Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to a UAV measurement bracket. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones are increasingly widely used in surveying, such as topographic mapping, engineering surveying, and agricultural monitoring. During drone surveying, various surveying devices, such as cameras, total stations, and lidar, are typically mounted on the drone, requiring the use of brackets to secure these devices to the drone.
[0003] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN221068496U, entitled "A UAV Bracket," belonging to the field of bracket technology. It includes a UAV body and a buffer mechanism disposed on the underside of the UAV body. The buffer mechanism includes a mounting plate disposed on the underside of the UAV body. Two sets of rotating rods are movably connected to the inner sides of the mounting plate via pivots. The mounting plate has slots that mate with the rotating rods. A placement rod is fixedly connected between every two sets of rotating rods, with both placement rods located below the rotating rods. By incorporating the buffer mechanism, the device operates upon landing, causing the rotating rods to simultaneously deform the torsion springs and the first spring, thus providing cushioning protection for the device. Because the device simultaneously activates multiple sets of torsion springs and the first spring during landing, the cushioning effect is better, providing superior protection for the UAV body.
[0004] Existing brackets cannot adjust the position of the mounting holes. Generally, the mounting hole positions on the brackets are fixed and can only be used with specific measuring equipment. When it is necessary to change to a different model of measuring equipment, the corresponding bracket often needs to be replaced, which increases the equipment cost and inconvenience of use. It is also not convenient to adjust the direction and angle. Generally, after the bracket is installed with the measuring equipment, if you want to adjust the direction or angle of the measuring equipment, you need to disassemble the measuring equipment, adjust it, and then reinstall it. The adjustment process is relatively troublesome, increases the workload, and reduces the efficiency of adjustment. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a bracket for UAV measurement.
