Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of racing drones, specifically a land-air compatible racing drone. Background Technology

[0002] Existing racing drones only have an aerial flight mode and cannot operate on land. During missions, users often face a dilemma due to differences in mission distance or payload: to increase payload capacity, they want to reduce battery weight; however, for longer endurance, they need large-capacity batteries. However, because batteries come in various sizes, existing racing drones often cannot securely hold batteries of different sizes. Furthermore, poor heat dissipation on the circuit board is also a problem that urgently needs to be solved. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a land-and-air compatible racing drone to address these technical issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a land-air compatible racing drone.

[0004] This utility model provides a land-air compatible racing vehicle, including a vehicle body that walks on land. A frame is installed on the top of the vehicle body, and drive motors are installed at the four corners of the frame. A propeller is fixed to the output shaft end of each drive motor. The drive motors installed at the four corners provide the power required for flight and land movement through the propellers at the output shaft ends. The frame includes a top plate, one end of which is equipped with a monitoring component. The top plate has several horizontal and vertical mounting slots. A square battery is placed on top of the top plate. The square battery is connected to the top plate laterally via horizontal restraint straps and longitudinally via vertical restraint straps. Both the ends of the horizontal and vertical restraint straps are fitted with hook and loop fasteners. These straps are installed within the horizontal and vertical mounting slots, respectively, effectively securing the square battery horizontally and vertically. Since there are multiple horizontal and vertical mounting slots, it is suitable for square batteries of different sizes. A circuit board is installed inside the frame, connecting to the square battery and drive motor wires, and is responsible for controlling the motor's operation and energy distribution.

[0005] Both textured and hook-and-loop fasteners facilitate the installation and removal of longitudinal and transverse restraint straps.

[0006] Preferably, the frame further includes a base plate and four connecting arms fixed between the base plate and the top plate, with the drive motor fixed to the end of the connecting arms. These components together support the drive motor and the propeller.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting plate is provided directly below the circuit board, and mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the circuit board and the four corners of the connecting plate. Sleeves are provided at the four corners between the connecting plate and the circuit board, and the sleeves are positioned directly opposite the mounting holes. A threaded groove is provided on the base plate, and screws that mate with the threaded groove are installed in the mounting holes. The circuit board, sleeves, connecting plate and base plate are fixedly connected by screws.

[0008] The sleeve design allows the circuit board to be suspended, facilitating heat dissipation.

[0009] Preferably, the monitoring component includes a U-shaped frame fixed to one end of the top plate, an angle adjustment motor, and a camera. The angle adjustment motor is fixed to one side of the U-shaped frame, and the camera is fixed to the output shaft of the angle adjustment motor. The angle of the camera can be adjusted by the angle adjustment motor.

[0010] Preferably, the camera is installed inside the U-shaped frame, and the side of the U-shaped frame away from the angle adjustment motor is provided with an arc-shaped groove. A limit rod is fixed to the side wall of the camera and is installed in the arc-shaped groove. The camera moves within the arc-shaped groove of the U-shaped frame by means of the limit rod, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the shooting angle.

[0011] Compared with related technologies, the present invention provides the following beneficial effects:

[0012] High integration and versatility:

[0013] This racing drone perfectly integrates land walking and aerial flight capabilities. With drive motors and propellers installed at its four corners, it can move flexibly on the ground and take off quickly for aerial reconnaissance or photography, greatly improving the applicability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0014] Flexible energy management:

[0015] The square battery is connected to the top plate by horizontal and vertical restraint straps. This design not only ensures the stability of the battery, but also allows batteries of different sizes to be effectively fixed through the flexible combination of Velcro and mounting slots, providing a flexible energy management solution for racing drones.

[0016] Modular design facilitates maintenance and upgrades:

[0017] The rack design adopts a modular approach. For example, the circuit board is fixed to the base plate via connecting plates, sleeves, and screws. This design facilitates heat dissipation and subsequent maintenance of the circuit board. Meanwhile, the monitoring components also feature a detachable design, with the camera angle adjusted via an angle-adjusting motor, allowing users to easily upgrade or replace functions according to their actual needs.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Please refer to 1- Figure 5 This is a land-air hybrid racing drone, designed to combine the capabilities of flight and land mobility. The core of this drone is the chassis 1, which not only supports ground movement but also has a frame 2 mounted on top. Each of the four corners of the frame 2 is equipped with a drive motor 3, and a propeller 4 is fixed to the output shaft of each motor. Powered by these propellers, the drone can achieve both flight and ground mobility.

[0026] The rack 2 includes a top plate 5, one end of which is equipped with a monitoring component 6. The top plate 5 itself is equipped with multiple lateral mounting slots 7 and longitudinal mounting slots 8 for placing and securing square batteries 9. The batteries are connected to the top plate 5 via lateral binding straps 11 and longitudinal binding straps 10. Both types of binding straps are equipped with hook and loop fasteners 12 and hook and loop fasteners 13 at their ends, allowing for easy installation and removal. These binding straps pass through the lateral mounting slots 7 and longitudinal mounting slots 8, respectively, ensuring a secure lateral and longitudinal fixation of the square batteries 9. The presence of multiple sets of such mounting slots allows for the adaptation of batteries of different sizes.

[0027] Inside the frame 2, a circuit board 14 is installed. This circuit board controls the operation of the drive motor 3 and the energy distribution, and is wired to the square battery 9. To further enhance structural stability, the frame 2 also includes a base plate 15, which is supported by four connecting arms 16 between the base plate 15 and the top plate 5. The drive motor 3 is fixed to the ends of these connecting arms. In addition, a connecting plate 17 is provided below the circuit board 14, and the two are spaced apart by sleeves 18 at the four corners, which helps to dissipate heat from the circuit board. The entire device is secured by screws 19 passing through mounting holes and threaded grooves.

[0028] The monitoring component 6 consists of a U-shaped frame 20, an angle adjustment motor 21, and a camera 22. The angle adjustment motor 21 is fixed to one side of the U-shaped frame 20, and the camera 22 is mounted on its output shaft. The U-shaped frame 20 has an arc-shaped groove 23 on the side away from the motor, and the limiting rod 24 on the side of the camera 22 is located in this groove, which ensures the stability and accuracy of the angle during shooting.

[0029] It is worth noting that this land-air compatible racing drone requires a remote controller and FPV goggles for better user control. The steering and walking functions of vehicle 1 are relatively mature technologies and will not be discussed in detail here. Through this series of carefully designed components and their interoperability, the racing drone achieves multi-functional operation, allowing it to soar freely in the air and move flexibly on the ground. The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
