Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a modular nose section for a quick-release UAV and the quick-release UAV itself. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing diversification of drone applications, the functional and performance requirements of drone nose sections vary significantly depending on the specific application scenario. However, most mainstream drone nose sections on the market currently adopt a unibody, non-removable design, with all functional modules tightly integrated, lacking the ability to be disassembled and replaced independently. This design makes it difficult for users to quickly adjust the nose section configuration according to the actual scenario when facing diverse operational needs. For example, it is impossible to flexibly replace camera modules to adapt to different shooting requirements, severely limiting the scope of drone nose section usage.
[0003] Furthermore, the integrated structure also presents challenges for the maintenance and upgrade of the compressor head. If a component of the compressor head fails, the user often needs to replace the entire compressor head, which not only increases maintenance costs but also prolongs downtime. Utility Model Content
[0004] The first objective of this application is to provide a quick-release modular head unit.
[0005] The modular head unit provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A modular camera head includes a housing and a camera module disposed on the housing. The housing has an installation chamber, and the camera module is detachably disposed in the installation chamber.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the camera module can be quickly assembled and disassembled from the housing. Different camera modules can be selected and installed on the housing as needed, which greatly improves the application range of the modular camera head. At the same time, when the camera module is damaged, only the camera module needs to be repaired or replaced, which is more efficient.
[0008] In one specific implementation scheme, a plurality of first mounting holes are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the mounting chamber, and the opposite side parts of the camera module are detachably connected to the plurality of first mounting holes.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation strength of the camera module is effectively improved.
[0010] In one specific implementation, the plurality of first mounting holes includes a plurality of first hole bodies and a plurality of second hole bodies, wherein the first hole bodies are circular holes and the second hole bodies are oblong holes.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple first holes and multiple second holes can cooperate with each other to install camera modules of different specifications, thus expanding the range of camera modules that can be selected.
[0012] In one specific implementation, there are two of each of the first and second holes, one of which is located between the two first holes, and the other is located to the side of the two first holes.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the two first holes and two second holes can fix the camera module based on their respective positions, effectively improving the installation strength of the camera module.
[0014] In one specific implementation, the two second holes are arranged at an angle to each other.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the two second holes can be adapted and fixed to the camera module in two directions, thereby further expanding the range of camera modules that can be selected.
[0016] In one specific implementation scheme, shock-absorbing blocks are respectively provided on opposite sides of the outer casing, and the plurality of first mounting holes are respectively opened on two of the shock-absorbing blocks.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the shock absorption capacity of the casing can be effectively improved, preventing damage to the camera module.
[0018] In one specific implementation, the modular head also includes two anti-collision beams, which are detachably connected to opposite sides of the outer casing.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the two anti-collision beams can be quickly disassembled and assembled with the outer shell. Different specifications of anti-collision beams can be flexibly selected on the outer shell as needed, which greatly improves the application range of the modular head. At the same time, when the anti-collision beams are damaged, only the anti-collision beams need to be repaired or replaced, which is more efficient.
[0020] In one specific implementation scheme, the outer shell has multiple second mounting holes on its opposite sides, and each of the anti-collision beams has multiple third mounting holes, with the multiple second mounting holes corresponding one-to-one with the multiple third mounting holes.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation strength of the anti-collision beam is effectively improved.
[0022] In one specific implementation scheme, the housing is further provided with a plurality of parallel mounting tubes, the length direction of which is the same as the arrangement direction of the two anti-collision beams, and each of the mounting tubes has a tube opening at both ends, and the plurality of tube openings correspond one-to-one with the plurality of second mounting holes and are properly aligned.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the two opposing anti-collision beams can be combined into an integrated structure through the installation pipe, which effectively improves the structural strength of the anti-collision beams and thus enhances their anti-collision effect.
[0024] The second objective of this application is to provide a quick-release drone.
[0025] This application provides a quick-release drone using the following technical solution:
[0026] A quick-release drone includes a fuselage, and the quick-release drone also includes a modular nose as described above, the modular nose being detachably connected to the fuselage.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, the modular nose and fuselage can be quickly assembled and disassembled. Different specifications of modular noses can be flexibly selected and matched on the fuselage as needed, which increases the flexibility of the UAV's structural design. At the same time, when the modular nose is damaged, only the modular nose needs to be repaired or replaced, which is more efficient.
[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0040] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1: See Figure 1-3 As shown, a modular nose section of a drone is shown. The modular nose section is installed at the front of the drone's fuselage and includes a shell 1 and a camera module (not shown) mounted on the shell 1. An installation chamber 2 is provided inside the shell 1, and the camera module is detachably installed in the installation chamber 2.
[0042] The mounting chamber 2 extends along the length of the outer casing 1, and the camera module, a camera, is mounted at the front end of the mounting chamber 2. The detachable design allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the camera module from the outer casing 1. Different camera modules can be selected and installed on the outer casing 1 as needed, greatly expanding the applicability of the modular camera head. Furthermore, when a camera module is damaged, only the camera module needs to be repaired or replaced individually, resulting in higher efficiency.
[0043] In this embodiment, four first mounting holes 3 are respectively provided on the two side walls in the width direction of the front end of the mounting chamber 2, and the two sides of the camera module in the width direction are detachably connected to the four first mounting holes 3 by bolts.
[0044] The four first mounting holes 3 include two first hole bodies 3a and two second hole bodies 3b. The first hole bodies 3a are round holes, and the second hole bodies 3b are oblong holes. The arrangement direction of the two first hole bodies 3a is inclined downward along the length direction of the outer casing 1. One of the second hole bodies 3b is located between the two first hole bodies 3a, and the other second hole body 3b is located below the two first hole bodies 3a.
[0045] In this way, the two first holes 3a and the two second holes 3b can cooperate to install camera modules of different specifications, expanding the range of camera modules that can be selected. Specifically, since the second hole 3b is an oblong hole, it can be connected to the camera module at various points along its length via bolts, allowing camera modules of different specifications to be connected to the outer casing 1 at different positions within the oblong hole. Furthermore, the two first holes 3a and the two second holes 3b, located at different positions, can securely fix the periphery of the camera module as a whole, effectively improving the installation strength of the camera module.
[0046] In this embodiment, the two second holes 3b extend at an angle. The second hole 3b located between the two first holes 3a extends perpendicularly to the arrangement direction of the two first holes 3a, while the second hole 3b located below the two first holes 3a extends in the same direction as the length of the outer casing 1. This allows the two second holes 3b to adapt and fix the camera module in two directions, thereby further expanding the range of camera modules that can be selected. For example, when installing a camera module, one second hole 3b can be adapted to install various camera modules with different axial dimensions, while the other second hole 3b can be adapted to install various camera modules with different radial dimensions, resulting in a very wide range of compatibility.
[0047] In this embodiment, upright shock-absorbing blocks 4 are respectively provided at the front ends of both sides of the outer casing 1 in the width direction, and mounting blocks 10 for mounting antennas are respectively provided at the rear ends. A shock-absorbing shell 11 is provided at the upper rear end of the outer casing 1. Multiple first mounting holes 3 are respectively opened on two shock-absorbing blocks 4. The two shock-absorbing blocks 4, the two mounting blocks 10, and the shock-absorbing shell 11 enclose a mounting chamber 2. This can effectively improve the shock absorption capability of the outer casing 1 and prevent damage to the camera module.
[0048] In this embodiment, the modular head also includes two anti-collision beams 5, which are detachably connected to the front ends of both sides of the outer casing 1 in the width direction. The two anti-collision beams 5 can be quickly attached to and detached from the outer casing 1, allowing for flexible selection of anti-collision beams 5 of different specifications as needed, greatly improving the applicability of the modular head; at the same time, when an anti-collision beam 5 is damaged, only the anti-collision beam 5 needs to be repaired or replaced individually, which is more efficient.
[0049] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 As shown, two second mounting holes 6 are respectively opened on both sides of the outer shell 1 in the width direction. The two second mounting holes 6 are arranged vertically. Two third mounting holes 7 are respectively opened on each anti-collision beam 5. The two third mounting holes 7 on each anti-collision beam 5 correspond to the two second mounting holes 6 on one side of the outer shell 1. The corresponding second mounting holes 6 and third mounting holes 7 are connected by bolts.
[0050] In this embodiment, two parallel mounting tubes 8 are also provided inside the outer casing 1. The two mounting tubes 8 are arranged vertically, and the length direction of the mounting tubes 8 is the same as the arrangement direction of the two anti-collision beams 5. Each mounting tube 8 has a tube opening at both ends, and the tube opening is provided with an internal thread. The four tube openings of the two mounting tubes 8 correspond one-to-one with the four second mounting holes 6 and are properly aligned. When connecting the anti-collision beams 5, the bolts can pass through the third mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 6 in sequence and then be threaded into the tube openings, so that the two opposing anti-collision beams 5 can be combined into a whole structure through the mounting tubes 8, which effectively improves the structural strength of the anti-collision beams 5, thereby improving the anti-collision effect of the anti-collision beams 5.
[0051] In this embodiment, after installation, the anti-collision beam 5 covers the outer side of the shock absorber block 4. The anti-collision beam 5 has an opening 12 for exposing two first holes 3a and one of the second holes 3b, and a fourth mounting hole 13 that is aligned with the other second hole 3b. In this way, the anti-collision beam 5 can also be installed and reinforced by bolt connection between the other second hole 3b and the fourth mounting hole 13.
[0052] Example 2: See Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a quick-release drone, including a fuselage 9 and a modular nose section, wherein the modular nose section is detachably connected to the front end of the fuselage 9. The modular nose section and the fuselage 9 can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and different specifications of modular nose sections can be flexibly selected and fitted on the fuselage 9 as needed, increasing the flexibility of the drone's structural design; at the same time, when the modular nose section is damaged, only the modular nose section needs to be repaired or replaced, which is more efficient.
[0053] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a horizontally arranged mounting plate 14 is provided at the front end of the body 9. The mounting plate 14 has four fifth mounting holes 15 arranged in a rectangular array. The bottom of the outer shell 1 of the modular head has four sixth mounting holes 16. The four sixth mounting holes 16 correspond one-to-one with the four fifth mounting holes 15. The corresponding sixth mounting holes 16 and fifth mounting holes 15 are connected by bolts.
[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
