Description

Technical Field

[0002] The application of drone technology in surveying, disaster monitoring, and other fields is becoming increasingly widespread, and radar, as a critical payload device, often needs to be mounted on drone platforms. Currently, the industry generally uses bolts or straps to secure radar devices to the drone body, forming a rigid connection structure. This traditional method has revealed a series of technical defects in practical applications: First, the disassembly and assembly process relies on specialized tools and requires the removal of a large number of fasteners, resulting in excessively long maintenance or replacement times for the radar; second, the mounting holes of the mounting brackets are only compatible with specific radar models, requiring custom-made brackets when switching to different sized devices, lacking flexibility; more importantly, the rigid connection cannot buffer the impact force during abnormal drone landings, and the impact energy is directly transmitted to the delicate radar equipment, significantly increasing the risk of damage.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of load-bearing structure. Its core objectives are to enable rapid assembly and disassembly of radar devices to improve maintenance efficiency, provide multi-size compatible mounting interfaces to accommodate different equipment models, and integrate a buffer protection mechanism to reduce the risk of damage from landing impacts. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular load-bearing UAV structure that enables manual assembly and disassembly of the radar device through a quick-connect mechanism between the mounting block and the limiting hole. It utilizes a multi-hole mounting plate to be compatible with different radar models and uses a buffer spring to absorb landing impact, thereby comprehensively solving the three major technical defects of traditional UAV radar installation: cumbersome assembly and disassembly, poor compatibility, and lack of protective buffer.

[0013] Connecting rods;
