Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a UAV positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, drones are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, and are mainly used for tasks such as image taking, terrain reconnaissance and security monitoring.

[0003] Currently, in order to avoid the problem of being difficult to search after an accidental fall in the air, existing drones are usually equipped with positioning devices. However, existing positioning devices are connected to the drones by bolts and other connectors, which makes it inconvenient to quickly install and remove the positioning devices from the drones, thus causing inconvenience when the positioning devices are maintained.

[0004] According to a search, as shown in the authorization announcement number CN220410911U, a drone positioning device uses a threaded rod to move a clamping block to clamp the GPS locator, so as to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the GPS. However, due to the excessive vibration of the drone during flight, the threaded rod connection part will slide relative to the threaded connector when subjected to vibration, causing the threaded rod to loosen, which in turn can easily cause the GPS locator to loosen, making the GPS easy to fall off during flight.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drone positioning device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a drone positioning device.

[0007] This utility model provides a drone positioning device, comprising:

[0008] Mounting block, and the straps mounted on both sides thereof;

[0009] The positioning mechanism is located inside and outside the mounting block, and includes a mounting groove opened on the top of the mounting block. A mounting seat is slidably installed inside the mounting groove, and a GPS locator is installed on the top of the mounting seat. The mounting block is provided with a positioning component for limiting the installation of the GPS locator. Limiting components for connecting to the drone are installed on the surfaces of both straps.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning component includes two mounting cavities opened on both sides inside the mounting block. A sliding plate is slidably installed on one side of the mounting cavity, and a wedge block is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding plate. Limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the mounting base. The side of the wedge block away from the sliding plate passes through the mounting block and engages with the limiting groove. A first spring is fixedly installed on the other side of the sliding plate, and one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0011] Preferably, a slide rod is fixedly installed on one side of the slide block, and a first threaded sleeve is installed through both sides of the mounting block and on one side of the mounting cavity. A sleeve rod is slidably installed at the end of the slide rod away from the first spring. The end of the sleeve rod away from the slide rod passes through the first threaded sleeve and extends to the outside of the mounting block. A first threaded groove is formed on the surface of the sleeve rod, and the sleeve rod is threadedly connected to the first threaded sleeve through the first threaded groove.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component includes an insert mounted on one end of a strap, the surface of which has a limiting hole, and a mounting bracket fixedly mounted on one side of the top of the other strap. A second threaded sleeve is installed through the top of the mounting bracket, and a vertical rod is installed through the interior of the second threaded sleeve. A second threaded groove is provided on the top of the surface of the vertical rod, and the vertical rod is threadedly connected to the second threaded sleeve through the second threaded groove. A limiting protrusion is fixedly mounted on one end of the vertical rod inside the mounting bracket, and one end of the insert passes through the mounting bracket and extends into the interior of the mounting bracket. The limiting protrusion and the limiting hole are engaged. A second spring is fixedly mounted between the top of the limiting protrusion and the top of the inner cavity of the mounting bracket.

[0013] Preferably, a Velcro closure is installed on the inner side of one of the straps, while a Velcro closure is installed on the outer side of the other strap, and the limiting hole and the Velcro closure are fitted together.

[0014] Preferably, a handle is fixedly installed at one end of the sleeve rod outside the mounting block, and the surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0015] Compared with related technologies, the UAV positioning device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Utilizing the positioning component, during the installation of the GPS locator, the mounting base and the GPS locator are pressed into the mounting groove. As the mounting base descends, it compresses the wedge block, causing the wedge block to slide into the mounting cavity. As the mounting base descends until the limiting groove coincides with the wedge block, the wedge block uses the elasticity of the first spring to engage with the limiting groove. Simultaneously, the user rotates the sleeve rod, which is fixed through the threaded connection between the first threaded groove and the first threaded sleeve. This achieves stable installation of the GPS locator. Even if the sleeve rod becomes loose due to vibration, the wedge block can still be supported by the elasticity of the first spring to prevent the GPS from falling off during flight.

[0017] 2. Utilizing the limiting component, two straps are tightly wrapped around the surface of the drone, and the Velcro nut and Velcro swivel are attached to each other, allowing the mounting block and GPS locator to be installed on the surface of the drone. During the tightening process, the straps insert the insert into the interior of the mounting bracket, and the second spring drives the limiting protrusion to descend, allowing the limiting protrusion to insert into the limiting hole, thus fixing the insert. After the insert is fixed, the user uses the threaded connection between the second threaded groove and the second threaded sleeve to fix the vertical rod, further improving the stability of the mounting block and GPS locator during installation and preventing the straps from separating from the drone during flight, which could cause the GPS locator to fall off.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 A drone positioning device, comprising:

[0025] Mounting block 1, and straps 2 installed on both sides thereof;

[0026] The positioning mechanism 3 is located inside and outside the mounting block 1, and includes a mounting groove 31 opened on the top of the mounting block 1. A mounting seat 32 is slidably installed inside the mounting groove 31. A GPS locator 33 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 32. A positioning component 34 for limiting the installation of the GPS locator 33 is provided inside the mounting block 1. Limiting components 35 for connecting to the drone are installed on the surfaces of the two straps 2.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning component 34 includes two mounting cavities 341 opened on both sides inside the mounting block 1. A sliding plate 342 is slidably installed on one side of the mounting cavity 341. A wedge block 343 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding plate 342. Limiting grooves 344 are opened on both sides of the mounting base 32. The side of the wedge block 343 away from the sliding plate 342 passes through the mounting block 1 and is engaged with the limiting groove 344. A first spring 345 is fixedly installed on the other side of the sliding plate 342. One end of the first spring 345 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 341.

[0028] It should be noted that: when the mounting base 32 and the GPS locator 33 are pressed into the interior of the mounting groove 31, the mounting base 32 compresses the wedge block 343 during the descent, causing the wedge block 343 to slide into the interior of the mounting cavity 341. As the mounting base 32 descends to the point where it overlaps with the limiting groove 344, the wedge block 343 is engaged with the limiting groove 344 by the elasticity of the first spring 345.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a slide rod 346 is fixedly installed on one side of the slide plate 342. A first threaded sleeve 347 is installed through both sides of the mounting block 1 and on one side of the mounting cavity 341. A sleeve rod 348 is slidably installed at the end of the slide rod 346 away from the first spring 345. The end of the sleeve rod 348 away from the slide rod 346 passes through the first threaded sleeve 347 and extends to the outside of the mounting block 1. A first threaded groove 349 is opened on the surface of the sleeve rod 348. The sleeve rod 348 is threadedly connected to the first threaded sleeve 347 through the first threaded groove 349.

[0030] It should be noted that when the user rotates the sleeve rod 348, the sleeve rod 348 is fixed by the threaded connection between the first threaded groove 349 and the first threaded sleeve 347, thereby achieving stable installation of the GPS locator 33. Even if the first threaded sleeve 347 and the first threaded groove 349 become loose due to vibration, the wedge block 343 can still be supported by the elasticity of the first spring 345.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the limiting component 35 includes an insert 351 installed at one end of a strap 2. The insert 351 has a limiting hole 352 on its surface. A mounting bracket 353 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the other strap 2. A second threaded sleeve 354 is threaded through the top of the mounting bracket 353. A vertical rod 355 is threaded through the interior of the second threaded sleeve 354. A second threaded groove 356 is formed on the top of the surface of the vertical rod 355. The vertical rod 355 is threadedly connected to the second threaded sleeve 354 through the second threaded groove 356. A limiting protrusion 357 is fixedly installed at one end inside the mounting bracket 353. One end of the insert 351 passes through the mounting bracket 353 and extends into the interior of the mounting bracket 353. The limiting protrusion 357 and the limiting hole 352 are snapped together. A second spring 358 is fixedly installed between the top of the limiting protrusion 357 and the top of the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 353. A Velcro 359 is installed on the inner side of one strap 2, and a Velcro 3501 is installed on the outer side of the other strap 2. The limiting hole 352 and the Velcro 3501 are fitted together.

[0032] It should be noted that: the two straps 2 are tightly wrapped around the surface of the drone, and the Velcro 359 and Velcro 3501 are attached to each other, so that the mounting block 1 and the GPS locator 33 are installed on the surface of the drone. During the tightening process of the straps 2, the insert 351 is inserted into the interior of the mounting bracket 353, and the second spring 358 drives the limiting protrusion 357 to descend, so that the limiting protrusion 357 is inserted into the interior of the limiting hole 352, thus fixing the insert 351. After the insert 351 is fixed, the user uses the threaded connection between the second threaded groove 356 and the second threaded sleeve 354 to fix the vertical rod 355, so as to further improve the stability of the mounting block 1 and the GPS locator 33 during installation, and prevent the straps 2 from separating from the drone during the flight, which would cause the GPS locator 33 to fall off.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 As shown, a handle is fixedly installed at one end of the sleeve rod 348 located outside the mounting block 1, and the surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture;

[0034] It should be noted that the user can easily rotate the sleeve 348 to fix the sleeve 348 to the first threaded sleeve 347.

[0035] The working principle of the UAV positioning device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0036] During the installation of the GPS locator 33, the mounting base 32 and the GPS locator 33 are pressed into the mounting groove 31. As the mounting base 32 descends, it compresses the wedge block 343, causing the wedge block 343 to slide into the mounting cavity 341. As the mounting base 32 descends until it coincides with the limiting groove 344, the wedge block 343 is engaged with the limiting groove 344 by the elasticity of the first spring 345. Simultaneously, the user rotates the sleeve rod 348, which is then fixed by the threaded connection between the first threaded groove 349 and the first threaded sleeve 347. This achieves stable installation of the GPS locator 33, even if the sleeve rod 348 vibrates and the first threaded sleeve 347 and the first threaded groove are not properly engaged. When 349 becomes loose, the wedge block 343 can be supported by the elasticity of the first spring 345. After the GPS locator 33 is installed, the two straps 2 are wrapped tightly around the surface of the drone, and the Velcro 359 and Velcro 3501 are attached to each other, so that the mounting block 1 and the GPS locator 33 are installed on the surface of the drone. During the process of wrapping the straps 2, the insert 351 is inserted into the interior of the mounting bracket 353, and the second spring 358 drives the limiting protrusion 357 to descend, so that the limiting protrusion 357 is inserted into the interior of the limiting hole 352, thus fixing the insert 351. After the insert 351 is fixed, the user can fix the vertical rod 355 by using the threaded connection between the second threaded groove 356 and the second threaded sleeve 354.
