[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The extension connecting device of the express unmanned aerial vehicle shown in the figure, comprising:
[0029] The unmanned aerial vehicle; the unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a network distribution machine body 1, the network distribution machine body 1 is provided with a built-in system module 2, the network distribution machine body 1 is detachably connected with a bridge 3, the bridge 3 is provided with a plurality of mounting stations, and one of the mounting stations is fixedly connected with a driving device 4.
[0030] The network distribution machine body is the core component of the unmanned aerial vehicle system, and is provided with necessary control system and power system. The machine body can complete the management and control of the functions such as operation, navigation and communication of the unmanned aerial vehicle through the built-in system module 2. The built-in system module 2 is also responsible for the power management, data acquisition and processing of the unmanned aerial vehicle, ensuring the stable operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, which is not described in detail.

These stations are used to install and deploy different equipment or task tools, thereby supporting the needs of the unmanned aerial vehicle in different environments or tasks. The design flexibility of the bridge 3 enables the unmanned aerial vehicle to adapt to various application scenarios and perform customized tasks.
[0032] The design of the bridge 3 enables the unmanned aerial vehicle system to flexibly adapt to various tasks, and users can replace or install different equipment according to actual needs, thereby improving the task execution capability of the system. The network distribution machine body 1 and the bridge 3 are detachably connected, which facilitates users to replace or maintain the components according to task requirements. The built-in system module 2 ensures the simplicity of operation, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle system can be quickly put into work.
[0033] The built-in system module 2 can intelligently control the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the functions of the equipment, and the like, automatically adjust the flight path, the task progress, and the cooperation with other equipment, and improve the task efficiency and accuracy.
[0034] The landing gear mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and has two states. In the first state, the landing gear mechanism is used to support the unmanned aerial vehicle, and in the second state, the landing gear mechanism is used to hang the distribution box 12.
[0035] The landing gear mechanism includes four landing gears 5, which are arranged in a length direction two as a group and in a splayed manner in the length direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The landing gears are arranged in a splayed manner in the length direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle, ensuring stability and balance. The landing gears 5 are arranged in a splayed manner, ensuring that the unmanned aerial vehicle has a larger supporting surface when landing, increasing stability and preventing tilting or overturning. Each group of landing gears 5 is provided with a cross beam 6, and the middle of the cross beam 6 is provided with a foot piece 7. The foot piece 7 and the fixed piece 8 in the non-hanging state are both round sleeves, serving as supporting components and directly supporting the weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The cross beam 6 is provided with a fixed piece 8 at both ends. Specifically, the cross beam 6 is provided with an electric push rod at both ends, and the movable end of the electric push rod is provided with a fixed piece 8. Adjacent two fixed pieces 8 are fixedly connected with mounting support plates 9. The two mounting support plates 9 are close to or away from each other, and are used to grab or separate the hanging lock piece.
[0036] In the first state, when the unmanned aerial vehicle is in a landing or supporting state, the four landing gears 5 are distributed at the bottom of the unmanned aerial vehicle, arranged in a splayed manner in the length direction two as a group. At this time, the cross beam 6 and the foot piece 7 provide support to ensure stable landing of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
[0037] In the second state, when the unmanned aerial vehicle needs to transport or hang the distribution box, the electric push rod drives the fixed piece 8, so that the load-bearing assembly at both ends of the cross beam is adjusted, thereby suspending the distribution box 12 on the landing gear mechanism. Through the action of the electric push rod, the mounting support plate 9 between the fixed pieces 8 is connected with the lock piece of the distribution box, and the suspension process is completed.
[0038] The electric push rod controls the position of the fixed piece 8, and cooperates with the mounting support plate 9 to accurately complete the functions of suspending and releasing the distribution box, realizes autonomous distribution operation of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and improves work efficiency.
[0039] The landing gear mechanism can quickly switch between the two working states, which can not only support the unmanned aerial vehicle to land safely, but also effectively suspend the distribution box 12 under the unmanned aerial vehicle when needed, adapting to different working requirements.
[0040] The suspension locking piece includes a fixed piece and a docking piece, and is detachably connected to the bottom of the landing gear mechanism. The docking piece is connected to the fixed piece and is fixedly connected to the distribution box 12.
[0041] The fixed piece includes the distribution box 12, which is provided with a circular groove at the center of the bottom. The distribution box 12 is provided with a battery inside, and the circular groove is provided with an electromagnetic ring 13. The electromagnetic ring 13 is electrically connected to the battery through a contact switch 14. The docking piece includes a magnetic suction ring 16, which is fixedly connected to the top of the distribution box 12. The magnetic suction ring 16 is sleeved with a plug sleeve 15.
[0042] The electromagnetic ring 13 is made of an electrically generated magnetic material. When powered on, the electromagnetic ring generates a magnetic field, which firmly adsorbs the magnetic suction ring 16 on the top of the distribution box through adsorption. The magnetic force connection between the electromagnetic ring and the magnetic suction ring ensures that the distribution box will not fall off or shake due to external interference during flight.
[0043] The electromagnetic ring 13 is electrically connected to the contact switch 14, which can open or close the current as needed, thereby controlling the magnetic field strength of the electromagnetic ring 13. When it is necessary to disconnect, the current is cut off through the contact switch, the magnetic field of the electromagnetic ring disappears, and the magnetic suction ring 16 can be released.
[0044] The magnetic suction ring 16 is fixed on the top of the distribution box and is docked with the connecting part of the landing gear mechanism through the plug sleeve 15. The plug sleeve is designed to ensure the stability of the magnetic suction ring in the adsorbed state and provides a physical auxiliary locking effect. The plug sleeve 15 can be accurately docked when connected, further enhancing the fixing force.
[0045] When the plug sleeve 15 is inserted, it first contacts the contact switch 14, which can trigger the circuit to turn on the power, and then the electromagnetic ring 13 can generate a magnetic field to adsorb the magnetic suction ring 16. No triggering operation is required to power on, which is simple and convenient.
