Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a lightweight foldable frame for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, or operated autonomously by an onboard computer, either completely or intermittently.

[0003] With the rapid development of drone technology, its application in various fields such as military, agriculture, logistics, emergency rescue, and film and television production is becoming increasingly widespread. However, most traditional drone frames adopt a fixed structure, usually made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber composite materials. Fixed frames take up a lot of space during storage and transportation, which cannot meet the needs of users. To address this issue, we propose a lightweight foldable frame for drones. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightweight foldable frame for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A lightweight foldable frame for a drone includes a drone body. Two sets of positioning frames are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body. Two sets of propellers are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the drone body. A frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body. Each of the two sets of positioning frames has a slotted groove on its opposite side. A fixing plate is fixedly connected inside each positioning frame. Two bearing seats are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each fixing plate. A positioning rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner ring of each set of bearing seats. A rotating component is located below each fixing plate. A connecting hole is opened on the right side of each rotating component, and the connecting hole is rotatably connected to the positioning rotating rod. A support frame is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two sets of rotating components. The top of each rotating component is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixing plate.

[0007] In a further embodiment, two sets of right-angle plates are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body, and the upper surface of each right-angle plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame.

[0008] In a further embodiment, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each of the fixed plates, and the upper surface of each positioning block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the UAV body.

[0009] In a further embodiment, protective pads are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two support frames, and the protective pads are made of rubber.

[0010] In a further embodiment, two force-bearing plates are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body, and the force-bearing plates are adapted to the support frame.

[0011] In a further embodiment, two reinforcing plates are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body. The front end and rear end of each reinforcing plate are fixed to one side of the positioning frame that is close to each other, and the two sides of the reinforcing plates that are close to each other are in contact with the frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This device achieves flexible rotation and folding of the support frame through a fixed connection between the support frame and the rotating component, and by utilizing the cooperation of the fixed plate, bearing seat, positioning rod, slot, and rotating component. The provided slot can limit the rotation of the support frame, ensuring its stability during unfolding and folding. The force plate can provide additional support for the support frame, enhancing its stability. The cooperation of the bearing seat, positioning rod, and connecting hole ensures the stability of the support frame in the unfolded state and the compactness in the folded state, allowing the drone body to be easily folded, stored, and transported when not in use, greatly improving the portability of the drone.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a lightweight foldable frame for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), comprising a UAV body 1. Two sets of positioning frames 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the UAV body 1. Two sets of propellers 3 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the UAV body 1. A frame 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the UAV body 1. Each set of positioning frames 2 has a slot 6 on its opposite side. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected inside each positioning frame 2. Two bearing seats 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each fixing plate 7. A positioning rotating rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of each set of bearing seats 16. A rotating component 8 is provided below each fixing plate 7. A connecting hole 15 is provided on the right side of each rotating component 8, and the connecting hole 15 is rotatably connected to the positioning rotating rod 14.

The top of each rotating component 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed plate 7. The support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating component 8. Through the cooperation of the fixed plate 7, bearing seat 16, positioning rotating rod 14, strip groove 6 and rotating component 8, the flexible rotation and folding of the support frame 10 are realized. The provided strip groove 6 can limit the rotation of the support frame 10 to ensure its stability during unfolding and folding. The force plate 12 can provide additional support for the support frame 10, enhancing its stability. Through the cooperation of the bearing seat 16, positioning rotating rod 14 and connecting hole 15, the stability of the support frame 10 in the unfolded state and the compactness in the folded state are ensured. This allows the drone body 1 to be easily folded, stored and transported when not in use, greatly improving the portability of the drone.

[0023] Two sets of right-angle plates 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body 1. The upper surface of each right-angle plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the frame 4. The right-angle plates 5 are used to reinforce the frame 4. The upper surface of each fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 9. The upper surface of each positioning block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body 1. The positioning blocks 9 are used to support the fixed plate 7. The two support frames 10 are fixedly connected to protective pads 11 on their opposite sides. The protective pads 11 are made of rubber. The protective pads 11 are used to fix the support frames 10.

[0024] Two force-bearing plates 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body 1, and the force-bearing plates 12 are adapted to the support frame 10. The force-bearing plates 12 facilitate the reinforcement of the support frame 10. Two reinforcing plates 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the drone body 1. The front end and the rear end of each reinforcing plate 13 are fixed to the side of the positioning frame 2 that are close to each other. The side of the two reinforcing plates 13 that are close to each other are in contact with the frame 4. The reinforcing plates 13 facilitate the fixation of the positioning frame 2 and also limit the movement of the frame 4 to ensure the stability of the frame 4 and the positioning frame 2.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] In use, the support frame 10 is first fixed to the rotating part 8. The support frame 10 can be rotated by the cooperation of the fixing plate 7, bearing seat 16, positioning rotating rod 14, strip groove 6 and rotating part 8. The strip groove 6 is used for limiting the position, which allows the support frame 10 to be flexibly folded and unfolded. At the same time, when the support frame 10 is unfolded, the force plate 12 can support the support frame 10. Since the bottom surface of the support frame 10 is fixedly connected to the protective pad 11, it is used to protect the support frame 10. The cooperation of the strip groove 6 and the connecting hole 15 ensures the stability of the support frame 10 in the unfolded state or the compactness in the folded state, so that the drone body 1 can be folded, stored and transported when not in use.
