Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a drone, and more particularly to a drone with a fast docking arm. Background Technology
[0002] A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, is an unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and its own program control device. It can fly under the direct control of a human operator or autonomously according to pre-programmed missions. Drone technology has developed rapidly in recent years and has a wide range of applications, including military, civilian, and scientific research and education.
[0003] To facilitate portability, existing drones typically have their arms and fuselage separated and stored in specialized protective cases. However, in actual use, this design requires the operator to retrieve the drone upon arrival at the designated location and reconnect the arms and fuselage with bolts. This process not only requires additional tools but is also cumbersome. If bolts are lost, it can lead to delays in reassembly, severely impacting the drone's user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing drone designs that typically separate the arms and fuselage and store them in protective cases for easy portability, which requires bolts and tools for on-site assembly, making the process cumbersome, and making timely assembly impossible if bolts are lost, thus seriously affecting operational efficiency and user experience, this utility model provides a drone that can quickly connect its arms.
[0005] Technical solution: A drone with a quick-connection arm includes a fuselage, insert blocks, an arm, a propeller, and a fixing mechanism. Insert blocks are arranged around the fuselage, and the arm is inserted into the fuselage through the insert blocks. A fixing mechanism is arranged on one side of the top of the arm, and the fixing mechanism passes through the arm and is snapped into the top of the insert blocks to fix the arm. A propeller is arranged on the side of the top of the arm away from the fixing mechanism.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixing mechanism includes a pin and a second spring. The pin is slidably disposed on one side of the top of the arm, and the second spring is disposed between the pin and the arm, and the second spring is fitted onto the pin.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a push plate and a first spring are also included. The push plate is slidably arranged on the side of the insert block away from the machine body, and the first spring is symmetrically arranged between the push plate and the insert block.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the device further includes a guide rod, a slide rod, a wedge block, and a third spring. Guide rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the machine body, and slide rods are slidably arranged on each of the symmetrical guide rods. Wedge blocks are arranged at both ends of the slide rods, and the wedge blocks are located on the side of the pin. A third spring is arranged between the slide rod and the guide rod, and the third spring is fitted onto the slide rod.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a nameplate is also included, with nameplates provided on each of the machine arms.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a soft pad is also included, with soft pads provided at the bottom of the machine arm.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: the machine arm is aligned with the plug blocks around the machine body, the plug blocks are inserted into the machine arm, and the machine arm is effectively fixed by inserting the pin into the locking hole at the top of the plug block, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the machine arm. At the same time, by pushing the slide rod, the slide rod moves along the guide rod and drives the wedge block to push the pin. The pin moves upward along the inclined surface of the wedge block and disengages from the locking hole on the plug block, and the machine arm is released from the limit. At the same time, the compressed first spring pushes the machine arm outward to disengage from the plug block, thereby achieving the rapid disassembly of the machine arm. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0024] Example: A drone with a rapid docking arm, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the assembly includes a fuselage 1, insert blocks 101, an arm 2, a propeller 201, a push plate 3, a first spring 4, a pin 5, a second spring 6, a guide rod 7, a slide rod 8, a wedge block 9, a third spring 10, a nameplate 11, and a soft pad 12. Insert blocks 101 are provided at each of the four corners of the fuselage 1, and each insert block 101 has a hole at its top. An insert hole of the same size as the insert block 101 is provided on one side of the arm 2. The insert hole on the side of the arm 2 is connected to the insert blocks 101 located around the fuselage 1. 01 is snapped into the socket and fixed to the body 1. A propeller 201 is provided on the top of the arm 2 away from the fixing mechanism. A pin 5 is slidably provided on the top of the arm 2 away from the propeller 201. The pin 5 passes through the top of the arm 2 and is limited to the socket on the side of the arm 2. At the same time, the pin 5 is inserted into the snap hole on the top of the plug block 101 to limit and fix the arm 2. A second spring 6 is provided between the pin 5 and the arm 2, and the second spring 6 is fitted into the plug block 101. On pin 5, a push plate 3 is slidably provided on the outer side of the insertion block 101. Two guide rods are symmetrically provided at the rear end of the push plate 3 and are slidably connected to the insertion block 101. A first spring 4 is symmetrically provided between the push plate 3 and the insertion block 101, and the symmetrical first spring 4 is respectively fitted on the symmetrical guide rods at the rear end of the push plate 3. Guide rods 7 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the machine body 1. Slide rods 8 are slidably provided on the symmetrical guide rods 7. Wedge blocks 9 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the slide rods 8. The front wedge block 9 is located at the rear of the insertion pin 5 on the front end of the machine arm 2, and the rear wedge block 9 is located at the front of the insertion pin 5 on the rear end of the machine arm 2. The height of the inclined surface of the wedge block 9 is exactly the same as the height at which the insertion pin 5 is disengaged from the top locking hole of the insertion block 101. A third spring 10 is provided between the front and rear ends of the slide rod 8 and the guide rod 7, and the third spring 10 is fitted on the slide rod 8. A nameplate 11 is provided on each machine arm 2, and a soft pad 12 is provided at the bottom of each machine arm 2.
[0025] When the drone needs to be used, the operator first takes the drone's arms 2 and fuselage 1 out of the storage box. Then, the operator installs the arms 2 according to the label 11 on them. The operator aligns the inside of the arms 2 with the four corner inserts 101 on the fuselage 1 and inserts the arms 2 into the inserts 101. During insertion, the inserts 101 first press upwards against the pin 5 at the top of the arms 2. The pin 5 then moves upwards and simultaneously compresses the second spring 6. When the inserts 101 are fully inserted into the arms 2, the pin 5 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the second spring 6 and inserts into the locking hole at the top of the inserts 101, effectively securing the arms 2. Simultaneously, the arm 2 pushes the push plate 3 backward and compresses the first spring 4, allowing the drone to be operated. When the drone needs to be disassembled, the slide bar 8 is pushed back and forth first. The slide bar 8 slides along the guide rod 7 and compresses the third spring 10. At the same time, the wedge block 9 at the front end of the slide bar 8 presses the top of the pin 5. At this time, the pin 5 moves upward along the inclined surface of the wedge block 9, compresses the second spring 6, and disengages from the locking hole at the top of the plug 101. This releases the restriction on the arm 2. At the same time, the push plate 3 resets under the elastic force of the first spring 4 and pushes the arm 2 outward and disengages from the plug 101, thus achieving rapid installation and disassembly of the arm 2.
[0026] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
