Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of airborne aerial camera control screen brackets, specifically an adjustable airborne aerial camera control screen bracket. Background Technology
[0002] An airborne aerial camera operator screen is an integrated screen on an aircraft used to control aerial photography instruments and display key flight parameters. It typically works in conjunction with a head-up display (HUD) or a main flight display (PFD) in the glass cockpit. The placement of the operator screen requires an adjustable airborne aerial camera operator screen bracket.
[0003] However, existing adjustable airborne aerial camera control panel mounts have the following drawbacks: (1) Existing adjustable airborne aerial camera operating screen brackets have weak full-angle adjustment function. The existing devices cannot achieve fine adjustment of height and angle. Most of the existing devices use positioning structures such as pins, which cannot accurately control the position and angle of the device, which may cause the device to be poorly positioned for the operating screen.
[0004] (2) The existing adjustable airborne aerial camera operating screen bracket has a weak buffer function. The aerial camera operating screen is mostly a touch screen. During operation, there is external pressure, which, combined with the vibration of the fuselage, may easily cause the connection between the screen and the bracket to loosen or even fall off. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable airborne aerial camera control panel bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable airborne aerial camera operating screen bracket, comprising a full-angle adjustment assembly and a buffer assembly. The full-angle adjustment assembly consists of a fixed cylinder, an adjusting rod, a limiting plate, a threaded sleeve, a support rod, a rotating ball, a movable frame, a connecting arm, a fixed ball, a movable sleeve, a limiting sleeve, a fixed frame, a connecting frame, and a clamping plate. The adjusting rod is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed cylinder, and the limiting plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the adjusting rod. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed cylinder. The support rod is slidably connected to the top of the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder. The rotating ball is rotatably connected to the top of the support rod. The movable frame is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating ball. The connecting arm is rotatably connected to one end of the movable frame. The fixed ball is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm. The movable sleeve is movably connected to the outer surface of the fixed ball. The limiting sleeve is threadedly connected to one end of the outer surface of the movable sleeve. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to one end of the movable sleeve. The connecting frame is slidably connected to the top of the fixed frame. The clamping plates are slidably connected to both ends of the connecting frame. The buffer assembly consists of a plug rod fixed to the bottom of the support rod, spring A, damper A, spring B, and damper B. Spring A is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the plug rod, and damper A is provided on the inner wall of spring A. Spring B is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping plate, and damper B is provided on the inner wall of spring B.
[0007] Preferably, the top of the fixing cylinder is provided with a fixing groove, and a base is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing groove. The fixing cylinder is installed at a designated position through the base.
[0008] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder, and the inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting plate, so that the limiting plate will slide within the limiting groove on the fixed cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is formed at the center of the outer surface of the fixed cylinder, and a limiting ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. The limiting ring on the fixed cylinder can limit the position of the threaded sleeve.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom front of the fixing frame is provided with a rectangular groove, and a placement rack is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove. The placement rack can facilitate the staff to place the operation screen in advance and then position it.
[0011] Preferably, the top of the adjusting rod has a slot, and the top of the inner sidewall of the slot is slidably connected to the lower surface of the insert rod, so that the main body of the insert rod is always in the slot on the adjusting rod.
[0012] Compared with this device, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This adjustable airborne aerial camera control panel bracket, through the arrangement of a fixed cylinder, adjusting rod, limiting plate, threaded sleeve, support rod, rotating ball, movable frame, connecting arm, fixed ball, movable sleeve, limiting sleeve, fixed frame, connecting frame, and clamping plate, allows the operator to adjust the height of the device by rotating the threaded sleeve on the fixed cylinder. This causes the threaded sleeve to push the limiting plate upwards, which in turn moves the adjusting rod upwards, lifting the support rod on the adjusting rod (the buffer structure between the support rod and the adjusting rod will not be pushed out of the device to prevent damage from excessive shaking). The support rod, rotating ball, movable frame, and connecting arm employ a high-damping design, allowing the operator to adjust the angle... Adjustments are made to roughly determine the position of the fixed bracket on the connecting arm. At the same time, the angle of the fixed bracket at one end of the fixed ball on the connecting arm can be rotated, allowing the movable sleeve on the fixed bracket to freely change angles around the fixed ball. After determining the position of the fixed bracket, the limiting sleeve is screwed onto the movable sleeve. One end of the limiting sleeve will abut against the fixed ball to position the fixed bracket. The operator places the operating screen into the fixed bracket, allowing it to be clamped by the clamps on both sides. Then, the connecting bracket is pressed down, allowing the clamps at both ends of the connecting bracket to also clamp the operating screen. This setup allows the operator to easily adjust the position, angle, and height of the operating screen bracket in all aspects, and the adjustment accuracy meets the requirements of the airborne aerial camera operating screen.
[0013] 2. This adjustable airborne aerial camera control panel bracket, through the arrangement of a support rod, a plug rod, spring A, damper A, spring B, and damper B, allows the operator to adjust the height of the device. The adjustment rod and support rod are slidably connected via the plug rod. Spring A and damper A are installed in the gap between the bottom of the plug rod and the adjustment rod. When the device shakes, spring A and damper A absorb the vertical shaking. The clamps on the mounting bracket are connected by spring B and damper B. When the operator clamps the control panel, they directly pull the clamps on both sides, causing spring B and damper B to deform outwards. After releasing, the clamps hold the control panel. This changes the traditional positioning structure and uses an adaptive method for positioning the control panel. When the device shakes, the clamps are adjusted by the self-adjustment of spring B and damper B to prevent the control panel from falling. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable airborne aerial camera operating screen bracket, including a full-angle adjustment assembly 1 and a buffer assembly 2. The full-angle adjustment assembly 1 is composed of a fixed cylinder 101, an adjusting rod 102, a limiting plate 103, a threaded sleeve 104, a support rod 105, a rotating ball 106, a movable frame 107, a connecting arm 108, a fixed ball 109, a movable sleeve 110, a limiting sleeve 111, a fixed frame 112, a connecting frame 113, and a clamping plate 114. The adjusting rod 102 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixed cylinder 101, and the limiting plate 103 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the adjusting rod 102. The threaded sleeve 104 is threadedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed cylinder 101, and the top of the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder 101 is slidably connected to... A support rod 105 is rotatably connected to a rotating ball 106 at its top. A movable frame 107 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating ball 106. A connecting arm 108 is rotatably connected to one end of the movable frame 107. A fixed ball 109 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting arm 108. A movable sleeve 110 is movably connected to the outer surface of the fixed ball 109. A limit sleeve 111 is threadedly connected to one end of the outer surface of the movable sleeve 110. A fixed frame 112 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable sleeve 110. A connecting frame 113 is slidably connected to the top of the fixed frame 112. Clamping plates 114 are slidably connected to both ends of the connecting frame 113. The connection is achieved through a fixed cylinder 101, an adjusting rod 102, a limit plate 103, a threaded sleeve 104, a support rod 105, a rotating ball 106, and a movable sleeve 107. The components 107 (moving frame), 108 (connecting arm), 109 (fixed ball), 110 (movable sleeve), 111 (limiting sleeve), 112 (fixed frame), 113 (connecting frame), and 114 (clamping plate) are arranged such that, during use, when adjusting the height of the device, the operator can rotate the threaded sleeve 104 on the fixed cylinder 101, causing the threaded sleeve 104 to push the limiting plate 103 upward, which in turn causes the limiting plate 103 to move the adjusting rod 102 upward, thus lifting the support rod 105 on the adjusting rod 102. The support rod 105, rotating ball 106, movable frame 107, and connecting arm 108 are designed with high damping, allowing the operator to adjust their angles and roughly determine the position of the fixed frame 112 on the connecting arm 108. Simultaneously, the operator can rotate the connecting arm... The angle of the fixed frame 112 at one end of the fixed ball 109 on the fixed frame 108 allows the movable sleeve 110 on the fixed frame 112 to freely change angles around the fixed ball 109. After determining the position of the fixed frame 112, the limiting sleeve 111 is screwed onto the movable sleeve 110. One end of the limiting sleeve 111 will abut against the fixed ball 109 to position the fixed frame 112. The operator puts the operating screen into the fixed frame 112 and lets it be clamped by the clamping plates 114 on both sides. Then, the connecting frame 113 is pressed down so that the clamping plates 114 at both ends of the connecting frame 113 also clamp the operating screen. This setting allows the operator to make full adjustments to the position, angle and height of the operating screen bracket, and the adjustment accuracy meets the requirements of the airborne aerial camera operating screen. The buffer assembly 2 consists of a rod 201 fixed to the bottom of the support rod 105, a spring A202, a damper A203, a spring B204, and a damper B205. The bottom edge of the rod 201 is fixedly connected to the spring A202, and the inner wall of the spring A202 is fitted with the damper A203. One end of the clamping plate 114 is fixedly connected to the spring B204, and the inner wall of the spring B204 is fitted with the damper B205. When the operator adjusts the height of the device, the adjusting rod 102 and the support rod 105 are slidably connected via the rod 201. The spring A202 and the damper A203 are installed in the gap between the bottom of the rod 201 and the adjusting rod 102. When the device shakes... At the same time, spring A202 and damper A203 can absorb the vertical shaking of the device. The clamping plate 114 on the fixed frame 112 is connected by spring B204 and damper B205. When the operator is operating the clamping screen, he directly pulls the clamping plates 114 on both sides, causing the clamping plates 114 to deform outward with the spring B204 and damper B205. After releasing, the clamping plate 114 clamps the operating screen. This changes the traditional positioning structure and adopts an adaptive method to position the operating screen. When the device shakes, the clamping plate 114 will be adjusted by the self-adjustment of spring B204 and damper B205 to prevent the operating screen from falling. The top of the fixing cylinder 101 is provided with a fixing groove, and the inner wall of the fixing groove is fixedly connected to the base 3. With the setting of the fixing cylinder 101 and the base 3, the fixing cylinder 101 is installed in a designated position through the base 3 during use. A limiting groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 101. The inner wall of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting plate 103. With the setting of the fixed cylinder 101 and the limiting plate 103, the limiting plate 103 will slide in the limiting groove on the fixed cylinder 101 during use. An arc-shaped groove is provided at the center of the outer surface of the fixed cylinder 101. A limit ring 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove. With the setting of the fixed cylinder 101 and the limit ring 4, the limit ring 4 on the fixed cylinder 101 can limit the position of the threaded sleeve 104 during use. A rectangular groove is provided at the bottom front of the fixed frame 112, and a placement rack 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove. With the setting of the fixed frame 112 and the placement rack 5, the placement rack 5 can facilitate the staff to pre-position the operation screen during use. The top of the adjusting rod 102 has a slot, and the top of the inner side wall of the slot is slidably connected to the lower surface of the insert rod 201. With the setting of the adjusting rod 102 and the insert rod 201, the main body of the insert rod 201 is always in the slot on the adjusting rod 102 during use.
[0018] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: First step: When adjusting the height of the device, the operator can rotate the threaded sleeve 104 on the fixed cylinder 101, causing the threaded sleeve 104 to push the limiting plate 103 upward. This causes the limiting plate 103 to move the adjusting rod 102 at one end upward, lifting the support rod 105 on the adjusting rod 102. The support rod 105, rotating ball 106, movable frame 107, and connecting arm 108 are designed with high damping, allowing the operator to adjust their angles and roughly determine the position of the fixed frame 112 on the connecting arm 108. Simultaneously, the operator can rotate the connecting arm 108. The angle of the fixed frame 112 at one end of the fixed ball 109 is adjusted so that the movable sleeve 110 on the fixed frame 112 can freely change angles around the fixed ball 109. After the position of the fixed frame 112 is determined, the limiting sleeve 111 is screwed onto the movable sleeve 110. One end of the limiting sleeve 111 will abut against the fixed ball 109 to position the fixed frame 112. The operator puts the operating screen into the fixed frame 112 and lets it be clamped by the clamping plates 114 on both sides. Then, the operator presses down on the connecting frame 113 so that the clamping plates 114 at both ends of the connecting frame 113 also clamp the operating screen. Second step: When the staff adjusts the height of the device, the adjusting rod 102 and the support rod 105 are slidably connected through the insert rod 201. A spring A202 and a damper A203 are installed in the gap between the bottom of the insert rod 201 and the adjusting rod 102. When the device shakes, the spring A202 and the damper A203 can absorb the vertical shaking of the device. The third step: The clamping plate 114 on the fixed frame 112 is connected by spring B204 and damper B205. When the operator is operating the screen, he / she pulls the clamping plates 114 on both sides, causing the clamping plates 114 to deform outward with the spring B204 and damper B205. After releasing, the clamping plate 114 clamps the screen. This changes the traditional positioning structure and adopts an adaptive method for positioning the screen. When the device shakes, the clamping plate 114 will be adjusted by the self-adjustment of spring B204 and damper B205.
