Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot dog technology, and in particular to a connecting bracket structure for mounting a drone on a robot dog. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, integrating drones with quadruped robots has become an important research direction in the field of mobile robotics. This multimodal mobile platform, by organically combining the advantages of both types of devices, aims to overcome the functional limitations of a single mobile platform and provide innovative solutions for collaborative operations in complex environments. Drones, with their aerial maneuverability, can achieve rapid and wide-area observation, while quadruped robots demonstrate excellent adaptability to complex ground terrain. The synergistic cooperation between the two can significantly improve the overall performance of the system in fields such as emergency rescue, military reconnaissance, and industrial inspection.
[0003] Current technologies for connecting drones and robotic dogs have shortcomings: traditional fixing methods rely on bolts or simple clips, requiring manual assembly and disassembly, which is inconvenient, inefficient, and fails to meet the needs of rapid deployment in missions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a connection bracket with quick assembly and disassembly capabilities to fully leverage the advantages of air-to-ground collaboration. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a connecting bracket structure for mounting a drone on a robot dog.
[0005] This utility model provides a connecting bracket structure for mounting a drone on a robot dog, including: a robot dog body, a drone body, and a connecting component. The connecting component includes a mounting block, a cover plate, a gear, a double-headed cylinder, and a rack. The mounting block is fixedly mounted on the robot dog body, and limit grooves are provided at both ends of the top of the mounting block. A shaft is provided through one end of the cover plate and is rotatably connected in the limit groove. One end of the shaft is rotatably connected through the mounting block. The gear is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the shaft. The double-headed cylinder is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting block, and an extension rod is fixedly mounted on the output end of the double-headed cylinder. The rack is fixedly mounted on the other end of the extension rod.
[0006] Furthermore, a buffer spring is fixedly provided at the inner bottom of the limiting groove and on the inner side of the cover plate, and a clamping plate is provided at the inner bottom of the limiting groove and on the inner side of the cover plate. The other end of the buffer spring is fixedly provided on the clamping plate on the same side.
[0007] Furthermore, the clamp is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed in the arc-shaped groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the cover plate is configured to cooperate with the limiting groove, and the cover plates on both sides are arranged opposite each other.
[0009] Furthermore, the gear is meshed with the rack.
[0010] Furthermore, a support plate is fixedly provided on one side of the mounting block, and the rack slides against the support plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. A connecting assembly is installed. A double-headed cylinder drives a rack to move inward, which in turn drives a gear to rotate the cover upward and open, allowing the drone body to be removed. The landing gear is then placed in the limiting slot, and the double-headed cylinder drives the gear to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the cover downward and closes, thus securing the drone body. The operation is simple and quick, requiring no manual disassembly or assembly, thus improving work efficiency.
[0013] 2. The system is equipped with clamping plates and buffer springs. The clamping plates can hold the landing gear in place, and the buffer springs can cushion the landing gear between the clamping plates, thereby cushioning the drone body and improving safety.
[0014] In summary, this utility model incorporates a connecting component, allowing for convenient assembly and disassembly of the drone body without manual operation, thus improving work efficiency; it also includes a clamping plate and a buffer spring to cushion the drone body and enhance safety.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, a connecting bracket structure for mounting a drone on a robot dog includes: a robot dog body 1, a drone body 2, and a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a mounting block 3, a cover plate 5, a gear 7, a double-headed cylinder 8, and a rack 10. The mounting block 3 is fixedly mounted on the robot dog body 1. Limiting grooves 4 are provided at both ends of the top of the mounting block 3. The limiting grooves 4 are used to mount the landing gear of the drone body 2. The cover plate 5 is configured to cooperate with the limiting grooves 4, with the cover plates 5 facing each other on both sides; this allows the two cover plates 5 to cover the limiting grooves 4 on the same side, thereby limiting the landing gear at both ends. A shaft 6 is provided through one end of the cover plate 5, and the shaft 6 is rotatably connected within the limiting groove 4, allowing the cover plate 5 to rotate through the shaft 6; one end of the shaft 6 is rotatably connected through the mounting block 3.
[0022] A buffer spring 12 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the limiting groove 4 and on the inner side of the cover plate 5, and a clamping plate 11 is installed at the inner bottom of the limiting groove 4 and on the inner side of the cover plate 5. Figure 3 The two cover plates 5 are in different states at the same time (the left cover plate 5 is in the closed state and the right cover plate 5 is in the open state). The other end of the buffer spring 12 is fixedly set on the clamping plate 11 on the same side, so that the clamping plate 11 can be elastically connected to the limiting groove 4 or the cover plate 5 through the buffer spring 12. The buffer spring 12 can buffer the landing gear between the clamping plates 11, and thus buffer the UAV body 2, improving safety.
[0023] The clamping plate 11 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 14, and two arc-shaped grooves 14 on the same side are arranged opposite each other; the arc-shaped grooves 14 are used to clamp the landing gear. An anti-slip pad 15 is fixedly installed inside the arc-shaped groove 14, which plays a role in preventing slippage and improving stability.
[0024] Gear 7 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of shaft 6. Double-headed cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on one side of mounting block 3, and an extension rod 9 is fixedly mounted on the output end of double-headed cylinder 8. Rack 10 is fixedly mounted on the other end of extension rod 9. Gear 7 meshes with rack 10, so that when rack 10 moves, it drives gear 7 to rotate. A support plate 13 is fixedly mounted on one side of mounting block 3, and rack 10 slides against support plate 13. Support plate 13 supports rack 10, improving stability.
[0025] The detailed working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0026] 1. When removing the drone, the two racks 10 are moved inward by the double-headed cylinder 8, which in turn drives the gear 7 on the same side to rotate. The gear 7 drives the inner end of the cover plate 5 to rotate upward by 90 degrees through the shaft 6, so that the two cover plates 5 are in the open state, and the clamping plate 11 above is separated from the landing gear on the same side. At this time, the two landing gears of the drone body 2 can be removed, and then the drone body 2 can be removed.
[0027] 2. During installation, place the two landing gears of the UAV body 2 on the clamping plates 11 in the limiting grooves 4 on both sides respectively; then, drive the two racks 10 to move outward by the double-headed cylinder 8, which in turn drives the gears 7 on the same side to rotate in the opposite direction. The gears 7 drive the inner end of the cover plate 5 to rotate downward 90 degrees to reset through the shaft 6, so that the two cover plates 5 are in a closed state; at the same time, the cover plate 5 will drive the clamping plate 11 above to rotate downward to reset, and clamp the landing gear through the opposing arc grooves 14, thus fixing the UAV body 2.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model 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 utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
