Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1 of this utility model: As shown Figures 1-6 As shown, a drone nozzle adjustment bracket includes a connecting rod 1, a first connector 2, a second connector 3, and a drive assembly;

[0030] The first connector 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 1; the other end of the connecting rod 1 is used for fixed connection with the drone, such as fixed connection with the drone's arm.

[0031] The second connector 3 is hinged to the first connector 2, and a nozzle is installed on the second connector 3;

[0032] The drive assembly is used to drive the second connector 3 to swing relative to the first connector 2, thereby adjusting the spraying angle without moving the machine body and improving work efficiency.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a first connecting rod 4, a second connecting rod 5, and a drive motor 6. One end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged to a second connecting head 3, and the other end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 5. The other end of the second connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6. The drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 1. The drive motor 6 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting rod 1 via a connecting member 12. As a preferred embodiment, the connecting member 12 is in the form of a clamp and is sleeved on the connecting rod 1. There are two connecting members 12, located on both sides of the drive motor 6. The drive motor 6 is provided with a mounting plate 11, which is located between the openings at both ends of the connecting member 12. The connecting member 12 has mounting through holes at both ends, and the mounting plate 11 has holes corresponding to the mounting through holes. The mounting plate 11 is fixed to the connecting member 12 by bolts passing through the mounting through holes at one end of the connecting member 12, the holes on the mounting plate 11, and the mounting through holes at the other end of the connecting member 12 in sequence. This also fixes the connecting member 12 firmly onto the connecting rod 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is perpendicular to the connecting rod 1. In specific implementations, the drive motor 6 can be a servo motor. For example, a TD-9412MG servo motor can be used.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the second connector 3 is provided with a connecting block 13, and one end of the first connecting rod 4 is hinged to the connecting block 13. By setting the connecting block 13, the hinge point between the first connecting rod 4 and the second connector 3 is changed to the connecting block 13, which can avoid interference between the first connecting rod 4 and the first connector 2 and the second connector 3 during the movement process. At the same time, it can also increase the swing amplitude of the second connector 3 relative to the first connector 2, thereby increasing the spraying angle.

[0035] See Figure 4 As shown, the first connector 2 has two first connecting arms 21, which are arranged opposite to each other. A third mounting hole 22 is opened in the middle of the first connector 2, and the two first connectors 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the third mounting hole 22. The first connector 2 is sleeved onto one end of the connecting rod 1 through the third mounting hole 22 and fixedly connected to the connecting rod 1. To improve the connection strength between the first connector 2 and the connecting rod 1, screws can be added at the connection point. The two first connecting arms 21 and the first connector 2 form a Y-shaped or U-shaped structure. The second connector 3 has two second connecting arms 31, which are rotatably connected to the two first connecting arms 21 respectively. Specifically, the second connecting arms 31 are rotatably connected to the corresponding first connecting arms 21 via a rotating shaft, allowing the second connector 3 to swing relative to the first connector 2 around the rotating shaft.

[0036] The second connector 3 has a first mounting hole 32, and two second connecting arms 31 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first mounting hole 32; one end of the nozzle is installed in the first mounting hole 32.

[0037] Preferably, a connecting pipe 7 is installed in the first mounting hole 32. One end of the connecting pipe 7 is connected to the liquid supply pipe 8, and the other end is connected to the liquid inlet end of the nozzle. The liquid supply pipe 8 is a flexible pipe.

[0038] To facilitate nozzle replacement, a quick-release connector 9 is also included. One end of the quick-release connector 9 is installed in the first mounting hole 32 and communicates with the connecting pipe 7, while the other end of the quick-release connector 9 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the nozzle. The quick-release connector 9 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Of course, in specific implementations, both ends of the connecting pipe 7 can extend out of the first mounting hole 32, and the extended ends can be connected to the liquid supply pipe 8 and the quick-release connector 9, respectively.

[0039] See Figure 6 As shown, to facilitate the installation of the connecting pipe 7 into the first mounting hole 32, a connecting ring 14 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting pipe 7. The connecting ring 14 mates with the first mounting hole 32 and is fixed by screws. In specific implementations, the first mounting hole 32 can be designed to be multi-shaped, such as quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, etc., and the connecting ring 14 can be designed to fit the shape of the first mounting hole 32.

[0040] To prevent the liquid supply pipe 8 from drooping, which would affect the appearance and the normal operation of the drone, a second mounting hole 10 can be provided on the connecting rod 1. The second mounting hole 10 is set along the axial direction of the connecting rod 1, and the liquid supply pipe 8 passes through the second mounting hole 10.

[0041] This application discloses a drone, including the aforementioned adjustable bracket. A liquid supply pipe 8 is connected to a liquid supply device mounted on the drone. In use, a drive motor 6 rotates a second connecting rod 5, which in turn drives a second connector 3 to swing relative to a first connector 2 via a first connecting rod 4. This adjusts the spray angle of the nozzle on the second connector 3, improving operational efficiency without requiring movement of the drone's body.

[0042] When using this product, different nozzles need to be replaced as needed. Different application targets (such as building facades, power tower insulators, glass curtain walls of high-rise buildings, photovoltaic panels, etc.) require different droplet sizes, spray angles, and flow rates to ensure optimal coverage and adhesion. Replaceable nozzles allow for quick switching to match the target crop.

[0043] A single main unit (sprayer, pump, and tank) paired with different nozzle sets can efficiently complete spraying tasks for multiple application scenarios, various sprays, and different targets, greatly improving the equipment's versatility and return on investment.
