[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 As one embodiment of this utility model, it discloses a detachable cargo compartment for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Specifically, the cargo compartment includes a fixed frame 2 installed on the UAV 1 platform and a disassembly unit 3 installed on the fixed frame 2.
[0027] The disassembly unit 3 includes a base plate 31 and a buckle assembly 32 installed below the base plate 31. A compartment 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 31. The buckle assembly 32 and the fixing frame 2 are detachably connected.
[0028] The base plate 31 has clamping arms 33 formed on both sides, and the two clamping arms 33 are clamped on the top of the fixing frame 2.
[0029] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 2 of this utility model has a U-shaped structure;
[0030] Both sides of the fixing frame 2 are formed with stop parts 21, and the two clamping arms 33 are placed between the two stop parts 21. In addition, the clamping arms 33 in this embodiment are also U-shaped. During the specific installation, the entire disassembly unit 3 is first fixed to the bottom of the compartment 4, and the fixing frame 2 is fixed above the platform of the drone 1. By placing the two clamping arms 33 above the fixing frame 2, the stop parts 21 on both sides stop the two clamping arms 33 in a planar position. Then, the buckle assembly 32 locks the bottom plate 31 and the fixing frame 2, thus completing the detachable connection between the compartment 4 and the drone 1.
[0031] Furthermore, the buckle assembly 32 of this utility model includes a slide plate 321 slidably connected to the bottom of the base plate 31, a mounting flap 322 is formed at the bottom of the slide plate 321, a guide flap 311 is formed at the bottom of the base plate 31, and a spring 323 is fixedly installed between the mounting flap 322 and the guide flap 311.
[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the mounting flap 322 and the guide flap 311 are bent and extended downward toward the bottom plate 31. The mounting flap 322 and the guide flap 311 cooperate to install the spring 323, thereby enabling the sliding and resetting capability of the entire slide plate 321.
[0033] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the bottom sides of the skateboard 321 are formed with bent portions 324, and hooks 325 are fixedly installed on the end face of the bent portions 324. The side of the fixing frame 2 is provided with a locking hole 22 that matches the hooks 325.
[0034] In other words, in this embodiment, the upper and lower positions of the base plate 31 and the fixing frame 2 are locked and fixed by using the snap-fit of the hook 325 and the snap-fit hole 22. When it is necessary to disassemble and separate the compartment 4 and the drone 1, just press one end of the slide plate 321 to make it move. At this time, the slide plate 321 drives the hook 325 to move and disengage to the outside of the snap-fit hole 22. In this way, the compartment 4 can be pulled up to disassemble and separate.
[0035] Conversely, during installation, simply place the housing 4 on the platform of the drone 1, and perform initial positioning by engaging the locking arm 33 and the fixing frame 2. Then, connect and lock the housing 4 and the drone 1 by engaging the hook 325 inside the locking hole 22.
[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, one end of the slide plate 321 extends to the bottom outer side of the compartment 4, and a guide groove 326 is provided on the end face of the slide plate 321, and the guide flap 311 is slidably connected in the guide groove 326;
[0037] The bottom plate 31 is further formed with a guide hole 312 extending into the guide groove 326. The guide hole 312 is a protruding structure to fit the guide groove 326. With the cooperation of the guide hole 312 and the guide flap 311, the sliding positioning of the slide plate 321 can be achieved. Preferably, in this embodiment, the guide flap 311 is set as a T-shaped structure, and its upper stepped surface stops below the slide plate 321.
[0038] In some embodiments, the end side of the slide plate 321 in this invention is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 327 by a torsion spring, and a safety bar 328 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating sleeve 327, with the end of the safety bar 328 facing the side of the base plate 31.
[0039] In this embodiment, a rotatable safety bar 328 is used. In the initial state, it faces the end face of the base plate 31. Therefore, the slide plate 321 cannot be pushed to unlock at this time, so as to avoid the problem of incorrect unlocking during transportation.
[0040] When it is necessary to separate the compartment 4, first rotate the aforementioned safety bar 328 to deflect it outward, and then you can freely control the push and pull of the slide plate 321. Of course, in this embodiment, the torsion spring connection can realize the automatic reset of the rotating sleeve 327. The connection method is a conventional method for those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two fixing frames 2 and two disassembly units 3. The two disassembly units 3 are symmetrically distributed. The design of two disassembly units 3 can greatly improve the stability of the connection. Secondly, the two disassembly units 3 are symmetrically distributed to prevent the problem of weak locking force of the hook 325 on one side.
[0042] In summary, this utility model achieves convenient disassembly of the cargo body 4 by fixing a frame 2 on the platform of the drone 1 and installing a disassembly unit 3 under the cargo body 4. The disassembly unit 3 and the frame 2 are detachably connected, which greatly improves the convenience and reliability of disassembly, separation and installation of the cargo body 4 compared with the traditional fastener connection method.
[0043] 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 equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
