[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are unmanned aircraft controlled by radio remote control equipment and their own program control devices, or operated autonomously by an onboard computer, either completely or intermittently. With the advancement of technology, vehicles are also equipped with UAVs as vehicle-mounted UAVs, mainly for reconnaissance of the road ahead.

[0003] Existing vehicle-mounted drones are placed on vehicles. In order to ensure the stability of the drone while the vehicle is in motion, the drone's landing gear is basically tied to the vehicle's mounting frame. This is not convenient for taking out or placing the drone, the operation is relatively troublesome, and it is also inconvenient to charge the drone.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a vehicle-mounted drone clamp to solve the problems in the background art.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] This utility model provides a vehicle-mounted drone clamp, with reference to... Figures 1-4 A vehicle-mounted drone clamp includes a base 1, a vehicle-mounted drone body 4, and a limiting mechanism;

[0028] The base 1 has two limiting grooves 2, and the base 1 is equipped with a socket vehicle drone body 4. The bottom of the vehicle drone body 4 is fixedly installed with two drone brackets 8. The two limiting grooves 2 are respectively adapted to the two drone brackets 8. Both limiting grooves 2 are L-shaped, which facilitates the translation of the two drone brackets 8 and facilitates their positioning. One side of one of the two drone brackets 8 is fixedly installed with a charging port 9. The base 1 is provided with a limiting mechanism for limiting the vehicle drone body 4, and the limiting mechanism is connected to the two drone brackets 8.

[0029] The limiting mechanism includes a U-shaped plate 5, a transmission plate 6, and an electric push rod 7. Two U-shaped plates 5 are slidably connected on the base 1. Through the cooperative design between the base 1, the limiting mechanism, the drone bracket 8, the charging port 9, and the guide rail 3, it can not only achieve the effect of automatically clamping and limiting the main body 4 of the vehicle-mounted drone, but also facilitate charging, greatly improving convenience.

[0030] In this embodiment, both U-shaped plates 5 are adapted to the two drone brackets 8, and the two U-shaped plates 5 correspond to the two limiting grooves 2 respectively, which facilitates the movement and limiting of the two drone brackets 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, the same transmission plate 6 is fixedly connected between the two U-shaped plates 5. The transmission plate 6 is slidably connected to the base 1 for transmission, so that the two U-shaped plates 5 move synchronously.

[0032] In this embodiment, an electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The output end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the two U-shaped plates 5, and is used to drive the two U-shaped plates 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, a wire 10 is installed on the base 1. One end of the wire 10 is installed on the control button and the power supply (not shown in the figure). The power supply can provide electrical energy, and the control button can control the electric push rod 7. The wire 10 is connected to the electric push rod 7. The left and right charging plugs are fixedly installed in one of the two limiting grooves 2. The charging plugs correspond to the charging port 9. The charging plugs are connected to the wire 10. The wire 10 can transmit electrical energy and control signals.

[0034] In this embodiment, four guide rails 3 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The four guide rails 3 correspond to the two ends of the two limiting grooves 2 respectively, and play a guiding role, so as to facilitate the placement of the two drone brackets 8 in the two limiting grooves 2 and the U-shaped plate 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the base 1 has two movable slots 11, and the two U-shaped plates 5 slide in the two movable slots 11 respectively, which facilitates the movement of the two U-shaped plates 5. The base 1 has mounting ears on both sides, which facilitates the installation of the base 1 on the car.

[0036] In this embodiment, a through hole 12 is provided on the base 1, and both ends of the transmission plate 6 pass through the through hole 12, which facilitates the movement of the transmission plate 6 and also serves to limit the position of the transmission plate 6.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, the vehicle-mounted drone body 4 is first slowly lowered onto the base 1. During this process, through the cooperation between the four guide rails 3 and the two drone brackets 8, the two drone brackets 8 are moved into the two limiting slots 2 and the U-shaped plate 5, so that the charging port 9 corresponds to the charging plug.

[0038] Then, the electric push rod 7 is activated. Through the retraction drive of the electric push rod 7 and the transmission plate 6, the two U-shaped plates 5 slide synchronously on the base 1 for a certain distance. At the same time, the two U-shaped plates 5 drive the two drone brackets 8 to move synchronously and move the two drone brackets 8 into the two limiting slots 2, so that the charging plug is connected to the charging port 9. In this process, through the interaction between the two limiting slots 2 and the U-shaped plates 5 and the two drone brackets 8, the two drone brackets 8 are clamped and limited, thereby limiting the vehicle-mounted drone body 4. At the same time, it also facilitates the charging of the vehicle-mounted drone body 4.

[0039] Conversely, this can release the two drone brackets 8 from their limits, allowing the vehicle-mounted drone body 4 to fly away from the base 1, thus enabling it to detect road conditions ahead.

[0040] The technological advancements of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: through the cooperation of various components, not only can the main body 4 of the vehicle-mounted drone be automatically clamped and limited, but it can also be conveniently charged, greatly improving convenience. Moreover, the structure is simple and the practicality is higher.

[0041] 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.
