Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of image transmission data link technology, and specifically to an adapter ring for an image transmission data link system. Background Technology
[0002] The image transmission data link system consists of airborne unit equipment, ground equipment, and airborne test equipment. With technological advancements, the structural size of airborne unit equipment (such as the data transmission module on a UAV) has gradually decreased to meet the demands for lightweight design and high efficiency. Traditional airborne test equipment is often designed to be relatively large to accommodate a wider range of testing needs. However, this large size is not always suitable for interfacing with miniaturized airborne unit equipment. Limited by the size of the Zynq core board and the overall product form factor, airborne test equipment cannot perfectly align with the airborne unit in terms of size.
[0003] Due to the small size of aerial unit equipment, conventional discrete aerial test equipment presents numerous challenges in terms of size, installation, and compatibility. These issues not only increase the complexity and cost of testing but may also negatively impact the overall performance and stability of the image transmission data link system. Therefore, designing a compact, efficient, and easy-to-install aerial test device has become a major challenge in the current development of image transmission data link systems.
[0004] In existing image transmission data link systems, the air unit equipment and air test equipment are usually installed separately, which results in excessively large equipment size and is not conducive to the development of miniaturization. For example, the coupled test system and application method based on the image transmission data link system disclosed in patent number CN202311740032.0 have separate installation of the air unit equipment and air test equipment in the image transmission data link system, resulting in large size of the air equipment, which makes it difficult to meet the miniaturization and weight reduction of existing equipment.

[0024] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a transition ring for an image transmission data link system, the image transmission data link system including: an air unit device 3 and an air test device 1, and further including: a conical transition ring 1 for connecting the air unit device 3 and the air test device 1 into an integrated structure;
[0025] The larger end of the conical adapter ring 1 extends into the housing of the aerial test equipment 1, and the smaller end of the conical adapter ring 2 extends into the housing of the aerial unit equipment 3.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] In actual operation, the air unit device 3 in the image transmission data link system is responsible for data acquisition, processing, and transmission, and is the core component of the system. The air test device 1 is used to test and verify the data transmitted by the air unit device 3, ensuring its accuracy and integrity. First, the larger end of the conical adapter ring 2 is inserted into the housing of the air test device 1 and connected and fixed. Then, the smaller end of the conical adapter ring 2 is inserted into the housing of the air unit device 3 and connected and fixed. Through the connecting rings, the air unit device 3 and the air test device 1 are connected into a single structure. This simplifies the system structure and reduces system complexity and maintenance costs. This makes the system easier to deploy and maintain, improving its availability and flexibility.
[0028] In the above technical solution, the tapered adapter ring 2 has protrusions 21 at both ends. Each protrusion 21 extends into the housing of the aerial test equipment 1 and the housing of the aerial unit equipment 3, respectively. A threaded hole 6 is provided on the contact surface between each protrusion 21 and the housing of the aerial test equipment 1 and the housing of the aerial unit equipment 3. A screw (not shown in the figure) is threaded into the threaded hole 6. This technical solution, by providing protrusions 21 extending into the housing of the aerial test equipment 1 and the housing of the aerial unit equipment 3 (where the diameter of the housing of the aerial test equipment 1 is Φ2 and the diameter of the aerial unit is Φ1), improves the integration and streamlined appearance of the tapered adapter ring 2 with the housing of the aerial test equipment 1 and the aerial unit equipment 3. Simultaneously, the threaded hole 6 and the screw on the contact surface ensure a stable connection between the tapered adapter ring 2, the aerial test equipment 1, and the aerial unit equipment 3.
[0029] In the above technical solution, the base of the aerial test equipment 1 is symmetrically provided with brackets 7 for connecting to external devices. This technical solution facilitates the installation of the aerial test equipment 1 onto external devices via the brackets 7 on the base of the aerial test equipment 1.
[0030] In the above technical solution, the front end of the aerial test equipment 1 is provided with a camera 4 for acquiring external images, and the front end of the aerial test equipment 1 is provided with a transparent protective cover 5.
[0031] The camera 4 is located inside the transparent protective cover 5. This technical solution allows the camera 4 to be directly integrated into the front end of the aerial testing equipment 1, making image acquisition more direct and efficient. Simultaneously, because the camera 4 is tightly connected to the aerial testing equipment, signal loss and interference during transmission are reduced. The transparent protective cover 5 provides a safe operating environment for the camera 4, effectively preventing damage from external factors such as dust, moisture, and impacts, thereby extending the camera 4's service life.
[0032] In the above technical solution, the adapter ring 2 has a cable pass-through hole 8 in its middle, connecting the air unit device 3 and the air test device 1. This design allows the cables connecting the air unit device 3 and the air test device 1 to pass through the adapter ring 2 in an orderly manner, avoiding cable clutter and improving the system's neatness and aesthetics. Stable cable connections and signal transmission help improve the stability of the entire image transmission data link system, reducing system failures caused by loose cables or signal interference.
[0033] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
