Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology, and in particular to a precision operation device for UAVs based on a dexterous hand. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of drone technology, its application in fields requiring precise operation, such as power line inspection, emergency rescue, and equipment maintenance, has become increasingly widespread. Drones, with their unique aerial mobility, can reach environments that are difficult for personnel to access or are high-risk to perform tasks, demonstrating significant advantages. However, existing airborne operation devices have exposed many technical bottlenecks and design flaws when dealing with complex and precise operation tasks, which seriously restricts the further expansion of their operational efficiency and application scope.
[0003] Currently, most drone-mounted operational devices are specialized designs for specific scenarios, with limited functionality and poor versatility. For example, authorized patent CN202010755130.1 discloses a drone robotic arm for agricultural harvesting. This device employs a first and second concentrically arranged arc-shaped arm. By driving the relative rotation of these two arms, a linked gripper is formed to create a ball-cage-like grasping structure, integrating a cutting blade to simultaneously complete the grasping and cutting operations of the fruit. While this design has some effectiveness in specific harvesting scenarios, its structure has significant limitations: firstly, its movement relies on the rotation of the arc-shaped arm, essentially providing only a single degree of freedom, leading to… The grasping mechanism suffers from severe lack of flexibility and adaptability, making it difficult to perform delicate operations requiring complex spatial orientation adjustments. Secondly, as a highly specialized harvesting mechanism, it lacks modular design and cannot be quickly replaced with other tools (such as sensors, joysticks, or specialized grippers) to meet task requirements, thus limiting the multi-functional application of the drone. Furthermore, its connection to the drone platform is mostly a fixed design with inconsistent interfaces, making it difficult to easily adapt to different models or brands of drone platforms. When replacing a drone, it is often necessary to redesign, process, and install matching supports, increasing usage costs and maintenance complexity. Therefore, this application is provided to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

At the same time, it is also convenient to remove the telescopic quick-release component 3 from the connecting frame component 2. The dexterous hand component 4 provides multiple degrees of freedom, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the grasping mechanism, and thus facilitating the completion of precision operations that require complex spatial posture adjustments.
[0016] In some embodiments, the drone component 1 includes a drone frame 11 and a drone power supply battery 13; the bottom of the drone frame 11 is provided with a simple frame 12, the drone power supply battery 13 is disposed in the simple frame 12, and the bottom end face of the simple frame 12 is provided with a plurality of capsule-shaped fixing holes.
[0017] Using the above technical solution, the drone frame 11 is activated to drive the simple frame 12 to take off and move. The simple frame 12 facilitates the connection of the connecting frame assembly 2 to the bottom of the drone frame 11. The drone power supply battery 13 facilitates the power supply of the drone frame 11, thereby facilitating the power supply of the entire device. Multiple capsule-shaped fixing holes facilitate the connection of the simple frame 12.
[0018] In some embodiments, the connecting frame assembly 2 includes a rectangular frame 21, a dexterous hand control board 23, and a power conversion device 24. The rectangular frame 21 is located at the bottom of the simple frame 12.

The L-shaped component 22 can be used to install the dexterous hand control board 23 and the power conversion device 24 inside the rectangular frame 21, and is fixed around the perimeter by elastic telescopic straps. The dexterous hand control board 23 controls the movement of the dexterous hand component 4, and the power conversion device 24 can be used to convert the power supply of the drone power battery 13 to drive the movement of the dexterous hand component 4. The capsule-shaped fixing hole 3 25 can be used to fix the power supply battery of the development board through the elastic telescopic straps.

The multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical finger 44 facilitates grasping, and the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical finger 44 achieves transmission through a series and parallel connection of multiple linkages. The dexterous hand control board 23 controls the linkage to move, thus enabling the dexterous hand component 4 to provide multiple degrees of freedom, facilitating precise operations for complex spatial pose adjustments.
[0024] Working Principle: The connecting frame assembly 2 allows for a detachable design at the bottom of the drone frame 11, with a unified interface, making the device easily adaptable to different models or brands of drone platforms.
