Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiber optic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, specifically a fiber optic guided UAV. Background Technology
[0002] Fiber optic drones are an innovative technology that combines fiber optic communication with drone technology. Using fiber optics as a high-speed, low-latency data transmission medium, they enable real-time transmission of high-definition video signals captured by the drone back to the ground control station. Simultaneously, they possess superior resistance to external electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal stability and accuracy in complex electromagnetic environments, allowing the drone's flight and data interaction to be less hampered by interference. In peacetime, they are primarily used for search and rescue operations in mountainous areas with poor signal coverage, while in wartime, they are widely deployed on the battlefield for combat use.
[0003] Currently, the fiber optic communication module of fiber optic drones mainly consists of an air-end module, a fiber optic output box, and a ground-end module. The air-end module and the fiber optic output box are mounted on the drone's main body. The fiber optic output box is used for fiber storage and cable routing during flight. Since the fiber optic output box is for single use only, it needs to be repeatedly replaced for multiple flights. Currently, the fiber optic output box is mainly fixed to the lower end of the drone with straps, which is cumbersome to operate during binding and unbinding, affecting the drone's operational efficiency. Furthermore, if the straps are not properly secured, the fiber optic output box is prone to loosening or falling off, resulting in low practicality.
[0004] To address this, we designed and developed a fiber-optic guided drone with a quick-install and detachable fiber optic output box. By installing an outer cover at the bottom of the drone frame to fix the fiber optic output box, we achieved quick installation and detachment of the fiber optic output box on the drone, effectively improving the drone's operational efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fiber-optic guided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A fiber optic guided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a main support plate with side support frames on both sides. The upper part of the main support plate is equipped with the UAV body, battery, and air-end module. The lower part of the main support plate is detachably equipped with a fiber optic output box. The UAV also includes a bottom mounting cover, one end of which is rotatably connected to the lower part of the main support plate, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the main support plate. The fiber optic output box is located in the bottom mounting cover.
[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: the lower end of the main support plate is rotatably connected to the bottom mounting cover via a hinge seat, and a fastening bolt penetrating the main support plate is rotatably provided on the other side of the main support plate. A corresponding connecting plate is fixedly provided on the upper end of the bottom mounting cover, and the fastening bolt penetrates the connecting plate and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: multiple symmetrical clamping blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the main support plate to press the fiber optic outlet box into the bottom mounting cover.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: top blocks are provided on both sides of the upper end of the bottom mounting cover.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model: openings are provided on both sides of the bottom mounting cover, and a guide opening is provided on the rear side wall of the bottom mounting cover for placing the cable head at the tail of the fiber optic cable outlet box.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This fiber optic drone features a movable base cover added to the bottom of a traditional fiber optic drone support. When the fiber optic output box needs to be assembled, simply tighten the fastening bolts, rotate downwards to open the base cover, place the fiber optic output box under the cover, and then tighten the bolts to secure the base cover to the bottom of the main support plate. This allows for quick assembly of the fiber optic output box. After a single flight mission, the base cover can be opened to quickly remove the fiber optic output box. This convenient assembly and disassembly effectively solves the problems of cumbersome operation and easy loosening when using straps to fix the fiber optic output box. The structural design is scientific and reasonable, and highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a fiber-optic guided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which includes a main support plate 1, side support frames 2 on both sides of the main support plate 1, a UAV body 3, a battery 4, and an air-end module 5 on the upper end of the main support plate 1, and a fiber optic output box 6 detachably installed on the lower end of the main support plate 1. It should be noted that the above structure and connection relationships are conventional and common structures for fiber-optic guided UAVs familiar to those skilled in the art. The UAV body 3, battery 4, air-end module 5, and fiber optic output box 6 can be obtained through customized purchase, and this application will not elaborate further.
[0021] In this application, since the fiber optic outlet box 6 is a disposable structure, a bottom mounting cover 7 is provided at the bottom of the main support plate 1 to facilitate quick assembly and disassembly of the fiber optic outlet box 6. Specifically, one end of the bottom mounting cover 7 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the main support plate 1, such as... Figure 2-3 As shown, preferably, one side of the lower end of the main support plate 1 is rotatably connected to the bottom mounting cover 7 via a hinge seat 12. The other end of the bottom mounting cover 7 is detachably connected to the main support plate 1, such as... Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a fastening bolt 10 is rotatably provided on the other side of the main support plate 1, penetrating the main support plate 1. A corresponding connecting plate 13 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the bottom mounting cover 7. The fastening bolt 10 penetrates the connecting plate 13 and is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 13. It should be noted that the detachable connection between the bottom mounting cover 7 and the main support plate 1 achieved by the cooperation of the fastening bolt 10 and the connecting plate 13 is a conventional connection method familiar to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art can also use other conventional connection structures as conventional replacements for the fastening bolt 10 and the connecting plate 13 described in this application, such as using a snap-fit structure, which is a conventional choice and will not be described or limited in this application.
[0022] It should be noted that the number and position design of the fastening bolts 10 and the connecting plate 13 should be a conventional design familiar to those skilled in the art, and this application will not elaborate further on the limitation; preferably, in this application, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, there are two fastening bolts 10 and two connecting plates 13 symmetrically arranged to ensure the stability of the bottom mounting cover 13 after it is fixed; at the same time, the hinge seat 12 is also a conventional structure. In this application, there are preferably two hinge seats 12.
[0023] Meanwhile, it should be noted that since the movement trajectory of the bottom mounting cover 7 is arc-shaped when it moves, as is common sense, those skilled in the art should be able to consider that the movement of the bottom mounting cover 7 should not affect the connection between the connecting plate 13 and the fastening bolt 10. Therefore, the connecting plate 13 should have a certain degree of plasticity and can be made of rubber or plastic with a certain degree of softness so that it can produce a certain deformation when connected with the fastening bolt 10 to meet the connection conditions. The material selection should be a conventional choice familiar to those skilled in the art, and this application will not elaborate on the limitation.
[0024] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the fiber optic outlet box 6, which is commonly used on fiber optic drones, is cylindrical in shape and has an outlet head 9 at its tail for leading out the fiber optic cable. Therefore, as a conventional design familiar to those skilled in the art, the shape of the bottom mounting cover 7 should correspond to the shape of the fiber optic outlet box 6 so that the fiber optic outlet box 6 can be placed in the bottom mounting cover 7.
[0025] In addition, to ensure the stability of the fiber optic outlet box 6 within the bottom mounting cover 7 and to prevent significant shaking that could affect the fiber optic cable output, such as... Figure 3 As shown, multiple symmetrical clamping blocks 11 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the main support plate 1 to press the fiber optic outlet box 6 tightly into the bottom mounting cover 7.
[0026] At the same time, combined Figure 4 As shown, when the bottom mounting cover 7 is fixed to the bottom of the main support plate 1 by the fastening bolts 10, since the fastening bolts 10 only exert force on one side of the bottom mounting cover 7, in order to ensure that the bottom mounting cover 7 can be in a stable horizontal state after being fixed, top blocks 15 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the bottom mounting cover 7. As a conventional choice, multiple top blocks 15 are designed. The top blocks 15 can be made of hard material or rubber blocks with a certain degree of elasticity to ensure that the force in the middle of the bottom mounting cover 7 is uniform and to ensure the stability of the internal fiber optic outlet box 6 after installation. The design is scientific and reasonable.
[0027] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4As shown, in practical applications, considering that the front end of the fiber optic outlet box 6 also needs to be connected to the empty end module 5 through a wire, openings 14 are provided on both sides of the bottom mounting cover 7. The size, shape and number of openings 14 are not described in detail in this application, as long as the wire can be properly installed. At the same time, a guide opening 8 is provided on the rear side wall of the bottom mounting cover 7 for placing the outlet head 9 at the tail of the fiber optic outlet box 6.
[0028] In practical applications, such as Figure 4 As shown, tighten the fastening bolt 10 to separate the connecting plate 13 from the fastening bolt 10, rotate downwards to open the bottom mounting cover 7, place the fiber optic outlet box 6 into the bottom mounting cover 7, so that the outlet 9 is located in the guide port 8, then rotate upwards to close the bottom mounting cover 7. When the connecting plate 13 is close to the fastening bolt 10, rotate the fastening bolt 10 to make it threadedly connected to the connecting plate 13, thereby fixing the connecting plate 13 and thus fixing the bottom mounting cover 7. Then connect the empty end module 5 to the front end of the fiber optic outlet box 6 through the wire. At this time, the upper end of the fiber optic outlet box 6 is in tight contact with the clamping block 11 and is stably pressed into the bottom mounting cover 7. When it is necessary to disassemble the fiber optic outlet box 6, simply tighten the fastening bolt 10, open the bottom mounting cover 7, and the fiber optic outlet box 6 can be taken out. The operation is convenient and quick.
[0029] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific and clear descriptions of the technical solutions and features of this application. Solutions or features that are prior art or common knowledge to those skilled in the art will not be described in detail in the above embodiments.
[0030] Furthermore, the technical solutions of this application are not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
