Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural drone technology, and more specifically, it relates to a nighttime operation lighting lamp for agricultural drones. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural drones consist of three parts: a flight platform, a navigation and flight control system, and a spraying mechanism. They perform spraying operations through ground remote control or navigation and flight control, and can spray pesticides, seeds, powders, etc. When agricultural drones work at night, they need to use lighting.
[0003] Existing lighting fixtures are not easily adjustable and installed to fit the size of agricultural drones, which limits their usability. Furthermore, most agricultural drones use their built-in power supply, which reduces their battery life. Therefore, this paper researches and improves upon existing structures and shortcomings to provide a nighttime operating light for agricultural drones, aiming to achieve greater practical value.

[0023] Example:
[0024] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0025] This utility model provides a night operation lighting lamp for agricultural drones, including clamps 4 installed on two sets of brackets 3 at the bottom of the body 1. A telescopic rod 5 is rotatably connected between the two sets of clamps 4. Two sets of slip rings 6 are provided on the outer side of the telescopic rod 5. A lamp housing 7 is fixedly installed between the two sets of slip rings 6. A storage battery 8 is installed inside the lamp housing 7. A protective plate 10 is connected to the bottom end of the storage battery 8. Positioning brackets 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lamp housing 7. A locking mechanism 9 is provided between the positioning brackets 11 and the protective plate 10. Multiple lighting lamps 12 and a controller (not shown) are installed on one side of the lamp housing 7. The controller is electrically connected to the storage battery 8 and the lighting lamps 12 through a wiring harness.
[0026] The locking mechanism 9 includes positioning columns 901 vertically connected to the four corners of the top of the protective plate 10; the bottom four corners of the positioning card seat 11 are provided with slots corresponding to the positioning columns 901, and the positioning columns 901 are engaged in the slots to facilitate quick battery swapping of the agricultural drone, thereby improving the overall battery life of the device.
[0027] The positioning card holder 11 has a through slot with a movable groove inside. A spring 902 is installed inside the movable groove. Locking blocks 903 are fixedly connected to both ends of the spring 902. The locking block 903 has a driving slope on the bottom side of the end away from the spring 902. The locking block 903 can be moved by pressing the driving slope of the locking block 903 to quickly lock it.
[0028] The positioning column 901 has a positioning hole on its side wall. The locking block 903 passes through the movable groove at the end away from the spring 902 and is engaged in the positioning hole, so as to fix the protective plate 10 to the bottom of the lamp housing 7.
[0029] The locking block 903 has a handle 904 fixedly connected to one end near the spring 902. The side wall of the positioning base 11 has a sliding groove corresponding to the handle 904, which facilitates the quick movement of the locking block 903 through the handle 904 to achieve quick unlocking and improve the ease of use of the device.
[0030] The slip ring 6 has two sets of threaded holes symmetrically opened at its top end, and one end of the threaded hole extends into the interior of the telescopic rod 5. The threaded hole is connected to a threaded post, and a knob 2 is fixed at the top of the threaded post to facilitate the fixation of the slip ring 6 and prevent the lighting lamp 12 from shaking when the agricultural drone is in flight.
[0031] The working principle of this embodiment:
[0032] When the device is in use, firstly, the telescopic rod 5 is fixedly installed in a suitable position on the bracket 3 using the clamp 4. Then, the lamp housing 7 is fixedly installed on the telescopic rod 5 using the threaded post on the slip ring 6. The lighting lamp 12 on one side of the lamp housing 7 can be turned on for illumination during nighttime operations. When the battery 8 inside the lamp housing 7 is depleted, the agricultural drone is recalled. Then, the handle 904 is pulled, causing the handle 904 to drive the two sets of locking blocks 903 to move, so that the locking blocks 903 leave the positioning holes on the side wall of the positioning column 901, thereby unlocking the protective plate 10 and removing the depleted battery 8. Then, the fully charged battery 8 is connected to the controller through the wiring harness, and then installed into the lamp housing 7 through the protective plate 10. During installation, by pressing the inclined surface of the locking block 903, the locking block 903 is moved. Under the elastic force of the spring 902, the locking block 903 is stably inserted into the positioning hole, making it difficult to loosen, so as to achieve quick spring-in locking and protect the battery 8 at the same time.
[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
