Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to an impact-resistant UAV. Background Technology

[0002] In pillar industries of the national economy such as mining, water conservancy and hydropower projects, energy and power, municipal infrastructure, and emergency rescue, there are widespread extreme operating scenarios, including those without navigation beacons, with zero visibility lighting, high temperature and humidity, highly corrosive dust, highly toxic and explosive gases, complex radiation pollution, and physical isolation of personnel. Using traditional manual inspection and sensor deployment methods in these extreme operating scenarios suffers from drawbacks such as poor target accessibility, incomplete information acquisition, high risks, and high maintenance costs, making it impossible to achieve efficient and high-precision full-area inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to use drones to enter these extreme operating scenarios to acquire images or other information for inspection.

[0003] Currently, existing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are all shaped like airplanes, with the necessary equipment installed inside an airplane-like shell. When performing inspection tasks, even slight deviations can lead to collisions with objects in extreme working conditions, causing damage to both the objects and the UAV itself, and affecting inspection efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] A shock-resistant drone, structural schematic diagram as shown below Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes an airframe structure and core components. The airframe structure includes a spherical outer frame 2 and multiple airframe supports 17. The multiple airframe supports are located inside the spherical outer frame, and each airframe support is connected to the spherical outer frame via a connector 21. Each airframe support is a polygonal structure, and the multiple airframe supports are interconnected to form a ring structure. The core components include a lidar 1, a battery 4, a flight controller 10, and multiple propellers 12. The multiple propellers are respectively mounted on corresponding airframe supports. The flight controller is fixedly mounted in the middle of the ring structure formed by the multiple airframe supports. The battery is fixedly mounted on the flight controller. A radar support 3 is fixedly mounted above the battery, and the lidar is mounted on the radar support.

[0024] The drone provided in this application can fly into extreme operating scenarios and perform detection in place of manual labor or sensor deployment, which not only improves detection efficiency but also improves detection accuracy.

[0025] Because the airframe structure includes a spherical outer frame and multiple airframe supports, the drone is less likely to collide with objects in extreme working environments. Furthermore, since the multiple airframe supports are located inside the spherical outer frame, each airframe support is a polygonal structure, and the multiple airframe supports are interconnected to form a ring structure, with each airframe support connected to the spherical outer frame via connectors, and most of the core components are installed at the center of the ring structure formed by the multiple airframe supports, the drone is less likely to be damaged even if it collides with objects in extreme working environments when performing inspection tasks.

[0026] The flight controller is the core component of a drone, responsible for controlling its flight status and ensuring flight stability and safety. It is installed in the middle of a ring structure formed by multiple body supports, which provides good protection and prevents damage even in the event of a collision.

[0027] Multiple blades can be driven to rotate at high speed by corresponding blade motors 11 to generate lift, enabling the UAV to fly. The blade motors are connected to the flight controller and are controlled by the flight controller.

[0028] The battery provides power to the drone, while the lidar is used for high-precision ranging, 3D modeling, and environmental perception. It is connected to the flight controller and can transmit the detected information to the flight controller.

[0029] The optimized connector is a polyurethane elastic rubber connector. Polyurethane elastic rubber is a polymer material widely used in various industrial fields. It has excellent mechanical properties, durability, corrosion resistance, and elastic recovery ability, which further improves the adaptability and impact resistance of the UAV.

[0030] The optimized spherical outer frame is a near-spherical structure composed of multiple polygonal frames, which are connected by polyurethane elastic rubber connectors, improving the strength and durability of the spherical outer frame and further enhancing the drone's impact resistance.

[0031] Furthermore, LED lights 7 are fixedly installed on the aircraft frame, enabling the drone to adapt to small, enclosed environments.

[0032] Furthermore, a radar buffer pad 24 is installed between the radar bracket and the lidar, which can improve the lidar's impact resistance.

[0033] The optimized design features a fixed battery base plate 5 mounted on the flight controller, with the battery fixedly mounted on the battery base plate. The radar bracket is also fixedly connected to the battery base plate, which improves the installation stability of the flight controller, battery, and lidar, thereby further enhancing the UAV's impact resistance.

[0034] Furthermore, the core components also include a pod 6 and a remote controller antenna 8. The pod is fixedly mounted on the fuselage support, and an antenna bracket 9 is fixedly mounted on the fuselage support. The remote controller antenna is mounted on the antenna bracket and is connected to the flight controller.

[0035] The pod can integrate airborne equipment such as photoelectric sensors, stabilization platforms, and data processing systems to acquire visible light, infrared, and other multispectral information of ground or air targets in real time. Its performance directly affects the application effect of the UAV.

[0036] In the optimized configuration, an electronic speed controller (ESC) protection frame 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the annular structure formed by the multiple airframe supports, below the flight controller. An electronic speed controller (ESC) protection frame 14 and a step-down module (BPS) 18 are installed inside the ESC protection frame.

[0037] An ESC protection frame is fixedly installed below the flight controller in the middle of the ring structure formed by the fuselage support. The ESC and step-down module are installed inside the ESC protection frame, which further improves the drone's impact resistance. Even if it collides with objects in extreme environments, the ESC and step-down module are not easily damaged.

[0038] Furthermore, a host computer protection frame 19 and a network port expansion dock 15 are fixedly installed below the power switch protection frame. The host computer protection frame contains a core board 20 and an image transmission module 23. Image transmission module antennas 13 are installed on both sides of the host computer protection frame, and the image transmission module antennas are connected to the image transmission module.

[0039] A host computer protection frame is fixedly installed below the ESC protection frame. The core board and image transmission module are installed inside the host computer protection frame. This can further protect the core board and image transmission module. Even if they collide with objects in extreme environments, the core board and image transmission module are not easily damaged.

[0040] Setting up a network port expansion dock can improve the network speed and stability of drones.

[0041] Furthermore, a cooling fan 22 is installed below the upper computer protective frame to dissipate heat from the drone and adapt to extreme high-temperature environments.

[0042] In summary, the impact-resistant drone proposed in this utility model can enter extreme working environments for testing and is not prone to collisions with objects in such environments. When it does collide with objects in extreme working environments, it has strong impact resistance and its core components are not easily damaged.
