Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) components, and in particular to a UAV Y-shaped support column. Background Technology

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a general term for unmanned aerial vehicles controlled by radio remote control or their own programmed control devices. They require no human passengers and can fly via remote control or pre-programmed instructions, enabling them to perform high-risk or repetitive tasks. UAVs offer many advantages: small size, low cost; labor-saving and easy operation; flexibility and efficiency, among others.

[0003] Drones can be classified by purpose into: military-grade drones, civilian consumer-grade drones, and civilian industrial-grade drones; by flight platform configuration into: fixed-wing drones, rotary-wing drones, unmanned helicopters, unmanned airships, paragliding drones, flapping-wing drones, etc.; and by mission altitude into: ultra-low-altitude drones, low-altitude drones, medium-altitude drones, high-altitude drones, and ultra-high-altitude drones.

[0004] Drones are widely used in fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, plant protection, mini selfies, express delivery, disaster relief, wildlife observation, infectious disease monitoring, surveying, news reporting, power line inspection, disaster relief, film and television shooting, and creating romance.

[0005] Drones consist of many components, one of which is the support column. This support column is positioned between the drone's fuselage and the propeller guard ring, connecting and securing the two parts and providing support. These support columns are typically cylindrical. While simple in structure and providing some connection and support, cylindrical support columns only have two connection points and offer vertical support, lacking horizontal support. This results in insufficient torsional resistance for the drone's structure. To increase structural strength, multiple cylindrical support columns are often required, typically eight, leading to a larger fuselage, greater drone weight, higher drag, poorer flight performance, and lower overall quality, making the drone less competitive and resulting in a poor user experience that fails to meet current needs. Therefore, it is necessary to research a new technical solution to improve the current support column design. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology by providing a Y-shaped support column for drones. This effectively solves the problem that existing cylindrical support columns only have two connection points, providing only vertical support and lacking horizontal support. This results in insufficient torsional resistance of the drone structure. To increase structural strength, multiple cylindrical support columns are required, leading to a larger fuselage, greater drone weight, higher flight drag, poorer flight performance, lower quality, less competitiveness, and a poorer user experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A UAV Y-shaped support column includes a body, which has a Y-shaped structure and is made of aluminum alloy. The body includes a connecting part, a first extension part, a second extension part, and a third extension part. The first extension part and the second extension part extend vertically upward at both ends of the connecting part. The third extension part is disposed between the first extension part and the second extension part and extends vertically downward at the middle of the connecting part.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the first extension is a square structure with high bending stiffness, which is more advantageous in scenarios subject to lateral impacts (such as the tilted landing of a drone) and can effectively prevent deformation of the supporting structure; it also has good anti-torsion performance.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the second extension has a square structure with high bending stiffness, which is more advantageous in scenarios subject to lateral impacts (such as the tilted landing of a drone) and can effectively prevent deformation of the supporting structure; it also has good anti-torsion performance.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the third extension is a square structure with high bending stiffness, which is more advantageous in scenarios subject to lateral impacts (such as the tilted landing of a drone) and can effectively prevent deformation of the supporting structure; it also has good anti-torsion performance.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the first extension is provided with a first screw hole for fixing with an external screw. The screw connection structure is stable and reliable, and the assembly is convenient and quick, bringing convenience to production.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the second extension is provided with a second screw hole for fixing with an external screw. The screw connection structure is stable and reliable, and the assembly is convenient and quick, bringing convenience to production.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the third extension is provided with a third screw hole for fixing with an external screw. The screw connection structure is stable and reliable, and the assembly is convenient and quick, bringing convenience to production.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting portion includes a main body, a first connecting portion, and a second connecting portion. One end of the first connecting portion extends obliquely from one end of the main body, and the first extension portion is located at the other end of the first connecting portion. One end of the second connecting portion extends obliquely from the other end of the main body, and the second extension portion is located at the other end of the second connecting portion. The distance between the first extension portion and the second extension portion can be adjusted according to different needs by adjusting the length of the first connecting portion, the length of the second connecting portion, the tilt angle between the first connecting portion and the main body, and the tilt angle between the second connecting portion and the main body. The relative position between the third extension portion and the first and second extension portions can also be adjusted to meet different needs.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, the third extension is fixedly connected to the external parts through a riveting mechanism. The riveting connection structure is stable and reliable, and assembly is convenient and quick, bringing convenience to production.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:

[0018] By designing the main body as a Y-shaped structure made of aluminum alloy, the main body includes a connecting part, a first extension part, a second extension part, and a third extension part. The first and second extension parts extend vertically upwards from both ends of the connecting part, and the third extension part is located between the first and second extension parts and extends vertically downwards from the middle of the connecting part. This Y-shaped support column structure for the drone provides three connection points, effectively achieving vertical and horizontal support, enhancing the drone's structural torsional resistance, improving structural strength, and requiring fewer support columns to meet structural strength requirements. This allows for a smaller fuselage and reduced drone weight, facilitating lightweight design, effectively reducing flight drag, improving flight performance, enhancing the drone's quality, making it more competitive, improving user experience, and meeting current needs.
