Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drone accessories, and more specifically to a multifunctional foam protective cover for drones. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of drones in inspection, surveying, and low-altitude operations, the operating environments often involve confined spaces and complex obstacle scenarios (such as factory inspections and urban building surveying), significantly increasing the collision risk during drone flight. Existing drone protection largely relies on the structural strength of the fuselage or simple protective sleeves. These methods are either too heavy or fail to provide effective and targeted protection for critical components such as rotors and fuselages, easily causing damage to the drone upon collision and affecting operational endurance and equipment lifespan. Existing protection solutions are insufficient in adapting to drone structures, balancing protection with lightweight design, ensuring stable and easy assembly and disassembly, and integrating multiple functions, failing to meet the demands for efficient and safe drone operations in complex scenarios.

[0003] Addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention focuses on foam protective covers for drones. Its core innovation lies in providing effective protection for drones in complex operating environments through precise structural adaptation, selection of lightweight and highly cushioning foam materials, combined with a stable and easy-to-assemble / disassemble design and the possibility of multi-functional integration, thus helping drones to perform tasks stably and safely.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1-3As shown, a multifunctional foam protective cover for a drone includes four fixing buckles 100 fixed to the arm of the drone 500, two foam strips 200 disposed on the left and right sides of the drone 500, a collision shield 300 located above the drone 500 and connected to the four fixing buckles 100, and a collision foot 400 located below the drone and connected to the four fixing buckles 100; each foam strip 200 cooperates with two fixing buckles 100.

[0039] This product is mainly applicable to various existing quadcopter drones.

[0040] The fixing buckle 100 consists of a fixing buckle body 101, an upper connecting seam 102 on the upper side of the fixing buckle body 101, an installation groove 103 horizontally disposed in the middle of the inner side of the fixing buckle body 101, a lower fixing groove 104 disposed in the lower part of the inner side of the fixing buckle body 101, a connecting rod 105 with one end disposed at the bottom of the installation groove 103 and the other end fixed on the arm of the UAV 500, and an arc-shaped limiting strip 106 horizontally disposed and fixed to the bottom of the installation groove 103 by screws.

[0041] The foam strip 200 consists of a corrugated strip 201 and a coating 202 disposed on the surface of the corrugated strip 201.

[0042] The corrugated strip 201 is made of foam material, and the undulation of the corrugated strip 201 is coordinated with the rotor of the UAV 500; the coating 202 is any one or more of the following: antistatic coating, anti-corrosion coating, reflective coating, and luminous coating.

[0043] Made of low-density, highly elastic foam material, with a density controlled between 0.03-0.06 g / cm³. 3 It maintains good flexibility while possessing excellent cushioning and energy absorption properties. When subjected to impact, the foam material can absorb energy through its own deformation. Tests have shown that at an impact speed of 3m / s, it can reduce the impact force by 78%, effectively protecting the drone itself.

[0044] Different coatings give corrugated strips different effects. For example, an antistatic coating prevents static electricity from forming on the surface, effectively preventing dust from being attracted to the strip in dusty areas. An anti-corrosion coating improves the corrosion resistance of the strip, further extending its service life. Reflective and luminous coatings effectively improve the overall visibility of the drone at night. Those skilled in the art can select coatings according to actual usage needs, but it should be noted that when applying multiple coatings, the reflective or luminous coating should be placed on the outermost layer.

[0045] The front and rear sections of the wave strip 201 are respectively disposed in the mounting grooves 103 of the two fixing buckle bodies 101. The wave strip 201 is sandwiched between the fixing buckle body 101 and the arc-shaped limiting strip 106, and the wave strip 201 is penetrated by the connecting rod 105.

[0046] To improve the fixing effect of the corrugated strip, glue can be applied to the mounting groove to further reduce the installation difficulty of the corrugated strip and improve the stability of the fixing.

[0047] The arc-shaped limiting strip can support the corrugated strip, preventing it from bending inward when subjected to external force. This effectively prevents the corrugated strip from rubbing against the rotor when it deforms, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the rotor operation.

[0048] The anti-collision cover 300 consists of a connecting block 301 located above the drone 500, and four upper connecting strips 302 whose upper ends are fixed to the upper connecting seams 102 of the four fixing buckles 100 respectively.

[0049] In the event of a collision, the bumper can first reduce the impact force by deforming. It will only shatter when the impact force exceeds its tolerance limit. Therefore, the upper side of the drone will not be affected by the collision before the bumper is damaged.

[0050] The anti-collision foot 400 consists of four lower connecting strips 401 whose front ends are respectively fixed in four lower fixing grooves 104, four connecting feet 402 respectively fixed at the rear ends of the four lower connecting strips 401, and two U-shaped connecting strips 403 whose two ends are respectively fixed on any two adjacent connecting feet 402; the middle part of the U-shaped connecting strip 403 is fixed to the lower side of the UAV 500.

[0051] The positions of the two U-shaped connecting strips 403 correspond to the positions of the two wavy strips 201.

[0052] The weight of the above-mentioned products is approximately 80-120g, and their impact on drone battery life is less than 3%. No complicated installation tools are required for loading and unloading, effectively meeting the safe operation requirements of drones in complex indoor and outdoor environments. They are widely applicable to various types of drones, including consumer and industrial drones.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the lower side of the U-shaped connecting strip 403 is also provided with an elastic rubber foot, and the plane where the lowest point of the elastic rubber foot is located is higher than or equal to the plane where the lowest point of the connecting foot 402 is located.

[0055] By incorporating elastic rubber feet, the cushioning effect during drone landing can be further improved, thereby reducing the impact on the drone body and its internal components during takeoff and landing.

[0056] It should be noted that all features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all methods or processes disclosed, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0057] Furthermore, the specific embodiments described above are exemplary. Those skilled in the art can devise various solutions inspired by the disclosure of this utility model, and these solutions all fall within the scope of this utility model and its protection. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model specification and its drawings are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
