Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mountain topographic mapping drone technology, specifically to a protective structure for a mountain topographic mapping drone. Background Technology
[0002] Mountain topographic mapping drones are unmanned aerial vehicle systems specifically designed to acquire geospatial information of complex mountainous areas such as mountains and hills, and to provide data support for topographic mapping work. When using mountain topographic mapping drones, it is necessary to equip them with shock-absorbing protection structures to prevent damage to the drones due to take-off and landing vibrations. In actual use, they have advantages such as simple operation, stable structure, and safe use.
[0003] The existing protective structure needs to be fixedly connected to the mountain topography mapping drone. This shock absorption protection method will increase the weight of the mountain topography mapping drone, which will accelerate the consumption of the power of the mobile power supply inside the mountain topography mapping drone, resulting in a shorter flight distance of the mountain topography mapping drone, thereby affecting the single mapping time of the mountain topography mapping drone. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to the accompanying drawings for details. Figure 1 and Figure 2A protective structure for a mountain terrain mapping UAV includes a housing 1. Two sets of mounting seats 2 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the housing 1, and a support platform 3 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the two sets of mounting seats 2. Four sets of spring shock absorbers 4 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the support platform 3. Landing plates 5 are installed on the upper ends of the four sets of spring shock absorbers 4. A base box 6 is welded to the lower part of the housing 1. A lead lever 8 is installed inside the housing 1 via bearings, and a lead screw sleeve 9 is sleeved on the side wall of the lead lever 8. A connecting plate 10 is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the lead screw sleeve 9. Two sets of guide rods 11 slide through the upper part of the connecting plate 10. The two ends are fixedly connected to the top and bottom surfaces of the box 1, respectively. Four sets of insert rods 7 slide through the bottom surface of the box 1. The upper ends of the four sets of insert rods 7 are welded to the lower part of the socket plate 10. The overall stability is achieved by fixing the insert rods 7 to the ground. There is no need for a protective structure to be fixedly connected to the mountain terrain mapping drone. This design avoids the problem of adding extra weight to the mountain terrain mapping drone due to the fixed connection of the traditional protective structure, reduces the power consumption of the mobile power supply of the mountain terrain mapping drone, effectively extends the single flight distance and mapping time of the mountain terrain mapping drone, and improves the operation efficiency and practicality of the equipment.
[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base box 6 has a mounting shaft 13 installed inside via bearings. Two sets of take-up wheels 14 are fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the mounting shaft 13, and shoulder straps 15 are wound around the side wall of each set of take-up wheels 14. One end of each set of shoulder straps 15 slides through the top surface inside the base box 6, and a connecting plate 16 is fixedly installed on one end of each set of shoulder straps 15. A connecting screw 17 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the connecting plate 16, and a connecting nut 19 is sleeved on the side wall of the connecting screw 17. A connecting through hole 18 is opened at the lower part of the support platform 3, and a magnet plate 20 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the connecting plate 16. When moving on complex terrain such as mountain roads, the user can easily carry the box 1 through the shoulder straps 15. After reaching the designated location, the shoulder straps 15 can be quickly put away without affecting the normal use of the equipment. At the same time, with the self-locking universal wheels, the ease of movement on flat ground is also taken into account. This design solves the problem of the difficulty of transporting traditional protective structures in complex terrain, provides convenience for the transfer of UAVs in mountain terrain surveying operations, and enhances the environmental adaptability of the equipment.
[0020] Please see Figure 4 The connecting screw 17 and the connecting nut 19 are threaded together, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the connecting nut 19.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A handwheel is fixedly installed at the upper end of the screw lever 8, which can assist the worker in rotating and using the screw lever 8.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 The screw lever 8 and the screw sleeve 9 are threaded together, which facilitates the adjustment of the working position of the screw sleeve 9.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The lower part of the box body 1 is welded with four sets of support legs 12, and the lower ends of the four sets of support legs 12 are all fixedly installed with self-locking casters. The four sets of self-locking casters can help workers move the box body 1.
[0024] Working principle: In actual use of the protective structure for a mountain terrain mapping UAV, four sets of self-locking casters can be used to move the housing 1 to the designated position. Then, the user can manually rotate the handwheel, which will rotate the lead lever 8. Since the lead lever 8 and the lead screw sleeve 9 are threadedly engaged, the rotating lead lever 8 can push the lead screw sleeve 9 up or down. When the lead screw sleeve 9 drives the four sets of insert rods 7 down through the connecting plate 10, the four sets of insert rods 7 will gradually insert into the ground, thus completing the stable fixation of the housing 1. The mountain terrain mapping UAV can then take off from the landing plate 5 and land on it. The four sets of spring shock absorbers 4 can reduce the vibration generated during the takeoff and landing of the mountain terrain mapping UAV. The two sets of guide rods 11 ensure the stable movement of the connecting plate 10. Through the insertion rods 7, without affecting the shock absorption of the mountain terrain mapping UAV, a fixed connection between the shock absorption protection structure and the mountain terrain mapping UAV can be avoided, thus improving the protection structure of the mountain terrain mapping UAV. The device is practical and easy to use. When the user needs to move the housing 1 on a mountain road, the user moves the connecting plate 16 upwards by hand. When the connecting screw 17 passes through the connecting through hole 18, the connecting screw 17 and the connecting nut 19 are engaged by thread. The user can then rotate the connecting nut 19 clockwise onto the side wall of the connecting screw 17. When the connecting nut 19 is in close contact with the support platform 3, the installation of the connecting plate 16 is completed. At this time, the user can carry the housing 1 with the help of the two sets of shoulder straps 15. When the housing 1 is moved to the designated position, the connecting nut 19 is removed by rotating it counterclockwise. Then the connecting plate 16 is moved downwards. At the same time, the mounting shaft 13 is rotated. The mounting shaft 13 can drive the two sets of winding wheels 14 to wind up the two sets of shoulder straps 15. When the magnet plate 20 contacts the iron base box 6, the two sets of shoulder straps 15 are wound up for protection. With the base box 6, the protective mechanism can be moved on complex terrain, which brings convenience to the use of the protective structure for mountain terrain mapping UAVs.
