[0016] (3) Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This invention utilizes a series of buffer components arranged in a ring array on the surface of the first protective ring. When the edges of the two drone soccer balls collide, the rollers are impacted, causing the buffer frame to retract as a whole. During the extension and retraction of the buffer frame, the buffer springs are compressed as a whole, thereby achieving overall buffering of the edges of the protective balls. The rolling rollers can effectively dissipate force when they collide with the wall, reducing the degree of damage to the drone soccer balls when they collide.
[0019] This invention utilizes the cooperation between a positioning component on an extension plate and mounting holes in a fixing groove. A protruding plate on the extension plate is inserted into the mounting hole in the fixing groove. Rotating a knob causes a lead screw to rotate, creating a threaded engagement between the lead screw and the sleeve plate. This causes the sleeve plate to descend, pushing an ejector pin, which in turn moves the sleeve disc. As the sleeve disc moves, a return spring is compressed, thus achieving the overall installation of the drone body. This allows for convenient and quick disassembly and replacement of the protective ball or the drone body when needed. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.
[0027] This specific embodiment is a protective structure for a drone soccer ball, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective structure of the drone soccer ball includes a protective ball 1, which includes a first protective ring 2 and a second protective ring 4. A first insertion interface 3 is drilled through the first protective ring 2. Several first insertion interfaces 3 are arranged in a ring around the center of the first protective ring 2. The first insertion interfaces 3 penetrate the first protective ring 2 vertically. A second insertion interface 5 is drilled on the outer side of the second protective ring 4. A support rod 6 is inserted and installed at the first insertion interface 3 and the second insertion interface 5. Several second insertion interfaces 5 are arranged in a ring around the center of the second protective ring 4. The second protective ring 4 is circular. The protective ball 1 is spherical in shape. A protective cavity is opened inside the protective ball 1. An extension plate 9 is symmetrically protruding inside the protective cavity. The drone body 7 is installed between two extension plates 9. Fixing frames are installed on both sides of the drone body 7. Blades 71 are symmetrically rotated and installed on the fixing frames. Through the cooperation between the protective ball 1 and the drone body 7, the drone soccer ball body can be formed after the drone body 7 and the protective ball 1 are assembled.
[0028] The first protective ring 2 is provided with a buffer cavity. Several buffer cavities are arranged in a circular array with the center of the first protective ring 2 as the center. A buffer assembly 16 for auxiliary buffering is installed in the buffer cavity. The buffer assembly 16 includes a buffer frame 17 that is slidably arranged in the buffer cavity. A roller 18 is rotatably arranged on the buffer frame 17. A buffer spring 19 that is pushed by the auxiliary buffer frame 17 is installed in the buffer cavity.
[0029] By setting several buffer components 16 in a ring array on the surface of the first protective ring 2, when the edges of the two drone soccer balls collide, the rollers 18 are impacted, thereby causing the buffer frame 17 to retract as a whole. When the buffer frame 17 extends or retracts, it causes the buffer spring 19 to be compressed as a whole, thereby achieving overall buffering treatment of the edge of the protective ball 1. Through the rolling rollers 18, the rollers 18 can effectively dissipate force when colliding with the wall, reducing the degree of damage to the drone soccer balls when they collide.
[0030] An extension plate 9 is provided with a protruding plate, and a positioning component 10 is installed on the protruding plate. A fixing groove 8 is provided on the fixing bracket, and the fixing groove 8 is engaged with the protruding plate. The protruding plate is drilled with mounting holes for the positioning component 10. The positioning component 10 includes a plug post 101 fixed on the protruding plate and a knob 11 rotatably embedded in the protruding plate. A lead screw 12 is fixed at the bottom of the knob 11. A sliding groove is provided inside the plug post 101. A sleeve plate 13 is slidably disposed within the cavity. The bottom of the sleeve plate 13 is conical, and the cross-section of the sleeve plate 13 is rectangular. A lead screw 12 is installed through the sleeve plate 13, and the lead screw 12 and the sleeve plate 13 are threaded together. A sliding cavity is opened near the bottom of the insertion post 101. A sleeve disc 141 is slidably disposed within the sliding cavity. An ejector post 14 is installed through the sleeve disc 141. The ejector post 14 is oblong. A return spring 15 is installed within the sliding cavity to assist the sleeve disc 141 in pushing.
[0031] Through the cooperation between the positioning component 10 on the extension plate 9 and the mounting hole on the fixing groove 8, the protruding plate on the extension plate 9 is inserted into the mounting hole at the fixing groove 8. Rotating the knob 11 causes the lead screw 12 to rotate as a whole. The lead screw 12 is threadedly engaged with the sleeve plate 13, thereby causing the sleeve plate 13 to descend as a whole and push the ejector column 14. The ejector column 14 causes the sleeve plate 141 to move as a whole. When the sleeve plate 141 moves, it causes the return spring 15 to be compressed as a whole, thereby realizing the overall installation of the UAV body 7. When it is necessary to replace the UAV body 7 or the protective ball 1, it is convenient to quickly disassemble and replace the protective ball 1 and the UAV body 7.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] During installation, the protruding plate on the extension plate 9 is inserted into the mounting hole at the fixing slot 8. Rotating the knob 11 causes the lead screw 12 to rotate as a whole. The lead screw 12 is threadedly engaged with the sleeve plate 13, causing the sleeve plate 13 to descend as a whole. The sleeve plate 13 pushes the ejector column 14, which in turn moves the sleeve disc 141 as a whole. When the sleeve disc 141 moves, the return spring 15 is compressed as a whole, thus achieving the overall installation of the UAV body 7. The two ends of the support rod 6 are respectively inserted into the first insertion interface 3 on the first protective ring 2 and the second insertion interface 5 on the second protective ring 4, thus completing the overall installation of the support rod 6 and forming a spherical protective ball 1.
[0034] When the two drone soccer balls collide at their edges, the roller 18 is impacted, causing the buffer frame 17 to retract as a whole. When the buffer frame 17 extends or retracts, it causes the buffer spring 19 to be compressed as a whole, thereby achieving overall buffering of the edge of the ball 1. During the buffering process, the edge of the buffer frame 17 rubs against the sliding cavity, thereby assisting in the frictional consumption of the impact force.
[0035] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
