Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) carrier assembly technology, specifically a UAV mounting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of multi-purpose drones in scenarios such as aerial photography, surveying, deployment, and rescue, higher requirements have been placed on the ease of plugging and unplugging, safety and reliability, and lightweight design of their mounting modules.
[0003] Current drone mounting methods often use a slide-in rail with spring clips. During use, a large initial preload needs to be overcome, resulting in a large insertion force, requiring both hands or tools, and making it inconvenient to attach items to the drone. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a drone mounting bracket.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A drone mounting bracket includes:
[0007] A mounting plate is attached to the bottom of the drone.
[0008] A sleeve plate, located at the bottom of the aforementioned fixing plate, is used to secure the mounted object.
[0009] A limiting cover is provided on the outer wall of the aforementioned sleeve plate, and has a receiving cavity on the side facing the center of the sleeve plate;
[0010] The movable block is disposed in the receiving cavity of the aforementioned limiting cover. One end of the movable block, facing the center of the sleeve plate, penetrates the sleeve plate and is inserted into the interior of the sleeve plate. In the initial state, the movable block is engaged with the outer wall of the sleeve plate and has a tendency to move towards the center of the sleeve plate.
[0011] When the load is inserted into the sleeve, the load releases the sleeve from restricting the position of the moving block. At this time, the load restricts the position of the moving block. When the load is fully inserted into the sleeve, the moving block moves toward the center of the sleeve to lock the load.
[0012] Preferably, the aforementioned movable block can move 10mm to 30mm toward the mounted object.
[0013] Preferably, the cross-section of the aforementioned sleeve plate is a circular structure or a regular polygonal structure, and multiple sets of the aforementioned limiting cover and moving block are provided;
[0014] When the cross-section of the aforementioned sleeve plate is a circular structure, multiple sets of limiting covers and moving blocks are set on the sleeve plate at equal angles.
[0015] When the cross-section of the aforementioned sleeve plate is a regular polygonal structure, a limit cover and a moving block are provided on each face of the aforementioned sleeve plate.
[0016] Preferably, the mounting has a slot, and the moving block engages with the slot.
[0017] Preferably, the aforementioned movable block and the side of the spring receiving cavity facing the center of the sleeve plate have a spring that compresses the movable block in the direction of the center of the sleeve plate.
[0018] Preferably, the side of the moving block away from the center of the sleeve plate has a pull wire for resetting the moving block.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. By setting up a sleeve, a limit cover and a movable moving block, it can automatically push open and reset the locking during the insertion of the load, avoiding the defect of traditional structures that need to overcome a large initial pre-tightening force, significantly reducing the insertion force, improving the convenience of inserting and removing the load, and facilitating the quick completion of the loading operation with one hand.
[0021] 2. By utilizing the interlocking of the movable block and the slot on the payload, a self-locking engagement can be achieved after the payload is fully inserted, ensuring that the payload is not easily loosened or detached under flight vibration or impact conditions, thus improving the safety and reliability of the payload.

[0032] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0033] Example
[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a drone mounting bracket includes a fixed plate 1, a sleeve plate 2, a limiting cover 21, and a movable block 22. The fixed plate 1 is fixed to the bottom of the drone and serves as the mounting base for the mounting bracket. The sleeve plate 2 is disposed at the bottom of the fixed plate 1 and forms an insertion cavity for engaging the mounted object 3.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the limiting cover 21 is disposed on the outer wall of the sleeve plate 2, and has a receiving cavity on the side facing the center of the sleeve plate 2. Through the limiting cover 21, the moving block 22 can be guided and limited, so that the moving block 22 maintains a stable movement trajectory during insertion and removal, and avoids jamming or deviation.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the movable block 22 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the limiting cover 21. One end of the movable block 2, facing the center of the sleeve 2, penetrates the sleeve 2 and is inserted into the interior of the sleeve 2. In the initial state, the movable block 22 is engaged with the outer wall of the sleeve 2 and has a tendency to move towards the center of the sleeve 2.
[0037] During use, when the mounting object 3 is inserted into the sleeve 2, the mounting object 3 gradually pushes open the movable block 22, which is initially locked in place, releasing the sleeve 2 from its constraint. At this time, the outer wall of the mounting object 3 limits the movable block 22, keeping it in the pushed-open state and preventing it from detaching. As the mounting object 3 continues to be inserted, when its slot 31 corresponds to the movable block 22, the movable block 22 automatically moves towards the center of the sleeve 2 under the action of elasticity and embeds into the slot 31, thus completing the reliable locking of the mounting object 3. This process requires no additional operation and has a good automatic locking effect.
[0038] After the load 3 pushes open the moving block 22, the force exerted by the moving block 22 on the load 3 is perpendicular to the load 3 and distributed along the circumference of the load 3, reducing the influence of the force between the moving block 22 and the load 3 on the movement of the load 3, and making it easier to insert the load 3 into the insertion cavity of the sleeve 2.
[0039] The side of the movable block 22 that contacts the load 3 can be machined into a bevel or an arc surface. This bevel serves to guide and slow down the insertion of the load 3, allowing the movable block 22 to be gradually pushed open, thus avoiding sudden jamming or a sudden increase in insertion force. Once the load 3 is fully inserted, the bevel can form a wedge-like fit with the edge of the slot 31, further improving its resistance to pull-out.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the movable block 22 can move 10mm to 30mm toward the hanging object 3. By setting this moving distance, on the one hand, it can ensure that the movable block 22 has enough room to back up when the hanging object 3 is inserted, thereby reducing the insertion force and improving the smoothness of assembly; on the other hand, when the movable block 22 is reset and embedded in the slot 31, it has enough embedding depth, thereby enhancing the reliability of locking and preventing the hanging object 3 from accidentally falling off due to vibration or impact.
[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the sleeve plate 2 has a circular or regular polygonal cross-section, and multiple sets of limiting covers 21 and moving blocks 22 are provided. When the sleeve plate 2 has a circular cross-section, multiple sets of limiting covers 21 and moving blocks 22 are arranged at equal angles on the sleeve plate 2. For example, three, four, or more sets. This arrangement ensures that the moving blocks 22 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, thereby achieving uniform circumferential clamping of the load 3 and improving locking stability. When the sleeve plate 2 has a regular polygonal cross-section, limiting covers 21 and moving blocks 22 are provided on each surface of the sleeve plate 2. This arrangement helps with centering and positioning during processing and assembly, and is suitable for loads 3 with planar fit, enabling more stable surface contact fixing.
[0042] By choosing different structures, the mounting rack can accommodate both circular and polygonal mounting components, expanding its versatility and application scenarios.
[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the payload 3 has a slot 31, and the moving block 22 is engaged in the slot 31. This structure not only ensures the axial direction limit, but also provides a two-way locking effect in the radial direction, effectively preventing the payload 3 from sliding axially or loosening radially under flight vibration, and further improving the reliability of the payload.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4As shown, a spring 221 is located between the movable block 22 and the side of the spring 221 receiving cavity facing the center of the sleeve plate 2, pressing the movable block 22 towards the center of the sleeve plate 2. This spring 221 is located at the end of the movable block 22 away from the center of the sleeve plate 2, and can apply a continuous preload towards the center of the sleeve plate 2, causing the movable block 22 to maintain its orientation towards the hanging object 3. Its function is as follows: when the hanging object 3 is inserted, the spring 221 can be compressed, providing controllable clearance space for the movable block 22; after the hanging object 3 is in place, the spring 221 releases its elastic force, pushing the movable block 22 to automatically engage with the slot 31, thereby achieving a reliable self-locking function.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the movable block 22 has a pull cord 222 on the side away from the center of the sleeve plate 2, which can be pulled to reset the movable block 22. This pull cord 222 can be pulled by external operation when manual unlocking is required, thereby removing the movable block 22 from the slot 31 and releasing the load 3. This design achieves both automatic locking and manual unlocking, improving the flexibility and safety of the mounting frame.
[0046] In a further improved scheme, when any one of the moving blocks 22 is obstructed or jammed, the remaining moving blocks 22 can still maintain their locking function to ensure that the load 3 will not fall off as a whole.
[0047] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
