DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings, and it is necessary to point out that the following specific embodiment is only used to further illustrate the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present application, and the skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application according to the above application content.
[0032] Example:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle-flying vehicle connection device, including a vehicle body 1 and a flying vehicle body 2. The specific structure and working principle of the vehicle body 1 and the flying vehicle body 2 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. It also includes a connecting frame 3 set at the bottom of the flying vehicle body 2. The bottom of the connecting frame 3 is provided with multiple sets of positioning balls 5. An installation frame 8 is fixedly set on the vehicle body 1. An installation plate 7 is set at the bottom of the installation frame 8. Multiple sets of bucket-shaped guide cylinders 9 are set on the installation frame 8. An arc-shaped shell 10 is set at the bottom of the guide cylinder 9.
[0034] When ground travel is required, the aircraft body 2 can be separated from the carriage body 1. When flight is required, the aircraft body 2 can be installed. During installation, the aircraft body 2 is controlled to fly above the carriage body 1 and then moved downwards. Generally, the position of the aircraft body 2 will be slightly offset from the carriage body 1. During the downward movement of the aircraft body 2, the positioning ball 5 can contact the bucket-shaped guide tube 9, which guides the position of the positioning ball 5 until it moves into the arc-shaped shell 10, thus positioning the aircraft body 2. In some embodiments, it can be understood that the bottom of the connecting frame 3 is provided with multiple sets of spherical shells 4, and the positioning ball 5 is rotatably disposed within the spherical shell 4 along its center. By rotatably disposing the positioning ball 5, the friction between the positioning ball 5 and the guide tube 9 can be reduced, reducing wear and tear and thus improving the service life of the connecting device.
[0035] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a locking mechanism is provided on the mounting frame 8. The locking mechanism locks the position of the connecting frame 3 after multiple sets of positioning balls 5 are engaged within the arc-shaped shell 10. The locking mechanism includes a connecting frame 6 located at the bottom of the connecting frame 3, and a mounting frame 12 is provided on the mounting frame 8. The position of the mounting frame 12 is aligned with the connecting frame 6. After the positioning balls 5 are engaged within the arc-shaped shell 10, the connecting frame 6 can be engaged within the mounting frame 12.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 4As shown in the embodiment, the locking mechanism further comprises a locking rod 13 slidingly arranged in the mounting frame 12, and a driving assembly connected with the locking rod 13 is arranged in the mounting frame 8, and the locking rod 13 is driven to slide by the driving assembly. The driving assembly comprises a driving motor 19 arranged on the mounting plate 7, an output shaft of the driving motor 19 is provided with a worm 18, the locking rod 13 is provided with a sliding frame 14, and a driving disc 15 rotatable is arranged in the mounting frame 8, the driving disc 15 is eccentrically provided with a driving column 16, the driving column 16 is slidingly clamped in the sliding frame 14, and the driving disc 15 is provided with a worm wheel 17, and the worm wheel 17 is engaged with the worm 18.
[0037] When the connecting frame 6 is clamped in the mounting frame 12, the driving motor 19 is controlled to start to drive the worm 18 to rotate, the worm 18 drives the driving disc 15 to rotate by engaging with the worm wheel 17 in the rotating process, the driving disc 15 can drive the locking rod 13 to slide by the cooperation of the driving column 16 and the sliding frame 14 in the rotating process, until the locking rod 13 is clamped into the connecting frame 6, so that the position of the connecting frame 3 is fixed, and the aircraft body 2 is fixed above the carriage body 1.
[0038] As Figure 3 , 4 As shown in the embodiment, the bottom of each group of the curved surface shell 10 is provided with a through hole 11, a plurality of control switches 20 extending into the through hole 11 are arranged on the mounting plate 7, a plurality of indicator lights 21 are arranged on the outer side of the mounting frame 8, and the plurality of indicator lights 21 are electrically connected with the plurality of control switches 20. During the positioning of the aircraft body 2, when the positioning ball 5 moves into the curved surface shell 10, the positioning ball 5 can abut against the control switch 20, so that the corresponding one group of indicator lights 21 is turned on, and when all the plurality of indicator lights 21 are turned on, it means that the aircraft body 2 moves to the specified position, and the driving motor 19 can be controlled to start, so that when the installation position of the aircraft body 2 deviates, the locking rod 13 cannot be clamped into the connecting frame 6, and the reliability of the connecting device in use is improved.
[0039] The specific use mode and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0040] When the aircraft body 2 needs to be installed, the aircraft body 2 can be moved onto the carriage body 1 by controlling the flight of the aircraft body 2, thereby facilitating the installation of the aircraft body 2. During the installation, the aircraft body 2 is controlled to move downward, so that the positioning balls 5 are in contact with the guide cylinders 9, and the aircraft body 2 is continuously controlled to move downward. The positions of the positioning balls 5 are guided by the guide cylinders 9, until the multiple sets of positioning balls 5 gradually move into the arc shell 10. The aircraft body 2 can be automatically calibrated during the installation of the aircraft body 2. Then, the position of the connecting frame 3 is locked by the locking mechanism to quickly complete the installation. Even if the position of the aircraft body 2 deviates, the aircraft body 2 can be accurately installed at the specified position. The position of the aircraft body 2 does not need to be adjusted by a person in the later period. The convenience of the aircraft body 2 during the installation is effectively improved.

It is obvious for those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the present application.
