[0028] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0029] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0030] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0033] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0034] like Figures 1-8 As shown, it illustrates a drone-based loudspeaker, throwing, and lighting assembly according to an embodiment of this disclosure. The assembly includes a drone body 1, a throwing module 2 mounted on the bottom of the drone body 1, a housing 201 fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone body 1, a throwing tube 203 fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the housing 201, a power module 202 mounted on the back of the inner wall of the housing 201, an elastic component 204 mounted on the top of the inner wall of the housing 201, a thrust component 205 mounted on the bottom of the elastic component 204, a drive component 206 mounted on the right side of the inner wall of the housing 201, and a support component 207 mounted on the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 201.

[0035] In this embodiment, the projectile is placed inside the projectile tube 203. Two movable plates 273 support the projectile, and rollers 253 support the top of the support plate 267. The spring 243 is compressed. When the projectile needs to be projected, the motor 261 is started to drive the threaded rod 262 to rotate. Under the threaded thrust of the threaded rod 262, the movable plate 263 moves horizontally to the left, thereby controlling the end of the plate 275 away from the movable plate 263 to move away from each other. The sliding plate 272 then drives the movable plate 273 to move away from each other along the rectangular groove 231. The movable plate 273 releases its support for the thrown object, and at the same time, the support plate 267 releases its support for the roller 253. The spring 243 releases its elastic force, pushing the thrust assembly 205 downward. The thrown object is subjected to gravity and the thrust of the thrust plate 255, and is quickly thrown from the bottom of the throwing tube 203. This avoids the probability of the thrown object being delayed due to jamming and improves the accuracy of the throwing.

[0036] In some examples, the elastic component 204 includes a fixed rod 241 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the housing 201, a cylindrical tube 242 movably sleeved at the bottom of the fixed rod 241, and a spring 243 movably sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical tube 242.

[0037] Spring 243 is located between the top of the fixed plate 251 and the top of the inner wall of the box 201. Before being thrown, spring 243 is in a compressed state.

[0038] In some examples, the thrust assembly 205 includes a fixed plate 251 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylindrical tube 242, a bracket plate 252 fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the fixed plate 251, and a roller 253 movably sleeved on the bottom of the bracket plate 252.

[0039] As the movable plate 263 moves to the left, the roller 253 rolls against the top surface of the support plate 267, which reduces the friction of the contact surface.

[0040] In some examples, a fixing block 254 is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the fixing plate 251, and a thrust plate 255 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 254. The thrust plate 255 is located directly above the throwing tube 203.

[0041] During the throwing process, the spring 243 releases its elastic force, and the thrust assembly 205 moves vertically downward, thereby generating a downward thrust on the thrown object by the thrust plate 255.

[0042] In some examples, the drive assembly 206 includes a motor 261 fixedly connected to the right side of the housing 201, the output shaft of the motor 261 being fixedly connected to a threaded rod 262, a movable plate 263 being threadedly sleeved on the outer side of the threaded rod 262, a vertical plate 266 being fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 263, and a support plate 267 being fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 266.

[0043] Before the projectile needs to be installed, pull the thrust assembly 205 upward. Then, the motor 261 drives the moving plate 263 to move to the position that fits against the right side of the inner wall of the box 201 via the threaded rod 262 and resets it. Then, release the thrust assembly 205. The support plate 267 supports the thrust assembly 205, and the movable plate 273 extends into the inside of the throwing tube 203.

[0044] In some examples, the front and back of the movable plate 263 are provided with connecting grooves 264. The inner side of the connecting groove 264 is fixedly connected to a first connecting rod 265. The support assembly 207 includes a T-shaped positioning strip 271 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the box 201. The top of the T-shaped positioning strip 271 is slidably sleeved with a sliding plate 272. The surface of the sliding plate 272 near the throwing tube 203 is fixedly connected with a movable plate 273. The top of the sliding plate 272 is fixedly connected with a second connecting rod 274. The outer side of the second connecting rod 274 is slidably sleeved with a control plate 275. The other end of the control plate 275 is slidably sleeved with the first connecting rod 265. The front and back of the throwing tube 203 are provided with rectangular grooves 231. The rectangular grooves 231 are slidably sleeved with the movable plate 273.

[0045] When the movable plate 263 moves to the right, the two movable plates 273 move toward each other and extend into the interior of the throwing tube 203 through the rectangular groove 231, thereby supporting the thrown object. The throwing tube 203 can position and guide the thrown object.

[0046] In some examples, a loudspeaker module 4 is included, which is mounted on the front of the housing 201 and is electrically connected to the power module 202.

[0047] The broadcasting module 4 can be used for broadcasting announcements, which can be used in various situations, such as command, publicity, and emergency notification.

[0048] In some examples, a lighting module 3 is included, which includes a lamp 301 and a lampshade 302 fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 201. The lamp 301 is electrically connected to the power module 202.

[0049] The lampshade 302 can guide and concentrate the light emitted by the lighting lamp 301, improve the effective use of light, and the lighting module 3 enhances visibility during night flight or in low-light environments.

[0050] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0051] The object to be thrown is placed inside the throwing tube 203. Two movable plates 273 support the object, and rollers 253 are supported on top of the support plate 267. Spring 243 is compressed. When the object needs to be thrown, the motor 261 is started to drive the threaded rod 262 to rotate. Under the threaded thrust of the threaded rod 262, the movable plate 263 moves horizontally to the left, thereby controlling the end of the control plate 275 away from the movable plate 263 to move away from each other. Then, the sliding plate 272 drives the movable plate 273 to move away from each other along the rectangular groove 231. The movable plate 273 releases its support for the object, and at the same time, the support plate 267 releases its support for the rollers 253. Spring 243 releases its elasticity, pushing the thrust assembly 205 downward. The object is thrown quickly from the bottom of the throwing tube 203 under the action of gravity and the thrust of the thrust plate 255, avoiding the probability of delayed throwing due to jamming and improving the accuracy of throwing.

[0052] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
