[0002] A drone parachute is an emergency safety device that automatically or manually deploys when a drone encounters an emergency. It slows down the descent by using air resistance, protecting the equipment and personnel on the ground. As an important safety device, the drone parachute plays a crucial role in ensuring the flight safety of drones.

[0003] To ensure the safety of drones, most industrial drones are equipped with parachute components mounted on fixed brackets. However, due to the small size of drones, the existing fixed brackets are structurally weak. As a result, in the event of an accidental crash, the parachute component is prone to separating from the drone, causing the drone to crash and creating a safety hazard. The parachute loses its due protective function and affects safety. Utility Model Content

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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0023] A mounting bracket for a drone parachute includes a drone body 1, an upper cover 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drone body 1, a landing gear mounting base 4 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the drone body 1, an arm mounting base 3 fixedly connected to the side of the drone body 1, a landing gear body 5 fixedly connected to the surface of the landing gear mounting base 4, a mounting frame 6 mounted on the surface of the drone body 1, a connecting frame 7 mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 6, a mounting platform 8 and a second side plate 11 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame 7, a bracket screw 9 and a first side plate 10 mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 6, a threaded rod 12 fixedly connected to the surface of the first side plate 10, and a insertion hole 13 formed on the surface of the second side plate 11. The surface of plate 11 is fitted with fastening nuts 14. The main structure of the drone consists of drone body 1, upper cover 2, arm mounting base 3, foot mounting base 4 and foot body 5. Upper cover 2 is the top cover of the drone, which contains a switch assembly and also protects the circuit board. The parachute mounting bracket is installed above the upper cover 2. Mounting bracket 6, connecting bracket 7 and mounting platform 8 form the parachute mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a key component of the drone parachute fixing device. Mounting platform 8 has a hexagonal structure with a grid-shaped structure in the middle for reinforcing ribs. The holes at the top of mounting platform 8 are connected to the parachute. The bottom of mounting bracket 6 is connected to foot mounting base 4 by bracket screws 9.

[0024] Furthermore, there are six sets of arm mounting bases 3, which are installed at the six ends of the drone body 1. There are two sets of landing gear mounting bases 4 and landing gear bodies 5, which are installed on both sides of the drone body 1. The surface of the landing gear body 5 is T-shaped. This drone adopts a quick-release folding arm design, which can quickly replace the arms and motors on the arms. It is also convenient to store and transport after folding. The function of the arm mounting base 3 is to limit the parachute fixing bracket. The upper end of the landing gear mounting base 4 is locked to the mounting bracket 6 and the lower end is locked to the landing gear body 5. The landing gear body 5, also known as the landing gear, is the support component for the take-off and landing of the drone.

[0025] Furthermore, there are two sets of mounting brackets 6, which are installed on both sides of the upper cover 2. One end of the mounting bracket 6 is inserted and connected to the surface of the UAV body 1, and the other end of the mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first side plate 10. The part of the mounting bracket 6 connected to the UAV body 1 has a semi-enclosed structure to increase the stress area of ​​the fixed bracket.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting frame 7 is provided in two sets. The two sets of connecting frames 7 are installed on both sides of the upper cover 2. One end of the connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting platform 8, and the other end of the connecting frame 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second side plate 11. Under the action of the connecting frame 7, the connection effect between the mounting frame 6 and the mounting platform 8 can be achieved.

[0027] Furthermore, there are two sets of bracket screws 9. The two sets of bracket screws 9 are installed on both sides of the tripod base 4 and the mounting bracket 6. The bracket screws 9 are connected through the surfaces of the tripod base 4 and the mounting bracket 6. The bracket screws 9 can lock and fix the bracket and connect to the tripod base 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the dimensions of the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 11 are the same. The threaded rod 12 is inserted into the surface of the insertion hole 13. The size of the insertion hole 13 is smaller than the size of the fastening nut 14. The threaded rod 12 can be installed through the first side plate 10, and the threaded rod 12 and the fastening nut 14 can be installed through the second side plate 11. The connection between the first side plate 10 and the second side plate 11 can achieve the connection effect between the mounting bracket 6 and the connecting bracket 7. The threaded rod 12 passes through the insertion hole 13 through the surface of the second side plate 11, thereby enabling the connecting bracket 7 and the mounting platform 8 to move and adjust along the direction of the threaded rod 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the fastening nut 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 12. Two sets of fastening nuts 14 are provided, and the two sets of fastening nuts 14 are abutted and connected to both sides of the second side plate 11. With the connection of the threaded rod 12, the insertion hole 13, and the two sets of fastening nuts 14, the movable and adjustable connecting frame 7 and the mounting platform 8 can be limited and fixed.

[0030] Working principle: Before using the drone, the fixed bracket for placing the parachute must be installed on its surface. First, insert the mounting bracket 6 into the surface of the drone body 1 on the mounting footrest 4, and adjust it so that the holes on the mounting bracket 6 and the footrest 4 are aligned. Then, insert the bracket screw 9 into the hole and tighten it with threads to connect and fix the mounting bracket 6, the footrest 4 and the drone body 1. At this time, install the connecting bracket 7 on the surface of the mounting bracket 6, and connect a set of fastening nuts 14 to the threaded rod 12 with threads. Then, align the insertion hole 13 on the second side plate 11 with the threaded rod 12 fixed on the first side plate 10, so that the threaded rod 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 13 and passes through the surface of the second side plate 11. Then, connect another set of fastening nuts 14 to the threaded rod 12 with threads, so that the two sets of fastening nuts 14 are placed on both sides of the second side plate 11. After adjusting the position and height of the mounting platform 8, tighten the two sets of fastening nuts 14 so that they abut against both sides of the second side plate 11 to complete the installation and adjustment of the fixed bracket.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
