[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0025] like Figures 1-5As shown, a modular payload adapter for a drone includes a support frame 1; a drone body 11 is mounted on the top of the support frame 1; a pallet 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 1; a cargo box 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pallet 12; two sets of movable plates 14 are slidably connected to the side wall of the cargo box 13; a rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pallet 12; two sets of gears 16 are fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 15; a first gear rail 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one set of movable plates 14; a second gear rail 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the other set of movable plates 14; the gears 16, the first gear rail 17, and the second gear rail 18 are meshed with each other; a handle 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable plate 14; during operation, after the operator fixes the cargo box 13 in the middle area of the support frame 1, the goods to be transported can be placed on the inner wall of the cargo box 13, and the size of the goods and the space inside the cargo box 13 is... When the two sets of second gear rails 18 cannot be matched, the staff can pull the two sets of second gear rails 18 outwards. The first gear rail 17 and the second gear rail 18 can make the two sets of movable plates 14 unfold outwards synchronously, while driving the gear 16 and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate until the unfolded size matches the cargo. At this time, the cargo can be placed in the inner wall area of the cargo box 13 and the movable plate 14. This step, together with the two sets of movable plates 14 that can be slidably set, can improve the flexibility of the pallet 12 when it is used later, and reduce the problem of the cargo not fitting well with the space inside the pallet 12, which leads to the waste of internal space of the pallet 12 or the difficulty in loading when transporting large or small cargo. Under the action of rotating gear 16, the synchronization of the two sets of movable plates 14 when working can be improved, thereby increasing the consistency of the weight at both ends of the drone body 11 when it is used later.
[0026] like Figures 1-5As shown, two sets of support plates 2 are fixedly connected to the middle of the support frame 1; multiple sets of inner grooves 21 are opened in the middle of the support plate 2; a sliding plate 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the handle 19; an elastic rope 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 22; a connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic rope 23, and the connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 19; two sets of locking pins 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 22, and the locking pins 25 have inner grooves 21 that are shaped to match; during operation, by setting two sets of support plates 2 in the middle of the support frame 1, when the position of the two sets of movable plates 14 needs to be adjusted later, the operator's hand can contact the middle of the sliding plate 22, and at the same time, when pulling the sliding plate 22 upward... The two sets of locking pins 25 can disengage from the inner wall of the inner groove 21, and the length of the elastic rope 23 can be extended. After the position of the movable plate 14 is adjusted, the support for the sliding plate 22 is released, and under the action of the gravity of the sliding plate 22 and the return pull of the handle 19, the locking pins 25 are locked into the inner wall of the inner groove 21 again. This step, together with the set support plate 2 and the multiple sets of inner grooves 21 in the middle, can improve the stability of the movable plate 14 after its position is fixed, and reduce the problem of its opening and closing range being affected by the flight inertia of the UAV body 11. The setting of the elastic rope 23 can improve the stability of the locking pins 25 after they are locked into the inner groove 21, and reduce the problem of easy disengagement from the inner groove 21 later.
[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a fixed frame 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the locking pin 25; a rotating ball 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 3; a counterweight ball 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating ball 31; during operation, by setting the fixed frame 3 in the middle of the locking pin 25, and during the process of pulling the locking pin 25 to move, the counterweight ball 32 can swing in the bottom area of the fixed frame 3 under the action of inertia, and correct the force generated by the sliding plate 22 from multiple angles. Under the action of the counterweight ball 32, this step can reduce the problem of uneven force on the sliding plate 22 when it slides later, and the problem of resetting and getting stuck at the inner wall of the handle 19. In addition, the gravity generated by the counterweight ball 32 further increases the stability of resetting to the inner wall of the inner groove 21.
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a guide block 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the handle 19, and the middle part of the guide block 4 is arc-shaped; a limiting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide block 4; the handle 19 and the guide block 4 are in contact; during operation, by setting the guide block 4 at the bottom of the handle 19, the handle 19 can slide on the inner wall of the guide block 4 during the pulling process, and the handle 19 can be blocked and limited by the limiting plate 41. This step, together with the arc-shaped guide block 4, can reduce the large wear and resistance of the handle 19 during the sliding process, and the limiting plate 41 can reduce the problem of the handle 19 and the guide block 4 separating.
[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a fixing member 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 12; a shielding strip 51 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing member 5, and the shielding strip 51 is set near the gear 16; during operation, by setting the fixing member 5 on the side wall of the support plate 12, the unfolded shielding strip 51 can continue to shield the outer wall of the gear 16. Under the action of the shielding strip 51, this step can reduce the problem of external impurities accumulating and adhering to the outer wall of the gear 16 when the UAV body 11 is used in flight, which would cause more resistance when meshing with the first gear rail 17 and the second gear rail 18.
[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the inner wall of the inner groove 21 is provided with a guide groove 6. During operation, the guide groove 6 is provided in the middle of the inner groove 21, and the edge of the locking pin 25 can contact the guide groove 6 before it is inserted into the inner wall of the inner groove 21. Under the action of the inclined guide groove 6, this step can guide the position of the locking pin 25 inserted into the inner wall of the inner groove 21, reducing the problem of slight deviation between it and the inner groove 21, which makes it difficult to match.
[0031] Working principle: After fixing the cargo box 13 to the middle area of the support frame 1, the goods to be transported can be placed on the inner wall of the cargo box 13. When the size of the goods and the space inside the cargo box 13 cannot be matched, the operator can pull outwards the two sets of second gear rails 18. The first gear rail 17 and the second gear rail 18 can make the two sets of movable plates 14 unfold outwards simultaneously, driving the gear 16 and the rotating shaft 15 to rotate until the unfolded size matches the goods. At this time, the goods can be placed in the cargo box 13 and the inner wall area of the movable plates 14. By setting two sets of support plates 2 in the middle of the support frame 1, when the position of the two sets of movable plates 14 needs to be adjusted, the operator's hand can contact the middle of the sliding plate 22. During the upward pulling of the sliding plate 22, the two sets of locking pins 25 can disengage from the inner wall of the inner groove 21, and the length of the elastic rope 23 can be extended. Then, the movable plates 14 can be adjusted. After the position is adjusted, the support for the sliding plate 22 is released, and under the action of the gravity of the sliding plate 22 and the return pull of the handle 19, the locking pin 25 is locked into the inner wall of the inner groove 21 again. By setting a fixing frame 3 in the middle of the locking pin 25, during the process of pulling the locking pin 25, the counterweight ball 32 can swing in the bottom area of the fixing frame 3 under the action of inertia, and correct the force generated by the sliding of the sliding plate 22 at multiple angles. By setting a guide block 4 at the bottom of the handle 19, the handle 19 can slide in the inner wall of the guide block 4 during the pulling process. At the same time, the handle 19 can be blocked and limited by the limiting plate 41. By setting a fixing member 5 on the side wall of the support plate 12, the unfolded blocking strip 51 can continue to block the outer wall of the gear 16. By setting a guide groove 6 in the middle of the inner groove 21, the edge of the locking pin 25 can contact the guide groove 6 before the locking pin 25 is locked into the inner wall of the inner groove 21.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
