Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a multi-functional load suspension device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), belonging to the field of UAV technology. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own programmed control devices, or operated autonomously, either completely or intermittently, by an onboard computer. Compared to manned aircraft, UAVs are often better suited for dangerous missions. UAVs can be categorized into military and civilian applications. In the military field, UAVs are divided into reconnaissance aircraft and target drones. In the civilian field, the combination of UAVs with industry applications represents the true necessity of UAVs. Currently, applications in aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, miniature selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying, news reporting, power line inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, and creating romantic scenes have greatly expanded the uses of UAVs. Developed countries are also actively expanding industry applications and developing UAV technology.

[0003] A search revealed a publicly available patent (publication number: CN212667694U) for a multi-functional payload suspension device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The patent describes a device comprising a connecting plate with a pair of connecting rods symmetrically mounted on both sides of its bottom. The bottom ends of the two pairs of connecting rods are connected to a support plate. A suspension device is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the connecting plate. The suspension device consists of a main housing, a mounting plate, and a secondary housing. The top of the main housing is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the main housing, and the mounting plate is installed inside the mounting groove. A turntable is movably engaged on the bottom surface of the mounting plate, and a fixing seat is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the turntable. Axle pins are fixedly connected to both sides of the secondary housing and are fixedly installed to the fixing seat via the axle pins. This multi-functional payload suspension device for UAVs has a simple and reasonable structure, a novel design, and is easy to operate. It effectively solves the problem of existing UAV camera suspension devices being inconvenient for adjusting and using the camera, and has high practical value.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent still has some shortcomings. For example, when the drone is flying at high altitude, there will be mosquitoes at high altitude. When the mosquitoes hit the viewing window, their corpses will remain on the surface. When the scraper is used to scrape, it will not only fail to make the viewing window clearer, but will also spread the mosquito corpses evenly on the window, thus affecting the use of the camera. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multi-functional payload suspension device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to prevent mosquitoes from interfering with camera operation.

The second gear 307 is located in the middle between the housing 1 and the first pulley 308. The second baffle 312 is made of transparent material.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the camera 2 is fixed inside the housing 1 by a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a second motor 401 fixedly connected inside the housing 1. A third rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 401. A placement frame 403 is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 402. A front baffle 404 is provided at one end of the placement frame 403. A threaded rod 405 is fixedly connected to one side of the placement frame 403. A handle 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 405. The handle 406 is threaded onto the threaded rod 405. The housing 1 is fixed to the drone by a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a top plate 501. A third motor 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 501. The housing 1 is fixedly connected to the third motor 502. On the output end, the top plate 501 is provided with fixing holes 6. The first rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The first gear 305 meshes with the second gear 307. The second rotating shaft 311 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The second filter 313 and the first filter 304 are symmetrically arranged. The second baffle 312 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. The third rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1. The camera 2 is located between the placement frame 403 and the support plate 407. The support plate 407 is slidably connected to the placement frame 403. The placement frame 403 is L-shaped.

The area of ​​the top plate 501 is smaller than the area of ​​the bottom of the drone. The height of the housing 1 is smaller than the height of the drone landing gear.

[0024] Working principle: The operator uses screws to fix the top plate 501 to the bottom of the drone through the fixing holes 6 on the top plate 501. Then, when the first baffle 303 and the second baffle 312 are open, the camera 2 is placed between the placement frame 403 and the tray 407. The operator manually turns the handle 406 to rotate the threaded rod 405, pushing the tray 407 to slide upward on the placement frame 403 until the camera 2 is fixed. Then, the first motor 301 is started to rotate the first rotating shaft 302, which in turn opens the first baffle 303. At this time, the first rotating shaft 302 drives the first gear 305 to rotate, and under the action of the second gear 307, it drives the rotating rod. 306 rotates on the housing 1, and the rotating rod 306 drives the first pulley 308 to rotate. Through the transmission belt 309, the second pulley 310 drives the second rotating shaft 311 to rotate at the bottom of the housing 1, which in turn drives the second baffle 312 and the first baffle 303 to rotate simultaneously, closing the housing 1. When it is necessary to take a picture, the first motor 301 is started to drive the first baffle 303 and the second baffle 312 to open. At this time, the third motor 502 is started to drive the housing 1 to rotate left and right. The second motor 401 is started to drive the third rotating shaft 402 to rotate, which can drive the placement frame 403 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the camera 2 in multiple directions to take pictures.
