Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire protection technology, and in particular to a multi-functional equipment frame for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology
[0002] In the field of fire and emergency rescue, drones, with their advantages of rapid response, flexibility, and lack of terrain limitations, have gradually become important tools for fire reconnaissance, material delivery, and communication relay. However, existing fire-fighting drone equipment generally suffers from limited functionality and poor adaptability, which severely restricts their effectiveness in complex fire-fighting and rescue missions.
[0003] Traditional firefighting drones typically use fixed frames designed for a single function. For example, drones that deliver fire extinguishing bombs use rigid welded frames, making them incompatible with thermal imaging reconnaissance equipment. Drones carrying fire hoses, on the other hand, struggle to quickly switch to supply transport mode. When the fire situation changes and the mission type needs adjustment, it often requires replacing the entire drone or returning it for modification, significantly delaying crucial rescue time. Furthermore, the harsh firefighting environment often requires the frame to simultaneously support multiple mission modules such as water cannons, breaching tools, and emergency lighting. However, existing frame designs often rely on welding or bolted assembly, making disassembly and assembly inconvenient and unable to quickly respond to multi-scenario mission switching needs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a modular, quickly detachable, multi-functional equipment frame to improve the mission adaptability and deployment efficiency of drones.
[0004] Patent "A Drone Mounting Mechanism" (application number CN202320550949.3, hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1) discloses a drone mounting mechanism. Prior Art 1's drone mounting mechanism has the following technical advantages: it allows for flexible adjustment of the position and angle of mounted items through a mounting adjustment mechanism and a camera adjustment structure, enabling rapid adaptation to different equipment and improving mounting flexibility. However, Prior Art 1 can only mount some small devices, and its mounting structure is relatively complex, making it inconvenient for rapid assembly and disassembly and adaptation to various firefighting operation modules. Especially in emergency rescue scenarios, firefighters often need to complete the configuration and switching of drone equipment in a very short time, and the mounting mechanism of Prior Art 1 may not meet this demand for efficiency and flexibility.

[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a multi-functional equipment frame for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In traditional UAV designs, the frames typically employ a fixed shape and structure, meaning they can only be configured to perform specific functions or tasks. Due to this lack of flexibility, these UAVs often fall short when faced with diverse mission requirements necessitating different configurations or functional combinations. They cannot easily adapt or adjust to meet the ever-changing application scenarios, thus limiting their wide application in various fields. Therefore, this embodiment provides a multi-functional frame that can be disassembled and reassembled.
[0035] Please see Figure 1In this embodiment, the multi-functional equipment frame for a drone includes: a first support 110 and a second support 120 arranged symmetrically, with the first support 110 and the second support 120 spaced apart to form an installation position 130; a connecting frame for connecting the first support 110 and the second support 120, and detachably connected to the first support 110 and the second support 120; wherein the first support 110 and / or the second support 120 are further provided with a detachably connected first connector 310, which is used to connect the working component 400.
[0036] In use, the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 serve as a base, and connecting brackets are added to the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120, allowing users to disassemble and reassemble according to actual needs, so that different types of working parts can be easily connected to the rack without a complicated installation process.
[0037] This design not only simplifies the drone assembly process but also enhances its versatility, enabling the drone to quickly adapt to different mission requirements. Users simply need to select and connect the appropriate working component 400 as needed to achieve functional conversion of the drone, thereby meeting diverse application scenarios.
[0038] Further, please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first support 110 includes a first support rod 111 and a second support rod 112; the two ends of the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112 are respectively connected by a first connecting rod 114 and a second connecting rod 115.
[0039] A third connecting rod 116 is provided between the first connecting rod 114 and the second connecting rod 115 on the first bracket 110, connecting the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112; the first connecting member 310 is disposed on the first connecting rod 114 and / or the third connecting rod 116. The first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 have the same structural configuration.
[0040] This design enhances the structural stability of the first support 110 and the second support 120, making the frame more robust and reliable when supporting the working component 400. Simultaneously, the cooperation of the first support rod 111, the second support rod 112, the first connecting rod 114, the second connecting rod 115, and the third connecting rod 116 allows for greater flexibility in the shape of the first support 110 and the second support 120, accommodating a wider range of working components 400 with different shapes and sizes, further improving the versatility and adaptability of the UAV. Furthermore, this structural design facilitates the disassembly and reassembly of the frame, simplifying maintenance and replacement of the working component 400, and reducing operating costs.
[0041] For preferred options, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The connecting frame is configured as one or more of the following: fourth connecting rod 210, drone, mounting mechanism 230, and base frame 240.
[0042] In use, users can choose to assemble the connecting frame as one or more of the fourth connecting rod 210, drone, mounting mechanism 230 or base frame 240 according to actual work needs to achieve different functions and effects.
[0043] For example, when it is necessary to mount the drone to other equipment or platforms, the connecting frame can be configured as a mounting mechanism 230. This mechanism connects the drone to other equipment or platforms, enabling rapid installation and removal of the drone. When enhanced stability and load-bearing capacity are required, the connecting frame can be configured as a fourth connecting rod 210. This fourth connecting rod 210 more firmly connects the first support 110 and the second support 120, improving the overall structural strength and stability of the frame. This flexible and diverse assembly method makes the frame more widely applicable and more practical in real-world applications.
[0044] Preferably, the connecting frame is a drone, and the top of the first support rod 111 and the second support rod 112 are both provided with a connector 113 that can be detachably connected to the drone; the drone connects the first support 110 and the second support 120 to the first support 110 and the second support 120 through the connector 113 provided on the top of the first support 110 and the second support 120.
[0045] When using drones as connecting frames, the drone's flight capabilities and flexibility can be fully utilized to achieve rapid movement and positioning of the frame. Through its built-in flight control system, the drone can precisely control the frame's position and attitude in space, enabling it to quickly reach the designated work area. Simultaneously, the drone, as a connecting frame, can also carry a certain load and, by attaching or carrying other equipment or tools, achieve various operational functions, such as aerial photography, environmental monitoring, and logistics transportation. This design, utilizing drones as connecting frames, not only improves the frame's mobility and flexibility but also significantly expands its application range and operational capabilities.
[0046] Preferably, please refer to Figure 3 The connecting frame is a mounting mechanism 230, which is detachably connected to the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 via the first connecting member 310 disposed on the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120.
[0047] When using the mounting mechanism 230 as a connecting frame, different types of fire extinguishing bombs can be mounted on it, enabling the frame to respond quickly and extinguish fires of various types. The mounting mechanism 230 is flexible in design, allowing for adjustments to the mounting position and quantity to adapt to different scales and types of fires. Furthermore, the mounting mechanism 230 features quick disassembly and replacement, making the replacement and replenishment of fire extinguishing bombs more convenient and efficient. This design, utilizing the mounting mechanism 230 as a connecting frame, not only improves the frame's fire extinguishing efficiency and flexibility but also provides a more diverse and efficient solution for fire emergency response.
[0048] At the same time, it can also be transported by drone to its mounting mechanism 230, allowing it to enter fire-fighting areas that are difficult to reach.
[0049] Preferably, please refer to Figure 3 The connecting frame is a base frame 240, and the base frame 240 is detachably connected to the first support 110 and the second support 120 through a second connecting member 320 disposed on the first support 110 and the second support 120.
[0050] The base frame 240 increases the height of the first support 110 and the second support 120, allowing for the placement of larger fire extinguishing bombs between them. This ensures the fire extinguishing bombs maintain a certain distance from the ground, making firefighting operations more efficient and safer. The base frame 240 is designed to be robust and reliable, capable of withstanding the weight of the fire extinguishing bombs and ensuring no shaking or tilting occurs during firefighting. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the base frame 240 and the first and second supports 110 and 120 facilitates replacement and maintenance of the base frame 240. This design, utilizing the base frame 240 as a connecting frame, not only expands the applicability of the frame but also provides a more effective solution for emergency response to large fires. In addition, the height of the base frame 240 can be adjusted according to actual needs to accommodate firefighting requirements at different heights and angles.
[0051] Further, please see Figure 4 The first connector 310 includes a first connecting portion 311 and a second connecting portion 312; a mounting groove 313 adapted to the first connecting rod 114 or the third connecting rod 116 is provided between the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 312; the first connecting portion 311 and the second connecting portion 312 are disposed on the first connecting rod 114 or the third connecting rod 116 through the mounting groove 313 and then fixed to the first connecting rod 114 or the third connecting rod 116 by bolts; and the second connecting portion 312 is also provided with a third connecting portion 314, which is used to install the third connector 330.
[0052] In use, the first connecting part 311 and the second connecting part 312 are disposed on the first bracket 110 and / or the second bracket 120, and the first bracket 110 and / or the second bracket 120 are wrapped around by the mounting groove 313. Then, the first connecting part 311 and the second connecting part 312 are fastened with bolts, so that the component to be installed can be installed on the first connecting part 311 and / or the second connecting part 312. This enables quick installation and disassembly of various components.
[0053] The inclusion of the third connecting part 314 facilitates the installation of the third connecting member 330, further enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the frame. The third connecting member 330 can be a component for connecting other auxiliary equipment or tools, such as water pipes or electrical wires, thus meeting various needs in firefighting operations. Furthermore, the design of the mounting groove 313 allows the first connecting part 311 and the second connecting part 312 to fit tightly against the first connecting rod 114 or the third connecting rod 116, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection after bolt fixing. This design not only simplifies the installation process but also improves the overall strength and durability of the frame, providing a strong guarantee for efficient and safe firefighting operations.
[0054] Further, please see Figure 5 The second connecting member 320 includes a first mounting portion 321 and a second mounting portion 324 that are hinged together; a mounting cavity 325 for connecting the second connecting rod 115 is provided between the first mounting portion 321 and the second mounting portion 324; a hinged fastening pin 322 is provided on the first mounting portion 321, and a fastening block 323 is threadedly connected to the fastening pin 322. The second connecting member 320 is mainly used for mounting the base frame 240.
[0055] In use, the mounting cavity 325 between the first mounting part 321 and the second mounting part 324 is wrapped around the bottom of the first bracket 110 and / or the second bracket 120. After installation, it is tightened by the fastening block 323 on the fastening pin 322, so that the second connecting piece 320 is tightly connected with the first bracket 110 and / or the second bracket 120, ensuring that the base frame 240 is stably installed. Then, the base frame 240 to be installed is installed to the bottom of the second connecting piece 320 to achieve quick installation and disassembly of the base frame 240. This hinged design not only improves the flexibility of installation, but also allows the base frame 240 to be adjusted according to actual needs, enhancing the adaptability and stability of the frame.
[0056] Further, please see Figure 6The third connector 330 includes a mounting rib 331 and a first clamping block 332 and a second clamping block 333 disposed on the mounting rib 331; a clamping groove 334 is formed between the first clamping block 332 and the second clamping block 333; the mounting rib 331 is also provided with a pin hole for mounting a locking pin 335. The third connector 330 is mainly used for mounting the working part 400 and / or the connecting frame.
[0057] The third connector 330 can be used on the first connecting rod 114, the second connecting rod 115 and the third connecting rod 116 on the first bracket 110. The third connector 330 needs to be installed through the first connector 310 as a medium. During installation, the two ends of the mounting rib 331 of the third connector 330 are fastened to a pair of first connectors 310 respectively through at least one pair of first connectors 310.
[0058] In use, the working part 400 is snapped into the clamping groove 334 and tightened with bolts; then the working part 400 is connected or abutted by the locking pin 335 in the pin hole to complete the installation.
