Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a quick-release mounting platform for UAVs. Background Technology

[0002] A drone mounting platform is a platform used to mount drones, typically a device or structure for mounting various equipment or payloads.

[0003] The problem with existing technology is that when mounting a platform plate on a surveying drone, the mounting blocks at both ends of the platform plate are usually screwed onto the drone, and then the object to be mounted is mounted on the platform for use.

[0004] This makes the assembly and disassembly of the platform and drone quite cumbersome, requiring special tools to complete. Moreover, in order to assemble mounting platforms of different sizes, it is also necessary to match the pre-set screw holes on the drone, which is obviously putting the cart before the horse and limiting the applicability of the mounting platform.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a mounting platform that can adapt to different models of drones and enable rapid and stable assembly of structures. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this invention provides a quick-release mounting platform for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a quick-release mounting platform for a drone, the mounting platform including a platform panel and at least one pair of locking mechanisms that are detachably connected to the upper pole-shaped part of the drone. The platform panel is provided with a plurality of equipment mounting holes. The locking mechanism includes a base, a limiting member, a movable claw member and an operating handle. The base includes a stationary claw part and a connecting platform part that is detachably connected to the platform panel. The stationary claw part is provided with a first groove and a first mounting slot on the side away from the platform panel.

[0008] The limiting member includes a mating end and an operating end. The cross-sectional shape of the mating end is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the first mounting slot and is detachably assembled in the first mounting slot. The middle section of the limiting member is provided with a sliding limiting elongated circular groove along the length direction, and the operating end is provided with a rotation limiting elongated circular groove perpendicular to the direction of the sliding limiting elongated circular groove.

[0009] The movable claw is provided with a first sliding groove that matches the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member, and is fitted onto the limiting member for sliding engagement. The movable claw is provided with a first pin hole, a first pin, and a second groove whose sliding path coincides with the sliding limiting elongated through groove. The first pin passes through the first pin hole and the sliding limiting elongated through groove, and the openings of the second groove and the first groove are opposite to each other.

[0010] The operating handle includes a handle portion and a hinge portion. The hinge portion is provided with an eccentric hole whose rotation path coincides with the rotation limiting elongated circular groove, a second mounting slot adapted to the shape of the operating end, and a second pin. The second pin passes through the eccentric hole, the second mounting slot, and the rotation limiting elongated circular groove.

[0011] The handle drives the hinge to rotate, and the second pin in the eccentric hole moves along the rotation limit elongated through groove, turning the rotation of the hinge into a deflection motion that moves closer to or away from the movable claw. The contact between the hinge and the movable claw drives the first groove and the second groove to move closer to each other and lock the rod-shaped part of the drone.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the part of the movable claw that contacts the hinge joint is provided with an arc-shaped groove that matches the outer contour shape of the hinge joint, and the arc-shaped groove slides in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the hinge joint.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that a spring hole and a spring are provided along the length direction on the end face of the insertion end of the limiting member, extending into the sliding limiting elongated groove. The spring is compressed in the spring hole and pushes the first pin to slide towards the operating end.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the mating end and the corresponding position in the first mounting slot are coaxially provided with a first screw through hole and a second screw through hole, and the mating end and the first mounting slot are fixed by a first screw; the stationary claw part is coaxially provided with a third screw through hole and a second screw at the position corresponding to the spring hole of the limiting member, the second screw passes through the third screw through hole and its end closes the spring hole to abut against the spring.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the platform panel and the connecting platform are provided with several mounting through holes or fourth screw through holes at corresponding positions, and are fixed by bolts or screws.

[0016] A further feature of this invention is that anti-slip pads are provided in the first and second grooves, and each is semi-circular.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the stationary claw portion and the connecting platform portion of the base are separate components, and the stationary claw portion and the connecting platform portion are connected by a hinge.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: (see attached specification) Figure 5 , 6As shown in the opening and closing action, when the handle drives the hinge joint to rotate, the second pin in the eccentric hole moves along the rotation limit elongated through groove, turning the rotation of the hinge joint into a deflection motion that moves closer to or away from the movable claw. The contact between the hinge joint and the movable claw drives the first groove and the second groove to move closer to each other and join together to lock the rod-shaped part of the drone.

[0019] like Figure 5-6 In the diagram, rotating the handle counterclockwise drives the movable claw to approach the stationary claw, thus locking the stick-shaped part on the drone. Rotating the handle clockwise drives the movable claw away from the stationary claw, thus releasing the stick-shaped part on the drone.

[0020] The pole-shaped part is preferably the pole on the drone's landing gear, but it can also be attached to other lockable parts of the drone.

[0021] Therefore, the locking mechanism of this application can be quickly disassembled and assembled through convenient rotation of the handle, replacing the cumbersome installation of traditional screws, and greatly shortening the preparation time for adjusting UAV equipment in emergency flight missions.

[0022] In a further design, a pre-compressed spring continuously drives the movable claw to move away from the stationary claw. When the operating handle is released, the movable claw, which has lost its limit, can quickly spring open, further facilitating the assembly and disassembly process.

[0023] The anti-slip pads installed in the first and second grooves increase friction when the locking rod is engaged, thereby enhancing the stability of the mounting platform after assembly.

[0024] The platform panel and the connecting platform have several mounting through holes or fourth screw through holes at corresponding positions. The connecting platform is connected to the stationary claw with a hinge, allowing the spacing and position of the connecting platform to be adjusted and rotated at a certain angle to adapt to different positions and angles of the boom section on the drone. In particular, the drone landing gear boom is generally tilted in a figure-eight shape. In addition to adapting according to the preset size, this flexible structure can also adapt to different installation structures of various drone models. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the technical solution and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solution of this application will be described in a clearer and more complete manner below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some embodiments of this application, and are only used to explain this application, not to limit this application. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this application are shown in the accompanying drawings. Other related parts can be referred to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0035] like Figure 1-7As shown, a quick-release mounting platform for a drone includes a platform panel 1 and at least one pair of locking mechanisms 3 that are detachably connected to the upper pole-shaped part 2 of the drone. The platform panel 1 is provided with a plurality of equipment mounting holes 11. The locking mechanism 3 includes a base 31, a limiting member 32, a movable claw member 33 and an operating handle 34. The base 31 includes a stationary claw part 311 and a connecting platform part 312 that is detachably connected to the platform panel 1. The stationary claw part 311 has a first groove 313 and a first mounting slot 314 on the side away from the platform panel 1.

[0036] The limiting member 32 includes a mating end 321 and an operating end 322. The cross-sectional shape of the mating end 321 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the first mounting slot 314 and is detachably assembled in the first mounting slot 314. A sliding limiting elongated circular groove 323 is provided in the middle section along the length direction of the limiting member 32, and a rotation limiting elongated circular groove 324 is provided in the operating end 322, which is perpendicular to the direction of the sliding limiting elongated circular groove 323.

[0037] The movable claw 33 is provided with a first sliding groove 331 that matches the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 32, and is fitted onto the limiting member 32 for sliding engagement. The movable claw 33 is provided with a first pin hole 332, a first pin 333, and a second groove 334 whose sliding path coincides with the sliding limiting elongated circular groove 323. The first pin 333 passes through the first pin hole 332 and the sliding limiting elongated circular groove 323, and the second groove 334 is opposite to the opening of the first groove 313.

[0038] The operating handle 34 includes a handle portion and a hinge portion 341. The hinge portion 341 is provided with an eccentric hole 342 whose rotation path coincides with the rotation limiting elongated circular groove 324, a second mounting slot 343 adapted to the shape of the operating end portion 322, and a second pin 344. The second pin 344 passes through the eccentric hole 342, the second mounting slot 343, and the rotation limiting elongated circular groove 324.

[0039] The handle drives the hinge joint 341 to rotate, and the second pin 344 in the eccentric hole 342 moves along the rotation limiting elongated through groove 324, turning the rotation of the hinge joint 341 into a deflection motion that moves closer to or away from the movable claw 33. The hinge joint 341 abuts against the movable claw 33, driving the first groove 313 and the second groove 334 to move closer to each other and assemble to lock the rod-shaped part 2 of the drone.

[0040] The part of the movable claw 33 that contacts the hinge joint 341 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 335 that matches the outer contour shape of the hinge joint 341. The arc-shaped groove 335 slides with the outer peripheral surface of the hinge joint 341.

[0041] On the end face of the insertion end 321 of the limiting member 32, a spring hole 325 and a spring 4 are provided along the length direction, which penetrate into the sliding limiting elongated groove 323. The spring 4 is compressed in the spring hole 325 and pushes the first pin 333 to slide towards the operating end 322.

[0042] The mating end 321 and the first mounting slot 314 are coaxially provided with a first screw through hole 326 and a second screw through hole 315 at corresponding positions. The mating end 321 and the first mounting slot 314 are fixed by a first screw 5. The stationary claw part 311 is coaxially provided with a third screw through hole 316 and a second screw 317 at the position corresponding to the spring hole 325 of the limiting member 32. The second screw 317 passes through the third screw through hole 316 and its end closes the spring hole 325 to abut against the spring 4.

[0043] The platform panel 1 and the connecting platform 312 are provided with several mounting through holes 12 or fourth screw through holes at corresponding positions, and are fixed by bolts or screws.

[0044] The first groove 313 and the second groove 334 are provided with anti-slip pads, and are respectively semi-circular.

[0045] The base 31 has a fixed claw portion 311 and a connecting platform portion 312 that are separately arranged, and the fixed claw portion 311 and the connecting platform portion 312 are connected by a hinge.

[0046] As per the instruction manual Figure 5 , 6 As shown in the opening and closing action, when the handle drives the hinge joint 341 to rotate, the second pin 344 in the eccentric hole 342 moves along the rotation limit elongated through groove 324, turning the rotation of the hinge joint 341 into a deflection motion that moves closer to or away from the movable claw 33. The contact between the hinge joint 341 and the movable claw 33 drives the first groove 313 and the second groove 334 to move closer to each other and assemble to lock the rod-shaped part 2 of the drone.

[0047] like Figure 5-6 When the handle rotates counterclockwise as shown in the figure, it drives the movable claw to approach the stationary claw 311, thereby locking the stick-shaped part 2 on the drone. When the handle rotates clockwise as shown in the figure, it drives the movable part to move away from the stationary claw 311, thereby releasing the stick-shaped part 2 on the drone.

[0048] The pole-shaped part 2 is preferably a pole on the drone's landing gear, but it can also be attached to other lockable parts of the drone.

[0049] Therefore, the locking mechanism 3 of this application can be quickly disassembled and assembled through convenient rotation of the handle, replacing the cumbersome installation of traditional screws, and greatly shortening the preparation time for adjusting UAV equipment in emergency flight missions.

[0050] In a further design, the pre-compressed spring 4 continuously drives the movable claw 33 to move away from the stationary claw 311. When the operating handle 34 is released, the movable claw 33, which has lost its limit, can quickly spring open, further facilitating the disassembly and assembly work.

[0051] The anti-slip pads provided in the first groove 313 and the second groove 334 can increase the friction when the locking rod type part 2 is engaged, thereby enhancing the stability of the mounting platform after assembly.

[0052] The platform panel 1 and the connecting platform 312 are provided with several mounting through holes 12 or fourth screw through holes at corresponding positions. The connecting platform 312 is hinged to the stationary claw 311, so that the connecting platform 312 can be adjusted in spacing and position and rotated at a certain angle to adapt to different positions and angles of the stick-type part 2 on the UAV. In particular, the UAV landing gear stick is generally tilted in a "V" shape. In addition to adapting according to the preset size, it can also adapt to different installation structures of various UAV models through such a flexible structure.

[0053] The technical solution of this application has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
