[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a high-precision attitude stabilization device for a drone. This device includes a drone body 1, with symmetrically distributed drone wings 101 at its four corners. A drone control unit 102 is also mounted on the drone body 1. A drone support 2 is fixedly mounted on the drone body 1. A guide base 3 is fixedly mounted on the drone support 2 below the drone body 1. A threaded slide 6 driven by a drive component is located above the guide base 3. An adjustment tank frame 4 arranged in a circular array around the threaded slide 6 is also provided on the guide base 3. A counterweight slot 401 is provided at one end of the adjustment tank frame 4 below the guide base 3. A counterweight liquid tank 5 filled with counterweight liquid is detachably installed on the adjustment tank frame 4 through the counterweight slot 401. A connecting rod 7 is provided between the adjustment tank frame 4 and the threaded slide 6. One end of the connecting rod 7 is connected to the corresponding adjustment tank 5. The tank frame 4 is hinged together, and the other end of the connecting rod 7 is hinged to the outside of the threaded slide 6. The connecting rod 7 is arranged in a ring array around the threaded slide 6. The UAV body 1 is the main structure of the UAV. The motor on the UAV wing 101 drives the propeller blades to provide lift and control the flight attitude. The UAV control body 102 is the flight control system of the UAV. It is responsible for processing flight commands and sensor data, and provides the circuit hardware foundation for high-precision attitude stable flight. The UAV bracket 2 is installed on the UAV body 1 and provides support during landing. The threaded slide 6 can drive the adjustable tank frame 4 to move on the guide base through the connecting rod 7. The adjustable tank frame 4 is installed on the guide base 3 and is used to support the counterweight liquid tank 5. By controlling the gravity and position contraction and convergence of the counterweight liquid in the counterweight liquid tank 5, the center of gravity position of the UAV can be quickly and precisely adjusted to adapt to different flight conditions and load requirements.

[0033] The driving component includes a motor 9 fixedly installed in the drone body 1 and electrically connected to the drone control body 102. The output shaft of the motor 9 is driven by a screw 10. The end of the screw 10 away from the motor 9 is rotatably connected to the guide base 3. The threaded slide 6 is located between the drone body 1 and the guide base 3 and is threadedly connected to the screw 10. The screw 10 can be driven by the motor 9 to rotate on the guide base 3, so that the threaded slide 6 moves between the drone body 1 and the guide base 3 along the axial direction of the screw 10.

[0034] The guide base 3 has a sliding groove 301 for limiting the sliding of the adjustable can rack 4. The outer side of the adjustable can rack 4 has an assembly groove 402 that matches the sliding groove 301. The adjustable can rack 4 is detached and installed in the sliding groove 301 through the assembly groove 402. The sliding groove 301 can limit the sliding of the adjustable can rack 4, causing it to move together or apart. The assembly groove 402 can cooperate with the sliding groove 301 to realize the installation and removal of the adjustable can rack 4.

[0035] One end of the connecting rod 7 near the guide base 3 is hinged to one end of the adjusting tank frame 4 protruding from the slide groove 301. The adjusting tank frame 4 has a clearance groove 403 for the connecting rod 7 to avoid interference. The connecting rod 7 can connect multiple sets of adjusting tank frames 4 and threaded slides 6 and transmit motion. The clearance groove 403 is used to avoid interference with the connecting rod 7 when it deflects.

[0036] The inner side of the drone support 2 is provided with an arc-shaped slot 201 that is compatible with the guide base 3. The guide base 3 is installed and removed from the drone support 2 through the arc-shaped slot 201. One end of the drone support 2 is provided with symmetrically distributed moving wheels 202 on both sides of the drone body 1. The drone support 2 can install or remove the guide base 3 through the arc-shaped slot 201. The moving wheels 202 are used for ground movement and positioning of the drone.

[0037] Each counterweight liquid tank 5 has a drain valve 501 fixedly installed at its bottom end, which is electrically connected to the UAV control body 102. The drain valve 501 is connected to the corresponding counterweight liquid tank 5. A miniature liquid pump 502, which is electrically connected to the UAV control body 102, is also fixedly installed on the counterweight liquid tank 5. In an emergency, the drain valve 501 can be controlled by the UAV control body 102 to discharge the liquid inside the counterweight liquid tank 5. The miniature liquid pump 502 is used to control the replenishment of the liquid inside the counterweight liquid tank 5.

[0038] A liquid supply tank 8 is also fixedly installed on the guide base 3. A replenishment valve 801 connected to the liquid supply tank 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the liquid supply tank 8. The liquid supply tank 8 is also provided with a ring array of infusion hoses 802. One end of the infusion hose 802 protruding from the liquid supply tank 8 is connected to the corresponding micro liquid pump 502. The liquid supply tank 8 stores the counterweight liquid for use in the counterweight liquid tank 5. The replenishment valve 801 controls the replenishment of the liquid inside the liquid supply tank 8. The infusion hose 802 is threaded in the normal state and is responsible for connecting the micro liquid pump 502 and the counterweight liquid tank 5 to transport the liquid in the liquid supply tank 8.

[0039] During use, the UAV body 1 uses motors on its symmetrically distributed wings 101 to drive propeller blades, providing lift and controlling flight attitude. The UAV control body 102, as the flight control system, processes flight commands and sensor data, providing the necessary circuit hardware foundation for stable flight. When attitude stabilization is required, the UAV control body 102 controls the motor 9 to drive the screw 10 to rotate on the guide base 3, causing the threaded slide 6 to move between the UAV body 1 and the guide base 3 along the axis of the screw 10. Through the rotation of the connecting rod 7, the adjusting tank frame 4 is driven to slide on the guide base 3, controlling the contraction and convergence of the weight and position of the counterweight liquid in the counterweight liquid tank 5, and quickly and precisely adjusting the center of gravity position of the UAV.

[0040] During this process, the adjustment tank rack 4 is equipped with a clearance groove 403 to avoid interference with the connecting rod 7. At the same time, in case of strong winds or other emergencies, the UAV control unit 102 controls the drain valve 501 on the corresponding counterweight liquid tank 5 to quickly discharge the liquid in the corresponding counterweight liquid tank 5, thereby changing the weight of a single counterweight liquid tank 5, adjusting the center of gravity of the UAV, and affecting its flight attitude. In addition, the micro liquid pump 502 can precisely control the liquid delivery volume and speed, thereby precisely controlling the distribution of the counterweight liquid in the supply tank 8 through the delivery hose 802. The UAV can adapt to different flight conditions and load changes without human intervention.

[0041] The guide base 3 is provided with a sliding groove 301 to restrict the sliding of the adjustable tank frame 4, and the adjustable tank frame 4 is installed and disassembled through the assembly groove 402 that is compatible with the sliding groove 301. The guide base 3 is installed or disassembled through the arc-shaped slot 201 on the drone bracket 2, which facilitates the long-term use and maintenance of the device.

[0042] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution 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 solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
