DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A quick release pipe clamp for unmanned aerial vehicle arm carbon pipe and main beam (also the front aluminum alloy part of the whole arm), comprising a quick release pipe clamp body 100, the quick release pipe clamp body 100 comprises an adapter pipe 101 and a carbon pipe clamping pipe 104, the outer wall of the opposite part of the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 is provided with external thread 103, and when the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 are connected, the external thread 103 of the two is connected, the external thread of the opposite part of the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 is connected with the internal thread locking sleeve 105, the internal thread locking sleeve 105 can be rotated to the end of the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104, that is, the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 are separated and combined by rotating the internal thread locking sleeve 105, the end of the arm carbon pipe is inserted into the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104, one end of the adapter pipe 101 relative to the main beam is fixed with an end plate 102, a threading hole is formed in the end plate 102, and the power supply line of the arm end propeller is inserted into the quick release pipe clamp body 100 from the end plate 102.
[0026] Through the above, when the unmanned aerial vehicle does not work, the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 are separated by rotating the internal thread locking sleeve 105, that is, the arm is disassembled from the main beam of the unmanned aerial vehicle, if the arm is divided into an aluminum alloy front part and a carbon pipe, the carbon pipe is disassembled from the aluminum alloy front part, and the whole arm is divided into two parts.
[0027] In order to remove the carbon tube from the quick release tube clamp body 100, a screw hole 106 is formed on the outer wall of the carbon tube clamp tube 104, and when the end of the carbon tube is inserted into the carbon tube clamp tube 104, the screw is screwed into the screw hole 106. The outer wall of the carbon tube clamp tube 104 is provided with two opposite shrinkage seams 108 from the end to the other end, and the end of the carbon tube clamp tube 104 is externally sleeved with a locking hoop 107. The two ends of the locking hoop 107 are locked by a screw, that is, the carbon tube clamp tube 104 and the carbon tube are movably inserted and connected. After insertion, the screw and the carbon tube clamp tube 104 are locked. When the carbon tube needs to be removed, the carbon tube clamp tube 104 and the screw only need to be loosened.
[0028] The outer part of the part of the adapter tube 101 close to the end plate 102 is sleeved with a positioning hoop 109, which is used to limit the excessive forward movement of the internally threaded locking sleeve 105 on the adapter tube 101. The two ends of the positioning hoop 109 are provided with threaded holes, and the two ends are locked by a threaded rod 111 and a nut. The positioning hoop 109 limits the maximum movement range of the internally threaded locking sleeve 105 on the adapter tube 101, preventing the internally threaded locking sleeve 105 from being separated from the carbon tube clamp tube 104.
[0029] Based on the above, although the carbon tube can be removed, it will be separated from the unmanned aerial vehicle body, that is, it needs to be placed separately. Therefore, the two ends of the positioning hoop 109 have a sleeve 116, the threaded rod 111 passes through the sleeve 116, the outer wall of the sleeve 116 is connected with a special-shaped arm 112, the special-shaped arm 112 is connected with a straight arm 113, the straight arm 113 is connected with the carbon tube clamp tube 104, and the positioning hoop 109, the sleeve 116, the straight arm 113 and the threaded rod 111 form a hinge. The hinge is connected between the carbon tube clamp tube 104 and the adapter tube 101, that is, the carbon tube can be hung, and since the unmanned aerial vehicle has a supporting part, it has a certain height, and the height space is used to accommodate the carbon tube.
[0030] In order to prevent the above-mentioned hinge structure from hindering the internally threaded locking sleeve 105, the bottom of the adapter tube 101 is provided with an accommodation groove 114, which is used to accommodate the straight arm 113. The end of the straight arm 113 is connected with the carbon tube clamp tube 104. When the internally threaded locking sleeve 105 locks the adapter tube 101 and the carbon tube clamp tube 104, the straight arm 113 is in the accommodation groove 114, the special-shaped arm 112 is in a vertical state and has an S shape, and the special-shaped arm 112 is close to the positioning hoop 109, which does not hinder the internally threaded locking sleeve 105.
[0031] Based on the above, the bottom of the straight arm 113 is arc-shaped, and the accommodation groove 114 is also arc-shaped. When the straight arm 113 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 114, the straight arm 113 fills the adapter tube 101 to be complete, so that the rotation of the internally threaded locking sleeve 105 is more smooth.
[0032] In addition, the inner part of the adapter pipe 101 and the carbon pipe clamping pipe 104 are both provided with a partition plate 115, so as to divide the inner cavity of the two into two parts, that is, to separate the two power supply lines.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it is to be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
