Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a vibration reduction structure for UAV take-off and landing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, its application areas are constantly expanding, from common aerial photography and surveying to emerging scenarios such as logistics delivery and emergency rescue. The use of drones is becoming increasingly frequent. However, existing drone landing gear is struggling to meet the diverse operational needs. Traditional landing gear often uses a simple rigid structure, which cannot effectively buffer impact forces during landing, leading to frequent damage to the drone's airframe and internal equipment, resulting in high maintenance costs. As drones increasingly perform missions in complex terrain environments, such as mountains, jungles, and wetlands, rigid landing gear struggles to adapt to uneven and soft ground, often causing unstable landing attitudes or even tipping accidents, seriously affecting mission execution and equipment safety.

[0003] Because existing drone landing gears have different requirements in different operating scenarios, a single mode of cushioning is difficult to adapt to the impact changes brought about by different ground conditions such as flat cement ground, soft sand, and undulating grass. Therefore, there is a problem of not being able to adapt to impacts of different intensities. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a vibration damping structure for the take-off and landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), including a landing gear body 1. A damping mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the landing gear body 1. A maintenance mechanism 2 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the damping mechanism 3. The damping mechanism 3 includes a fixing block 301 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the landing gear body 1. A threaded rod 302 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing block 301. A connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the threaded rod 302. A damping telescopic rod 304 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting block 303. A spring 305 is attached to the lower surface of the fixing block 301.

[0031] The other end of the damping telescopic rod 304 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 307. The lower surface of the positioning block 307 is fixedly connected to a limit block 306. The outer surface of the limit block 306 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the limit plate 205. The limit block 306 adopts a square structure. The lower surface of the spring 305 is engaged with the upper surface of the limit plate 205.

[0032] Furthermore, upon the moment the drone touches the ground, the impact force first acts on the landing gear body 1. The landing gear body 1 transmits the force to the shock absorption mechanism 3. The fixed block 301, fixed to the outer surface of the landing gear body 1, serves as a basic support component. The threaded rod 302, which is threaded to it, plays a key adjustment role. The connecting block 303 and the damping telescopic rod 304 connected below the threaded rod 302, together with the spring 305 attached to the bottom of the fixed block 301, work together to absorb shock. As the impact force arrives, the spring 305 is compressed, using its own elastic deformation to convert part of the impact force into elastic potential energy for storage, thus achieving an initial buffering effect. At the same time, during the extension and retraction process, the damping telescopic rod 304 consumes energy through the action of the internal damping medium, slowing down the rebound speed of the spring 305 and avoiding secondary impact. When the positioning block 307 rotates, it drives the damping telescopic rod 304 and the fixed block 301 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the limiting plate 205 and the fixed block 301, changing the initial compression state of the spring 305, and thus adapting to impact forces of different intensities.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The maintenance mechanism 2 includes a protective sleeve 201 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed block 301. A sliding groove 203 is provided on the outer surface of the fixed block 301. A connecting ring 202 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the sliding groove 203. The outer surface of the connecting ring 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 201. A limit plate 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective sleeve 201.

[0035] The cross-section of the specific connecting ring 202 is a convex structure. The upper surface of the limiting plate 205 is provided with a square limiting groove 204 that matches the outer surface of the limiting block 306. The limiting groove 204 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting block 306.

[0036] By further pulling the connecting ring 202 to overcome its elastic resistance, the connecting ring 202 can be carefully moved out of the sliding groove 203, thus detaching the protective sleeve 201 from the fixing block 301. Once the connecting ring 202 is detached, the protective sleeve 201 can be easily removed, fully exposing the shock absorption mechanism 3, allowing maintenance personnel to inspect, maintain, and replace key shock absorption components such as the spring 305, damping telescopic rod 304, and threaded rod 302 without any obstacles.

[0037] Working principle: First, spring 305 is snapped onto the upper surface of limiting plate 205. Then, threaded rod 302 is threaded onto the outer surface of landing gear body 1. Next, limiting groove 204 is fitted onto the outer surface of limiting block 306, which facilitates limiting of limiting block 306 and positioning block 307. Then, connecting ring 202 is slid to the outer surface of sliding groove 203. By rotating limiting plate 205, the rotation of limiting plate 205 drives limiting block 306 and positioning block 307 to rotate. The rotation of positioning block 307 drives damping telescopic rod 304, connecting block 303 and threaded rod 302 to rotate, so that threaded rod 302 moves into the interior of landing gear body 1, which facilitates adjustment of the tension of spring 305.

[0038] It should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
