Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a UAV-mounted high-altitude grasping device. Background Technology
[0002] Drone-based high-altitude grasping is an innovative application that combines drone technology and robotic arms. It is mainly used to perform grasping, handling, installation, or maintenance tasks at high altitudes or in inaccessible locations. This system typically uses a drone as a carrier, equipped with a specially designed grasping mechanism that can identify, approach, grasp, and release target objects without direct human intervention.
[0003] Existing drone-mounted high-altitude gripping systems typically involve attaching grippers to the bottom of the drone using screws. These grippers then clamp the objects. However, current devices can only control the opening and closing of the grippers, not their rotation. They can only grip vertically oriented objects, making it inconvenient to grip objects placed in different locations. This results in low flexibility, and the screw-mounting process is cumbersome and inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a drone-mounted high-altitude grasping device that can rotate the gripper according to requirements, making it easy to grasp items placed in different positions, improving the flexibility of using the device, and facilitating its installation, operation, and use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of current devices that can only control the opening and closing of the grippers and cannot rotate them, can only grip vertically oriented items, are inconvenient for gripping items placed in different positions, have low flexibility, and are cumbersome to install with screws, this utility model provides a drone-mounted high-altitude gripping device that can rotate the grippers as needed, making it easier to grip items placed in different positions, improving the flexibility of the device, and is easy to install, operate, and use.
[0006] Technical solution: A drone-mounted high-altitude grasping device includes a mounting plate, a fixing frame, a first motor, a rotating sleeve, an electric push rod, a connecting frame, a mounting bracket, fixing rods, and grippers. Fixing frames are connected to the lower left and right sides of the mounting plate. The left side of the fixing frame is connected to the first motor, and a rotating sleeve is connected to the output shaft of the first motor. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the fixing frame on the right side. An electric push rod is connected to the rotating sleeve, and a connecting frame is connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod. A mounting bracket is connected to the lower part of the connecting frame, and multiple fixing rods are connected to the lower side of the mounting bracket. Grippers are rotatably connected to each fixing rod.
[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the connecting frame is U-shaped.
[0008] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the lower part of the grippers is provided with anti-slip pads.
[0009] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the mounting plate also includes telescopic rods and buckles, with two telescopic rods rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting plate, and buckles connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods.
[0010] In addition, it is particularly preferred that the buckles are all curved.
[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a second motor, a worm gear, and a worm wheel. The second motor is connected to the upper side of the mounting bracket, the worm gear is connected to the output shaft of the second motor, and worm wheels are connected to the upper parts of the grippers. The worm wheels mesh with the worm gear.
[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model uses the reverse rotation of the worm gear to drive the gripper to rotate and merge, thus clamping the item. Then, the first motor can be started to drive the rotating sleeve to rotate, causing the gripper to rotate upward. This allows the gripper to be rotated according to needs, making it easy to clamp items placed in different positions, improving the flexibility of using this device, and making it easy to install, operate, and use.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0017] A drone-mounted high-altitude grasping device, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the assembly includes a mounting plate 1, telescopic rods 2, buckles 3, a fixing frame 4, a first motor 5, a rotating sleeve 6, an electric push rod 7, a connecting frame 8, a mounting frame 9, a second motor 10, a worm gear 11, a fixing rod 12, grippers 13, and a worm wheel 14. The mounting plate 1 has two rotatably connected telescopic rods 2 on both the left and right sides. Buckles 3 are connected to the telescopic ends of the telescopic rods 2, and all buckles 3 are arc-shaped. Fixing frames 4 are connected to the lower sides of both the left and right sides of the mounting plate 1. The left side of the fixing frame 4 is connected to the first motor 5, and a rotating sleeve 6 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 5. The tube 6 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 4 on the right. An electric push rod 7 is connected to the rotating sleeve 6. A connecting frame 8 is connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 7. The connecting frame 8 is U-shaped. A mounting frame 9 is connected to the lower part of the connecting frame 8. A second motor 10 is connected to the upper side of the mounting frame 9. A worm gear 11 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 10. Three fixed rods 12 are connected to the lower side of the mounting frame 9. Each fixed rod 12 is rotatably connected to a gripper 13. Each gripper 13 is provided with an anti-slip pad at the bottom for easy anti-slip. Each gripper 13 is connected to a worm wheel 14. The worm wheels 14 mesh with the worm gear 11.
[0018] When using this device, first adjust the telescopic rod 2 by rotating it on the mounting plate 1 as needed. Then extend the telescopic rod 2 outward and attach the buckle 3 to the drone's support feet. Next, control the drone to move. When it is necessary to grab an item, start the second motor 10 on the mounting frame 9 to drive the worm gear 11 to rotate. The worm gear 11 and the worm wheel 14 mesh with each other, causing the gripper 13 to rotate and open on the fixed rod 12. Then, start the electric push rod 7 to move the connecting frame 8 downward, causing the gripper 13 to move downward so that the item to be gripped is located between the grippers 13. Then, start the second motor 10 in reverse. The worm gear 11 rotates in the opposite direction, and the worm gear 11 meshes with the worm wheel 14, causing the gripper 13 to rotate and merge. The gripper 13 is protected by an anti-slip pad and clamps the item. When it is necessary to clamp items in different positions, the first motor 5 on the fixed frame 4 can be started, which drives the rotating sleeve 6 to rotate, causing the electric push rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the gripper 13 to rotate upward and clamp the item. This allows the gripper 13 to be rotated according to the needs, making it easier to clamp items placed in different positions, improving the flexibility of using this device, and making it easy to install, operate, and use.
