Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to an injection molded part for UAV centering and positioning, accurate UAV position in the nest, and stable charging. Background Technology
[0002] Injection-molded parts for drone centering, accurate positioning in the drone nest, and stable charging refer to plastic structural components manufactured using injection molding specifically for drone parking, centering, and stable charging. These injection-molded parts are typically integrated into the drone nest or charging platform to address the stability and reliability issues of drones during automatic landing, centering adjustment, precise positioning, and charging. Existing drone arms generally use dispensing technology to combine horizontal and vertical tubes. However, this one-piece structure, with its hollowed-out carbon fiber rods, suffers from adhesive residue affecting appearance and prone to detachment. Furthermore, the injection molding process involves undercutting, making it difficult to remove the product smoothly from the mold. In actual use, the dispensing area is prone to loosening during drone centering due to the force couple, leading to component failure and impacting drone efficiency and stability. Utility Model Content

[0005] An injection molded part for homing and positioning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and for ensuring accurate positioning and charging stability of UAVs in their nests includes a vertical tube, a horizontal tube at the top of the vertical tube, a tee at the connection between the vertical tube and the horizontal tube, an insert inside the tee, and first nuts on both sides of the insert.
[0006] The interior of the vertical tube is provided with an injection-molded body that connects with the surface of the horizontal tube.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The injection molded part body has arc-shaped grooves on both sides that contact the surface of the horizontal tube, and the surface of the injection molded part body has holes and grooves.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The surface of the injection molded part is connected to a strip plate, and one end of the vertical tube is symmetrically provided with U-shaped grooves.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] A second nut is provided on the surface of the vertical tube.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The horizontal tube is provided with end plugs at both ends, and a shock-absorbing hard ring and a shock-absorbing rubber ring are provided on one side of the end plug.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] In this invention, by replacing the dispensing method at the splicing points of the robotic arms with injection molding, the stability of the components is improved, the risk of loosening is reduced, and the new injection-molded parts are less prone to deformation during centering, preventing loosening and facilitating product removal. Furthermore, the assembly of the injection-molded parts with the horizontal and vertical tubes ensures the stability of the drone during charging and other operations. Attached Figure Description
