Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveying instrument installation technology, specifically a surveying instrument installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Today, drones can easily capture data, which can be readily modeled, managed, and shared through various software platforms, making it a valuable resource for users such as GIS analysts, surveyors, and pilots. Clearly, drone mapping enables key business stakeholders to make faster and more accurate decisions by providing rapid aerial data.

[0003] A search revealed a mapping instrument mounting structure for UAV mapping, disclosed in Chinese patent application number 202220803740.9. This patent discloses a mapping instrument mounting structure for UAV mapping, comprising a UAV and a mapping instrument. A mounting plate is provided on the lower surface of the UAV, and a support column is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface of the mounting plate. A connecting seat is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support column. A T-shaped groove is formed on the front of the connecting seat, the length of which is less than the length of the connecting seat. A connecting plate is disposed within the T-shaped groove, and the mapping instrument is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate. This UAV mapping instrument mounting structure, as described in this patent, allows for the mapping instrument to be fixed by inserting the connecting plate at the top of the mapping instrument into the T-shaped groove. Releasing the movable plate allows the locking block to engage with the slot on the connecting plate through the restoring force of a first spring. Disassembly is simple: just press down on the movable plate to disengage the locking block from the slot, thus eliminating the need for tools and making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0004] Although the aforementioned patent allows for operation without tools, making installation and disassembly more convenient, in practical applications, the patent is used to position the engagement between the card block and the slot. However, during the flight of a drone, environmental factors can easily cause vibrations, which may lead to elastic deformation of the first spring. This can cause the vertical rod to cause the card block on the horizontal plate to shift downwards. If the card block falls out of the slot and the connecting plate shifts slightly outwards, the card block cannot engage with the slot again. Although the top of the card block can abut against the connecting plate to generate sliding friction, the engagement between the connecting plate and the T-slot is still unstable in this state, and the surveying instrument may even fall off.

[0005] Therefore, a surveying instrument mounting structure is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a surveying instrument mounting structure, including a mounting plate 1 installed on the bottom of a drone and a surveying instrument body 2. A support column 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the mounting plate 1, a connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 3, a frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 4, a sliding groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the frame 5, a sliding plate 7 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 6, and the bottom of the sliding plate 7 is fixedly connected to the surveying instrument body 2. Storage slots 8 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the sliding plate 7, sliding columns 9 are symmetrically fixedly connected inside the storage slots 8, a locking plate 10 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding column 9, and the locking plate 10 is slidably connected to the storage slot 8. Slots 11 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the groove wall of the sliding groove 6, and the slots 11 cooperate with the locking plate 10. A push-out spring 12 is sleeved on the surface of the sliding column 9. A lifting groove 13 is provided at the top of the frame 5, a lifting block 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting groove 13, and the lifting block 14 cooperates with the sliding plate 7.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each of the four corners of the bottom of the connecting plate 4 is fixedly connected with an elastic column 15, and the other end of the elastic column 15 passes through the connecting plate 4 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. A buffer spring 16 is sleeved on the surface of the elastic column 15.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the setting of elastic column 15 and buffer spring 16 can effectively alleviate the vibration generated during the flight of the UAV and the impact force during landing, protect the main body of the surveying instrument 2, and reduce the impact of vibration on the surveying accuracy. At the same time, the elastic column 15 only deforms significantly under stress, and can quickly return to its original state and size after the stress is relaxed, thereby suppressing the repeated bouncing of the buffer spring 16 after absorbing the impact.

[0026] refer to Figure 5 The slide plate 7 has symmetrical through holes 17 on both sides. A rotating column 18 is rotatably connected inside the through hole 17. A column sleeve 19 is threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating column 18. The column sleeve 19 is used in conjunction with the clamping plate 10. A limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 17. The limiting groove is slidably connected to the column sleeve 19.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up through hole 17, rotating column 18, column sleeve 19 and limiting groove, when it is necessary to disassemble the main body 2 of the surveying instrument, rotating column 18 causes column sleeve 19 to move linearly, thereby abutting the card plate 10 and retracting it into storage groove 8, so that the slide plate 7 and the main body 2 of the surveying instrument can be easily taken out from the slide groove 6. The installation is done in reverse, which is simple and convenient.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 The front of the connecting plate 4 is provided with an auxiliary groove, and the front of the auxiliary groove is provided with auxiliary holes symmetrically. The front of the lifting block 14 is provided with a fastening groove 20 symmetrically. A fastening spring 21 is fixedly connected inside the fastening groove 20. The other end of the fastening spring 21 is fixedly connected with a fastening block 22, and the fastening block 22 is engaged with the auxiliary hole.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up an auxiliary groove, a fastening groove 20, a fastening spring 21 and a fastening block 22, the fastening block 22 is inserted into the auxiliary hole under the action of the fastening spring 21, thereby realizing the lifting block 14, thus preventing the lifting block 14 from sliding on its own, and realizing the precise positioning and fixing of the slide plate 7 and the surveying instrument body 2.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 The storage slot 8 has a retaining groove in its wall, and the card plate 10 has a retaining frame 23 fitted on its surface, and the retaining frame 23 is slidably connected to the retaining groove.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the setting of the baffle groove and the baffle frame 23 prevents the card plate 10 from sliding out of the storage groove 8 and causing it to be lost.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 The inner wall of the lifting groove 13 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a limiting block (not shown), and the two sides of the lifting block 14 are symmetrically provided with limiting grooves, and the limiting grooves are slidably connected with the limiting blocks.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the limiting block and the limiting groove, the movement trajectory of the lifting block 14 can be restricted, and the lifting block 14 can be prevented from falling out of the lifting groove 13, thereby improving the stability of the lifting block 14 during use.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When installing the surveying instrument body 2 on the mounting plate 1 of the UAV, the surveying instrument body 2 is slid into the sliding groove 6 at the bottom of the frame 5 via the sliding plate 7. During the sliding process, the retaining plates 10 in the storage grooves 8 on both sides of the sliding plate 7 need to be pressed to store them in the storage grooves 8, and the ejection spring 12 is compressed. Then, the sliding plate 7 is slid. When the retaining plate 10 moves to the position of the retaining groove 11, the retaining plate 10 pops out under the action of the ejection spring 12 and is inserted into the retaining groove 11, completing the initial connection between the surveying instrument body 2 and the frame 5. Then, the fastening block 22 is pressed to retract it into the fastening groove 20. Then, the lifting block 14 is moved down until it can no longer be moved. When the lifting block 14 moves, its side abuts against the slide plate 7, thereby restricting the movement trajectory of the slide plate 7. At this time, the fastening block 22 is inserted into the auxiliary hole under the action of the fastening spring 21, thereby achieving the positioning effect of the lifting block 14 and completing the entire installation process. When disassembling the main body 2 of the surveying instrument, the rotating column 18 is rotated to drive the column sleeve 19 to move horizontally in the through hole 17, thereby allowing the column sleeve 19 to abut against the card plate 10 and retract into the storage groove 8. Then, the fastening block 22 is pressed to retract into the fastening groove 20. Then, the lifting block 14 is pulled up, and then the slide plate 7 is pulled out from the slide groove 6, thereby achieving the quick disassembly of the main body 2 of the surveying instrument.
