Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone connectors, and more particularly to an integrated connector for connecting the drone fuselage and landing gear. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones are increasingly widely used in various fields such as aerial photography, logistics, agriculture, surveying and mapping, and rescue. The drone's fuselage and landing gear are key components that ensure stable takeoff, landing, and operation, and their connection method directly affects the drone's overall performance, stability, and service life.

[0003] Traditional drone fuselage and landing gear connections primarily employ separate connectors, where the fuselage and landing gear are fixed together using multiple independent connecting parts. While this method achieves a certain level of connectivity, it still has many shortcomings in practical applications. Separate connectors are susceptible to vibration, impact, and other external forces during use, leading to loosening or detachment. To ensure connection strength, separate connectors typically require a significant amount of metal material, increasing the overall weight of the drone and impacting its endurance and payload capacity. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an integrated connector for connecting the drone fuselage and landing gear to address the problems mentioned in the background section.
