Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone protective cover technology, and in particular to a quick-release protective cover for a smart obstacle avoidance drone probe. Background Technology

[0002] The drone probe is a key component for drones to achieve intelligent perception. As an airborne dedicated detection device, it achieves three major functions: environmental monitoring, target identification, and information collection through the collaborative work of multiple sensors. In terms of environmental perception, the probe can be equipped with a high-resolution optical lens, a wide-temperature thermal imager, and a precision ranging device, which can construct a detailed three-dimensional spatial model.

[0003] Currently, drone obstacle avoidance sensors generally suffer from the problem of cumbersome installation and removal of protective covers, which affects sensor accuracy. Traditional fixed protective covers require tools to disassemble, affecting the efficiency of field operations, while open designs are prone to dust accumulation and contamination of optical components.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a quick-release protective cover for the probe of an intelligent obstacle avoidance drone to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the technical problem of this utility model is to provide a quick-release protective cover for the probe of an intelligent obstacle avoidance drone.

[0006] A quick-release protective cover for an intelligent obstacle avoidance drone probe includes a bracket, a drone body, a camera, a protective shell, pins, a slide rail, a limiting plate, a limiting rod, a torsion spring, a limiting frame, a guide rod, a limiting bracket, and a spring. The drone body is fixedly connected between the tops of two brackets. A camera is rotatably connected to the front of the drone body. Protective shells are slidably placed on both sides of the camera. Two pins are fixedly connected to the rear of each protective shell. The rear of each pin inserts into the drone body. By inserting and removing the pins, the protective shell can be installed or removed. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the rear of each protective shell. The lower part of the body has a groove corresponding to the slide rail. The protective shell slides on the drone body through the use of a pin and the slide rail. Limiting plates are fixedly connected to the rear of both protective shells. A limiting rod is rotatably connected to the lower part of the drone body. The limiting rod abuts against the limiting plate. A torsion spring is connected between the lower part of the drone body and the limiting rod. The torsion spring is initially compressed. A limiting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod. The limiting frame wraps around the torsion spring. A guide rod is fixedly connected to the lower part of the drone body. A limiting frame is slidably connected to the guide rod. The limiting frame restricts the rotation of the limiting rod. A spring is connected between the guide rod and the limiting frame.

[0007] To further explain, it also includes a transparent shell, locking blocks, and positioning blocks. A transparent shell is installed on the front side of the camera, and the lower part of the transparent shell abuts against a limiting rod. The limiting rod restricts the transparent shell, which is located between two protective shells. Locking blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the middle part of the transparent shell, and positioning blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear part of the transparent shell. Positioning holes corresponding to the two positioning blocks are distributed on the two protective shells. The positioning blocks are inserted into the positioning holes to position the transparent shell during installation.

[0008] To further explain, it also includes rubber blocks, with rubber blocks fixedly connected to the bottom of both blocks.

[0009] To further explain, it also includes handles; both protective shells are fixedly connected to the middle of their respective sections.

[0010] To further clarify, the transparent shell is made of PC material.

[0011] To further explain, both handles have anti-slip grooves.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention sets a pin and a slide rail at the rear of the protective shell, and cooperates with the insertion hole and slide groove on the drone body, so that the protective shell can slide along the track and be accurately positioned, avoiding the cumbersome disassembly and assembly problems caused by the traditional screw fixing method. At the same time, the limiting rod and the limiting plate are automatically locked under the action of the torsion spring, ensuring that the protective shell is stable and does not loosen during flight.

[0013] 2. This utility model has a transparent shell made of PC material on the front side of the camera, which has good light transmittance and impact resistance, and does not affect the detection function of multiple types of sensors such as infrared and visible light. The bottom of the transparent shell has a positioning block and a rubber clip, which are inserted into the positioning hole and the slot of the protective shell respectively to achieve precise positioning and buffer sealing.

[0014] 3. This utility model adopts a sliding fit structure between the guide rod and the limiting frame, and realizes the automatic reset function through the spring. When it is necessary to disassemble the protective shell, simply pull the limiting frame outward to compress the spring and release the restriction on the limiting rod. Under the action of the torsion spring, the limiting rod automatically rotates to release the limiting piece and the transparent shell, thus completing the overall disassembly.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Example: A quick-release protective cover for the sensor of an intelligent obstacle avoidance drone, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a bracket 1, a drone body 2, a camera 3, a protective shell 4, pins 5, a slide rail 6, a limiting piece 7, a limiting rod 8, a torsion spring 9, a limiting frame 10, a guide rod 11, a limiting bracket 12, a spring 13, and a handle 18. The top of the two brackets 1 are connected to the drone body 2 by bolts. The camera 3 is rotatably connected to the front of the drone body 2. Protective shells 4 are slidably placed on both sides of the camera 3. Two pins 5 are fixedly connected to the upper rear of each of the two protective shells 4. The lower rear of each pin 5 is inserted into the drone body 2. The protective shell 4 can be installed or removed by inserting or removing the pins 5. The lower rear of each of the two protective shells 4 is connected to a slide rail 6 by bolts. The lower part of the drone body 2 has a groove corresponding to the slide rail 6. The pins 5 and the slide rail 6 are used to connect the drone body 2. The protective shell 4 slides on the drone body 2. The lower rear sides of both protective shells 4 are connected to limit plates 7 by bolts. The lower front side of the drone body 2 is rotatably connected to a limit rod 8, which abuts against the limit plate 7. A torsion spring 9 is connected between the lower front side of the drone body 2 and the limit rod 8. The torsion spring 9 is initially compressed. The bottom middle of the limit rod 8 is connected to a limit frame 10 by bolts, which encloses the torsion spring 9. A guide rod 11 is fixedly connected to the lower front side of the drone body 2. A limit frame 12 is slidably connected to the guide rod 11, which restricts the rotation of the limit rod 8. A spring 13 is connected between the guide rod 11 and the limit frame 12. A handle 18 is fixedly connected to the middle of the two protective shells 4 on opposite sides. Both handles 18 have anti-slip grooves.

[0023] When this device is needed, the torsion spring 9 is initially in a compressed state, applying a rightward pulling force to the limit frame 12, pulling the limit frame 12 to move to the right on the guide rod 11. The spring 13 is compressed. When it moves to a certain position, the limit frame 12 no longer contacts the limit rod, canceling the restriction on the limit rod 8. At this time, under the action of the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 9, the limit rod 8 automatically rebounds. Then, the two protective shells 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the camera 3 on the front side of the drone body 2. Through the pin 5 and slide rail 6 at the rear of the protective shell 4, they are inserted into the drone body 2 and the slide groove respectively to ensure accurate positioning during installation. Then, the limit rod 8 is reset, and the torsion spring 9 is compressed again. At this time, the limit rod 8 abuts against the limit piece, limiting the shaking of the protective shell 4 during drone flight and preventing the protective shell 4 from shifting. Then, the limit frame 12 is released, the spring 13 is reset, and the limit frame 12 is reset to limit the limit rod 8, forming a locked state.

[0024] When disassembly is required, the operator can pull the limiting bracket 12 to slide along the guide rod 11 and compress the spring 13. At this time, the limiting rod 8 will be reset under the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 9, causing the limiting rod 8 to rotate. When rotating, the limiting piece 7 will be released from the limitation of the limiting rod 8, so the protective shell 4 can be removed by pulling the handle 18. The anti-slip groove on the handle 18 makes it less likely to slip when pulling the handle 18, which makes it easy to remove or replace the entire protective shell 4.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a transparent shell 14, a locking block 15, a positioning block 16, and a rubber block 17. The transparent shell 14 is installed on the front side of the camera 3. The transparent shell 14 is made of PC material. The lower rear side of the transparent shell 14 abuts against the limiting rod 8. The limiting rod 8 restricts the transparent shell 14. The transparent shell 14 is located between two protective shells 4. The locking blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the middle part of the transparent shell 14. The positioning blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the lower left and right sides of the rear side of the transparent shell 14. The two protective shells 4 are provided with positioning holes corresponding to the two positioning blocks 16. The positioning blocks 16 are inserted into the positioning holes to position the transparent shell 14 during installation. The bottom of the two locking blocks 15 is glued with rubber blocks 17.

[0026] In addition, a transparent shell 14 is provided on the front side of the camera 3. It is made of PC material and has good light transmittance and impact resistance to ensure that the detection accuracy is not affected. The bottom of the transparent shell 14 is provided with a locking block 15 and a positioning block 16. The positioning block 16 is inserted into the positioning hole of the protective shell 4 to achieve precise positioning. The bottom of the locking block 15 is connected to a rubber block 17, which makes the locking block 15 more stable when inserted into the drone body 2 and less likely to be thrown out due to shaking. It can also improve the sealing performance. The rear side of the transparent shell 14 contacts the upper part of the limiting rod 8 and is fixed in the locked state of the limiting rod 8 to prevent it from loosening and falling off.
