Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hoisting devices, and in particular to a rope separator. Background Technology

[0002] There are many problems in the process of bamboo felling and transportation in the mountains and forests. For example, the terrain of the mountains and forests is undulating, and manual or equipment transportation has to be carried out along the mountain roads, which is inefficient. Building temporary roads or boardwalks requires cutting down vegetation and blasting rocks, which leads to soil erosion and ecological imbalance.

[0003] With the maturation of drone technology, its application in bamboo harvesting and transportation in mountainous areas has significantly alleviated the problems of terrain limitations, low efficiency, and ecological damage associated with traditional methods. In bamboo harvesting and transportation, drones utilize a winch mounted on their bottom. A rope is wound around the winch, and the lower end of the rope is connected to multiple branch ropes via a rope divider. The lower ends of these branch ropes are used to tie the bamboo. During transport, each branch rope is connected to a bamboo stalk. After the winch rewinds the rope, the drone transports the bamboo along a predetermined flight path.

[0004] Multiple bamboo stalks can be secured to the rope separator via multiple branch ropes, thereby increasing the amount of bamboo that can be transported. However, during drone flight, these multiple branch ropes are prone to swaying, which can easily affect the stability of the drone's flight. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the impact on the stability of the drone during flight, this application provides a rope splitter.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] A rope splitter includes a rope splitter body, a plurality of branch ropes connected to the rope splitter body, and a lifting part disposed on the rope splitter body. A positioning plate is disposed on the side of the rope splitter body opposite to the lifting part. A locking mechanism is installed on the rope splitter body. The positioning plate is detachably connected to the positioning plate through the locking mechanism. A plurality of through holes are opened on the positioning plate, and the branch ropes are passed through the through holes one by one.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning disc can be installed on the lower surface of the rope splitter body through a locking structure. After all the support ropes are connected to the bamboo, the positioning disc is released through the locking mechanism. The positioning disc can then slide vertically downwards and slide to the end closest to the bamboo, thereby connecting the support ropes into a whole and reducing the swaying of the support ropes during the flight of the drone.

[0009] Optionally, the rope separator body has a mounting groove, and the locking mechanism includes two locking rods hinged in the mounting groove and a drive source mounted on the rope separator body for driving the upper ends of the locking rods away from each other; the positioning plate has a slot for the locking rods to pass through, and the lower end of the locking rod is provided with an outwardly bent section. The rope separator body is provided with an elastic element. When the locking rod passes through the slot, the elastic element drives the bent section to abut against the lower surface of the positioning plate. When the drive source drives the upper ends of the locking rods away from each other, the lower ends of the locking rods move closer together, and the elastic element is compressed.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the lower ends of the two locking rods are in an open state in their natural state, so that the bent section abuts against the lower surface of the positioning plate, thereby connecting the positioning plate and the rope separator body together; when the drive source drives the upper ends of the locking rods to move away from each other, the lower ends of the locking rods can move closer to each other, thereby allowing the positioning plate to separate from the rope separator body and move downward.

[0011] Optionally, the driving source includes a first element disposed on the rope separator body and an abutment block connected to the first element. The first element is used to drive the abutment block to move up and down, so that the abutment block can abut against the space between the upper ends of the two locking rods and drive the upper ends of the locking rods to move away from each other.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first element drives the abutment block to move downward, which can then spread the upper ends of the two locking rods apart, thereby releasing the positioning disc from the lower end of the locking rod.

[0013] Optionally, the abutting block has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the abutment block has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, making it easier to push the locking lever open.

[0015] Optionally, multiple locking mechanisms are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rope separator body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple locking mechanisms are set up to improve the positioning effect of the positioning plate.

[0017] Optionally, the rope separator body has an upwardly extending base at its center, and the lifting part includes a lifting ring rotatably connected to the base.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting ring is rotatably installed on the base. When the rope separator body rotates, the force acting on the lifting ring can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact on the stability of the UAV during flight.

[0019] Optionally, reinforcing ribs are provided between the base and the surface of the rope separator body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the stability of the rope separator body is improved.

[0021] Optionally, the upper surface of the rope separator body is provided with a frame, the inner cavity of the frame is connected to the mounting groove, the first element is installed on the frame, the abutment block is located in the inner cavity of the frame, and the elastic element is installed between the inner wall of the frame and the locking rod.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the first component becomes more convenient.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. By detachably installing a positioning plate at the bottom of the rope splitter body, the positioning plate is released through a locking mechanism during flight. The positioning plate slides down, thereby connecting multiple support ropes together, which reduces the swaying of the support ropes during drone flight and improves the stability of the drone during flight.

[0025] 2. The positioning disc can be released by driving the two locking rods through the abutment block. The structure is simple and the control is convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This application discloses a rope separator. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The rope splitter includes a rope splitter body 1 and multiple branch ropes 2 connected to the lower surface of the rope splitter body 1. A lifting part 3 is installed on the upper surface of the rope splitter body 1, and the hoisting device of the UAV is connected to the lifting part 3 through the lifting ropes. A positioning plate 4 is detachably installed on the lower surface of the rope splitter body 1. The positioning plate 4 has through holes 6, which correspond one-to-one with the branch ropes 2, and the branch ropes 2 pass through the through holes 6.

[0032] The rope separator body 1 is equipped with a locking mechanism 5, which is used to position the positioning disc 4. When the support rope 2 is connected to the bamboo, the locking mechanism 5 releases the positioning disc 4 during hoisting, and then the positioning disc 4 can slide down and slide to the lower end of the support rope 2, thereby forming multiple support ropes 2 into a whole, thus reducing the situation where the support rope 2 sways alone during flight.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rope separator body 1 has a mounting groove 7. The locking mechanism 5 includes two locking rods 51 rotatably connected in the mounting groove 7 and a drive source 52 mounted on the rope separator body 1 to drive the upper ends of the locking rods 51 away from each other. The locking rods 51 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 7 by means of pins or the like. The positioning plate 4 has a slot 8, and the lower end of the locking rods 51 is provided with an outwardly bent section 9, so that the lower ends of the two locking rods 51 form a downwardly flared structure.

[0034] An elastic element 10 is installed between the rope separator body 1 and the locking rod 51. When the lower end of the locking rod 51 passes through the slot 8, the bending part can abut against the lower surface of the positioning disk 4 under the action of the elastic element 10. Under the limiting action of the bending part, the positioning disk 4 is connected to the lower surface of the rope separator body 1. When it is necessary to release the positioning disk 4, the drive source 52 can drive the upper ends of the two locking rods 51 to move away from each other, so that the lower ends of the locking rods 51 move closer to each other, the bending part can separate from the bottom of the positioning disk 4, and the positioning disk 4 can fall downward. Furthermore, in order to improve the stability of positioning the positioning disk 4, three locking mechanisms 5 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3A frame 13 is fixed to the upper surface of the rope separator body 1 and is located above the mounting groove 7. The frame 13 has a cavity that communicates with the mounting groove 7. The drive source 52 includes a first element 521 mounted on the upper end of the frame 13 and an abutment block 522 connected to the first element 521. The first element 521 is preferably an electric telescopic cylinder. The abutment block 522 is connected to the piston rod of the electric telescopic rod and is located in the cavity of the frame 13, thereby causing the first element 521 to drive the abutment block 522 to move up and down in the cavity of the frame 13. In other embodiments, the first element 521 can also be any device capable of driving the abutment block 522 to move up and down. The abutment block 522 has a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom and is located above the two locking rods 51. When the positioning disc 4 needs to be released, the first element 521 drives the abutment block 522 to move downward and pushes the locking rod 51 to rotate to both sides. The elastic element 10 is compressed, and the lower ends of the locking rods 51 move closer to each other, thereby releasing the positioning disc 4. When the positioning disc 4 needs to be installed below the rope separator body 1, the abutment block 522 moves upward, and the elastic element 10 drives the locking rod 51 to reset, so that the bent section 9 repositions the positioning disc 4.

[0036] Furthermore, the elastic element 10 is a spring, with one end connected to the opposite side of the locking lever 51 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the frame 13. The spring provides a resetting force for the locking lever 51.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A base 11 is fixed to the upper surface of the rope separator body 1. The base 11 and the rope separator body 1 are coaxially arranged, and the base 11 has a cylindrical structure. Multiple reinforcing ribs 12 are fixed between the base 11 and the surface of the rope separator body 1 to improve the overall structural strength. The lifting part 3 is a lifting ring 31. A rotating shaft is fixed to the bottom of the lifting ring 31, and the lifting ring 31 is rotatably connected to the base 11 through the rotating shaft. The lifting ring 31 is connected to the hoisting device of the UAV through a lifting rope. The rotatable connection method can be an existing bearing, ring-groove fit, etc., and the specific rotatable device is not limited in this embodiment.

[0038] The implementation principle of a rope splitter according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the support rope 2 is used to connect with the bamboo, the drone is connected to the rope splitter body 1 through the lifting part 3, after the drone takes off, the first element 521 drives the abutment block 522 to move, so that the locking mechanism 5 releases the positioning disk 4, the positioning disk 4 falls downward, so that the positioning disk 4 forms multiple support ropes 2 into a whole, reducing the swaying of the support ropes 2 during the hoisting process.

[0039] 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.
