[0003] There are many types of drones available, including drones with automated robotic arms. The bottom support of this type of drone is quite tall and occupies a lot of space, providing sufficient space for the robotic arm to operate. Since the bottom support of the drone is fixed and cannot be disassembled, it takes up a lot of storage space during transportation, which affects the convenience of transporting this type of drone. Therefore, we provide a drone with an automated robotic arm. Utility Model Content

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This utility model, by setting a connecting mechanism, allows for convenient disassembly and installation of the bottom bracket that supports the main body of the drone, thereby improving the transportation convenience of the drone body and reducing the space occupied during transportation and storage.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drone with an automated robotic arm, comprising: a drone body 1, a connecting mechanism 2 at the bottom of the drone body 1, the connecting mechanism 2 including a mounting frame 21, a connecting plate 22 on one side of the mounting frame 21, an insert block 23 sleeved inside the mounting frame 21, an insertion block 24 sleeved inside the insert block 23, the insertion block 24 and the insert block 23 being slidably connected, a slot 25 on the insertion block 24, an angled block 26 sleeved inside the insert block 23, the angled block 26 and the insert block 23 being slidably connected, a moving block 27 fixedly connected to one end of the angled block 26, a spring 28 on one side of the moving block 27, and a connecting plate 2... One side of the 2 is provided with a support mechanism 3, which includes a support frame 31, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22. The mounting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the UAV body 1. The embedded block 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 21. The insert block 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 22. The moving block 27 is sleeved inside the embedded block 23 and is slidably connected to the embedded block 23. The two ends of the spring 28 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the moving block 27 and the inner wall of the embedded block 23, respectively. One end of the moving block 27 is fixedly connected to an adjusting block 29. One side of the connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 201. The mounting frame 21 is provided with a positioning groove 202 that matches the positioning block 201.
[0024] In this embodiment, by setting the connecting mechanism 2, the support mechanism 3 can be separated, making it easier to transport this type of drone. The insert block 24 is set and can slide into the interior of the embedding block 23. At the same time, the embedding block 23 has an angled block 26 inside that matches the slot 25 on the insert block 24. The angled block 26 can engage with the insert block 24, so that the insert block 24 can maintain a stable state, thereby ensuring the stability of the support mechanism 3. In addition, a spring 28 is set and can generate elastic force, so that the angled block 26 can engage more tightly with the insert block 24. At the same time, a positioning block 201 is set and can be installed into the positioning slot 202 on the mounting frame 21, so that the connecting plate 22 can be positioned and installed, and the strength of the mounting frame 21 and the connecting plate 22 after connection is increased.
[0025] Example 2
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a connecting frame 32 is provided at one end of the support frame 31. The connecting frame 32 is fixedly connected to the support frame 31. A rubber pad 33 is sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting frame 32. The rubber pad 33 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 32. Bolts 34 are sleeved inside the connecting frame 32 and the rubber pad 33. The bolts 34 are threadedly connected to the connecting frame 32 and slidably connected to the rubber pad 33.
[0027] In this embodiment, by setting the support mechanism 3, the drone body 1 can be supported to maintain a certain operating height. The rubber pad 33 prevents the connecting frame 32 from directly contacting the ground, thereby effectively reducing the damage rate of the connecting frame 32. In addition, the bolt 34 allows the rubber pad 33 to be easily replaced, ensuring the safety of the connecting frame 32 in use.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, when using this utility model, if it is necessary to install the support mechanism 3, the support mechanism 3 can drive the connecting plate 22 closer to the mounting frame 21. At this time, the connecting plate 22 will drive the positioning block 201 to first enter the positioning groove 202 opened on the mounting frame 21. Then, the insert block 24 will enter the interior of the embedded block 23 and squeeze the beveled block 26, causing the beveled block 26 to slide inside the embedded block 23. At the same time, the beveled block 26 will use the moving block 27 to compress the spring 28, causing the spring 28 to generate elastic force. When the connecting plate 22 and the mounting frame 21 are in a close contact state, the elastic force of the spring 28 will be released instantly, causing the moving block 27 and the beveled block 26 to slide inside the embedded block 23. Block 26 can automatically reset, and the angled block 26 can be tightly engaged in the slot 25 opened on the insert block 24. If the rubber pad 33 needs to be replaced, the threaded connection between the bolt 34 and the connecting frame 32 can be released, and the new rubber pad 33 can be fitted onto the outer surface of the connecting frame 32. Then, the bolt 34 is passed through the rubber pad 33 and threadedly connected to the connecting frame 32, so that the rubber pad 33 will not detach from the connecting frame 32. If the support mechanism 3 needs to be disassembled, the adjusting block 29 can be slid, and the adjusting block 29 can drive the moving block 27 and the angled block 26 to slide, so that the angled block 26 is disengaged from the insert block 24, thereby the support mechanism 3 can be separated.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
