Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipment technology, and specifically relates to a land-to-air control conversion and operation device for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of drone technology and the continuous expansion of its application fields, drones have been widely used in various industries, including but not limited to agricultural monitoring, disaster assessment, geographic mapping, security monitoring, and express delivery services. However, traditional drones can usually only operate in the air, which limits their application scenarios to some extent. For example, in urban environments, finding suitable take-off and landing locations can be very difficult due to factors such as dense buildings and crisscrossing power lines; similarly, drone take-off and landing may also face challenges in areas with complex terrain or numerous obstacles.

[0003] Most drones on the market require manual operation for switching between land and air modes, which is very inconvenient to use. When adding land and air equipment, since these devices are mostly designed independently by different manufacturers for different products, they cannot be installed on different drones. Therefore, to solve the above problems, we propose a land-to-air control and switching device for drones. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a land-to-air control switching device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Its advantages are that it uses an adhesive tape method for easy installation of different UAV models and facilitates ground-based operation by setting up a land tire device.

[0006] The above technical solution is adopted as follows: by setting a left side plate and a right side plate, it is easy to place the drone. Straps are set on both sides of the left side plate and the right side plate for fixation. Threaded posts are set at the bottom of the bottom plate. The surface of the threaded posts is installed and fixed to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder. By starting the first motor, the rotating rod starts to drive the rotating gear to provide rotational power, which drives the auxiliary gear to drive the steering tire to rotate. The second motor is started to drive the rotating rod, which drives the belt to run, so that the auxiliary rod rotates to provide power, and the power tire moves.

[0007] The present invention is further provided that the left side plate is sewn together with a left side strap.

[0008] The above technical solution involves securing the drone by placing it inside the left and right side panels using a left-side strap.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that the right side plate is stitched together with a right side tie.

[0010] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a right side plate, after the drone is placed in, the right side strap is adjusted to be glued to the left side strap to fix the drone.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an assist gear meshes with the surface of the rotating gear.

[0012] The above technical solution is adopted by setting an assist gear, which provides rotational power after the rotating gear has been running.

[0013] The present invention is further provided that a T-shaped rod is welded to the bottom of the assist gear.

[0014] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting a T-shaped rod, after the assist gear is driven by the rotating gear, the assist gear drives the T-shaped rod to adjust the rotation angle.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that steering tires are bolted to both ends of the T-shaped rod.

[0016] The above technical solution involves setting up a steering tire. After the rotating gear runs, it drives the power assist gear to rotate as well, allowing the T-shaped rod to adjust the angle of the steering tire.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a belt is sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod, an auxiliary rod is sleeved on the inner wall of the back of the belt, and a power tire is bolted to both ends of the auxiliary rod.

[0018] The above technical solution involves using a rotating rod to drive a belt, which allows the auxiliary rod to rotate, thereby providing power to the drive tire.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that an auxiliary shaft is bolted below the front assist gear of the chassis, and the inner wall of the auxiliary shaft is slidably fitted and connected to the surface of the T-shaped rod.

[0020] The above technical solution provides an auxiliary shaft to facilitate the installation of the T-shaped rod and to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the T-shaped rod.
