Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone accessory equipment technology, and in particular to a drone balloon launching device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the structure for drones carrying materials often uses a cabin or box, which needs to be fixed to the drone. It also requires a door that can be opened and closed, as well as a drive component to move the door. This makes it difficult to reduce production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a drone balloon launching device to solve the problem of high cost of launching modules.

[0015] (1) This utility model uses balloons to load the materials to be scattered, eliminating the need for a specially designed material loading mechanism and reducing production costs. At the same time, the materials can be scattered simply by puncturing the balloons. Since the balloons are large, they can be punctured at any position, thus reducing the control precision requirements of the drive components and further reducing production costs.

[0016] (2) In this utility model, balloons are used to load materials. Compared with other loading mechanisms, the weight of balloons is relatively light and negligible, which reduces the load on the drone, thereby increasing the flight time and maximum speed of the drone.

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a drone balloon launching device is disclosed.

[0026] The present invention relates to a drone balloon launching device, comprising a fixed platform 7, a support rod, a balloon fixing part 5, a balloon 6, and a needle-piercing assembly.

[0027] The fixed platform 7 is used to fix the drone balloon launching device of this utility model onto the drone.

[0028] Two support rods are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The support rods are fixedly installed below the fixed platform 7. A balloon fixing part 5, with its opening facing downwards, is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rods. The balloon fixing part 5 is a hemispherical groove and is fixedly installed between the two support rods. A balloon 6 is placed inside the balloon fixing part 5 and is used to load the material to be released. A needle-punching assembly is used to puncture the balloon 6 and release the material to the target location.

[0029] The needle-piercing assembly includes a drive element 1, a swing rod 3, and a needle (not shown in the figure). The drive element 1 is mounted on a support rod, the swing rod 3 is located at the output end of the drive element 1, and the needle is located at the end of the swing rod 3. The drive element 1 can drive the swing rod 3 to swing so that the needle punctures the balloon 6.

[0030] The swing lever 3 is an L-shaped lever. The swing lever 3 can also be other shapes or structures, as long as it can puncture the balloon with a needle within its stroke range.

[0031] A mounting slot 2 is provided on the middle side of the support rod, and the drive element 1 is installed in the mounting slot 2. This arrangement can better protect the drive element 1 and extend its service life.

[0032] The end of the swing rod 3 is provided with a needle groove 4, and the needle is placed in the needle groove 4. This arrangement can better fix the needle, with only the needle tip exposed, to avoid breakage due to impact.

[0033] A needle is a strip-shaped, sheet-shaped, or cone-shaped element with a pointed tip. It can be not limited to conventional needles, but can also be other shapes of elements with pointed tips. Blades can also be used instead of needles.

[0034] The needle is made of metal or hard plastic.

[0035] Balloon 6 is secured to the balloon fixing part 5 using AB glue. Other types of glue can also be used. The AB glue can be applied to the top or bottom of the hemispherical groove in the balloon fixing part 5, evenly distributed circumferentially. Multiple glue strips extending from the top to the bottom of the hemispherical groove can also be used to ensure that balloon 6 is stably secured within the balloon fixing part 5 and will not fall off.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, after the balloon 6 is filled with leaflets or other materials, it is installed on the balloon fixing part 5. When the driving element 1 rotates, the swing rod 3 rotates with the driving element 1. When the needle punctures the balloon 6, the balloon 6 is punctured and bursts, and then the leaflets or other materials inside fall freely.

[0037] In the preferred solution, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the balloon fixing part 5 is provided with multiple circular through holes. In this embodiment, three circular through holes are provided. By providing these circular through holes, the overall weight can be reduced, and negative pressure adhesion between the balloon and the balloon fixing part 5 can be avoided, making it difficult to remove.

[0038] The method of using this utility model is as follows: First, manually load the leaflets into the balloon 6. After the balloon 6 is fully inflated, fix it to the balloon fixing part 5. When it is necessary to release the leaflets, the drone turns on the searchlight. After the photoresistor receives the light signal, the microcontroller controls the drive element 1 to rotate the swing rod 3 to pop the balloon 6, thereby releasing the leaflets inside the balloon 6.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the drone balloon dispersing device provided in this embodiment uses balloons to load the materials to be dispersed, eliminating the need for a specially designed material loading mechanism and reducing production costs. At the same time, the material can be dispersed simply by puncturing the balloon. Since the balloon is large, it can be punctured at any position, thus reducing the control precision requirements of the drive components and further reducing production costs.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
