 2 to initially adjust the position of the lighting lamp 32. The second drive component 5 controls the rotation of the support shaft 22 to further adjust the position of the lighting lamp 32, thereby realizing the function of automatically adjusting the position of the lighting lamp 32, so that the lighting lamp 32 can adapt to different lighting needs, thereby improving the overall applicability of the lighting device.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
