The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] To resolve the above issues, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a hoisting structure, including a connecting component 1 and a hanging part 2. The connecting component 1 forms a mounting position 11, and the frame 31 of the UAV 3 passes through the mounting position 11. The hanging part 2 is disposed between the connecting component 1 and the frame 31. The hanging part 2 extends to the ground surface to form a hanging end 22 for hanging a steel wire rope 4.

[0026] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the connecting components 1 are provided in two sets, arranged in parallel, and are used to securely fasten the corresponding sides of the mounting part 2 to the frame 31 of the drone 3. The two sets of connecting components 1 increase the contact area with the frame 31 of the drone 3, achieving structural tightness and stability, and ensuring that the hoisting structure can withstand greater external forces. The two connecting components 1 are used to tightly and firmly fix the corresponding sides of the mounting part 2 to the frame 31 of the drone 3, avoiding possible shaking and displacement during operation, thereby improving overall stability.

[0027] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the connecting assembly 1 includes a surrounding member 12 and a straight connecting plate 13. The two ends of the surrounding member are detachably connected to the two ends of the straight connecting plate 13, and together form the mounting position 11. The surrounding member 12 is U-shaped, and its two ends are bent and extended to form connecting ends 14, which are connected to the straight connecting plate 13. Both the enclosure 12 and the straight connecting plate 13 are made of high-strength alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure that fatigue fracture will not occur under high load, while ensuring sufficient strength to support the hoisting operation. The enclosure 12 is made of alloy steel or stainless steel and its appearance can be made according to the shape of the frame 31 of the UAV 3, such as a right-angle frame or an arc shape. In this embodiment, the enclosure 12 adopts a right-angle frame shape. The enclosure 12 is installed from the inside of the frame 31 and surrounds the periphery of the frame 31. The straight connecting plate 13 is connected to the connecting end 14 of the enclosure 12 on the outside of the frame 31 with screws, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, efficient and stable. It can withstand a large tensile force during hoisting, and at the same time avoids drilling holes in the frame 31 itself, maintaining its connection strength and ensuring safety during hoisting.

[0028] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting part 2 also includes a U-shaped body 21. The two sides of the U-shaped body 21 are installed at the mounting position 11, with its opening facing away from the ground. The mounting end 22 is located in the middle of the surface of the U-shaped body 21 facing the ground. The U-shaped body 21 is also made of alloy steel or stainless steel, and its two sides are welded to the straight connecting plate 13. The large connection surface between the two improves the connection stability.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the U-shaped main body 21 and the hanging end 22 are integrally formed. This integral formation avoids potential loosening during hoisting, reducing installation complexity and improving the overall strength of the hoisting structure.

[0030] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the hook 22 facing the ground has an installation groove 221. The installation groove 221 is used to install the hanging ring 222, and the hanging ring 222 is used to hook the wire rope 4. One end of the hanging ring 222 has a plug end 223. After the plug end 223 is inserted into the installation groove 221, the gap between the two is welded to strengthen the connection between the two and prevent the hanging ring 222 from falling off during hoisting.

[0031] Reference Figure 3This utility model also proposes a drone 3, with a hoisting structure set on the frame 31 on both sides of the drone 3. The specific structure of this hoisting structure is the same as described in the above embodiments. Since this hoisting structure adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. In use, the surrounding part 12 and the straight connecting plate 13 are installed on both sides of the frame 31 and locked by screws. The two ends of the wire rope 4 are provided with stainless steel spring buckles. In this embodiment, the hoisting structure is used to connect the drone 3 and the hammer 5. The hammer 5 is also provided with a connecting ring 51 corresponding to the wire rope 4. The hammer 5 is used to engage with the photovoltaic panel cleaning cart. Therefore, the wire rope 4 is connected to the hanging ring 222 of the hoisting structure and the connecting ring 51 of the hammer 5 through the spring buckle. After adjusting the length of the wire rope 4, the hammer 5 is in a balanced and naturally hanging state after the drone 3 takes off. In some applications, the hammer 5 can be replaced with other engaging structures.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, a shim 6 is provided between the hoisting structure and the frame 31 of the UAV 3. The main function of the shim 6 is to reduce friction and impact that may occur during hoisting, ensure a tight fit and stability between the hoisting structure and the frame 31, and avoid damage or vibration transmission caused by poor contact. The shim 6 is made of a polymer material with good elasticity and wear resistance, such as polyurethane (PU), silicone, or rubber. These materials can effectively absorb external impact forces and reduce friction between the frame 31 and the hoisting structure, improve assembly accuracy and stability, and increase the friction of the contact surface to prevent the hoisting structure from loosening.

[0033] In summary, the hoisting structure consists of a connecting component 1 and a mounting part 2. The connecting component 1 has a mounting position 11 and is securely connected to the frame 31 of the UAV 3 with screws. The mounting part 2 is responsible for attaching the wire rope 4, ensuring stability and safety during the hoisting process. The installation and disassembly process is simple, which can greatly improve work efficiency without affecting the strength of the hoisting structure. The hoisting structure has strong stability, convenient installation and disassembly, and large load-bearing capacity, which greatly improves the hoisting efficiency and safety of the UAV 3. With different locking structures such as the hammer 5, it is suitable for hoisting operations in various industries.
