Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to an adjustable-angle FPV racing UAV takeoff platform. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid rise of FPV (First-Person View) drone racing worldwide, this highly entertaining and competitive sport has attracted a large number of enthusiasts. This sport requires pilots to control drones at high speeds across complex tracks using footage transmitted from onboard cameras, placing stringent demands on drone performance and the professionalism and standardization of related auxiliary equipment. The launch pad, as a crucial piece of equipment in the FPV racing drone takeoff preparation phase, directly affects the stability and safety of the aircraft's takeoff, thus influencing the pilot's performance in competitions or training.

[0003] In the current market, existing FPV launch pads have many limitations in terms of design and function. Most launch pads adopt a simple flat or stepped platform structure, which not only lacks a unified industry standard, but also generally lacks angle adjustment capabilities. This prevents pilots from adjusting the drone's takeoff angle according to actual needs and personal habits, greatly affecting their takeoff feel and hindering their control training for takeoffs at different angles, thus limiting their ability to cope with complex competition scenarios.

[0004] Existing launch pads also have significant shortcomings in terms of portability and ease of deployment. Many products lack an integrated and portable design concept, are bulky and complex in structure, making them difficult to deploy quickly and efficiently in temporary outdoor competition or training scenarios, which seriously affects the efficiency and application scope of the equipment.

[0005] In conclusion, the existing FPV launch platforms have shortcomings in terms of angle adjustment and portability, which can no longer meet the growing needs of FPV racing. Therefore, developing an angle-adjustable, portable, and deployable FPV racing drone launch platform is of significant practical importance and urgency. Utility Model Content

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope. Example

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an adjustable-angle FPV racing drone launch platform, comprising a platform 1 and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a base plate 2, a first support plate 3, and a second support plate 4. One top side of the base plate 2 is hinged to one bottom side of the first support plate 3 via a hinge. The top side of the other side of the first support plate 3 is hinged to one bottom side of the second support plate 4 via a hinge. Two sets of fixing blocks 5 are provided on the top side of the other side of the second support plate 4. Each fixing block 5 has a through-hole extending from the front to the rear. One end of the platform 1 is provided with an adjustment plate 6. The front and rear ends of the adjustment plate 6 are each provided with a rotating shaft 7. The platform 1 is rotatably mounted on the second support plate 4 via the two sets of rotating shafts 7 of the adjustment plate 6 and the shaft holes of the two sets of fixing blocks 5. Each fixing block 5 is provided with a locking assembly for limiting the rotation shaft 7. Storage and support assemblies are provided between the base plate 2 and the first support plate 3, and between the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4.

[0028] Before using the aforementioned takeoff platform, the platform is stacked in the form of base plate 2, first support plate 3, second support plate 4, and platform 1, which facilitates carrying. In actual use, base plate 2, first support plate 3, and second support plate 4 are unfolded to a state where the storage support components are reliably positioned. Then, the takeoff platform is placed on the placement surface via base plate 2. The platform 1 can then be rotated to the required takeoff placement angle. At this time, the locking components, the shaft holes of the fixing block 5, and the rotating shaft 7 of the adjusting plate 6 are used to lock and limit the platform 1, so that the platform 1 reliably maintains its current placement state. The takeoff platform is then ready for use. Through the above settings, the flexibility and portability of the takeoff platform are greatly improved. Moreover, depending on the strength requirements of the actual use of the takeoff platform, aluminum alloy or carbon fiber plate can be selected as the material for the takeoff platform, which can ensure high strength while making it lightweight and easy to carry.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, a limiting frame 8 is provided at the top of the tabletop 1. The limiting frame 8 is a V-shaped frame, and the opening of the V-shaped frame is located on the side away from the adjusting plate 6.

[0030] A limiting frame 8 is set on the platform 1, and the shape of the limiting frame 8 is set as V. At this time, various models of racing drones can be directly placed on the limiting frame 8 to ensure that the aircraft will not slide forward or tilt during takeoff, thus protecting the safety of the equipment.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the storage support component includes a control block 9. A U-shaped groove is provided through the top left and right sides of the control block 9. A support rod 10 is hinged in the U-shaped groove. An auxiliary block is provided at the bottom of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4. The top of the support rod 10 is hinged to the auxiliary block at the bottom of the corresponding first support plate 3 or second support plate 4. A sliding groove 11 is provided on the top of the base plate 2 away from the hinge and on the top of the first support plate 3 near the hinge with the base plate 2. A limiting groove is provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the sliding groove 11. A limiting block 12 is provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the control block 9. The control block 9 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 11. The two sets of limiting blocks 12 are slidably installed in the two sets of limiting grooves respectively. A clamping component is provided on the control block 9.

[0032] When the launch platform is unfolded, the unfolded second support plate 4 or the first support plate 3 will pull the corresponding support rod 10 through the auxiliary block. At the same time, the support rod 10 will pull the control block 9 to slide within the corresponding slide groove 11. During this process, the two sets of limiting grooves and the two sets of limiting blocks 12 cooperate to limit the control block 9 within the slide groove 11, so that the control block 9 can slide within the slide groove 11 without disengaging from it. When the control block 9 is tightly attached to one end of the slide groove 11, the clamping assembly precisely limits the control block 9 to its current position in the slide groove 11. Then, the first support plate 3, the second support plate 4, and the base plate 2 are precisely in the unfolded state at the set angle, which can reliably support the platform 1.

[0033] When the takeoff platform needs to be stowed, the locking components are released, and then the second support plate 4 and the first support plate 3 are pressed. The control block 9 will then reset within the slide groove 11, completing the stacking of the base plate 2, the first support plate 3, and the second support plate 4.

[0034] The aforementioned storage structure is easy to operate, and its storage greatly improves the portability of the launch pad.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a positioning plate 13. The positioning plate 13 of the first support plate 3 is installed at the left end of the control block 9, and the positioning plate 13 of the base plate 2 is installed at the right end of the control block 9. A telescopic hole is provided through the top of the positioning plate 13. A clamping shaft 14 is telescopically slidably arranged in the telescopic hole. A baffle 15 is provided at the bottom of the clamping shaft 14. A clamping spring 16 is sleeved on the clamping shaft 14. The clamping spring 16 is located between the baffle 15 and the positioning plate 13 and is in pressure contact with the baffle 15 and the positioning plate 13. A clamping groove 17 is provided at the bottom of the slide groove 11. When the control block 9 of the first support plate 3 is close to the right end of its slide groove 11 and when the control block 9 of the base plate 2 is close to the left end of its slide groove 11, the position of the clamping shaft 14 and the corresponding clamping groove 17 are adapted and the clamping shaft 14 can be slidably inserted into the corresponding clamping groove 17.

[0036] When the launch pad is needed, the control block 9 is pulled to one end of the slide groove 11. At this time, with the cooperation of the positioning plate 13, the clamping spring 16, and the baffle 15, the clamping shaft 14 pushes the control block 9 into the corresponding clamping groove 17. At this time, the clamping groove 17 and the clamping shaft 14 cooperate to complete the limiting process of the control block 9, so that the control block 9 cannot slide in the slide groove 11. Then, the positions of the base plate 2, the first support plate 3, and the second support plate 4 are defined.

[0037] When the takeoff platform needs to be stored, simply pull the clamping shaft 14 out of the clamping groove 17, then fold and press the corresponding first support plate 3 or second support plate 4. The control block 9 can then slide and reset within the slide groove 11, completing the storage process.

[0038] The aforementioned clamping components greatly improve the ease of operation and reliability, and have a simple structure and high reliability.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the locking component is configured as a locking bolt 18, the left end of the fixing block 5 is provided with a locking threaded hole communicating with the shaft hole, the locking bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the locking threaded hole, and the locking bolt 18 is provided with a locking handle;

[0040] The locking assembly is set as a combination of locking handle and locking bolt 18, which is simple to operate, highly reliable, and improves the stability of the takeoff platform.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, an annular groove is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 7, and an anti-slip rubber ring 19 is fixedly sleeved in the annular groove;

[0042] After the locking bolt 18 is tightened, it will press against the anti-slip rubber ring 19 of the rotating shaft 7. The anti-slip rubber ring 19 increases the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the rotating shaft 7 and the locking bolt 18, greatly reducing the probability of slippage or loosening of the locking bolt 18, and significantly improving the stability and reliability of use.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiments, each of the clamping shafts 14 is provided with an auxiliary handle 20 at its top end;

[0044] The auxiliary handle 20 makes it easier to pull the clamping shaft 14.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the substrate 2 is characterized in that four sets of adjustable feet 21 are evenly distributed at the bottom end;

[0046] Four sets of adjustable feet 21 are provided at the bottom of the base plate 2, which improves the adaptability of the base plate 2 to different flatness placement surfaces and further improves the versatility and stability of the takeoff platform.

[0047] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0048] This adjustable-angle FPV racing drone takeoff platform achieves flexible adjustment through multiple hinge structures: In the support assembly, the base plate 2, the first support plate 3, and the second support plate 4 are hinged together, and with the control block 9, support rod 10, and locking assembly for storing the support components, it can be folded for storage to reduce volume; the platform 1 is connected to the fixing block 5 of the second support plate 4 through the pivot 7 of the adjusting plate 6, and the required angle is fixed by the locking assembly to meet the different takeoff angle requirements of the drone. The V-shaped limit frame 8 stably holds drones of different sizes, and the adjustable feet 21 adapt to uneven ground. The components work together to achieve adjustable angle, easy portability, and stable reliability, providing a highly adaptable takeoff platform for FPV racing drones.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
